Democratic
State Platform.

The Democrats of Nevada In Con-
vention assembled declare as fol-
lows:
We endorse every line, word and
syllable of the platform adopted by
the Democratic National Convention
at Chicago in 1896, with particular
emphasis upon the resolution advo.
eating the free and unlimited coinage
of both gold and silver and without
the aid or consent of any ration on
the face of the earth.
Weg glory in the achievements OF
the Army and Navy, in the late war
with Spain and we commend the
Democratic Congressman in their
course upon the prosecution Of the
war. as patriotic, statesmanike and
compatible with the honor and dig
nifty of our nation.
We agrce with Senator Teller, an
ardent ProtectioDest, that the DINGHY
law was formulated and passed. not
for protection OF American labor, nor
for the purpose Of revenue for the
government, but exclusively in tho in
terest of the monopolies and trusts,
which furnished the corruption money
to carry on the Mckinley campaign.
We furthermore declare without
fear of successful contradiction, that
any or all OF the provisions of the in
famous law do not, directly or indi-
rectly benefit. to the amount of q far
thing one hundred actual residents
of Nevada while the entire people OF
the State are additionally taxed in
increased prices Of the necessaries OF
life to an amount more than sufficient
to defray the entire expenses Of the
State govel nment. And it is with
shame and humiliation that we point
to the fact that this measure 80 dis.
treesful to the people of Nevada was
passed by the aid OF our Senators
without which it could never have
become law.
We demand Home Rule for the
people Of Nevada. Our National
Government inaugurated bloody
and expensive war to insure Home
Rule for the Cubans, and yet the
Sovereign State of Nevada has for
years, and still is, under more abject
servitude to the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company, represented by
non residents Of the State than we're
ever the Cubans made subservient to
| the Spanish Crown. We insist and de-
mand that our State shall be repre-
seuted at Washington by actual resi-
dents OF Nevada, instead OF by men
whose sole interests in our Common.

office seeking purposes and whose
sole contributions to the people of
the State are limited to the money
corruptly used to secure their own
elections.
We recognize the Democratic as
the only Silver party in the Nation,
and upon whose success in 1900 de-
pends the establishment of silver
to its former place in the monetary
system Of the Republic. We regard
all local political organizations. pro-
Tossing to favor bimetallis m. as not
only useless, but absolutely obstruct-
i've to the cause they pretend to fos-
ter. The so-called Silver party of
Nevada is especially detrimental to
the silver interest. Its State Admin
istration III the last few years has
been replete with scandals which are
a disgrace to the Commonwealth.
It's continued existence is an insult
to the great Silver party Of the Ma
ton which in 1896 polled nearly six
millions Of votes for the bi-metallic
couse, and its death would be mourn
ed only by few Office seekers who
have maintained 1t in the hope of be-
ing elected to positions which they
could not obtain from any other
party in the State
"e favor the election of United
States Senators by the people. in
stead of Legislatures. We believe
that Nevada has suffered more from
the present system than any other
State in the Union and we most earn
estly demand such change as will, to
a partial extent Mt least. prevent the
gross frauds and corruption as has
and which is now prevailing in our
Senatorial elections.
The democratic party of Nevada is
in favor of utilizing and developing
the natural resources of the State;
We, therefore advocate policy Of
internal improvements 10y which the
surplus water Of our rivers may he
impounded in reservoirs and used in
reclaimlng and irrigating the unoc-
cupied agricultural lands of the State
and opening the same to settlement
and cultivation, thereby inducing
immigration for the development of
the agricultural products of the State
and increase of our population, and
we favor liberal legislation and the
appropriation OK State funds for such
purposes.
We demand that our National Gov
ernment hold possession Of the Phil.
ippine Islands. SO that the products
and trade Of these islands may be
brought to our shores, as such a pol
icy would result in great profit and
commercial advantages to the Paci-
fic Coast.
We most earnestly advise the Dem
ocrats in every county in the State to
organize and form County Central
Committees and to nominate full leg
islative tickets unpledged upon the
matter of u. S. Senator and to adopt
all means OF strengthening the DEM
ooratic party which will in 1900 rep
resent the honest and sincere silver
element in the state.

Why Did Casimir Perier Resign!

1t was remembered that Casimir
Perier had resigned the presidency OF
Dreyfus trial, on the ground that he
could not endure the combination OF
moral responsibility and of powerless-
ness. The tale told by LIE Rapper' was
that NJ. De Munster, the German Min
lister, had called upon the President
and said that he was instructed by his
sovereign to give assurance that Drey-
fus, had not, either in France or in
Belgium, nearly or distantly, been in
relation with the secret service of the
German Government. The EmbaSSa-
dor further suggested that one must
be bien naif to believe that a diplomat
could have thrown into a wastepaper
basket so important a document. Fur
ther, it was said that the Emperor of
Germany had addressed an autograph
letter to the President of France, say
ing: Il give you my word of honor as
a man that Captain Dreyfus has never
betrayed France to the German Gov
ernment; and, if need should be, 1 will
give you my word as Emperor, with all
the consequences thereof Finally,
Casimir Perier was declared to have
said of the story-"It is not precisely
so.' thereby confirming the substance
by contradicting only the detail. Now
if the President did. in fact, receive
these communications. he could do alb
solutely nothing except refer them to
his ministers: and when the ministers
refused to act on them he was in
false and humiliating position, out of
which he might naturally get by pre-
cisely that act of resignation which had
seemed so singular. Probabilities seem
to favor the truth of this story; and if
il was false, there could be no objection
to contradicting it. In the Zola case
CaSimir Perier was on the witness
stand, hut gave out nothing of interest.
He said that ii was his duty not to tell
the whole truth.-John T. Morse, Jr., in

Calhoun's Scholarship.

John c. Calhoun, like Madison, broke
down his health by overworking as a
student. He had no opportunity OF
general reading until he was thlrtee
wears of age, when he visited ms
brother-in-law. a Presbyterian clergy
man There was a circulating library
in the house. and in fourteen weeks
Young Calhoun read the whole stock
of historical works within it, consisting
of Rollins Ancient History, Robertson's 5
Charles V. and America, and Voltalre' S
Charles the Twelfth. He did not seem
to care for novels but after finishing
these he turned to Cooks Voyages. He
was working away at Locke on the
Understanding when his health gave
ont His ewes became sore, he grew
pale and thin and his mother sent for
him to come home and turn his atten-
ton to hunting, fishing and other coun-
try sports. He passed four years IN
this way. and then went to Yale Col
lege. He was a man OF wide reaolns,
and often surprised specialists by his
knowledge of their branch OF the pro-
fessions or sciences. A naval oIIlcer
once said that he did not like him, be-
cause he never liked a man who knew
more about his profession than he did.
Professor Brady. the noted photo-
grapher, once told me that when he
took Calhoun's daguerrotype he was
surprised by his knowledge of the then
comparatively unknown art of photo
graphy, and that Mr.. Calhoun In two
hours conversation taught him some
things concerning a matter upon which
he (Mr. Brady, then the recognized
authority of the country, was ignorant.

William Thackeray Commits Sui
eide at San Francisco.
Was Assistant Librarian Of the Odd FeI-
lows Library.
Crazed With Dependency Over the
Death of His Wife, Frank L.
Smith, a Carpenter, Shoots Him
self, Dying Instantly.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 5.-William
IThackeray, the Assistant Librarian and
Secretary of the Odd Fellows Library,
committed suicide this morning by
Iinhaling gas as his residence, 40 Ellis
street
Thackeray, who was about 62 years
of age, was born in England and came
to this State when a young man.
For over thirty years he has been an
Odd Fellow and was held in the high
est esteem by the members Of the or
der.
destruction by Thackeray, owing to
despondency caused by financial trou-
bles.
For eight years Thackeray held an
official position with the Odd Fellows
and when some weeks ago, the order
decided to sell its library he became
very depressed, as it meant the loss OF
his position. Some time ago he rented
the house at 740 Ellis street and fitted
! it up as a lodging house. His wife IS
partially demented and the services OF
housekeeper were secured.
| For the past few days Thackeray was
considerably worried because he was
unable to meet some payments due
upon the furniture of the house.
Mrs. Ralston, the housekeeper, was
sent by ThackQray to see the srr' from
whom the goods had Orcn obtained
and she was told that unless payment
was made to-day the goods would be
removed
When Mrs Ra!ston returned home
she found that Thackeray was out, and
she waited till l o'clock this morning,
when he returned.
She informed him of the proposed ac-
ton of the furniture firm and he told
her he could not possibly make the
payments.
The unfortunate man retired to his
room and, after undressing, went to an
| adjoining hall room, closed the doors
and windows and removed the tips
from the gas jets, then turning on the
deadly vaDor.
At { o'clock this morning, when Mrs.
Ralston arose, she detected the odor OF
gas and, tracing it to the hall bedroom
found Thackeray dead upon the floor.
The unfortunate man left a widow
and two, married daughters, one of
whom is married to Bob Mitchell. the
comedian, now playing at the Tivoli.
ANOTHER SUICIDE.
SAN FRANCISCO, May o.-CraZed
with despondency over his wife's death,
Frank l.. Smith, a carpenter, living at
207 Carl street, shot himself to-day. He
fell beside the body of his wife, and died
instantly. Both bodies were removed
to the Morgue. Mrs. Smith was taken
i'll on Saturday, and died this morning.
Her husband started to engage an un-
dertaker, but soon returned home and
committed suicide.

and she doesn't keep a nurse. So one
day when she had to go down town
shopping she took her baby and left it
at one of these day nursery-creche
places. They gave her check for it,
and she went off shopping. She didn't
come back to the creche till late in the
afternoon and when she went to take
out the check it was gone
Good gracious!" said the girl with
the ice-cream soda, looking snockeu'
What did she do?"
Well" went on the chocolate girl,
they told her she couldn't have the
baby without a check. and she'd have to
wait till the other babies were taken
away. and then she could have what
was left So she waited for hours and
hours. till all the babies were gone but
one, and when she went to get that
well, the only baby left was colored

the girl with the ice-cream soda, in ac-
| cents of horror. What did she do?
Wasn't she perfectly frantic? My good
ness, how horrible! Didn't she ever
get her baby back again? l should
think she'd have been perfectly crazy
What did she do?"
