PLATFoRM FoR DEMOCRATS.
Senator Rayner Outlines II at Jeffer'
son Banquet.

New York. April l6.-Senator lsidor
Rayner. OF Maryland speaking az the
Democratic Club banquet. IN honor OF
Jefferson's birthday, at the Waldorf
Astoria, outlined platform for the
party In 1903.
After defining state rights as mean
ing the government shall not legislate
upon matters purely OF local and do
metic concern. and by unlawful con
struction interpolate such a power in
to the provisions OF the constitution
Senator Rayper declared government
dwnsrship OF railroads AN undesirable
dream. which viii not come true un-
less the manipulators themselves
force II. and continued
There is another proposition that
the Democratic party must maintain
unless II has drifted away entirely
from its anchorage. and that is thas
this is not an executive government,
that the governmental distribution of
powers provided for in the constitu-
tlon must be preserved: aud that the
President of the United States. TO
whatever party he may belong. must
not exceed the functions of his Office
and encroach upon the remaining de-
partments OF the government.

II have said over and over again
that | recognize the great and wonder
ful resources of the president his
commanding ability. his intense and
ardent patriotism. the marvellous sue
cess of his undertakings. and his phe.
nominal popularity with the people,
but the fear that possesses me is that
some feeble successor In either party
who rsay have less ability and patriot
ism than he has may ignore these fun
damental distipctions and attempt &C.
divert our Institutions from the plans
and purposes of their creation"
Senator Rayner then outlined his
views on a Democratic platform.
II would make It brief and peril
nent. he said Il would eliminate the
customary and monotonous indict-
ments against the opposition for
crimes that they have never commit
ted. and J would omit all reference to
the virtues that we propose to prac-
tice in the event of our success
would, OF course, incorporate plank
for a low tariff and for commercial
reciprocity with the trading nations
OF the world would then aIS a
plank declaring that there is no such
thing as an unwritten constitution of
the United States: that If i5. requires
change IL must be amended, not by
Secretary Root but by the snffrages of
the people; and that il is treasona-
Bile act TO insert into It whether by
judicial constitution or otherwise. any
power or grant that is not confined
within the well defined AUTHORITY and
limitations OF the instrument.
'ln obedience 10 the constitution |
would then mequivocally declare for
the supremacy OF the states, and not
yield the smallest portion of their
sovereign rights over matters OF local
and domestic concern that lie clearly
within their province and their iuris-
diction
Il would then explicitly announce
that the Democratic party IS in favor
Of the strict and impartial enforce
ment of every federal enactment up
on the statue book and that the great
er and more powerful the criminal
who violates II, the more severe
should be the penalties that ought to
be visited upon hin.
II would then announce that the
party Is not in favor OF territorial ex-
pansion; that our arms should be
stacked and halt should be called in
our march OF aggrandizement; and
that while We do not object 10 this
government becoming a world power
upon the field OF commerce and of en-
terprise and Of civilization. upon tho
field Of war we do not propose 20 unite
with other robber governmc ats In the
despoilment OF foreign territory and in
the conquest OF helpless races.

The season averages are nearly a
month late and many correspondents
refrain from committing themselves to
close estimates until the crop has ad-
vanced to further maturity. Much of
the seed has not yet sprouted, but
where stands have been obtained they
are generally poor. In regard to the
condition the persistence Of unfavor-
able weather has discouraged planters,

it had come-that he had only few
hours to live. He received the an
nouncement unmoved and had his
family and negroes summoned around
him. After giving detailed instruc-
tions to be carried out by each of
them after his death, he read Psalm
and gave out hymn. His daughters
attempted to sing, but broke down,
sobbing. He then took it up himself,
and, after singing it, sent all back t.
bed again. Then feeling himself duly
shriven, he waited to die in the odor
Of sanctity.
The next morning he found him
self still alive, and as Mr.. Hamilton
Stewart, who had been his guest, was
obliged to set out to Galveston, he
became the bearer of Houston's fare

tell my enemies I am not dead yet"
the veteran added, feeling some Of
the old unsanctifed fighting spirit
coming back in spite of the shrift.
Unwilling to surrender TO. any en-
emy, he fought death back in that
grapple, and lived to remind his op-
ftical enemies that his predictions Of
the results of the war were being
realized. But his last words in a
speech delivered in March, 1863,
when he felt himself very near death,
were a declaration that the welfare
and glory Of Texas would always be
the thought uppermost in his mind as
long as he had spark of life remain
ing. That was true, and when he
died, July %, 1863, Texas lost It's
truest friend and the North Amer
lean continent one of its most heroic
characters.

THE FARMER NEGLECTED.

The absence of farmers in our law
making bodies has been frequently
commented upon during late years,
and it is being insisted that they
should be literally represented, as
they furnish such large proportion
OF the citizens to be governed by the
laws made. It looks reasonable that
the farmer should know what is best
for him, and what is best for him is
undoubtedly best for the whole coun-
try, everything being dependent upon
the agricultural classes. A gentleman
writing from Washington to one Of
our Mississippi papers has the follow
ing to say anent the absence Of farm
ers iii DUR National laW-making body:
"During my thirteen years resi-
dence at the National Capitol, I have
observed that every interest In the
country is organized and represented
here, except the farmer. The farm
ers alone have stood aloof from con-
sohdation and combination. I am
glad, however, that they are at last
realizing that If they are to secure
their rights in the nation and in the
states they must band themselves to-
gether in a compact union, in order
to have their demands more speedily
recognized. Senators and representa-
tives in Congress pay tribute to Or
ganized labor, to organized capital
and to organized business interests of
all kinds, but, strange to say, the
farmer has few genuine defenders in
the legislative halls, national and
state"
The statements made by the gentle
man are correct and furnish food for
much thought and consideration. The
agricultural classes should be repre-
sented according to their strength,
and careful watch kept with an eye
for legislation that is fair and right
to all parties concerned. Nothing Of
a discriminating nature should be con-
tended for, but for "equal justice to
all and special privileges to none. -

Georgians aren't very greatly in
love with the foreign immigration
idea. Georgia for Georgians isn't
altogether bad slogan. Still there
are some waste places in the state

it is altogether probable that wheth-
er Georgians want it or not new peo-
pie will come in to develop them. I'm
migration is largely an economic mat
ter and settlers generally go where
they may natural expect to find op-
portunities for creating something by
industry and labor. We do not know
but that the effort to force immigra-

GOOD ADVICE.
By Benjamin Franklin.

"But, ali! think what you do
when you run in debt; you give to
another power over your liberty"
"The second vice is lying, the first
is running in debt
"But poverty often deprives a
man of all spirit and virtue; tits
hard for an empty bag to stand up
right"
"Those have a short Lent, saith
Poor Richard, who owe money to be
paid at Easter. Then, since, as he
says, the borrower is a slave to the
lender. and the debtor is to the cred
itor, disdain the chain, preserve your
freedom, and maintain your indepeu-
dency; be industrious and free; be
frugal and free"
eff you know how to spend less
than you get, you have the philoso-
piers stone"
Again, he that sells upon credit
asks a price for what he sells equiv
alent to the principal and interest
of his money for the time he is like
to be kept out of it; therefore.
"He that buys upon credit pays
interest for what he buys.
"Yet, in buying goods, it's best to
pay ready money, because,
"He that sells upon credit expects
to lose 5 per cent by bad debs
therefore he charges on all he sells
upon credit an advance that SHALL
make up that deficiency.
"Those who pay for what they
buy upon credit pay their share of
this advance.
"He that pays ready money es-
capes, or may escape, that charge. "

HOUSTON IN HIS OLD AGE.

fight Sam Houston was making.
His principal opponent was Sen
ator Wigfall, and it is related as
fair example of Houston's cam
paigning methods that after speak
ing in town in Eastern Texas
where Wigfall was to reply to him he
said in concluding:
II am told there is a little fellow
by the name of Wigfall, or Some
such name, following me about and
trying to answer what I say. What
he tells you will be a pack of lies"
This studied insOlencb delighted
people who might have been disguised
with it in anyone other than Houston.
1t pleased them in him as a part of
the same picturesque egotism which
made him wear his Mexican blanket
into the senate chamber And it is
not likely that anyone knew better
than Houston himself just how far
he could go in such eccentricities
without having them become unprof-
liable.
Elected governor by a majority of
more than 33 per cent Of the total
vote of the stats, Houston was in
augurated in 1859, and in his first
message to the legislature he declared
that "Texas would maintain the con-
stitution and stand by the union"
but he mistook the meaning of his
victory. 1t was largely a demon
stration of the personal affection felt
for him by the masses of the Tevas
people. 1t meant, too, that a major
ity of them were anxious to stay in
any union in which they were likely
to remain as comfortable as they
thought they were entitled to be. But
it hardly meant more than that. Such
unconditional union men as Hous-
ton were in a minority, as were the
unconditional secessionists. The ma
jority were opportunists, waiting and
hoping that times would grow bet
ter and all the misfortune threat
ened by the slavery agitation would
be avoided.
After the election Of Lincoln and
the secession of South Carolina,
Houston began to waver. as did near
ly all the other unconditional union
men in the south. Still he did not
surrender. He fought the secession
lists, tooth and nail, as long as he had
standing room.
At the south, as at the north, it
was loudly asserted by the dema-
gogues and braggarts of the day that
there would be no fighting worth men-
tioning. Wherever Houston found
opportunity to face an audience Of
secessionists, it gave him the greatest
satisfaction to beard them and tell,
not only that they were inviting
a most tremendous fight, but that
they were sure to be whipped. He
was Sam Houston Of San Jacinto.
over 20 years old, of majestic stat
ure and with venerable gray hair
thrown back from his face-a heroic
figure truly as he bullied his oppon-
ents in his last struggle with the in
