Thr decision in the Maine Suprem"
Court in the case II State IS. w. G.
Montgomery. completely knocks out
the paddler law and wipes out all
legislation On the subject. The court
holds that the law is unconstitutional
because it conflicts with the fourteenth
amendment by discriminating against
aliens. The court passed upon this
law some years ago. then holding it to
be constitutional. but the particular
point on which they now hold il y b.
unconstitutional was not called 70
their attention, ana was not discovered
by the court. Until the Legislature
passes a new law apparently. every
body is free to pcddle in this state
without any restriction whatever. 1t
would seem to be possible, also. for
everybody who has paid fees under
this law to recover them.

THE SLATE MAY BE SMASHED
Platform Will Endorse the Kansas City
Platform, Making Special Allusion
to Anti-Imperialistic Plank
Fight Ramapoo Water Act

Saratoga, N. Y, September 9.-Demo-
cratic slatemakers tonight gave out the
following as the most probable compost

State Convention
Governor-John B. Stanchfield of Che
mung.
of Erie.
Secretary of State-J. 7. Norton.
Attorney Generate. M. Palmer.
State Treasurer-Guy H. Clark.
Comptroller-Martin Glynn.
There is as much probability of this slate
being entirely changed by the time the
convention meets as there are that 1t will
be put through.
The platform will endorse the Kansas
City platform; make a special allusion to
the anti-imperialistic plank call for the
absolute repeal of the Ramapo water act:
call attention to the implied purchase of
the election in this state and demand that
decent citizens vote against the Republic
cans who would debauch the ballot; en-.
dorse the Democratic national ticket and
declare that the party in New York will
work in harmony for it's election; call at
tention to alleged interference by Repub-
lican state government in the affairs of
municipalities like New York and SYRIA
cuse; deprecate the alleged misuse of
canal Improvement money; claim that the
low tax rate of the Republicans is not an
indication of the real facts, because in six
years the expenses of the state govern
mnet have increased s900O,00O; criticise the
taking away from mayors of cities the
right to appoint transfer tax appraisers SO
as to obtain more state patronage.
1t was said tonight with some show of
authority that Senator Hill will make the
speech in the convention placing Mr.. Coler

PHILIPPINE COMMISSION
Will Discuss the Appropriation for Con-
struction of Roads

Manila, Sept. 9.-The Philippine commits
sion. at its first public session to, be held
next Wednesday, will discuss the appro-
priation of one-third Of the treasury's &c.
100000 for the construction and repairs OF
roads and bridges throughout the archi-
pelago. The people profess to be much
gratifled at the prospect of this work of
development.
The revenue authorities of Manila collect
under the Spanish laws 5 per cent upon
the salaries of American civilians earning
$500 per annum and upward. The tax is
unpopular and provokes protest among
them. The Filiplnos and foreigners who
are used to it do not except to the levy.
The reports of military operations show
that of late these have been trivial.
Manila is now experiencing the heaviest
typhoon known for years.
