THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1S90. State Democratic Platform. We. the democrats of the state of Nebraska, in convention assembled, renew our allegiance to the principles taught by Thomas Jefferson and courageously defended by Andrew Jackson, and demand that the great problems now before the people shall be solved by the application of these principles to present conditions. We congratulate the democrats of Massachu setts upon the candor and frankness which char acterized their platform urterances of yesterday. We rejoice that they, no longer quibbling about the ratio or holding out the delusive hope of in ternational co-operation, have at last consented to submit to the people the question, whether the United Slates shall have monometalism or blmetalism whether the American people shall deliberately adopt the English system of finance or restore the gold and silver coinage of thecon stitutlon. The Massachusetts demand for a Mugle gold standard and for the redemption of all government obligations In gold alone pre sents the paramount Issue of the campaign, and we welcome the contest. We endorse the language used by Hon . John G. Carlisle In 1873, when he denounced the "con spiracy" to destroy silver as a standard money as "the most gigantic crime of this or any other age," and we agree with him in the declaration then made that "the consummation of such a scheme would ultimately entail more misery up on the human race than all the wars, pestilences and famines that have ever occurred in the history of the world." We are not willing to te parties to a such a crime, and In order to undo the wrong already done and to prevent a further rise in the purchasing power of the dollar, we favor the immediate restoration of the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the pres ent legal ratio of 16 to 1, as such coinage existed prior to 1873, without waiting for the aid or con sent of any other nation, such gold and silver to be a full legal tender for all debts, public and private. We are opposed to the retirement of the green back and demand that the secretary of the treas ury, Instead of issuing interest-bearing bonds for the purchase of gold, shall recognize allrer as money of redemption and exercise the right to redeem greenbacks, treasury notes and all other coin obligations In silver when silver Is more convenient. Believing that general laws should not be set aside by private contract, we favor such congres sional legislation as will, without Interfering with valid contracts already in existence, pro hibit for the future the making of agree ments for the payment of any specific kind of legal tender money. We are in favor of a tariff forrevenue only. We are in favor of a constitutional amend ment authorizing the collection of an Income tax as a part of the federal revenue system. We are in favor of the election of United States senators by the direct rote of the people. We are in favor of a liberal pension policy. We are In favor of the initiative and referen dum system as an aid to securing a government of the people, for the people and by the people. The democratic party has ever been the party of religious liberty In the country. It has al ways been and is now opposed to the union of church and state in any form or under any pre text whatever; it is opposed to the imposition of any religious test for office; it is opposed to all secret political organizations of every kind or character, or any open political organization based upon religious prejudices, as contrary to the spirit and genius of our institutions and thor oughly un-American. It stands by our public school system as a means of popular education and is opposed to any diversion of public ucbool funds to any sectarian purpose but it recognizes the right of parental control and the rights of conscience In the education of children ns in accord with the fundamental doctrines of the democratic party, that the largest liberty con sistent with the right of others insures the best government. GOV. ALTGELI) ON S1LVKK. To gain a temporary advantage long enough to win the primaries and county conventions, in Chicago and Cook county, the goldbugs offered 'to compromise and support Gov. Altgeld for re-election. They mistook the character of the man. He hastened to inform the people that the principle was worth more to him thanthe gov ernor's office. Among other thiDgs he said: "None of the sophists hired to main tain the gold standerd have yet told the laboring men how to get the valu able gold dollar they talk about. The laborer can only prosper when there is a demand for his labor. The gold dol lar, by reducing prices, when all fixed charges remain the same, destroying the purchasing power of the country, and thus destroyed the market for the only thing the laboring man had to sell that is, his labor. Until this purchasing power is re stored there can be no great demand for labor, and this purchasing power of the country, especially of the debtor classes can only be restored by a rise in the selling price of things, and this can only come through an increase in the volume of money. The continuation of the single gold standard means the permanent degra dation of the great toiling and pro ducing massed of this, country, and I will do what little I can to prevent this. I shall do what I can to restore the free coinage of gold and silver to ex actly where it stood when a republican congresi struck down silver. This restoration when once made, if the subject needs legislation it can be had; but the first duty of Americans is to right the great wrong, and I asji ail my friends to do what they can to bring it about. We have been led off the correct road into desolation, and the first thing to do is to get back on the highway. Once there, if it is necessary to mend harness or wagon, we can do it."' Finding Him Out. "Say!" he said, leaning across the aisle, to a fellow passenger; "do you know McKiuley at sight?" "Yes. Why?" "Well, I heard a fellow in the next car tell another fellow that he ad vocated a sound money doctrine, pro vided sufficient silver legislation could be had to insure a parity of that metal with gold; and that while he was not in favor of bimetallism he realized the immense advantages occurring from a recognition of western interests. I want to identify that man. It isn't Heed; and if it isn't McKinley there's a dark horse in the field." Puck. Majou McKinlky is evidently a man of supreme gall. He won't open his mouth on the finance question, and imagines he can ignore it. He will not get very far along in the campaign, however, until he will be brought up standing right opposite that question. A I'atriotlc Naval Captain. A New York Sun speeial from Washington savs: "Fighting Hob" Kvans, of the United States navy, does not approve of the Cuban policy of the administration, and when he was in Washington a few days ago he frankly told the president so. He gave the president some powerful arguments to sustain that view of the case, but the president referred "Fighting Bob" to Secretary Olney, who, he said, was looking after the Cuban business. So the last time Cap tain Evans was in Washington he called upon the secretary of state, and was introduced by Assistant Secretary McAdoo of the navy department. Captain Evans expressed his views with great freedom to the secretary of state, and among other thing9, he said: "Mr. Secretary, the battleship Indiana, which I have the honor to command, is the fastest fighting ma chine atloat, and if you will give the word I will go down to Cuba, and with her alone will undertake to clean out the entire Spanish fleet." "See here, Mr. Secretary, continued the captain, earnestly, "wouldn't you like to have me cruise down around Cuba and bring home a box of fine Havana cigars?" "I don't smoke," Was the secretary's curt reply. Captain Evans bowed obediently to the decision, and said good by, but he could not conceal his disappointment. When he left the secretay's office he remarked in an undertone to Mr. Mc .doo that if they would only give him a chance in Cuba with his battleship "no language but Spanish would be spoken in hell for the next five years." PERSONAL, POLITICAL AND PERTINENT. A woman loafer in a store, espe cially a dry goods or general store, in jures business more than ten men loafers, bad as that is admitted to be. The woman loafer, even if she makes no comment, "eyes" purchases, and the purchaser, or would-be purchaser, knows comment will follow her retire ment. Hence bravado purchase is made of things not desired once, but next time the buyer looks in, sees the loafer, and passes on, probably for good. This is founded on fact. In fact, women fear women more than they do men, odd as it may seem. Palmyra Items. The will of Sir Julian Goldsmid,the husband of Jenny Lind, was filed re cently in Doctors' Commons, London. The four daughters, still unmarried, receive property which the executors estimate will yield each $50,000 a year. The testament, however, declares that any one of the daughters who marries a Gentile shall lose one-half of her fortune. A bicycle has been invented which runs on a railroad track. People who ride on the tracks and butt an active, yonthful locomotive once or twice will get over the bicycle's fitful fever, and will be surprised to find that the com pany they are in are playing harps. Kansas City Journal.
