There was a mad s'nsh for land and

Triumph Of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished
and put back, or they may be re-
moved entirely; bones are spliced:
pipes take the place of diseased sec
tions of veins; antiseptics dressings
are applied to wounds, bruises. burns,
and like injuries before inflammation
sets in, which causes them to heal
without maturatiou and in ohe-third
the time required by the old treat
ment. Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts
on this same principle. 1t is an anti
septic and when applied to such
injuries, causes them to heal very
quickly 1t also allays the pain and
soreness. Keep a bottle of Pain
Balm in your home and 1T will save
you time and money, not to mention
the inconvenience and suffering
which such injuries entail. For sale
by all druggists.

REDUCING REPRESENTATION.
Discussing Disfranchisement Plank in
Platform.

Special Dispatch From a Staff Correspondent.
CHICAGO, June 22-The platform as
agreed to by the committee today contains
a plank calling upon Congress to investi-
gate whether the right of franchise Is being
violated, and if So that states violating
section IA of the Constitution shall be linn
tied i'm their congressional and electoral
college representation.
This declaration. it is confidently be-
lieved will be followed by a thorough
investigation by Congress. That investi-
cation may not be begun next winter, be-
cause then the short session would give
little time for concluding any legisla-
ton. 1t is more likely to be proposed and
commenced early in the ffty-ninth ses-
sion.
The plank is especially acceptable to the
colored men Of the south. who have waged a
warfare on the lily whites of the south
Their defeat of the lily white movement in
Louisiana has encouraged them to carry
their opposition into all other states where
in the future delegates to the convention
are elected after any ignoring of the colored
element in the party.
The adoption of the suffrage plank in the
convention which is assured from the ac-
ton of the committee still further encOur-
ages the colored men here with the idea
that the day is not far distant when they
will be able to vote all over the south and
to have their votes counted.
The hopes of the beSt-informed leaders
here do not lead them to believe the colored
people of the south will be altogether
pleased when they find what it is possible
for republican Congress to do in legis-
lating to prevent discrimination against
colored men at the polls.
All that they look forward to is to secure
additional legislation that will prevent dis
elimination that is distinctly aimed against
colored men. The disadvantage now en-
countered by that race because of property
and educational tests will continue to pre-
vent the casting of votes of colored men
until they have advanced in both wealth
and education.
One of the chief advantages to the COL
cred people of the south to be secured by
the adoption of this plank will be in calling
the attention of the country to conditions
in the south and securing corrective meas
ures by that force that results from pub
Lefty.
The Supreme Court is gradually clearing
up the legal aspect of the election laws of
the southern states, so that nearly all the
states themselves have been forced to aban-
don many of their devices to prevent the
casting of colOred votes.
The positive stamp of disapproval placed
on methods of DISTINGUISHING colored men
Of the south has done much to encourage
republican politicians from that section 81
the country who will return home feeling
that their party is back of them in the.-
fight for the right of suffrage. c. E. X.

MORAL OBLIGATION INVOLVED.
Disposition to Adjourn Tonight Despite
Any Agreements.
lspatch From a STAFF Correspondent.

Special Dispatch From STAFF Correspondent
CHICAGO. June 22.-The proposal to
complete the business of this convention
legation, based on contract obligation be-
tween the republican national committee
and the Chicago hotel keepers and contrib
utors to the guarantee fund, who brought
the convention here.
Uncle joe" the permanent chairman.
declared when the subject was first brought
to his attention. in Enthusiastically vigor-
Gus language, that he did not care what
agreements the national committee had
made to keep the convention here three
days. that he wanted to get out and would
heartily second such an effort by recoS-
nizing the delegate who arose to make the
motion.
Accordingly the sergeant at arms in
structed the bandmaster to be on hand this
evening and plans were Professionally made
in readiness for a completion of the work
today.
The great argument raised in behalf of
this plan is that the delegates are begin
ming to go home, particularly the New
Workers.
When this state of facts was reported
to Congressman Hemenway of Indiana,
chief manager of the Fairbanks boom. he
tered if the New York delegates did go
home as they were not shaping events
here In accordance with the plans they
originally announced on their arrival;
that they could without doubt be spared.

BOTH SIDES CLAIM CONTROL.
Minnesota Democrats Meet at Duluth
Hearst Men Confident.

DULUTH, Mimi, June 22.-The Hearst
men were claiming everything before the
democratic state convention met this af-
ternoon. The opponents of Hearst were
equally confident of victory. The latter
depended much on the strong personality
of John Lind, who came here in the lead
of the anti-Hearst forces, hoping to draw
many of the uninstructed delegates away
from the New Yorker. Lind was urged
to permit his name to be used as a dele
gate-at-large in spite of instructions, but
would not agree unless the convention
were anti-Hearst.
The uninstructed delegates held the bal
ance of power. The Hearst delegates-a
large are j. r. Bennett, jr., of ST Cloud
B. l.. Buck of WinOna, T. II. Hudson of
Duluth and Swan furnblad of Minneapo-
lis. The anti-Hearst elegates-at-large
are John Lind, L. A. Rosing, T. D. O'Brien
with the fourth delegate yet unnamed.

fectionate cheers and loud cries of Can
non," He's all right"
Then came the usual inquiry, who's all
right?' and the ringing answer. Cannon
The chairman waited patiently for the
applause to subside, and then, 1t being
comparatively quiet, said:
"Gentlemen''-that was as far as he went.
Another cheer cut him of for full minute,
and then he was allowed to proceed.
Laughter greeted him as he said: For

enough sentences at one time to make 2.ooU
words to say to you today. l tried hard to
commit it to memory but cannot. Now,
he continued. I'VE will begin to ramble.

tering was given Mr.. Cannon when he en-
tered upon the solid matter of his address.

Mr.. Cannon departed at times from the
text of his prepared speech. but the depart

rugged humor that never failed to arouse
applause.
