gates to st. Paul be instructed to work
for the election of Il. Zimmerman Jr
for delegate to Kansas City. and cast
the full vote of the delegation for him.
Mr.. Comstock opposed the last part
of the motion, and moved that the

A wait of an hour and half then &C.
CURED. while the committee on resolu-
tions was jangling among themselves
in an ante room. 1t was long time
before the committee could agree on
anything, and when it did come in it
reported the following, in which it will
be noticed that no reference is made to
free silver:
1--WE affirm our allegiance to those
time honored principles of the Demo
cratic party, of equal rights to all men
and favoritism to none, and pledge our
selves to maintain the constitution as
it has been interpreted by the dis
tinguished statesmen of the past, and
we deplore and object to any innova-
tions upon that great instrument by
any political party without the consent
of the people.
While we do not oppose expansion of
territory when people desire of their
free and untrammeled will to become a
part of the United States, yet we affirm
our hostility to imperialism in any of
it's forms and believes that the forces
now governing our country are pro-
ceeding along lines that will eventually
lead to the destruction of our republi
can form of government.
1--WE view with alarm the far reach
ing and eyer increasing combinations
known as trusts, which are throttling
individual enterprise and crushing out
honest competition throughout the
land, and condemn the party in power
for it's failure to relieve the people
from these dangerous forces while it is
in it's power to fulfill the promises
paraded in it's platforms; and we rec
ommend that all goods controlled by
trusts shall without reserve be deprived
of tariff protection and placed upon the
free list.
1--WE re affirm our allegiance to that
grand character and noble statesman,
that friend to the common people and
defender of the constitution, William
J. Bryan, and pledge our support in Sc
curing his nomination and election as
president.
1t was els p. m.when the convention
adjourned. The delegates as a rule did
not wait to hear the resolutions, and
when it came in, the committee found
only seven delegates left in the hall.
The report was quickly adopted and
all adjournment taken.

Be truthful, temperate and sober.
Life is march, a battle, worlds
fight against the deviland temptation.
1t is therefore a serious business with
us all. Our martyr president gave
vent to his native humor that he
might live in a most critical time in
the history of our nation, thereby
enabling him to do the great work
providentially assigned him. Laugh
ter and good cheer are among the
necessary ingredients to make up a
Cody character. Many seem to for
get that they are men and women, and
join in the rapid pace we travel today,
working automatically as a machine
and running their social and useful
possibilities. Money, the most wor-
SHIPPED idol of the age, controls the
acts of men and is unquestionably the
moving power behind the throne.
Man needs steady hand and clear
head to long stand in the front ranks
of life these days.

Not all the good die young, nor are
all the fortunes made by dishonest or
dishonorable means. A Notable ms
lance OF man who did good in a
large yet modest way and accumulated
fortune thereby, was the late Daniel
s. Ford, the proprietor of the Youths
Companion, who died at an advanced
age not long ago in the city of Boston,
where for half a century or more he
had published what is perhaps on the
whole the cleanest, most wholesome,
widest circulated paper for the young
Of which our age can boast-one that
many OF the fathers and mothers read
with the same pleasure that their
children do. With singular modesty
Mr.. Ford never allowed his name to
be associated with the paper, and few
even of his lifelong readers knew Of
his existence; yet his was not only the
money power but also the controlling
moral force that set and maintained
its high standard of excellence, that
spared neither pains or expense to Sc
cure athe best writers and the best
articles for its columns. In private
life Mr.. Ford was known as an active,
earnest Christian, whose benefactions
were large and frequent, yet unosten-
tatiously bestowed, chiefly through
the channels of the Baptist denomina-
ton, to which he belonged, and to
which he bequeathed the larger part
Of his estate, estimated to be worth
no less than two and half millions,
considerable portion Of which is the
plant and buildings Of the extensive
companion establishment, the income
of which will be kind of perpetual
legacy.
