Writes a Platform for the Demo-
 cruts.
 MT. Doolcy" writes about the democratic party In the July Ameri can Magazine Here Is part of what he says about the doings at Denver on the 7th of July:
 Tt takes all kinds iy men to make up tn Dimmocratlc party. an thin there are hardly enough They come to tn conWntlon firm ivry corner W tn earth. firm th' pn-clad hills iv Maine, where th' clos season fir a Dlmmycrat is on'y two months, to tn banks iv tn Rio Grande, where a re- publican has to go over 10 Mexico to vote. They'll all be there
 They'll be ivry diff'rent kind iv a Dimmycrat iver l seen. There1l be Dimmycrats who believe tn protec- tive tariff shud be destroyed. an those that believe 1t shud be tickled. Tn Dimmycratic party has niver altered in its opposition to a protictiye tariff. It recognizes In this system tn soorces iv preedytory wealth, an nanny iv tn ills that our body polytiCk is sub jick to, includn' tn happiness iv tn few. It recognizes thim an is glad to recognize thim, How dye do? How are ye?'
 Following are a few of the gems from the platform, as "Dooley' sees 1t:
 We favor an income tax, an in comes suitable to support tn same in proper state,
 We believe in rural free delivery. Ivry farmer shud have his bills on tn first iy tn month,
 "On tn currency question we have an impression that we have said enough. Annywan who wishes to know our oninyons on this momen- tous question can look thim up In tn files iy tn papers iv twelve years ago, an may he lose his eyesight doin' it."
 An fin'lly, an this Is where we come in sthrong we denounce an deplore al an slv'ral tn policies iv tn administration now dhrawin to a close Undher this rejeem poverty | has increased ontil 1t is now powerful beyond tn dhreams iv avarice; tn la- borer Is no longer worthy iv his hire, or wasn't ontil little while ago; l fortunes have become swollen ontil they bust; tn coorts are no longer tn refuge iv tn poor and opprissed but l what they were intended to be"

has been the custom of the fresh man class on becoming sophomores to greet him at his home. On June of this year, The Freshman parade" was held, but owing to the former presidents Illness "the parade did not serenade the Cleveland home.
 Last year on this occasion, MT. Cleveland stood on the veranda of his home and spoke for few mo- ments to the assembled collegians.
 Princeton university is closed now, except for q half dozen students who are doing special work.
 The Worlds Coincidence. ....
 The telegrams of coincidence came in by the hundreds from all parts of the United States and other coun- tries during the day and they con tinued to pour into the telegraph or fees here far into the night. Besides President Roosevelt's telegram, mes sages of condolence came from gov ernment officials, governors. legisla- tors. prominent educators and citizens in various walks of life.
 Very few of them. however, were read by Mrs Cleveland. who decided not to attempt to learn of their con tents until she has recovered from the shock caused by her husbands death. Among those who telegraphed or ca bled their condolences were Vice Presl- dent Fairbanks. Gov. Hughes, of New York; Judge Alton B. Parker. of New York Gov Fort, of New Jersey, Whltelaw Reid. American ambassador to Great Britain; Mir and Mrs Andrew Carnegie; Admiral Evans, Judge George Gray. of Delaware; Mayor Me | Clellan, of New York; Gov, smith of Georgia: George R. Cortelyou, secretary of the treasury; Richard Olney Fal- mouth, Mass. Nicholas Murray Butler president of Columbia university; Gov A. L. Harris, Ohio; Secretary oscar Straus of the department of commerce and labor and Gov. Glenn of North Carolina.
 Mir Clevelnnds selection of Prince ton as a place of res dence after leaving the White house, was due to the visit the ex-President and Mrs Cleveland made to Princeton in october, 1896, on the occasion of the sesqul l-centennlal or Princeton university, The Cleyelands were so graciously received and were so impressed with the beauty of the town and Its surroundings that they at once decided to make Princeton their future home. Until MT. Cleveland's health began to fall, two years ago, he contlnsed to be q very busy man. His divs/ions In Princeton were daily car. riage rides and an occasional fishing or gunning trip.

 Funeral to be Privae.
 It was not until late In the day that messages of conference began to come in from all parts of the world to Mrs. Cleveland. One of the first was from President Roosevelt.

Next year the people of Skane are
going to have a great time celebrating
the 250th anniversary of the union of
that part of the country with the
rest of Sweden. The time fixed for
the celebration is the early part of
June. The duke and duchess of Skane
will be in attendance. The great feat
ure of the program will be a historical
parade in the streets of Malmo.
Major General Won Matern reports
to the government that it is harder
than ever to obtain voluntary recruits
for the army. Even the hussar regi-
ment of the crown prince and the
Vende artillery regiment were ham
pered by the same difficulty last year.
In 1906 there were only five vacancies
in those regiments, but in one year
the vacancies increased to 1O6. The
Skane hussar regiment had 2S2 places
that could not be filled. Higher pay
seems to be the only remedy.
The class lottery of the city of Ham.
burg, Germany, is said to be doing
more than half of its business in
Sweden. Last year over $4,000 lottery
tickets were sold in Sweden, and the
receipts of the company from Sweden
was about one million dollars. What
sort of business proposition this is
to Sweden may be seen from the fact
that only $4,000 was paid back to
Swedes as prizes, only about s cents
on every dollar invested. The above
figures are used as an argument in
favor of resuming a Swedish state
lottery.
A number OF Sweden's most noted

NEWS OF MINNESOTA.
STATE BANKS.

Minneapolis-The strength and
sOundness of the Minnesota state
banks as well as the confidence Of the
people in the banks is shown by a
comparative statement just issued by
Public Examiner Anton Schaefer. The
statement shows the conditions of the
banks last year as shown by their
reports of Nov. IL. 1906, and their
condition on Dec. 3, the date of the
last call this year.
The statement shows that there was
a falling off in the total of the re.
sources and liabilities of about $3.-
100000 as compared with last year,
Notwithstanding that during the time
between the two reports the Security
Bank of Minneapolis. with total of
resources and liabilities of over $14,-
100000 had been converted into ma.
tional bank. So that instead of the
apparent decrease of $3,O0O,O 900 there
has been q net gain of about $11 ,OO0,-
900.
Between the dates of the two re.
ports there was an increase Of 81
state banks, and comparison of the
statements Of those banks included
In the 1906 statement with their con-
ditions is commented on by Mr..
Schaefer as follows:
Taking only the $50 state banks
included in both the call of Dec. 3,
1907. and that Of Nov. IL, 1906, which
makes a just and fair basis of Com
parison of true condition, there is a
net increase. in round numbers, of
$1,S00,000 in cash on hand, $4,000, 900
in loans and discounts, and $3,500,000
in time certificates of deposit, with no
shrinkage whatever in any principal
item of banking resources.
