WYE, THE representatives of the Democratic
wv party, in convention assembled, do de.
w nounce the sound money and expansion
principles Of jefferson and Jackson and
affirm the dogmas Of Popuists, socialists and
mugwumps. We oppose imperialism, except
Mr.. Bryan's dictatorship, and declare that
governments derive their just powers from the
consent Of the govcrncd-thcrefore We mean 10
help Aguinado, supported by a minority OF the
Tagalos, to impose his government upon the
eighty other Filipino tribes against their will.
PORTO RICO.
We hold that the constitution follows W. ].
Bryan. We dcnounce the Republican treatment
of Porto Rico in lcvying nominal tariff tax
Of per cent. instead Of the more onerous
ternal revenue taxes which our plan would
have inyolyed for appropnating millions for
the benefit Of its people, and for feeding the
destitute among thcm with government ratons.
The Porto Ricans are satisfied with the degree Of
self-govenment accorded them, but we object.
CUBA
We demand the fulfllment OF our pledge to
Cuba, now in progress.
TIE PHILIPPINES.
The administrations Philippine policy involves
unnecessary war; no war is necessary if one
OF the prospective bcligcrents runs away.
What do we care for few hundred Americans
murdered, more or less? Besides, greedy COM
mcrcialism will pay, and we want no prosper,

to supply the home market and that is enough
II labor is employed it will not support our
ticket. We are forninst the oppression OF the
dark races, except by us in the South and
agn interfering with the harmless Tagalos in
their playful efforts to massacre Europeans and
the other native tribes.
MILITARIsM.
We need no army large proportion Of us
believe that the police should also be disbanded.
TRUSTS.
We dcnouncc all trusts, except the Tammany
ice trust. Corporations should be made to
show that they have no water in their stock
We are opposed to water for either internal or
| external use
We condemn the Dingey tariff, under which
wages have been the highest ever paid.
INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
We favor an interstate commerce law that
will bust the hated railroads. Let them do
business at loss, or let people walk.
MONEY.
We are stll for silver, and the ratio Of ld

Accent silver dollars. We denounce the Re.

stand, like our peerless leader, "iust where we

ELECTION OF SENATORS
We favor the election Of United States senators

INJUNCTIONS
We oppose government by injunction; the
courts should not interfere with lawlessness.

Il find credited to Rev. Dr. VIM
Ashmore, a minister who has
passed fifty years as a missionary in
China, this statement: 81 believe the
entire foreign legation in Pekin has
been killed, and the responsibility for
this killing Is to be found in the deceit
and cunning of the Chinese minister at
the Chinese minister had private des-
patches on this subject several weeks
ago. He knew of the impending disas-
ter, but he was too cunning to tell It,"
In the Washington Star the Chinese
minister is quoted as follows: "The
first essential in dealing with the pres
ent situation is to maintain calm in
the midst Of the present feverish ex-
element and to avoid hasty conclu-
sions based upon a multitude of con-
flictlng reports. Mingled with the
slight information as to the fighting at
Tien-Tsin there is a mass of rumor as
to affairs at Pekin and elsewhere.

flame the mind and prevent calm judg-
ment. After reading some of the shock
ing stories, in no way verified ana often
| contradicted, the first impulse is to
rush to extremes; so that l feel that
| the first requirement in meeting TIE
present situation is perfect calm and
| Judicial balance in the midst of the
storm of conflicting report"
The Star says that Minister WI
shows many evidences of the terrific
| strain upon him and complains OF
headache and sleeplessness from con-
stant worry. The Washington corre-
spondent of the New York Sun says
he has the fullest sympathy of every
member of the Washington diplomatic
| corps as well as of the officials of the
| state department, who are convinced
that he has done his best to avert and
| to minimize the troubles in China, as
well as to aid the American authorities
in their efforts to protect American
| citizens and interests in China. on
every side among those familiar with
| his attitude he is treated with marked
sympathy and consideration. And his
published remarks certainly show Won
derful self-command and thorough APP
probation of the proprietles of his try
ing position.
Let us not condemn this brilliant
man without cause. Let us not initiate
the prejudices and fanaticism that
have stained the capital of his unfor-
! tunate country with civilized blood
Let us, as he advises, avoid hasty con.
| clusions.

Over the clover blown,
Flow from sorrow-a longing in vain?
Or is it joy intense,
So like pang, the sense
Hears in thy sweetest song something of pain2

Soar, and in upper deeps
Sing in the heavens blue arches profound;
But, thou most lowly Thing,
Teach me to keep my wing
Close to the breast Of our Mother, the ground!
Soon shall my feetng lay
Fade from the world away
Time, evcr.durng shall thrill through the years
Love, who once gladdcned me,
Surely hath saddened thee
Half Of thy music is made Of his tears!
Long may list thy note
Soft through the summer float
Far DER the fields where the wild grasses wayei
Then, when my day is done,
Oh, at the set Of sun,
Pour out thy spirit anoar to my grave!

A Battle for Freedom.

y" HE UNANIMOUS nomination
of John w. Yerkes by the
Il Republicans of Kentucky
for governor upon a plat
form which centralizes as the issue Of
the campaign the monstrous Goebel
election law and the revolutionary
course OF the Democracy in using that
law to defy majority rule is of national
interest, for it involves a fundamental
principle in our form of elective gov
ernment. The platform expression on
this subject is clean cut and decisive
as follows
"1he Republican party of Kentucky
is confronted with special and ex-
traordinary duty i'm the election of a
governor. The events of the past
twelve months draw together all the
friends of social order and civil lib
erty. Republican officials elected by
the people at the polls have been de-
med their offices and the people Of
Kentucky deprived of the right OF
choosing their state officials. Republic
can members of the legislature We're
unlawfully unseated, the city of Louis
willie was deprived of the right to any
part in the conduct of the government,
the counties of Johnson Magofin and
Martin have been denied all voice in
the choice of their officers.
THE courts declare that the o0'v
remedy for such invasions of personal
liberty rests with the people at the
polls. We declare that the only toll
cradle government is government.
We declare that in this state all men
must be free and equal, and that the
will of the people must be the SUI
preme law of the state. We demand
| for each child a free school, but we

property alone confers the right of suf-
| frage,

uing strength of the wrongs done in
this state. A vote of confidence next

of office and who have for year past
been acting together to thwart the
declared will of the people, will be
accepted as a vote of confidence in the
election law that is a blot on oul
statute book. The Goebel law mus
be abolished or republican institu
tions must be surrendered"
Government without the consent Of
the governed exists today in Kentucky
and it's existence is the handiwork ot
the Democratic party, which in ma
tional convention has the hardihood Il
talk against imperialism and to pos
as the special champion of the De

The workmen in the Edgar Thomson rail mills
are paid on a rate of S33 ton received by the
company from the railroads, and as the output
of the plant has been sold for the remainder of
the year at the ruling rate, the same wages paid
on Saturday will be in effect and prosperity will
continue unabated in the Turtle Creek valley,

There We're 200 replies. They showed

The amount of wages paid by these
same 200 manufacturers increased
steadily from 1890 to 1892, then there
was drop in 1898 and another drop
in 1894. During the next two years
wages picked up, but It was not until
1897 that these same manufacturers
were paying out as much money in
wages as they had paid in 1892.
Between 1894 and 1899, the 200 manu-
facturers had increased their pay rolls
by upwards of $3S,OO0OOO. In fact. the
