as wearing full beard (promissa barba)

been particularly loquacious, and, in

A Solid Front.


most harmonious convention of
Democrats in st. Louis this week
Every county in the State was
represented and an adj
dress to the Missouri Democracy
was unanimously adopted. The
address endorses all Democratic
administrations, renewing un.
shaken adherence to the great
principles of Democracy as enun
ciated in our latest national and
Stats platforms. This ought to
be pleasing to the friends Of Mr..
Bryan, for of course the endorse
ment includes the Kansas City
platform.
After exhaustive reference to
the period of Republican misrule
in Missouri, in striking contrast
to that indefensible record, the adj
dress then points with proud salts
faction to the splendid record of
the Missouri Democracy. The
following are quotations from the
address:
I'VE have lightened the burden
of taxation until the rate now lev
led is only one-half what it was
during Republican maladministra-
ton, and now is the lowest tux
rate imposed by any State in the
Union.
1.-THE enormous bonded debt
piled upon the people rs the result
of the fraudulent disposition by
Republican officials of securities
held by the State, aggregating in
principal and interest $40 900, 900,
has been reduced from year to year
until the entire amount, except the
81, 500, 900 held in trust for the
school funds, will be fully paid
during the next fiscal year; and
this great achievement has been
accomplished not by increasing,
but while constantly Decreasing,
the burden Of taxation.
1.-THE credit of the State, which
had been so debased that 6 and I
per cent bonds were begging mar
kets ut discount of 90 per cent,
has been restored and exalted un-
til today Missouri 81 per cent call
bonds will sell in any market at II
premium, and the credit of the
State is substantially at par with
that of the national government.
without adding to the burdens
of taxation, the Democracy has
steadily increased the school fund,
held as n sacred trust for the edu-
cation of our children, until now
it is the largest of any State i'll the
Union, and wisely invested i'll the
securities of the State itself, and
thus placed beyond the chance of
despoliation or depletion. In this
connection we call especial attcn-
ton to the fact that Democratic
administrations for years past have
annually returned to the people
one-third of the revenue collected
for State purposes, to be used in
the support of their district
schools, thereby reducing the bur
den of local taxation for that pur-
pose.

from 1895 to 1897. Since his retire
ment from office he has practiced law
in Little Rock. His political career
began in 1886, when he was elected to
the state legislature. He became presi-
dent of the state senate in 1891, and
was elected attorney general on the
Democratic ticket in 1892. He de-
clined a second term in this office to
become a candidate for governor. He
was elected after a contest notable in
the political history of the state. He
was born in YaZoo City, Miss, in 1854.
Senator Jones has been a factor in
Arkansas politics since 1873. In 1885
he was elected to the United States
!. senate, and was reelected in 1890 and
1897. He acted as chairman of the
committee on resolutions in the Demo-
cratic convention of 1896, and was aft
erward elected chairman of the nation
al committee. He served in the same
capacity at the Kansas City convention
in 1900. and was again chosen as ma
tional chairman. He was born in Mis-
sissippi and is a Confederate veteran.

And now comes the health officer Of
Louisville, KY. with a crusade against
limburger cheese. He says tx a alt who
sell and make the cheese will be prose-
cuted and fined to the fullest extent
of the law, and declares that limbur-
ger is u~nwholesome and that an exam
nation under an ordinary magn;fying
glass will prove to a blind man that it
contains many microbes. The health
officers case is weak, because as be-
tween the limburger and the micrObe
it is a case of choosing the least of
two evils, and that means the cheese
as a known quantity against the mi
crobe as the unknown one. However,
the country is thankful that this
health officer is SO considerable as not
to spring his crusade while Prince
Henry was among us. To have done
so would have strained the friendly
relations between America and the
Fatherland, and certainly have furn-
ished casus belli.

The proposition Of an amendment
election of u. S. senators by direct
vote of the people has made a great
advance among the people. A search
of the records of the Senate committee
on privileges has disclosed the fact
that 90 states have petitioned congress
for such an amendment. If all these
states had complied with the letter of
the constitution it would require only
one more state to force the constitu-
tional convention where the proposed
amendment could be adopted and af-
terward ratified by three-fourths of
the states.

MILES PHILIPPINE PLAN
Synopsis of the Proposals He Made and
Their Reception by Root
Tension Revealed.

E
Washington, March 31.-The CORE
spOndence between Secretary of War
Root and Lieutenant General Miles
resulting from the latter'S request that
he be permitted to assume control of
the army in the Philippines, was laid
before congress Saturday. The CORE
spondence reveals Enthusiastically the
tension between the lieutenant general
and the war departmnt. General Miles
proposed to go to the Philippines, TAX
inc with him Porto RicanS and Gu
bans, who were to show the EillplnOS
the beneficence of United States
government, and he was to bring back
representative Filipinos to confer with
the government. He claimed credit
forthe visit to Washington of the dele
cation from the Cuban constitutional
convention.
Secretary Root was evidently an
noyed at the generals proposal and
his reply is pretty sharp. 1t was also
condemnatOry of the plan and Of the
spirit of the generals letter. He also
declared hat it was General Wood
who arranged for t e visit to Wash
ington of the Cuban delegates. The
secretary also states that two years
g General Miles proposed that the
United States might send $4,000 SOL
diers to China-more than any other
one power proposed to send-and up
on that score claim command of the
allied forces. The secretary further
declared that General Miles requested
the war apartment TO obtain for him
the supreme command of the forces
that marched to the relief of the be-
sieged legations in Picking.
The president approves Roots in
dorsements on Miles communications,
including an imputation on Miles of
planning to get the last word and have
the whole matter published.
