SATURDAY, MARCH "a, 1900.

The platform adopted by the Dem
ocratic State Convention of Nebras-
ka, Monday night, which, it is given
out was inspired by Hon. William
Jennings Bryan. and therefore favor
ed by him as the platform OF the
National Democracy, is summarized
as follows: THE platform of the
Chicago convention was endorsed; an
income tax urged; arbitration favor
ed in settling disputes between cor
porations aud employees; municipal
ownership of municipal franchises
epioined; favored pensions in deser-
wing cases; the building Of the Mica
raugua canal; condemned the Ding
lev tariff bill; declared war on trust;
urged free silver; Condemned the
Puerto Rico tariff bill; favored Fill
pho independence and expressed
sympathy with the Beers" 1t Will
not be approved by the democrats
of Virginia, says the Hon. Tom Mar
ton, and his declarations in the mat
ter of course may be accepted as
proof. that the Machine" in Virgin
ia is against it and will endeavor to
have the State Convention reflect
sentiments antagonistic to it.

The latest news from the Phlllp'
mines ought to convince the ldlest
dreamer of glory and conquest, that
the war in our new possessions is too
costly to be continued and that
duty" and destiny" is not pointing
that way at present. The startling
statement just made, and confirmed
in a great measure by the death lists
daily cabled by General Otis, THAT
disease alone has since last October
carried off the American forces in the
Philippines at the rate of regiment
a month" seems at least sufficient to
dispel the illusions Of the President
and his fellow imperialists in regard
to that country. That it has had no
effect upon them, however, save 10
order more doctors to SAIL to treat
the sick, ought to leave no doubt III
the minds of the people of the coun-
try, what ought to be their duty
when the opportunity is presented
to them in November, to rid them
selves of the miserable set that now
control the affairs of the country.

Dir. Temple Is Dead.

Broadnax, Brunswick County, Va,
March l7.-Dr. William Il. Temple,
who was shot at his home, near White
Plains, in this county, on Sunday
last by Rev. j E. r Riddick, died at
about 5 O'Clock this afternoon. The
alleged cause of the shooting was a
remark made by DR.. Temple to Mrs
Riddick. which she repeated to her
husband, but which he being very
deaf, misunderstood or misconstrued
visitors. Several of his former friends
called today at the jail, but were de-
MED admission. He sleeps we'll and
has a good appetite. 1t is thought
by those who are thrown in close
contact with the prisoner that he is
not insane. Last Monday morning
just before he was brought to this
place, he requested that he be driven
by his home to see his wife. When
there and in the presence of the guard
he asked Mrs. kiddick some ques-
tons they could not hear, but to
which she replied: mo l did not
tell you that, and you were not justi-
fled in shooting DIR. Temple.
owing to Mr.. Riddick's deafness his
wife spoke loudly enough to be heard
by the guard. Shortly after leaving,
the accused told the officer that he
had misunderstood his wife and he was
as sorry as possible that he had shot
DR.. Temple.
Lawrenceville, Va, March 10Th
Your correspondent went to the
scene of the tragedy Sunday, and
saw and conversed with many of the
relatives and friends of the dead man.
The universal sentiment was that
Riddick should have speedy trial,
and that no violence should be done
him, but the law should be imper-
TALLY carried out.
DR.. Temples last request was, l was
told, that his friends should do no
violence to the prisoner, but he hoped
that he would have an early trial,
and, if insane, would be confined in
an asylum for life; if not insane, he
wished him hanged, and if the pris>
oner escaped punishment by any of
the tecbnicalities of law, that he
wished his friends to revenge his
death with the death of Riddick
Riddick when taken from the jail
Sunday night, told the Sheriff that
he had a large bundle of papers,
which, in case of his death, he wished
placed in the hands of his counsel.
He remarked that they would have
an important bearing in the case.
He also requested that if they were
attacked he should be given gun,
saying that he would stop one or
more before they captured him.
Riddick learned of DR.. Temples
death with calmness. He did not show
the slightest emotion. My family
is now indicated" were the only
words he said. 1t is the universal
belief that Riddick is not insane;
men and physicians who have known
him for years are positive that he is
not. The man has an ungovernable
temper and jealous disposition, in>
creased, no doubt, by his deafness.
The plea of insanity, it is thought,
cannot be sustained, and his defence
will probably be an attack on the
character of the dead man.-Rlch-
mond Dispatch.

DR.. Hunter Mcclure, chief surgeon
to the immortal Stonewall Jackson,
and one of the best known ply sicians
in the country, is suffering from a
severe stroke of paralysis at his home
in the city of Richmond. He was
stricken down while in his buggy on
Tuesday on the way. to his hospital
and the attack so far has resulted in
the loss of his power of speech and
the use of his right side. His faculties
are not impaired and there is no i'm
mediate danger, it is stated, of his
death, but the advices seem to indi-
cate that no improvement in his con.
dition may be expected.

Everyone with proper reverence

agree with the Richmond Dispatch,
that the effort of Rev. Charles NJ
Sheldon to conduct the Topeka
Daily Capital for a week, as our
Saviour would conduct newspaper,
lis about the most all round sacri-
legious performance that ever dis
graced country" 1t has proven a
failure and no one had right to ex
pect that it would be success in
any respect. The effort seems to
have been received with the con-
tempt it deserved throughout the
country.
