An Attrnctiye nooIsIet.

One of the most attractive bits OF rail-
road advertising seen in long time Is
the booklet entitled "Begues and New
Orleans Cookery" which has Just been
issued by the southern Pacific company.
AS its name indicates the booklet has to
do with New Orleans restaurant, the
fame OF which Is almost world wide, and
the subject is handled In an unusually
able and interesting manner by Mr.. II. NJ.
Mayo chief OF the literary department OF
the Southern Pacific. Mi. Mayos long
residence in the Crescent City and the
Information he gained during his connec-
ton with the daily papers there have emil
nently fitted him for the handling of such
matter, aud 1t Is not at all surprising
that he should have attained such artistic
and wholly satisfactory results. To the
fortunate mortal who has breaktastei al
this most picturesque OF New Orleans in
stitutions the booklet will be unusually
interesting.

Think II Not Fena,blc.

Local traffic men are saying very little
for publication regarding the commission $
proposition to make certain changes in
the system of ratio making now obtaining
in Texas. mention of which matter was
first made in The Post of Friday morning.
Those who express any opinion In the
premises, however, are inclined TO think
that the plan to redistrict the state or.
in other words, create certain zones In
common point territory, is not feasible
and that, il carried out, 1t will result 10
an endless amount OF trouble for eve y
one concerned. The charge IS made that
the consummation OF such a plan would
really have the effect Of Interfering with
Interstate rates, over which, Of course,
the commission has no jurisdiction. and
that the creation of the proposed zones
or districts would result in bringing out
even moro complaints than are at present
being made. The meeting TO be held ic
Austin on the Gath instant will be watched
with considerable amount OF interest

The dishonest paltering with

that they are protected by the

We pledge the democratic

nv FINANCIAL POLICY. H
We affirm and endorse the
principles Of the national Demo
cratic platform adopted in 1896 in
Chicago, and we reiterate the de-
mand Of that platform for an
American financial system made
by the American people for thom-

Kansas city.

"We, the representatives OF
the democratic party OF the
United States, assembled in nat
ional convention on the anniver-
sary Of the adoption Of the Dec
laration Of independence, do re-
affirm our faith in that immortal
proclamation of the constitution,
framed in harmony Herewith by
the fathers Of the republic.
We hold, with the United
States supreme court, that the
declaration Of Independence is
the spirit of our government, OF
which the constitution is the form
and letter,
We declare again that all gov
ernments instituted among men
derive their just powers from the
consent of the governed; that
any governm ent not based upon
tho consent of the governed is a
tyranny, and that to impose upon
any people a government Of force
is to substitute the methodssof
imperialism for those of a repub-
lie, ,aW =
We hold that the constitution
follows the flag, and denounce
the doctrine that an executive or
congress, deriving their existence
and powers from the constitution,
can exercise lawful authority be-
yond it or in violation Of it.
We hold that no nation can
long endure half republic and
half empire, and we warn the
American people that imperial
ism abroad will lead quickly and
surely to despotism at home. W
THE PORTO RICO ACT.
Believing in these principles,
we denounce the porto Rico law
enacted by republican congress
against the protest and opposi-
ton Of the democratic minority,
as bold and open violation Of
! the nations organic law and a
flagrant breach Of the national
good faith. 1t imposes upon the
people of Porto Rico a govern
ment without their consent and
taxation without representation.
1t dishonors the American people
by repudiating a solemn pledge
made in their behalf by the COM
manding general Of our army,
which the Porto Ricans welcomed
to a peaceful and unresisted oc-
cupation Of their land,
FREEDOM or CUBA.
We demand the prompt and
honest (ullillment Of our pledges
to the Cuban people and the
world that the United States has
no disposition or intention to ex-
ercise sovereig ignty, jurisdiction or
control over the island Of Cuba,
exception it's paoiilcation. The
war ended nearly two years ago.
Profound peace reigns all over
the islaad, and still tho adminis-
tration keeps the government Of
tho island from its people, while
Republican earpetbag officials
plunder It's. revenues and exploit
the colonial theory TO tho dis
grace Of the American people.
PHILIPPINE POLICY.
We condemn and denounco the
Philippine policy Of tho present
administration. II has involved
The republic unnecessarily in war,
sacrificed the lives Of many Of our
noble sons and placed the United
