THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

1t is now conceded that Mr.. Bryan
will be the nominee of the Democrats
for president when the Denver con-
vention meets, so the interest turns
largely upon the platform.
The. announcement comes from
New York that Tammany proposes to
make Mr.. Alton B. Parker the New
York member of the committee on
resolutions and that he is 10 be made
chairman of the committee and is to
write the platform.
IL will be remembered that when
Mr.. Parker was nominated for presi-
dent four years ago the platform did
not suit him, so he amended it by
telegraph. Whether that helped him
or hurt him no one can now tell.
1t is hardly probable that Mr.. Par
ker will be allowed to write Mr..
Bryan's platform. Mr.. Bryan is him
self a good deal of platform maker
and he has desire TO determine for
himself what the issues of the COM
ing campaign shall be.
In 1896 Mr.. Bryan's speech, which
got him the nomination, was made
in explanation of the Democratic
platform. In 1900 he was the plat
form maker of the convention. 1t is
generally understood that he cares
more for. the platform than he does
for the nomination.
Nevertheless, the suggestion from
New York that Mr. Parker be made
chairman of the committee and be
backed in shaping the platform to
suit the eastern Democrats is worth

STANDARD INQUIRY SHOWS
HOW CONCERN OILS WORLD
Referee Given Some Idea of How Cor
poration Has Placed its Galena
Lubricant i'm Southern Re-
publics. Europe and Egypt.

NEW YORK, June S-The Galena
Signal Oil company's experiences in
lubricating axles and preventing hot
boxes and other troubles the world
over was the single topic considered
yesterday at the Standard Oil hearing
before Special Referee Farris at the
Custom House. +. V. Sedgwick, an
expert of the Galena company, told of
his experiences in introducing the
Galena lubricating oil in South AM
erica, where all the railroad people
came originally from Missouri and
you had to show" them. He said
that he believed that 80 per cent of
the railroads in Brazil, Chile. Peru.
Argentina. Bolivia and Venezuela
used the Galena product. Mr.. Sedg-
wick had also done some oihng in
Europe. In England, Denmark and
Sweden the Gaiena oil was used on
AZ government roads Ireland, Spain,
Italy, Switzerland, Algeria. Egypt
Holland and Belgium were all users
of Galena lubricant The witness also
testified to the use of the lubricant on
street railroads, and this lead Moritz
Rosenthal, chief counsel for the
VI vi toihDdnNs W VI ih5 out
by questions the information that
street railroads didn't carry freight
and that so far as the witness knew
had no Standard Oil officers among
their directors.
William Walsh, another expert,
whose business is to show the rail
road employees how to use Galena oil
to the best advantage, told how he
did his work He said that some
times he hired hall and gave
lectures on hot boxes. His work was
confined mostly to Chicago, Mil
waukee. st. Paul and the New York,
| Chicago & st. Louis roads. He had
passes on all the roads where he
taught the use of lubricants for the
Galena company, and he was not an
employe of those roads. Expert Mac
Vicar also testified to having passes
on the various railroads where his
work lay. He was not an employe OF
the roads
The matter of passes was explained
by the Standard Oil lawyers, who said
that according to ruling by the In
terstate Commerce Commission the
railroads We're allowed TO issue passes
to men not in their employ but who
performed expert service for them.

If the repeal of the duties on paper
and wood pulp would, the majority
of the house committee says, ruin the
manufacturers, il would be because
the price of paper would decline.
But, says this committee, the repeal
would not affect prices. Then, in
the name of all logic, why oppose it?

HAMMOND FOR VICE PRESIDENT

Announcement of the candidacy OF
John Hays Hammond for the vice
presidency of the United States does
not impress informed men as in the
nature of facetia. 1t is no joke. II
is good, hard sense He may get the
nomination. If he does. then the big
gest mining authority in the nation
will have carried the honors of pro-
ductive craft to the second highest
place in the nation.
Mr.. Hammond was born in San
Francisco in 1855. He was educated
in the public schools of that city, and
Is a graduate of the Sheffield Scien-
tific school: is a Yale bachelor of
philosophy, and has completed the
course in the Royal School of Mines
at Freiburg, Saxony. He has been a
high priced consulting and advising
authority for the government, and
for many big corporations. He has
been over a good deal of the world,
and was one of the men whose judg-
ment contributed to the wealth of
Cecil Rhodes and of Barney Barnato
in South African fields. He was one
of the Jameson raiders, though OPP
posing the violent policy of the re-
nowned doctor who led his followers
to Majuba hill. He has been worth
enough to pay fine of more than
a hundred thousand dollars to the
Transvaal government for his part in
the invasion of the South African re-
publics, thus escaping the execution
of the death sentence passed upon
him.
And it is said he was the highest
salaried man in the world.
But, aside from all that: John
Hays Hammond would honor the Of
fee of vice president because he is
fit for the place. He is man of big
affairs, acquainted with big men in
every land. and practiced in his
thoughts. His experience as a stu
dent and lecturer fit him for the
place of president of the senate. And
il untoward fate should remove the
president of the United States, this
man would faithfully and capably fill
the unexpired term. That is a con-
tingency always to be considered in
the selection of vice president.
1t would have an excellent effect
on the mining business. People over
the United States do not as a rule
take a serious view of mining. They
regard 1t as a means of losing money;
q great big gamble, in which the in
weston never gets anything he wants
That view is unfair to mining. The
advancement of Mr.. Hammond would
lead to better understanding of the
subject. 1t would help to put honest
mining in proper light before the ma
ton. 1t would do much to make an
end of the illegitimate methods of
the few who have dishonored the
craft.-Inter-Moun Republican.

by one vote, but in so doing there

The matter was argued before Judge

which gave Elvick majority and
possibly the victory, were not counted

Governor Hughes said in part:
IF you examine Mr. Bryan's rem

you will find not only that it is not
practicable, but that 1t is chimerical,
undemonstrable and weaker under ar
alysis. Mr.. Bryan proposes for one
thing, that the corporations shall be

country great service by being twice
defeated. Had he been elected twelve
years ago he would not be a candidate
now, but would have gone down in
the disaster of his own fallacies."
In a speech here last night Gov.
Charles e. Hughes of New York thus
summed up why he was working for
the defeat of the democratic candidate
for president. Mr.. Bryan's proposed
remedies for the correction of national
evils, said Governor Hughes, were

The governor, after speaking at four

next five days is to take him through

farmers, greeted him at Lacrosse, Wis,

other stops.
