Completion of Ticket and Platform.

l The prompt and patriotic acceptance of l platform that he had strven to change in
 some particulars, and his laudation and | cordial support of MT. Bryan turned the convention at once towards David Bennett | Hill, and his nomination for Vice President
 became possible, even against his will. He
 did not want, however, the Vice Presi- l dency, and the convention took eX-Vice | President Adlai E. Stevenson instead. MT. | Stevenson is man of undoubted populari-
 many conservative voters who would otherwise vote against the popular leader
 and outspoken advocate of equal rights. I The Democratic party starts out in the 1 best possible form. Both nominees were l selected without dissent, and the platform

 ner. Discord a stranger to the con- vention hall. At times it presented scenes l of enthusiasm that rendered the transac- | tion of business impossible. To say that | such scenes mean nothing is to disregard I history and uncontestable facts. Every I outburst of enthusiasm in the convention whole is, the people are determined to I turn back the evil influences of the times, I thus restoring the republic as the fathers l saw it and desired it. The dominant issue, l as the platform relates, is the restorati tion | of the republic. It is now half empire and half republic and the coming election will determine which it shall wholly be. It can not remain at the halfway house. It must be the one the other.
 The convention did wisely in arraigning | first of all the imperial and military policy | of the Republican party, and in denounc- ing the trusts that naturally go with it. The battle will turn upon these issues, al though there are other issues named in the excellent platform that desire public at-
 tention. The trusts and big army and
 colonies and imperialism are all parts of
 one whole represented by the dollar. The
 Democratic nominees will stand for the
 man, for equal rights, for the republic as
 the fathers framed it. We stand at the
 parting of the ways, and it seems incredi- ble that William Jennings Bryan and Adlai E. Stevenson, standing on a platform de- voted to equality and justice, can be voted
 down. and a ticket supported by Mark Hanna and openly advocating privileges of all sorts voted in. We refuse to have so 1 little faith in the people of this country. l We believe Bryan and Stevenson will be | elected, and the republic brought back to its real moorings.

One Letter Too Many

The advance guard of that portion of the delegation from Montana which represents the interests of the Daily contest was hor- ror-stricken to discover that the man who had painted the banner pointing out their headquarters at the Midland here spelled it Montana"
 Martin Maginnis, who sits and writes at the little desk in the room, reminded of story when he learned of the mis- take.
 "A Missourian once came to Montana" said he, and, finding himself in difficulties, consulted one of our prominent lawyers. As preface he asked of the lawyer: Can you read writin? No the lawyer an- swered; can't even read readin'

Constitutional War-Making Powers

 The truth is, the entire programme of the administration is indefensible It is out side the constitution. We have now, if present reports be confirmed, a fanatical controlled at least by Prince Tuan. If he is in control of affairs, it is a government in- tensely anti-foreign, government that has in ali probability declared war against all the nations of the world.

"BoBs' AND THE fNNKEEpER,s GIRL


From the London Gentlewoman.
 A correspondent relates a pretty incident about Lord Roberts. It happened on the eve of his entry into Pretoria. Early in the evening, soon after Lord Roberts reached his quarters one of the officers of his staff approached him in order to discuss a mat ter of importance. He found the field mar shal with one of the innkeeper's little chill dren on his knee, trying to teach the mite to trace the letters of the alphabet with a pencil. When the officer entered the room Lord Roberts looked up with a smile and said: Don't come now; cant you see I'm busy?"

SHORT STORIES
 OF THE DAY
Even "Bim" is AtaLoss

. "Bim, the Button Man." who went to the Philadelphia convention with his for tunes staked on a stock of Mckinley and Roosevelt buttons, is placing his reliance upon some thousands of Bryan and Dan forth buttons. "Bim" is ubiquitous and aggressive, says the New York Tribune. Only by stretch of the imagination can he be called handsome. He despises the conventionalities of life, and stoutly re- fuses to adorn himself with a collar. He sat down at the hotel table with Elliot Danforth at the Midland without as much as asking leave, and the Chenango silk stocking statesman nearly had a fit there and then in consequence. "Bim" didn't mind He only let out an additional reef in his belt and smiled benignanty at Dan forth. The latters face was a study.
 Maybe" he presently said, T didn't suffer in all the languages while Roosevelt was holding up his hands and shouting. I won't accept the nomination. but in spite of my poignant and cruel grief [ knew I was exactly right I knew he would be nominated I said to myself, '"Bim," calm your agony; it's all right but not until the deed was done did 'Bim feel like a new, rich man.
 But you're off this time," remarked some one

A Genuine Prince frcm Hawaii

The delegation from the Hawaiian Islands is at the Hotel Baltimore, says the Chi cago Times Herald. A Prince heads it and has four supporters. The delegation con sists of Prince Daniel Kananakoa, Colonel w. II. Cornell, John H. Wise, John D. Hold and Charles T. Wilder. The Republi- can delegations from the islands which went to Philadelphia had a native, it is true but he was only$an ordinary lawyer of Honolulu, while this Prince is a real live one.
 He is of the ancient royal line, but he dresses quite as modestly as the RepubH- can attorney. He not only heads the dele gation, but if only two are admitted to the convention he will be one of them, and chairman to boot. It might have been ex- pected that the native commoner would accept the new regime in the islands, but a Prince, never.
 This Prince, however, is prouder of being a delegate than of anything so far in his life.
 "Birth," he said, disdainfully, ''that is of my ancestors. To be a delegate, that is to my own credit"

For Husband, Right or Wrong


 A good, kind, motherly looking woman is Mrs. J. K. Jones, wife of the Chairman of the National Democratic Committee. She has brown eyes and gray hair. She is calm in manner and speaks with a slightly Southern accent. Mrs. Jones spent the morning hours in her room at the Baltimore reading papers and magazines, for" she said q like to be well informed on both sides of the political question:" Asked her opinion of women in politics, Mrs. Jones answered:
 T think womans place is at home, min isterng to the comfort of husband and children. My sphere has always been home. I do think, though, that all women should read and understand as much as they can about leading questions, so they can be in terested in what interests their husbands. I am not member of any club or organ ization.'
 What is your opinion of the free silver agitation?'
 That doesn't bother me at all. So long as there is plenty of money I don't care what kind it is Besides am for whatever my husband wishes, whether it is right or wrong. There are few men who understand the money question thoroughly and I never saw a man who did"

Temerity of a Chicago Man
