The resolutions re-affrmed the
Chicago platform Of 1856 and >ahe
fundamental principles of the consti-
tuition. They opposed the republican
policy of n2ilitarism, cOlonialism and
alliance with any foreign power op-
posed territorial expansion by force of
arms and favored trade expansion to
the fullest extent.
The resolutions also opposed taxa
tion without representation and said:
That it is OUT, plain; duty to abolish
all customs duties between ourselves
and Porto Rico.
That we are opposed to the republi-
can principle of protection which
makes it possible for combinations to
restrict trade and eliminate competi-
ton, by fostering trusts and menopo-
lies.
We are in fayOr,Uf the electaon of
United States senators by popular
vote and favor an amendment giving
congress the power to tax incomes.
We heartily approve and commend
the devotion and patriotism of the
members of the First North dakota
Volunteers.

NATIVES ARE DIVIDED.
Capt. Glasgow Writes From Manila
Don't Worry About the Filipinos.

Capt. E. L. Glasgow, formerly one
Of central Kansas leading teachers
hut now in the 18th cavalry, writes
from Manila the following sensible
words about the situation there and
they can be depended on as being the
truth:
ut is hard to venture an opinion
as to when things will be in a settled
condition here. The sympathies OF
practically all the natives are with
this cause and against us but there is
very little armed opposition to u.s.
The most Of the trouble is now made
by robber bands which have grown
out of the insurgent army.
"These could quickly and easily be
put down If the people would inform
us of their raids ia time but they are
either afraid to do so or do not wish
to do so. 1t is almost impossible to
get any kind Of information from any
Of the natives and after all one can
not blame them for it is almost as
much as their life is worth to be at
all friendly to the Americans.
"They do not understand what
they are trying to do-the true cause
Of the Filipino people is the American
cause. The SO called insurgent cause
is the cause Of the rich and the power
full Filipino. The republic does not
exist, never did exist and it never
was the intention Of the leaders OF the
movement that such thing as free
dom and equality should exist here.
Those at home who are i'll at ease
about the welfare Of the poor native
do not, as a rule, understand the sit
uation here. This conflict has been
unfortunate only becauseof the cost
Of life. Out OF it and because OF 1t
will come good and great results"

SELLING LOTS OF DIAMONDS.
An New Scheme to Make the Kansaps
Happy.

The very newest and latest scheme
was that Of an agent Of a Nebraska
firm, who was here this week selling
contracts for diamonds. The scheme
is to sell q s65 diamond on small
monthly instruments. The stone is
guaranteed by jeweler and it is cal
culated that there will so many
lapses in the payments that a share
holder will get the diamond for about
$45. The agent told leading insur-
ance agent here that he is having a
big business and wished to place an
agency here. He said he was selling
good many diamonds to farmers
boys who wanted to get something
nice and at a reasonable price. He
could not place an agency here-thls
community has all the diamonds it
needs already.
