TO HID TAR PRESIDENTIAL CHOKE The Respective Meetings Highly Harmonious, All Nominations Having Previously Been Made in Recent. State Primary Election. Tie republican state convention which met in Lincoln on the 24th. presided over by Gov. Sheldon, had bnt 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 lastpf which put forth the following as The Republican Platform. As the representatives of the repub licans of Nebraska, in state convention assembled, wc asain commend the in spiring character and undaunted lead ership of Theodore Roosevelt. We es- " peclally 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 rapuclty of tiie lawless trusts by forcing them to desist from their crim inal practices. These policies have our unqualified approval and in order that no backward step be taken, we will Insist that his successor be a man whose record pledges a continuance of the distinctive polices of the Roosevelt Administration. While not presuming to forestall the 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 service 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 lie paid. Its public school funds are growing enormously and be- ing wisely inested in interest-bearing securities. We commend our republican delega tion in congress for their faithful rep resentation of the Interests of the peo ple of Nebraska. Wc 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 ot achlcxement. It is our rare privilege to call attention anew to the platform promulgated by Nebraska repunftcans a year ago. whose every promise lias Iwen carried out in scrupulous goou .faith. The republicans piomised the ' poopcl of this state the following re Xorms. 1. A state-wide direct primary. 2. Abolition of the free pass evil. 3. Comprehensive powers for the state railway commission. A. More equitable iate or transpor tation of passengers and freight. r. Equal taxation of railroad prop erty for city purposes. &. Abolition of fellow servant law and full employer's liability. - 7. A pure food and dairy law. i. ItiKid 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 the 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 re 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- i 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 ablc additional reduction in grain rates. We call upon the railway com--mission to investigate if only those -giving the railways "the major portion of their time" are on the list of pass bolders, and wc insist upon a rigid en- . forcenient of the anti-pass law. . AVe believe the federal judiciary law should be amended to define the citi zenship of interstate corporations for the purposes of jurisdiction of rederai 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 that 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 state oflj " cers charged by law with the enforce . Bicnt 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. THE DEMOCRATS. The democrats gathered in the sen ate chamber, where organization was perfected. Everything 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 state 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 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 confh 4nce in. and admiration for. Honor able William eJnnings Bryan: and re asert our fidelity to the principles which be has so ably advocated, and 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. The various Investigations have traced graft and political cor ruption to the representatives of pred atory wealth and laid bare the -"unscrupulous methods by which they have debauched elections and preyed upon a defenseless public through the sabservient officials whom they have raised to place and power. The con science of the nation is now awak ened and mast not sleep matil the Mverameat is freed from the grip et these who have made It a business as set ef. the favor-seeking corporations: It mm become again "a movement or mple. by the people asm Cor the T and be administered m all Its tts aceordlaa to the J J sonian maxim, "equal rights to all and special privileges to nose." We heartily approve of the laws nrohibitinr the pass and the rebate. and insist upon further legislation.-! Hiuie inu naiioiiiw, nianiiiK - unlaw ful for any corporation to contribute to campaign funds, and providing for publication, before the election, -of all individual contributions above a rea sonable minimum. 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 "the preservation of the general government in Its whole constitutional vigor, as the sheet anchor of our peace at homeland safety abroad." we are op posed to the centralization implied in the suggestions, now frequently made, that the powers of the' -general govern ment should be extended' by judicial construction. While we favor the ex ercise by the general government of all Its constitutional authority for the pre vention of monopoly and for the regu lation of interstate commerce, we ln- ed to. and not substituted for. stare remedies. We favor the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people, and regard this reform as the gateway to all other national re forms. A private monopoly is indefensible and intolerable. We, therefore, favor the vigorous enforcement of the crim inal law against trusts and trust magnates, and demand the enactment of such additional legislation as mar be necessary to make it impossible for a private monopoly to exist in if United States. Among the additional '-remedies we specify three: Kirst. -a law compelling corporations engaged in interstate "commerce to sell to all 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 ileense system which will, without abridging the right of each state to create corpora tions, or its right to regulate as it will foreign corporations doing busi ness within its limits, make it neces sary for all manufacturing and trad ing corporations engaged in interstate 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 the control by such corpo ration of more than oO 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 which they do business, and thus place themselves upon the same footing as domestic corporations. We favor an immediate revision or the tariff by the reduction of import duty. Articles entering into competi tion with articles controlled by trusts should be placed upon the free list: material reductions should be made in the tariff upon all necessaries of lite, 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 authorizing congress to levy and collect a tax upon individ ual and corporate incomes, to the ena 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" by abolish ing the privileges and favoritism upon which they are based. We assert the right of congress to exercise complete control over inter state commerce, and we assert ths right of each state to exercise just as omplete 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 bellee that both the nation and the various states should, first, ascertain tiie present aluc of the railroads, measured by the cost of reproduction: second, pro hibit the issue of any more watered stock or fictitious capitalization; thiid. prohibit the railroads from engaging in any business wnicn urings mem into competiton with their shippers; ana fourth, reduce transportation rates until they reach a point where they will yield only a reasonable return on the present value of the roads sucn reasonable return being defined as a return sufficient to keep the stocK or the ronds at par when such roads arc honestly capitalized. To supplement the reductions made by tiie various states in passenger rates, we favor an act of congrcs requiring the railroads to sell interstate tickets at a rate not exceeding the sum of the local rate. We favor the establishment of state and national boards of arbitration which shall have authority to investi gate, either upon their own initiative or at the request of eithor party, any industrial dispute between corporate employers and their employees, the findings of such boards not to be binding upon cither party, but to serve as a guide to public opinion and as n means of conciliation between labor and capital. We favor the eight hour day. We are opposed to "government by iajunction," the system under wnicn 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, of all 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. Wc 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 form of government. We sympathize with the efforts put forth for the reclamation ot 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 pension policy, both as a matter of justice to the sur viving veterans and their dependants and because It relieves the country or 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 expanse, brought us weakness in stead of strength, and laid our nation open to the charge ot abandoning the .fundamental--doctrine of self-government. We favor an Immediate decla ration of the nation's purpose to rec ognise the independence of the Philip pines as soon as a stable government can he established, such independence to be guaranteed by us, as we guar antee the independence of Cuba, until the' Beatrallsatien of the islands can be secured by treaty with .other powers.

The populists held their meeting in the supreme court room. Delegates were present from twenty-five conn , At the meeting of the state committee C. B. Manuel of St. Paul, the -present chairman was re-elected. The same honor was conferred upon E. A. Walrath of Osceola, secretary. J S. Canaday of Minden was elected treasurer. The committee is in, favor, of fusion and authorized the state committee to arrange for fusion wherever it can be accomplished, and where it has not alreday been brought about by the primaries. Another meeting will be held to locate state headquarters. The platform, among other things, declares: Wc call the attention of the people to the fact that since 18S7 efforts have been made by the people or this state to fix railroad freight rates, a right I ftjejl.:f an . hem in the constitution or the state. All such efforts have proven a failure. The legislation of the last year in our opinion will be as great a failure. Undoubtedly the railroad commis sion, which was created by an amend-, ment to the constitution, has no power to fix rates. We theferore demand that the governor shall call an- extra ses sion of the legislature and that body establish maximum rates upon grain, live stock, fruit, vegetables, building material, fuel and such. kindred prod ucts of protection that enter in the ne cessities of life; also, a stringent anti pass -law. a reciprocal demurrage law. and a law directing the go-ernor of this state to apoplnt a '"competent commission of at least five, no more than two of whom shall be of one po litical party, who shall, after due in vestigation, ascertain and report upon the physical values and the market values of the properties of all common carriers doing business within this state, for the guidance of the 'legisla ture and the taxing powers. Destroyed His Statue. Within the last month there was displayed in the fine arts hall of the Tokio industrial exhibition a marble statue of a young girl bending over a dower which she held in her hand. Its sculptor, Shikai Kitamura, becom ing incensed at 'the jurors who were to make the awards, determined to punish tLem 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 be stopped. A Near-Professional. The Ingenue So our sterling young leading 'man, Mr. Hbgstage, is going to wed a non-professional, eh? The Comedian Not exactly. I hear that the prominent young society wo man, who will soon bear his name', has been divorced twice, lost her Jew els more than once, been reported en gaged to four different titles, owns a French bulldog, has written a tooth powder testimonial, and is devoted to a simple home life and her books! Puck. 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 aud 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 waste 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.

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 restaurants. Scarcely had they found- seats, 'when this amazement took definite shape. "Eli," said she in a stagey whisper, "I can't set here an' eat peaceably.

'' "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.

Dr. Herman Relnbold, 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.

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.
