Attorney Folk, of St. Louis, but

Yet the grand jury Of st. Louis
says: High officials have con-
fessed to us to having paid brihes

and other state officials of the great
state of state of of Missouri should
not remain quiet while such expos
ures are being made.
One trouble seems to be that 80
many of the state officials and
Governors appointees have been
guilty Of receiving money from
corporations, that they are stopped
from expressing any approval Of
the exposure of bribery and cor
ruption. But it is Governor Dock

A Self-Repudiated Party.

Iowa's Democratic convention
is one of the first for 1903 and it's
action is interesting as an indica-
tion of what will be done by that
party next year. The Bryan ele-
ment was downed in Iowa, but the
contest was close. A plank pro-
position to reaffirm the Democratic
national platform was defeated in
the convention by 463 to 354. The
Democratic national platforms of
1900 and 1896 were essentially the
same. Both were for the unlimit-
ed coinage of silver without wait
ing for the aid or consent of any
other nation. Practically, the
Iowa Democrats, or at least half
of them, confess that their para
mount issue Of the last two prosi-
Dental campaigns was unsound
and that it is no longer worthy of
mention in Democratic gathering.
A change of sixty votes in the con-
yention of over 800 delegates would
have roaflirmcd the Kansas City
platform and kept the Bryan ele-
ment at tho fore among Iowa Dem
oerats for the campaign next year.
But the rcorganizers are now
slightly in the majority il the
state. Tho candidate for governor
is reorganizer, though Bryan
man until recently.
1t will take time to arrive at the
intentions Of the thrce-sevcnths of
the convention that stuck to the
free silver record of the party.
Bryan himself is irreconcilablc on
that point. He is distinctly for
the reaifirmation of the last nation
al platform and for war on the re.
organizers, chief among whom arc
the Democrats who worked and
voted against him. In the plaines'
language, Bryan has stated many
times that he will insist on the old
platform. He is in the prime Of
life and his temperament is aggres
sivc. Other Democratic state con-
ventions, like that in Iowa, may
repndia,e the principles of 1906
and 1896, bat in doing so they
must face party division, with one
wing under the yirile leadership OF

party out of II hopeless plight in
1896, and twice secured for it tho
largest popular vote it ever cast.
Bryan was beaten both times, but
without his aid and the fusion he
represented, the Democratic party
in the last two campaig gns would
have been a thing of fragments
and utterably incapable as fight
ing force.
BY vote of CPS to 1919, the
Iowa convention rejected resolu-
ton favoring government owner
ship Of railways. This action elm
mated what the Populistic voters
of Iowa most insisted on as part
of the platform. The reorganizers
in Iowa propose to make a fight
along their own lines without re-
gard to Organism or remnants of
Populism. AS II matter of course,
they must count upon Bryan's ac-
tive opposition. The majority Of
Iowa Democrats have repudiated
their party as conducted for seven
years. Cleveland will find moth
ing in the Iowa Democratic plat
form to interfere with his boom
for fourth nomination. Espec-
tally congenial to him is the blast
against the protection of American
industries. Judging from thei,
state convention, little more thar
half the Democrats of Iowa have
have condemned the past of theil
party. They are right on thai
point, and wrong in their Other
propositions. -Globe-De Democrat.

CURIOUS FOOD COMPOUND.
Old Bones, Alum, Flint and Sulphuric
Acid for Raising
Bread

Housekeepers have recently been soiic-
tied by some of the grocers and by
peddlers to try another kind Of baking
powder" cheaper and just as good" as
they say. This is another scheme of
some baking powder manufacturer to get
a new brand on the market by offering
the grocer a large profit. Housekeepers
are not usually much benefited by such
changes. Alum baking powders are
generally low priced, but they are we'll
known to be detrimental to health.
Large quantities of one of them were re-
Gently seized in New York, being found
to be largely composed of sharp-pointed
grains of ground flint and sulphuric acid.
Most of the so-called phosphate pow
ders are mixed with alum. The manu-
facturer Of phosphate powder has pat
ented the process of making the principal
ingredient of his powder from bones di-
gested with sulphuric acid.
Housekeepers do rot want such mix
lures in their food. They should never
encourage peddlers nor admit testers or
alleged experimenters in food within
their doors, and when buying baking
powder should get brand we'll known to
be made of cream of tartar, which is 4
healthful product of the grape.

Colombian Forces Reported to Have

Washington, D. c., Dec 19.-The navy
department has received cablegram
from Rear Admiral Glass at Panama, to
the effect that according to a report
which has just reached him from a
steamer the small force of Colombian
troops which had been discovered at the
mouth Of the Atrato river had sailed to
the northward in a Colombian gunboat.
Admiral Glass has not been able to verify
the report.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 19.-It was
stated at the navy department today that
the cruiser New York is under orders to
go to San Francisco as soon as repairs
are completed. After taking on supplies
there she will go to the isthmus to act
as Admiral Glass flagship. The admiral
has been temporarily flying his flag on

SEIZE PANAMA ISLE.
Colombian Army Takes Possession OF
Island Of Pines Near Gulf
Of Darien.

Colon, Dec. 21.-Information has been
received here that about 100 Colombian
troops have landed at the Island OF
Pines, northwest of Cape Tiburn, which
is situated at the western entrance of the
Gulf Of Darien. The Island of Pines Is
IN Panama territory and is the only
island along that coast which is wooded,
peaked with mountains and also we'll
Watered, thus offering every facility for
camping and being used as Il base OF OBJ
SeryatiGn.
1t is significant in this connection that
the United States auxiliary cruiser May
flower left this harbor yesterday bound
in the direction of the Island Of Pines,
to obtain confirmation Of the report
The United States gunboat Bancroft
is still on that coast, in the vicinity Of
Nombre de Dios.
The United States cruiser Nashville
has returned to Colon from Bocas del
Zorro
Rear-Admiral Coghlan has transferred
his flag to the United States auxiliary
cruiser Prairie.
Thirty-fve of the United States steam
er Prairie's marines were landed today
and took train for Bas-Obyspo station,
near Emperador. They will occupy the
canal company's house at Bas-Obyspo.
News Is Confirmed.
Washington, D. c., Dec. 21.-Oficial
confirmation has reached Washington Of
the landing of the Colombian troops on
the island of Lespinos, which lies close
to the coast of Panama. These troops
number eighty and they have taken up
a position on this high island with the
intention of making paths through the
jungles.
Think War Is Certain
Washington, D. c., Dec. 21.-Under the
impression that war is surely to occur
between the United States and Colombia,
the quartermaster general of the army
has been besieged by railroad and ship
ping men DESTROYS of transporting troops.
This impression among shipping men ex-
lists to a considerable extent abroad and a
number Of offers have come to the depart
ment from foreign ship owners rendering
their vessels as transports.
Navy to Control Situation.
It was pointed out today that while the
landing of marines on foreign soil occa-
sions but little comment and is only all
evidence Of a disturbed condition of af-
fairs the embarkation Of troops puts a
different aspect on the situation. For this
reason the navy will be permitted to con-
tinue to control affairs in isthmian waters
for the present at least, or until matters
reach a stage necessitating the co. opera
ton of the army.
