Tndorse..lent of Bryan.

The Endorsement of Bryan for the
presidency was done through a resolu-
ton offered by George Fred Williams
from the floor, after many of the dele
gates had left and just before adj
journment. It was declared carried on
viva voce vote. and was bitterly OPP
posed by Granville S. Mcfarland, OF
Cambridge, the secretary of the Moran
campaign committee. In unequivocal
language he charged that the Bryan
resolution had been presented with
''felorious intent" He declared that if
Moran was present at the convention
he would not sanction any such move.

Two Rescuers Die.

Superintendent William Leckie, Of
the mine, who entered the mine as one
of the rescuing party, had a narrow es-
cape from death. He was overcome
by the fumes and had to be carried
out. Edward Jones, the inside mine
foreman. led the first rescue party, and
when that party failed to return in Il
reasonable time a second rescue par
ty under Superintendent Leclde fol
lowed. Two of the Leckie party. John
Oldham and Ed Brown, were overcome
by gas and died and Leckie barely es--
capped with his life. Then the third

Substance of the Platform.

The resolutions held that it was
Democracy's duty to wrest the govern
ment from the grasp of powerful
hypocrites" who have posed as Gus
todians of the national honor" and
who have drained mighty fortunes
through the vile channels of their
monopoly, frauds, thefts, poisonings
and violence" Finally the platform
indorsed the leadership and Democra-
cy Of both Bryan and Hearst An at
tempt to reconsider the Hearst resolu-
ticn was defeated. The Endorsement
OF Hearst's Democracy and of his lead
ership in New York was the first rock
On which the convention was split.
Neither Bryan nor Hearst was sup
ported fer the next presidential nonl-
nation in the platform, but both were
praised.

During the past week three Somerset
County citizens have found to their sor-
row that the state prohibitory law in the
hands Of al efficient sheriff aud his de-
putles Is not thing which can be vo-
lated with impnnity, and their attempts
in this direction have proved rather an
expensive experiment
Two Of the offenders were brought
before Judge Bachelor at session of
the Municipal Court held last Saturday
morning. Edward smith Of Harmony
who was arrested as pocket peddler,
pleaded not guilty to the charge Of sin
gle sale brought against him, and
through his counsel Geo. W. Cover

by the court to 30 days IN jail and fine

appeal from this decision and furnished
bonds in the sum of $4,000 Joseph

he pleaded guilty. and was fined $50 90

On Monday morning Harry Smith of

agent informs us as to the exemptions
that electric lighting and manufacturing
plants are constructed according to
specifications furnished by the insurance
people and in such manner as to be
guarded from all external hazard. AS
this 20 cents is added to property in the
confagration area principally because OF
the menace to each particular building
from nearby structures, they argue that
it is but fair to exempt the factory
buildings, protected az they are by auto
matte sprinklers and every known de-
vice as specified by the companies them
selves
There is some force to this reasoning,
but after all, when it is recalled that the
main excuse for the additional rate is
that it is necessary to maintain the
financial strength of the companies, and
moreover that factory risks have been
rated very low on account of these same
systems of fire protection, we hardly see
why lD6lT rate bDOulu not De auVRDC6u
if an advance is to be made. In short,
as the advance is to provide needed
revenue and not to correct Inconsistencies
between the rates on protected and un-
protected property, we do not see why
the additional assessment is now added
to one and not to the other SO far as
the steam roads are concerned, they are
out of the discussion because they are
insured by syndicate of companies that
pays very little or no attention to rates
made by the New England Insurance
Exchange.
1t is suggested that the business men
of Skowhegan could insure their own
risks, collecting their own premiums
and paying their own losses. This is
hardly practical, but we believe those of
Somerset county, with their property
scattered through widely separated COM
munities could do SO with undoubted
advantage. Here is the opportunity for
someone to figure out a plan by which
business men of Somerset county may
guarantee themselves against loss by
fire and distribute the burden thereof
equtably upon the property in the
county.
