length, which fairly took his audience
off their feet. There were other able
and notable speakers, among them
Congressman William Sulzer, Congress-
man John ]. Lentz, Congressman
Champ Clark, Senator Wellington, Sen
ator Mason and Bourke Cochran. Not
a single administration senator, con-
gresham or sympathizer could be in
auced to speak in behalf of the Beers,
although wide and urgent invitations
were sent to them all, from the presi
dent down, with every assurance that
the meeting would be non-partisan in
its character, as 1t was in fact. Not
word was said in hostility to the ad-
ministration. But it was noticeable
that the most prolonged and vigorous
applause of the evening was given
when Senator Wellington declared the
Filipinos were entitled to their indie
pendence as much as were the Beers.
The audience demonstrated their sym
pathies for the Beers by contributing
IN few minutes about $1,000 to the
Boer Red Cross fund. This was in ad-
dition to several thousand dollars
which had already been raised here on
the announcement of the coming of the
Boer ENJOYS.

HORSE FOR A WOMAN.
Nan Who Knows Gives ssHe Advice
Which II Worthy Of
David Harun.

The following advice given by
norseman to woman about to pur-
chase pony for her own use is worthy
of David Harum, says the New York
Commercial Advertiser: Never allow
a dealer to talk you into buying
horse you do not like. If you do not
like him say so at once, and II you can
help it do not assign any reason for say
Ing so. Always talk as little as you
can about horses when you are pur-
chasing them. Talk of the weather
anything else you like-but if you
don't know much about horses be as
silent as you can. The dealer may
probably imagine you know more than
you really do"
The woman in question thought she
would like a coal black horse, or per-
haps one of ''dappled gray" like the
pony In the nursery song. The horse
man grew eloquent: "a good horse
cannot be of bad color" he said. "And
horse of a bad color is never good
horse. A weakly, watery color indi-
Gates want of stamina. Black is about
the most undesirable of coats for a
horse. Black horses are nearly always
soft and delicate and slow. The dane
ing, prancing, dashing black horse of
poems and pictures is steed Of the
Imagination, Or the great exception
that proves the rule. Gray is good
color, although few gray horses have
made names for themselves on the
turf. Roam is good, too, in spite of the
fact that thoroughbreds are seldom, If
ever, of that color. For pony, dun
color, notified with black points, is
handsome and usually denotes hardy,
sound constitution. In horses of any
size dun is rare color. Chestnut
horses are the most excitable and are
often delicate. Sorrel-which is chest
nut and browns good, but seldom
seen nowadays. Bay is the commonest
of all colors, and when combined with
black points is about as good as any
color. For hardness of constitution
and a combination of good qualities,
good dark brown is the best color of
all; If there is rich, tan-colored muz-
gle so much the better"

With carefully cleaned statistics,
Edward Box, In Ladies' Home Jour
~. s nal, shows that tho
humber of women
women In business is de-
creasing, and will continue rapidly to
grow less. "The tide OF women rush
ing pell-mell into all kinds of bust
ness has been stemmed-in fact, it is
already receding, and perceptibly So"
he contends. ut has already been
asserted by female agitators that the
growing tendency to dismiss women
from various business positions is be-
cause of the opposition of men to the
employment of women. On the con-
trary, men were willing to have wom-
en- go into business pursuits, and 1t
was men who opened positions for
them. Undoubtedly this was largely
due to the selfish business reason that
women would work for lower wages
than men. But with the influx there
necessarily came into the business
world a great deal Of incompetent fe-
male help. For time incompetency
was overlooked, because OF the lower
wages. Gradually, however, there
came the inevitable wedding process,
temporarily stayed by the business
depression of the past few years.
When prosperous times came 1t was
different, and it is very significant
story which accurate statistics tell
that more women have been dis
charged from business positions dur
ing the past year of prosperity, even
taking into consideration the larger
number employed. than in any pre-
vious wear"

The Dat Lot Loose.

Mark Hanna, according to the New

we were practically hermit nation,
isolated from all world forces that
promote industry, trade and com
tnerce. The statement Is absurd. We
invite Mr.. Hanna to the contemplation

adds that our manufacturing capabil-
tiles and facilities were beyond our
Pwn needs. That Ia what the trusts
khink. Competition forces prices
down, 80 they combine, close up sew
pral factories, choke down production,
and then, in the scarcity thus pro-
huced and made possible in part by
the tariff that protests them from
Forld competition, raise the prices.

mand was enormous, but that manu-
faoture for home demand does not
add to general wealth. Is it SOP Then

The State Convention ProcIaims
PEOPLES Wishes.

The democracy Of Iowa invite the
cooperation of all friends of civil and
personal liberty, and of equal rights,
and who are in favor of the mainten-
ance of constitutional government as
founded by the fathers, and make the
Following declaration of principles in
support thereof;
Bryan Indorsed
We reaffirm our unqualified allie
glance to the principles set forth in
the democratic national platform
adopted in Chicago in 1896, and recog-
nizing William j. Bryan as the great
est living exponent of said principles,
we demand his nomination as the
standard bearer of democracy.
Money.
We are opposed to the single gold
standard and denounce the action of
congress in attempting to establish it,
and in retiring the greenback curren-
cy in circulation and in Surrendering
the sovereign power of the govern
ment over the money of the country
and the placing of this power in the
handS OF banking corporations.
Trusts.
We denounce trusts and combina-
lions in restraint of trade and the
protective policy of the republican
party upon which they are founded.
and demand legislation that will re-
lleve the people from their burdens
promptly, thoroughly and effectively.
Porto Rican Measure.
We deplore the adoption of the
recent Porto Rican measure which
the people and the press of all parties
nave branded as violation of Ameri-
can pledges and of the constitution
and as stain upon American honor,
and we heartily commend the action
OF the house of representatives of the
Iwenty-elghth general assembly Of
Lie State-of Iowa in adopting, by
unanimous vote, resolution opposing
the Porto Rican tariff.
Imperialism.
We condemn the imperialisticp policy
of this administration as fraught with
danger to the best interests of our
country and destructive of the princi-
pies of liberty guaranteed by the con-
Stitution and condemn its course to-
ward the PHILIPPINE islands as I'M
American and contrary to the princi-
pies that our fathers maintained
against the tyranny of Great Britain
during the war of the revolution.
Sympathy for Beers.
We as citizenf of republic, extend
our sympathy to the citizens of the
South African republics in the gallant
fight they are making for the right of
self government, for life, liberty and
home
Election of Senators.
We favor the election of United
States senators by direct vote of the
people.

where all are giants; another where all
are women, and another where every

OF his body, SO that by means of pole
thrust through this hole they may be

aDor.pu PATTERSON
PRAISE FOR BRYAN.
and Remains True to His
Political Faith.

The New York Sun, in a generous
moment, pays the following tribute
to William ]. Bryan:
"The Bryan of 1900 stands before
the people us man with the boldness
of honest convictions. The sincerity
and courage of such an attitude are
admirable, however deplornble the
convictions may be. He is not quit
ter. The American people hate quit
ter; we have had the testimony of
Hon. Samuel Fessenden that the AL
mighty hates gutter, too.
Mr.. Bryan has resisted to the pres
emit time all the efforts OF the time
servers to make him an accomplice in
the suppression of the main issue
which bore him upward to the COM
handing position he occupies in his
party's councils. He Is using his I'M
equaled power to hold the democracy
to its declared creed, notwithstand-
Ing the temptations of supposed expe-
diency.
ut Is somewhat curious circum-
stance that Mr.. Bryan should prove
to be more stalwart for free silver
than Mr.. Cleveland was for tariff re-
form.
Indeed, Bryan is showing in 1900
that he really possesses the moral
stamina and unyielding adherence to
principle which the mugwumps of ten
or a dozen years ago thought they had
discovered and chiefly admired in
their localized prophet.
I'm the case of Mr.. Bryan the part
Of honesty is likewise the part Of po-
htical wisdom. He has been urged
to ALLEVIATE several millions of voters
for the sake of pleasing few hun
dreds of thousands"

president came along yesterday with
recommendation to congress that
the 100000 collected on importa-
tions from the island since the Span
ish evacuation be applied to the relief
OF the Porto Ricans by the United
States. Next to the performance of a
plain duty the president seemed to
think the two millions would serve.

Of admitting this territory to its con-
stitutional rights under the flag, and
