Stltut1OnS.
We are opposed to the estab-
lishment of large standing
army in time of peace as men
ace to free institutions.
We congratulate the territory
of New Mexico in securing thro'
the efforts of the Hon. H. B.
FERGUSON, our last democratic
delegate to congress, large tracts
of land to the territory for the
benefit of the various educational
and charitable institutions there
of; and also for securing, on be-
half of the public schools of the
territory the right to lease the
public school lands for the bene-
fit of our public school system,
and we pledge the nominee of
this convention to further efforts
in this behalf. We commend the
method inaugurated by that law
of leasing the school lands and
not selling them, wereby they
will be reserved from the grasp
of spectators and remain a source
of revenue for public education.
We are directly opposed to the
leasing of the public domain by
the federal government, and we
charge that the similar declara-
tion contained in the republican
territorial platform is hypocriti-
cal because pending bills in con-
grcss favoring such leasing, are
republican in origin and sup
port.
We condemn the land commits
sion of the territory for its selec-
tion and sale of large and valu.
able tracts of timber land at in.
adequate prices to favored specu.
lators and corporations, and cal
upon the secretary of the interior
to exercise close scrutiny of these
transactions.
We are unalterable opposed to
the Stephens bill. We further
condemn the antagonistit atti
tude of the Mckinley administers
tion toward the irrigation in
terests of this territory, We de
precate as wholly unwarrantet
the pernicious litigation that ha.
for four years, despite five de
cisions against the government
prevented the impounding of tn,
flood waters of the Rio Grande
at Elephant Butte, for the irri
CATION of the farming lands o
the Rio Grandc valley, and thu
persistent efforts of the Unitet
States attorney of New Mexico
in thus discouraging cnterpris,
and driving capital from the ter
ritory.
On the other hand, we earnest
, ly favor the construction of a res
ervoir and irrigation system b,
the general government, whereof,
the arid public lands of the ives
, may be brought, as far as posi-
, bic, under irrigation and dispose
of to actual settlers, without il
any way discouraging enter
prise.
t We condemn the Mckinley ad
ministration for its appointment
of an incompetent governor o
, for New Mexico, whose disregar
t for the law and vicious partisan
: ship has brought disgrace upo

We, the representatives OF the
democratic party of the territory
of New Mexico, in convention as
sembled, do hereby reaffirm our
faith in and allegiance to the
principles enunciated in the De-
claration of Independence and
the platform of principles adopted
by the national convention of the
democratic party, at Kansas City,
Missouri, and hereby declare our
admiration for and confidence in
our stand ard bearers, the Hon
William Jennings Bryan and
Adlai E. Stevenson.
We condemn the policy of the
present national administration,
which involves alliances defen-
sive and offensive, with sovereign
powers, as being contrary to the
spirit of the constitution, the
sentiment of the American peo-
pc and the letter of the Declara-
tion of Independence. We de-
nounce the tendency of the pres
ent republican administration of
the nation to exceed the limita-
tions of the federal constitution,
and its evident proneness to dis
regard and diScOuntenance the
principles of human liberty set
forth in the Declaration of Inde-
pendcnce; and we behold with
alarm the plain attempt by re-
publican president to ignore the
organic law of the nation as in
consistent with the natural and
legitimate growth and develop
ment of the country at home,
national rights abroad, and the
fulfillment of the republics des-
tiny.
We adhere to the ancient doc
trine of the democratic party de-
manding equal rights to all and
special privileges to none; and
we condemn the republican party
for its iniquitous tariff legisla-
ton, which has fostered and en-
couraged trusts, and denOuncc
the declarations made by them
in their recent platform against
trusts as the sheerest hypocrisy,
while relying upon them and
their organizers for immense con-
tributions to their corruption
fund. We likewise denounce the
national republican administra'
tion for its utter failure to en-
force the laws now upon the
statute book for the suppression
of trusts.
We denounce the hypocritica
pretense of the republican party
of New Mexcco in favor of pro
lection, while it declares its ad
herence to the gold standard
which has closed the valuable
silver mines of New Mexico, ant
deprived the miners of an oppor
tunity of profitable employment
and has thereby driven thousands
of industrious citizens from tn,
territory and depopulated pros
porous mining camps.
We condemn the republican
administration for its attemp
tyranically and unjustly to max,
the Filipinos subjects of thC
United States; and we denounc'
any form of colonial governmen
as foreign to the spirit of our in

RUINED BRATToN's HOME.
Rock Hill Mystery Solved Unfaithful
Wife Makes a Confession.

Rock HILL, S. c., Sept. 2s.-The mys-
FERROUS assassination of Harry A. Brown.
who was shot in his bed here week
ago, has been cleared.
John S. Bratton makes the statement
that he killed Brown because he had
ruined his home. Paul Bratton accom-
panied his brother to Rock Hill, but
says he took no hand in the shooting.
Mrs. Brown, widow of the dead man,
corroborates Bratton' s statemeat SO Tar
as the devotion Of her husband co Mrs.
Bratton is concerned. She met the girl
when she was going to Winthrop cor
lege, she says, and both her husband
and herself visited her at Yorkville. On
one of his trips to Yorkville, without
his wife, Brown was injured. He was
taken to Bratton's house and nursed to
health. 1t was then, says Mrs. Brown.
that the fatal attachment ripened.
Mrs. Bratton confessed to her hus-
band She then wrote Brown to elope
with her and save both their lives. BY
the next mail she begged him to fly. He
did not heed the warning and the same
night was killed in his own house.

AMERICAN BAGGAGE SYSTEM
Yankee Laundrymen to Invade the

Yankee Laundrymen to Invade the
British Empire.
LONDON, Sept 22.--The controversy
on the relative merits Of the British and
American Baggage systems have been
reviewing complaints Of ns-Atlantic
visitors who have lost their trunks in
England. These in turn have called
forth protests against the adoption OF
the check system. An Englishman who
has visited America writes to The Pail
Mall Gazette giving details of the
troubles which he experienced through
the loss of his checks, the delay and the
alleged impossibility of obtaining com-
pensation, declaring the Americans to
tolerate any system, however oomph-
Gated, so long as it has the appearance
of business like.
1t is possible that the controversy may
accelerate the adoption of some form of
the American system. for partly through
ignorance and partly through the de-
fects of the English system, no end OF
trouble and expense is undergone by
the thousands who yearly cross the At
lantic through loss OF baggage.
Another American innovation viii

of $50 laundries, run by American en-
ployes and with American money.

Lord Llandaff's Grievances.

LONDON, SPIT. 90. Lord LANDAU Is
nursing a curious grievance. The adj
vertisement columns recently contained
the announcement of the birth of q
child to Countess LANDAU. AZ Lord
LANDAU Is bachelor (he was born in
1926, and was home secretary from 1885
to 1899, the announcements caused him
some annoyance and mystification,
which was only explained by the fact
that child was born to the wife or
man named Mathew, who two years
ago announced his intention of assum-
ing the title of Earl LANDAU. This an
nouncement appears to be his only quail
ification of the peerage.

QUIET THE LEHIoH REGION
Special Officers Have the Situation
Well In Hand.

Well In Hand.
HAzELToN, Pa, Sept. 22.-Calmness
prevails throughout the Lehigh region.
No disturbances of any moment were
reported in any part of the district.
There is still, however, a tense feeling
in the public mind.
The sending of troops to Shenandoah,
% miles from here, is generally regarded
as bringing matters to crisis and the
situation here is, therefore, somewhat
relieved. Armed deputies are distribu-
ted n ear most Of the collieries and along
several of the public roads leading to
mining property. There was the usual
number Of strikers out early this morn
ing, trying to persuade workers not to
go into the mines, but they did not meet
with much success. Strikers were care
full not to carry their persuasion to the
point Of intimidation, thus avoiding a
conflict with the deputies.
The Markle mines at Jeddo and Oak
dale are working with an increased
force. There is a considerable number
of watchmen on the company's property
and the shertff's deputies are within
easy reach. Mr.. Markle says he is de-
termined to give all the men in his en-
ploy who desire to work chance to do
SO, and adds that he will protect them if
it takes the entire military force of
Pennsylvania to accomplish it.
There was danger Of trouble at Sandy
Run early this morning. One hundred
of the men from Freeland went there at
8 o'clock to stop the men at the Ken-
merer colliery from going to work.
There was parley near the colliery
and the strikers agreed to let the men
work on the promise that they will not
return to the mines Monday.
The men and women of McAdoo were
again on the march early this morning.
At O'Clock $50 strikers from Anderson,
Evansville and McAdoo and go women
of the latter place started for Coleraine,
where an early morning mass meeting
was held.
