The Nebraska Democratic State
convention was held last week.
Delegates at large were chosen by
reclamation, the Hon. w. J.Bry-
au heading the delegation. Bryan
was on the resolutions committee
and wrote the platform adopted
which contained the following
points:
We, the Democrats of the state
of Nebraska, in convention assem-
bled, reaffirm our faith in Demo
cratic principles as those principles
were set forth in the last national
platform of the party, adopted at
Kansas City in 1900.
Democracy means the rule of the
people-a government resting mp
on the consent of the governed
and administered according to the
will and in the interest Of the pco-
pie. With an increasing love for
the principles Of Democracy and
an increasing confidence in their
final triumph, we look upon the
present time us opportune for their
earnest and courageous promulga-
ton, with chief executive who
has disregarded constitutional lin
itatiOns, stirred mp antagonism be-
tween the races, employed all the
powers of his Office to secure a ire
nomination and purchased political
support by turning the treasury de-
partment over to the fnanciers
and putting the law department
into the hands of trusts. With

such a chief executive and Repub-

the country imperatively needs a
return of the government to posi-
lively and clearly defined priuci-
pies. Democracy, as taught by
jefferson aud exempli fed by Jack
son, is the hope of the republic
and offers the only relief from the
plutocracy which now dominates
the Republican party, and, thru
that party, the country.
The Democracy would oppose as
inimical to the welfare Of the peO-
pie all private monopOlies and
would exterminate them by the
enforcement of the remedies sug-
gested in the Kansas City plat
form.
The Democracy would relieve
the country of the menace of mill
tarism and imperialism by fol-
lowing the example set by this
country in its dealing with Cuba
aud giving the Filipinos immedi-
ate promise of ultimate independ-
ence.
The Democracy would restore
the tariff to revenue basis and
administer il for revenue only,
thus demolishing the legal bull
warks behind which the predatory
trusts have found refuge.
Democracy would make the tax

PERMANENcE OF CURE
The Chief Merit.

Many so-called pile remedies will af-
ford the user slight temporary relief,
and the majority OF sufferers do not
EXPECT moro than this. Women esPec-
failv. after having tried every prepara-
lion recommended for the cure of Piles,
have come 10 the conclusion, that there
is ao cure except by an operation. This
is rightfully viewed with dread, be-
cause of the shock to the delicate
nervous system Of women, and many
of those afflicted. have resigned them
selves To the situation with never n
thought that there is any help In sight
Tor them
We invite the attention of all such
TO the experience of the lady whose ad-
dress is given below.
Il feel IL my duty TO recommend the
Pyramid Pile Cure. for after suffering
ten years with a most distressing form
of Piles, L am entirely cured. thanks
10 this remedy. Any one doubling this
can write 10 Margaret Brady, 156 Whit
man ST.. Cleveland, Ohio"
Ten months later she writes: Il am
glad TO say that I am still perfectly free
from piles, and have not had the
slightest trouble since I first used your
remedy. j am well known in Cleveland
and have advertised Pyramid Pile Cure
extensively here. take pleasure in do
ing so as II saved me from an opera
tion, which 7 always dreaded, and you
are assured the remedy can have no
frmer advocate than l.
Testimony Ike this should convince
tire most skeptical. that Pyramid Pile
cure not only cures, but cures to stay
cured. IL II in the form Of a suppose
tory; can be applied ia the privacy OF
the home, directly to the parts affected,
and does its work quickly and pain
lesslv.

Admiral Stark's detailed reports Of
the attempt 70 bottle up the Russian
feet at Port Arthur, Feb. a, and the
engagement Of Feb %, says:
The japanese steamers intended 10
be sunk in the roadstead were fire
ships of the deadliest sort. being soaked
with petroleum and sprinkled with coal
dust. \ large quantity of calcium car
bide on board the ships prevented the
possibility of quenching the flames. One
OF the ships burned for a week. The
Russians were also seriously hampered
in the pursuit with torpedo boats ow-
ing TO the fear OF floating mines among
the wrecks in the roadstead.
Charts found aboard the hulks showed
the spots where it had been planned 70
sink them, ana also the exact position
of the battleship Retvizan.

THE POPULAR HERO.
Admiral Makaroff's Name on Every
Rue-ian Tongue.

Rue@ian Tongue.
st. Petersburg, March 12.-Admiral
MakarOff's name Is on every lip in
St. Petersburg today. He is the hero
OF the hour. The details of Thurs
days lighting in Port Arthur did not
become public until this morning, when
eager crowds, unmindful of the heavy
snowfall, gathered about Viceroy Alex
iefrs bulletins. which were posted at
every corner. The sorrow over the loss
OF the Russian torpedo boat destroyer
was swallowed up by the admiration
caused by the daring exploit of the
Russian naval chief in
going personally to her rescue.
There is a deep seated conviction that
henCeforth there will be a complete
change OF sea tactics. Admiral Maka-
RON viii make the fleet at Port Ar
thur an aggressive force. He enjoys
the reputation throughout the length
and breadth Of the empire OF being n
dashing officer who delights in bril-
liant achievements. and his. action of
Thursday adds to his laurels as a
bold and fearless fighter who loves to
take the chances OF war.
Armor His Aversion.
Ills ideas run counter 10 those gen
orally accepted by naval experts and
sJrategists. one of his pet diversions
is arTnor. The admiral is ever out
spoken In his criticism of the heavy
hattelship, which he has always con-
tended placed too many eggs in a
single basket, and shows his partial
ity for a llect composed Of a large
number Of swift, unarmored cruisers,
armed with heavy guns and attended
by an unlimited number OF torpedo
boats The protected cruiser Novik.
.o which he transferred his flag in the
attempt 10 rescue the torpedo boat
dcstroyers, is practically without al
NOR protection.
"Cossack of the Sea-"
Admiral Makaroff's prediction for
swift ships has earned him the sObrl-
guCt OF the "C0ssack of the Sea" He
Is not likely 70 give the enemy much
rest while any Of his cruisers or tor
prdO boats remain anoat Something

islands. for instance. would be such
a thing as The admiral would under

With regard to the situation in San

TOTALLY UNPREPARED.
Japs Might Have Destroyed the
Whole Russian Fleet.


Berlin, March IA letter from a
German resident of Port Arthur, dated
Feb. Is. was published today. The
writer describes the boundless embit-
terment of all classes against the Jap
anese the day after the first night
attack and explains that the Russians
were exercising that evening and the
japanese torpedo boats were taken for
Russians" Continuing, the letter says:
The Russian officers shared with
the japanese in the general feeling of
indignation here. two thirds of the
former having obtained shore leaves.
some of them calling on Madame Stark,
wife of Admiral Stark, to congratulate
her, according to the Russian custom,
on the anniversary of her name day,
while others were at the theatre, at
their homes or visiting comrades. The
officers found by the police sent in
search Of them reached their ships only
after the japanese had withdraw.
The writer of the letter declared that
the japanese would have destroyed the
whole squadron if they had attacked
that evening with their entire force,
and the Russians had not even dis
tributed ammunition to their batter
les.
The explosion of shells I'm the attack
the Following day smashed the win
dows in the exposed parts of the city
and occasioned much alarm. The ma
jority of the Inhabitants passed the
ensuing night in the open air.
Prices rose feverishIy. bread became
unattainable and cabmen demanded s.
for a l5-cent ride.
Rouble notes, which hitherto have
been worth 10 per cent more than
Mexican dollars. were. at the time the
letter was sent, at par with them.

JAPs USE LYDDITE.
Great Britain Accused of Furnishing
the Explosive.

Toxic. March 1.-THE condition Of
the wounded Russians treated at the
Japanese Red Cross hospital, who do
not show any unusual symptoms. is
thought here 10 prove that there is no
truth in the Russian allegation in re-
gard 10 the preliminary poisonous ma
ture OF the gaseous exhalations from
the japanese shells and torpedoes.
That statement In the Russian report
that the Japanese used Iyddite in the
bOmbardment Of Vladivostok is be-
lieved to have been made with the OBJ
ject Of conveying the impression that
Great Britain supplied this explosive.
The report that Russia is sending
submarine hoats overland to the far
east is much commented upon, observ-
ers facetiously recalling the Russian
emperor's proposal at The Hague peace
conference that the use OF submarine
boats ought to be condemned as being
unCiViliZed.
