Republican, Democratic and Populist State Conventions. BRYAN AND TAFT PRESIDENTIAL CHOICE The Respective Meetings highly Harmonious, AH Nominations Having Previously Been Made in Recent State Primary Election. The republican state convention ■which met in Lincoln on the 24th, presided over by Gov. Sheldon, had but little to do but to frame a plat form and appoint the state central committee, as nominations had been made in the primaries. Two sessions were held, both short, the last of which put forth the following as The Republican Platform. • As the representatives of the repub licans of Nebraska, in state convention assembled, we again commend the in spiring character and undaunted lead ership of Theodore Roosevelt. We es pecially indorse what he has accom plished. with the support of a repub lican congress, toward subjecting the overweening railroads engaged in in terstate commerce to the regulating arm of the government and in curbing the rapacity of the lawless trusts by forcing them to desist from their crim inal practices. These policies have our unqualified approval and In order tliai no backward step be taken, we will insist that his successor lie a man whose record pledges a continuance or the distinctive polices of the Roosevelt administration. While not presuming to forestall tlte action of any future convention, we express the belief that the republicans of Nebraska recognize in the Honor able William H. Taft of Ohio one whose personal character and whose long public servtcg mark him as pre eminently the man under whose lead ership these policies would be perpetu ated. We indorse the present state administration. State affairs are be ing conducted with integrity and sa gacity. Our public institutions are be ing neither injured by parsimony nor scandalized by profligacy.' The state's credit is high, and its long standing debt is being rapidly extinguished and will soon be paid. Its public school funds are growing enormously and be ing wisely invested in interest-bearing securities. We commend our republican delega tion in congress for their faithful rep r sentation of the interests of the peo ple of Nebraska. We especially com mend the last legislature for faithfully fulfilling republican pledges made to the people. It was a record of legisla tive fidelity without precedent in Ne braska. The platform pledges of political parties mean something only when read in the light of the record of achievement. It is our rare privilege to call attention anew to the platform promulgated by Nebraska repnnilcans a year ago. whose every promise has been carried out in scrupulous gooo faith. The .republicans promised the peopel of this state the following re forms. 1. A state-wide direct primary. 1. Abolition of the free pass evil. 3. Comprehensive powers for the state railway commission. 4. More equitable rates or transpor tation of passengers and freight. 5. Equal taxation of railroad prop erty for city, purposes. 6. Abolition of fellow servant law and full employer’s liability. 7. A pure food and dairy law. S. Rigid economy in appropriations. Every one of these pledges has been fulfilled. We express our satisfaction with the operation of the new primary law. It gives to. tlie individual the same equal voice in the selection of all candidates that is given in the election that fol lows. Its first experiment was to ob tain a freer and fuller expression of sentiment than has heretofore been possible to obtain under the caucus system. We pledge such amendments to the law as experience demonstrates are necessary to make It a more per fect system of choosing candidates. We Indorse the work of the state railway commission and expect it to continue to be a serviceable instru ment in enforcing the laws without fear or favor and to deal speedily, im partially and justly with all com plaints against the roads. And we especially indorse the present efforts of the commission to effect a reason able additional reduction in gram rates. We call upon the railway com mission to investigate if only those giving the railways "the major portion of their time” are on ghe list of pass holders, and we insist upon a rigid en forcement of the anti-pass law. We believe the federal judiciary law should be amended to define the citi zenship of interstate corporations for the purposes of jurisdiction of federal courts by providing that for the pur poses of original jurisdiction and juris diction on removal from state courts, or federal courts, a corporation shall be deemed a citizen of every state where It has filed or is required by the law of that state to file in the manner re quired of domestic corporations, its ar ticles of incorporation. And in addi tion thereto tiiat every foreign corpo ration, or its successors, assigns, or lessees, exercising or claiming the right of eminent domain, under a state law, shall be deemed a citizen of that state for the purposes of jurisdiction - of federal courts. We favor the enactment of a federal law, and. if necessary, an amendment to the federal constitution, which will forbid the federal courts from issuing writs of injunction against statp offi cers charged by law with the enforce ment of state statutes. We regard with high favor the nom inees of our state ticket, and invite all voters who believe in official probity and efficiency to join in electing them. sonian maxim, ‘'equal rights to a;l and special privileges to none. ' We heartily approve of the laws prohibiting tlie pass and the rebate, and insist upon further legislation, state and national, making it unlaw ful for any corporation to contribute to campaign funds, and providing for publication, before the ejection. <f ail individual contributions above a rea sonable minimum. 1 Believing, with Jefferson, in "the support of the state- governments in all their rights and the most com petent administrations for our domes tic concerns and the surest bulwark against anti-republican tendencies, and in “tlie preservation of the general government in its wh ile constitutional vigor, as tlie sheet anchor of nor peace at home and safety abroad," we are op posed to the centralisation implied 1:1 tlie sugestlons, now frequen: I;, made, that the powers of the general govern ment should he extended by judicial construction. While we favor tlie ex ercise by the general government of all its constitutional authority for tie- pre vention of monopoly and for tlie regu lation of interstate commerce, we in sist that federal remedies shall be add ed to. and not substituted for. siare remedies. We favor the election of United States senators by dirt c-t vote of the people, and regard this reform ns the gateway i > a t ijl.or re forma. A private monopi I.' '= indefensible and intolerable. We, liienfore. favor the vigorous enforcement of the crim inal law against trusts and trusr magnates, and demand tlie enactment of such additional legislation as may be necessary to make it impossible for a private monopoly to exist in toe United States. Among the additional remedies we specify three: First, a law compelling corporations engaged in interstate commerce to sell to alt purchasers in all parts of the country on the same terms, after making due allowance for cost of carriage; second, a law preventing the duplication or directors among competing corpora tions; and third, a ilccr.se system which will, without abridging the right of each state to create corpora tions. or its right to regulate us it will foreign corporations doing busi ness within its-limits, make it neces sary for all manufacturing and trad ing corporations engaged in interstafe commerce to take out a federal license before it shall be permitted to control as much as 25 per cent of the product in which it deals, the license to pro tect the public from watered stock and to prohibit tile control by such corpo ration of more than 50 per cent of the total amount of any produce consumed in the United States. We insist upon the recognition of the distinction between the natural man and the artificial person, called a cor poration. and we favor the enactment of such law as may be necessary to compel foreign corporations to submit their legal disputes to the courts of the states in whirh they do business, and thus place themselves upon the same footing as domestic corporations. We favor an immediate revision of the tariff by the reduction of import duty. Articles entering into competi tion with articles controlled by trusts should be placed upon the fre^ list; material reductions should be. made in the tariff upon all necessaries of lire, and reductions should be made in such other schedules as may be necessary to restore the tariff to a revenue basis. We favor an income tax as a part of our revenue system, and we urge the submission of a constitutional amend ment specifically authorising eongress to levy and collect a tax upon individ ual and corporate incomes, to the cno that wealth may bear its proportion ate share of the burdens of the federal government. We favor a national in heritance tax to reach the "swollen fortunes" already in existence, but we believe that it is better to permanently prevent "swollen fortunes" hy abolish ing the privileges and favoritism upon which they are based. We assert the right of eongress to exercise complete control over inter state commerce, and we assert the right of each state to exercise just as complete control over commerce with in its borders. We demand, such an enlargement of the powers of national and state railway commissions as may be necessary to give full protection to persons and places from discrimina tion and extortion. We believe that both the nation and the various states should, first, ascertain the present value of the railroads, measured by the cost of reproduction; second, pro hibit the issue of any more watered stock or fictitious capitalization; third, prohibit the railroads from engaging in any business which brings them into competiton with their shippers; ana fourth, redure transportation rates until they reach a point where they will yield only a reasonable return on the present value of the roads—sucri reasonable return being defined as a return sufficient to keep the stoeg or the roads at par when such -roads are honestly capitalized. To supplement the reductions made by the various states in passenger rates, we favor an act of congres requiring the railroads to sell interstate tickets at a rate not exceeding the sum of the local rate. We favor th? establishment of state and national boards of arbitration which shall have authority to investi gate. cither upon their own initiative or at the request of either party, any industrial dispute between corporate employers and' their employees, the findings of such hoards not to be binding upon either party, but to serve as a guide to public opinion and as » THE DEMOCRATS. The democrats gathered in the sen ate chamber, where organization was perfected. Ererything passed off smoothly, there being no hitch or lack of harmony in the proceedings. W. J. Bryan delivered an earnest political address but the convention refrained from endorsing him for president. There was some little conflict in nam ing the ^tate committee, but the bus iness was soon got through with in a highly satisfactory manner. In gen eral there was no disposition to fuse between the democratis and the popu lists in the convention. Each party I paddled its own canoe without con . ferences. Following is The Democratic Platform. We. the democratic party of Ne braska. in delegate convention as sembled, express our continued confi dence in. and admiration for. Honor able William ejnnings Bryan; and re nsert our fidelity to the principles which he bap so ably advocated, ana which at this time are so generally accepted by a large majority of the people of the United States. We rejoice at the increasing signs of a moral awakening in the United States. Tlie Various investigations have traced graft and political cor ruption to the representatives of pred atory wealth and laid bare the un scrupulous methods by » which they have debauched elections and preyed upon a defenseless public through the subservient officials whom they have raised to place and power. The con science of the nation is now awak ened and must not sleep until the government Is freed from the grip of those who have made It a business as set of the favor-seeking corporations; It must become again "a movement of the people, by the people and for the , people,” and be administered In all Us and capital. We favor the eight hour day. We are opposed to "government by injunction." the system under whlcn the writ of injunction is used to deny to laboring men the protection of trial by jury. We favor full protection, by both national and state governments within their respective spheres, or alt foreigners residing in the United States, under treaty, but we are op posed to the admission of Asiatic emi grants who can not be amalgamated with our population, or whose pres ence among us would raise a race is sue and involve us in diplomatic con troversies with oriental parties. We welcome Oklahoma to the sister hood of states and heartily congratu late her upon the auspicious beginning of her great career. We favor separate statehood for Ari zona and New Mexico, and demand for the people of Porto Rico the full en joyment of the rights and privileges of a territorial fortri of government. We sympathize with the efforts put forth for the reclamation of the arid lands of the west, and urge the largest possible use of irrigation in the devel opment of the country. We favor the speedy completion of the Panama canal. We favor a generous per.siojf policy, both as'a matter of justice to the sur viving veterans and their dependants and because it relieves the country ot the necessity of maintaining a large standing army. We condemn the experiment in im perialism as an inexcusable blunder, which has involved us in an enormous expense, brought us weakness in stead of strength, and laid our nation open to the charge of abandoning the fundamental' doctrine of self-govern ment. We favor an immediate decla ration of the nation's purpose to rec ognize tiie independence of the Philip pines as «oon as a stable government can be established, such independence to be guaranteed by us. as we guar antee the independence of Cuba, until the neutralization of the islands can be secured by, treaty with other powers. In recognizing the independence of the Philippines our government should re tain such land as may be necessary tor l-TiagHg wherever possible, we believe that our ; nation should announce Its determlna- • tlon not to use our navy for the col lection of private debts, and its will ingness to enter into agreements with other nations, providing for the inves tigation, by an impartial international tribunal, before any declaration of war or commencement of hostilities, of every dispute which defies, diplomatic settlement. Undoubtedly the railroad commission which was created by an amendment to the constitution has no power to tlx rates, therefore we demand that the governor shall call an extra session of the legislature and that that body shall establish maximum rates upon grain, live stock, fruit, vegetables, building material, fuel, and such kindred prod ucts as enter Into the necessities pt life. Also a stringent anti-pass law, a reciprocal demurrage law, and a law directing the governor of this state to appoint a competent commission of at least live, no more than two of whom shall be of one political party, who shall, after due investigation, report upon the physical values and the m«ii - ket values of all common materials doing business within the state for the guidance of the legislature and the taxing powers. ‘ THE POPULISTS. The populists held their meeting in | the supreme court room. Delegates ( were present from twenty-five coun | ties. At the meeting of tie state committee C. B. Manuel of £t. Paul, ! the present chairman was re-elected. ' The same l;onor was conferred upen E. A. Walrath of Osceola, secretary. J S. Canaday of Mindcn was elected treasurer. The committee is in faver i of tusion and authorized the state ; committee to arrange for fusicn wherever it can be accomplished, and where it has not alreday been brought ai.out by the primaries. Another meeting will be held--to locate state headquarters. The platform, among other things, declares: We call the attention of the people to the fart that since 1887 efforts have 1 hc"n made by the people of tn:s state ■ to fix railroad freight rates, a righr given to them in the constitution of the state. All such efforts have proven a failure. The legislation of the. last year in our opinion will be as great a failure. T'rtdoubfcdly the railroad commis sion. which was created by an amend ment to the const itutioA has no power to fix rates. We theferore demand that the governor shall call an extra ses sion of the legislature and that Potty establish maximum rates upon grain, live stock, fruit, vegetables, building material, fuel and such kindred prod I acts of protection that enter in the ne j res si ties of life; also, a stringent anti ! rass law. a reciprocal demurrage [ law. and a law directing the governor of this state to apop.nt a competent commission of at least five, no more , than two of whom shall be or one po litical party.'who shall, after due in vestigation. ascertain and r, port upon the physical values and the market values of the properties of all common carriers doing business within this slate, for the guidanee of the legisla ture and the taxing powers. Destroyed His Status. Within the last month there was displayed in the fine arts hall of ihe Tokio indust, ial exhibition a marble statue of a young girl bending over a lower which she held in her hand. Its sculptor, Shikai Kltamura, becom ing incensed at the jurors who were to make the awards, determined to punish them by destroying his statue. So he got a chisel and mallet, went to the hall and knocked off the head and arms of the statue before he could bo stopped. A Near-Professicnai. The Ingenue—So our sterling young leading man.

Beginning Right. The surest way of making the world better is to begin with our selves. Until we have fought our own sins, and come up against the deceit fulness of our own hearts, we cannot be wise warriors for the right, or mer ciful helpers to the fallen. Until we have learned self-denial, obedience and love, we will be, of very little use in the world’s dark places. Being good is the threshold of doing good. Corks Made from Paper. A machine for making corks out of wa3te paper an dpaper pulp has re cently been perfected and patented. This machine makes corks out of all kinds of waste paper, which are much superior to the ordinary corks, as they are impervious to acids or oils. Tests made by chemists and the larger users of corks say they are far superior to the old style in every way. A Great Distinction. “Yes,” said Mrs. Dubley of Jeffer son City, “I reckon that feller that writ out the declaration of indepen dence deserved the honor.” “You mean the honor of being assigned to write It?” “No, sir!

What, will appear very interesting to many people here is the article taken from a New York daily paper, giving a simple prescription, as formu lated by a noted authority, who claims that he has found a positive rem edy to cure almost any case of back ache or kidney or bladder derange ment, in the following simple prescrip tion, if taken before the stage of Bright’s disease: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and again at bedtime. A well-known authority, when asked regarding this prescription, stated that the ingredients are all harmless, and can be obtained at a small cost from any good prescription pharmacy, or the mixture would be put up if asked to do so. He further stated that while -this prescription is often pre scribed in rheumatic afflictions with splendid results, he could see no rea son why it would not be a splendid remedy for kidney and urinary trou bles and backache, as it has a peculiar action upon the kidney structure, cleansing these most important or gans and helping them to sift and filter from the blood the foul acids and waste matter which cause sick ness and suffering. Those who suffer can make no mistake in giving it a trial. _ HAD A FELLOW FEELING. Aunt Susan’s Heart Went Out tc “Pore Missus Astor.” Uncle Eli felt he knew the metropo lis pretty well. Had he not been there three times in four years—and twice he had ridden on the elevated. So when he brought Aunt Susan with him (on the fourth trip) he naturally assumed the role of guide. She marveled at everything until they sat down for luncheon. They had gone into the Astor house for that meal, but all its other marvels seemed lost on the visiting country hostess, as she looked open-eyed at the crowds that filled not only the corridors but the restaufcnts. Scarcely had they found seats, when this amazement took definite shape. “Eli,” said she in a stagey whisper, “I ean't set here an’ eat peaceably. I jes’ must go downstairs an’ help pore Missus Astor with the cookin’ an’ dishes.”—Bohemian._ FURIOUS HUMOR ON CHILD. Itching, Bleeding Sores Covered Body —Nothing Helped Her—Cuticura Cures Her in Five Days. “After my granddaughter of about seven years had been cured of the measles, she was attacked about a fornight later by a furious itching and painful eruption all over her body, especially the upper part of it, forming watery and bleeding sores, especially under the arms, of considerable size. She suffered a great deal and for three weeks we nursed her every night, using all the remedies we could think of. Nothing would help. We tried the Cuticura Remedies and after twenty four hours we, noted considerable im provement, and after using only one complete set of the Cuticura Remedies, in five consecutive days the little one, much to our joy, had been entirely cured, and has been well for a long time.

The pure food law does not prohibit the sale of Cream of Tartar Baking Powders because Cream of Tartar is as pure as Alum—but it is a well known fact that a baking powder in which Alum is used instead of Cream of Tartar is less injurious. Dr. Herman Reinbold, the expert German chemist, in a recent official report concerning Baking Powders, declares that a pure Alum baking powder is better and less injurious than the so-called Cream of Tartar powders. He says that if the quantity of alum contained in a suf ficient quantity of baking powder for a batch of bread or cakes for an ordi nary family, be concentrated to one mouthful of food, and taken into the stomach of any one person, no matter how delicate, it could do no harm.

The Winnipeg (Canada) Free Press of a few days since contains account of the success that followed the ef forts of William Knowles, an English man who located near Winnipeg, Man itoba. This is but one of many let ters giving experiences of settlers, and should be encouraging to those who are looking about for a new home in which they may better their conditions. The following is a copy of the article referred to: William Knowles, who cultivates some twelve acres of land just below Middlechurch ferry on east side of the Red River has probably as fine a dis play of horticultural products as any in Manitoba. The whole of his hold ing is in a high state of cultivation and literally crowded with splendid vegetable specimens, which have for tunately escaped damage by hail, al though heavy storms have more thau once occurred within a few miles. The potatoes are a wonderful crop, and he expects to raise 1,500 bushels from his patch of 4</2 acres. A half dozen of tubers selected yesterday average more than a pound each. Adjoining the potatoes may be seen a marvelous collection of tomatoes. There are 600 plants, all growing under an enor mous weight of fruit. One single stock picked yesterday contained eighteen tomatoes and weighed four pounds. This extraordinary example of marvelous growth, together with some of the potatoes were sent to the Free Press office. The proprietor was the first in town with several specimens, includ ing green corn. The season has been favorable for onions, and one square patch of nearly an acre is looking re markably healthy. In addition there are good crops of cabbages, cauliflow er, turnips, parsnips, carrots, pump kins, marrows, cucumbers, celery, peas, lettuce, rhubarb, etc. The floral de partment has not been neglected and a charming display of all the well known blooms were shown, including a specially choice lot of asters. Mr. Knowles, who gained most of his gardening experience in England, is loud in his praise of Manitoba soil for vegetable raising, and is gratified with the result of his first attempt at extensive horticulture. Annoying. “I suppose your family had a good time in Europe.” “Well,” answered Mr. Cumrox, “I don’t think mother and the girls en joyed themselves all the time.

The very thought of the hospital, the operating table and the knife strikes terror to her heart. It is quite true that these troub les may reach a stage where an ope ration is the only resource, but a great many women have been cured by Lydia E.
