HILL. cer, and, if needs be, in defiance of it, I place in nomination here in the name of the democracy of the state of New York the one man who typifies all that democracy typifies.

The following is a synopsis of the platform as adopted by the convention: National issues Congratulates the demo cratic administration on the manner in which the business of the country is at tended to; upon the repeal of the Sher man law; upon the repeal of the federal elec tion law; that with democratic ascendency the country returns to simple methods and sound principles. Tariff Asserts that the new tariff law will be a wise and excellent substitute for the partisan McKinley law; declares a?inst future amendments of tho tariff by revision as a whole, but favors special laws relating to the removal of the duty from raw materials. Uu&inefrs interests C'onKratulates the coun 'try upon the revival of business interests, and believes that this revival will continue; as serts the financial and business depression was a necessary accompaniment to tariff re vision: inevitable because the McKinley law had proved utterly inadequate and would have caused a bankrupted treasury. Lab. r Declares the interests of labor should be fostered by proper and necessary legisla tion, and that honest workinpmen should be protected from competition with convict la bor; advocates the amending of the present conspiracy laws so as to more equally protect workingmen and the employers. Kqual rights Declares against class legisla tion which shall In violation of the constitu tion prohibit or interfere with the free exer cise of any form of. religious worship and deprecates any organization which would tend to any such result. Constitutional convention Declares the work of the constitutional convention on the whole was partisan, is intended to aid in per petuating the republican party in control of the state: declares the apportionment measure a gerrymander, descriminating against the cities.

Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: Special Inquiry has been made this week at all commercial centers regarding the state of retail trade. Wide diversity appears in different trades. The main facts disclosed are: First, marked improvement In the last month and a considerable excess over the busi ness done a j ear ago, particularly In the nec essaries of life. ) ut, second. It appears that the volume of trade at present is on the whole considerably less than In a normal year at most points, and In the more important trades is apparently about 20 per cent, smaller than In September. S9-i. Evidence of continued improvement In whole Bale trade and manufacture does not appear this week. There is large distribution on orders given some time ago. but new business going to the manufacturers is everywhere slackening. The completion of orders for re plenishment of stocks leaves a narrower de mand and It is yet too early for consumption to provide further orders. The depression in prices of farm products will have some influence. Unprecedented records have been made in cotton and wheat, though as to wheat only in contracts for fu ture delivery in which the prices are the low est ever made. The available stocks are about 15.O0O.U00 bushels greater than a year ugo, and western receipts for the week were 6.52,716 bushels, against 6,191.031 last year, and since August 1, 51.0o0,0u0 bushels, against 88.000.000 last year. It is encouraging that the speculation in corn has broken and the price has fallen live cents, les gloomy estimates than those of the department having gained general acceptance. It is now supposed that the yield is not far from 1.500 .Ouo.U bushels, which will com pel much economy in feeding, but speculation in pork has also broken.'and the price has fallen 75 cents, while lard has declined half a cent. Failures are few and small for the week, liabilities amounting to Jo.i.TB.'JXo, of which 8J.-.8i.3I3 were of manufacturing and 1.575.112 of trading concerns. The failures during the week have been 33 in the United States, against 334 last year, and 65 in Canada, against S3 last year. Bratlstreet's report is as follows: The feature of general trade throughout the country is found in moderate reactions within the week, more particularly in the volume of purchases of staples west, where trade has been quite active, and at eastern points in the course of prices, the week tailing to show any upward movement of note in this line and in the check to business south, together with damage to the rice and orange crops. Leading jobbers at distributing points, which for a month past have reported relatively most favorably con cerning the course of business, send modified advices as to activity. Wheat has made another "lowest price," and corn and oats have declined. Sugar and coffee record lower figures, and another lowest price for cotton has had an unfavorable influence on the tone of business at important southern markets, particularly la view of activity of re ceipts of that staple. Bessemer pig iron Kales show a loss of 25 cents and steel bil lets almost as much. Standard brands of forge Iron, west and south, show like de pressions, and the trade admits production has exceeded consumption. The conspicuously Irregular price is for lumber, it being Hiirly active but low at Minneapolis, but stiffer it St. Louis in contrast with advices from C hlcago and elsewhere. Leather is fairly flrra. and In distribution dry goods, shoes, millinery and notions lead. Trade reports from leading centers in the Dominion of Canada tell of trade improvement. Jobbers at Toronto report business equal to expectations, particularly in dry goods and hardware. AMOUNT PAID PENSIONERS. For the Year Kndlnc June 30 Last It Ag erecated 8137.636,981.

A Wealthy Girl AVho Loved and Lost, Bit Was Ahead of the Game. Myrtle Templemore was not a beau tiful girl, but she was very good-looking and had money in the bank. That was why she hesitated when Ezra St. Clair offered his hand to her in marriage. Ezra worked in a restaurant. She did not see that Ezra was putting up very much alongside of her beauty and hard dollars. 'It can not be, Ezra," said she, nerv ously tearing to pieces a leaf which she had plucked from a bouquet in her lap. "Very well," said he. "This evening I take an electric car for Evanston, per haps never to return." She heard the gate click as he passed out. "Will he ever cross my life again?" he pondered. - chapter II. It was the height of the season at Windsor I'ark beach. Large number of people were sitting in the sand. A man with a guitar and mouth organ had just taken up a collection. "That face! That facel"' gasped Myr tle Templemore, clutching by the arm her gentleman friend, Claude Stebbins, who was junior proprietor of one of the largest feed barns on the west side. "What's hitting you?" asked Claude, tenderly. "It's all over now," said she, laugh ing nervously. But all the way home on the street car she was despondent. CHAPTER III. "It is a proposal of marriage from Claude," said Myrtle, as the postman handed her a letter and she saw on the envelope "return in ten days to Bowles & Stebbins, feed and boarding stables, Sangamon and Morgan streets." And as she opened the letter and saw the neat picture of a double seated wagon at the top of the page her suspicions were confirmetL Then 6he thought of Ezra St. Clair. CHAPTER IV. "Shall I. or shall I?" moaned Myrtle, crushing the letter in her hand and looking out of her bed-room window at the stars twinkling above. It was late at night. She should have been in bed. And the morning light, gray and cold, broke in at the vindow and found her there, still thinking. THE END. Chicago Eecord. THE BELOVED COW. Veneration of the Feople of the Far East for the Animal. "Brethren, I have come all the way from the northwest to ask you to be good and kind to our mother cow, tho cow that helped all of us to rear our children, the cow that helped all of us to cultivate and fertilize our lands.and the cow that is affording us the best of good food that is to be found on this earth, namely, milk. No one came from the northwest to ask you to do this before. Why? Because the cow did not need protection. She was re garded both by the Hindus and Mussul mans with veneration. No one ill treated her, no one tortured her, and no one was so cruel as to deprive her of her life for the vile purpose of eating her flesh. "But times are changed. We have a government now that do not view the crime of cow killing with hatred. Why should they? Our governors them selves are the greatest beef eaters on the face of the earth, and consequently they do not sympathize with our feel ing in the matter. Nay, they encour age the wholesale slaughter of cows, so that where there were a few butch ers only, thousands and thousands have sprung tip whose sole business is to secure cows and kill them. 1 "See the effect of all this general slaughter on the country. Lands are not so fertile as before, not being manured. Our children are weak and sickly, not having the nourishment they tised to hare before, and our good fortune is deserting us on account of our sin in not endeavoring to protect our mother cow. So, unless you take heed of what I say, you will soon find that j-ou will be very sorry. All your lands will cease to yield, all your chil dren will grow up weak and sickly, and our nation will be extinct in a few generations." Calcutta Paper. MAKING HIS POINT. A Judge Who Was Sonicthlnc of a Finan cier. When the court on an extremely western circuit was convened and the business was about to legin. it was dis covered that there were neither pens, ink nor paper for the use of the bench or the bar.
