To the Editor of The Globe.
What is all this f1inging at Bryan for?
Is any man Democrat who repudiates
his party platform? Are the Silver Re-
pubIicans still loyal members of the
Republican party, or are they to be
classed with the party whose principles
and platform they have espoused?
Minnesota Democrats believe in the
Chicago platform, until there is another
authoritative utterance by d legalized
national assembly to declare something
to supcrsede 1t. The Democratic party
of today has no other rule of faith to
follow than the Chicago platform, and
all the Belmonts and other lesser lights.

in Minnesota, must be classed where
they belong-with the Republicans.
AS formed now, there is no place for
such in the Democratic party, except to

with the meekness properly belonging
to such a position.
There Is such thing, really, as a
Gold Democrat any more than there is
a Silver Republican. Both classes are
masquerading under false colors for a
very flimsy excuse. Neither can get
back into the old parties without a proc
ess of repentance and humiliation,
which is the part that every sinner must
play to be fully forgiven. The Demo-
Gratis will probably add some anti-ex-

THE NEW ARMY RATION.

The army ration is to be revised. Init
nations have reached the public from
time to time that the soldiers in Cuba
and Porto Rico did not find their food
entirely satisfactory, and this complaint
has finally penetrated the fountain head
of authority with the result that there
is to be a radical reform. AS matter
Of fact meat is too expensive a medium
for conveying boracic acid to soldiers
ANYWAY. 1t may be we'll enough to pack
about borax and the other essential
chemicals of the existing ration to the
troops on quarters of refrigerated peer,
so long as the men are chartered IN nome
camps. but when they are on foreign
dutv the method is uselessly expensive
The ideal emergency or travelling ra-
ton, of course would be simply pack

all the borax needed to sustain life IN

and, as they 90 not like their chemicals
in a crude state, some attention must
be paid to the refnements of gastron-
omy Frozen beef, it has been shown,
is not the best conveyor. The meat has
an unpleasant flavor and it's odor de-
tracts from the enjoyment of a dainty
luncheon of boracic or salicylic acid
Boiled strips of gristle are perhaps bet
ter. but for this method expensive cans
and labels are needed, and even after
due precaution the stuff is apt to spoil
and injure the delicate flavor of the en-
balming fluid. The problem, in fact, Is
most perplexing one. The whole clumsy
method of solid mediums might be done
away with and the acids given in con-
centrated form in small bottles or cap
sules, but habit stands in the way of this.
Soldiers insist upon something that looks
like food. Possibly the most satisfactory
method will be to employ clean. white
sponges,' which can be saturated with
those chemicals which experience has
shown to be best adapted to sustain life
while in camp. These packed IN neat but
