MUI»DLED DEMOCRATS. Where tin* I'-urty nn 11 Whole I* "At M lh u I'rolilein ( imolvuble in Their MltUt. The democrats cannot get together even in their campaign text, hooks. The document issued hy the congres sional committee for use in the pres ent campaign is a strange hodge podge i.nd a mass of contradictions, gays the Tl'oy Times. For instance, in one part the hook repudiates the principle of a tariff for revenue only and that of reciprocity, although a tariff .Hi revenue only has been dem ocrat!" doctrine from time immemor ial, and democrats have claimed that reciprocity really was democratic. Some of the foremost democratic statesmen of the past have been most ardent advocates of reciprocity. Mr. Bryan, who dictated the Chicago and Kansas City platforms, in both de clared for a tariff for revenue only, and the adoption of the platforms by the national conventions made lhem binding upon the party. The text book contains a long chapter headed "The Reciprocity Humbug," and this is what it says in part: "Reciprocity looks like free trade, but tastes like protection. It is really a r.ew tuprar coatii.K prepared by the republican tariff doctors for many patients who are refusing tn take their protection pills ttra:ght. In practice reciprocity is worse than protection. * * * Tin greatest clamor for reciprocity comes from tho.-< who e*pe(-t to be beneficiaries of reci procity legislation. In the case of Cuba, it is the sugar and tobacco growers and Cuban land owners ami the Ami riean mat - DEMOCRATIC HARMONY. —Chicago Inter Ocean, ufacturers nf agricultural nrd other ma chinery who are pushing reciprocity." And yet democrats are claiming credit 1«»r originating the reciprocity idea, and another chapter of this same < nmpaign text book denounces the republicans in congress for fail ing 1 to pass a measure providing for reciprocity with Cuba. Yet again, discussing "Reciprocity (which it has ridiculed) versus free trade (which it has lepudiated)," this wonderful campaign book says: "The theory of free trade is- that both seller and buyer are benefit -d by an ex change of commodities, and that, as all are consumers.tin- create: t good to the great est number requires that then be r.o bar riers to tr.-MH in order that goods may be as" cheap as possible and the cost of living reduced to a mlrimuin. Krte trade- would open our markets to ber.etit our own country. It is hospitable, ar.d< seeks peace and good-will with all nations. lt< clproclty cares nothing for the consumer, and hunt foreign markets with a club. stock In trade is high tariff, favoritism, discrim ination and retaliation. It threatens to slam our doors in the face of foreign cuuntrl* s which will not open their doors to our products. U< clprocity Is based upon the same false theories as Is prot i t ion, et.ii like protection is a sham and a humbug, arid to most people has been, and will ever continue to be, :i d» Iusloi: and a snare." If, iftcr reading those extracts, anyone can tell where the democratic party as a whole is really "at" eco nomically, he will he able to solve any puzzling problem that can be submitted to him.

But about one thing there is no un certainty whatever, and this is that Mr. Bryan wants to tight his third battle lor the presidency, and that |he will be out for the democratic ! nomination a year from next spring, ! if in liis judgment there is the slight est show of success. 1 have not seen j Mr. Bryan since I came to Lincoln, ! but two or three of bis closest J friends with whom 1 have talked j agree that this is his attitude.

Mr. I ryan's friends had been led to : believe that he would not again seek j the presidency, but their eyes were opened at the meeting of the demo cratic and populist ic state conven tions at Grand Island. There was some doubt as to whether fusion could Ik- effected, and former Senator Allen, Mr. Bryan's spokesman, plead ed for fusion upon the ground that only by keeping up the alliance be tween the two parties in this state could Mr. Bryan win his third nomin ution in 1904. This argument was used publicly and without any efforts at concealment. Mr. Bryan himself was in attend ance upon the conventions, and be pleaded for fusion, though, of course, without declaring that he wanted it to help him toward the presidency in 1004. lie was aware, however, of the argument which ex-Senator Allen was using, and made no effort to stop it.

Statistics sin wing our trade with the Ame riean insular pos sessions dur ing the last fiscal yem are only now available, and show very plainly that trade does follow the flag, the volume of exports anil imports having in creased notably in each case since t he stars and stripes were hauled up. Our exports to Porto Rico last year were valued at. $10,719,444 and the imports tit $5,297,422. In 1597 the exports amounted to st,9ss.ssK and Hie imports to $2.1 51, 024. The Hawaiian trade in 1002 was as follows: Exports, $19,000,- 000 (approximately); imports. $24,700,- 129. Tn I VI? it was: Exports, 1,090,- 07.1; imports. *1!i..201,507; imports, $0.012.700.

IS. —Acrimony was not wanting for a time in the demo* cratie state convention at Tremont Temple yesterday, but in the end har mony wiis restored and the.state ticket was enthusiastically greeted. The ticket follows: For governor, William A. 41aston, of Boston; lieu tenant governor, John C. Crosby, of Pittsfleld; secretary of state, Will more B. Stone, of Springfield; treas urer, Thomas C. Tbaeher, of Yar mouth, It, might be said that in naming Col. Gaston to head the ticket prece dent was shattered, inasmuch as lie was nominated and then given a plat form of his own dictation. Not un like the famous conventions of is.iii and 1900, the light was over the na tional issues on the platform. The test of strength was between Col. Gaston on one hand and George Fred Williams, once the stalwart leader of the silver democrats, on the other. In this battle Mr. Williams was ut terly routed, with the predicted re-j suit that he is shorn of all power of leadership. The platform adopted is a repudiation of the Kansas City platform, for Mr. Gaston refused to be the nominee if in any way the declaration of principles could be con strued to endorse those things most prominently advocated by the party in the last two national campaigns. The convention opened with trou ble brewing. It came soon after Mr. Gaston's nomination, when the mat ter of platform was brought up. The battle from the floor was one of bit ter words, during which delegates, ob jecting to Mr. Williams' sarcastic references to the last five planks in the platform, which he said were placed there at Mr. Gaston's solicita tion, hissed and cried him down. Throughout the tumult the speaker exultantly surveyed the throng and when order was restored concluded bis speech. The minority report was utterly defeated. Concord, X. 11., Sept. IS.—Following the action of the party in Vermont, the republicans of Xew Hampshire, instate convention yesterday, warm ly debated the question of making changes in the prohibitory law. Those in favor of a change carried the day. The contest for governor was won bv .Valium J. Batcheldor. of Andover, who is prominently identified with the Patrons of Husbandry. Gen. Stephen 11. Gale. of Exeter, withdrew before the nominations were called for, and Mr. Batcheldor was chosen by acclamation. No other candidates are nominated by state conventions in New Hampshire. The platform adopted endorsed the ndminist ration on ail points and favors the renomination of President Roosevelt. Illegal combines are cnn dt mnod and one plank opposes the indiscriminate destruction of forests. Hartford, Conn., Sept. is.—Abram Chamberlain, of Meriden, the present state comptroller, was yesterday nominated by the Connecticut repub lican convention as a candidate for governor to succeed Gov. George P. McLean who on account of ill health had declined to be a candidate for an other term. Mr. Chamberlain was opposed for the nominution by Liv ingston W. Cleveland, of Xew Haven, who. however, was defeated on the first ballot, receiving only 158 votes, while Mr. Chamberlain had 343. Reso lutions endorsing the administration of President Roosevelt and favoring liis nomination for the presidency in 1004 were adopted. ■ In* nn A lot nit mice of Money. Washington, Sept.

APPEAL TO THE POWERS. Secretary llitj Call* the Attention ol ■Curnpeuii t.ovcriimeiit* to (he I'cr •eotltloll ol lfu« by ICou in a■■ ia -A OCemurka l>le Document. Washington, Sept. IH.—With the double purpose of protecting the long suffering Jews of the Balkan states and of averting the present peril of the immigration to the United States of a horde of paupers, Secretary Ha.v lias adopted the un usual course of appealing to the [low ers of Europe to force one of their children to observe the obligations of humanity in ease of the Jews. The appeal takes the form of a state paper, remarkable in several respects, which has been dispatched in identical form to every ambassador and minister of the United States re siding in one of the countries of F.u rope which were parties to the fa mous treaty at ISerlin of IH7B, name ly, (treat Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Italy. Austria and Turkey, marking the termination of the Turko-Kussiaii war and the creation by the direct act of the powers of the independent Balkan states. Because the powers are thus re sponsible for the existence of Roti liiania, the culprit in this ease, the secretary of state has directed the note to them in the hope that they wili bring that government to a sense of its duties towards civilization at large, as well as to cause it to ameli orate the frightful condition of the Roumanian .lews. In a measure this action by the department of state may fte traced to numerous petitions from Jewish societies and humani tarians generally, as well as to the warnings of publicists, respecting the growing daggers of the immigration of degenerates. Among other things the document says: "The condition of a large class of tin inhabitants of Rouniania has for many years been a source of grave concern to the United States. I re fer to the Roumanian Jews, number ing some 400,000. Long ago, while the Danubian principalities labored under oppressive conditions which only war and a general action of the European powers sutlieed to end. the persecution of the Jews under Turk ish rule called forth in Is~2 the strong remonstrance of the United States. The treaty of Merlin was hailed as a cure for the wrong. "Putting together the facts pain fully brought home to this govern ment during the past few years, that many of the inhabitants of Koumania are being forced, by artificial, di verse discrimination, to <|iiit their na tive country: thnt the hospitable asylum offered by this country is al most the only refuge left to them; thnt they conic hither unfitted, by the conditions of their exile, to take part in the new life of this land un der circumstances either profitable to themselves or beneficial to the community: and that they are ob jects of charity from the outset and for a long time—the right of remon strance against the acts of the Rou manian government is clearly estab lished in favor of this government. "Whether consciously and of pur pose or not, these helpless people iiurdcncd and spurned by their na tive land, are forced by Rouniania up on the charity of the United States. This government cannot be a tacit party to such an international wrong. It is constrained to protest against the treatment to which the Jews of Koumania are subjected, not alone because it has unimpeachable ground to remonstrate against the resultant injury to itself, but in the name of humanity. "The United States may not au thoritatively appeal to the stipula tions of the treaty of Berlin, to which it was not and cannot become a signa tory. but it does earnestly appeal to the principles therein, because they are the principles of international law and eternal justice, advocating the broad toleration which solemn compact enjoins, and standing ready to lend its moral support to the ful fillment thereof by its co-signatories, for the act of Koumania itself has effectively joined the United States to them as an interested party in this regard."
