THINGS THAT NEVER DIE.

The pure, the bright, the beautiful. i
" That stirred our hearts in youth.
The impulses TO worldless prayer,
The streams of love and truth; 4,
rhe longings after something lost.
The spirits yearning cry. Il
The striving after better hopes
These things can never die.
The timid hand stretched forth to aid
A brother in his need;
A kindly word in grief's dark hour,
That proves a friend, indeed; !
The plea of mercy softly breathed,
When justice threatens high,
The sorrow of contrite heart
These things shall never die.
The cruel and the bitter word
That'wounded as it fell;
The chilling want of sympathy
We feel, but never tell;
The na-d -epulse that chills the heart
Whose hopes are bounding high,
In an unfading record kept
These things shall never die.
Let nothing pass, for every hand
Must find some work to do;
Lose not chance to wal1en love
BE firm, and just, and true;
So shall light that cannot fade
Beam on thee from on high,
And angel voices say to thee,
These things shah never die!

Nicaragua.

The Democratic party is in favor of
the immediate construction, ownership
and control of the Nicaragua canal by
the United States. The failure Of the
Republican party to make any prog
ress in carrying out pledge contained
in its platform four years ago, together
with the substitution in its latest plat
form OF a plank favoring an isthmian
canal for a specific declaration in ia
vor Of the Nicaraguan canal. would in
dicate that the Republican leaders
either do not appreciate the Importance
OF this great waterway to the mari
time strength and commercial inter-
ests of the country, or that they give
too much consideration to the interest
ed opposition Of transcontinental lines.
The Hays-Pauncefote treaty, now be-
fore the senate, would, If ratified,
greatly lessen the value Of the canal.
If 1t would not indeed convert it into
a positive menace in time of war. The
paramount interests of the United
States in the western hemisphere, to-
gether with the obligations to defend
the republics to the south of us, makes
it necessary that our government shall
be able to close the canal against any
hostile power.
People's voice., 1900-09-27
Labor Question.

Several planks of the labor plat
form are devoted to questions in which
the laboring classes have an immediate
interest, bu! which more remotely eff
feet our entire population. While what
is generally known as government by
injunction IS at present directed chief
ly against the employees of corpora
tions, when there is a disagreement be-
tween them and their employer, it in
wolves a principle which concerns
every one. The purpose of the in
junction in such cases is to substitute
trial by judge for trial by jury, and is
a covert blow at the jury system. The
abolition of government by injunction
is as necessary for the protection of
the reputation of the court, as it is for
the security of the citizen. Blackstone
in defending trial by jury, says:
THE impartial administration Of
justice, which secures both our persons,
and our properties is the great end of
civil society. but if that be entrusted
entirely to the magistracy, a select
body OF men. and those selected by
the prince such as enjoy the highest
offices of the state their decisions in
spite of their natural integrity, will
have frequently an involuntary bias
toward those Of their own rank, and
dignity. 1t is not to be expected from
human nature that the few should be
always attentive to the interests and
good of the many"
If the criminal laws are not sufficient
for the protection of property, they
can be made more severe, but a citi-
zen charged with crime must have his
case tried before jury of his peers.
People's voice., 1900-09-27
Pensions.


The party expresses Its pride in the
soldiers and sailors of all our wars,
and declares its purpose to deal gen.
erously with them and their depend
ents. A liberal policy is natural and
necessary in government which de-
pends upon a citizen soldiery, instead
of large standing army. Self-inter-
est, as well as gratitude, compels the
government to make bountiful pro-
vision for those who, in the hour Of
danger, and at great sacrifice of busi-
ness, health and life, tender their
services to their country.
The pension laws should be con-
strued according to the generous spirit
which prompted their passage. The
platform very properly reiterates the
position taken in 1896, that the fact Of
enlistment shall be deemed conclusive
evidence that the soldier was sound
when the government accepted him.
A certificate given now to the health Of
a person 40 years ago, even If easily
obtainable. should not have as much
weight as the certificate of tie medical
officer who examined the volunteer
with a view Of ascertaining his fitness
for Grmy service.

House Of Representatives, and that,
too, practically without opposition.
Whatever may have been the reasons
which secured the adoption Of the pres
ent plan, a century ago, new conditions
nave made it imperative that the peo-
pie be permitted to speak directly in
the selection of their representatives in
the Senate. A Senator is no less the
representative of the State because he
receives his commission from the peo-
pie themselves, rather than from the
members of the State legislature. II
voter Is competent to vote for men,
Der OF Congress, for State officers and
Tor President, he is competent to
cnoose his representative in the Sen

ator responsible for his election to the
people, as a whole, and amenable to
them If he misrepresents them, must
commend itself to those who have con-
ndence in the intelligence, and patriot
ism of the masses.

Department OF Labor.

l cannot too strongly emphasize the
Importance of the platform recon-
mendation. of the establishment of a
department Of labor, with a member
Of the cabinet at its head. When we
remember how important a position
the laborer fills in our economic, So
cial and political fabric. it is hard to
conceive Of a valid objection being
made to this recognition OF his sery-
ices. Agriculture is already represent
ed in the presidents official household:
the army and navy have their repre-
sentatives there; the state department.
with its consular service, and the
treasury department, with its close
connection with fiscal affairs, keep the
executive in touch with the business
and commercial interests. A cabinet
officer truly representative of the wage
earning class would be of invaluable
aid, r1t only to the toilers, but to the
president.

Foreign Alliances.

The reasons given by Washington.

relations with all nations, but enter
into entangling alliances with none,
are even stronger to-day than they
were hundred years ago. Our COM
merce is rapidly increasing, and we are
brought into constant communication
with all parts Of the world. Even II we
desired to do so, we could not afford to
ALLEVIATE many nations by cultivating
unnecessary intimacy with a few. Our
strength and standing are such that It
is less necessary than ever before to
lean for aid upon the friendliness Of
foreign power.

European nations, and share In their
jealousies and ambitions without los

Reclamation Of Arid Lands.

The time is ripe for systematic and
extended effort to reclaim the arid
lands and fit them for actual settlers
The last agricultural report estimates
that homes can thus be provided for
marS millions of people. The i'm
pounding and use of the waters which
are wasted in the spring would people
the western states with thrifty, intelli-
gent, and industrious citizens, and
these would furnish valuable market
for all the products of the factories. A
small percentage Of the money spent
in war of conquest would provide oc-
cupation and habitation for more peo-
pie than would ever seek a residence
in colonies within the tropics.

Extravapance.

The Republican party, drawing as 1t
does enormous campaign funds from
those who enjoy special privileges at
the hands of the government, is power
less to protect the tax payers from the
attack of those who profit by large ap-
preparations. A surplus in the treas
ury offers constant temptation to ex-
travagance, and extravaganza, in turn,
compels a resort to new means of taxa
ton, which, is being kept in the back
ground until the campaign is over, is
a fair Illustration of the imposition
which will be attempted when there is
a considerable amount of money idle
in the treasury. The rehabilitation OF
the merchant marine, laudable in it.
self, is made the pretext for expen-
diture Of public money for the benefit
of large ship owners, and in the in
terests Of transportation monopoly.
The government being only the agent
of the people, has no right to collect
from the people taxes beyond the le-
gitimate needs of a government hon.
estly and effectively administered, and
public servants should exercise the
same degree of care in the use Of the
peoples money that private individ-
uals do in the use of their own money.
With restoration Of foreign policy
consistent with American ideas there
can be an immediate and large reduc-
ton in the burdens now borne by the

Income Tax.

By inadvertence the Income Tax
plank agreed upon by the Resolutions
committee, was omitted from the plat
form as read and adopted. The sub
ject. however, is covered by the re-
affirmation Of the Chicago platform.
and | take this occasion to reassert
my belief in the principle which under
lies the income tax. Congress should
have authority to levy and collect an
income tax whenever necessary, and
an amendment to the federal consti-
tuition specifically conferring such au-
thority ought to be supported by even
those who may think the tax unneces-
sary at this time. In the hour OF
danger the government can draft the
citizen; it ought to be able to draft
the pocketbook as well. Unless money
is more precious than blood, we can
not afford to give greater protection to
the incomes Of the rich than to the
lives Of the poor.
People's voice., 1900-09-27
Arbitration.

The platform renews the demand
for arbitration between corporations
and their employees. No one who has
observed the friction which arises be-
tween great corporations and their
numerous employees can doubt the
wisdom of establishing an impartial
court for the just and equitable set
tlement of disputes. The demand for
arbitration ought to be supported as
heartily by the public, which suffers
inconvenience because of strikes and
lockouts, and by the employers them
selves, as by the employees. The estab-
lishment Of arbitration will insure
friendly relations between labor and
capital, and render obsolete the grow
ing practice of calling in the army to
settle labor troubles.

The Blacklist.

The blacklist as now employed in
some places enables the employer to
place the employe under practical
duress, for the skilled laborer loses his
independence when the employers can
not only discharge him, but prevent his
securing any similar employment.
The blacklist enables employers to Sc
cure, by mutual agreement, that con-
troll over the wage earners which a
private monopoly exercises without
contract.

aroused by its creation. The Demo-
cratic party is pledged to legislation
which will empower the commission
to protect individuals and communi-
ties from discrimination, and the pub
lie at large from unjust and unfair

organized for political purposes, and

to the business described in its char
ter. Honest corporations, engaged in

Gentlemen:-In accepting the nomi-
nation rendered by you on behalf Of
the Democratic party, l beg to assure
you Of my appreciation of the great
honor conferred upon me by the dele
gates in convention assembled, and by
the voters who gave instruction to the
delegates.
l am sensible of the responsibilities
Which rest upon the chief magistrate
OF SO great nation, and realize the
far-reaching effect Of the questions in
VolYed in the present contest.
In my letter of acceptance of 1896,
made the following pledge:
SO deeply am I impressed with the
magnitude Of the power vested by the
Constitution in the chief executive Of
the nation and with the enormous in
fuence which he can yield for the ben
eft or injury of the people, that l
wish to enter the office, il elected, free
from any personal desire, except the
desire to prove worthy of the conf
dence of my countrymen. Human
judgment is fallible enough when un-
biased by selfish considerations, and,
In order that | may not be tempted to
use the patronage Of the Office to ad-
vance any personal ambition, | hereby
announce, with all the emphasis which
words can express, my fixed determi-
nation not, under any circumstances,
to be candidate for reelection, in
case this campaign results in my cleo
ton"
Further reflection and observation
constrain me to renew this pledge.
The platform adopted at Kansas City
commands my cordial and unqualified
approval. Il courageously meets the
issues now before the country, and
states clearly and without ambiguity
the party's position on every question
considered. Adopted by a convention
which assembled on the anniversary of
the signing of the Declaration of In
dependence it breathes the spirit of
candor, independence and patriotism
which characterizes those who, at Phil
Rdelphia in 1776, promulgated the creed
of the Republic.
Having in my notification speech,
discussed somewhat at length the par
amount issue, Imperialism, and added
some observations on militarism and
the Boer war. it is sufficient at this
time to review the remaining planks of
the platform.

The recognition contained in both

to consider whether the accomplish
ment Of this purpose can be safely en-
trusted to the Republican party after

lier faith in the natural and inalien-
able rights Of man.
