1896, but then defended by the repub-
licans, has boldly stalked forth from it's
hiding place and threatens the forma-
ton OF gigantic paper money trust
On the question of trusts the plat
form declares:
THE industrial trusts springing up
on every hand testify to the administra-
tons Indifference 10 monopoly, or it's
inability to cope with it. We denounce
the failure of the administration to en-
force the present laws against trusts,
or to recommend new laws if the pres
ent law is deemed insufficient.
we are opposed to monopoly wher-
ever it manifests itself. We demand
the enforcement of the present federal
law, the enactment of such new legis-
lation as may be necessary, and con-
stitutional amendment. if the present
constitution Is construed to protect
trusts, to the end that the monopoliz-
ing of industry by private corporations
may be absolutely prevented. Every
trust rests upon a corporation, and
every corporation is creature of laws.
and the law, state and national, must
place upon the corporations such limi-
tations and restrictions as will protect
the public from injury"
The platform praises the Nebraska
soldiers for their part in the Philippines
and goes on to say:
But while we commend the soldiers
for obedience to all orders emanating
from the chief executive. we condemn
the administration policy which has
converted war for humanity into a
war for conquest. We believe the Fill
pinos should have received the same
treatment as the .Cubans and that, as
the Cubans were assured of ultimate
independence and protection. so the
Filipinos should have been assured in
the beginning of our nations intention
to give them independence as soon as
a stable government should be estab-
lished and secure protection from out
side interference Such assurance
should be given now. If the Cubans,
as is stated in the resolutions of inter
vention, are, and of a right ought to be
free, the same can be said of the Fill
pinos and this nation would suffer no
humiliation in acknowledging adher-
ence to the doctrine that governments
derive their just power from the con-
sent of the governed
The resolutions declare in favor of
arbitration, favor popular election of
United States senators, the initiative
and referendum and declare against
any increase in the standing army ana

INDIANS DRIVEN BACK
General Torres Column Put the
Yaquis to Flight.
WERE FIERCE STRUGGLES
Mexican Loss Is Slight, While That of
The Opposing Tribesmen Is Said
To Be Heavy-Retreat Into
The Jungles.

Potam, Mexico, Aug Is, via Nogales,
Torres gave the order to advance on
Nicam. Three sharp engagements were
fought before the troops succeeded in
entering the stronghold. The Indians
met the government forces first about
half mile west of Vicam and fell
back. They rallied again on the out
skirts of the Pueblo and were driven
in. The soldiers were advancing in the
form of half moon, and when they
reached Vicam it required a desperate
struggle before the Indians were driven
from their position.
In three engagements two Mexicans
were killed and 90 wounded, among the
later being two captains, Reynaldo
Aportel and Aurelio, both of the 18th
regiment. Forty Yaquis were killed,
and the number of wounded is known
to have been heavy.
The 1aquis retrated into the jungle
10 the southwestward, and We're fol-
lowed by General Torres, who over
took them again at point about two
miles below Potam. The Indians num-
bered about 700, while the generals
command was about 1000 strong. The
battle was fought on Aug. 10, and the
Mexicans had two men killed and 10
wounded. Twenty dead Yaquis were
found in the holes from which they
fought.
Loretto Villa, one of the chiefs who
led the Yaquis in their 10 years war
against the government, and who
knows every inch of the river jungles,
is now fighting with the Mexican army.
He led the troops through heath and
they were enabled to make a rear at
tack, badly worsting the Indians in the
fight.
When the general entered the church
at Vicam shortly after taking possess
sion, he found evidences indicating that

before. The candles on the altar were
burning and in their living rooms
everything was in order and dinner
cooking on the fire place. In all their
warfare the Yaquis have never been
known to have killed priest, who are
always well treated and protected by
the religious tribe
The excessive heat is something
awful along the river country. Dur
ing the march of 200 men of the 18th
regiment from Batamodal station to

stroke and six prostratons, and two
deaths among them when they reached

Special Dispatch to the Standard.

Special Dispatch TO the Standard
Helena. Aug. 22.-The state board of
equalization has decided to make some
changes in the assessments as reported
by the different county boards of equal
ization. Although the board is con-
fronted by the decision of the supreme
court to the effect that it cannot make
an increase in one county without a
corresponding reduction in another, the
board has concluded that the assess
ments are so disproportionate that it
must correct them.
1t is understood that some rather
radical changes will be made. notably
in the assessment of sheep and cattle
and in farming lands. The proposed
action of the board will, no doubt, raise
something of a howl among the inter-
ests affected and result in litigation.
The board hopes that the matter can he
gotten before the supreme court again.
in the hope that the decision of two
years ago can be modified. 1t is eX-
pected that the matter will get into the
courts by some county clerk institutng
proceedings to prevent the state board
from changing the equaliZed figures of
the county board with which he is con-
nected
The board feels that if it Obeys the
terms of the constitution it cannot af-
ford to allow the inequalities in the as
sessment to stand, despite the famous
decision of the ts"urt. The result of
the expected action of the board will.
it is understood, increase the total as
sessment of the state million or more.

ONE woMAN's OCCUPATION.
She Has 10000 Frogs on Her California
Ranch.

At Siege, a little station about 20
miles from San francisco. a frog ranch
is located, named after the first owner
of the land roundabout. The Siege
ranch extends from the bay shore up
to the ridge of the coast range Of
mountains, which incloses both shores
Of San Francisco bay. In the lower
portions of the ranch a great number
of springs gush out of the soil in copi-
GUS volumes. 1t was the springs that
determined the first location of the
ranch. The site, overlooking an ex-
pansive view of the beautiful bay, was
capable of vast improvement. A dozen
acres, inclosing the springs, were sur
rounded with hedges of cypress. The
grounds We're laid out with taste end
soon presented the rare beauty inc
dent to the profuse vegetation of a
semi-tropical climate. Three ponds were
formed by combining the waters Of the
flowing springs. some acres in extent,
and stocked with frogs. A fence high
enough to prevent the escape of the in
mates surrounded each, and the ponds
were filled with aquatic plants and
mosses Then hundreds of frogs were
placed in the ponds. and from the orig
inal stock the increase has been so
great that, though thousands are sent
to market yearly, the Withdrawals have
no sensible effect upon the vast num-
bers remaining. Frog ranching is not
unlike cattle raising. There are i, ,,

young ones separate from the full
grown, which are cannihals of the first
rank and eat all which are not able to

are considered ripe for the market,

those that are year or two younger.
A frogs life is IL years. There are
some of that age at Siege. They are cf

In California, as in colder climates,
