THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM

The following platform was adopted
by the Democratic State Convention
in session here last May.
The Democratic party OF North Car
Dina, in convention assembled in Raj
eigh, N. G., on this day, May 26, 1898,
do hereby approve, endorse aud ratify
the last Democratic National and State
platforms, and pledge our earnest sup
port to the principles therein
expressed.
We denounce the Republican party
FOR the passage of the DINGHY tariff
bill, which has increased the burdens
OF taxation upon the consumers and
given the trusts and monopolists
greater power to rob the people.
Believing that under our present
methods of Federal taxation more than
three quarters OF our national reve
nues are paid by people owning less
than one quarter of the property OF
the country, we protest against such
inequality and injustice, and in order
to remedy to some extent this great
wrong, we favor an income tax, and
favor all constitutional methods to
sustain it.
We denounce the republican party

Quaint Fashions In Manila.

Gem Of the orient earth and open sea,
Manila, that in thy lap and on thy breast
Hath gathered beauties all the lovcliest,
On which the sun smiles IN his jesty,
and so on. The quatrain, with an unim-
portant emendation, is from Bawring.
1t sounds fine and rings false. Manila
used to be regarded as the most fortu-
nately situated city in the world. Just
why is a problem. Set beneath torrid
sky, remote from the routes Of COM
merce, it has squatted, unheeding and
practically UNDECIDED, the capital of a
stretch OF unfortunate isles. Visitors
have been infrequent. The earliest was
Magellan. The most recurrent has been
the typhoon. The most pertinacious has
been the earthquake.
Objects of interest are few. Among
them is the mestizo. Superstitious as a
ballad, languorous as serenade, she
floats, a human butterfly, along the scar.
let lanes. Another feature is the eli
mate. Fancy pastille burning in a
vapor bath. The atmosphere has the
SAVIOR of cachous and the bite of red pep
pers. Costume, in consequence, is brief.
The mantilla of the mesti2o is her hair.
Her raiment is silk, very bright, very
loose. The male half caste wears trou-
sers and a shirt. The tails of the latter
are not always tucked in. On high days
he flaunts them. The effect is neat, not
gaudy. So much for local fashionable

Gently physician, dwelling upon how

Camp Black, N. Y. Aug. 8. Tie
shower baths in Camp Black have been
in great demand, and the soldiers were
cooled off in squads after they had fin
ished drilling. The routine progresses,
and the men are hoping that some thing
will happen to break the monotony of
camp life. Company M, the only one of
the Two Hundred and Third missing,
is expected from Manhattan. Then the
second call troops from New York will
be complete. The Seventyfrst regi-
ment recruits here are expecting orders
from Washington to go to Montauk and
join the main body of the regiment.
The men discussed the prospects of
their being mustered out Of the service
on account of peace in the near future.
Many of the boys would like to be sent
to Cuba, Porto Rico. the Philippines or
Hawaii to do garrison duty when the
war ends, but do not consider their
chances overnight. for many regi-
ments summoned under the first call
have not yet seen active service.
