Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1900-07-12

The representatives of the Democratic
party, assembled in Convention at Kansas
City last week, performed the sacred duty
imposed upon them, encouraging not only
to the great party they represented, bat TO
millions of true Americans not yet fully
allied Herewith.
In the selection of the leading candidate
lin the nomination of MILAN JEN
NINGs BRYAN-they but registered the
decree of the Democracy of every State
bat in the choice of ADLAI E. STEVENSON
for Vice President they linked the Victori-
Gus Democracy of 1892 with the revived
and aggressive Democracy of 1900. and
formed a Presidential team mated in honor,
honesty and devoted to the welfare Of the
American Republic.
The platform, adopted by unanimous
vote amidst the most tremendous and con-
tinued demonstration of enthusiasm ever
witnessed by any citizen alive to day, is
the clearest, ablest, strongest exposition of
issues presented by any political party in
the memory of this generation
1t contains not weak sentence or am
biguous phrase.
Its declarations ring with vigorous
Americanism
There is no hating, no apologies. No
evasion, no straddIing in all IFS assertion OF
principles.
From the plank on Imperialism to the
one demanding the repeal of the war taxes
the evil conditions inf eted on the people
by The Republican party are sounded with
out false note. II enunciates the eterna
principles on which the government il
builded and sounds warning TO all citi
zeus that the Republican purpose of build
ing an empire in Asia is imperiliDg ths
existence of the Republic in America.
It denounces the monster of monopoly
which, under the name Of trusts, has fat
tened through Republican legislation and
failure to execute the laws. upon the neces-
stiles of the people, until ii is stranglins
competition, reducing the business of the
country to commercial oligarchy, and thu
government of the nation to a politica
system that is being operated by the party
in power to minister to corporate greed
aud demands that the laws against trusts
be vigorously executed and more stringent
enactments against the evil placed upor
the statute books
It brands militarism as the vicious
instrument of conquest, force, blOodshed
and menace Of civil liberty; exposes the
crime against the Constitution, the q 4g and
the national honor in the coloniz ition o.
Porto Rico, imposing upon its people taxa
tion without representation.
The text of the platform is stronger thar
any words Of Ours can make it. 1t breathei
a lofty courage, pure patriotism and 81
intense Americaniem that should give hope
and fill with enthusiasm every man thi:
broad land over who loves liberty and
desires equality of opportunity for every
citizen, be be rich or poor, high or low
humble or honored, that stands beneath
the American flag and believes in the
grand and noble and uplifting creed il
symbolizes.
It is broad enough for all Americans who
desire their government to be replaced
upon the foundations upon which its
trainers builded it to stand 1t is tails
man of success It is presage OF victory
It is a bow of promise set in the skies Of
November.

Poison In Potatoes.


Potatoes contain poison known
az solanin," says the Sanitary Home.
Fargo, N. D. New potatoes contain
comparatively little Of this poison un-
less they grow about the surface OF
the ground and have green skin,
when they are generally known to be
poisonous. 1t is not, however, gener-
ally known that old potatoes contain
much more Of this poisonous principle
-soianin-and many cases Of serious
poisoning have occurred in late sum-
mer, when old potatoes are used. In
1892 and 1893. there was almost whole
sale poisoning among the troops OF
the German army. The symptoms
were frontal headache, collie, ,diarrhoea.
vomiting, weakness, and slight stupor,
and in some cases dilatation of the
pupils. Meyer Investigated the case
and found in old potatoes, kept in
damp place, and beginning to sprout,
twenty-four times as much solanin as
in new potatoes. When using old po-
tatoes in June and July, it will be we'll
to keep this fact in mind"

Coal Ashes as a Fertilizer

Coal ashes are never used as fer
tilizer, but they are often spread on
land to get rid Of them as a waste
product. They make excellent hard.
firm, dry paths around house or In
a garden, and when so used they have
been found to greatly encourage the
growth Of grass and weeds, so that this
experience seoms to have encouraged
the belief that they are useful. But
as the ashes Of soft coal are worth
only forty cents ton, and those OF
hard coal sixteen cents, It Is evidently
not q profitable business to gather
them from a distance The homemade
ashes may be used, to get rid of them,
and if spread on grass land they have
showed that they possess some value
beyond what their actual analysis
seems to indicate. Ashes certainly do
not create weeds for this word means
to make something OF nothing. They
do not encourage them any more than
other plants. What will make weeds
grow will make useful plants grow
equally

MYSTERY TO THE BLIND.

Persons Born sightlsss Have No Ao-
curnte Conception Of Sight.
What a profound mystery invests
all the operations Of our senses!" said
a college professor of this city. Il
was talking, the other day, with a very
Intelligent blind man. He had been
blind from birth, but had received an
excellent education, and was fully as
we'll informed as the average person
one meets in cultured circles, He
spoke freely Of his infirmity. and final
ly l asked him whether he had ever
succeeded in forming clear mental
conception of the sense Of sight. lie
replied frankly that he had not. and
then he asked me several very curious
questions. The idea OF color. he said.
was a great puzzle to him, and he had
never been able to obtain the slightest
clew to what was meant when one
said, for instance, that one thing was
red and another thing was blue. Your
color Impressions are absolutely sta
tionary. are they not?' he asked. The
question startled me, 1t was so strange.
Now, what could possibly have been
in his mind? One would infer that
he associated color with some sort OF
movement; yet, when I asked him to
explain he couldn't do 1t. He soon lost
himself in words, sighed, and gave II
up. He understood, as nearly as
could gather, that the sense OF sight
somehow furnished us with informa-
ton as to the size, shape and general
character of surrounding objects, but
am satisfied. from his questions,that

He was unable tc understand how'a
Wnoie scene could be taken in at once.
He could distinguish B fiat on a vio-
lin, he said. but suppose the whole
surrounding country was full OF vio-
Inns, all playing different airs? That
seemed to him good apology for the
various things in a landscape. l soon
realized that explanation on either side
was hopeless. There was barrier OF
