ft vi "-1V ^l)e democrat. WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 27,1899. O.FPIOIAL PA^en OFOITY AND COUNTY DEMOCRATIC SENATORIAL CONVEX TION. The Domoorats of Buchanan and Delaware counties will meet in dclcgato convention at the Court House, in Manchester, FRIDAY, SEP TEMBER 89, AT 3 P. for the purpose of nominating a candidate for State Senator, the selecting of a senatorial committee, and any other business that may come before the con vention. W.M.HI6BBE. HUBERT CARR. Committee. Bryan and White As Hon. Lafe Young puts It, Hawkove demo crats have re-engaged the business o! politics. —Telegraph. Yes, the Democratic party Is in politics again, And, that they mean to raise a dust, Is an Item very plain: Our leader—William Bryan, Is not unknown to fame, And when it oomes to politics, He understands the game. lie Is down on war for conquest, .And he's after every trust- Monopoly, when he ""gets there," Will Just "get up and dust." Imperialism is a foe That firvaa likes to fight, And on that very enemy 7 With every vote we'll light. Hawkeye democrats are lively, They are full of hope and work. While our leaden. White and Bryan, Were never known to shirk. 'lis very plain our politics, In Iowa look bright, 55o we'll slog a song for Bryan And another for Fred White. We'll vote for White this fall, We'll vote for Bryan next, And "out each foe of liberty," Shall be our guiding text. The republican party is a powerful organization, but it is not Btron enough to so change the constitution of the United States as to convert this govern ment into a military machine to wage wars of conquest abroad and- silence the conscience of the American peo ple at home. An Enemy of Trusts. Mr. Bryan's second speech on truBts, made at the Chicago Conference on Saturday afternoon, in reply to Mr. Cockran and to Mr. Foulke, displayed even more fully than his set speech in the morning hip unequalled capacity lor popular leadership in the movement against monopoly. Mr. .Bryan's advantage lies in this He believes that there are monopolies that they are evils that they can be remedied—and he has remedies to pro pose. For the people, who see the power of trusts and feel their oppression, thiB is what appeals to them, rather than a weighing of compensations, hair-split ting over difficulties and doubts whether anything can be done. Mr. Bryan says, If the people are in earnest they can break up monopoly. And the way to show that they are in earnest, BB the World has frequently said, is to elect lawmakers, law officers and executives who are in earnest too.— N. Y. World. A Notable Misapprehension. There exiBts in 'the minds of some people a very erroneons idea relative to to the qualities necessary for success in the legal profession. They think it is only desirable for a lawyer to be smart, eloquent, ingenious and tricky. Noth ing could be much farther from the truth. The most successful lawyer 1b the man who is moBt reliable in all that he says and does. The leaders of the bar every where are men whose distin guishing quality is reliability. Courts and juries want to know the truth, that they may render decisions and verdicts in accordance with their views of justice and right. They desire correct information, and the lawyer who can be relied upon to furnish it, is the man who has influence. The lawyer who has never permitted his reputation for frankness and fairness to be tarnished by trickery or simulation is assured of all the success which his diligence and mental capacity will warrant. The citizens of Rolfe, Iowa, woke up to the fact that they were money-losers because of the poor condition of their streets and highways. They got to talk ing, and from talking to working, and E. subscription paper good for $650 was obtained from the business men. This was presented to the city council and similar amount voted from the city treasury. This was supplemented by liberal donations of team work by the farmers. Gravel pits bought and open ed, and on four leading roads out of the city, all winter, a force of men has been hauling gravel. Rolfe will have good roads hereafter and people from far and near will go there to trade because of it —L. A. W. Bulletin. There will be a Good Roads Conven tion in Des Moines on the Cth and 7th of next month. Secretary Brewer an nounces that speeches will also be made by Hon. A. B. Stickney, president of the Great Western Railway, by Hon, 1'. Dolllver and Captain Hull, congress men, who have given much thought to free rural mail delivery. It iB expectrd that not less than 20,000 people will be in attendance. W. H. Moore, the pres ident of the National Good RoadB Movement, will also be present and ad dress the people. Every member of the board of supervisors, every poBtmaBter, every member of the legislature, every editor, every congressman, are delegates ex-olficlo to this convention. One fare for the round trip. The Diving Record Broken. On the afternoon of Tuesday, Septem ber 12, Captain Louis Sorcho, deep sea diver, broke the world's record by staying under water for eight hours. The cap tain's popular resort on the Midway o: the Greater American Exposition at Omaha was the scene of the successful attempt to break the record and win a gold medal offered by the Exposition managers and a number of admiring friendB and interested spectators were in attendance. Captain Sorcho, who 1B an experienced deep sea diver and brought up 132 bodies from the wreck of the battleship Maine in Havana har bor, donned his diving suit at 2:16 p. m. and descended to the bottom of a large glass tank, remaining under water with out food or drink until 10:20 in the evening. During all this time he was supplied with air from A pump above just as though he was under the ocean, and gave regular exhibitions of a diver's work and experiences at the bottom of the sea. He was in constant communi cation with the outside world by means of a submarine telephone, one of hiB most valuable Inventions, and was close .. )re ly watched by hiB faithful wife, who allzed more keenly than anyone else the strain to which a diver is subjected and the constant danger which he faces. The captain was much fatigued tter his long stay under water, but was none the worse for having added thirty min utes to the record.—World. Governor Shaw withdrew from the governor's convention because the ma jority believe that the rights of natural persons, God made persons, were being circumscribed and trespassed upon by man made persons, by corporations and monopolies. The governor might have jeopardized his standing in the corpora tion party by taking part in the deliber ations of a convention where the major ity favored placing the commonwealth above wealth, the rights of men above the rights of corporations.

It was known at the time of the outbreak of th* Insur gents against the Americans that th* artillery of the Insurgents consisted of a few obsolete guns captured from the Spaniards. Acting Secretary Allen says that It Is evident the navy at Manila does not intend to allow any fort to be erected by the Insurgents which can be reached by the ships, and he is convinced that the squadron un der Rear Admiral Watson will be able to keep the shores guarded and repeat the lesson of Saturday if the insur gents are found to be operating on th* coast Minnesotans to Retain Guns* San Francisco, Sept. 25.—The' Min nesota volunteers now at the presidio have turned over their guns to Gov ernor Lind of Minnesota.

He announced that Governor McMlllln stated the committee on resolutions would be ready to report at 11 o'clock and asked that the confercnce take a recess. Resolutions Presented. On reassembling Mr. McMlllln pre sented the resolutions as adopted by the committee 6n resolutions. They are as follows: 'The committee on resolutions, to jvhlch was referred several resolutions and papers, in lieu of all of them, sub mit the following, with the recommen dation that it be adopted by this con ference: That we believe the best present available remedies lie along the following lines: "First The enactment and enforce ment both by the several states and the nation of legislation that shall adequately and fully define as crimes any attempted monopolization or re straint of trade In any line of indus trial activity, with provisions for ade quate punishment, both of the Individ ual, or the corporation, that shall be found guilty thereof punishment to the corporation to extent of Its disso lution. For Control of Corporations. "Second. The enactment by eaicb'of the states of the union of legislation for the adequate and proper control and regulation of corporations, char tered by that state, and we recom mend as efficacious a system of re ports to, and examination by, state au thority of the corporations organised under Its laws, to the end that they be brought to a fair observance of the laws under which they are created. "Third. The enactment by each state of laws that will prevent the entrance of any foreign created corporation-Into Its limits for any other purpose than Interstate commerce, except on terms* that will put the foreign created cor poration on a basis of equality with the domestic created, corporation of the state entered, and subject to the same laws, rules and regulations of Uie state that It enters* which are ap plicable to' the domestic corporations of that state, and to this end we rec ommend legislation that would make It mandatorey upon corporations seek ing to engage in business outside the state of their creation that they pro cure licenses from the foreign state as a condition precedent to their entry into such state such license to be granted on such terms and subject to such restrictions aB will place the cor poration subject to the same control. Inspection, supervision and regulation as the domestic corporation of that state, and subject to be revocable If the conditions thereof are violated. Prohibited from Other States* "Fourth. The enactment of state leg islation, declaring-that a corporation created in one state to do business ex clusively In other states than where created shall be prohibited from ad mission into any state. .This propo sition is supported by decisions of the supreme courts of several states, but we believe it should become legisla tive enactment, uniform throughout the states. "Fifth. That no corporation should be formed In whole or in pnrt by any corporation. "Sixth. That no corporation shall own or hold any stock in another cor poration engaged in similar or com petitive business, and that no officer or director of a corporation shall be the officer or director or the owner of stock In another corporation engaged In a similar or competitive business, the object or result of which is to create a trust or monopoly. Kach State Should Fuss Laws. "Seventh. Itecognizing that trusts are composed of corporations, and that corporations are but creatures of the law, and can only exist in the place of their creation, and cannot mi grate to another sovereignty without the consent of that sovereignty, and that this consent may be withheld when desired, we recommend as the sense of this conference that each state pass laws, providing that no corpora tion which 1B a member of any pool or trust in that Btate or elsewhere, can do business In that state. "Resolved, That It is the sense of this conference that all the capital stock of private corporations should be fully paid either first, In lawful money or second, In property of the actual cash value of the amount of the capital stock and that in all private corporations with a capital stock Is sued In excess of the amount actually paid up as above provided, the share holders shall be liable to the extent of twice the face value of the stock held by each." The resolutions were adopted and the conference adjourned sine die. WIIX BE HO RETREAT. British Stand in Transvaal Situation to B* Maintained. London, Sept. 25.—No retreat, no provocation, but more troopB to the front. That is a brief summary of the last cabinet meeting. The continuance of negotiations with the Transvaal on former lines Is not considered desira ble, and a fresh start will be made as soon us the milliners have leisure for a deliberate review of the whole situa tion. Meanwhile, the military forces in South Africa will be Increased by 10,000 or 20,000 men the Transvaal government will be courteously In formed that the ministers require time for reconsidering the subject of Eng land's relations with the Dutch re public, and the door will not be closed against pacific diplomacy if President Kruger wishes to make fresh over tures. The ministers are determined not to provoke a declaration of war, especially when they arcu ot in readi ness for "hostilities, but they will j,0t modify the terms of the lasj com munication sent out by Mr* fchamber lain. The srent stir of milftury prepara tion prevailing at nrff,y headquarters betokens the dispatc ,, of larga re-en- forcementa to the fcRpD nn| NataI, tfc. Mtflonood cott/£Br0Mt Hr Balfour aud Lord Ttotbsdilld indi cates that the spending departments are short of money, and that parlia ment may be summoned in October, unless temporary arrangements can bo made with the great financiers for bridging over the crisis. The drift of affairs this week has been strongly in the direction of war, although no one in authority Is yet willing to adult that the last word has been said In favor of peace. Military experts com plain that the ministers have been too optimistic, and that Kruger now has a chance of striking Natal before the British garrison is prepared to defend thq^frontier adequately. Calls for Dumdum Bullets* Cape Town, Sept 25.—The Ons Land, the Afrikander Bund organ, commenting on the British cabinet meeting, heads Its articles "more de mands, more troops, more dumdum bullets."
