All Against EDpsre.

1t was finely in keeping with the spirit
which animated the Kansas City con-
vention that the Silver Republicans
should have promptly followed the
Democratic lead and nominated Bryan
for President and Stevenson for Vice
President of the Uuited States.
1t is probable also that the Populists
will within short time withdraw
Towne as their vice-presidential candi-
date-or, rather, that Mr.. Towne him
self will resign from the ticket-and that
Stevenson will be named in Towne's
place. II this should be done, there
would be presented for the first time in
American history the spectacle Of three
political parties entering . national
campaign with the same national ticket.
The spirit which makes this remark
able occurrence likely is the American
spirit which demands, FIRST and fore
most, the preservation OF American
principles and institutions Mr.. McKin-
ley's imperial policy has so seriously
endanc cred the Republic that there can
wisely be no tenporizing with the issue
OF Imperialism. 1t il indeed s'the para
mount issue OF the campaign" rs the
ringing declaration in the Democratic
national platform proclaims. Il must
be met now. 1t must be settled nov for
good and all. Other questions must be
put aside until this great question, upon
whose proper settlement the safety and
very existence Of the Republic depend,
is disposed Of.
The same Americanism Of spirit
which leads the Democrats, the Popu-
lists and the Silver Republicans to stand
together will lead the anti-imperialist
Republicans to place . presidential
ticket in the field. The many Republi-
cans who have openly revolted agxinst
Mr.. McKiniey's policy Of Empire cannot
consistently vote to keep him in Office
and strengthen his hands for the carry
ing out Of that policy. They are not
willing to 20 the length Of voting for 4
Democrat. but they will be glad to voice
their protest against imperialism BY
voting for an anti-imperixlist Republic
can ticket The duty which they see
confronting them is an imperative
American duty.-Republic.

Our National Platserm.

The national platform adopted by the
Democrats at Kansas City gives out no
uncertain sound. he who runs NAV
read and read intelligently. There are
no expressions Of doubtful construction
mo subtifuges and no words of hidden
meaning. What it says is told plainly
and 10 plain English.
On the silver question 1t calls for the
immediate restoration OF the free and
unlimited coinage of silver and gold at
the present legal ratio OF 10 to l. II
denounces imperialism, the Mckinley
Philippine policy and declares that
Filipinos cannot be citizens without en-
dangering our civilization and cannot
be subjects without imperillino orr
form OF government. 1t condemns our
treatment OfCnba and the Porto Ricans.
II 10 plain master piece Of nee hanism

The Democrats in convention assem-
bled st PocAtello will have great OBJ
portunity. 1t win be in their power to
build a platform strong in every plank
and TO control the nomination Of . ticket
that will win by q safe majority.
In the past the Democrats have been
charged with being unfair and unjust
TO their allies, but this year they must
be magnanimous. they must be just and
they must fulfill every pledge and prom
i,e made TO allies Magnanimity, fair
ness and honesty will secure q union
and close union will mean victory.
At Pocatello the Democrats will be
the strongest party. but their strength
should not make them proud and hargh-
~ neither insolent nor dictatorial. In
counting uniol with the other reform
forces il behooyes them to deal gently
with the Silver Republicans and Popu-
lists as the strong should deal with the
weak. A close union thus obtained and
fair distribution OF the Offices and the
nomination of U. s. Senator will give
them victory tina. will be remember
ed far into the years Of the approaching
century.

ABDUCTED AND ROBBED
Woman Seized on Chicago
Streets and Thrust Into
a Cab.

Chicago, Jan 12-Mrs. John Corse of
239 Dearborn street was seized by rob-
bers shortly after midnight at Chest
nut street near North Clark street,
thrust into cab and afterward robbed
of diamonds valued at $500. She was
brutaIly beaten, her hands lacerated
and her face bruised. She was so badly
hurt and so completely overcome that
she is almost Frustrated.
Mrs. Corse, who is 26 years of age,
came to Chicago recently from Cali
fornia for the purpose of studying elo-
cution. She secured rooms at the house
in Dearborn avenue and has been pur-
suing her studies in the Schiller build
ing. Wednesday evening she attended
an entertainment on the West side re-
turning to her apartments about mid
night. She was feeling i'll and went to
a drug store about two blocks from
where she lived This store however
was closed and Mrs. Corse started for
home. She had not proceeded half a
block homeward when according to the
story told by the police, she was seized
from behind by two men who drove up
in a cab. They thrust her into the We
hicle, sitting her cries and drove away
at rapid gate.
The cab was driven to a resort near
Clark and Division streets The wo-
man was forced to enter the building
and being too i'll and frightened to
make an cutlery she was partly carried
and partly dragged. Here an effort was
made to secure the diamonds she had
worn to the entertainment IN the even
ing and which she still had on. The
gems were set in a brooch.
The brooch was secured but the rings
were tight and could not easily be re-
moved from the fingers. The robbers
| then procured a pair of pinchers and
| wrenched the diamonds from their set
| ting While this was going Mrs. Corse
resisted as best she could, but found her
self almost powerless in the grasp of the
men. After the robbery she was again
put in the cab and in response to her
| pleadings she was taken to her boarding
place in Dearborn avenue
The robbery was reported to the police
| The story was regarded as a strange one
| by the officers but the victim repeated her
| assertions. and showed her laeerated
hands and the rings with the empty set
tings to prove her statements. Detec-
| tives were detailed on the case.
The only theory that would fit the case
| is that the diamonds worn by Mrs. Corse
| were exposed to view while she was try
4 ing to get into the drug store in North
Clark street and that Sc was followed
| by the men in the cab. The Chicago ave-
| nue. police are puzzled over the affair
