Thursday, July 2(5,1900. The Democratic party is the tail to the populist kite this year. He is known as Sulzer the Silent since the expose of lioer luud ex penditures. . i- The dictatorial attitude of Hoss Bryan at Kansas City is very sug gestive of imperialism. SJSBlBBBBBBBBBBBaaBBBBpBBV Hon. Adlai Stevenson was origin ally a greenbacker. Mix this with 16 to 1, and what will lie the product? Hn. Don. M. Dickinson predict "thai Bryan will not get within two million as many votes as he lil In I him;." If Farmer Bryan held lii Ik' i" thf wrong hand the farmers will noon get on t it when the moving pictures are on exhibition. Since the adoptii f the gold standard in Japan the currency of that country lias U-en freed from constant fluctuations in its exchange rate. We oppose the accumulation of a surplus 1 temocratic platform. The Democratic platform has al- ways Ik'cii a debt creator, even in time of peace. We condemn the Dingley tariff Democratic platform. Yen. But the Democratic party was not honest enough to come out and openly favor frw trade "in the interest ol American labor." Anv Bfovernment not lail upon the consent of the governed is a ty ranny 1 democratic platform. How about the government of the people of New York by the Tam many ice trust ? We pledge the Democratic party against private monopoly in every lonn I Kmc Ksratie plat form. Then why did the Democratic National Chairman, Senator Jones, and the Democratic leader in the - - v. . WW House of Konresentativcs, lion., Slim Jim Richardson, lnith propose legislation that would have given millions of dollars to the sugar trust? Senator James K. Jones, as chair man of the committee on platform, at the Democratic National Conven tion at Kansas City, succeeded in securint' the insertion of a plank de nouncing the ship subsidy bill.

Alfred Sohoch behind his excel lent Iowa trotter to the old Schoch homestead aUnit a mile and a half east of this place. This farm has lxt'ti in the .Schoch family tor up wards of hundred years. The house and barn have recently under gone a system of repairs, remodeling and painting. The old stone ham has lieen painted and the place is familiar to nearly everyone as the place where the public rood runs iK'tween the barn and the manure yard. The farm is now tenanted by Hiram Clark. The house lias heen repaired and an nddition put to it, having removed the old stone ad dition at the east end of the build ing. The interior of the original house has been retained. It was built more than a hundred years ap). The ceilings are of the old kind with the joists exposed. A jor tioii of the interior had never In-en painted and in his desire to preserve as much as poss Ihle the natural ap pearance, the natural wood was fill ed and varnished. me mawnai ! used was of the very liest and the building is yet in a good state of i preservation, and, as far as the in ferior is concerned, is good for at 1 least another century.

HrDrrlnm That the lilrn of Filipino laritopeatfcraoa wa an Aft-rthouBit of tlit- I.rndrre Aflir tin- StuualilnK of the Spnnleh Fleet. Washington, July 24. The letter re ceived by Senutor 1'ettlgrew from one of Aguinaldo's generals, J. Alejan drino, containing an alleged account of an Interview between himself and Admiral Dewey on board the Olympia In the Hay of Hong Kong in April. 1898, in which it is stated that Admiral Dewey promised independence to the Filipinos, was shown to the admiral yesterday by a reporter. The admiral characterized It a "tissue of false hoods." He declared It absurd on its face. "I not only had no power to promise independence to the Fili pinos," said he, "but the whole tenor of tbo words put in my mouth stamps them as false. I am made to say things which I never have uttered. You will notice that I am addressed in the alleged Interview as admiral, when at thp time I was a commodore." The admiral said he had never heard of Alejandrino, Several Filipinos, af ter much importuning, did come aboard the Olympta at Hong Kong. They were anxious to be taken to Manila. "I considered their repre sentations of little importance," said the admiral, "and I did not take them to Manila. Later I gave permission to Agtlinaldo and about a dozen others to go to Manila. All that they were, anxious nbout at that time was an end of the tyranny of Spain, against which they had been lighting, After the destruction of Montejo's fleet the city virtually surrendered, and I am Satisfied that If we had had 5.000 troops there at that time we could have gone ashore and been received by the Filipinos as deliverers. They had absolutely no thought then of in dependence. That was an afterthought of their leaders during the Interim be tween the smashing of the Spanish fleet and the arrival of the United States troops." Speaking of the report that Cuba was to be evacuated by the American troops after the holding of the con stitutional convention Admiral Dewey said he did not see how the I'nited States could turn over the island to the Cubans until a stable government had been established. "We are respon sible to the world for the orderly con duct of affairs In Cuba," said he, "and until such a government Is establish ed I cannot see how we can withdraw. We are confronted with a similar sit uation in the Philippines. The world looks to us, and no matter which po lltlal party wins in November the United States cannot relinquish the Islands until a responsible and stable government Is set up there." Veti'rnn'.
