ST. LOUIS, july 25.-At o'clock
this morning the corridors of the Lin,
dell hotel were filled with excited dele

convention had just adjourned amid
scenes of darkness and confusion, the

the cry. Texas shouters were anxious
to head the ticket with the tail they
had just selected, and then cast around

votes enough to nominate, but the vote
of Tennessee was finally transferred to
his column. Some one made a motion
to make the nomination unanimous

some one called attention to the fact
that the nomination of Watson was

FirSt-We demand the election of
president, vice-president and United
States senator by a direct vote of the
people.
Second-We tender to the patriotic
people of Cuba our deepest sympathy
in their struggle for political freedom
and independence and we believe the
time has come when the United States,
the great republic of the world, should
recognize that Cuba is, and of right
ought to be, q. free and Independent
state
Third-We favor home rule in the
territories and the District of Columbia
and the early admission of the terri
tories as states.
Fourth-All public salaries should be
made to correspond to the price of labor
and its products.
Fffth-In times of great industrial
depression, idle labor should be en-
played on public works as far as prac-
ticable.
Sixth-The arbitrary course of the
courts in assuming 10 inprison citizens
for indirect contempt and ruling them
by injunction should be prevented by
proper legislation.
Seventh-We favor just pensions for
every disabled union soldier.
Eighth-Believing that the elective
franchise and untrammelled ballot are
essential to government of, for and
by the people, the Peoples party con-
dennis the wholesale system of disfran-
chisement adopted in some of the
states as unrepublican and undemo-
cratic, and we declare it to be the duty
of the several state legislatures to
take such action as will secure a full
and free and fair ballot and an honest
count
Ninth-While the foregoing PROPOSE
tons constitute the platform upon
which our party stands, and for the
vindication of which its organization
will be maintained, we recognize that
the great and pressing issue of the
pending campaign, upon which the
presidential election will turn, is the
financial question. and upon this great
and specific issue between the parties
we cordially invite the aid and cooper
alton of all organizations and citizens

The English government acceding
to the demands of the United States
for the arbitrtion of the Venezuela
boundary lines, is more of victory
than 1T at first seems. 1t is not the
concession in this particular case that
is of Importance, but the acknowl-
edging of the principles expressed in
the Monroe doctrine by the greatest
government on earth, except our
own. 1t was not Venezue1a's border
lines that were in issue, but the ques.
tion as to whether the United States,
looking after It's own interests and
providing for its own protection,
might interfere between the govern
ments of Europe and those of South
America, or rather of this continent,
and compel the submission of differ
ences to arbitrati ton. The United
States, in England's opinion, at least,
has this right, and the far-reachlng
effects of this admission can scarcely
be estimated.

ner in which the war is conducted.
Higher than international law or
international courtesies is moral duty.
To take part in the war is beyond
us; to stop the butchery of women
and children is our duty. Warfare
at its best is bloody butchery of
men, but civilized nations have GER
tain we'll defined rules that govern
the conduct of all wars. One of
these is that non-com batants shall
not be disturbed Another that pris-
oners shall be treated humanely
Spain has violated both Of these
rules, and has turned her licentfous
soldierly loose to rob, to ravish and
to murder. AS long as Spain con-
ducts war against the rebellious SUBJ
jects, according to the rules of civil
lied warfare, it is none of our affair !;
but when she resorts to the methods
of the savage, it becomes our duty
to stay the red hand of murder.
This sentiment is shared by fifteen
millions of free men in this country,
and it is high tine the head of the
government discover this fact. Let
Spain stop her butchery of babes, or
let her be swept by the strong hand
of free America from her last foot
hold on this side of the Atlantic.

A MORAL DUTY.

The dispatches yesterday lead us
to believe that the administration
foresees the possibility of trouble
with Spain, and the probability of
being compelled to interfere to settle
the struggle in Cuba. That this gov
ernment has no right to interfere in
the affairs of Spain or Cuba is freely
admitted. 1t is matter between
the parent government and its colo
nies. The only excuse for any inter-
ference must be based upon the man

THE TRAMP PROBLEM.

The tramp problem has caused, is
causing, and will continue for an in
definite time to cause comment as to
his wherefore and suggestions as to
his whitherness. That he is an un-
mitigated nuisance is undoubted !;
that he is source of danger at all
times, threat to property and a
menace to peace is freely conceded
by all; that ne IS often a dangerous
criminal, always petty one, his his
tory shows.
What then to do with him, and
how to control him have become i'm
portant questions. The remedies
suggested have been multitudinous,
ranging from the rock pile and en-
forced work to a great national home
for him, where he may be sent and
cared for until his moral nature gets
thoroughly renovated and he becomes
a good citizen, by contagion.
The tramp disease, like leprosy,
once contracted Is incapable Of cure,
It goes from bad to verse, eating
into the morals, into the manhood of
the victim until disease or a slip from
the break-beam sends him into the
beyond.
1t seems to US that the proper way
to deal with the tramp is to prevent
him, and we believe this can be done
easily. We premise that the great
mass of tramps were not born to that
condition, but made so; that they
were not born with criminal instincts,
but acquired them through circum-
stances. The only difference, after
all, between your moral citizen and
the criminal is a half dozen or so
meals. When hnnger makes the
demand, crime will, if necessary,
furnish the supply. What then is
the remedy? By making steady en-
ployment possible, the first step IN
tramping will be avoided. How can
this be done? By stopping immi-
grafton, or so controlling 1t that it
will be reduced to a minimum.
With 100000 to 100000 people
coming here annually, besides our
own natural increase, the supply of
labor outruns the demand. The re-
suit is steadily decreasing wages,
trending ever to the level cf those in
Europe, and forced faster and faster
to that level By the sharp competi-
tion of the labor of Europe imported
and competing with that already here.
The laborer, accustomed to certain
wages and to the mode of living per-
mltted from them, becomes disheart-
ened as year after year his wages de-
crease and the practice of tie most
rigid economy is forced upon him.
He refuses to work fer the reduced
wage and takes a tramp seeking
some place where he may better his
condition. The European laborer.
accustomed to lower wages, goes to
work willingly, for to him it is an
increase in pay. The result is that
the new immigrant is employed; the
older one and the American becoming
idle and tramps. The mining re-
glons of Pennsylvania and Ohio are in
consequence practically foreign coun-
tries.
The tramp cannot be cured by
punishment, but he may be prevented
by wisdom. Have we as a nation
