CONVENTION HALL, CHICAGO, July
s.-When the report OF the Committee
on Resolutions is made 10 the convention
tomorrow, a minority report will be also
presented. endorsing the financial policy
OF the Cleveland Administration. To
that Senator Tillman, OF South Carolina.
will offer an. amendment. and address
the convention upon IL for nifty minutes.
Senator Tillman's amendment Is in these
words:
President Cleveland as un-Democratic
and tyrannical and as a departure from
those principles which are cherished by
all liberty loving Americans.
The veto power mas been used 10 thwart
the will OF the people, as expressed by
their representatives, In Congress. The
appointive power has been used 10 subsi-
dize the press. 10 debauch Congress. and
to Overawe and control citizens in the
free exercise OF their constitutional rights
as voters
"a plutocratic despotism has thus been
sought 10 be established on the ruins OF
the republic. We repudiate the cons,ruc-
ton placed on the financial plank OF the
last Democratic national platform by
President Cleveland and Secretary Car
Isle as contrary 10 the plain meaning OF
English words. and as being an act OF bad
faith deserving the severest censure. The
issue OF bonds in time Of peace with
which 10 buy gold 10 redeem coin obligs-
tons payable In silver or gold az the OPP
ton OF the government, and the use OF
the proceeds to defray the ordinary ex-
penses OF the government are both uniaw-
ful ard usurpations OF authority, deserv-
ing impeachment"

THE sAPIENT CROW.
He Can CouBt IN to .6, and Has a
Touch of Irony In uis Nake-tP.


| A naturalist who is much Interested IN
/ birds says that the crow Is the wisest OF.
| all feathered animals He has made u
number OF experiments recently and de-
clares that an ordinarily well-educated
crow can count 10 twenty and that he
has found sentinel crow. very old and
! very wise. that can count to twenty-six.
| He made these discoveries In a very inte-
resting way.
Last summer he spent much time In tho
mountains, where cadet company OF
boys was camped. one day he round =
flock of crows gathered around dead AMI
NAL that lay near a little old shanty I'm
the woods. They tapped away when hs
approached So he hid himself In the old
shanty and waited. but they would not
come back Then he went out and walked
on up the mountain. and they all settled
down again to the feast That afternoon
he took four boys from the cadet camp
with him. and the five marched into the
little building and waited. No crows came
back. Two OF the boys went out. still no
crows. Then the other two went out, and
only the naturalist remained. But the old
sentinel crow had evidently counted thom
az they went In, and he knew they had
not all come out SO he sat on dry pine
stump and said "Caw, cav quite deris-
lively. At last the naturalist left the
building. and straightway all the crows
returned. This experiment was repeated
a number OF times with varying numbers
OF boys, but the crows kept count and
would not come down untn the building
was entirely empty.
At last n whole platoon OF the cadets,
twenty-six boys In all. and the naturalist,
marched into the old building. Then slows
" twenty Of them went away. The crows
did not stir Two more. four more. five
more went, but the old sentinel ~arned hts
companions that the men had not all
gone Then the twenty-sixth cadet march
ed away. leaving only the naturalist. In
a very few minutes there were number
OF hopeful caws and a Tapping OF wings,
and the crows returned. The old sentinel
could evidently county twenty-slx but
numbers beyond this puzzled him. The cx-
pertinent was tried several times more.
and IL was found that the crows could
keep the count without difficulty up 70
twenty but beyond that they were unces-
tain. This shows that the crow IS very
wise old bird.
