MINOR TOPICS.

Although young Mr.. Burnett Y. Tiffany,
of New York, has an allowance of SS4,650
year to live on, he does not consider the
sum sufficient for his personal expenses, and
he has sued his fathers estate for his full
share of the income. To the frugal West
erner this young mans ideas as to what he
needs to sustain life are interesting, espe-
cially as he says he has no bad habits, does
not drink or gamble, and is surely very
economical. His rent costs him $500. his
three servants land a man" another 81, 500,
his clothing $4,000, and his board $1,000 For
carriages and travelling expenses he needs
another 5000, and for "other expenses
necessary to comfort" $500 he thinks
reasonable estimate He does not say which
of these items he considers too small; pos
sibly he thinks they might all be increased.
And surely it does look as if the young man
should have more than miserable $4,000 a
year to spend on clothes. A Tiffany should
not be obliged to go in rags: and those lit
tie comforts that cost $500 should be ac-
companied by decent wearing apparel. To
be sure, there are hosts of young men in
New York who are doing very we'll on what
he gives his three servants and a man."
and they work for that; but they have not
his needs. for they have not his idleness.
The courts should see that young Mr.. Tif-
fanny is properly taken care of.

PLATFORM WELL WORTHY
 SUPPORT OF THE PARTY
Mr. Bryan Comments Every Plank and Regrets Only the 0ms sion of the Money Question, Which Was Important from
 Western Standpont-Says Trust Plank Good

by injunction, It fasors arbitration and the eight-hour day and denounees the methods that have been resorted to in the Colorado strike but as these blanks were added in the full committee some uncertainty exists as to the candidates position.
 "The platform declares in favor of the reduction of the army. Upon this the committee was unanimous. The sub-eom- mittee reported a plank in favor of an increase of the navy. but this was striex- en out in the full committee.
 ''The platform has a plank In favor of the enlargement of the scope of the in- terstate commerce commission and in favor of irrigation. The general clauses of the platform excite no dispute and the appeal against the introduction of a race issue ought to have weight with sober thinking Americans
 "On the whole the platform Is good. From a western standpoint its greatest defect is that it makes no mention of the money question. An attempt was made to secure plank opposing the melting of the silver dollar, opposing the asset currency and branch banks and ex- pressing a preference for the United States note Ordinarily known as the greenback) over the bank note, but hav- ing refused to put in a gold plank, the committee was not willing to have any phase of the money question alluded to. While the motion to reaffirm the Kansas City platform was vote down, there was a considerable vote in favor of it's re- affirmation, and the western members of the committee, together with few from the south, stood together and secured enough changes In the platform to make it a presentable document and worthy of the support of the party"

day made public the following A statement relating to democratic platform adopted at St. Louis;
 ''The plank on imperialism is positive, strong and safe to the entire party and this becomes the paramount issue of the campaign. The tarin plank is good but it was made so on close vote in the com mittee and largely against the opposition of Parker's adherents. The plank which was voted down favored a wise, conserva- tive and business like revision, made with due regard to existing conditions. The committee thought that these qualifying words emasculated the plank and left 1t so weak as to give no hope on tarin re- form.
 ''1'he antitrust plank is good one. It demands the enforcement of the criminal clause of the criminal law against the trusts; it demands the abolition of rebates and discriminations and it demands the withdrawal of the interstate commerce privileges from trusts when once con victed.
 grhe plank is infinitely superior to the republican plank and with a President who desired to destroy the trusts, would be a sufficient plank, but as this trust plank was also substituted by the full committee there is reason to fear that 1t may not be in keeping with the ideas of the candidate.

OFFICIALS ARE CRITICISED

Memphis, Tenn, July 14.-Ringing reso- lutions were unanimously adopted by largely attended mass meeting of citizens tonight. which, in substance, demand that lawlessness and crime must be rooted out of Memphis. Thee resolutions severely criticise certain public officials for not enforcing the laws and committee was named to visit these officials with re- quest that they make public statement as to what may be expected of them in the future. If the replies are not -satis- factory the committee is empowered to again assemble the mass meeting for fur ther action. sTonight's mass meeting was called at the instance of the committed of public safety, an organization formed here immediately after a recent local election which was fraught with disgrace ful scenes and riot. On last Monday night two deputy sheriffs were shot to death while raiding low gambling resort on DeSoto street.
 This tragedy created a tremendous local sensation and the safety committee inn medistely called a mass meeting of citi- zens. George Honan, Mike Haggerty, Budd Degg, Harry Hartley and Harry Keene, well known gamblers and men who have figured in local politics were arrested charged with the crime.
 United States Senator E. w Carmack was the principal speaker at tonights meeting He said that public sentiment was strongly aroused and threats of vio- lence had reached his ears. He counseiled all good citizens to respect the law and give the criminal court of this country their moral support. lie also offered to assist the attorney general in the prosecu- ton of the accused men. Other speakers followed and severely criticised Mayor Williams and Chief of Police Mason and the entire police department as being lax in their duty. The resolutions were offer ed and adopted without a dissenting vote.
 The Lyceum theatre was damned and fully 15O0 people were forced to remain outside. An overflow meeting was held in a public square where several speak CTS addressed the people.
 The overflow meeting resolution was adopted demanding the resignation of the mayor and vfce-mayor and the imme- diate removal of Chief of Police John J. Mason.
 This resolution was then presented to the main meeting in the theatre, but before motion for its adoption was put the chairman declared the meeting ad- journed.

:, T. PErERsRuRG. July 15.-Q:15 .

O T. PETERSBURG, July b.-(2:15 a.
 m)-The people of St. Petersburg V retired tonight in a happy frame of mind. The absence of a despatch from Lieutenant General Stoessel, commander of the military forces at Port Arthur, re- garding the reported destruction of the Japanese last Sunday night is generally attributed to the delay in communicating. The absence of private advices received in St. Petersburg from Russian sources in the far east is also thought to confirm the report of a Japanese repulse. Ac- cording to usually reliable source the Japanese losses were 2sO0 and the Rus sian losses 1S00
 The city remains in a ferment of ex- citement and extras are eagerly bought in the hope of finding the long expected despatch from General Stoessel. It was only late tonight that a despatch arrived, which, had it become generally known, would have tended somewhat to dampen the enthusiasm. This was despatch
