 MxI Guffey evidently chafed kRder these sharp thrusts, but Nhe did not admit that he was not acting for himself, or for his delegation, but at the request of Senator Hill, who had yielded to the protest of the Southerners against the nomination of a man so lately out of the Republican camp as hardly to be naturalized lin the Democratic party. MT. Hill himself was inclined tc think that the nomination o1 Turner would be understood as a concession to Bryan, and Wed. nesday night after seeing the |lukewarm reception accorded Bryan in the convention hall, he was in no mood for concessions. ! It was this order which aroused the ire of Millionaire
 Senator Clark. The senator
 himself has a large stake in the
 game this year. His present
 term in the Senate does not ex- pire until 1907, but no man knows better than he that the backbone of the Democratic ma
 jority in Montana is the Repub- : lican vote which came to it on the silver issue, and which is now drifting slowly back to its old party allegiance.

ASsAA r ScSAA VI NA SRSAA NOA for the prld's commerce in the Orient without unnecessary en- tanglement in Oriental and Eu- ropean affairs and without arbi- trary, unlimited, irresponsible and absolute government any, where within our jurisdiction.
 We oppose as fervently as did George Washington himself an indefinite, discretionate and vague absolutism and a policy of colonial exploitation, no matter where or by whom invoked or exercised.
 "Welieve with Thomas Jeffer- son and John Adams that no government has a right to make one set of laws for those at home and another and different set of laws, absolute in their character, for those in the colo nies.' All men under the Ameri- can flag are entitled to the pro- tection of the institutions whose emblem the flag is. If they are inherently unfit for those institu- tions then they are inherently unfit to be members of the American body polite.
 Wherever there may exist a people incapable of being goy- erned under American laws in consonance with the American constitution, the territory of that people ought not to be a part of the American domain.
 We insist that we ought to do for the Filipinos what we have already done for the Cubans, and it is our intent as soon as it can be done wisely and safely for the Filipinos themselves and after amicable arrangements
 vith them concerning naval sta- rions and upon suitable guaran- tees of protection to all national and international interests, to set the Filipino people upon their feet, free and independent, to work out their own destiny.
 "The endeavor of the secre- tary of war, by pledging the governments endorsement for promoters in the Philippine Islands, to make the United States a partner in speculative exploitation of the archipelago, which was only temporarily held up by the opposition of Demo- cratic senators in the last ses- sion, will, if successful. lead to a permanent entanglement from which it will be difficult to escape.
 ABOUT THE PLATFORM.
 Senator Hill and William J. Bryan came out together after adjournment and both. were smiling. MT. Bryan said to the newspaper men, "Now, boys, be sure and get Hills platform right" and Hill retorted, with a l laugh, "I think we will have to share honors on that" Mr. Bry- an said: We are all satisfied. We have all wanted some things put in that the committee reject ed, but on the whole the docu- ment is perfectly satisfactory. You know you can't get every thing you want. l am fairly we'll satisfied with the platform. 1 have had opportunity to present some matters as l desired and have had to make concessions in some instances in order to get what wanted in others. 7
 Will you support a ticket on this platform" was asked of him.
 T will certainly support the platform" was his reply, and this was said in a way to convince his interrogator that he fully ex- pected to be able to support both platform and ticket.

continued for thil minutes, but the ballot was no reached until more than six ho1 Is later. The convention hen adjourned after it's famous ,yll-night session until 2 o'clock dhis afternoon, when the vice-prdsidential candi- date will be nameH.
 Dr. Swallow, the Prohibition nominee for president sent the following messa \e to Bryan after he had beel turned down in the St. Louis ? 0emocratic con- vention: .
 My Dear Bryan: Read Num- bers, 10th chapter, 18th verse. Come. ;" Following is the verse: And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel, the Midianite, Moses father-in-law, we are journeying into the place of which the Lord said, l will give it you; come thou, with us, and we will do~ thee good, for the Lord has spoken good concern ing Israel"
 Here is what the platform says in part upon the financial plank thereof:
 ''The discoveries of gold with l in 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 Limited States, has, contributed to the maintenance of a money standard of value no longer open to question, removing that issue from the field of political con- tention. <
 l But when they got down to the, trusts and other financial combinations the deliberations took on a more serious aspect and the committee delivered it. 1 self of this bit of we'll worded aphorism:
 We recognize that the gigan-
 tic trusts and combinations de- signed to enable capital to secure
 more than it's just share of the joint product of capital and labor, and which have been fostered and sprouted under Republican rule, are a menace to beneficial com petition and an obstacle to per
 manent business prosperity. We demand the vigorous and impartial enforcement of the
 laws already made to prevent and control such trusts and combina- tions, and we favor such further legislation in restraint thereof as experience shows to be neces-
 sary.
 Corporations chartered by au- thority of the people must forev-
 CT remain subject to regulation in the interest of the people.
 "A private monopoly is inde-
 fensible and intolerable. We re-
 cognize the right of capital, in all
 legitimate lines of enterprise, to
 combine for the increase of busi-
 ness, for enlarging productive
 capacity and for discussing the cost of production; but when
 such combination, in it's purpose
 or effect, creates or tends to ere. ate a monopoly in it's productions,

 petition; to increase cost to the
 consumer, or to control the mar

 laws, becomes inimical to pubic
 welfare and peace, and should be so regulated, controlled or pro. hibited by law as to amply pro- tect the public interests.

HIGH WATER IN ARKANSAS
Steady Rise of rknns River Has

Little Rock, Ark, June ia special
to the Gazette from Pine Bluff says:
The steady rise of the Arkansas riv-
er has resulted in flooding nearly all
Of Jefferson county adjoining the river
and for some distance inland. Thou
sands of acres of growing crops are
under water, in several instances be-
ing washed up entirely. The loss to
farmers in this region will reach thou

year to replant.
Levees down the river on the north

this lets the water far inland.

places the water covers the floors OF
the stores in the heart of the town.

RELEASE EXPECTED SOON
Bandit Raisuli's Terms Have Been
Accepted BY the Sutton
of Morocco.

London, June 1.-THE release OF
Perdicaris and Marley may be ex-
pected in a few days, says the Tangier
correspondent of the Daily Mail. Prac-
tically all of Raisuli's conditions have
been accepted by the sultan and the
ahereef of Wazan, who is conducting
the negotiations, is satisfied that Raj
suli will receive the s%ultan's pardon.
II understand that the bulk of the
ransom will be furnished by the de-
posed governor of Tangier, Adder
Sadok, who leaves for Fee immediate
ly," say the correspondent.
ut is feared that a tribe inimical to
Raisuli, which holds the country be-
tween Tangier and Beniaros, may at
tempt to seize the money in transit.
The United States is determined to
deter further acts of brigandage
which are likely to be encouraged as
a result of Raisuli's success, and the
release of Perdicaris will see the be-
ginning of a real crisis here.

IOWA OLEOMARGARINE LAW.
The Iowa Supreme Court Decides
That All OleOmnrgnriHe Must
Bear the Label.

Des Moines, Ia, June 1.-THE Iowa
supreme court affirmed a decision OF
the lower court prohibiting the sale
of colored oleomargarine unless the
state dairy laws are complied with.
The suit was brought by the Iowa
dairy commission against the Armour
Packing Co, and was in the nature OF
a test. The Armours contended that
their oleomargarine was made the
color of yellow butter through natural
processes in it's manufacture, and that,
therefore, their dealers were not COM
PEELED to exhibit the label. The first
indictment was quashed through
t~echnicalities. Upon the second trial
the state secured a favorable verdict
and an appeal was taken. The SUI
preme court holds that it is not
enough for the packing company TO
prove that their ol~eomargarine is made
yellow through natural processes, but
that it is a violation of the state law
to sell any color and kind of oleo-
margarine without the label.

THE CRIME OF OPPRESSION
A New York Judge Administers q
Rebuke to the Police.
More Police Oppression in New York
Than. in Any Other Place In
the Civilized World.

New York, June lin granting q
permanent injunction restraining a
police captain from s~tationing officers
in a cafe heal Washington market for
the ostensible purpose of preventing
gambling on the premises, Justice Cay
nor, of the supreme court, HANDED
down a decision denouncing what he
calls acts of oppression as commonly
practiced by the police. He was partlc-
ularly severe in ~denouncing the captain
in question, whose action he declared
to be Outrageous criminal lawless-
ress."
After finding that the captain had
absolutely no grounds for suspecting
that gambling existed on the premises,
but had persisted in ~stationing men
en- the premises to drive away GUS
toners, without ever having consult-
ed a magistrate, Justice Gaynor con-
tinues:
1T is by methods such as these that
millions of dollars have been extorted
annually in the city of New York n
the police officials have been able to
retire, one after another, with great
wealth. His (the captain's) acts clear
ly constitute the crime Of oppression,
and it is fortunate that they have not
provoked violence and even bloodshed,
for the plaintiff has the right to resist
them with all the force necessary.
I'VE read of such official conduct In
Europe, and profess to be astonlshed
over it, but we have had more OF it
in the city for New York for the last
25 years, and especially during the last
eight or nine years, than there has
been in any other place in the civilized
world.
Such police lawlessness is far more
dangerous than all the gambling COM
bined. 1t brings in it's train all OF the
vices, and debases government and So

HAS TRIED BOTH.
Travel for Health VS.. Dieting.

A man who was sent to Europe for
his health and finally found cure in a
little change in his diet says:
81 was troubled with dyspepsia for
five years and two doctors here in Ke-
nosha that treated me for over a year
both told me there was no help for
me. Then l had an expert from Chi
cago, but still received no relief; then
followed another expert from Chicago
who came to our house two times a
month for four months. He gave me
up like all the others and told me to
take a trip across the ocean,, which l
did in the year 1899 and came home
about as bad as when l started. The
doctors told me my stomach lining was
full of sores. Then l began to study
my own case and learned of the diet
recommended by the Postum Cereal
Co., SO l gave up coffee, pork and all
greasy foods and began using Postum
Food Coffee. Gradually 1 got better and
better until / am well now as ever
was in my younger days, have no trou-
BILE and eat anything fit to eat.
Sometimes away from home / am
persuaded to drink coffee, but I only
take a sip of it, for 1t tastes bitter and
dlsagreeable to me, but the longer ! use
Postum the better I like it and the
better I feel. l could say a great deal
more of my experience with Postum,

good idea of what leaving off coffee
