What the japanese lack in stature
they make up in brain Less than two
decades ago they were in the Middle
Ages; now it is rare to find man
who cannot read and write The ma
iority are highly educated. they show
great scientific attainments; they lead
the world in biology, and are among
the foremost chemists; and they pos
sess the largest battIeships and one
of the most perfect armies. They
boast, not without reason, that they
have done in thirty years, in the way
of getting wisdom what it took Eu-
rope half rs many centuries to accom-
piish. In all the 10000 primary
schools supported by the government
and in all the middle and private
schools. one point is always strictly
insisted upon--the duty owed to par
ent and to Emperor. \ Japanese will
speak to you of his parents with a
fervor akin to reverence; and any
sch0olboy would define his duty to his
Emperor by saying it is to help him
preserve his country's Independence.
Every school teaches drill; even ba-
bies are taught war-songs: fire or
patriotism burns in every breast.

scored in the fight against the gold
plank. but secured a modification of
the tariff plank When Il was learned
that the gold plank had been voted out
it was anticipated that the fight on the
floor over the platform would be waged
with greater yigor than had been
counted upon. as there was promise of
stirring scenes that would mark a eli
max.
The Bryan demonstration inaugur-
ated Thursday afternoons session and
transformed the interior of the Coli
scum into a seething mass of shrek
ing, perspiring humanity. Then came
the fight over the minority report of
the Committee on Credentials, and
Bryan, who led the debate. gave the
galleries another chance to shout them
selves hoarse.
1t was not until late that Chairman
Head, of the Committee on Creden-
tials, was able to read the majority re-
port 1t seated all the delegates from
States and Territories where no CON
tests had been filed. The Hopkins del
egation from Illinois was seated by
vote of G47 to 299. after a scathing ar
raignment by William J. Bryan In
which the terms train robbers ard
'highwaymen' were used. The Ne
braskan was loudly cheered and all
who tried TO defend the cause of the
contestees were Kissed by the crowd
The mention of the name of Champ
Clark as permanent chairman was re-
ceiyed with applause and the report
was unanimously adopted. Chairman
Williams appointed Senator ]. w. Bail
ey and Representative Bourke Cochran
of New York to escort Mr.. Clark to
the chair. With his hat in his hand
Temporary Chairman Williams pre-
scented Mr.. Clark as permanent chair
man, and as Mr.. Clark bowed in ae-
acknowledgement he was heartily wei
coined
Mr. Clark at once plunged into his
speech. 1t was evident from the be-
ginning, however. that the convention
was in no mood for more oratory. The
galleries began to empty rapidly. The
confusion was so great that, after
speaking a few minutes, Mr.. Clark
gave it up. He haG prepared IN elab-
crate speech, but as a matter of fact,
he delivered only the beginning of 1t.

appearance of immensely to large ex-
tent because of the great buff canopy
that hid the roof from view. Illinois,
New York. Pennsylvania and Michi-

Directly opposite the platform and
in the rear of the delegates was n
stand where band of thirty pieces
played throughout the convention. I'LL

The platform and band stand were dec
GRATED in harmony with the whole
scheme, the nations emblem predomi-
mating.
Sy the time the han was one-third
filed the heat began to increase to a
noticeable degree, The great majority
of the delegates and visitors had pro-
vtded themselves with fans and the au-
ditorum, viewed from the speakers
desk, was one yellow f1utter. as the
palm-leaf fans bc8bed back and forth.
The delegates lost ou,y little time In
getting outside of their coats. and the
complexion of the lower part of the
hall, black at first. bee, me lighter and
lighter as the coats disappeared and
the shirt sleeves became evident.
The first ripple of applause that
went across the convention came from
the galleries. when the Texas delega-
tion marched in, bearing their Tag OF
red, white and blue. with tile sit gle
star. A white silk banner. bearing the
inscription Florida Democracy; Safe
and Sound" was borne into the hall

through the scattering storm clouds.
Again the Democracy after twelve
years, nominated its standard bearer
in the Late hours of the morning, and
the other circumstances surrounding
the nomination of Alton 3. Parker, as
well as the physical environment, were
much the same as those ON the wild
night of 1892
The convention adopted without dis
sent a platform of which not per
cent of the whole convention heard Il

delegates and the crowd heard with

Senator Daniel, of Virginia, who read
the creed that had kept the commit.

straight shirty-six hours, that the plat
form haG the unanimous support of
the committee.
There wela two big demonstrations
in connection with the event that had
been in all minds since the opening
day of the convention. One of them
followed the speech of Martin w. Lit
Teton, of New York, presenting to the
convention the name of Judge Alton Is.
Parker. of the Empire State Supreme
Court, and the Other followed the
speech of y. NJ Delmas, of California.

A convention hall like an oven could
not diminish the interest Of the thou
sands of men and women. Women
hundreds of them-stood for hours
among persons of all types whom they
knew not. The hall was suffocating,
| but no one thought of moving until
the big event had been brought to its
close.
After the nomination of Parker the
convention adjourned until 2 o'clock
Saturday afternoon.
The Parker am Hearst nominating
speeches came early in the long nights
session, and while they furnished the
| wild excitement. it remained for the
presentation of Senator Cockrelrs
name by Champ Clark al nearly ?
o'clock in the morning to bring about
the prettiest spectacle of wonderful
convention session. Thousands of those
In the hall were Missourians, and
every Missourian had a flag in reserve,
