War doll, chairman of tho populist etato cen tral committee of California, and J. Taylor Rogers, Mayor Sutro's secretary, have prepared a platform which it is proposed to present to the national pop ulist convention at St. l-ouia next week. Tho linnncial plank is as follows: "Wo demand a national money, is sued directly by the general government only, a3 a full legal tender for all debts aud issued without the agency of imy privato coror.tiori or bank, and in cir culating volume suljert to law and re Spocsivo to our need1?, and speedily to bo increased to f50 per capita of tho en tiro people.

He found himself confronted by a etrong forco in a superior position. Seeing his error and hoping to escaje. Maceo shouted to his followers : "Back, let U3 retreat. They are too many f .r us."

Bankers In Convention. Niauaha Falls, N. Y July li The third annual convention of tho New Vork Stato Bankers' Association began htrotoday.with 100. bankers in atten- all lice. .iVesiderit James G. Cannon closed his annua! report with t.. 'ollow ing reference to tho currency question: "Too bankers of tho country are its largest debtors and it is to their honor that they stood like a solid wall repelling the free-silyer attacks that made serious inroads in tho ranks of other debtors Wo believe in tho laws of freedom, truth and faith in God, and it behooves us to stand firm in our demands for honesty in commercial affairs, for honest con duct and honest statements, for honest banking and for an honest dollar.'' Hanged At Folsom. FoLnoji. Cal., July 17. lohn E. How ird wap hanged in the prison corridor to ay foi tho murder of Martin DeLanina, m T dare coutnv, 111 June, 1S91. OnU a) p-Tons besides the pri-on omctals witi.es-ed the execution. Howard walked firmly to the scaffold and stood calm and composed till the drop fell. A slight twitching of the hands gave the only evidence of agitation. Before the hanging he thanked War den Aull for the kind treatment he had 'teeived, and then said to the small irroup of spec.ators. "Well, liovs, th hide gees with the tallow." J.ue was extinct in exactly 13 minutes. To the last, Howard protested that the killing was in self defense, in the face of the fact that the murdered man was shot in the back of the head,. Short!- aftf r his arrival at the prisou he expressed sorrow- for the killing and showed a desire for religious consolation, bnt alter the gover nor declined to interfere he became de fiant. Last night and this morning he manifested indifference to the presence of the prison chaplain, and dropped all pretense of religious conviction. W. U. Pierce, a cousin, was the only relative of Howard who witnessed the execution. Bond-Issue Rumors. New Yoek, July 17. The rally of stocks today was attended by a revival of the rumors of the impending new government bond issue. It was the al ledged report of tho financiers who have been in conferenco with Assistant Secretary Treasury Cnrtis on the sub ject. It was said that the secretary of the treosurv aud the president believed an issue of bonds will soon be necessary and the political effect of such a step would have practically worn off by elec tion time. The appearance of Curtis at the subtreasury yesterday and today lent color to the report, especially in view ot the strong, active market for government bonds this morning. Bank ers usually identified with financial mt-asure3 of the administrition and members of the old 'government bond syndicate discredited the report. Democracry's Crisis. Geneva, July 17. Colonel Henry Wat ttrson, who is sojourning with his fam ily at Geneva, was interviewed by the correspondent of the Herald touching the democratic crisis in the United it tes. Colonel Wattorson has sought scciusion in the Swiss mountains, not merely for recreation and rest, but for the purpose ef completing the lif-i of Abraham Lincoln on which he has been engaged for some time. "For more than a year," said Co;oi el Watterson, "I have been out of active politics and on that account Ihavode- cli ied to bo drawn into tho discussion ot pu'ilie matters and into exposing ra so f to criticisms and responsibilities which could not be met. You see, I am not used to taking blows without giving them, in controversial combat, and I am loth to put myself at a disadvantage in this regard. But the condition of affair? a home is too serious to justify silence of any rumi whose opinions may be de- tired. What h it you particularly wish mo to speak of?" "First, the ticket nominated at Chi cago." "Personally it is an unexceptionable ticket. Mr. Bryan is a most worthy and well educated young man, with a talent for what jwsses for oratory. He is fer vid, sincere, poor and honest. Mr. bew ail is a democrat of long standing and credit. Ho is a millionaire from Maine, who, having nothing to lose politically, thinks he can afford to gratify caprice and amuso himself by playing w ith pop ulism. It is a ticket that may be made to nrouso a good deal of enthusiasm, both real and artificial." "Aud the platform-.'" Monstrous. It uot.ouly means na tional repudiation and spoliation, but is an open door to revolution. If tho lead ers of this movement could come into power, those of thorn who have any sonso of accountability and conception orderly government would bo quickly set aside. by tho wild elements behind. In this way civil war, as foreshadowed by tho Chicago outbreaks of last year, could be precipitated upon tho country Then tho strong hand of tho federal power was interposed, but if this were withheld the reign of the mob would be easy cuougb." "What of tho proposal to put another democratic ticket in tho field? what ho said, "that those who are so quick to urge tho concentration of all sound-money men upon McKiuley are either republicans, who 'naturally seek to swell their party ranks by such an unexpected accession, or thoo demo- crats,,who from a sense of sheer outrage aua "issust, leap at conclusions, not caring lo take two biles at a cherry. But thero are considerations which neither class takes into accont. There are from two to four millions of staunch democrats who may not be so easily transferred from one party to the other, yet whose votes can be made just as effective in suppressing anarchy as the votes of those republicans who directly support McKinley. These democrats munt have some abiding place. They cannot find it under a flag of which one half is for sound money and the other half for protection. "Mr. McKinlry cannot compromise an issue which ho has made the cornerstone-of his political belief. It is true that the money is-ue, not the tariff, is in the a-ceud.int now, but thfte mttt t- i.;ic.il k n-ii-t nry in all tt.iugs, at:d neither M Kimev nor ins part can ig nore tariff pledges without self-stultifica tiou. Hence, a nev democratic conven tion, with another democratic ticket, would be the one refuge for those demo crats who have nowhere else ' to go, Failure to respect the convictions and xigencies of these democrats will te in the highest degree unsafe. "As between McKinley and Bryan in the final outcome, Mr. Bryan would probably get as many ot these votes as Mr. McKinley, while many would re fuse to go to the polls, but a sound money democrat would get them all. Thu3, after the election, the oppo sition may be on a sound basis and not relegated to the wild horses of populism for three years nioro of ruinous agitation with another life-or-death struggle at the end of them. It is not certain that a ticket headed by Carlisle or Whitney and placed upon a real democratic platform would not get moro votes than the ticket headed by Mr. Bryan. Such a ticket would not tmpsril the result, but would secure it. The complete disintegration of the democratic patty is an event to be con templated by thoughtful persons only with forebodings of evil." BRIEF MENTION. Frum Friday "5 Daily. J. T. C.
