or National Democratic Party Out
lined BY Hon. wm. J. Bryan
at the Lincoln Convention.

city is crowded with leaders Of the
three branches of the fusion forces
of Nebraska. Bryan and num-
Der of leading fusIonists are closet
ed aud formulating the platform to
be adopted this evening. 1t will
be submitted in the manuscript OF
Bryan and will undoubtedly be the
pattern of the national Democrat
ic platform. Mr.. Bryan has not
said so, but his companions have
II has been decided that the plat.
form will touch these subjects:
First-Unqualified Endorsement
of the Chicago platform in its en-.
tirety.
Second-A solemn declaration In
favor of the free coinage of silver
at a ratio of 16 to 1.
Third-Determined opposition ia
the foreign policy of the admins
tration with reference to its alleg.
ed close understanding with Eng.
land.
Fourth-AbsOlute and hostility
to the alleged policy of imperial
ism in so much as 1t seems to dom.
mate and control the inhabitante
of the Philippines this clause de-
claring that the declaration of in
dependence as applied to this re-
public hundred years ago applies
today to the Philippine islands
population.
Fifth-Arrangement of trusts ir
all forms, declaring them hand and
glove with the Republican party
and calling upon the masses tc
strike the enemy before they are
in absolute bondage.

number of $4,000 as soon as the

Supreme court and the substitu
tion of men more in accord with
the masses. The platform will
contain about 1000 words and be
the result of the combined wisdom
of all the fusion leaders in Nebras
ka.
Further Mr.. Bryan is said te
embody In some respects the sug
gestion of prominent men of his
party in all sections of the country
and that the platform as now be-
ing outlined is the result in meas
ure of numerous conferences Bry
an has held with prominent fusior
leaders all over the United States
1t Is made perfectly clear that tn,
silver issue will be made promin
ent though not such leading prom
inence as was given to it foul
years ago.

the friction which has prevailed
among the officials of the Boys
Industrial School at Lancaster, to
the decentralization of the institu-
tion, will soon be done away with
and the school will be In position
to carry on its work Of reformation
free from such hampering condi-
tions. When the members of the
board OF managers called upon the
governor to confer about the af-
fairs of the school the governor in
formed them thst the disgraceful
conditions must be determined,
and that II order is not brought
out of chaos within three months
they have to give way to q new
board Of managers.
The members of the board ap-
pear to have taken the goveino
at his word, and at a meeting fol-
lowing the conference with his ex-
cellency made a good beginning
by electing Mr.. @. d. Hilles to the
superintendency, in place of Cap
tain d. M. Barrett, who has filled
the Office for several years past.
The fact that in the selection of the
new superintendent the board went
outside of the long list of appli-
cants for the place, was to the cred
it of the board, since IL indicated q
purpose to select man because OF
his known fitness for the position
rather than his ability to pull po-
litical wires.
Mr.. Hilles, the new superinten-
dent, is thoroughly familiar with
the institution over which he is to
rule, having filed the position of
steward for the past eight years,
and having been for two wears pre-
viously clerk to the superinten-
dent. His record as steward Is
such as to commend him to all who
appreciate the value of strict in
tegrity and business methods In
the management Of public institu-
tions. He was the one steward
among all the institutions of the
State who of his own motion in
augurated the purchase of supplies
on the system of competitive bids,
and who adhered to that system
when it was, not popular. This
shows the disposition and caliber
of the man, and is an excellent
augury for the success Of his ad.
ministration as superintendent OF
the Boys Industrial School.
But while the board of mana
gers has made good beginning in
the selection of a superintendent,
there is much more to be done il
the institution is to be lifted out OF
the mire of factional animosity
and scandal among the officers
The board should see to it that the
new superintendent is superinten.
dent in fact as we'll as in name
and not hamper him in any man.
ner in the selection and control Ol
his subordinates. Give the super.
intendent full authority and then
hold him to strict accountability
for its proper exercise and the
chances are that the troubles
which have interfered with the
smooth and successful running Of
the reformatory will speedily dis
appear.

King Humbert was the eldest son of
King Victor Emmanuel II and Adelaide,
Archduchess of Austria. He was born
in Turin in March, 1874 At an early age
he attended his father during the war
for Italian independence, although he was
too young to take an active part in the
struggle. He was more closely connec ted

Italy in 1854, and particularly took part in
reorgnnizing the ancient Kingdom of the
Two Sicilies, cooperating with Garibadi.
When the war between Prussia and Aus
tria was imminent, Prince Humbert was
dispatched to Paris to ascertain the SEN
timents of the French with reference to
an alliance between Italy and Prussia
On the outbreak of hostilities he fastened

of a division of Gen. Cialdnrs army,
with the title of lieutenant general. He
was present at the disastrous battle of
Custozza, Gune %, 1860, where. it is said
he performed prodigies of valor. On Aug
% 1868. he married, at Turin, his cousin,
the Princess Marguerite of Savoy, daugn-
ter of Duke Ferdinand of Genoa, brother
of King Victor Emmanuel. In November
1859 a son was born, who was given the
title of Prince of Naples. After the oc-
cupation Of Rome by the Italian troops in
1870, Prince Humbert and the Princess
Marguerite took up their residence in
Rome. Humbert succeeded to the throne
of Italy on the death of his father, on
Jan. 9, 1878. AS he was entering the cap
ital in November, after his corona ton,

prime minister who was with him at the
, time was severely wounded in the leg
Passanante was condemned to DEATH but
his sentence was commuted by Humbert
TO imprisonment for life. Humbert was
decorated with the Order of the Garter
in 1873, and with other orders at various
times He has been an arbitrator in many
International disputes and had the uni
versal confidence and esteem of all of
his contemporaries.
