I TilIE 1 EMOCOATIc NOMINEES. Th) Coiveition Put korward Two Stronlg Candidtates and a Most V1g orous Platfform. The Domocratic convention met in Ransas City on July 4th and was called to order by Senator James K. Jones, of ? Arkansas, chairmian of the national e commnittoo. . Congreussman .iamnes D).l jiohardson, of Tennesm- e, was permIa net chairman. The I)oclaratiun of Independehceo was road amid great r enth.usiasm. . . it On Thursday, William Jonnings w Bryan -waus nominated l)y. acelamation ( for president- and the ioxt day, Adlai fi E. Stevenson, of Illinois, vice president a under -Cleveland, was unanimously c nominated for vice president. The platform was road by Senator Tillman for the committee -and is as follows : which an imperialist would extend to a sorrowing inother, assuring her that 1) the tradt purchased by her son's blood would be worth all -that it cost !" Nr.;.Bryan muakes a telling point ) when he says: "One of the great objections to in. pot rialism is that it destroys our proud pre-eminence- among the nations. ? Wher the dopsrine of self -government .is abandoned, the United States will cease to be a moral factor in the world's progrcss. We cannot preach t the d.ctrino that governments come u) from the People, atid, at th2 same P time,. practice the doctrine that gov erqmpnts'rest upon brute force. We annot. et- a high and honorable ex- p. nploefor the emulation of mankind C hile' we roaln the world like beasts ti 4f. prey seeking whom we may de- h .vgur." .1 . Mr..Bryan says that if the Ropubli- et cainb had accepted the Bacon resolu- c tion,-tintroduced in the Senate, its pas- i 14age would have averted war with the M] -,l"'ipinos and saved the bloo. which st has been shed in that needless conflict. tc lie concludes with .these impressive ti Words : 0, "The warning voice of history can- r( not longer be disregarded.

We hold with the !i United State Supreme Coul-t that the I l)cclaration of Independed6e is the p, spirit of our government, of which al the constitution is the form and letter. ti We declare again that all governments ii instituted amintn men derive their just a Iod#cts3 *from -the consent of the gov- ai erned ; that any government not based R upon the consent of the governed is a ti tyranny, and that tq'jnpose upon any people a gnvernment of force is to suh. y( stituta the mothods of imperialism for di those of a republic. We hold that the U contititttion follows the flag, and do- in nounce the doctrine that an executive pI or Congress, deiving their existence e3 and their powers from the constitu- ti tion. can exerciso lawful authority bo- w yond it, or in violation of it. We as- b) sert that no nation can long endure Li half republic and half empire. and we vj warn the American people that impe- it rll!n abroad will leadl eq~ikly 1-nd-u inevitably to de1)otism at hoIme.

It doomed to poverty and w distrees a pecople whose helplessness hi appeals with peculiar force to our jus- TI tice and magnanimity. In this, the e .set Aaet of Us imperialistic program, a .the Rlpublican party seeks to commit. p the United States to a colonial policy, ti inconsistent with Republican institu- I' tions- and condemned by the supreme te court in numerous decisions. 0 WE AILUS'I' NOT CIIEATr CUHiA. a We demand t~he prompt-and honcet,5 'tultilment, of ur pledge to the Cuban peopl)e and the'v.iorld that the United a States has no disposition nor intention ' to exercise sovereignty,' jurisdiction or C cunr#.1 oser lic.isjand of Cuba, except ti -fgr its p~aci catl9n.

Now as to that great Buddha, my inding tells mne that the common peo o do not. express any great adoration r him nor faith In him. As Dr. John. n1 remar-ked to loswell, " it is neces ry for every nation to have some rell ion, whether they understand it or it," and hence the superstition of the lineso has taken hold of Buddha as t best they can do. But this unknown >d has failed thom so often in great acrgerncies they have no unwavering ith in him. And yet there are over J00,000 priests in the empire who ake it beggarly living out of Buddha u. Buddlia has given them a little id for overything. Uverything that ncerns their temporal welfare; noth g for the heart or the immortal soul. icy do not believe in either. They y that there is no future life, but if ere is then good conduct in this life 11 ensure safety In that. If the rice its rains, they appeal to the god of in, If the drought continues long, cy drag the little rain god out on his ieels and let him stand in the burn g sun until it does rain. They want n to see and feel how hot it is. If u rain comes too much and labts too rig and the rico is sprouting in the 1ds they got their squirt guns and ench the rain god every day until stops the pour down.

The por capita tax Is about cents, and all taxes are paid in rice. ina has no bonded debt. No revenue m whisky or wine for none is die ed or drank. Nothing is in her way peace and contentment save foreign sud opliun. I do not know what the ary of the emperor or empress is, but salaries are small. The prince who to succeed the emperor gets only 1,000 pr annum. Then there are ousatnds and thousands of oilcials in oiry province, from the governor iwn, but their ipay, is'small. A sold r in the standing army gets but $4 ir month. Trhat army is composed of rout 1,000,000 of men. The emperor ts no abitrary power. lie must con rmr to the laws and must advise with s cabinet, and behind all is the great >ard of control that represents the sople and is made up of two or more arned iand good men from every pro nco. This board does not act of ten on trilles, but when any great emer mcy arises they meet at Pekin and eir word controls the emperor and orj body else. That is not a bad gov nment, Is It ? The emperor la entiti to an em press and two other wives, ro are call10d queens. If the empress aves no son, then a son of a queen is ron, but nobody knows which son til the emperor (lies, for Confucius d that if the young man knew that was chosen it might make him ar rant. \nother peculiar and democratic >vision of the constitution is that the vllit~y shall not always be nobility. cry generation is reduced in rank LI power down to the seventh, and 3n they become as the common p~eO .['his keep the nobility on the "in gradoe and keeps the government r>m ocing overrun by a pampered an ocracy. That's good. Yes, It Is tter, than the English law of primo niture, which gives all rank and the rme estate to the eldest son and tells c others to go to grass. I saw a num r of tire grass follows in Florida. in the whole, I like the Chinese vornment and I have respect for the )910.
