Little Rock, Ark, June 19-The demo-
cratic state convention at 12:40 o'clock
this morning elected Senator James
Jones, Senator James H. Berry, Carroll
Armstrong and j. T. w. Tillar delegates
at large to the national convention. The
following platform was unanimously
adopted:
We favor bimetalIism and to that end
we insist upon the free and unlimited
coinage of both gold and silver at the ra-
tio of 16 to as money of final redemp-
tion, with equal legal tender power, in
dependent of the action of any other ma
tion. We are opposed to the issue of in
terest bearing bonds for any purpose in
time of peace. We demand that the gov
ernment shall not surrender, but shall
always exercise lawful option to redeem
It's obligations in either gold or silver as
may be most convenient. We demand the
repeal of the present laws diserediting
the silver money of the nation and per-
mitting the making of private contracts
payable In gold alone.
We are opposed to the national bank
ing system and favor only the money of
the constitution, and we believe that the
power and duty of the government to fur
nish circulating medium should not be
delegated to private corporations.
We favor the collection of an income
tax as part of the revenue of the gen.
eral government and demand such con-
stitutional amendments as may be neces-
sary to authorize the same.
We reaffirm the oft-repeated declara-
tion of the democratic party in favor of
a tariff for revenue only.
We favor the election of United States
senators by a vote of the people in pri-
mary elections.

made the Atlanta team look like veritable
amateurs today in their opening game.
They only got one hit, which was a home
run in the second inning by Wood. The
ball was hit over the right field fence.
During the remainder OF the game they
failed to hit safely, although Van Dyke
is credited with a hit in the ninth for a
fly ball that King misjudged. Norton
also pitched a clever game and let the
home team down with six hits, two Of
which were made in the first inning. The
fielding was good on both sides and the
errors availed naught. Score:

THAT "FIFTH WHEEL" AGAIN.
1I111111 xAS11kx]ss
Editor Henry's Little Game of "Pussy
Wants a Corper.'


Grenada, Miss, June 19.-It has
cropped out that some of the close
friends of Senator walthall, who has
not yet returned from Washington,
have been. sounded with a view to ef-
fecting the absence of the senator as
one of the delegates at large to the ma
tional democra tic convention, In order
that Colonel Henry of the Clarion
Ledger, who was added to the four dele
gates at large. and who is in consequence
called the fifth Wheel may succeed in
getting a seat on the floor of the con-
vention. 1t is urged in Colonel Henry's
interest that Senator Walthal cares
nothing about being a delegate; that he
has frequently been delegate at large,
which Henry never has, and also chair
man of his delegation; and, moreover.
that the last state convention having
instructed for him for vice-president,
that he would not care to sit in a del
egation instructed to vote for him.
Senator Waltha1l's friends here say
that this vice presidential point was
made in the convention in Henrys in
terest and was voted down. WalthalI
has never. in peace or war, shirked any
duty put upon him; as he said to Gen.
eral Hood at the battle of Franklin, he
never sought hard place for glory,
nor a soft place for comfort" that he
was never candidate In his life, but
that he has served the people whenever
called upon, and they. point with pride to
the fact that he Is the only Mississippian
ever elected senator in the face of public
declination, and that, too, without oppo-
sition and despite the fact that the com
mission he then held had four years to
run The senator's friends regret the
dilemma in which the ill-advised and
hasty action of the state convention has
placed the delegation, but they say 1t is
impossible to consent that Senator Wal
thall shall remain away from the nation
al convention.

Dublin, June 19.-At Curragh camp,
Dublin, yesterday Baron Won Eckhard-
stein, attache to the German embassy at
London. presented to the First Dragons
on behalf of the German emperor, who is
honorary colonel of that regiment, a
wreath commemorative of7the battle of
Waterloo. In making the presentation
Baron Won Eckhardstein said he was con-
fident that the regiment would never be
required to take the field against the
kaiser or his majesty's people. The
wreath, he said, had been sent from Ber-
lin as token of the deep interest which
the Kaiser felt N the regiment.

BUSINESS
Views Of Japanese Mer'
chant Jsut Returned.
Effect of Over mmigratiOn-Ouie
on Subject of Sake
Duty.

Among the passengers on the Belgic
from Japan yesterday was S. Ozaki, the
we'll known merchant and importer of
Japanese goods.
Mr.. OZaki has been in Japan for the
past two months, visiting the various
places where porcelains, lacquer and
silk goods are manufactured, and while
inspecting the various wares and ar
ranging for shipments of goods, he
had ample opportunities for ascertain
ing the condition of affairs there and
the feelings of the manufacturers re-
garding Hawaii and the possibilities
of extension of trade.
when l left here the new planta-
ion was in embryo and really not far
enough advanced for the people to make
calculations upon. Now that it is def
nitely settled, | have no doubt all
kinds of business will receive new i'm
petus, though it may be a little while
vet before it will be felt. Europeans
will get the bulk of it, and it will be
some time before the Japanese store
keepers will derive any benefit. OF
course. when the labOrers begin work
| there will be a demand for such goods
| as the Japanese and Chinese merchants
carry. but ] cannot think that the
share of trade which may come TO the
Japanese will place us in the position
of competitors of the whites.
q hear some talk of q number Of free
laborers coming here, but it was not
from a source that could be considered
authoritative. Unless these free labor
ers can obtain employment there is no
use of their coming. and you know
the demand is not increasing with the
supply. The more that come the low
er will be the wages, for the price
of labor. like everything else, is gov
erned by supply and demand. If the
tide of emigration from Japan to Ha-
wall should continue, the logical Sc
quence would be that the rate OF pay
for the laborer would not be above
what the men can get in Japan. When
it reaches that point it is probable the
Japanese will remain away. 1t is sure
" not to the interest of the Japanese
merchants here to have the country
| flooded with people who have neither
work nor money.
Yes, [ have heard some comment
on the action of the Hawaiian Leglsla-
! ture in increasing the duty on sake
! but I do not know what weight II
would have. If it is the intention OF
| His Maiesty's Government to make any
/ request under the most favored ma
ton clause in the treaty, l would no.
be informed of it. You might hear
that it did. and yet there would be nc
truth in it, As an importer of sake
am interested, but l do not think
could venture an opinion as to the

THE MAN FOR CONGRESS.
From the Olyphant Record.


From present indications. William Con.
nell will be the nominee OF the Republi-
cans of this district for congressman next
term. This Is the choice of the party
leaders In and outside Of the city Of Scran-
ton, and the rank and file Of the party
are confident that the best interests OF
both local and national affairs will be safe
In his hands. He is a gentleman widely
known and possesses great influence in
state affairs. He is without question the
best man that can be sent to Washington
from this district.
Mr.. Connell started in life as a poor
boy, and has successfully passed through
all the various stages of life, from pow
erty to atfiuence. He knows what il Is

ferently situated, ever can; and it pre-
eminently qualities him to represent the

Guilty have they found him wanting in
those qualities that relieve human suffer-

bear. Being thus in close touch with the
laboring men of our anthracite regions,
he understands their wants, comprehends
their difficulties and knows their political
tendencies in national affairs, which quail
iiications are essential in our representa-
tive in Washington.
Mr.. Connell has also been closely identi-
fed with the development of northeastern
Pennsylvania. His genial qualities ard

this county and the prominence thrust
upon him by leading men In the state has
brought him to the van In state affairs
He Is the best qualified gentleman in the

will be best served by nominating him for

william E. Russell.

TO the Democracy Of the East. Will
liam Eustis Russell, whose startingly
sudden death is chronicled in our news
columns. has for several years stood in
much the same relation in which Will
Ham Jennings Bryan now stands to the
more Populistic Democracy of the
West Mr.. Russell lacked half year
Of being 30 years old. At twenty he had
completed collegiate course at Har-
ward; at IS he was chosen mayor of his
native city. Cambridge. ard three years
later he received the Democratic nomi-
nation for governor of Massachusetts,
The defeat which followed would have
extinguished an ordinary career; in his
case II simply accelerated it onward to
new triumphs. The following state
campaign saw him elected governor:
and after one recollection he retired to
take prominent part in the battle for
the gold standard at Chicago. Had the
gold forces won. he and not Bryan
might and probably would have been
the nominee.
The distinguished characteristics of
Mr.. Russelrs public activities in po-
litical direction have been his loftiness
of ideals. his sincerity of purpose and
his courage. He was Democrat whom
Republicans could respect. He believed
what he said: he fought fairly and in
the open, and he shirked no conse-
quence. Reared within the shadow Of
Harvard and educated within her
walls, he was in some things a theorlst
rather than a utilitarian. The text
books lauded free trade as the logical
condition in an ideal republic, and he
followed the text books. His eye could
not take in the visible facts which
point to Protection as the essential re-
quisite Of a nation like our own. But
In his economic error he was high mind
cd and honest. He carried in his cam
paigns enthusiasm and eloquence
guarded always by chivalry. He was
knight at argument and he scorned
low intrigue and tricks.
Nevertheless, his temperament was
impetuous, and signal illustration of
this fact comes to mind with almost
tragic distinctness. The leading cr-
ticle in this months Forum was writ
ten by him. 1t was a study of Jeffer-
son, made for the guidance Of Demo.
