THE RAMSEY LAW.
Farmers viii Make Another Test of
the Same.

the Same.
LINCOLN-Within a short time a
suit will be filed against the Union
Pacific railroad company in the SUI
preme court, asking for a peremptory
writ Of mandamus to compel the cor
poration to comply with the Ramsey
law. The Farmers Business associa-
ton of Shelby is the complainant and
the agriculturists will be represented
by J. o. Detweiler of Omaha.
The farmers will allege that there
are several old line elevator companies
located at Shelby and that the rail-
road discriminates in favor of them
and against the association. The as
ISOLATION recently applied to the COM
pany for railroad facilities, but was re-
fused. 1t also applied for permission
to purchase an elevator located at
Shelby and which was the property Of
the Omaha Elevator company, but this
also was refused. The petition alleges
that the Farmers Business association
is composed of $50 OF the substantial
farmers of the vicinity of Shelby and
that it would market more than 100000
bushels of grain each year.
This will be the third test of the
Ramsey law to be filed with the court,
the most important of which is the
action brought by the Farmers Grain
and Elevator company of Virginia,
Neb., against the Kansas City & North
western railroad. William Ramsey,
the author and introducer of the Ram
sey bill. is at the head of the Virginia
corporation.

will make fine farms. though those
lower down the list are not so desir-
able He reports that the Indians
seem to be choosing the rough wooded
section rather than those better suited

sky of the general staff in an inter-
view says:
THE result of the loss of Kin Chou
(Kai Ping) will probably be the
evacuation OF New Chwang.
General Kouropatkin's position is
more difficult than that which con-
fronted Lord Roberts in South Africa.
1T is as if Lord Roberts received
his supplies by rail via Constantine
pie, Cairo and Central Africa. 1t will
be long time before General Kouro-
patkin will have enough supplies and
men 20 assume the offensive. In the
meanwhile he will have to fight rear
guard actions, perhaps giving up i'm
portant positions, like New Chwang,
which are of vastl. more consequence
than Kai Ping.

LIGHT TURNED ON.
Why Judge Parker Sent the Famous
telegram.


Why Judge Parker Sent the Famous
Telegram.
ESOPUS, N Y.-Light was thrown
on the history of the now famous Par
ker telegram and the reply to it made
by the democratic convention at st.
Louis by close friend of Judge Par
ker, who declined to allow the use of
his name.
when Judge Parker retired at 9:45
Friday night" said this man, "he did
not know anything at all about the
financial side Of the platform which
had been agreed upon, more than was
outlined in the very brief bulletins
telephoned from Kingston. When in
formed by the Associated Press cor
respondent, at $3.50 a. M, of the bare
fact of his nomination, he knew no
more, and the first real knowledge
he had of the action of the convention
on the financial plank in the platform
was when he read the New York
morning papers. Immediately after
breakfast, that is to say, little after
9 o'clock, he started for q horseback
ride. Just before mounting his horse
telegram was handed him, giving q
concise outline of the platform. From
the moment of his reading of that tele-
gram 1t was noticed that he was very
much preoccupied, and as he rode off
his head was bowed as if in deep
thought.
About 1890 o'clock he rode up to
the railroad station, asked for tele-
grams and received quite bunch of
them. l happen to know that none of
them gave him the information he
wanted. He chatted with the report
ers for awhile, and it was afterward
recalled that some OF his questions to
them betrayed the fact Of his lack of
first-hand knowledge of the conven-
TONS action. He waited about the
station, almost irresolute in bearing,
for fully ten minutes, and then sud-
denly galloped back toward Rosemont.
An hour afterward his famous tele-
gram was filed with the operator, and
the remarkable series of events was
under way.

tossed and beloved with the sensation
he had produced he did not go early
to bed, as he had done the night be-
fore, although the local celebration in
his honor ceased and the people dis
persed as early as 1915 p. m. He sat
up until after a. m. closely watching
the bulletins, and made no move to-
ward retiring until after the action of
the convention on his telegram was
made plain to him.
AS he proceeded the sympathy of
his audience for the man who had lost
much of the power he had held, ad-
miration for his power as an orator.
and beneath it all that liking for the
man that endures In so many hearts
was manifest and contributed toward
the great silence of respect with
which he was heard.
Although he did not mention names,
Mr.. Bryan's address was manifestly
directed against Judge Parker, whom
he characterized as the candidate of
plutocracy. When he closed by Sec
onding the nomination of Senator
Cockrell Of Missouri, he was greeted
with rapturous cheers from the
startled supporters of that candidate.
His address occupied forty-seven
minutes, and at its finish even his we'll
tested physical strength was far gone.

FROM WI. BRYAN
WHAT HE SAYS ABOUT THE
DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
IT is REALLY A GOOD THING
Some Planks He Regards as Stronger
Than Others-lmperialis He
Thinks, viii Be the Leading Cam.
palgn Issue.

LINCOLN-W. j. Bryan on Thurs
day made public the following state
ment relating to the democratic plat
form adopted at st. Louis:
The plank on Imperialism is posi-
tive, strong and satisfactory to the
entire party and this question be.
comes the paramount issue of the
campaign.
The tariff plank is good but It was
made so on a close vote in the COM
mittee and largely against the oppo-
stion of Mr.. Parker's adherents. The
plank which was voted down favored
"a wise, conservative and business
like" revision, made with due regard
10 existing conditions" The commit
tee thought that these qualifying
words emasculated the plank and left
1t so weak as to give no hope to tar
iff reformers.
The antitrust plank is a good one
II demands the enforcement of the
criminal law against the trusts; it
demands the abolition of rebates and
determinations, and it demands the
withdrawal of interstate commerce
privileges from the trusts when once
convicted. The plank is infinitely su.
perior to the republican plank, and
with a president who desired to de-
stroy the trusts would be q 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
The labor plank is all that could
be desired. 1t declares against gov
eminent by injunction; 1t favors arbi-
tration and the eight-hour day, and
denounces the methods that have
been resorted to in the Colorado
strike, but as these planks were add
ed in the full committee some uncer-
tainty exists as to the candidates
position.
The platform declares in favor of
the reduction of the army. Upon this
the committee was unanimous. The
subcommittee reported a plank in
favor of an increase of the navy, but
this was stricken out in the full COM
mittee.
The platform has a plank in favor
Of the enlargement of the scope of
the interstate commerce commission
and in favor of irrigation. The gen.
eral clauses of the platform excite no
dispute and the appeal against the
Introduction of race issue ought to
have weight with the sober, thinking
Americans.
On the whole the platform is good.
From western standpoint it's great
est defect Is that it makes no men,
ton of the money question. An at
tempt was made to secure a plank op-
posing the melting of the silver dol
lar, opposing the asset currency and
branch banks, and expressing pref
erence for the United States note
Ordinarily known as the greenback),
but, having refused to put in gold
plank, the committee was not willing
to have any phase Of the money ques-
ton alluded to. While the motion to
reaffirm the Kansas City platform
was voted down there was a consider
able vote in favor of it's reaffirmation
and the western members of the COM
mittee, together with few from the
south, stood together and secured
enough changes in the platform to
make it presentable document and
worthy OF the support of the party.
