An old fashioned silver watch was lost

Bryan and Stevenson Nominated.
The Kansas City convention has
nominated VIM. ]. Bryan for presi-
dent and Adlai e. Stevenson for vice
president. Press reports from the
convention tell Us that it was one
Of the most enthusiastic political
gatherings ever held in this country.
1t was very harmonious throughout,
indicating that perfect unity will
prevail in the campaign. The plat
form is an unequivocal declaration
against imperialism, militarism and
trusts. The principles enunciated
IN the Chicago platform are in
dorsed. with a specific declaration
for the free coinage of silver.
It is such a platform that will ap-
peal to the patriotism of the Ameri-
can people. 1t is manly, straight
forward and sincere.

An Octopus Indeed

An Octopus Indeed.
Springfield (Mass) News.
When the word ''octopus" was
first applied to the trusts it was in
tended to describe their great vora-
ciousness and their advantages over
separate concerns IN being able to
suck the life blood of the people,
since the octopus of natural history
has a double row of suckers on
each side of its feet. But as the
beast continues to evolve it devel-
ops jrstifications for the title which
were not originally thought of.
Within the past week it has been
revealed how terrific is the power of
the trust magnate over the financial
market. From what little clique
of inside officials of the steel trust
we're able to do with its stocks by
shutting down a few mills, and ex-
planning that overproduction was
the cause, almost precipitatiLg a
national panic. we can see all too
clearly how completely at the mercy
of the trusts is the whole system of
banking, exchange and business.
They can raise or lower every listed
stock, force the loan rate of money
up to the prohibition point or de-
press it, shake the country from end
to end, or claim 1t at will. We have
fostered a creature until i: domi-
mates the whole nation, which can
only tremblingly await It's will.
But another foot of this trust &C.
topus rests ON the government.
Congress dares not but obey its be-
hests, and the All minis ration is its
servant. I.cgisla lures fear to breathe
without permission. When the mex,
national election comes the voters
will be bought up by the millions OF
intimidated by those who are
brought up, int. doing the trust
will, unless courage and integ-
rity are exhibited beyond ANYTHING
in experience. The trust and the
liberty of the American people can
not exist together. One or the
other must 60 down.

Newspaper correspondents at
Kansas City do not seem to be
pleased with the prospects. 1t will
not be smooth-sailing, cut-and-
dried affair, and they are disposed
to critic,se the negligence of the
managers. They speak with en-
thusiasm of the smooth working OF
the Republican convention, every
detail of which was anticipated.
There is no doubt that by contras,
the Democratic gathering will be
mobilize and intractable, but it will
be characteristic of the mass OF
Americans-intense voluble, de-
termined, and Embossed. The
convention will do its own work in
its own boisterous and irregular way
instead of following the special
directions of a manager. If the
delegates should yell it will be q
spontaneous and sincere outb urst,
and not because director has
button. 1t may be rough
proceeding from start to finish, but
it will be honest.-Daily States

Lafayette Boy Cots q Medal.
Among the graduates from St.
Stanislaus College, who acquitted
themselves with credit, is younR
man from this parish. In the news
paper account Of the closing exer.
cises of that well-known institution
appears the name of Thomas w.
Brown, of Carencro. This young
man graduated with honors IN the
various branches and w:s the re-
cipient of medal for defamation.
The following sketch of young
Brown appeared in the New Or
leans Picayune:
Thomas w. brown, another St. Stanislaus
graduate, is the worthy descendant Of . fine
line of ancestry. His father. Mr.. George
E. Brown, IS . prominent merchant At Car
encro, La. Thomas w. Brown was born AT
Breaux Bridge, La, and attended school
there until his entrance, four years ago, into
St. Stanislaus College, where by his superior
talests, he has merited distinction, each year
adding new laurels to his crown of success.
He leaves the noted institution of learning
with the respect and esteem of students and
teachers alike.

C0ttO0 0t ten Gents.
New Orleans Picayune.
Yesterday for the FIRST time this
season spot cotton was quoted It
10 cents for middling. aud il was
generally understood that there was
not very much for sale at that
figure. Contract cotton sold At 10
cents several days ago. SO tina, spots
have been rather quoted too low
than too high.
The high price prev illing for
cotton is not due especially to the
less favora bic outlook for the grow
ing crop, although it must be con-
fessed that the crop has deteriorated
very materially owing to the ex-
cessive rains. The main explana-
ton for Io-cent spot cotton is to be
found in the strength of the stats
teal position. Stocks of cotton at
New Orleans were IS, 600 bales yes.
eerday, As compared with ga,
bales at the same date last year. Il
should be remembered that not
even the apparent stock is all avail
able for the general trade. Stocks
At all ports are only 100. 900 bales
against practically 500. 600 bales 4
year ago.
10 appreciate the full meaning of
the statistical position the Liverpool
figures must be examined. In that
market the stocks of all sorts
amounted to $50, 900 bales q week
ago. as compared to stocks of
I.26o. 900 bales the same date last
year. The stocks of American in
Liverpool were only $4,000 bales,
as compared with I.lss, 900 bales
a year ago The total worlds visi-
bic supply Of cotton on Thursday
last was 1864, 900 bales, as COM
pared with $500, 900 bales last year.
This indicates q most remark ably
strong statistical position. and un-
less the demand falls off materially
or something else turns up it il diff
6cult to see how foreign mills can
escape a resort to short time
through sheer inability to secure
adequate supplies.
This is a position strong enough
in all conscience, and it means that
q large crop will be actually needed
this year to make good the shortage
of the present season. AS already
stated, the present crop outlook
does not warrant the hope of such a
crop, hence the strength Of the posi-
ton - infinitely added to.
