Chicago Chronicle" regards this
as international recognition of the
industrial and commercial primary
of Chicago, and claims that in its
town, better than any other pro-
ducing and shipping center of the
country, "ideas essentially Ameri-
can can be assimilated." Still it
warns the French students of the
pernicious lessons of oyer-work
that will be forced on them in
Chicago.

Senator Hill,s PLATFORM.

Pittsburg Post.
In letter to Jacksonian cele-
bration David B. Hill, of New
York. in the way of toast. gave
out these sentiments as meeting
the faith of the Democratic party:
Z strict construction of the Fed
eral Constitution. No entangling
alliance with foreign nations. In
sistanoe upon the reserved rights
of the States. Public taxation for
public purposes only. Opposition
to monopolies and dangerous COM
binations of capital. The preser-
walton of the personal liberty of
the citizen. No Capitalization.
Home rule for states and munich
palities. These are Democratic
principles which survive all defeats
and must ultimately triumph.
This is Jeffersonian and embod-
les the faith of the Democratic
party from the beginning. 1t will
be seen that it excludes all refer
ence to the money and currency
questions, which Governor Hill re-
CARDS in their recent presentation
as obsolete questions, or dead is
sues. In way this is true, but
money and currency are never dead
issues in the broad and general
sense. Certain phases and policies
may become back numbers by the
judgment of the people. But there
are no public questions on which
differences are so apt to be devel-
oped by the changing conditions
of the times and especially the
mutations of business.
The money and currency ques-
tions cannot be considered as set
tied when there is strong interest
headed by the secretary of the
treasury advocating great change
in the National banking system,
as well as a change in the security
basis of the National banks from
Government bonds to one of bank
assets. The fact is we have very
few finalities in American politics,
relating either to financial affairs
or to the general course of govern
ment. We used to think the Dec
laration of Independence said the
last word on the rights of man,
that government derived it's just
powers from the consent of the
governed. but in the Philippines
we have set that aside, although
it is of UNNECESSARILY greater i'm
portance than anything relating to
currency and coinage.

Thomas Estrada Palm was prao-
tioally elected President of the Re-
public of Cuba on Tuesday, all the
electors chosen being for him. He
has had varied career. He took
part in the Cuban revolution of
1S6S-7S, and became President of
the Cuban Republic. He was cap
tured by the Spaniards in 1877 but
released the next year on ths close
of hostiIities. His mother was
captured early in the war and
starved to death by the Spauiards,
leaving him large estate, which
was confiscated. After his release
he went to Honduras, where he
became teacher, and afterwards
married a daughter of President
Guardiala. Eighteen years ago he
moved to Central Valley, Orange
county, New York, where he has
since resided. He was delegate-at-
large and minister plenipotentiary
of Cuba during the last war.
