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 pur
devotion to the essential principles OF
the democratic faith which brings US
together in party communion. = 81 Z
- Under them local self-goyernn1ent
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 10
deny or withhold.
rzss d.. The Tariff. = .: =:
The democratic party has been and
will continue to be the consistent op-
ponent of that class Of tariff legisla-
tion by which certain interests have
been permitted, through congressional
favor, to draw a heavy tribute from
the. American people. s..
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
tho American consumer above rea-
sonable and just profit; By such reduc-
ton depriving trusts and monopolies
of the power to extort from the Amer
lean people, under shelter Of Ameri-
can law, prices higher than those
charged foreigners for Identical arti-
cles. = RSs -
- ( 2 The lsthmian Canal. = =
Our party having long. earnestly ad.
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 sthe
is.hmian 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-
plpval of the methods by which, in
disregard Of the usages and obliga-
tions 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 its
Just share of the joint product OF capi-
taI and labor, and which have been
fostered and promoted under republl-
can rule, are a 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 Nemand that the restraint OF
such illegal combinations be entrusted
to the democratic party, which is not
responsible for their existence and
which has ever prot sisted against their
continuance,

George recently made an observa-

stay there was very limited.
W hat he saw there, however, was
such as he thinks ought to inspire
the greatest confidence in the camp,

prospects being developed. Georges
assessment work for this year on
his Camp creek property has been
completed.

Hotel Assemble His coming has
suggested to business men that they
again take up and push the subject
of an armory and public hall, which
was talked of some time ago and
which was turned down by the county
commissioners.
The last state legislature appropri-
ated $4,000 for armory purposes
$4,000 for Spokane, $4,000 for Ia
coma and $4,000 for Seattle. These
appropriations must be taken up be-
fore the last of April. 1905.
Following this the Spokane cham
Der of commerce presented a petition
with numerous sisners to the county
commissioners asking that they issue
bonds to the amount of S4O.0 900,
which, added to the state appropria-
tion, would make sum sufficiently
large to build an armory that would
be a credit to the city. The commits
sioners at that time turned the matter
down. giving for a reason that the
county was not then In shape to issue
any more bonds. Levi G. Monroe.
secretary OF the chamber of com
merce. said today:
1T is to be hoped that the commits
sioners will again take up and con-
slider this important matter. OF
course an armory can be put up for
the 100000 appropriated by the state
for that purpose, but it would be
nothing more than n shack, compare
lively speaking"

VOLUNTEERS
ARE SEVEN
YEARS
OLD

The seventh anniversary of the Vol
unteers of America will be celebrated
all over the United States this week.
The Volunteers of America is the Off
shoot of the Salvation Army under the
leadership of Ballington Booth and
his wife.
The event will be celebrated in Spo-
kane by the corps under Captain w.
d. Bryant. The organization in Spo-
kane is not large enough for extensive
preparations but something will be
done in the way of dinners and
special services to commemorate the
event.
In the circular sent out by the or
ganization this year, it shows that
400 women and 479 children have been
cared for by the organization. One
hundred and eighty thousand five hun
dred and ffty-fve persons found refuge
in the homes for destitute persons.
Much work has also been done among
the prisoners in the penitentiary by
the organization. Over $4,000 men
within prison walls were reached by
the Volunteers of America.

WESTLAkE
WEDDING
SERENADE

r. Z. Westlake Of the Cold Storage
market was married by DR.. Lambert
yesterday afternoon to Miss Alice
Barnes, n very charming young lady.
Following the wedding during the even
Ing there was something doing quite
out OF the ordinary.
Carl Gets Busy.
Mr.. Westake and his bride were
entertaining at their apartments in
The Lndelle quite late in the evening.
Twenty guests were gathered and all
were having fine time and did not
notice the disappearance of Carl
Trunk, the best man. After slipping
from the presence of the happy couple
and the guests, Trunk HE'D himself
into Chinatown. After some trouble
he found Gum Sick, a Chinese person
atty and general authority on chink
music. There was much conversation
between the two in a pigeon variety
of language. Then the musical phenom-
ena of Chinatown moved off, broad
grin showing his yellow teeth, over
spreading his visage, his slant eyes
blinking mirthfully, as he shuffled with
4 duck-gait over to the domicle Of
the Chinese mayor.
