The Prohibition party in national con-
vention at indianapolis, June 30, nomi-
mated Rev. DR.. Silas G. Swallow of Penn
sylvanis for President and George w.
Carroll of Texas, for Vice President.
The platform was adopted without argu-
ment after long deadlock 10 the reso-

[. 81. Ames of Oregon, secretary Of the
committee as the broadcast platform ever
placed before the people of the party.
Ia addition to the planks on the liquor
question it declares the party to be in
favor OF International arbitration, suf-
frage law based on mental and moral
qualifications, uniform laws for the
country and dependencies popular cleo
ton of senator's, civil service extension
and the initiative and referendum. The
trust question was recognized by de-
mand for rigid application of the prln-
ciples of justice to all organizations Of
capital and labor. A reform of divorce
laws is demanded and polygamy de-
nounced.

Cleveland's Bond Transaction.

Democrats and Democratic papers are
very profuse with their accusations oil
Jobs, steals, graft, corruption, etc., on
the part OF Republican officials. There
are too many instances of this kind and
we have no desire to shield any man
from the odium that attaches to ex.
posture of such practices or that punish.
ment all who engage IN them richly
deserve.
But Republicans are not the only sin
ners, nor the chief sinners. There is NO
room for doubt that New York city ia
the head center of official crookedness
and the place where corruption and
graft fourishes under the shelter OF
Tammany to an extent unknown else
where.
New York financiers engineered
with the Cleveland administration, In
1896, In the third bond issue by that ad.
ministration, a colossal scheme by which
the New York syndicate paid the gov.
eminent s65, III, 743 for s62 900, 600 In 4
per cent bonds and within half an hour
after 1t opened bids for them to the pub
lie sold these bond for S73 ,53l, 700, thus
making a profit of $s,4ls,75 Cleye-
lands secretary of the treasury might
easily have saved this great sum to the
government by opening the loan to the
public. The great apostle of Democracy
and his secretary of the treasury, John
G. Carlisle, allowed this New York syn
dictate of bankers to juggle the country
out of this immense sum of money and
the Democracy have had little to say
about it. The New York World, how
ever, vigorously fought the project and
offered to head the list with subscrip-
ton of $1,000,0 900 on per cent basis,
giving the administration the following
good advice:
thrust the people, Mr.. Cleveland
You can get all the gold you need In
Europe at l per cent or less premium.
You can get it in our own country with
out paying any premium at all. An
issue OF $4,000, 900 In bonds, ample
for present needs, would be subscribed
by the public many times over at 8 per
cent, or on 3 per cent basis. The
whole country will respond with like
alacrity. Europe will clamor for them.
Trust the people, Mr.. Cleveland, and
smash the ring"
This excellent advice was not needed
and the government suffered to the tune
of more than eight million dollars when
there was not the slightest need Of 1t.
So much for Democratic fnanciering.

swnl1own md Microbes.

Swallows and other migratory birds
invariably shun those places which are
in the slightest degree infected by
noxious microbes. Thus they are never
to be found In districts where cholera,
yellow fever, the plague and other cpl
demic diseases prevail. The districts
which they select rs their temporary
homes are in all respects the most
healthy that Gun be found. 1t is evil
dent from this that persons who are
afraid OF catching cholera or other In
fictitious diseases ought not to live in
places which are stunned by these
birds.
