Trusts that are conspiracies ''to re-

it production and control prices" are
condemned in the paragraph preceding
the Endorsement of the protective poi
icy, which creates monopolies, limits
production, and controls prices by
means of forced combinations. And
these particular trusts are condemned
by the republicans after the party has
had undisputed control of every
branch of the federal government for
four years and has not passed nor Sc

With the congress adjourned, the
war said to be over, the war taxes still
remaining, the platform declares for
the removal of those annoying taxes
which, had the party been sincere and
the state of the treasury what is
claimed, might have been removed be-
fore the adjournment of congress.
But the Endorsement of a peace con-
ference, every sentiment of which has
been and is being violated by the
anointed administration. approaches
buffoonery. Viewed upon its merits

M'KINLEY'S DENOMINATION.
nOpOIies That He Be Contin-
ued in Office.

Four years ago Mr.. Hanna succeed
ed in nominating Hon. William Nc
Kinley as the republican candidate
for president of the United States.
But it was only accomplished after
two years of the hardest kind of pre-
liminary political work, the aid of
creatures like Wimberley, of Louis
lana; the purchase of several hun
dred head of delegates from rotten
southern boroughs, and the most
lavish promises of patronage. On ac-
count of these malodorous but neces-
sary preparations, Senator Platt, of
New York, often and feelingly re-
ferred to Mr.. Mckinley as 1.-The mort
gagged candidate" His shrewd busi-
ness manager did not escape harsh
criticism at the hands of many party
leaders of that day. Hanna did not
mind the slurs of his antagonists in
the game. He made his plans, kept
his check book in a condition of per-
nicious partisan activity, and landed
his man.
Between the time of the st. Louis
convention and that in Philadelphia,
how things changed! Again Hanna
was on hand to nominate William Nc
Kinley. He had not had to do any
preliminary work, and there was no
one to say him nay. He was no long
er the rank outsider trying to elbow
himself to the front of a bunch CT
party managers. To-day he stands
alone, supreme, unchallenged! To the
naked eye, there is nothing whatever
left of the national republican party;
except what can be seen under the
hat of Marcus Alonzo Hanna. People

tion. In re1a ton to immigration and
convict labor the working people will
ask: IF you favor these things, why
didn't your congress enact the neces-
sary laws?" The labor people are
very much disappointed over the fail
ure of congress to pass certain meas
ures which were unanimously desired,
like the eight-hour bill, and if the
platform had omitted any mention Of
matters industrial it would have
given less offense.
The People VIII Remember.
There is a very cautious expression
in regard to the Boer war. A hope
that peace will soon be restored.
But the people will remember that
the republican congress refused to
pass a resolution of sympathy for the
Beers.
The intention to pass the ship SUBJ
sidy grab is reaffirmed The promise
of isthmian canal legislation is given,
in the face of the fact that the Nicar-
aguan canal bill was hung up in the
senate because that body would not
approve the -Pauncefote treaty.
The republicans now realize so
clearly the weakness of the platform
that they are saying that the speech
es of Wolcott and Lodge are the real
platform The administration is not
happy. There is gloom about the
white house. The shadow of the
rough rider has fallen across the
portal, and not even Chinese compli-
cations afford Mckinley distraction
from his campaign troubles.

PLATFORM AND FACTS.
Points That Crop Out in the Pro-
Sramme of the ImperiaI-
istic Party.

The gold standard.
A protective tariff.
The blessings of liberty and civiiza-
tion by cannon.
Ship subsidies to advance the mer-
chant marine.
Trust twaddle.
Endorsement of peace conference at
The Hague.
Reduction in war taxes after the ad-
journment of congress.
The above, in brief, is the republican
platform adopted in national conven-
ton. For the first time in the
history of our American politics a
great political party has declared in
specific terms in favor of the gold
standard. 1t has condemned the bimet-
allism, for which it's candidate, and the
peoples president, voted on three oc-
casions as representative in congress
from Ohio. 1t places itself firmly on
record as the party of protection and
proposes to maintain inviolate the
trust breeding Dingley bill, to the al
legged beneicent effects of which, with
the gold standard, it is claimed the sup
posed prosperity now felt in the land is
entirely due. The Philippine declara-
tions are the most unsa tisfactory of
all the planks of the platform. They in
dicate an indefinite, uncertain policy
summed up in the clause that the situa-
tion demanded that the United States
should put "down armed insurrection
and confer the blessings of liberty and
civilization upon all the rescued peo-
pie" And now, "the largest measure OF
self government consistent with their
welfare and our duties shall be secured

A Monkeys Cruelty.

When two pet animals are kept in
the same household and one of them
is monkey, the other is much to be
pitied. A cat-and-dog life is perfect
peace compared with the wretched
dance a monkey once led poor tor
toise. 1t is true that when the latter
first appeared on the scene the mon
key could make neither head nor tail
of it. At first he tried to open the
shell, but every time he put in his
paws his fingers were sharply bitten.
By and by, however, he found out
that when the tortoise was turned
upside down it was helpless, and
from that moment the creature
knew no quiet. AS often as the mon
key could get at it, it was promptly
placed on it's back. Often this hap
pened 12 times day. For malicious
cruelty commend us to a monkey

Whnt Ends Ii.

Ayoung lady (matrimonially bent ap-
parently) left her prayer book behind
her one Sunday in church instead of
bringing it home with her as usual.
Inside of it she had written the follow
ing effusion:
A bunch of 1ow'rs,
A look or two,
a little billing,
A little co.,
A little coming
And going, till
They so to church
And say: Il will
And that ends it.
On looking at the book on the follow
ing Sunday she observed that some one
had peneilled this effusion in it:
My lass, you're wrong
You surely are;
You worked that rhyme
Just one too far;
1t ends right there
Oh, no it don't!
For coming home
She says: Il WON'T"
And that begins it.

have professed to be cock sure of car
rying New York for Mckinley. but a
change has come over the spirit of
their pipe dreams and they are view

on the other hand, are confident OF
carrying the state for Bryan and for

A MURDERER
ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
Charles F. Jones, the Haief, Cufs
His Own Throaf.
THE WOUND is NOT FATAL.

New York, Nov. Charles f.
Jones, prisoner for completely in
the murder of Millionaire Rice, at
tempted to commit suicide at 10
O'Clock this morning in his cell at
the Jail. About 10 O'Clock he was
discovered with his throat cut from
ear to ear. He had performed the
act with small penknife. The
prisoner was taken to the Bellevue
hospital where the wound was
dressed. The doctors say he will
recover.
This attempt at suicide by the
valet, Jones, follows closely an al
legged confession by Jones of the
plot TO get possession of Rice's
millions. Jones, it is known. was
put in the sweatbox Tuesday night
by the police and the district at
torney, and it is stated that he
broke down and confessed that
there was plot to get the money,
but he refused to give the details
of Rice's death.
1t is thought that. realizing his
situation after his confession, he
sought to escape punishment by
means of suicide. A guard of of
tcers has been placed around his
cot to prevent second attack up
on himself.
