That we demand return to the original homestead policy, to the end that all settlors upon the public domain now occupied or to be opened to future settlement shall be entitled to a free homestead, and that all settlers upon public lands who have paid in acreage price under existing laws shall have their homestead riBhts restored, The cancer upon our body rolitlc, known as trusts, is generally ad ml ted . to be the overshadowing evil of the age- These trusts are the result and culmination of all the Industrial evils that infest and curse our industrial system. The causes that produce and foster the trusts are due directly to the private ownership and control of the three great Instruments of commerce, money, transportation and means of transmission of information; which in struments of commerce are public functions and which our forefathers declared in the constitution should be controlled by the people through their congress for public welfare. Therefore we offer as the only rem edy for this glganitc and deadly evil auoh legislation as will enaot Into law our declaration of principles, as set forth In the three above plans on mon ey, transportation and transmission of intelligence, in accordance with the constitution of the United States. "Wo heartily endorse and point with pride to the rapid extension of the principle of municipal ownership of public utilities which have invariably resulted in a better sen-ice at a less cost and in better wages for employes and the removal of the curse of local domination of municipal politics. 'These beneficent results from pub lic ownership would be multiplied an hundred fold as a result of public ownership of natural interstate monop olies. "We demand that all goods con trolled by trusts shall be placed upon the free list. "Resolved .That we denounce the action of the govern Dr of Idaho, and the federal government In using the military arm of the government to abridge and suppress the civil and in herent rights of the laborers of the Cpeur d'Alene by establishing an in famous permit system, which denlea citiuena the sacred right of organiz ing for their mutual advancement and compels them to renounce their man hood, their liberties and their rights ability and capacity of such form of government for ultimate survival Abraham Lincoln, U. 8.

"Third Hy actual demonstration the ultimate survival of suvh free govern ment retains Its Integrity even In the severest of selfishness and prejudice and clamor President McKlnley and a righteous public sentiment." The platform, as framed, Instructs the delegates for McKlnley, and In dores the administration. It mentions its foreign policy and the currency law and recommends proper control of trusts and combines deemed Inimical to the interests of the public gener ally. Caucuses were held during the fore noon for eleven districts of the state, and delegates to the Philadelphia con vention elected- They were Instructed for McKlnley. A. H.

In 1S96, and again in 1S98. ne was the fusion candidate for member of congress in the sixth Min nesota district, and in both contests came within a few hundred vots of being elected, although he was made a special target of Mark Hanna and hla well-known methods. "Such courage as he has displayed In turning his back upon preferment ar.d reward at the hands of a rich and powerful party and following his hon est convictions, to meet defeat and a bitter struggle for his very existence, has proved his title to our confidence and to our support for one of the high est offices in the gift of the American people. Such courage as he has dis played may well stand beside that of him who on that bright morning of 1S9S, stood on the bridge of his flagship and piloted his ship over death-dealing mines to fierce battle and triumph over he Spanish navy at Manila bay. o aoier, truer, no more deserving or available man can be named for this high position than he. whom the slate of Minnesota here presents, and wnom i now name in the person of Hon.

DE3 MOINES, la., May lO.-At the republican convention herA tho fniinw. before being permitted to seek employ- lng were made delegates at large to i the Philadelphia convention: Gover nor Leslie M. Shaw, Htnry French, Dr. T. H. Smith, LaFayette Young. Con gressman Cousins was the temporary chairman. His speech was greeted with enthusiastic applause. Mr. Cousins devoted some time to a comparison of the nation's finances under the admlnistrtlons of Cleveland and McKlnley. He then compared the foreign trade of the United States un der the present and the preceding ad ministrations, showing that the bal ance of trade In our favor during the three years Just passed is 11,158,510,438 more tnan that for the preceding 10 years He praised the administration for its conduct of the war and lu treatment of the people of the acquired territory, declaring absurd the claim that the constitution of Us own force extends to them. Said he: "In 'the case of Puerto Rico, heeding the suggestion of the president, congress dealt with that Island on the most liberal and loyal torrns "Congress removed 83 per cent of the tariff duties and by the same act em powered the legislative body of Puerto Rico to remove the remaining 15 per cent whenever they see fit, thus grant ins free Intercourse at their option, and In the meantime giving lor their benefit every dollar of all taxes that have been or shall be collected. The history of our world reveals no such magnanimity to any outlying territory, people or possession as has thus far been exercised by the United States towaid Puerto Rico." In closing he said: "The nineteenth century has been made the most Illustrious century of time by three unparalleled achieve ments: "First The declaration and estab lishment of free government by civil ized, enlightened men George Wash ington, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and the Continental army. ''Second The demonstration of the ment. "We demand direct legislation, giv ing the people the right to initiate and enact all laws under the "initiative" and reject laws proposed jnder the "referendum." thus giving the law making and veto power to the people, to whom it belongs. While trusts and corporations may control a few privi leged lawmakers, they cannot buy a majority of all the people. "We demand that the expensive sys tem of "red tape" political favoritism, cruel and unnecessary delay and crim inal evasion of the rtatutes in the management of the pension office shall be reduced to a simple and honest execution of the law, until the na tion shall fulfill its pledges by service pensions for all Its honorably dls -charged veterans of that war. Nominations were than declared In order and when that of vice-president was reached J. H. Bower, of Minne sota, presented the silver republican from his state in the following speech. "In my Judgment it would have been wiser and better for us all to have held this convention at the same time and place fixed upon by our allies, but, in pursuance of an honest endeavor to preserve the unity of our party, the national committee magnanimously made a concession, by virtue of which we are assembled in advance of our allies. "We thus find ourselves confronted with a grave responsibility which we might have very wisely divided with -4he democrats and 6ilver republicans. "We have very properly decided to accept it, and, in doing so, we must make no mistake in the choosing of a candidate for the office of vice president. No ordinary offering will likely be acceptable to our allies. He must b a man of recognized honesty, ability and courage. If we offer such a candidate, we can rely upon the party who gave us "William J. Bryan and the Chicago platform of 1896 to heartily Indorse him. If we do this, MORE FILIPINO ATROCITY. Five Hundred Rebels Attack Twenty five Americans and Are Routed With Heavy Loss To n of Trocan Burned. MANILA. May 11.

WASHINGTON, May 10 The month ly report of the agricultural depart ment Is as follows: Returns to the statistician of the departmen of agriculture to May 1 show the area of winter wheat In cul tivatlon on that date to have been about 26,535,000 acres, or 11.8 per cent less than the area estimated to have been sown last fall. The reduction in acreage in the principal states is ow ing to the winter killing and the rav ages of the Hessian fly. For the area remaining under culti vation the average condition on May 1st was 88.9 points. This average Is 6.2 points above the mean of averages of the last ten years and has been exceeded only three times in fifteen years. SALISBURY'S BAD BREAK. Uses the Queen's Visit as an Excuse to Tell Irishmen They Can't Be Independent.
