STORY Of BIC BRYAN Demonstration

but New York remained unmoved.
Spontaneous as Beldam.
The madmen capered' to Minnesota.
But the seven strong men and true
grouped the Minnesota banner and
held it fast. Some Kansas fellows
were going to steal it and the word
got to Minnesota and she got ready
for a fight. There was a fight over
the New Jersey banner, and a struggle
to get Delaware to move. The crowd
in the galleries saw the milling of
the human ants on the floor and
bawled itself hoarse at the crazy
sight.
Spontaneous at Bedlam.
The roar of the crowd was growing
steadier and the march of the de-
lighted demons on the floor was
growing more and more grotesque. 1t
was more than spontaneous; it was
accidental, and as the crowd went
wild the reporters thought of poor
General Clayton. who has been work.
ing for two weeks on his speech as
permanent chairman to arouse just
the demonstration that Gore called
forth. There were eagles on perches
dancing above the crazy crowd, cow
girls marching through the throng
yelling, bands footing in the breath
ing spells, favorite daughters of the
various delegations on the platform
waving the banners of the states.
There were banners of marching clubs
noticed banners like that of Michi-
gan, bedizened in gold with the mot
to of the Omaha platform, Equal
rights to all. special privileges to-
none" There were old men and
young men gyratlng in the din and
the noise never faltered nor needed
claque TO keep it going, and the
clock went round and half way round
again as this pandemonium ragged, |
and above it all there was the pale
face OF Grover Cleveland, the leader
forgotten. the prophet whose doctrine
was discarded, solemnly gazing down
on the scene.
And still Georgia did not bulge. The
young man who directed the music !
in the gallery saw the delegates |
crowding around Georgia, and being
a young man and from north of Mason
and Dixon's line. he played Marching
Georgia" and that set the
hair on Georgia, and nothing of the
north could have budged her. And
so, slowly the roar died down and
the convention went back to sanity.
Greatest Made in America.
But it was great demonstration
the greatest ever made in America.
The so minutes cheering to Roosevelt
was goodby to party leader. 1t
will be interesting to watch and wait
for another four years to roll around
and to note whether the demonstra-
ton OF goodby to the leader whom
this. convention honored will be as
sincere and hearty as that with which
he is greeted today.
The calm, pale face of Grover Cleve-
land, looking across at Thomas JEFF
ferson on the other side Of the hall,
might have winked slyly as he thought
OF the little sigh Of goodby which the
bestowed on him yester-
day How soon we are forgotten
when we are gone.

Minnesota.

Minneapolis.-The first definition Of
gross earnings" in the history of the
state was given by the supreme court
yesterday morning in a suit of the
state against the Minnesota & Inter
national Railway company for taxes
on unreported earnings. The state
wins on a majority of it's claims, and
those involving the largest amount of
money, and in the establishment of
the principles will enable the state to
collect thousands of dollars from a
number of the thirty-five railroads do
ing business in the state.
The decision says that the earnings
OF a railroad, for the purposes Of tax
alton, should not be confined to the
returns on the actual traffic earnings.
The lower court gave the state taxes
upon two items involved in the suit
and the higher court adds eight addi-
tional items in the seventeen claimed
by the state.
The court holds that the road in ad-
dition to it's receipts for transporta-
ton should pay taxes on receipts from
lumber companies for loading cars for
the companies, for the use of railway
equipment by construction concerns
and for the use Of work trains by
other roads. Income derived from in
terest on deposits, from the sale of
old material and what might have
been received from charging for haul
ing its own supplies, is not taxable.
