The programme tor tbe first day
TUB OHIO COSYK'iTIOX
The democrats in Ohio have made a
good atari in their mate campaign by
tbe selection of an excellent state
ticket. With Kilbourne at the bead
of tbe ticket and Anthony Howell? tor
Lieutenant Governor, Joseph Iliiy for
judge of supreme court, Harry R.
Young for clerk of supreme court ; M.
B. McCarthy for attorney general ; R.
P. Alshirc for treasurer of state and
James B. holmao for member oi
board of public works the party has a
strong ticket.
On national issues the state platform
is opposed to trusts and combinations
that go to crush out individual enter
prises. It advocates a strict construe
lion of the constitution, allowing the
greatest individual liberty, consistent
with tbo public order and welfare.
It advocates tariff reform and em
pbasizesthe importance of tbe same
wbeo we are especially needing foreign
markets to consume oar surplus pro
ducts, and urges tariff for revenue
so levied as not to burden one industry
tor tbe benefit of another.
It demands the suppression of trusts
and tbe restoration of our merchant
marine to its former greatness without
the aid of vast subsides to a favored
tew. It opposes the extension of our
national boundaries beyond such limits
that eqnsl rights may be carried to all
tbe inhabitants included in tbat exten
sion. In mentioning some of our recent
accessions of territory it says: "Thai
ibey imperil the national safety with
out promotion of the national welfare:
tbat they' devolve upon us enormous
responsibilities we have no call to
assume; that they are certain to be an
nerememerative drain upon our
resources; that ibey tend to embroil us
with European powers; that they
weaken oar claims to supremacy on
tbe American continent, at the same
time tbat they lessen our abitity to
make the claim good; and that thej j
furnish a dangerous opportunity and
temptation for the disregard of the
self evident truth of universal applica
tion that 'governments derive their
just powers from tbe consent of tbe
governed.'" ,
The republican party, tbe party of
class interests, is not to be trusted to
deal with tbe evils of its own creation.
A forcible paragraph is tbe follow
iug taken from the latter part of tbe
platform: "One great danger which
now threatens our tree institutions is
the widespread corruption which
tnenances tbe destruction of publio
virtue. Vast sums of money are cor.
ruptly employed in popular elections;
official defalcations are so frequent as
to scarcely excite attention; and po
litical bosses rule and rob tbe people,
all of which is a direct result of repub.
lican policies and legislation." The
democrats of Ohio are on the right
track. It only remains for tbe
democracy of each state to wheel its
forces into the conflict of 1904 on
eimiliar lines and tbe party of trusts
and oppressive monopolies will eo
down beneath the opposition of an
awaeened and enlightened popular
vote.

FLOCKLNG TO SEW LANDS.
Thousands are flocking to the Indian
reservations that are soon to be opened
In accordance with the President's late
proclamation. Many are dissatisfied
at the plan of deciding claims by lot
and others are biguly pleased at this
feature of tbe opeuing. One good
feature of tbe plan is tbat tbe feebler
ones will not be run over and crowded
out by tbe bully and tbe ruffian and
every one has an equally fair show
As there are a great many more people
tbau claims many must be disappoint
ed on any plan.
People who fall to get claims in the
territory to be opened August 6th
need not be discouraged. Doubtles
n a few years the government will
decide that tbe Filipinos are not
capable of governing themselves and
their land will then be apportioned
out in the same wav that the iw.r

Indian is now being forced to settle
upon a limited patch of land. In a
few more years the disappointed home-
seekers will be invited to the Philip
pines to draw by lot for a homestead.

MISSOURI'S SCHOOL FUND.
Tne Jefferson City Press of July 7th
bas an article on "Looting the School
Funds" which so fully answers the
slanders thrown out by some republi.

another column. Missouri bss a
princely school fund which bas been
created by democrats under demo.
cratio management and which is being
increased with every year ot demo
cratic administration. There is noth
ing small about Missouri's school fund
and there is nothing tne matter with

According to our estimate of the value
of Chinamen there must have been a

justify a claim of half a million dollars.

Restrictions of French Uirl Life.
"The program of what a French
girl may or may not do is drawn np
very precisely," declares lb. rsentzon
(Madame Blanc), in The Ladies' Home
Journal for July. "Unless she is poor
and has to earn ber own living she
never goes out alone. The company
of a friend of ber own age would not
be sufficient to chaperon ber. It is an
established rule that novel-reading is a
rare exception. She Is entirely subject
to ber parents' will in tbe mutter ot
reading. And it she asks to see any.
thing at tbe theatre except a classical
masterpiece, or an opera, they will tell
ber that such a thing is not considered
proper, feeling sure of her silent sub
mission. After she is fifteen years old
she is generally allowed to be in the
drawing room on ber mother's recep
tion days, but must keep to the modest
and secondary place assigned ber;
pouring tbe lea and presenting it,
courtesying to her elders, answering
when spoken to in short, undergoing
her apprenticeship. She has but few
jewels, and under no pretext any
diamonds. Custom does not Derm 1 1
ber to wear costly things; nor does it
give her the right, in general, to have
a money allowance worth speaking ot
for her personal use. Sbe receives a
trilling sum of charity, her books and
gloves. A young girl never takes the
lead in conversation, but always allows
the married lady the precedence, and
she fiuds it quite natural to occupy tbe
background."
One ot tbe attractions suggested for
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition is a
reproduction of the Roman coliseum
with the size increased to about double
ibat of tbe great Roman one nal. St

a grander scale than anything ever
undertaken before
After ten years time TuTkey bas at
last paid that little claim of $95,000,
indemnity due the United States!
Turkey must have become fearful lest
the United States would do as some of
her unpaid soldiers did a short time
ago, break into her treasury and take
her pay uy force.

"About ten years ago a young fellow
named Ben Harney went to a party
given by colored folks in a suburb of
Louisville. While be was there two
darkies, who were experts 00 the banjo
began playing.
"While tbey were playing Harney

tbe two baojos was peculiar, but very
catchy. 80 after a while, wben called
upon to play something. Harney ran
bis fingers carelessly over tbe keys of
tbe piano and tried to imitate the time

At first he failed, but before 1 h.
