Washington Correspondence.
BY G. H. TAvENNER.

-
WASHINGTON, July 12.-There
is a vast difference between the
platforms adopted by the Republic
cans at Chicago and the Demo-
Gratis at Baltimore. The Republic
can platform is thoroughly reac-
tionary standpat. 1t prates about
protecting American workmen,"
and "maintaining the American
standard of wages" when every
citizen knows that both of these
are shams and hypocricies. The
Republican platform also is eva
sive, so that in the remote event
Of Republican success, it could be
interpreted in any way the high
tariff bosses might want it inter-
preted.
The Democratic platform, on the
other hand, is specific and definite.
1t promises, not to ''revise the tar
it," but to revise it "downward." +"
Here, briefly, are some of the inn
portant promises in the Dem o.
cratic document:
IA tariff for revenue only
Immediate revision downward
Trust controlled products to go OF
the free list.
| 2-Civil and criminal prosecu'
tion of ftrusts. Lawst to stop monop'
oily and stock watering. Amend
ment to make the Sherman Law
effective.
3-A demand for the ratification
of the amendments for an incom
tax and direct election of senators
Publicity for all recommenda
tions on which Presidential ap
pointments are made; also for al
campaign funds in national cleo
tions.

mitteemen. Use of money by cor
porations at elections to be mad
unlawful.

7-Supervision of railroad, tel
egraph, telephone and expires
, rates.
8-Revision Of the banking law
to prevent concentration and mis-
use of money. No government de-
posits in favored banks.

HIS BOLD BLUFF WON.

How a Clever Beat Worked One of
 New York's Exclusive Clubs. 7 It is about as hard for stranger to get beyond the portals of an exclusive New York club as it is for the pro- verbal camel to get through the nee dles eye. But New York clubdom is laughing over how one clever person put it over'' one of the city's best clubs recently.
 A well dressed man drove up in a taxicab and strode into the club. The dOOrman opened the way for him, and he walked up to the desk.
 Send a boy out for my bags, will youY' he began, and the clerk rang the bell for one of the club boys.
 "A good room, please, if there arc any left tonight" said the newcomer, with a bath"
 "Yes, sir; we have 21s, a very good room, sir" --.
 "Good! I had that room here a cou- pie of years ago." ..z s......
 The bags were brought in, the boy showed the way to the elevator and soon the man was comfortably settled in his room. Downstairs he came in a few minutes and stroIled out to the grill room. There he had couple of drinks, smoked a cigar and took away box of the club cigarettes. He signed "chit''-in other words, club check-for what he had bought and walked out. An hour later he came back and went into the dining room, where he ordered the best the club had. prefacing his meal with a couple of cocktails. Again he signed ''chit."
 ''Taxi, please" he demanded when he came back to the office after taking a couple of Havanas from the case. signing as usual.
 It Is the custom in all smart clubs to provide cabs for members. they signing checks for them and settling at the end of the month when their bill comes In. The man drove off, went to the theater with lady he called for. kept the cab the entire evening, took her home and then re- turned to the club for a nightcap and a cigar. Then he went upstairs to bed. Next morning he was down bright and early.
 "Send boy up for my bags" he said, land get me a taxi I've got to catch the 9:2O traln.'
 He had a hearty breakfast. took pOcketful of cigars. lighted one at the desk, a porter carried his baggage to the cab and away he went.
 When the clerks came to enter the checks in the ledger 1t was found that this man was not member of the club and was not even a guest of a member. His name was not on, the list. { There was bit of jolt in the club office on bill day.-New York World

MILLET's RIOT IN coLoRs.
The Artist Enrassd the Critics, bUt
 Forced Recoonition.

The Artist Enrassd the Critics, but Forced Recognition.
 In has early years as an artist the
 late Frank D. Millet had hard strug-
 gle to gain recognition. He sent pic lures to exhibitions, to be sure, and good pictures they were, but no one paid any particular attention to them or said anything about them.
 One day Millet conceived an idea.
 He painted a picture of lady in black sitting on a bright red sofa, standing against a vivid yellow background. The effect was just a trife startling. Friends who saw it in the process of production expostulated with him and asked him what he was going to do with it. They were astounded when he announced that he was going to send it to the exhibition. They told him the critics would wipe the floor" with him. They can't do that with out mentioning me-" said Millet quiet Iy, land they've never even done that. as yet
 To the exhibition the picture went. It killed everything within twenty feet on either side of it. You couldn't help looking at 1t. It simply knocked you down and held you there.
 The critics got into towering pas sion over 1t. They wrote whole col umns about 1t. They exhausted the English language in abusing 1t. They ridiculed the committee that permit ted it to be hung. They had squibs and gibes about it, but every time they spoke of 1t they mentioned Frank Mill let He suddenly became the best known artist in town. Somebody, be- cause of the stir 1t had made. bought the picture at a good price and re- moved it to the seclusion of his own home.
 When the next exhibition came off Millet had another picture ready, one of very different sort and very good, but no better than others which he had exhibited before. The critics had much to say about 1t and noted with pleas ure the marked improvement" that MT. Millet had made. ''an evidence" as they modestly put 1t, ''of the value of criticism, even though severe, to a young artist" And the majority of them never realized that Millet had simply compelled their attention by a clever trick.

WOlsey Is said to have first won royal favor in this way. He was charged with a message from Henry VII. to the Emperor Maximilian in the Low Countries and left London in the afternoon. He went by boat to Gravesend. by horse to Dover, then by boat again to Calais, and he was with the emperor the following even ing and back to the king in just over two days from the time of starting.

BROOM FACTORY BUSY
j. G. Miller Il Son Are Now Turning
Out First-Class Brooms in
Ashland.

One of Ashland's small industries,
which it is hoped will develop into a
good-sized affair, is the broom fac
tory established by ]. G. Miller &
Son on their ranch east of this city.
They have put in up-to-date machin-
cry for the work, operated by cleo
trical power, and have already turned
out several dozen brooms ana have
orders for more. The broom corn
used was raised in the Bear creek
valley a short distance below Ash
land and proves a first-class quality.
Mr.. Miller is an experienced broom
maker and should have the patron
age of every firm handling brooms in
the valley. If housewives would all
insist on having Ashland-made
brooms it would help build up an in
dustry which would mean much for
the city. They have Droom corn for
a large output stored in their wares
house.
