structed to vote for no other Democrat
for the nomination for president, and to
vote only for a Populist for vice presi-
dent.
During the debate on the adoption of
the conference report f. v. Holman. a
well known Democrat, of Portland, en-
tered vigorous protest against fusion
with the Populists. Mr.. Holman said:
THE Democratic party is great enough
and broad enough to take in every voter
who is opposed to Mr.. Mckinley and the
policies of the Republican party If the
Populists wish to support Democratic
candidates let them do so.
II believe the issue Of free coinage Of
silver is no longer a living Issue wish,
so long as possible, to contribute to the
success and triumph of Democratic prin-
ciples as understand them, and to sup
port the Democratic candidate for presi-
dent. But am a Democrat, not Popu-
list. This convention was called a Dem
ocratic convention, and to nominate a
Democratic ticket-not to nominate, sup
port or indorse Popu!ist candidates as
such.
IF there are any candidates to be
chosen by this convention, let them be
nominated as Democrats, and only as
Democrats
This is the fusion ticket complete:
Justice of the Supreme Court-William
r. Ramsey.

Schulmerich. Populist.
Congressman : First district, Bernard
DAILY Democrat; lem Second district, Will
Presidential Electors = Ernest Kroner.
Populist; John Whitaker, Populist; Dell

The platform favors an income tax, the
election of United States senators by d.
rect vote of the people. and the initiative
and referendum, and opposes government
by injunction. On the Philippines 1t says;
THE Ftlipinos cannot be citizens with

cannot be subjects without endangering
our form of government. We favor an
Immediate declaration of the nations
purpose to give to the Filipinos, first,
a stable form of government; second, in
dependence, and, third, protection from

pansion of trade by every legitimate and
peaceful means, but we are opposed to
purchasing trade at the cannons mouth
with human blood
Sympathy is expressed for the Beers,
and the Puerto Rico tariff bill is con-
demned.
The platform demands that articles
controlled by trusts shall be placed on the
free list, and that laws be enacted that
will effectually suppress all trusts. Gov

LONDON, April 14-"The forward
movement of the Beers is checked" says
Lord Roberts. This is taken to mean.
not by lighting, but by dispositions to
head off their advance. and to bar the
vulnerable points in the line of British
communication. Relief Is on the way to
Wepener. The Beers in Natal appear IN
capable of developing an aggressive
movement at Elandslaagte. Lord Methuen
is at Zwartkopfontein, twelve miles east
of Boshof, and Is sending small, swift
columns through the adjacent country.
Lord Chesham, commanding one of these,
encountered a small commando about
ten miles southeast of Zwartkopfontein.
He found most of the farms occupied by
women and children only.

CHICAGO, April 13-The Marshall
Field building, in course of erection at

terday, the most serious rioting that has
occurred during the present labor difIl-
culties took place, was today completely
surrounded by policemen and special Of
fcers, the guard for the building beiug

orders to keep the crowds moving, and
any tendency to loiter near the building

building last night on cots furnished by
the contractors, and the police reported
that about as many more entered the
building today and went to work
No further trouble is anticipated until

Milk LEGISLATION.

The recent legislature must have been in
league with the printers bit. A law
passed forbids the use OF milk tickets a Sec
ond time, and of course more printing will
have to be done. The law reads as fol.
lows:
1t is hereby enacted by the General As
sembly of the State of Vermont:
Section l. All retail dealers in mi k
who make use of so-called milk tickets
shall have the same printed in coupon
sheets on convenient size to furnish Gus
toners, which shall be taken up by tearing
of coupons from the sheet, which coupons
SHALL be Immediately destroyed.
Section 2. Any person using any such
coupon the second time shall be fined five
dollars for each offen,e.
Section 3, Tbi, set shall take effect
January 1, 1901.
Approved November 81, 1900.
Mllkmen must also cease to use water
and skIm their milk before it is sold.
They must also abandon the use of arsenic,
in fact give up doctoring their milk with
any kind OF chemical. This law reads:
Section /. Section 1927 of the Yer
mont Statutes is hereby amended SO as to
read as follows:
Section 1927. A person who sells or
furnishes, or has IN bis posse sion with
intent to sell or furnish, mi k, diluted With
water, adulerated, or not OF good stand
ard quality; or from which the cream or
any part has been taken, or keeps back
part at the milk known as strippings !"

fined not more than three hundred dollars

As to Communism.

The Burlington News is of the opinion
that the argument for the state school tax
sis the argument of communism" A great
many good and proper things are called
communism in default of other epithets to
apply to something the objector does not
happen to like. The angry fshwoman in
London was "onto" this sort of objurga-
ton when she extinguished Charles Lamb,
who was jollying her ladyship, by denounc-
ing him as "parallelopipedon."
The communism OF the State school and
highway taxes is written all over the state
of Vermont. The taxpayer, in any COM
munity, without chick or child to send to
school. is the victim of this communism in
that he pays the regularly assessed local
score of other ways. So are the taxpayer,
of the whole state in the sum, levied upon
them to maiot.in Burlington's experiment
station, ostensibly tor the benefit of agri-
culture; or tor laboratory there for a
purely imaginary benefit to the people at
large.
Communism is all right, it is beautiful
and lovely, so long as it bring. some $780,
600 year into Burlington; but wh-n 1t
comes to paying back few meagre thou
sands to the contributors of this plet ORIG
frlbute OF communlsm, then the CALLED
iade's withers are wrung and she winces--
it h'r ne Vspapers are always true represen
tatives Of local public opinion, which is

We are not going to preach sermon on
