COLONEL JONES DID TT
Editor of the st. Louis Post-Dispatch Per
ned the Platform.


Chicago, July S.1The platform of the
Democratic convention which was tel
egraphed from Chicago last night ex-
clusively by the Associated Press, and
which will be reported, with a few
amendments, by the committee on reSo-
buttons. has no such cloud of rival ciai-
mants to its authorship and inspiration
as suroruned the making of the plat
form at St Louis. which was really the
main issue of the Republican conven-
ton. One man may be, TO all practi-
cal purposes. credited with the author
ship of the Democratic platformb. This
honor belongs TO Colonel Charles H.
Jones, publisher of the st. Louis Post
Dispatch. Colonel Jones wrote the first
draft of the declaration of principles
which will doubtless be promulgated
to the country by this convention. The
document was arranged and worded by
him, after consultation with Senators
Coekreil and Vest and other leaders
and mis- draft was adopted by the COM
nlfttee on resolutions after three minor
ity pianks had been added, which did
not affect the principles or spirit OF
Colonel Jones' work. The most vital
plank of the Democratic declaration,
that dealing with the financial plank,
and outlining with considerable detail
che articles of faith held by the silver
delegates, was almost entirely the prod
uct of the st. Louis editors pen. He
also crystalized into verbal form the
other points of the party creed, fore
most among which is the tariff and in
come tax planks. and those of lesser
importance, planks relating to federal
interference in state affairs, the denun-
oio Of 10
the civil service plank and the decfara-
ton against a third term for presidents.
The plank against the Pacific refun-
ding bill was first suggested by the
state Democratic convention of Cali
fornia, which instructed the state dele
gates to propose such a plank to the
convention Ex-Congressman Can't
netti and Congressman Mcguire, of Cal
ifornia, made canvass of the commit
tee on resolutfonsh in behalf of the prop
osition, and Senator Waite, who was
a member of the committee succeeded
in prevailing upon it to pledge the
party to the policy of opposition to the
funding plan.
Senator Vest of Missouri drew up
the plank on pensions. The express
ion on the Cuban reyolutionists in the
platform was first brought forward
in the form of a plank written by Mr..
James Creelman, the newspaper cor
respondent, but Congressman Sulzer Of
New York modified the statement to
meet the views of the leaders.
So far as the much discussed sugges-
ton of platform of one plank deciar-
ing for free coinage at is to l goes, 1t
was never\ seriously entertained by
the committee on resolutions.

MANUFACTURE OF GUNPoWDsR.

One Feature of the Dangerous Proceed.
Ing.
In the center of the mill is big iron
saucer, probably six feet in diameter
The rim of the saucer is about Is inches
high. Standing up in the saucer are two
wheels. They seem TO be about six feet
in diameter also, aud their rims about
O foot broad. These wheels and this
saucer do the rolling of the powder
that is, they grind the three substances
that compose the powder into a new
mixture. The wheels are swept around
end around in the saucer, and they also
turn on their own axes. 1t is as If they
were kept rolling over and over, just
as the wheels Of carriage roll, but also
eos if some power kept them turning
about constantly in the small circle OF
this saucer. This mill Is where wooden
machinery cannot be used. and of course
that makes it a very dangerous place
The mixture of the ingredients of the
powder is brought in and dumped care
fully in the saucer. 1t is spread about
smoothly by a workman, who. after
this work is done, GOES outside the mill.
and does not come back until the pow
der is rolled thoroughly. Tho workman
goes to wheel few feet away from the
building and turns it very slowly. 1t
starts the machinery that moves the
wheels in the saucer. The greatest dan
ger in rolling comes at this time. The
rolling must be begun in the slowest
possible way. The danger is that there
may be lump in the mixture in the
saucer that viii raise one of the wheels
as it turns around and then drop i'll sud
aenly in the saucer, causing a spark
If this comes, away goes your mill ano
machinery, and possibly the workman'i
life with them.-Harper's Round Table

The Louisiana populist., 1896-10-09
A Good Scheme.

Some one has suggested that the
Idea, now under consideration at
Washington, to utilize tho mail sys-
tenn as a means OF circulating the
weather representations will, If adopt
ed, strike another blow at letter writing.
1t is proposed to have the weather bu-
reau telegraph its bulletins to the post
Office twice day, so that they may be
inserted in the stamp that is marked
on the back OF every envelope. BY
this device a man can tell what the
weather was in the town where the let
ter was mailed and what the wheather
bureau guessed 1t would be for the
twenty-four hours following. Many
letter writer's now fill several lines of
note paper with description Of the
weather that they are enjoying"
Not frequently this proves to be the
only information of interest, and
postofiicial believes that if this depart
ment furnished this news on the en-
velope it would, in some cases, make
an enclosure superfrous.
The Louisiana populist., 1896-10-09
The People May Interfere.

Here is q peculiar feature OF modern
politics. for the unregenerated OF both
oil parties to study. In 1892 the ex-
pert politicians of the republican party
conceded the presidency to the demo-
Gratis long before the campaign opened.
In this year OF our Lord the expert
democratic politicians already concede
the presidency to the republicans.
The democrats who put up the
money to run campaigns. the rich man.
ufacturers, the railroad owners, and all
the princes" of the democratic party
are willing to concede the presidency
to the republicans this year. or course
they want their own party to make
hot campaign; 1t must do that or it will!
die of ennui. They are willing to put
up money for both sides. II necessary.
to keep up the mock fight between the
twin parties; then, II the people remain
az stupid as they have been, In 1900
the republicans may let the democrats
win again.
But there comes time when the
best laid plans fail; when confidenc,
games are exposed; when forbearanco
ceases to be a virtue; when circum
stances force people to rise in a move
ment of self-defense. And who knows
but that time is very near at hand? 1t
is at least time to hope.-Topeka Ad-
vocafo.
