Say That the Party Must Return to Its
Old Principles if Former Victories
are to be Secured.
! SEN. DANIEL PAVORS new PLATFORM.
President GOOde and Eppa IluntOn Are
Openly Opposed to Bryan and His
Theories s-Sentiment of the
Convention is Practically
Unanimous.

"Democracy should look to the future
and not be bound by past platforms and
traditions. The next platform should
meet the conditions of today and not ca
ter to issues that are of the past. Sen
ator John w. Daniel.
The action of the Ohio Democrats in
repudating free silver is universally com
mended by the party leaders of Virginia.
This sentiment is reflected by the men,
bers of the Constitutional Convention in
no uncertain tones. There is scarcely a
man of any prominence IN the body that
does not freely express himself on the
subject
In speaking of the hopes of the DEM
ocratic party for the future, President
Goode. the old war-horse of the party in
Virginia today said:
"In repudiating free silver the Ohio
Democrats did the only sensible thing.
Our party has been hanging to this eco
nomic fallacy too long. 1t was the dream
of an ideaIist and never inspired the con-
fidence of the majority of the party
"By following the leadership Of Mr..
Bryan and his theories the party has twice
gone down to defeat. The next platform
should contain a sound-money plank so
that the business interests Of the country
NAV return to the party. This wandering
after strange gods has disrupted Demo-
cracy to such an extent that complete
reversal must be made if we wish to Sc
cure success.
"The old principles of Democracy are
abundantly suitable for the present time.
Victories of the past were won because the
people had confidence in the principles Of
the party. This confidence will return by
following the old teachings"
Senator Daniel, in speaking of The Ohio
platform, said:
"The hope of the Democratic party lies
in the future. We should meet present
conditions and not be bound by past
platforms. The Ohio Democratic platform
seems to be an effort in this direction"
Mr.. Eppa Hunton, Jr., of Fauquier,' ls
very pronounced in believing that silver
must be dropped by the Democratic party
He more than any other man Reflects the
sentiment of his section Of Virginia. In
speaking of the platform adopted by the
Ohio Democrats today, he said:
"In repudiatng free silver the Ohio
Democrats have done what the entire
party should have done before the Kansas
City convention. 1t is dead issue anC
was never sound proposition. Th'
sooner we get away from Organism the
better for the party"
A reporter of the Richmond News
Saturday practically canvassed the entire
convention, and with but few exceptions
the members who are prominent in pubh'
affairs are convinced that the Democratl
party must break loose from its presen
teachings. That silver must 60 is unan
imously acknowledged.
While the Lighest regard is expressed
for Mr.. Bryan, he is no longer looke'
upon as a leader. The Virginia leader
are of the opinion that Bryan means fire
silver and Bryanism and that both mus

THE LATEST.

That is very interesting and inn portant announcement made by Presi- dent Cassatt of the Pennsylvania rail- road. He says his company is now pre- pared to carry out its policy, long since adopted, of extending its railroad into New York city. And a company was incorporated at Albany yesterday to operate railroad line through an un- derground tunnel connecting New Jer- sey with Long Island. The proposed road will extend from New Jersey through tunnel under the North river, borough of Manhattan and East river to the borough of Queens and termin- ate at point near the property of the Long Island railroad company in that borough.
 This is truly a big scheme and one which will be very useful to the travel ing public and to business. Will the next thing be a tunnel from the end of Long Island to Europe?

COAL IN CHINA.

In these days of high-priced and
 know that there is much coal in China.
 Investigations and estimates made by an expert show that the lower and big
 coal beds in all the coal fields, from the Kaiping basin in eastern Chili to the
 Tsechou field in southeastern Shansi, lie on an average from 150 to 300 feet
 above the carboniferous limestone.
 Each of these fields is only part of a
 greater field. The apparent average
 thickness of the principal coal bed of
 each of the fields is: For Kaiping,
 eighteen feet; for Wangping, thirty five
 feet; ;' for Fangshan, twenty feet; for
 Pingting, twenty feet, and for Tsechou,
 twenty-two feet. Supposing these fields to represent equal areas, there is gen.
 eral average of twenty three feet for the whole region. This belt has a linear extent of about five hundred miles. Taking a width of only fifty miles, and supposing that, because of denuded areas, only one-half is coal-bearing, we still have 12,50O square miles of coal. This would give about 350,000, 900 tons, which would be enough to supply the world at it's present rate of consump- tion, for many centuries. It is doubted whether the coal fields above noted rep resent average conditions along the whole of this extensive belt, but the figures given are generally accepted, If all the workable beds instead of the one big bed were considered the esti- mated totals would have to be very much increased. In the kaiping coal field the lower bed contains only about one third of the workabl coal; in the Wangping basin it contains a much smaller proportion, but in the other fields it covers most of the workable | coal.
 Coal in China is afar off, but coal is i coal nowadays wherever it is.

try twenty-five strokes with the left hand.
 Strike with the greatest regularity possible. Then alternate one punch with the right and another with the left. But keep at it. Don't exercise an hour one day and then forget all about it for a week.
 There are fancy strokes, and these may be learned in time, as, for instance, punching the bag with the right elbow, alternating with punches from the left fist, and vice versa. Another a little more difficult is the elbow punch with alternating upper arm and under arm thrusts with the fist.
 Still other combinations will suggest themselves. Gradually the punches can be made faster and faster till the bag will beat regular tattoo on the frame work overhead.

DISAPPOINTED.

The Boston Associated Board of Trade isn't any better satisfied with the reciprocity situation than some other folks are. William B. Rice, who repre- sented the board at the convention, re- ported the other evening at a public meeting that the high tariff men car ried everything with a firm control of the proceedings. He said that the hon. est friends of reciprocity were in the majority, but that the "let-the- tariff alone" crowd was organized and suc- ceeded in killing reciprocity for the of the convention results in an early establishment of department of com merce and industries a great work will have been well done, but the resolutions will hardly satisfy the millions of thinking citizens who had been led to hope that something might be done to- ward crystallizing into law the broad, comprehensive, patriotic utterances of President Mckinley in the last year of his life.
 It will be slow work to convince the protected ones that reciprocity will be good for them-so slow that perhaps the people will have to act before they are convinced. Just now the people seem to find some difficulty in acting.

do more to reduce her weight and pre- serve good figure than by observing rigid diet for six months.
 Bag punching develops the chest, neck and shoulders and reduces the waist. It exercises every muscle, gives thin women curves and makes stout women thin.
 If woman has a poor complexion the exercise will give her the tints of peaches and cream. if anything will. The object of all exercise is to make the blood circulate rapidly and well, and bag punching does that to perfec- ton.
 Unlike fencing, bag punching re- quires no instructor, yet its advocates say it will make woman just as grace ful and as light on her feet as the other exercise. She will learn to boise and balance herself and this will give her a springy step and an easy and graceful carriage. Unlike fencing, too, no an- tagonist is reuired. That is another strong point in favor of bag punching.
 Last of all the outfit is inexpensive. Ten dollars will buy a first class light punching bag with framework support; St Leilliy SoOu Oilc Cdli pe 1du Aoi SNSiA less.
 The only other thing necessary is pair of light weight boxing gloves which may be bought for a dollar.
 The exercise can be taken in any cos tune just as well as in the most up-to- date gymnasium garments. And wo- man will derive almost as much benefit from awkward bag punching if she keeps at 1t, as she will from the real scientific kind.
 These are the rules of the punching contest as laid down by an authority:
 Suspend the bag on the level with the shoulders and strike straight out from the shoulder. This stroke brings into play greater number of muscles than any other tends to expand the chest and gives god boise to the neck.
 Always hit the bag, if possible, a tri- fle above the center and this will pre- vent a rebound and bruised nose. This will be best understood with prac- tice.
 Ten minutes day is long enough for the average woman, but twenty min utes will be better if she wants to re- duce weight rapidly. Punch the bag twenty-five times with the right arm swing, rest few moments and then

PEACEFULLY INCLINED.

There ought to be peace and harmony be more than there has been. For the first time since the division of the relig- ious Society of Friends, members from all over the United States representing all three factions-Orthodox Hicksites, and Wilburites-will meet together to- day, the occasion being the American Friends Peace Conference, to be held in Philadelphia, December 12, 13 and IA. All the Quakers agree on the subject of peace, whatever be their differences on other subjects, and there is hope that the Philadelphia meeting may result in a reunion of the factions. The Society came into existence in 1850, through the activity of George Fox. In 1927 breach occurred which was more serious than those preceding and had a lasting ef- feet. The opposing parties, though re- maining members of the Society, be- came knownas Orthodox and Hicksites, to distinguish them. During the decade between 1840 and 1850, a division in the Orthodox party resulted in still anoth- CT branch, called the Wilburites These have remained separate, each faction maintaining it's own schools and col leges. Swarthmore College and Friends Central School are Hicksite institu- tions. Haverford College and Friends Select School are maintained by the Orthodox branch.

COUNTY BOUNDARIES
Point Raised that May Affect
Counties East of the
River.

Tribune: Before Judge Winchester on
August 81 appeared Attorneys Register
of Bismarck and ]. B. Kerr Of St. Paul,
to argue a motion to make permanent a
injunction in the case of Con-
rath VS.. Krukeberg, the latter as sheriff
of Mercer county. This is a case which
involves the same points as the Shaffner
case recently decided by the supreme
court, except that it involves taxes col
lected in TERRITORY addedto Mercer county
UNDER the law of 1891, and brings up
the question of the constitutionality of
the 1891 county boundary act, and in
cidentally involves the legality of the
boundaries of Mercer, Mclean, Ward
and 81 several other counties whose bound
aries were changed under the 1891 law.
In thf: Shaffner case, the supreme court
decided that the 1891 act was unconsti-
tutor nal, but held against the plaintiffs
on the ground that the allegations stated
were not sufficient to sustain the remedy,
sought for, viz: injunction. In the present
case, the plaintiffs allegef facts which they
claim will sustain the injunctional rem
edy. and the case will go finally to the
supreme court as a test of the 1891 law.
No appearance was made for Mercer
county in the case today, although States
Attorneys Johnson of Ward and McCul-
Tough of Mclean were present, as their
counties will be among those affected If
the 1891 law is held to be invalid. In
view Of the importance of the case,
Judge Winchester continued it until the
first day of the next Mercer county term,
when the plaintiffs will be given an OPP
p%ortunity to make proof Of the allega-
tions in their complaint, and the states
attorneys of the other coun ties interested
will have an opportunity to be heard on
the points affecting their counties. The
case will go ultimately to the supreme
court, in all probability, as a test of the
constitutionality of the la,g of 1901, and
of the status of the boundaries OF the
counties shat were changed by that law.
The 1901 law is identical in title, with
the 1895 law, which was held invalid be-
cause Of the title. If the supreme court
follows the same reasoning as in the
1895 decision, the 1891 act will probably
not be sustained. There are other ques.
tions of rights that may become vested
bv the fact that the 1891 law has re-
manned. uncontested for over ten years,
These points will make an interesting
case, a md one of vital importance, that
will b: followed closely by the entire
state. =
