DEMOCRACY IS
FOR THE MASSES
Altgeld, Tarvin and Lentz Arouse
the Enthusiasm of the Demo-
Gratis of New York City.
Cooper Union Crowded.

New York, Sept. 4.-The Chicago plat
form democrats held meeting tonight
in Cooper Union, addressed by ex-Gov-
ernor Altgeld of Illinois, Judge James
p. Tarvin of Covington, KY, and Con-
gresham Lentz of Ohio. Each one of
them declared for the denomination of
William ]. Bryan and against the pol
icy of President Mckinley in the Phil
ippines. Cooper Union was crowded to
its utmost capacity with an appreciative
audience.
Judge Tarvin, the first speaker, had
to pause many times on account of the
enthusiastic applause. In the course
of his speech he said:
The democratic party as organized
to-day is in line with the principles of
the Chicago platform. AS long as it re-
mains in that position the laborer and
the producer ought to support it; when
1t drops from that position the laborer
and the producer ought to oppose it.
Il believe the democratic organiza-
ton of the nation-not of this city,
stands to-day as the representative of
laborers and producers. / believe it will
stand in 1900 and that we will have
then the same battle as in 1896 and I'M
der the same leader"
AT the conclusion of Judge Tarvins
speech resolutions were read indorsing
the whole Chicago platform and each
of it's specific details, recognizing Will
lam J. Bryan as the leader of the de-
mocracy and the exponent of the prin-
ciples contained in the Chicago plat
form and pledging the earnest efforts
and endeavors of those present to elect
him to the presidency of the United
States in 1900: declaring the war
against the Philippines is a grossly i'm
moral assault on American principles
of government and a brutal attempt to
crush a weak people who are bravely
contending for the exercise of the nat
ural and God-given rights of self-gov
eminent, condemning the action of
President Mckinley in the Philippines
and calling upon all lovers of liberty to
do their utmost to preserve the spirit of
freedom that inspired the fathers of the
country and which is being threatened
by the un-American desire for foreign
contest; declaring in opposition to en-
tering into alliances with foreign king
doms and empires; holding that all
trusts are destructive Of industrial
and individual liberty; favoring the
abolition of all special privileges and
governmental ownership and operation
of all monopolies; recognizing that the
liberty of the American people is being
destroyed and urging the nomination
and election of William ]. Bryan, that
the peoples government shall not per-
ish from the earth.
The resolutions were enthusiastically
adopted.
In introducing John P. Altgeld the
chairman compared him to the late
Henry George as man with the cour-
age of his convictions, man who had
the courage to pardon the alleged an
archists of Chicago despite the knowl-
edge of the unpopularity of his act.
Former Governor Altgeld's reception
was fiattering. AS soon as the cheers
had subsidized Mr.. Altgeld stepped to the
front of the platform.

Bombay Hospital for Animals.
From the Nineteenth Century.

from the nineteenth Century.
It is a large place, with many low
buildings, one Of which was pointed out
to me as the Sparrow house. Among
the inmates of the hospital at the time
of my visit were cattle, dogs, kittens,
jackals, goats, poultry, gulls and mon
keys. Any sick or injured animal is
taken there and fed and preserved. AS
to the extent and the character of the
medical attendance 1 cannot speak, and
seemed that the arrangements for the
comfort of the patients were capable
of improvement. But no doubt in some
ways an immense deal of suffering is
saved by this benevolent institution,
which takes US back to the days of
the great Buddhist King Osoka, more
than 1000 years ago, whose tender
thought for the welfare of both men
and animals is so marked in his stone
cut edicts. Besides animals that are
sick and injured, those whose life is
threatened are taken to the hospital A
pious Jain will buy off animals about
to be killed and send them to this in
stitution. where they are carefully pre-
served, and never by any chance parted
with for money. In Benares a sort of
hospital for cows has been started by
Rajah Sivaprasad himself.
Il suppose" l said, that a good Jain
would not think of engaging in field
sports?"
"Never!" replied the rajah. Neither
a good Jain nor a bad one. He would
be made an outcast if he did. In my
own house not even snakes are killed,
but only driven away"
Are the jams always vegetarians? %
Yes, always. And, more than that,
we endeavor to avoid even green vege-
tables, under the idea that cutting the
plant may hurt it. Our diet, as far as
possible, is dry vegetable food. We
would not needlessly pick a leaf from
a tree lest the tree should possibly feel
pain"

NO PARADE.
New York Labor Unions Will Help Strik-
ers Instead.

ers Instead.
New York, Sept. 4-Labor day was
favored with a bright sun and brisk
breeze and thousands took advantage
of the fine weather to enjoy a days
outing. Business was practically stop
ped. In addition to the exchanges and
banks, all the large department stores
were closed. Flags were flying from all
public buildings and in some instances
there was lavish display of bunting.
Although there was no united parade
of labor organizations, there were les
ser parades all over the city. The CEN
trail federated unions concluded to omit
the usual Labor day parade because so
many workingmen, including the tail
ors and those in the building trades,
are not employed. 1t costs $4,000 to
81 900 to hold a parade and this sum, it
wa sthought, could better be used in
helping out the unemployed and those
on strikes. In place of a parade the
combined unions held a picnic at
Suffers Westchester park, where there
were various contests for prizes, fol-
lowed by speech making.
Hundreds of workingmen and others
belonging to single tax and labor Or

people passed through the gates; the
grand stand was packed and damned
with men, women and children, and
people crowded all around it. Fully
$1,000 was taken in at the ticket sellers
window. In spite of the successful ap-
pearance of the preliminary stages of
the affair, Richie had a feeling or pre-
sentiment that it would not end that
way, and to be prepared for a possible
contingency he provided himself with a
horse, and the same premonition that
caused him to bring horse to the race
track caused him to select one that was
fleet of foot. and he tied him behind
the ticket office.
The crowd began to get impatient and
called for the fight to begin. The bear
was brought into the arena and was
received with cheers. Bruin walked
around the enclosure and then laid
down in a corner. Next the bull was
brought in and he also took a walk
around and, to the disgust of the crowd
he laid down a short distance away
from the bear and neither showed the
least concern for the other or evidence
of intention to fight Something had
to be done to stir them up. Men were
sent in to prod them. but 1t had no ef-
feet and finally the bear was tied to
one of the bulls hind legs, and after
they had pulled each other around for
while they both became fighting mad.
They broke the rope which bound them
together and the bull made a rush for
the bear; the bear ran toward the
grand stand ard was near the wire
fence when the bull caught him on his
horns and tossed him clear over the
fence and among the spectators.
In an instant the crowd in the grand
stand was thrown into a frightful panic
At the back of the grand stand was an
open space, and toward that everybody
made rush and Aell through it to the
ground until they we're piled up 10 feet
deep.
Where is he? Where is he?" cried
hundred men. Get a rope!"
He" was Richie, and Richie knew
that his presentiment of evil had come
true. He did not stop to get his share
of the gate receipts, but the moment he
heard the first angry yell from the
crowd he jumped upon the horse he had
so fortunately kept in readiness and
proceeded to pat distance between HIM
self and the scene of the bull and bear
fight, and he did not stop until he had
reached Del Monte. He sent the horse
back to its owner in Alamoosa and af-
terward, upon inquiry. learned that
while a number Of people had been
badly injured, no one was killed but to
this day he never ventured to return to
that town.
