that this power could not be delegated to cor
porations of individuals. We therefore de-
nounce the issuance of Eotes intended to cir
culate as:money by national banks. as in
Of the Constitution, and we de-
mand that all paper which is made legal
tender for public and private debts, and
which is receivable for dues to the United
States, shall be issued by the Government of
tue United States, and be redeemable in coin.
We hold that the most efficient way Of pro-
tecting American labor is to prevent the i'm
portation of foreign pauper labor to compete
with it in the home market, and that the
value of the home market to our
American farmers and artisans is greatly re-
duced by vicious monetary system, which
depresses the prices of their products below
the cost of production and thus deprives them
of the means of purchasing the products of our
home manufactures, and as labor creates the
wealth of the country, we demand the pas
sage of such laws as may be necessary topro-
tect it in all its rights.
We are in favor of the arbitration of differ
ences between employers engaged in inter-
state commerce. and their employees, and re-
commend such legislation as is necessary to
carry out this policy.
The absorption Of wealth by the few, the
combination of our leading railroad systems,
and the formation of trusts and pools, require
stricter control by the Federal Government OF
those arteries of commerce. We demand the
enlargement of the powers of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, and to add such re-
strictions and guarantees in the control of rail
roads as will protect the people from robbery
and oppression.
The Federal government should care for
and improve the Mississippi piver and 9th er
great waterways of the republic SO as to
secure for the interior States. easy and cheap
transportation to tidewater. When any
water way of the republic is of sufficieet i'm
portance to demand aid of the government
such aid should be extended upon definite
plan Of continuous work until permanent I'M
provement is secured.
We favor the admission Of the Territories
of New Mexico, Oklahoma and Arizona into
the Union as States, and we favor the early
admission of all the Territories having the
necessary population and resources to entltle
them to Statehood, and while they remain
Territories we hold that the officials appoint
ed to administer the government of any Terri
tory. together with the District of Columbia
and Alaska, should be bona fide residents OF
the Territory or District in which the
duties are to be performed.
The Democratic party believes in home
rule and that all public lands of the United
States should be Appropriated to the establish
ment of free homes for American citizens.
We recommend that the Territory Of Alaska
be granted delegate in Congress. and that
the general land and timber laws OF the
United States be extended to said Territory.
The Monroe doctrine, as originally declar-
ed, and as interpreted by succeeding Presl-
dents is permanent part of the foreign
policy of the United States and must at all
times be maintained.

Denied by Mrs. JEFF. Davis.

Mrs. Jefferson Davis writes to the New
York Evening Post to correct piece of al
legged history that is current in the news
papers nowadays. She says: "The incIosed
slip was cut from the issue of the Evening
Post Of the 14th instant, and L ask space
for a short refutation."
CThe extract was from the Wichita, Kan.
Eagle, giving an account of the capture of
Jefferson Davis by the enemy during the
Mexican war, while he was making a re-
connoiSsance under the orders CT Gen
Scott, and his confinement in an adobe hut
for eight days with Shackles on his legs
the shackles being now in possession Of a
nephew Of Gen. Sterling Price)
"Of all the extraordinary and absurd in
ventions of scribbler, the above state
ment Is the most unfounded and easily re-
futed. Mr.. Davis was never with Gen
SCOTS wing of the army in Mexico He
was never a Chihauhau; was never a priS-
oner in Mexico, though he took many pris-
oners. He commanded the first Mississippi
regiment and was in Gen. Taylor's wing of
our invading army. From the knowledge
them entertain the least doubt that the gal
liant general would have risked his life at
any time to serve a brother officer in
dureSs, but happily he was never put to
the test by Mr. Davis while they both were
in Mexico. If that part of the statement
of the Wichita Eagle Is true-viz that
Gen. Prices nephew has such shackles as
alleged-he has been imposed on by a
most absurd story, Of which any copy of
the war office reports of that date will dis
abuse him."

NICE POINT OF LAW.
Question in Partnership. Torts. Par
tition and All That.
From the Troy Times.

i rom Tue Troy llultS
An after-dinner story was told by a we'll
known Philadelphia lawyer the other
cveEing. illustrative OF legal difficulties that
may arise even in the carrying out of the
most amicable contracts: There were once
four brothers who Rad inherited a storage
warehouse from their father. and who
equally divided the property between them.
Among the appUrtehanceS thereto was a
cat, fine animal, excellent for housing,
and this.too. was divi led, the elder brother
ON ming the right front quarter, the second
brother the left front quarter. and he two
younger brothers the two hind quarters.
Now, unfortunately, the cat, in one of
its nocturnal prowls, injured the right
front paw, and the elder brother attended
to that portion OF his property by binding
the injured member with a creased rag.
The cat. thankful for this relief TO its suf-
fering. went to sleep contertedly before the
fire. but in the midst of its slumbers a fall
ing coal iSnited the rag. and the animal.
bowling with agony. dashed through the
warehouse. and, coming in contact with
some combustlhles, set the building on
fire. When the loss came to be figured ont
the three younger brothers wished 10 throw
it all upon the elder, upon the ground that
had he not tied up his part of the cat with
the infiammable rag the building would not
have been destroyed. He however. con-
tended that had the cat only been pos
seSsed of the front right PAW, his property,
it would have stood still and burned 10
death. 1t was the three other paws that
caused the damage. The brothers argued
the case until they died, but never could
reach agreement.

Why the Colonel Was There.
he Memphis Commercial Appeal.

L i"l Allt htlHpAls NvhlHtItlal Appear.
Senator Walthall tells a story on himself.
which is none the less good by reason of
the fact that the scene is laid during the
late civil war At that time the Senator
was a colonel in command of a confederate
regiment and had brought his men into DO
sition, occupying sunken road. A federal
battery was pouring shot and shell all
around the adjacent territory. This fire.
however, passed over the regiment hi lden
in the roadway. and they were to all in
tents and purposes out OF danger.
On the high bank in front of the place
where Col Walthall stood was giant pine
tree about a dozen feet in circumference
Acting on the spur of the moment, the coll
onel thought a fine opportunity was pre-
scented to give his men object lesson in
personal bravery without any risk to him
self. Accordingly, he climbed up the bank
and stood behind the pine tree. The next
minute shell struck the tree and sent
shower OF bark and splinters flying I'm all
directions, when Walthall overheard the
following dialogue between two of his men
lying in the roadway beneath:
Il tell you, Jim, il was mighty good
thing for the colonel that that pine tree
was there"
Yes, Tom" replied the other. but if IT
hadn't been for the big tree the colonel
would never have been there I'm the first
place"
