Notes OF the Democratic Convention
by Our Washington Cor
respondent.
Contrast Between the Democratic
National Convention and the Re-
publican PerforHance-A Message
of Hope-Enthusiasm Over Anti
imperialism and Bryan.
Especial Correspondence.l

No sharper contrast could be i'm
agined than that shown by the demo
cratic national convention at Kansas
City when compared with the republi-
can performance at Philadelphia.
The latter was boss-ridden from
start to finish. In the democratic con
vention no man, nor ven any set of
men dictated the proceedings
In Philadelphia the reading Of the
platform was received vita apathy
and Indifference.
At Kansas City the platform was re-
ceived with ~unbounded enthusiasm
The plank naming imperialism as
the paramount issue" called forth a
flag demonstration unequaled in the
history Of national conventions.
Among the democrats there was no
cut-and-drieu platform. The commit
tee on resolutions held a fourteen
hour session. listening to all shades
Of opinion on the vital issues. Tire
platform itself was written only three
hours before it was presented to the
convention. II satisfied everybody.
The republicans brought their
Observation-Disclosures platform
TO Philadelphia and then the leaders
quarreled among themselves until
the platform has become a public

Hone and Harmony.

The democratic platform is an ap-
plication of the spirit Of the Declara-
ton Of Independence and the letter
Of the constitution to the new and
momentous issues which have arisen
in the past three years, 1t is a mes
sage Of hope and encouragement to
every citizen who wants good govern
ment and who knows that it never can
be COMPRISED under a second term of
this administration
The temper and atmosphere of the
democratic convention was cry sig
ni7cant. There were gathered not
criy delegates from widely separated
sections of the country. but also men,
united as TO the necessity for govern
mental reform. but differing widely
on many details of the campaign.
II was a convention where dissen-
sion might easily ave gained a foot
hold. unless repressed by some higher
and stronger sentiment. There We're

of surface harmony. without regard

SteyenSen's Nomination.

The nomination Of the vice pres
iGential candidate showed how thor
oughly democratic was the Kansas
City convention An hour before
Stevenson was nominated. no leader
and no delegate could tell whether
it would be he or Towne or Hill. 1t
was simply a question Of the best

nomination gives satisfaction all
around. Stevenson adds strength TO

The Anti-ImperfaIfsm Plank.

Those who came to criticise admit
ted that all minor differences were
shelved in the face of the serious is
sues to De met
II was the most enthusiastic polit-
zeal convention ever held in the com
try. II was at the same time the
most earnest and sincere.
The outburst of enthusiasm over
the antiimperialist plank in the plat
form was entirely spontaneous. 1t
was 80 minutes Of flag waving. cheer
ing. marching. waving of banners and
singing Of patriotic songs There was
something awe-inspiring in the con-
temptation of that vast assemblace
set wild by an enthusiasm as grim
and earnest and i~rrepressibie as that
Of the Crusaders of old. 1t was the
protest OF the flag itself against i'm

How . po.r Sign. HI. Name.

From the London Mail: The Boer
may be fairly good at handling a rifle,
but he is sadly deficient in his ability
to handle pen. When the average
Boer has to attach his name to a docu-
ment an air Of Importance pervades his
dwelling for several hours. The chill
dren are constantly chided, the patient
"vrouw" has preoccupied look and
the husband himself puffs even more
vigorously than usual at his pipe.
Eventually corner of the table is
cleared and carefully wiped. The fam
lily Bible is placed in position and the
sheet Of paper requiring the signature
placed upon it. An expectant silence
falls upon the company. "Stilte!"
cries the wife. 'Stilte, kindetjes, papa
gaat sein mann teken." C'Hush, chill
dren. father is about to sign ais
name.o The family stands round OPEN
mouthed, and all eyes gaze expectant-
ly upon the paper. With arms barred
for the fray, and with pen carefully
poised, the Boer bends to his task. The
pen is gripped firmly between his
horny fingers. In thick, ungainly
scratches, and with slow and painful
motion, the pen begins to work, and
at the end of, it may be four minutes,
the deed is accomplished.

Earth a Pyramid In shaus.

Since the earth was first formed
many theories have been advanced as
to its shape and the process OF Its

ever maintained that its form Was that
Of a huge pyramid. Centuries ago Py-
thagoras and Aristotle declared that il
was spherical. Anaximander that 1t
was shaped like a column, Democritus
that 1t was concave disc and very
much resembled huge porringer, EN-
pedocles and Anaximenes that It was q
plane disk. and Zenofancs that 1t had
roots like tree. which spread In all
directions far into the infinite. Now

Miss Florence Harrison! There. now
we can begin"
The magistrate had so far recovered
that he could commence the cere-
mony, which was performed very
quickly. but in strict legal form. The
usual questions were asked and an
swered. the signatures were amxed,
and In less than ten minutes the we'd
ding was over. William, deeply NOV
ed, clasped his young wife to his
heart.
Maxwell glanced toward the door,
where Ralph had appeared during the
last moment. but remained standing
motionless in order not to interrupt
the ceremony. The doctor exchanged
few words with him in low tone,
then turned to the young couple.
Mrs. Roland. please go to your
father. William, you can accompany
your wife. There is no fear that your
presence will disturb the sick man
don't leave her alone now!"
A significant glance emphasized the
words. William understood that the
last moments of Mr.. Harrison's life
were at hand. and putting his arm
around his wife he led her to her
dying father.

Halfway House of Big Birds.

Near st. Charles, Mo-, is n great
sandbar. called Pelican bend, which
projects into the Missouri river, AID
for some unknown reason it is favor
lite stopping place for the numerous
flocks of pelicans that migrate north
and south every year. 1t has been no.
ticed that regularly each fall on Sept.
4 they begin to arrive They remain
till cold weather and then pass on
south. In the spring they return to
the bend, remain short time, and
then proceed north. 1t may be that in
the shadows around this sandbar are
quantities of fish of which the awk-
ward birds are fond. for they live al
most entirely on fish. A pelican loves
nothing better than to wade in shall
low water, where schools of minnows
and small fish are gathered, and to
scoop them up in its great elastic
pouch that hangs under its lower bill.
These big-bodied and short-legged
birds are clumsy enough on land, but
they have enormous webbed feet. and
widespreading wings. So in water or
air they move rapidly, and they seem
never to tire of swimming or flying.
