which he caught on his tobacco
plants. The bugs are about the size
of an ordinary fly and brown in col
or. Their like has not been seen

siderable damage to the tobacco
plants, and are said to be the only
insects noticed in plant beds this

The heavy rain recently afforded
much desired season for setting to-

crop in this section is now in the

crops were greatly benefited by the

The sympathy of the people Of
this country is shown in the fact
that numerous offers Of assistance in
money have been made to the Jap
anese Minister at Washington, which
he has referred to bis government.
And while Japan is deeply touched
by this evidence Of sympathy for her
in her struggle for national exist
ence, 1t is believed that all such Of
fers will be declined. 1t is also re-
ported that numerous applications
have been made for service in the
Japanese army and navy, which
have been declined. Japan believes
that her cause is just and that she is
able to overcome the enemy without
the material aid ofany foreign power.

A PLATFORM For DEMOCRATS.

In q recent issue of the Commoner
Mr.. Bryan has deiied the thermometers
of the Democratic party reconstruct
a platform upon which all factions OF
the party will consent TO stand. We
concede that this Is a difficult propo-
sition, but we also declare that upon
the successful consummation OF this
depends the success OF the party
in the presidential election next TALL
OF course if Mr.. Bryan and his close
adherents are going to insist upon a
renewal OF the declaration for free
coinage OF silver at Lotto i, renewal
OF the declaration for free trade or its
equivalent, "tariff for revenue only
and renewal OF the anti-imperialist
declaration, contained in the plat
form OF 1900, then, OF course, there
can be no harmoniziUg OF the Demo-
cratic forces. On the other hand II
the organizers insist upon declara-
tion for the single gold standard as
one of the planks in this years plat
form, as the price OF their support,
then again there will be no unity OF
action against the common foe But
on the other hand if the platform to
be adopted at st. Louis should con-
tain no allusion to these subjects,
other than to define the new position
OF the party on the tariff, upon which
all Democrats can now well agree,
this act:on would not necessarily
mean feprobation of former ideas OF
the party on currency or imperialism,
and at the same time, without sacrl-
fee OF principle, all factions OF the
party could get together. Let the
Democrats waive their differences
concerning dead or sleeping issues,
which have been settled by the ballot
or by the logic of events, and take up
the issues made by the present ad-
ministration. But the Democratic
party also needs recruits from the
Republican ranks, and we believe
that concentrated attack upon the
Republican party for its failure to
carry out its plans for reciprocity
and tariff revision as inaugurated
by President Mckinley, and the
pledge OF the Democrats to take up
the fight along this line will secure
the necessary recruits for success. A
platform along the line we suggest
would be one few Democrats could
find pretext for rejecting.
