DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE

The Democratic State committee met at
Montpelier Thursday evening to fix the
time and place for holding the Democratic
State convention. Twelve OF the fourteen
counties in the State were represented,
either by member of the committee or
proxy
1t was voted 10 hold the State convention
to elect delegates to the national conven-
ton and to nominate State ticket, at
Montpelier on Thursday, June ID, on con-
dition that Montpelier raises sufficient
money to pay the necessary expenses of the
convention, including hall rent and the SER
vices of the Montpelier Military Band
ID. G. Furman of Swanton was named as
temporary chairman. No speakers from
outside the State will be invited to attend
the convention.
The Vermont Democratic Club will hold

THE POPULISTS.

CINCINNATI, May 10.-The Popu-
lists began work early this morning.
Permanent Chairman Peck called for
order at $40. The Kansas vote was re-
considered and that state was allowed to
cast but eleven votes according to the
congressional districts instead of on the
vote of 1896 as decided upon last night.
An attempt to make this decision in all
states failed, as other states had named
their delegates in state conventions.
Nomination speeches were limited to
ten minutes each. Chairman Peck re-
ports $50 delegates present but about
2000 men in the hall.
After considerable argument plat.
form was adopted embracing a demand
for an initiative and referendum; pub.
lie ownership and operations of rail-
roads, telegraph, telephone lines, coal
mines, etc. Condemning the monopo-
ly of land, including all natural sources
of wealth for speculative purposes; ia
voring free coinage of both silver and
gold at the legal ratio of 16 to l until
there can be established scientific ard
absolute paper money based on the en-
tire wealth and population of the ma.
ton not redeemable in any specific
commodity but made full legal tender
issued by the government without the
Intervention of banks and in sufficient
quantity TO meet the demands of COM
merce. In conclusion the platform de-
mands a graduated income and inher-
GERS of the nation by direct vote.

There is also need of big navy to pro-
tect our interests in South America.
Mr.. Lodge stated in the most en-
phatic language that the United States
would never permit any European
power to purchase from Denmark her
possession in the West Indies. The
nation which buys these islands would
be an enemy to the United States. lie
likewise reminded the Senators that the
Monroe doctrine must be maintained
at all hazards and no matter at what
cost. He intimated without calling the
name that Germany is building ships
very rapidly.
Mr.. Lodge said if the Senator from
South Carolina (Tilman) though there
was no danger of an infringement Of the
Monroe doctrine in the South Ameri-
can republics he differed from him and
he had made very careful study of
the situation. Mr.. Lodge however did
not think there was anything in the
Danish West Indies scare. The debate
then turned to the armor question,

The Indian is trying hard TO accustOm
himself to the new order OF things. No
longer does the brave loll at ease, and
smoke his pipe in the cool shade of the for
est, while his patient, long-enduring squaw
tolls and drudges in the truck-patch. He
now assumes his due share Of the burden in
securing livelihood, and is the better man
for it, The change from the old to the new
frequently produces serio-cOmic effect, an
interminglin OF the funny with the pathet-
ic, which brings smiles Swallowed with
tears. The extinction of nation is sadly
solemn and the Cherokees have had tri-
bal, or national history, running back, long
anterior to the discovery of America.
AT present everything is at a stand still
here. The rulings OF the Dawes commits
sion, the decisions OF the federal courts, and
the rulings OF secretary of the interior, form
mass OF contradictions impossible to rec
oncile, and the people, like Mr.. Mcawber,
are waiting for something TO turn up. The
only thing that tiourishes is intermarriages
between whites and Indians. Indian girls
seem to prefer white husbands, and the
young men white wives, and the pale faces
are generally ready TO meet their advances,
at least half way. They make good help
mates, and all have, or will have soon,
goodly portion of this worlds goods. The
tribal lands are to be allotted, and the
tribal wealth divided among the individuals
OF the tribe-buck, quaw and pappoose re-
ceiving an equal portion. All children born
prior to April 80, 1900, are to share in the
general distribution. This may account for
the eagerness of the whites to secure Indian
partners. but the Cherokee young men are
generally of good appearance, well manner
ed and fairly educated, while the squaws,
particularly those Of mixed white and In
dian blood, are frequently charming. They
dress after the manner of their pale-face sis
tiers, are generally able to read and write,
aud nearly every one has piano or organ,
as they are fine musicians and devoted to
music.
Two bright, up-to-date Cherokee girls
have. am told, established matrimonial
bureau for the purpose OF facilitating inter-
marriages, and are said to be doing land
office business They publish paper called
the Red Cupid-but must hang up for this
time.

IN CONGRESS-.

WAsHIN GToN, May S.-The Senate
today concluded consideration of the
naval appropriation oil with the excep-
ton of that section relating to armor
and armament. The debate on the ma
val bill was practically confined to the
paragraph relating to the commission
ing of naval cadets. The committees
amendment striking out the PROPOSE
ton in the House bill which sought to
commission the cadets at the expira-
ton of the four years. term at the ma
val academy, abollshing the preliminary
two years at sea, was carried after a
warm debate by vote of 40 to II
Some facts almost startling in their
i'm portance were laid before the Sen
ate in secret legislative session at the
conclusion Of the regular open session.
They related, it is understood to the
invention of shell by prominent Of
fcer of the United States navy, a shell

any now in use either by this or any
other government. The quality of PEN

ufactured in the United States or
withstand it. The facts which were in
possession of only few senators were
deemed 80 important that the Senate
decided to consider them in secret ses-
sion.
WASHINGTON, May 9.-Practically
the entire session of the Senate today
was devoted to discussion of the Sec
ton of the naval appropriation bill re-
lating to armor and armament. The
debate largely hinged on the PROPOSE
ton that the government should erect
an armor plant OF its own. Senator
| Tillman presented an amendment limit
ing the price of armor to $500 per ton
and providing also that the government
tors Tillman, Money and Chandler adj
vocated the erection of plant, while
Mr.. Hale supported the committee
amendment providing for plant in the
contingency that armour could not be
procured fer $445 per ton. No action
was taken on the proposition.
The navy department has made an
adverse report upon the Gathmau gun
for the manufacture of which 1886, 900
was allotted in an amendment to the
naval appropriation bill inserted by the
Senate committee on naval affairs. The
report was made by the chief of ord
nance, Admiral O'Neil, and in brief
states that the gun lacks novelty, that
its cost is excessive and that il has not
met the test of the department in the
past and that it would not be safe
aboard ship.
WASHINGTON May IL AT the close
of the routine business Senator Lodge
addressed the Senate in favor of the
committee on the amendment to the
naval appropriation bill providing that
the government purchase the best ar
NOR obtainable, paying $545 per ton
for the quantity needed for the three
big battleships nearing completion. He
declared that more ships should be
built to secure The safety of the United
States. He did not think there was
any danger on account of our new pcs
sessions. The danger was along our
coasts and they must be defended.
