SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept 12-This was
the ticket named by the Democratic state
convention today It's head was not Sc
lected without the indulgence Of acrimoni-
Gus personalities and sarcastic ex-
| change of compliments among the lead
ers. But when the will of the conven-
ton had been finally registered, ex-Sena-
tor David B. Hill was first to propose the
unanimous nomination of a friend Of life
long standing, John p. Stanchfield." This
attitude proved so spontaneously infec-
tious that representatives of almost every
county that had opposed Mr.. Stanch-
field were immedia tely upon their feet
and one by one they were recognized by
Chairman Raines to second the nomina-
tion
An evidence of the purpose to avoid
friction upon adj other questions but the
gubernatorial candidate upon the part of
both Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Croker was mani
fest in the unanimous adoption OF COM
mittee reports upon both resolutions and
credentials. Both these reports were
adopted by the convention without OBJ
lection. Some of the remarks of the
speakers were extremely poignant, and
their shafts aimed with unerring accuracy
and no attempt was made to conceal the
intensity of feeling existing among the
6nI1r0
force in the selection of the head of the
ticket, and thereafter in the naming OF
Z the minor places upon the ticket there
was such absolute unaninity of senti-
lnent that all was disposed of without
friction and without development of any
character.
The ballot for candidate for governor
resulted: Stanehf1eld 294 Coler l54

| nomination OF Mr.. Stanchteld Unanimous
THE PLATFORM.
:, The platform begins With pledging the
democracy of New York anew to the
principles and policies Of Jeffersonian
democracy and indorsing the platform
adopted by the last Democratic national
convention. It continues:
We recognize the truth of the declar-
alton of that convention that the burning
issue of imperialism growing out of the
! spanish war involves the very existence
| OF the republic and the destruction of
our free institutions. We regard it as
the paramount issue of the campaign.
Upon this issue, therefore, we invite
! all cltlzens of our state to promote the
| election of a Democratic pres, dent. how
ever they may differ upon national Issues
which at this time are inferior in rank y
| Then follows a reiteration of the dec.
larations of the last Democratic state
convention on the subject of imperialism
AS to the nominee of the Kansas City
convention, the platform says:
we ratify and indorse the nomination
for the presidency of W J. Bryan. a
statesman of undoubted patriotism and
independence, enjoying in marked de-
gree the confidence of his fellow citizens;
an honest, able and fearless champion OF
| popular rights and aspirations in whose
hands the business interests of the coun-
try and the industrial elements of ou1
citizenship would find equal and ample
protection"
! Relative to trusts, the platform specif-
cally condemns "the corporate combina.

The platform concludes with a discus
sion of purely state Issues, the claim be-
ing made that ''the Democratic party In
state and national affairs has been the
consistent champion of labor
The report Of the platform committee
was adopted without amendment.
On the call of the roll for nomination
for governor ex-senator Hill responded

BETTER MONEY NEEDED.

| One of the things which congress will
be called on to do is to reorganize the
currency laws of the Philippines. Ow-
ing to constant change in the value of
| silver, which is the main circulating
medium In the islands, and the total abb
sence of a standard of value, banking
and general business transactions are
carried on at considerable risk and amid
| much confusion. American dollars have
made little Roadway in supplanting the
Mexican dollar, which is still the prin-
cipal circulating medium. The banks
are engaged in a regular import and
export trade with this money and it is
brought in or shipped to Hong Kong ac-
cording as it's value fluctuates. Mexi-
can dollars are higher at Manila than
anywhere else in the world, uniformly
about three per cent. higher than in
Hong Kong. The local banks have per-
mission to import ''clean Mexican dol
lars which term is misleading. Mexi-
can dollars in Hong Kong are of two
values, according to their weight and
fineness, but as all Mexicans circulate
in Manila for the same the light weight
are imported and the heavy are export
ed. AS the privilege accorded the banks
of importing clean Mexican dollars has
placed the supply of money for the is
lands in their hands there has been a
scarcity all the time, and what money
there is in circulation has a value much
above the bullion in it. The practi-
cal standard is the fictitious and chang
ing value of the Mexican and Spanish
Filipino dollar, based not only on bull
lion value, but limited and insufficient
supply.
The needed reform should be made as
soon as possible. Perhaps the Filipinos
will behave better when they have bet
ter money, and realize what blessing
we are to them

a .DEC1YKNG ART.

| There is realistic and touching
poem entitled when Father Carves the
| Duck" 1t tells of Fathers honest but
| ignorant efforts, and graphically pict-
ures their disastrous results. In many
homes to-day Father will carve the
turkey, and even if the turkey stays on
the table during the process it will not
be artistically carved. A Washington
woman has been calling attention to
the decay of the art of carving. She
thought of inserting the following adj
vertisement in the newspapers:
"Wanted-The services at p. m. on
Thanksgiving afternoon of a man of
good appearance and address who
thoroughly understands how to carve q
turkey. None others need apply. A
suitable fee together with a good din
ner, will be bestowed upon the right
party" Her husband can't carve and
she can't carve, and she doesn't want
another experience such as she had last
Thanksgiving. She gave a dinner
party, composed of half dozen mar
ried men and their wives, and she and
her husband both thought that among
the six men there would be at least
one who could carve the turkey. But
it came out that not one of them
knew the first thing about carving, and
yet they were all over thirty, and all
of them came from good homes. They
finally had to have the cook ascend, fat
and wheezy, from the kitchen, and I'M
dertake the job.
Those who know how to carve say
it is easy enough, and they say 1t in
such a way as to imply that a man
who can't carve isn't much There is
Justice in the implication, for a man
who has been blessed with home and
the ability to get money enough to buy
a Thanksgiving turkey certainly ought
to know how to carve it.. When he
doesn't he shows himself to be lacking
in intelligence and enterprise. A tur-
key can be cut up without being dis
tributed all over the table and the folks,
and the head of the house ought to be
able to so cut it up. And above all, no
real man should ever be content to sit
idly by while his superior wife hews
and hacks the Thanksgiving turkey.

A Duty IND 4 p1r4suRE.

The duty of being thankful will be
preached to-day in the newspapers and
the pulpits, and it is a duty to be
thankful, but it is better to get into
such frame of mind that it will be a
pleasure to be thankful There are few,
if any, who can't get into such frame
of mind to-day if they go about it right.
There is enough to be thankful for.
1t is good to be alive, and to live in
such land as this. 1t is good to have
such measure of prosperity and such
lack of adversely as are our lot. 1t is
good to work, play golf and see or read
about football games. 1t is good to
have turkey or anything else that is
eatable. 1t is good to be town born
and to be allowed to live without being
town-born. And it is good to be able
to borrow money so cheaply that we
needn't care anything about the inter-
est on it.
Let US therefore take pleasure to-day
in being thankful and not merely give
as a duty "the unwilling gratitude of
base mankind"

Though the quarter retains its mill
taly associations, the cafe was forsaker
by the officers after the war, and will
them departed its hustle and eviden
vogue. 1t became one of those quiet
semi-deserted establishments the casua
visitor to which is puzzled to under
stand how they can pay their way. No
doubt it is not a gold mine, but for G
time it did a trade Of a kind. Its all
of almost provincial responsibility was
deceptive. Parisians who knew theil
city well had discovered that it was q
propitious spot for dinners anxious tc
avoid all risk of meeting their acquain-
| tances.

MORE OAMAL Tux.

; Perhaps the engineer of the Panama
Canal company could hardly be expect
ed to favor the Nicaragua Canal route,
but 1t is interesting to notice the OBJ
jections which Mr.. Vanilla makes to it,
He declares that in his judgment the
| Nicaragua route is impracticable, and
that the natural conditions are such
| that a canal there would not only cost
vastly more than the sum required to
complete the Panama canal but that 1t
is an engineering impossibilty to make
an approximate estimate of its cost
Among the serious objections mentioned
by Mr.. Varlla is the fact that the whole
region of the Nicaragua route is vol
canic with active volcanoes, which at
frequent intervals not only produce
violent earthquakes but send up i'm
mense quantities of light ashes, which
are brought down periodically by the
floods and would fill up the canal unless
continually dredged out. Mr.. Varilla
also says that Lake Nicaragua, which
has made' the Nicaragua route the fav
orite with most Americans, is to an en-
gineer a serious objection to it. The
lake Is shallow and has no channel deep
enough for vessels Even after a chan
mel was dredged through the lake it
would be necessary to build protecting
walls against the shifting sands and
ashes, which would cost more than the
ordinary work of excaVating canal.
1t is also to be remembered that the
Panama route is one-fourth the length
of the Nicaragua route and is nearly
one-third completed.
The work on the Panama canal has
cost S275, 900, 900, and it is no wonder that
those interested in it don't want to see
that amount entirely wasted.

A new and interesting phase of the
street-pavement problem has been
brought to light by the Engineering
News, which publishes the results of
certain experiments designed to ascer-
tain which is the most sanitary form of
pavement. The results obtained are not
conclusive, but they have a suggestive
value and may be considered surpris-
ing. AS q test, films of sterilized gela-
tin were exposed for ten minutes at a
height Of five feet above different kinds
pf pavement. The number of bacterial
colonies that developed was then count
ed, with the result that the films above
the cedar-block pavement in general
contained fewer colonies than those sus-
pended above either the brick or the
macadam paving. The greatest number
of colonies found at any one time upon
a film was counted on film exposed to
asphalt The investigators conclude
that "the most impervious pavement is
not necessarily the most sanitary pave
ment."

Famous Partisan Landmark Identified
With the Second Empire.
The last vestige will have disappeared
in few days of the stately, though
rather gloomy looking, mansion that
stood at the corner of the quay and
the Rue du Bec-a street that should
be familiar to strangers, as it leads to
the World-famous Bon Marche. Since
the revolution of 184S the ground floor
Of the building had been occupied by a
cafe which has its place in the chroni-
clas and even in the chranlque scandal

as the establishment was called, was a
lfavorite rendezvous for officers under
the second empire. The change in the
regime was followed by change in it's
clientele.

The Baltimore and Ohio railroad has
closed a contract for an enormous stor-
age battery to be used in hauling it's
trains through the belt tunnel by cleo
tricity. This battery will consist of 800
tanks made of hard wood, lined with
lead, each holding SO plates, 10 negative
and 20 positive. Each tank will weigh,
with plates and electrolyte, about 1900
pounds, and the complete battery will
have a capacity of LOO horse power for
short period Of time. The horse
power of the electric locomotive ranges
from / 900 to 1900, and this entire load

average use throughout the day being
less than 500 horsepower. When the

A remarkable record in railroad speed
has Just been made up in Canada, where
a special train on the Canadian Pacific
has covered the hundred and twelve
miles from Montreal to ottawa in
hundred and ten minutes, ten minutes
of that time being used in stopping and
slowing down. That is good speed for
SO long a run, especially as it was made
in a heavy snow storm.
