| federal constitution providing for the
election OF United States senators by
direct vote of the people, and we
favor direct legislation wherever
practicable.
We are opposed TO government by
Injunction; we denounce the black
list and favor arbitration as means
OF settling disputes between corpora
tion and their employees.
A Department of Labor Favored.
In the interest OF American labor
and the uplifting of the workingmaD
as the corner stone OF the prosperity
of our country. we recommend that
Congress create a department of la
Dor in charge of secretary, with a
seat in the cabinet, believing that
the elevation OF the American labor
er will bring with ii increased pros
perity to our country at home and to
our commerce abroad.
We are proud OF the courage and
fidelity of the American soldiers and
sailors In all our wars; we favor lib
eral pensions to them and their de-
pendents and we reiterate the posi-
tion taken in the Chicago platform in
1896 that the fact OF enlistment and
service shall be deeped conclusive
evidence against disease and disabil-
ity before enlistment.
We favor the immediate construc-
ton, ownership and control OF the
Nicaragua canal by the United States,
aud We denounce the insincerity OF
the plank in the late Republican
platform for an isthmain canal in
face of the failure of the Republican
majority to pass the bill pending in
Congress.
We condemn the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty as a surrender of American
rights and interests, not to be toler.
ated by the American people.
We denouuce the failure of the re-
publican party TO carry out its
pledges to grant statehood to the
territories of Arizona, New Mexico
and Oklahoma, and we promise the
people of those territories immediate
statehood and home rule during their
condition as territories, and we favor
home rule aud territorial form of
government for Alaska and Porto
Rico.
We favor an intelligent system of
improving the arid lands of the west.
storing the waters for purposes OF ir-
rigation and the holding OF such
lands for actual settlers.
We favor the continuance and strict
enforcement of the Chinese exclusion
law and its application to the same
classes of all Asiatic races.
Jefferson said: Peace, commerce
and honest friendship with all ma
tions; entangling alliances with
none."
We approve this wholesome doct-
rine and earnestly protest against
departure which has in
voIved us in so-called politics, in
cluding the diplomacy of Europe and
the intrigue and land grabbing of
Asia, and we especially condemn the
ill concealed Republican alliance with
England, which must mean discrim
ination against other friendly ma
tions, and which has already stifled
the nations voice while liberty is
being strangled in Africa.

Chicago Platform Reafiirmed.

ples of the national Democratic
platform adopted at Chicago in 1896
and we reiterate the demand of that
platform for an American financial
system made by the American people
for themselves, which shall restore
and maintain u bimetallic price leve ,
and as part OF such system the i'm
mediate restoration OF the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver and gold
at the present legal ratio OF 16 to l
without waiting for the aid or con-
sent of any other nation.
We denounce the currency bill en-
acted at the last session of congress
as a step forward in the Republican
policy which aims to discredit the
sovereign right OF the national
government to issue all money,
whether coin or paper, and to bestow
upon national banks the power to
issue and control the volume OF pa
per money for their own benefit. A
permanent national bank currency.
secured by the government bonds,
must have a permanent debt to rest
upon and il the bank currency is to
increase with the population and
business the debt must also increase.
The Republican currency scheme is
therefore a scheme for fastening
upon the taxpayers a perpetual and
growing debt for the benefit of the
banks. We are opposed to this pri-
vate corporation paper circulated as
money, but without legal tender
qualities, and demand the retire>
ment of the national bank notes as
fast as this government paper and
silver certificates can be substituted
for them.
We favor an amendment to the

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Dec. 20.-The
strike at all collieries of the Kingston
Coal company was declared off last
night. and the 1000 employees return

semi-monthly in the future and also
allow the miners check weighman of

the near future. The strikers demand

Chinese Expected Disaster This
Year.

Though processing to know nothing
beyond the domain of sense. the China
man is really an eXtravagant in the SUI
pernatural writes Sir Robert Hart In
The Cosmopolitan. Times and seasons.
too, have their meanings for him. In
1898 the eclipse of the sun on the Chi
nese New Years day foreboded calami-
ty, especially to the empire, and in Sep
TENDER that year the empress dowaSer
usurped the government. Then, as
chance would have it, this year, 1900,
is one in which the intercalary month
for the Chinese year is the eighth. and
an eighth intercalary month always
means misfortune. When such month
last occurred. that year the Emperor
Tung Chih died. and accordingly the
popular mind was on the outlook for
catastrophe in 1900. and perhaps the
people were morbidly willing to assist
folklore to fulfil its own prophecy.

1871 pounds OF fruit alone"
General Weston says Of the report:
II see no reason why the amount Of
canned fish (salmon) should be increas-
ed from 16 10 lS ounces and therefore
recommend that it be issued as at
present authorized by the president
that is, one pound per ration. 1t is
also my opinion that soft bread should
be prescribed as one Of the componenfs
of the ration, as there are times when
1t Is possible for the department to
provide soft bread under contract, and
ply soft bread is particularly notice
able with volunteer troops our regula-
lions should be framed so that they
will apply TO such. as when the volun-
teers first go into the field. Coming, as
they do. from all classes, 1t frequently
happens that the organizations have no
competent bakers.
"A large portion Of the people COM
ing from the southern states have been
accustomed TO the use of cornmeal, and
when they are enlisted, either as regu-
lars or volunteers, particularly as volun-
teers, they desire TO be furnished with
that particular article of food, there
fore, in my opinion, cornmeal should
be continued as one Of the components
of the ration.
81 agree thoroughly with the board
In excluding peas as one Of the vege-
table components of the ration and
substituting therefor oatmeal at the
same ratio. The coffee, sugar and fruit
component of the ration as established
by the board meets with my approval"

THE BoUrELLH RETIREMENT BILL
Goes Through the Senate without n
Word of Protest.

Washington, Dec. 2o.-Congress has
authorized the president to appoint
Representative Charles A. Boutelle,
of Maine, 10 be captain of the United
States navy on the retired list. Yester-
day, without word of opposition,
even of comment. the senate passed
the house resolution authorizing Mr..
Boutelle's retirement. 1t is expected
that the president will approve the
resolution, and, in accordance with the
authorization, nominate him as a cap
tain on the retired list Of the navy. 1t
is assumed that Mr.. Bousele will resign
his membership in the house and thus
open the way for his retirement.
The house yesterday, at the end of a
spirited contest extending over two
days, passed bills to compel the Penn
sylvania and Baltimore and Ohio rail-
roads to abolish grade crossings. to
alter their routes into the city and to
change their terminal facilities. An
amendment was placed upon the Penn
sylvania bill to require the road to
build new station to cost not less
than 81 500 900.

MARCONrS GREAT TASK.
He Seeks to Comm unicate Across the
Atlantic without Wires.


In his Dorsetshire laboratory. week
In and week out, works Marconi, the
magician Of wireless telegraphy. He
only visits London to attend meetings
of the board of directors, and, thrice
happy, he Is spared the reading of all
save the most pressing business letters.
His discovery has been patented in ev-
cry civilized country, yet Marconi is
aware that competitors are running
him hard in the race for improvements,
and consequently he Is never content
with what has already been done.
I'VE have proved the efficiency of
Marconi's invention for distance of
9S miles," said Major Flood Page, the
secretary of the Marconi company,
"and / wish you could tell us how to
cross the Atlantic"
1t is the solution of this distance diff
ficulty which is now taxing the ingen-
ious brain of the tireless Marconi, says
the London Express. The curvature of
the earth over so many miles of sea
causes the trouble. To speak to Os-
tend, over 40 miles of water necessi-

From eternity with greeting

Now behold his steps retreating
To eternity again:
Nineteen Christian centuries massing
Time hath marshaled, and the last
All his peers in fame surprising,
Joineth soon the storied past
Forth he goes with memories tender,
Gracious gifts and faults that mar,
Z fastening his account to render
At stern history's judgment bar.
Buried epochs rise TO meet him;
Praise and plaudit I'LL his cars;
Saints and heroes throng TO greet him,
ENJOYS of the elder years.
Fruitful industry is hinging
Myriad trophies at his feet;
Learning. science, art. are bringing
3 Garland for the victor meet.
Ger them all one laurel noted
High above his brow is set,
To his loitiest fame devoted
This unrivaled coronet
( Raise the shout and I'll the Aagon
For that hour Of manly prime
When he met and slew the dragon,
Crushed forever slayery's crime.
Yet no idle exultation
Doth VIA pride his bosom swell,
Nor may strains Of self laudstion
Trumpet tongued his triumphs tell.
But in counsel and prediction
See the aged century wait,
Hand outstretchcd in beuedietion
Toward the knocker at the gate.
One about 70 die saluteth
Thee. the latest child Of time;
Sacred task TO thee imputeth
That shall make thine age sublime.
Nigh two thousand years have vanished
Since the primal Christmas morn,
Yet hath warfare not been banished;
Peace on earth Is still unborn.

Bid the noise OF battle cease,
Bring to pass the prophets vision.
OF the promised age OF peace.
