PRESIDENT AND PLATFORM.
Tacoma News.

with great deal OF pride" says a
letter from the national capital, the
President points to what he regards rs
absolute faith in every essential detail
which he kept with the st. Louis plat
form and a number al times le has in
quirrd whether there was anything
promised in that platform which has
not been fulfilled"
That platform declared the protec-
ton policy opposed to the domestic
monopoly and individual favoritism.
How about that? And how about the
trusts which have grown so enormous
ly under protection and this admins
tration?
The platform declared for the pro-
lection of American sugar growers.
Will not the administration policy
check sugar production in this coun-
try by causing island competition?
The platform promised the most
ample protection to both the wool
growers and the wool manufacturers.
Both have complained that the
promise was not kept.
The platform promised discriminate
ing duties for American shipping.
The administration nullifed a meas
Ire of that kind.
The platform pledged the promotion
OF an international agreement as to
silver The President sent a commits
sion abroad, but at critical moment
sent to Congress message in which it
was intirnated that the single gold
standard must be maintained. This
nullified the effort of the commission
and it came home.
The platform made promises as to
pensions which veterans assert have
not been kept.
The platform reasserted the Monroe
doctrine in its fullest extent. The ad-
ministration has pursued foreign
policy which brings into question the
maintenance of that doctrine.
The platform promised not to inter-
fere with the existing possessions of
any European power on this CONT
nent. How about that?
The platform applauded the heroic
battle of the Cuban patriots and ia
vored independence for the island.
Arc the patriots applauded or derided
now, and is the island being given or
likely to be given independence?
The platform promised further re-
striction OF immigration. Has the
promise been kept?
The platform promised the enforce
ment and extension of the civil SER
vice law. The law has not been fairly
enforced, and the President has re-
duced the classified list instead of ex-
tending it.
The platform promised the passage
of free homestead measure. It has
not been passed.
The platform favored the prompt
admission of all the territories as
States, and that all Territorial federal
appointees should be residents thereof.
Has either promise been kept?
The platform declared for Alaskan
representation in Congress. 1t has not
been granted.
Is the President joking when he
says he has lived up to the platform?

Obituary.
MRS, CAROLINE LACKNER.

Mrs. Caroline Lackner died Friday

waukee from New York state with her
father, and drove overland to Fulton
and has lived in the same place ever
since. She was 83 years of age, and had
been i'll about six months. She leaves
three sons, Cortland, Jacob and George,
and two daughters, Caroline and Lilly.
The funeral was held Sunday from the
homestead, and the interment was made

Suicide at Evansville.

A dispatch from Evansville says that
city way thrown into an intense state of
excitement over the announcement of
the sudden death of Ryland F. Wood
bury, which was only increased when the
fact became known that his death was
due to his own hand, that he had COM
mitted suicide. Mr.. Woodbury. is said
to have met his death by taking an over
dose of morphine. He passed away
about half past one o'clock Monday
afternoon and nothing could be done to
save him.
Mr. Woodbury. was one of the old and
highly respected citizens of Evansville.
He was the senior member of the firm of
R. F. Woodbury. & Son. who conduct
general store No reason has thus far
been assigned as to why he should per-
form this rash act. He was not known
to have any trouble and it is thought
that it must have been due to business
troubles. Mr.. Woodbury. stood high in
that community both as citizen and
business man and was one of the pio-
neer residents. His tragic death has
caused universal sorrow in that commu
nifty.

the greatest foot ball event the state has
witnessed in years to take place on Sat-
urday next with Chicago university.

Fight Your Own Battles.

Scarcely a day passes but someone
with grievance requests us to rip some
body up the back. We don't rip. Who
ever heard of anyone tearing their shirt
and making enemies just to help an
editorout of trouble or to defend him
from an attack of some kind? Nobody!
If you are badly used, have the manhood
to fight your own battles. Editors have
learned by experience that individuals
whose axes they grind often use those
axes to chop the stuffing out of the edi-
tor. If you have anything to say to
man through the medium of the press,
take it to the editor, put your name to
it, pay for the space the same as the
merchant does, and let her go Gallagher;
but don't ask the editor to father your
grievances.
