WASHINGTON LETTER.
by c. II. Tavenner.

Washington. - There is q vast
difference between the platforms
adopted by the Republicans at
Chicago and the Democrats at
Baltimore. The Republican plat
form is thoroughly reactionary
aud standpat. 1t does not con-
cede that the last Republican adj
ministrations have erred in their
tariff policy, Notwithstanding The
almost universal verdict of the
country to the contrary. This
platform prates about protecting
American Workmen, "and main
flaming the American standard of
wages. " when every citizen with
a grain of intelligence knows
that both of these are shams and
hypocricies. The Republican plat
form is also evasive, so that in the
remote event of Republican sue
cess at the polls. it could be inter-
preted in any way the high tariff
bosses might want it interpreted.
The Democratic platform, on
the other hand, is specific and
definite. 1t Epledges the party
! to an exact policy. without anV
attempt at evasion. Itpromises,
mot to revise the tariff" but to
revise it downward" The
wording is 50 plain and so definite
that child could understand lis
meaning and intent. Here, brief
Ily, are some of the important
promises in the Democratic docu-
ment:
IA tariff for revenue only.
Immediate revision downward.
Trust controlled products to go
on the free list.
2-Civil and criminal prosecu-
ton of trusts. Laws to stop mo-
nopoly and stock watering. A
mendment to make the Sherman
law effective.
ga demand for the ratifica-
ton of the amendments for an
Income tax and direct election of
Senators.
4-Publiclty Of all recommend
ations on which Presidential APP
pointments are made, for the
ownership of newspapers, and for
all campaign funds in national ell
ections.
5-Presidential primaries and
popular election Of national COM
mitteemen. The use of money
/ by corporations at elections to be
made unlawful.
Ga single term for the Pres
ident.
z Supervision of railroad, tel
egraph, telephone and express
rates.
8 Revision of the banking
laws to prevent concentration and
the misuse of money. No gov
eminent deposits in favored
| banks.
Laws to improve the rivers
and prevent floods.
10 Restriction of the judiciary
to its proper functions.
IL Philippine independence,
and territorial government for
Alaska. Trial by jury in cases of
indirect contempt. Encourage
ment of the merchant marine.
but no subsidies. Parcels post
and postal express, and extension
of rural delivery. Conservation
that does not interfere with the
rights of bona fide settlers.
II Extension Of the civil SER
vice, and no abridgement of the
right of federal employees to
petition forredress Of grievances.

An interesting Column of Items cuIIed
 From Exchanges.

Douglas International: c. II. i Hester, who was tried in the feder- al court at Phoenix this week on charges of smuggling 1900 head of tick.infected cattle cross the inter ternational line near Douglas, was fined $500. Judge D. A. Richard | son of the firm of Richardson < l Doan, who represented him, re- turned this morning with the in- formation and stated that Hester paid the fine.
 Florence Blade Tribune: Geo. Smith sent to Missouri for a lot of seed corn of the Early Dent variety and planted it on his farm west of town. The crop is now maturing, and if Jack Frost does not butt in too soon, the yield will be 30 bushels to the acre. The stalks are over ten feet high and carry from two to tour ears each. This explodes the idea that only the little six weeks corn can be grown here. Fifty bushels are more than the average crop per acre in the most noted corn belts.
 Yuma Sun: R. A. Hart of the Agricultural Department who is here to made an investigation of the alkali lands of Yuma Valley made trip to the Valley yester- day accompanied by c. D.. Baker, to have a look at some of the alkali spots. They bored holes in a couple of places down to the water and took samples of both the soil and water which will be chemi- cally analysed to determine whether the alkaline salts can be removed by cultivation and what crops are best suited to the parti- cular cases.
 Arizona Republican: The cor. poration commission after con sideration of the application of the Williams Electric Light & Power company at Williams, has decided to allow the new concern to take over the assets and will issue an order to that effect in a few days. The hearings in the Williams matter however are not yet quite completed. The Williams com pany has also an application for permission to place $250,000 bonds on the market for the purpose oi conducting improvements to the present plant.
 Douglas International: Modern electric signal lights are to be placed on the city water standpipe: on Fifteenth street, and when they are burning it will be possible tC tell the depth of the water in the tank. This is another metropo titan idea, and one which few towns in the country have carried out. It is made possible by thu improvement in the telephone system of Douglas, which will b' completed in the near future. Here tOfore there has been some com plaint about the tank on Fifteenth street overhowing and running down the street to the detriment o property owners. This signal sys tenn will obviate this difficulty ant be of other benefit.
