IMPERIALISM PARAMOUNT.

L
Next to the demonstration for the
party candidate, that greeting the an
nOuncement that Imperialism was to
be the paramount issue of this cam
paigE was the most spontaneous and
significant of the day. Senator Till
man read the platform. and with meas
ured force brought out the fact that
imperialism was now given the first
and supreme place among the issues of
the party. That the delegates were in
complete sympathy with this express
sion was shown by the terrific and
lOng-sustained applause. lasting over
twenty-five minutes, and exceeding the
Ovations usually accorded the favor
ties of the party. Following this, the
announcement that the sixteen to one
idea was retained in the platform re-
eeived only faint and iily-sustained
recognition, the applause being limited
to a few inmates. 1t was regarded as
a significant showing in the sentiment
of the delegates, quite as convincing as
the terms of the platform they had put
forward.
Another stirring event of the day was
the appearance Of Webster Davis, for
n1er assistant secretary of the interior,
under Mr. Mckinley's administration,
in a speech severely arraigning the Re
publican party for it's lack of sympathy
for the Beers and formally announcing
his allegiance to the Democratic party.
PLATFORM STRUGGLE
But the great battle Of The conven-
ton has not been fought under the eyes
of cheering thousands, but in the pri-
vacy of the closely guarded quarters
Of the committee on platform. Here
was waged throughout last night and
again this morning one of the most re-
markable struggles that has ever rack
ed this historic party. On the one
hand was the influence of Bryan and
the absolute unity of devotion felt to-
ward him and the cause of silver with
which his name is inSeparably linked.
On the other hand were many Of the
patriarchs of the party. men like Daniel
Of Virginia, insisting that the very life
of the organization was endangered by
clinging to old issues. and that the duty
of the hour called for new issues. based
on new and vital events. This contest
was at last narrowed down TO the one
issue of specifically reaffirnirg the
party's adherence to 16 to l standard.
as desired by Mr.. Bryan, or reaffirming
the silver plank in most general terms.
And on this issue the brains, the sagac-
ity, the persuasive eloquence and the
best ability of the convention las for
the last thirty-siX hours been engaged
in battle royal for supremacy.
And out of this fierce strife the adj
herents Of Bryan emerged, SCARED but
victorious. They have written the plat
form in their own way, with IS to L.
But it was a victory by a scratch. for
single vote would have turned the
scale. And it has not been victory

The Crush Hat.
From the New York Times,

One of the best-known lawyers in town
suggests that 1t would be a proper thing
for the leaders Of fashion in the city to in
stitute the fashion of wearing the crush
opera hat on Sundays when going to and
from the church services 1.-The tall sill,
hat says he, rs just as much Of a mt
sance at the church as it is at the opera or
the theater, SO that every reason that an
plies for taking the crush hat to a place Of
amusement applies as to wearing IT at
church. Then, should the fashion he
adopted, aside from the comfort for the
wearer, 1t would be a sort of badge that a
man was on his way to church and was NOT
out for a walk for the purpose of giving
the girls treat The crush hat is a sort
of badge Of fashion, showing that the
wearer is accustomed to the usages of So
ciety. at least. The scheme would have
economic merit as well, for a crush hat Is
a-good rainy day hat. which the silk one
Is not. and should the idea be taken up it
would be good thing for the matters. for
every weil-dressed man would have a crush
hat that would be made in conformity with
the prevailing fashion. just as he now has
silk hat for business wear Push the
thing along. Mr.. Heard About Town, and
when the leaders in fashion adopt the thing
there will be host of followers of the
style who would adopt 1t as a matter of
comfort and for appearance sake If for no
other reason.

New Source OF Guata Percha.

Htoha tue New 1oCk SuQ 49,
In a monograph tnst published in Ger
many 1t Is shown that tile Philippines are
among the few places, Oh earth in which
the trees from which gutta percha is pro-
cured will flourish. The value of this state
ment is not to be moderated, for two rea-
sons. One Is that gutta percha Is an indis-
marine cables and golf balls; the other Is
that the trees in Suniatra and Borneo, from
which the chief supply has hitherto been
drawn. are almost entirely exhausted. The
cause OF this exhaustionEafes in the prini-
tive and destructive methods which were
formerly employed fof gathering this vaiu-
able commodity. The natives, who never
have any thought for the morrow, have
ruthlessly cut down Whole; forests of trees,
so that they might scrape the gutta percha,
the bark. This Wholesale destruction car
ried on for years has greatly diminished
the annual crop, but the discovery that
these trees grow and can be successfully
cultivated In the Philippines offers hope
that new mine of wealth has been found
for American enterprise as soon as the
islands are pacified.
While the chief use OF gutta percha is
of course. for the isolatfng covering of cleo
trio wires, large quantity Is used for the
manufacture OF golf balls, for which no
other material seems so well adapted. Its
hardness, after having been submitted to
the proper pressure, and its toughness
make 1t the only golf ball material yet
discovered. The amount of cable laid since
1855 Is some 41,s53 knots, representing a
cost for the cables alone of millions OF
pounds sterling, and as the prospects are
that during the next fifty years many more
cables Will be required and laid the demand
for gutta percha Is almost unlimited The
wealth which gutta percha in the Philip
pines holds out to American enterprise Is
In proportion to this demand.
