SHE WROTE LITTLE DROPS OF
WATER"
Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean
And the pleasant land.

ana the pleasant land.
There are many people who do not
know the first verse of America"
and some who cannot say the ten
commandments, but there are very,
very few in the United States who
cannot repeat at least the first stanza
of Little Drops of Water"
Who knows anything about the
author? Yet Mrs. Julia A. Carney,
the author Of what is probably the
most popular poem that has ever
been written in America, is still alive;
but she is nearly 81 years old now.
AS Mrs, Carney tells it, the story of
the way she came to write "Little
Drops of Water" is as strange as it is
interesting. The greater part of it
was dashed off hurriedlY as a school
exercise, was written in less than ten
minutes, and handed in by her (then
quite young woman) as an example
of shorthand work.
"In 1916 I was teaching in primary
school in Boston," she says, land was
writing verses and little tracts for
religious papers. A friend who pub
lished Sunday school tracts for the
Universalist church asked me to
write something for his scholars, so l
sat down and wrote a Letter to
Sabbath-school Children in which I
urged them to remember the little
things of life.
The whole world is made up of
little things said. Il will put this
in rhyme for you'-and I ended with
the first verse of Little Drops of
Water
1.-THE next morning I was taking a
lesson in shorthand, when the
teacher asked US to write something
original in shorthand. I at once
thought of the little poem in my
pocket, so I wrote the first verse over
in short and and then added on the
other three. I handed it in, hurried
Off to school and taught all the morn
ing. At noon I gave it to my friend,
who published it in The Gospel Teacher.
That is how it first saw the light.
The Gospel Teacher is still published,
only it is now called The Myrtle.
After marrying the Rev. Thomas J.
Carney, she lived for time in Maine
and Cooperstown, N. Y, but in 1851
they set their faces toward the great
West. Mr.. Carney became the minis
ter of church in Chicago for some
years, then he went to Beloit, Wis,
and from there to Sycamore, ILL.,, a
stronghold of Universalism. In 1858
they moved to Galesburg, ILL.,, where
they made their permanent home,
and there Mrs. Carney now lives with
her two sons, Fletcher and James
Carney. She has never lost her
interest in children or in the writings
of other people, and she still believes
as she did many years ago, that
Little deeds of kindness,
Little words of love,
Help to make earth happy
Like the heaven above.

The famous telegram of Judge Par
ker caused Il sensation among the
Democrats. 1t was received by w. f.
Sheehan Of New York, the chief or
ganizer of the Parker campaign, and
startled that usually calm and cool
headed politician as he had never been
moved before. His first step was to
show it to David B. Hill, who read it
and said: Il don't believe that it is
genuine dispatch, and wouldn't bother
about it." To settle that doubt, Shee-
han said he would call up Judge Par
ker on the telephone He did so, and
it was Immediately verified by the
ESopus judge.
AS sent and verified the telegram read
as follows:
Hon. w. F. Sheehan, Hotel Jeffer-
son, st. Louis:
II regard the gold standard as firm
~ and irrevocably established and shall
act accordingly If the action of the
| convention today shall be ratified by
the people.
LAS the platform is silent on the sub
ject, my views should be made known
to the convention, and if 1t is proved
to be unsatisfactory to the majority, l
request you to decline the nomination
for me at once, so that another may be
nominated before adjournment,
"A. ). Parker"
After a conference of the party lead
ers their united wisdom brought forth
the following draft of the reply, to be
offered to the convention for approval
before sending:
The platform adopted by this con-
ventiOn is silent on the question of the
monetary standard because it is not
recognized by us as a possible issue
in this campaign and only campaign is

2. We favor honesty in the public ser

public service, and to that end a thorough
legislative investigation of those executive
departments of the government already
known to TEEN with corruption, as well as
corruption, and the punishment Of ascer'
tanned corruptionists without fear or favor
or regard to persons. The persistent and
deliberate refusal of both the senate and
house of representatives to permit such in

only by change in the executive and in
the legislative departments can complete
exposures, punishment and correction be
obtained.

THE PLATFORM
A Victory For Bryan by the VOt-
ing Out of the Gold Plank

The convention unanimously adopted
a platform, without one dissenting
voice. This came after a stormy SEES
sion before the committee on resolu-
tons, where Hill, Bryan. Daniel and
Tillman fought the battle out with the
result that the gold standard plank
which Hill wanted and the income tax
plank which Bryan wanted We're botn
stricken cut.
The platform is compromise &C
ceptable to all of the interests involved
and was adopted unanimously by the
committee. 1t may be said in general
to have been a concession to the
Bryan wing of the party without in any
way stultffying the declarations of the
conservatives. The absence of any
announcement upon the financial queS-
ton is most significant and discloses
the utter impossibility Of finding any
declaration upon this subject acceptable
to all.
Following is the gold plank that
Bryan forced out of the platform:
THE discoveries of gold within the
| past few years and the great increase IN
| the production thereof, adding two
| thousand million dollars to the worlds
supply, of which seven hundred million
| falls to the share of the United States,
have contributed to the maintenance
of money standard of value, no longer
open to question, removing that issue
from the field of political contention"
Following is the platform:
Ccn:empts In Federal Courts
/ We deny the right of any executive t.
| disregard or suspend any constitutions
| privilege or limitation Obedience to the
laws and respect for their requirements
are alike the supreme duty of the citlZeI
and the official.
The military should be used only to sup
port and maintain the law. We unqual1
fedly condemn it's employment for thu
summary Punishment of citizens withOu
trial or for the control of elections.
We approve the measure which passed
the United States senate in 1896, bu
which Il Republican congress has eve
since refused to enact, relating to con
tempts in federal courts and providing fo
trial by jury in cases of indirect contempt

For Civil Service Reform

The Democratic party stands committed
to the principles Of civil service reform,
and we demand their honest, just and imT
partial enforce ment
We denounce the Republican party for
its continuous and sinister encrOachment
upon the spirit and operation Of civil serv-
ice rules. whereby it has arbitrarily dis
pensed with examinations for office in the
interests Of fayorites and employed all
manner OF devices TO oyer-reach and set
aside the principles upon which the civil
service was established.

The Trust Evil

Individual equality of opportunity and
free competition are essential to a healthy
and permanent commercial prosperity, and
any trust. combination or monopoly tend
ing to destroy these by controlling produc-
tion. restricting competition or fixing
by law. We especially denOunce rebates
and discrimination by transportation COM
panies as the most potent agency in pro
noting and strengthening these unlawful
conSpiracies against trade.
We demand a strict enforcement of ex-
lsting civil and criminal statutes against
all such trusts combinations and monopo-
lies and We demand the enactment Of such
further legislation as may be necessary To
sffectually suppress them.

Revision of Tariff

We denOunce protection as a robbery of
the many to enrich the few, and we favor
a tariff limited to the needs of the gov
eminent. economically administered and
so levied as not to discriminate against
any industry. class or section, to the end
that the burdens of taxation shall be dis
tributed as equally as possible.
We favor a revision and a gradual reduc-
ton of the tariff by the friends of the
masses for the commonwealth. and not by
the friends of its abuses, its extortions
and its Determinations, keeping in view
the ultimate ends of equality of burdens
and equality of opportunities and the
constitutional purpose of raising a revenue
by taxation, to wit, the support of the
federal government in all its Integrity and
Yirility, but in simplicity.
