We condemn the republican system
OF legislation under which trust mono
poles are enabled to exact higher
prices for their manufactured pre-
duets from our own people than they
sell them for abroad.
We favor the enactment and admin
istratiOn of laws, giving labor and
capital impartially their just rights.
Capital and labor ought not to be enc
mics. Each is necessary to the other.
Each has its rights, but the rights of
labor are certainly no less vested"
no less sacred" and no less "inalien-
able than the rights of capital.
School and Race Questions.
The race question has brought count
less woes to this country. The cain
wisdom of the American people should
see to it that it brings no more. To
revive the dead and hateful race and
sectional animosities in our common
country means confusion, distraction
of business and the reopening of
wounds now happily healed. North.
south, east and west have but recently
stood together in line of battle from
the walls of Pekin to the hills of
Santiago and as sharers of common
glory and common destiny, we share
fraternaliy the common burdens. We,
therefore, deprecate and condemn the
Bourbon-lille selfish and narrow spir-
it of the recent republican convention
at Chicago, which sought to kindle
anew the embers of racial and sec
tional strife, and we appeal from 1t TO
the sober, common sense and patriotic
spirit Of the American people.
The existing republican administra-
ton has been spasmodic, cratic, SEN
sational, spectacular and arbitrary. It
has made itself satire upon the con.
gress, the courts and upon the set
tied practices and usages of national
and International law.
Imperialism.

We insist that we ought to do for

done for the Cubans. And it is our
intent, as soon as it can be done

engagements with them concerning ma

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
Principal Features of Document as Adopted by the Ma
tiona Convention at ST. Louis--God Plank Eliminated

The salient features of the platform
adopted by the democratic national
convention are as follows:
We, the delegates of the democratic
party of the United States, in nation
al convention assembled, declare our
devotion to the essential principles of
the democratic faith which brings us
together in party communion.
Under them local self-government
and national unity and prosperity
would be alike established.
Large reductions can readily be
made in the annual expenditures of
the government without impairing the
efficiency of any branch of the public
service, and we shall insist upon the
strictest economy and frugality COM
patible with vigorous and efficient civ
il, military and naval administration
rs right of the people, too clear TO
deny or withhold.
The Tariff.
The democratic party has been and
will continue 10 be the consistent OPP
ponent of that class of tariff legisla-
ton by which certain interests have
been permitted, through congressional
favor, TO draw a heavy tribute from
the American people.
We favor the reduction of tariff tax
alton reduction upon trust-produced
articles to the point where foreign
competition may enter the American
market whenever trusts and combines
seeking monopoly raise their prices to
the American consumer above a rea-
sonable and just profit by such reduc-
ton deprivng trusts and monopolies
of the power to extort from the Amer
lean people, under shelter of AmeIi-
can law, prices higher than those
charged foreigners for identical arti-
Giles.
The lsthmian Canal.
Our party having long earnestly adj
vocoted the construction of an inter
oceanic canal for the purpose of ma
tional defense and commerce between
the states and with foreign nations,
we favor the early completion of the
isthmian canal.
But while making this declaration
and accepting the result as an accom-
plished and irreversible fact we can
not too forcibly express our disap-
proyal of the methods by which, in
disregard of the usages ana obliga-
lions of international law and treaty
obligations, the canal route has been
acquired.
Trusts and Illegal Corporations.
We recognize that the gigantic
trusts and combinations designed to
enable capital to secure more than it's
just share of the joint product of CAPT
tai and labor, and which have been
fostered and promoted under republi-
can rule, are menace to beneficial
competition and an obstacle to perma-
nent business prosperity
We demand the vigorous and i'm
partial enforcement of the laws al
ready made TO prevent and control
such trusts and combinations, and we
favor such legislation in restraint
thereof as experience shows to be nee
essary.
We demand that the restraint of
such illegal combinations be entrusted
to the democratic party, which is not
responsible for their existence and
which has ever protested against their

WHISKEY THIEVES

the Railroads Will Act.
Bill to BE Introduced to Have Proof
OF Consignments Taken on Platform.

The railroads which handle whiskey
in Kentucky will secure the introduc-
tion Of bill ut this session OF the leg
islsture which, II passed, is expected
20 result in an immense saving not
only 10 the railroad 90 npanies, but
also TO the Wholesale liquor dealers.
For years past the railroads have an
nually been compelled TO spend large
amounts for whiskey which the con-
signees claim was stolen while being
transported.
The inevitable result is that they
have 90 pay for this amount Of whis-
key.
The bill which is 60 be presented to
the legislature is expected to do away
with a large number Of these com
plants, for il will require the proof of
the vhiskey to be shipped. to be taken
on the platform just before being
placed In the cars, and again taken
just before the whiskey il delivered
60 the consiRnee. II the proof of the
whisky at the point At which il is
shipped and its destination agree.
there will be no possibility of a claim
for reclamation being made. IL the
proofs at the two points do not agree,
the railroad officials will be convinced
that part of the whiskey has been
stolen ana water substituted. This
has been the custom of whiskey thieves
for years past.

OATS LONG RIDE .

Utica, N. Y, Jan. 6-An Albany
cat, perohed on one Of the trucks Of q
New York newspaper train, made the
journey between that city and Utica,
travelling the distance a. the rate of a
mile minute. The feline was well
groomed, its sleek body indicating that
it had a good hume in the capital city.
All attempts at persuasion did not stir
the cat when the train reached this
city, for the reason it was frozen to
the trucks. The cat was finally dis
lodged, and within ten minutes had
thswed out, jumping nimbly about.
II was ascertained that the cat had
jumped to the car trucks when the
train pulled out Of Albany. 1t seems
almost impossible that it could have
remained in that place, exposed to bit
ter cold, during the journey up the
Mohawk valley, but rs the train does
not stop between Albany and Utica, il
must have chung on during the whole
distance.

SOUTH DAKOTA IS LAUNCHED
Governors Daughter christens The New
Cruiser

San Francisco, July 21.-The armor
ed cruiser South Dakoia was success
fully launched from her cradle at the
Union Iron works at $40 O'clock p. m.
The ceremonies attending the launch
ing we're unusually simple. Bishop w.
N. Nichols, of the Episcopal diocese of
California, offered a short prayer and
then Miss Grace Herreid, daughter of
the governor of South Dakota, pressed
a button that released the hull of the
youngest American cruiser. As the
vessel began to move Miss Herreid
swung a bottle of champagne against
the boat and bestowed the designated
name on her.
Gov. Herreid of South Dakota and
party, and a number of naval officers
and citizens witnessed the launching.
The armored cruiser South Dakota is
a sister ship Of the California, launched
three months ago at the yards Of the
Union Iron works. The two ships are
almost identical and are the largest
war vessels ever launched in a Pacific
ocean port. Each represents the latest
type Of efficiency, speed and power. The
engines, which are expected to develop
%, 600 horsepower, will give high speed
and great facility in maneuyering at
sea. The coal capacity Of the bunkers
admits Of a radius of operation consid-
erably greater than any other other war
vessel now in the navy.
The South Dakota is a type of six
vessels authorized by congress at the
same time. It's dimensions are: Length
at water line, 5O2 feet; breadth, SO feet
l61s inches; draught, "a feet; dispIace
