Why "Sfxteen to One" Was Put Into
the Democratic Platform.

WASHINGTON, July 9-Thes Post to-
morrow will print an interview with
Representative Richardson. of Tennessee.
who was permanent chairman of the Dem
ocratic national convention in Kansas
City in which he says, regarding the
Democratic platform: 1.-The controlling
reason for using the phrase l6 to 1 in the
platform was because some thought that
while free silver was not the issue this
year yet were it omitted the very fact of
the omission would give it more prom
inence and possibly cause it TO be dis
cussed more than If it were simply re-
peated in the platform. The argument
was that If it were left out of the plat
form it would be an issue, but if 1t were
put into the platform it would be super
seded by the great issue of Imperialism. -
''Win the platform command the sup
port of those who four years ago broke
away from the Democratic party?" Mr..
Richardson was asked.
81 have been gratifed," he answered
''to see that the nominees and the plat
form have met with so great favor with
the Eastern press. A few have criticised.
but it is only few, and the bulk Of the
Democratic press is once more to be in line
with the party. With this unanimity feel
quite sure that we can carry enough of
the Eastern and middle States to win the
election
Mr.. Richardson plans TO remain in
" ashington for some time and to under
take actively the work of the congressional
campaign. which will be managed for the
Democrats from Washington.

Gus locals throughout the country showed
that the association had gained 1900 new
members in the past year. 1t was reported
that the association had succeeded in or
ganizing all the New Jersey glass factories
except one, and 1t is but question of
time, says the report, when that will
unionize. When this is done the whole
country will be organized.
A committee was appointed this after
noon TO confer with like committee from

amalgamation Of the two associations.
The flint blowers committee is expected

SAN FRANCISCO. July 9--The Rio
Janeiro, twenty-eight days from Hong
Kong via Honolulu, arrived here to-day
with correspondence to the Associated
Press from Honolulu under date of June 3O
The authorities in the island are en-
deavoring to make the Japanese labor riot
ers understand that they must respect the
laws At Spreckelsville a number of
Japanese who had made an attack on a.
census taker and attacked a number of
officers who came to his rescue were con-
victed and fined s25 and costs each. 1t is
understood that plantation managers have
about decided to temporize no further with
the strikers. They have increased the
mems wages beyond contract price for SIS
to SIT month and the Japanese continue
to be discontented, although every other
demand of the laborers has been allowed.
Some of the plantation managers have de-
cided that If the japanese will not work
they must leave the plantations. Other
managers are about to take the same
course.
Governor Dole has decided that subjects
of foreign powers cannot hold office under
the government of the Territory of Hawaii.
Under the ruling numbers of valuable and
popular officials will be thrown out.

Col. Guffey Has Queer Views.

PITTSBURG, July 9.-Col. j. M. Guffey,
national committeeman and the leader of
Pennsylvania Democracy. who returned
from the Kansas City convention to-day.
says: 1T was the greatest convention
that ever assembled and has given us a
magnificent ticket and a platform that all
the Democrats in the country can support.
In this campaign IT is not question of
finance, but Of the preservation of the Re
public itself. Unless We maintain the Re-
public as it stands to-day under the Con-
stitution, the people would have no voice
in monetary affairs or in anything else.
The duty of Democrats Is clearly defined.
If we cannot succeed with this platform
and with Bryan and Stevenson candi-
dates it will plainly show that the Ameri-
can people no longer want a democracy
but are in favor of an empire"

A MUCH-NEEDED REFORM.

State School Commissioner Glenn would
like to introduce some reforms, very radi-
cal reforms, in the public school system
of the state. He thinks that if he were
given absolute control of the schools for
ten years he would bring about changes
that would be absolutely startling.
We have no doubt that he is right. A
system of public school education could
be devised that would be ever so much
more beneficial than the one in use. Mr..
Glenn's idea is that the system of educa-
ton should be of a character to make the
pupils do great deal of thinking. Now
they are taught to memorize hundreds of
things which are of no practical benefit
to them. The memory is cultivated, but
the reasoning power is not, TO the extent
it should be. If, at The very beginning
of their careers in the schools, children
were required 90 do more reasoning and
less memorizing they would be far better
equipped for life's duties when they left
school than they are. 1t would be her
culean task, however, to bring about the
reforms to which Mr.. Glenn called atten-
ton in his speech at the banquet of the
Hibernian Society on Monday night.

OUTLOOK FOR FARMERS.

A widely known banker of this state
said recently, while visiting this city that
the farmers would be riding in their car
RIGGS next fall and that he would be going
about on foot. The idea he meant to
convey was that the farmers would have
plenty of money, and would not therefore
be borrowers from the banks.
The farmers of this state are in a bet
ter financial condition now than at any
previous time for many years Last year
they raised abundant food crops, and
their cotton crop was about the average
The rise in the price of cotton was unex-
pected, and it put great deal of money
in their pockets. No doubt many of them
sold their cotton at about Z, or ~ cents,
a pound. Still it is safe to say, that the
majority of them kept some of their crop
until it reached s, and perhaps 9, cents
a pound
1t is almost certain that for the earlier
months of next years crop Of cotton the
price will be very remunerative 1t will
hardly be less than cents a pound. and
it may be higher. If there is applicability
that the crop will be a short one the
price will be much above cents. 1t is
probable that some of the farmers have
already sold their next crop. Those who
have done so are not inclined to take any
risks. They can sell at a very satisfac-
tory price now.
A few days ago the fruit growers of
the state were very much alarmed by the
cold weather 1t is said that the slight
freeze did not do the fruit buds any dam
age, and that the prospect for a big peach
crop is bright The fruit growers, there
fore, as well as the cotton farmers, will
have reason to rejoice.
In fact, prices have been good for quite
while for about everything farmers have
to sell. If such prices are maintained
for another year or two the farmers will
! cease TO be borrowers and become lenders
of money.

SOME BIG COMBINATIONS.

If the proposed fight against trusts is
to be a successful one no time should be
lost in beginning it. Some combinations
are projected which exceed anything here
tofore undertaken. For instance, it is said
that there is a scheme to combine all of
the iron and steel Industries of the coun-
try, the combina ton to have a capital of
81 COO, 100000. 1t would be a difficult matter
of course to create a trust of this mag
nitude, but it could be done. Such trust
would be able to drive all competitors out
of it's field and could place whatever
prices it pleased on it's products. II is.
stated that Senator Hanna and some of
the other Republican leaders have under
taken TO check the formation Of this trust
until after the election. They are afraid if
it was formed now the prospects of the
Republican party for retaining control of
the government would be injured.
In our dispatches yesterday it was stat
ed that the Metropolitan Surface Railway
of New York, had succeeded in getting
possession of the Third Avenue road of
that city, and that it would, in all proba-
bility, get possession of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit system If it should sue
coed in getting the latter property it
would practically control the street trans
portation system of Greater New York
1t would be an enormous monopoly, which
would be able to do pretty much as it
pleased. 1t would be a difficult matter 10
control it by means of the courts Its i'm
mense capital would enable it to get IA
vors not granted as a matter of right.
Trusts are not confined to those who
have wealth. The labor combinations are
becoming almost as burdensome as those
based on capital. The Nebraska Demo-
Gratis in the platform which they adopted
on Monday call attention to the money
trust, the industrial trusts and some other
kinds of trusts, but failed to mention the
labor trust. That was an oversight that
will be commented on. The fight against
trusts to be successful must not be a dis
eliminating one.
