Walter WeIlman, the noted correspon-
dent, in. describing the reorganized dem
ocratic party says: ''For eight years it
has been a Bryan party, an anti-Wall
street party. a radical tariff reform party.
Now. i becomes Parker party, gold
standard party, Wall street party in
powerful, elements of its leadership, and
more amazing still, party which stands
for the sort Of, tariff reform which in the
last analysis is only surrender to the
forces ranged behind the protective
tariff"

VIII Not Bolt.

w. ]. Bryan has declared he, will not
bolt the democratic party but viii support
Parker, although not agreeing with his
attitude upon several economic questions.
Mr.. Bryan takes occasion to remark in
his declaration of loyalty to the ticket
that democratic victory will mean very
little in any progress on economic ques-
tons so long as the party is under the
control of rhe Wall street element, as at
the present time. On the money question
Mr., Parker is as thoroughly committed to
the side of the fnanciers as Mr.. Roose-
welt, and nothing good can be expected
of him on the money question.
OF the methods pursued to advance
Judge Parker's candidacy he says it was q
plain and deliberate attempt TO deceive
the party. because the advocates Of Park,
.er were trying to secure votes from
among the people who would have op-
posed his views had they known them.
If he had sent to the Albany convention
the telegram that he.sent to the St, Louis
convention. he would have had very few
instructed, delegates from the South, and
no possible chance for the nomination.
At soon as the election. is over Mr..
Bryan will undertake to organize for the
campaign of 1908, the object being to
marshal the friends Of popular govern
ment within the democrats, party to the
support Of a radical and progressive policy
to make the democratic party.an efficient
means in the hands of, loyal democrats to
defeat the purposes of the plutocrats who
are attempting to direct its affairs.

State Aid To Road Building.

The timely and instructive pamphlet
compiled by the Highway Division of the
IMaryland Geological Survey as COM
lprehensiye explanation of the principal
features of state aid to road building, and
which has in part been described in pre-
vious issues of this paper, was ready for
distribution last tuesday and is now
being sent to Boards of County Commits
sioners and residents in all sections of the
state. An edition Of 5000 copies has been
printed, Of, which 1900 will be sent at
once to organizations and individuals
known TO be interested and the re-
mainder will be distributed, to persons
who make application 10 the Maryland
Geological Survey, at the Johns Hopkins
University for the book. =. ~
The principal features of the pamphlet
have already been described in these col
umns,-namely, the table compiled by
the Maryland Geological Survey showing
the amount of state funds available. for
each county, and the method Of proceed
ure to be followed by the people in the
counties in order to obtain this money.
There remains to be explained inthis
article the part which the Maryland Geo,
logical Survey will take in cooperating
with the people of the counties to assist
the work as largely as possible. +
AS this State Road Law does not be-
come operative until January I, 1905.
there is an opportunity in the meantime
for the various Boards of County Com
missioners to take up the preliminary
work in connection with the selection of
the road to be FIRST built. There wilieaiso
be required plans of the. road in order to
m axe proper estimates of the cost. All
of these preliminary arrangements take
much time. and if they are delayed until
the first of the year much valuable time
will be lost and but little progress will be
made the FIRST season.
1t is with view to saving much of this
time that the Highway Division of the
Maryland Geological Survey proposes to
make for the various Boards of County
Commissioners such surveys and plans as
may be necessary to draw up a correct
estimate of the cost of construction, and
so have everything in readiness to. begin:
at the first available moment the, actual
construction of roads under the State Aid
Law. -sssaf
Any county applying in season to have
its surveys made during the present year,
will gain the advantage OF havingthe full
cost of the surveys paid by the State in
the end, while one-half of the cost of the:
surveys made after January I, zoos, must
be borne permanently by the county, as
stated in sections S and 10 of the act.
An important feature of the pamphlet
is a detachable page bearing form of
request to the Highway Division Of the
Maryland Geological Survey to make the
required surveys for. plans aud estimates;
of the cost of any piece of road. This
form is expected to be filled in by the.
Boards of County Commissioners who
thereby signifed their intention to petit
tion for state aid under the provisions of
the new law as soon as il, becomes
operative. -
The pamphlet is published in an attrac-
tive form. similar to the reports of the
Maryland Geological Survey, and will be
sent by request to all persons interested.

The Democratic Ticket.

After convention, the, like of which
has probably never been witnessed by
man, and which viii long, be memorable
in the history Of the party, the democrats
have placed in nomination for the Pres
idencyof the United States, Judge Alton
B. Parker. Of New York, and for the
Vice Presidency former United States
Senator Henry 6, Davis, OF West vir-
ginia, ON a platform born after sixteen
hours Of contention. - -''t -,
Judge Parker owes his nomination as
the democratic standard bearer of 1904 to
the most skilfu1 sort of political engineer
ing, after systematic campaign launched
months ago and silently conducted by
that politically, discredited former leader
of. New York democrats, David B. Hill,
who the last time he appeared before the
people, as candidate for public office
was overwhelmingly repudiated.
After his nomination on platform
which made no mention of the financial
question, Judge Parker plunged the con-
vention into. a. state bordering ON panic
by breaking the silence so long main
tanned by him. and declaring that be was
boots and breeches for the Wall street
gold hug financial policy, and could be
depended upon to do all'in his power to
further the cause of that clique of money
manipulating conspirators if elected.
1t was this question, mainly, which
caused such lengthy wrangle in the
committee on resolutions, W. ]. Bryan by
a determined fight, in which his mag
netic personality and oratory were prom
inent factors, preventing the adoption of
gold plank, it being the hope to frame
such platform as both gold and silver
wings Of the party might unite in sup
port of.
The influencing element in the selec.
tion of the vice-presidential nominee,
who is. an octogenarian, seems to have
been the bar'i," ex-senator Davis
being many time over millionaire.
and he will be abundantly able to make
liberal contributions to the campaign
fund.
The ticket as nominated has nothing to
recommend it above that of the republic
cans, and has, in the opinion of all i'm
partial political observers, defeat staring
it in the face.
The platform as adopted, is lengthy,
and deals with many questions, opening
with declaration of the fundamental
MISREPRESENTATION of the press, of con-
science, and of speech; equality before
the law of all citizens; right of trial by
jury; freedom of the person defended by
the writ of habeas corpus; liberty of per-
soual contract untrammeled by sumptuary
laws; supremacy of the civil over military
authority; well disciplined militia; the
separation of Church and State; economy
In expenditures; low taxes, that labor
may be lightly burdened; prompt and
sacred fulfllment of public and private
obligations; fidelity to treaties; peace and
friendship with all nations; entangliug
alliances with none; absolute acquiescence
in the will of the majority, the vital prin-
ciple of Republics, "-and closes with a
denuuciatiou of the existing republican
administration which has been Spas
modic, cratic, sensational, spectacular
and arbitrary" 20 p ~ 'sss'lss'iH

RATS GNAW MATCHES
AND START A BLAZE
Fire InfIicts Damage Amounting to
$1,000 at go East Fifth Street

Fire supposed to have been started
by rats gnawing matches caused dam
age amounting to $1,000 in the two
story building at 80 East Fifth street
at L o'clock this morning.
G. c.. Meyer, commercial photog-
rapher, in whose quarters in the rear
of the second floor the fire is thought
to have originated, was the heaviest
loser. His loss, only partially covered
by insurance, amounts to $500. The ST.
Paul Stamp Works, conducted by Axel
p. Mellgren, which occupied the front
half of the upper floor, was damaged to
the extent of $500. The Northwestern
Grinding and Manufacturing company,
owned by Herman j. Snow, which oc-
cupies the entire first floor, was dam
aged by smoke and water about 5000.
The damage to the building, owned by
Amos Pierce, amounts to 5000.
The fire smoldered several hours be-
fore it was discovered. Percy Hdgan,
of the st. Paul Messenger and Express
company, saw the smoke coming from
the windows and turned in the alarm.

PUTS OUT 3 BULLIES
Lumberiacks Beat Newsboy and Pu-

Charles G. Smith, known in sporting
circles as ''Thunderbolt," local color
ed fighter of some fame, vanquished
three big, rollicking lumberjacks yes
terday afternoon after a street slir-
mish on Washington avenue.
Smith happened to appear on the
avenue just as the three big men from
the north were beating a newsboy
about the head and face. The fighter
heard the cry for help" Of the young
ster and he Immediately interfered.
The leader of the three resented this
and made a pass at Smith, which was
parried with the grace of a past mas.
ter, and before the Iumberjack knew
what happened he came UP against a
stiff right jab and went to the side
walk
AS the first lumberiack went to
mother earth the other two made a
rush at the pugilistic artist, but he met
them with a right and left in rapid
succession and they Joined their pal
on the walk. A policeman appeared.

visitors go, feeling that the punish
ment they had already received was
sufficient under the circumstances.

of the class of 1904 were graduated
from Mrs. Backus' School for Girls
The exercises were not prolonged,
DR.. w. I'll. w. Boyle, pastor of the
House of Hope Presbyterian church,

G. j. Backus, in the absence of Mrs
Backus, conferred the diplomas. D. F.
ColyiHe sang, and Edwin E. Tarbox,
organist, played.
Miss Hazel Zelma Alness, president
of the class, led "The Pleiades." Her

Rev. Wigdahl read a comprehensive re-
port of the work of the orphans home
at Lake Park, MINI.
Then Prof. A. G. Tuve. president of
Augustana college, Canton, S. D.. pre-
sented the work of that institution.
The property is valued at $50 1000 and
the new building cost $35, ,000 A class
or twenty-one graduated, the largest
IN the history of the college. The re-
celpts were S7,S5S.24, and a surplus of
$400 remained.
II. G. Holm, superintendent of mis-
sions, said that 10000 Iutherans had
migrated to Canada. He referred to
the work in some of the Southern
states, as we'll as the large cities Of
New York, Philadelphia and Brooklyn.
HIS report also referred to the rescue
mission work in the slums of the large
cities.
Rev. Slettedahl talked of the sea-
mems mission on the Pacific coast and
gave a good idea Of the work done.
The st. Olaf college band is expected
tomorrow Sunday, and a concert will
be given. President Dahl pushes the
work of the conference energetfcally.
The afternoon session was largely
taken up with that part of the secre-
tary's report relating to parochial and
Sunday schools, especially the former.
1t was announced that some congrega-
tfons had neither kind of school and
the sentiment was plainly expressed
that one or both should be in existence
in every parish. A large number took
part in the discussion and it became
very spirited.
The sensation of the conference was
the distribution this afternoon of a
pamphlet answering the one issued a
year ago by the synod branch of the
Norwegian Lutheran church. 1t was
couched in unInistakable language and
sought to repel the imputations made
by the synod church council against
Prof. Schmidt, the leader of the United
church forces. This evening Rev. +.
Tharaldson, of Madison Mimi, preached
a sermon largely directed to the clergy,
but interesting to ali who heard 1t.
