The Democratic Platform

The Democratic platform adopted
at Kansas City is, IN many respects,
an important document. It de-
clares that opposition to imperial
ism is the paramount issue in the
campaign which has just begun.
1t says:
We are in favor of extending the Re
public's influence among the nations,
but believe that influence should be ex-
tended, not by force and violence. but
through the persuasive power OF high
and honorable example. The impor'
lance of other questions now pendln"
before the American people is in no wise
diminished, and the Democratic party
takes no backward step from its posi-
ton on them; but 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 Para
mount issue of the campaign.

MANY PUPILS ARE ILL
COMPLAINT ABOUT SANITARY CONDI-
TIoN OF SCHOOL NO. Is.
Many Children Who Attend School
There Are Sick-The Cause As
signed-Quarantine Raised.

Numerous complaints are being made TO
the Board of Health by persons residing in
the vicinity Of public school No. Is, on East
Michigan street between Beville and Key
stone avenues. relative to the sanitary con-
ditions In the school and an alarming
amount of sickness among the pupils. The
school is one of the largest in the city and
State. and there are now said to be nearly
900 pupils attending.
Complaint is made of the basement and
the sewer arrangement in the new build
ing. A sewer was laid from the building
to Crooked creek for carrying off the sew
age. and 1t Is claimed that owners Of prop
erty along the line of the drain or sewer
have connected their sinks with it. and
that on account Of poor facilities for car
rying the refuse to the creek the gases and
poisoned waters are backed up into the
basement of the school building. thus caus-
ing the foul and poisonous odors which
have caused the sickness in the building.
There is said new to be proportionately
more sickness In the school than In any
other school in the city, and the greater
number OF pupils who are Ill are said TO be
attendants at the new building The mat
ter has been brought several times before
the School Board, but without definite ac-
ton being taken. 1t is claimed that the
number of cases of diphtheria and diseases
resulting from foul air is greater now than
ever before, and in excess of any other
school in the city.
The Board of Health has investigated
the matter, and thinks the conditions are
the result of inadequate appliances for
forcing the sewage through the drain to the
creek. Those making the complaint say ii
Is caused by the connections made by prop
erty owners, who have turned so much
matter into the drain as TO obstruct IT.
The complaintants are urging the Board
of Works TO Immediately construct the
proposed East Michigan-street sewer
which will remedy the difficulty.

LAST MURPHY MEETING.
4 Large Crowd Present and Many
Earnest Testimonials

The temperance meetings which have
been conducted for the past ten days by
Francis Murphy. the temperance evangel-
fst at the Meridian-street NJ. z. Church,
closed last night. The church was well
filled and when the meeting was concluded
a great number signed the pledge. II was
Mr.. Mu-phy's birthday. He appealed to
those who have waited from night to night
20 make the step to take advantage Of the
last night of his meetings and many re-
sponded. There were a large number of
working men present with their wives
and many men who have been members of
the Murphy League for years We're called
upon during the evening to give testimo-
malls as 20 the good they have derived from
signing the pledge
One portly man of probably fifty years
made an earnest talk and his voice was
filed with emotion when he related the
curse liquor had been to him before he met
Mr.. Murphy and signed the pledge. He
said he would be happy IL he could only
wipe from his memory the days when he
was drunkard and went to his home un-
der the influence OF liquor and his wages
gone, having spent them over the bar. He
brought tears TO many eyes when he told
OF how his wife waited with a tear-stained
face at the window watching for him; how
she pleaded with him to give up the habit
but he only laughed at her saying IL would
never become such habit that he could
not give IL up IL he wanted to. He found
later that he thought he must have his
drink every day and steadily 1t increased
until he would always go to his home in
maudlin condition. But since he signed
the pledge he has a neat little home and
his wife always meets him with a smile in
otead OF with tears
Anosher man named Adams said he had
signed the pledge in 1855 during a Murphy
meeting, but before that time he had been
. regular street drunkard. His two
brothers had also been slaves TO drink and
tie three nearly broke their old mothers
heart. he said his wife had tried to get
him to stop drinking but her entreaties
were OF no avail. He attended the Muir
ply meetings and was saved. Other testi-
monials were given by men CT middle age
who had been drunkards during their lives
but hac signed the pledge Mr.. Murphy be-
fore closing asked that all the wearers Of
the blue ribbon continue the work during
hts absence and to get others TO sign the
pledge He said whole armies OF men
would follow a brave general and with
q few brave temperance men In this city
they may do away with the liquor business.

LAST GERMAN HOUSE CONCERT.
A Large Audience Appreciates the
Musical Treat.


The German House Orchestra and Musk
verein gave its last concert of the season
last evening at the German House to an
audience that completely filled the large
hall, foyer and balcony. And the audience
was as happy as it was large and thor
oughly enjoyed the excellent operate pro-
gramme given. Only one number failed to
receive due recognition and that was
Bizet's ''The Dance of the Hindoos" by the
orchestra 1t was one of the best numbers
and excellently played. The music is pecu-
liar. its weird minor progressions depicting
the nomadic life of the Hindoos and will
be better appreciated on scond hearing.
Two orchestral numbers that had to be re-
peated before the applause subsidized were
the ever-popular ''Intermezzo" (MascagnD;
with Miss Cora Daggett harpist and Mr..
Frank Keller at the organ. and the Indian
March" by Meyerbeer.
The E:oys' Brigade Band, twenty-five
strong. assisted in the latter number, and
while they and the audience had what
seemed an interninable wait until their
cue came. they made up fer lost time by
simply blowing the strings out of the
game and for once, at least, the violins
could not be heard. The overture TO "A

one OF the most pretentious choruses sung
