THE DEMOCRATIC CONFERENCE
AT SARATOGA.

The conference at Saratoga last
week was largely attended by the
democratic leaders of the State OF
New York, and the temper of the
speeches and the creed formally pro.
claimed are certainly encouraging to
democrats everywhere.
New York is the home of many
men of great wealth. Ex-senator
Hill, although democrat, opposed
federal income tax on the ground
that few rich states would contrib.
ute most of the tax and receive no
proportionate benefit in return. In
view of all the facts it is exceeding
ay gratifying to learn that the dem
ocratic leaders Of the Empire State
are in favor of an income tax.
The Conference organized Demo
cratic League, which will perfect
branches in every county of the
state This Democratic League will
not oppose the present democratic
state organization, but expects to be
able to shape its future policy.
The Democrats of New York, in
formulating what they CALI Their
New Creed, have done little more
than to adopt the old creed of the
Bryan democrats of the West and
South.
! Here is the New Creed of the
New York democrats:
THE Democrats assembled i'm con
ference at Saratoga Springs Sept. S
and 1O,1 900, announce the following
as their understanding of certain es-l
sential Democratic principles and
policies:
"a strict construction of constitu
tons, both State and Federal, that
the rights of the State and people
\ respectively may be preserved.
Loyal support of the Federal Gov
eminent in the exercise of all its
constitutional powers, eternal vigi
lance in watching and detecting and
vigorous opposition to any and all
extensions Of Federal power thai
trench upon those reserved to the
States or to the Icop]e.
"a tariff for revenue only; no Gov
ernmental subsidies to special inter
ests, either directly or through pro
rectiye tariff.
Equal ard uniform taxation, TAX
ing no more money from the people
than the just reeds of government
economically administered require.
THE abandonment at the earliest
practicable moment of our imperial
istic venture in the Philippine Is
lands, first safeguarding their indie.
pendence by sufficient guarantees.
Steady adherance to the principle
of home rule and local self-govern
.ment by the State and each of its pc
l.tical subdivisions.
Rigid economy in governmental
expenditures.
Election of United States Sena
tors by direct vote of the people.
Reform in our registration ant
enrolment laws, SO that persona
registration and enrolment shall BIZ
required in every political srb-divi
sion of the State.
Reform in our methods of cleo
ton, SO tllat each elective Officer
shall be the separate, deliberate ant
intelligent selection of the voters o
the State.
Reform in our methods eff nomi
mating candidates for public office s
that nominating conventions shall b.

Sioux Falls, s. d., Oct. 16.-While
returning home after marketing a
quantity of grain, w. II. Lille, prom
inent farmer of Jerauld county, had an
interesting experience with a holdup
man who, in his way, was one of the
most modest of holdup men. 1t was
dark when Lille started home with
the proceeds from the grain carefully
tucked in his inside pocket. At the
darkest and most lonely point on the
road the holdup man suddenly sprang
from a place of concealment and seiz
ed the brides of Lilies horses. The
animals were brought to a full STOP
and the holdup man started toward
the wagon, with the demand that Lille
hand over to him one-half the cash re
ceiyed in payment for the grain. Why
he did not demand the whole of it is
a mystery. Lille, as soon as he noted
that the holdup man had released his
hold of the horses, suddenly slashed
them with the whip. The animals
smarting under the sting of the whip
sprang forward and, after hard run
Lille succeeded in making his escape
from the would-be robber.
