The Charleston Evening Post says: "a
suggestion has been put forth in Richmond
and is generally APP
THE JAMESTOWN proved there that an
EXPOSITION. exposition be held in
1907 to celebrate the
three hundredth anniversary of the set
tlement at Jamestown, the first perma-
nent English establishment in America.
The plan is a good one. We believe in
expositions, and hope that Richmond will
organize one. She will do it Wen, if she
does it at all
Charleston is soon to have an exposition,
and we have no doubt that it will be as
successful as were the eXpositions in At
lanta and Nashville. But the Jamestown
Exposition in Richmond ought to be on a
greater scale, and ought to be the grand
est that the world has ever seen.

China thirty years.
Speaking of the present situation in that
country, he said:
II have the gravest approximations of
danger to the mission stations i'll Northern
China. The Boxers are not upheld openly
by the government, but secretly. The
Boxers are banded together for the pre-
servation of conservatism. They are re-
ligious fanatics, claiming that spirits urge
them on, and that they are immuned from
death or injury as long as they remain
loyal to the silent voices At first they
attacked the native churches belonging TO
the Roman Catholic missions. but soon be-
gan to wag e war on the Protestant
churches and missions as well. They have
destroyed 100 houses belonging to the
Roman Catholics and 800 belonging to
the Protestant denominations They are
adding TO their numbers, and it will take
the most strenuous efforts on the part
of the Chinese Government to suppress
them. -

A MODEL PLATFORM.

The platform promulgated by the Demo-
Gratis of Maryland supplies excellent
framework for national platform. if the
delegates to the Kansas City Convention
will only employ it. 1t '.reaffirms ale
glance 10 the principles Of the party as
formulated by jefferson and exemplihed
by Madison and Jackson
1t says that policies necessarily change
with changed conditions, but that the
fundamental principles of Democracy are
the same in every age and under all cir
cuncstances.
..Tne preservation of personal liberty.
1.-THE equality of all citizens before the
law,
Freedom of speech.
Freedom of the press,
Freedom Of conscience,
...rhc reserved rights of the States
And the supremacy of the Federal gov
ernment within the limits Of the Constitu-
tion-these remain untouched by the
viciss!tudes of time and eyolutions, and
will ever stand as the best and only guar
ansee of the perpetuation of free institu-
tions. -
These principles an Democrats must
subscribe to.
AS 10 the question of expansion. it de-
clares that the Constitution follows the
flag and it is insisted that no nation can
long endure half republic and half empire.
That's where the campaign cry Of the
republic instead of the empire would
come in.
The platform denounces the Porto Rican
tariif, and well it may. for it was inforced
by the Republicans for political effect-to
exploit the protection theory.
The Maryland Democrats declare them
selves IN favor of trade expansion ..by
every legitimate and peaceful means and
By providing every. facility and protection

a NEGRO TICKET.

The announcement is made from Phila-
delphia that prominent negroes, ministers,
doctors and lawyers have held a meet
ing and decided to place a Presidential
ticket in the field with negro candidates.
The announcement IS interesting, but
it is not to be taken seriously. We do
not see what good thing the negroes of
this country can expect to gain by run
ming such a ticket. In the South where
the great majority of the negro voters
are the ticket will, of course, have no
sort OF chance to win in any State, and
in no other States are the negro voters
in sufficient force to make it interesting
for the politicians. The only effect Of
such a ticket would be to intensity preju
dice against the black man. Well nay
the negro pray to be saved from his fool
friends.

SENSATIONAL REPORT
TEAT FENIANs ARE STORING WAn
MATERIAL IN NORTHERN NEW
ENGLAND.
Elaborate Preparations Beins HHus
for 4 Campaign Against Canada
Including Transport and AmDu-
lance Service.

NEW YORK, January IA speclaf
TO the Times from Burlington W.
says:
II is reported that the Fenians are
engaged in storing large quantities OF
dynamite, lyddite ammunition and sup
niles in a few selected repositories IN
remote districts in Vermont and Maine
near the Canadian boundary line. The
information comes from persons who
claim to have knowledge of the pur-
chase of some of the supplies and 9TH
ers who learned of their transporta-
ton by railroad disguised as groceries.
Dynamite and other explosives have
been secured in large quantities and
stored under ground on the Vermont
border. while quantities of canned
meats have been hidden in some large
barns of sympathizing farmers on the
Maine line near New Hampshire.
It is said that an efficient ambulance
corps is being organized under the
supervision of few loyal Irish women
and surgeons who were in the Red
Cross work in Cuba.
The movement is the work OF the
Irish element Of the larger cities. A
schedule is being arranged of farmers
of the border States, who can furnish
uyeoonc and horses and oxen for trans
portation purposes, as this is regarded
as a most important detail. A careful
study is being made Of the small rail-
road branches in northern New Eng
land and places are being located where
the road could be captured by very
small force.

sight of you. You were standing with
that woman. When it was time for her
to come back to the stage you put your
arm around her and kissed her. There
were several men standing by but you
did not seem to care enough for me even
to mind that it should be seen by others.

was some wild streak in her, which we
could not account for or control She
went onto the stage to lead the life Of
which you saw part. The disgrace was
a terrible blow to my parents They have
never forgiven her-they never see her.
Indeed do not think she has much love
or need for any of US. But 1 always go

her, and 1 was with her again the next
