looks as though the demon Of hard
luck was camping on his trail. But
the rugged old soldier oomes up from
the gloom Of his third defeat smiling
and cheerful. He says be has no
enemies to punish, no lies to answer
for, no grudge to foster, no sting OF
conscience or pang OF remorse. He
lie, as he has always been, the same
plain, blunt man who loves his friends
and will be grateful to them for their
support until he goes to answer
the roll call on the tented plains OF
eternity. We know John r. Harri-
son as we know few men. We have
seen him pass through the fire Of g
score Of adversities. We have seen
him tried from all points and ct AL
angles. And we have yet to see any
thing little or low or mean about him.
The scowl of resentment lie never
found upon his face and sorrows
sting leaves no acid In hls soul. He
carries with him as manly g heart az
eve throbbed In the breast Of human
kind, and though the apple blossoms
Of success may never bloom for him,
yet the fact remains that he deserves
better at the hands of his fellows than
he has received.

RokE, May s.-Mount vesuvius has
been In q state Of eruption for the
last three days, and explosions within
the crater have thrown lava and
masses of rock to q great height. Last
night the eruption was especially
violent and was accompanied by
menacing rumbllngs.
A dispatch from PORTED at the north
foot OF Mount vesuvins, says: Loud
explosions within Vesaviasl continue,
accompanied By frequent, but slight
shocks that are felt at San Vito and
in the direction Of Pugltano. Not

IDDLE-oF.rHE-RoADERs
The Platform Adopted by Them at
Cincinnati.

First-We demand the initiative and
referendum and the imperative man
date for such changes of existing fun
damental and statute law as viii
enable the people in their sovereign
capacity te propose and compel the
enactment of laws as they desire; to
reject such as they deem injurious to
their interests and to recall unfaithful
public servants.
Second - We demand the public
ownership and operation Of those
means Of communication, Transporter
ton and production which the people
may elect, such as railroads, tele-
graphs and telephone lines, coal
mines, etc.
Third-The land, including all nat
ural sources of wealth, is a heritage Of
the people and should not be monop-
olized for speculative purposes, and
alien ownership of land should be pro-
hibited. All land now held by railroads
and other corporations in Excess OF
their actual needs, and all lands now
owned by aliens, should be reclaimed
by the government and held for actual
settlers only.
Fourth - A scientific and absolute
paper money, based upon the entire
wealth and population of the nation,
not ~redeemable in any specific COM
modify, but made q full legal tender
for all debts and receivable for all
taxes and public dues, and issued BY
the government only, without the in
tervention Of banks and in sufficient
quantity TO meet the demands Of
commerce, Is the best currency that
can be devised; but until such a fnan-
clal system 10 secured, which we shall
press for adoption, we favor the free
and unlimited coinage Of both silver
and gold at the legal ratio Of 10 to 1.
Fifth We demand the levy and
collection OF a graduated tax on in
comes and inheritances and 9 constl-
tutiOnal amendment to secure the
same II necessary.
Sixth-We demand the election Of
president, vice : president, federal
judges and United States senators BY
direct vote of the people.
Seventh-We are opposed to trusts
and declare the contention between
the old parties on the monopoly ques-
ton 10 . sham battle, and that no solu-
tion Of this mighty problem is possible
without the adoption Of the principles
Of public ownership Of public utilities.

Voted Tomb Stones.

Judge Gard and j. b. Atchison were
coming gleefully apaper from Toledo,
Illinois, this morning which shows that
whereas Cleveland received 440 major
ity in that Democratic stronghold,
Bryan this year barely got 125. 1t is
their old home town and they talked
over the old battles with groans and
sighs. Years ago Atchison stood for
county attorney in that county, in a
moment of mental alteration, and he
went down with a dull thud against
the cohorts of Democracy. He says
that a Democrat got drunk after the
election and confessed that his party
had voted seventeen tomb 'stones, the
names of men dead for years being
kept on the registration book. So
they were tickled to find that few
Republicans pulled through the cam
paign this year andlthat the big ma
iority was cut down.
