K[YSeR CONVENTION
PLATFORM

The Democrats of the Second Con-
gressional district, in Congressional
district convention assembled, do re-
affirm the principles of the Democratic
party as laid down by the party and
enunciated by its various party plat
FORMS
We recognize and regret the growing
tendency of corporate control of the
governmental affairs, both State and
National, and the iniquitous system
by which the earnings of the people
are appropriated by aid of class legis-
lation to the use of the favored few
and we pledge the candidate of this
convention, when elected to the Con-
gress of the United States, to stand for
the interests of the whole people in
the contest now coming on between
the public interest ON one hand and
corporate greed on the other.
We recognize the disposition on the
part of the kings of finance to organ
ize trusts for the purpose of increasing
and controlling the price of the neces-
saries of life, and we therefore pledge
the candidate of this convention, when
elected, to urge the adoption of such
laws as will place upon the free list
all articles so controlled by trusts as
to arbitrarily increase the price there
of to the consumer.
We believe and assert, most emphat-
ically, that taxation for State purposes
should be levied and collected upon all
persons and corporations according to
the amount and value of property own
ed by such persons or corporations.
That we regard the constantly
broadening corporation laws of this
State, the giving to corporations char
tered here more powers and privileges
over the people, for the sake of compel
ing with other States in an effort to
secure charter taxes from them, as a

The Term s'CrOny."

Every one uses the term ''crony" in
the sense of "chum' or pal" and the
phrase ''old cronies' has become spe-
cially familiar, but it is doubtful
whether the original word bore any
reference to friendship. The new Eng
lish dictionary puts down it's origin to
academic slang and quotes the immor-
tai Pepys for the earliest instances OF
it's use. Quite recently, however, an old
letter of still earlier date has come to
light, in which scholar is described
as content to destroy his body with
night labors and everlasting study to
overtake his chronyes and contempora-
ries" From this it would seem clear
that the word was bit of university
jargon used to denote students of the
same date and coined from the Greek
word that appears in the terms "chro-
nology,''" thermometer" "chronograph,"
that are connected with time.

May Weddings.

May weddings are supposed by many
persons to be unlucky 1t is a heritage
from the ancient Romans. A May
bride, says Ovid, is short lived, his
explanation being that the month in
Guided the celebration of the Lemuria
in honor of the dead. Apart from any
evil omen, such a time of mourning
would interfere with the bathing and
toilet arrangements that were proper
preliminaries to weddings. Plutarch
suggests that, as April was the month
Of Venus and June that of Juno, to Sc
lect May was to slight those nuptial
goddesses and that June, as the month
of the young Guniores), was preferable
to May, the month of the old (majores).
Ovid's ''Mense malas maio nubere vul-
gus ait" there is popular saying that
wicked women wed in May was in
scribed on the gate Of Holyrood when
Mary, queen of Scots, married Both
we'll in May, 1867. What followed
strengthened Scottish belief in Mays
unluckiness.

Antiquity of Cheating.

False weights We're found in the
ruins of the oldest city that has yet
been exhumed. And false weights
will probably be consumed when the
earth drops into the sun and the heav-
ems are rolled together like a scroll.
Ancient records and ancient statute
books are full of evidence that every
new practical device-from capitalistic
and labor mOnopolies, secret rebates
and majority owners, swindling mo-
nopoly owners, down to authorizations
and crooked scales-was familiar to
our ancestors of the plateau of Iran
before the migrations. Vice is the Old
inha bitant; virtue is the newcomer,
the immigrant, received with reluc
lance and compelled to fight for every
inch of ground he gains.-David Ora

Ants Eggs.

The egg of the ant is uniform,
smooth, tight and bright, without any
division. When the larva has come
from it only very thin membrane is
left, which rolls up and is reduced to
an imperceptible point, and even If the
egg does not hatch it is still so small
as to escape the eyes This Is why
these eggs are so little known, for what
is commonly and improperly called the
egg is really the larva and is endowed
with life and motion. These eggs, or
rather these larvae, of ants are very
much sought after by barnyard fowl

st. Louis, June 19.-The ST. Louis
Typographical union has rescinded it's
action of June 8 accepting a contract
calling for a nine-hour day and an adj

that if the nine-hour contract was not

Sheridan'S Trap.

Any interruption while he was max

Brinsley Sheridan considerable annoy
ance. On one occasion the dramatist
showed his displeasure of a fellow
member Of the house Of commons who
kept crying out Hear, hear every
few minutes. During certain debate
Sheridan took occasion to describe a
political contemporary who wished to
play rogue, but had only sense enough
to act fool. Where" exclaimed he,
with great emphasis" where shall we
find a more foolish knave or a more
knavish fool than hep
Hear, hear" was shouted by the
troublesome member.
Sheridan turned and, thanking the
honorable member for the prompt in
formation, sat down amid a general
roar Of laughter.

The ManteIpiece Bottle Experiment..

Ihe ManteIp1ece Bottle Experiment.
You find yourself on a picnic perhaps
without a corkscrew and with lot Of
bottles, all of them with corks in them
Hardly anybody knows what to do
The solution of the difficulty is, how
ever, it seems, perfectly simple: ''Place
the bottle, cork downward, upon the
edge of an ordinary mantelpiece,
steadying it, of course, with the hand.
Then with a slight impulse turn it so
that it falls upon the ground on it's
base. Pick it up, and you will find that
the cork has started. It is sometimes
necessary to repeat the operation be-
fore the cork can be withdrawn with
the fingers. A first experiment with
full bottle of water tightly corked is
advisa ole A fall direct from that
height will have no desirable result"
The present writer can testify to the
efficacy of this minor art" He had,

A BOttOHIeSs Pit.

There is bottOmless pit in the noun
tains Of Hualalai, back of Kailua in
the Hawaiian Islands. It Is about four
feet in diameter The pit is peculiar
from the fact that it sucks in the air
with remarkable force. Pieces of pa
per placed over the mouth do not float
gently down, but are suddenly drawn
in and disappear with startling rapidi-
ty. The air rushing into the pit can be
distinctly felt by people standing on
the edge. Strange sounds are heard
also. Every night the inhabitants Of
the locality distinctly hear noise SIM
liar to the blowing of a deep steamship
whistle The noise is heard for about
five seconds and then subsidies for a
space of about ten minutes and then
resumes for another five seconds.
