choice of the convention, and later
thanked it for the honor.
The committee on resolutions made
the following reportwhich was unan-
imously adopted:
Resolutions.
We. the democrats of Rock Island
county represented in convention as
sembled, do hereby reaffirm our allie
glance to the principles of democracy
as enunciated in the Chicago platform
of 1896. We congratulate that pa
triotic statesman, Hon. William Jen-
nings Bryan, upon his magnificent
canvass, unparalleled in history as
made by him in his gallant fight upon
the platform for the presidency of the
United States against the combined
trusts and combinations which have
for more than quarter of a century
been proving upon the rights and
privileges of the American citizens.
We condemn the republican admin
istration of the state of Illinois as ex-
travagant and having conducted itself
in such a manner as to disgust the
people. in that it had no respect for the
rights of the citizens of this great
state. and we especially place
our condemnation on Gov. Tan
ner in calling the extra SEES
sion of the 4Oth general assembly
which has been unparalleled in the
history of our great state, in this,
that it was the first time that a gov
ernor of the state of Illinois having
both branches of the legislature of his
political party has deemed it neces.
AIRY for the calling of an extra session.
We further condemn the extra session
as having been called solely for polit-
ical purposes. namely; for gerry.
Wandering the state of Illinois into
Legislative districts which were Must
and unfair. We congratulate the
people of the state that we have a su.
preme court which has risen above
party utilization and has declared thi:
vicious bill unconstitutional.
| That we commend the patriotic ac
ton of congress in declaring wal
against the government of Spain fol
the liberty and freedom of our neigh
bors in American waters, the Cubans,
and the vindication of the Maine and
the death of the 263 brave American
sailors.
| That the administration of affair.
now being inflicted upon a patient
and long-suffering people by the pres
ent governor of Illinois, aided by on,
of the worst legislatures of recen
years. is in striking contrast with tn,
record made BY the democratic party
under that ineorruptible and fearles,
friend of the people, John p. Altgeld
and the record of the republican
party is deserving of the severes

condemnation by all self-respecting
citizens. Believing that values
created by the people, in the way of
franchises. should be preserved for
the use and benefit of the generation
which gives them existence, we pro-
test against the iniquitous Allen
franchise law passed by the last
republican legislature, and demand
its repeal, with all measures of like
character, hereby instructing the del
egates to the senatorial convention to
insist on a pledge from our candidate
looking to this end.
We take great pride in the soldiers
who have SO calamity and fearlessly
gone out from their dear homes in
the county of Rock Island to defend
the honor of the American flag.
We extend to the parents of the
late Private Louis Bledsoe our svmpa-
thy in the grief and misfortune which
has befallen them in the death of their
son in the cause of American liberty.
1t is with intense sorrow that the
democratic party OF Rock island
county feels the loss it has sustained
since its last convention two years
ago in the death of those ideal. repre-
sentatives and unfaltering democrats,
John W. Potter and Thomas S. Silvis;
that through their qualities of party
fealty and leadership the democratic
party of Rock Island county recog-
nizes that it profited in their associ-
alton and counsel. The democratic
party of Rock Island county. in con-
ventiOn assembled. offers this testi-
mOnial to the families of the deceased,
John w. Potter and Thomas S. Silvis
together with an expression of it:
most profound sympathy.
The convention then selected j.
W. Cavanaugh chairman of the county
committee.
Candidates Hurst and Huesing were
presented with bouquets.

Philippine Expedition and Hawa all.

Washington. May 25.-The Philippines
expedition is now off in dead earnest.
The sending Of these ships will affect
the Hawaiian question vitality. Like
the Charleston the transports must
stop at Hawaii to replenish their coal
bunkers from the great heaps Of coal
that Consul General Howard has been
piling up fer months past. If the Ha-
waiians let us take this coal without
the pretext that we are using 1t to
make our way to our nearest home
port-as required by international law
in such cases-they will stand convicted
of a gross breach of neutrality that in
the eyes of the law of nations allies
them with the United States in hostility
to Spain. The taking of coal by the
American ships at Hawaii to make an
extensive campaign against the Span
ish possessions it is believed here will
result in compelling the United States
either to assume protectorate over the
islands ar Z" annex them

WOMEN AS COMPOSERS.

Rupert Hughes contributes an article
to the Century or Women Composers"
In which he says:
A prominent publisher tells me that
where. some years ago. only about one
tenth OF the manuscripts submitted were
by women, now their manuscript out
number those Of the men two TO one.
While this ratio will not hold In pub
lished compositions. the rivalry Is close
even there. Women are writing all
sorts OF music a few OF them have al
ready written In the largest forms. pro-
ducing work OF excellent quality and
still better promise. It is In the smaller
forms. howerer-iR instrumental solos
and short songs-that they have natur-
ally found their first success. So good
has their work been here that honesty
compels the admission that hardly any
living men are putting forth music Of
finer quality. deeper sincerity, truer In
diViduality and more adequate courage
than the best OF the women composers.
Besides these, there Is a number Of MI
nor composers writing occasional works
OF the purest quality; and In art quality
is everything.
AS 10 nationality, one finds best rep

FASHIONABLE SIDE COMBS.

.
ST. Louis Republic: Despite the fact
that side combs for the hair come in
such cheap limitations at present and
are so universally worn as to be POSI-
lively common, they are an absolute
necessity for the prevailing mode OF
hair dressing. 1t Is impossible to main
tain the broad effect at the side which
Is de rigueur to-day without the aid
OF these combs. and, though the fash
ionable woman cries out against a
fashion which can be so easily copied
BY her less favored sisters. from mo-
ney point Of view, she has no alterna-
tive but to accept the side comb, though
In such a style and at,such price as to
render It inaccessible 10 the woman
whose pocketbcok is not well filed.
The latest and most fashionable
combs are small, of she'll or amber.
handsomely decorated with finely cut
steel. Sometimes the steel Is merely q
marrow band of beads; again 1t Is ora
besque, or painted, or rounded, or SER
les of fleur de lis or clover leaves. The
variety Is limltless, and. as they are ex-
penslve and not very easily copied In a
cheaper comb, they are considered very
chic.
The matron OF maiden who possesses
stock of unset gems has her combs OF
gold or silver set with precious stones,
and many women who ore known to be
the owners OF beautiful Jewels. and who
would never be suspected OF wearing an
Imitation gem, buy the almost perfect
counterparts OF their gems. which are
shown in the shops. in order to preserve
their more expensive combs. They urge
in explanation that the combs are, so
apt TO fall out OF the soft, fufry rolls OF
hair.
Amber combs just at present seem to
be more in favor than the darker shell,
especially for women with 1noder-
ately light or real blonde hair. The
most up-to-datc ones are studded with
colored stones for evening wear, and II
carefully chosen to harmonize or, con-
trast with the color OF the hair. these
brilliant ornaments are very becoming.
