fc. WW rrCii iie Tb ancient idee of Cashing the ersand gutters of city street with sea crater ii being vigorously disousaed in many place In England it baa coma into such favor that a proposition ia now put forward to tnpply the city of London with sea water. The water would be taken from the sea at a spot not far from Brighton remarkably free from pollution. It would be pumped into a reservoir of 10,000,000 gallons. Thence it would be foroed into another reservoir, from which it would gravi tate to London. The present consump tion of water in London ia 800,000,000 gallons a day, of which 40,000,000 gal lona ia used for municipal purposes. This might be saved for domestic fiur posea by the introduction of sea water. The cost of the project is put at $2,260, 000, and the sea water would be sup plied by meter for publio purposes at a fraction of the present cost of fresh wa ter. One watering of the streets with sea water is said to be equal to two, or even three, with fresh water. It pre vents the decomposition of street refuse. it ia effective for flushing sewers, and Barticularlv valuable for the extinctior of fire. Of its value to health there to no doubt, and it would be easy to sup- blv it to horoitals and to schools for swimming hatha Raaalt the Fallot la the Btata of Washington Last week, at Ellensburg, the Demo crats.

Following are the three platforms adorned at Ellensburg: Section 1. The repreeentatr?es oi the Democratic Dartr of the state ol WaBhinsrton, in oonventicn assembled. do hereby reaffirm our allegiance to the crinoinles of the Dartr as formulated by Thomas Jefferson and firmly main' tained by Andrew Jackson. We be liere that a constant recurrence to those fundamental Drinoinles of a free and Donular ffovernment, based upon indi Tidaal liberty and the content of the governed, is necessary, especially when the control of this government tnreat ens to fall into the hands ot aristoo raoy. monopoly and despotism. - "Sea S. We greet with hearty ap' Droval the new declaration ot indepen dence enunciated by the Democracy of the United States of America at the re cent convention in Chicago; indorse everv nrinoiDle of its platform, and nled ire our united support to the candi dates there selected. We recognize in the nomination of William Jennings Bryan and Arthur Sewall an inspira tion from the Supreme Ruler of Na tions, by whose favor our country has passed through every hour of trial and of peril and has ever found leaders equal to the occasion, grand as the op portunity, sufficient to the struggle. great as the greater need required. "Sec. 8. We demand the free and unlimited ooinage of silver and gold at the ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the consent of any other nation on earth. We denounce the pretense of Republican .international bi-metahsm as a subterfuge; an attempt to estab lish a gold aristocracy with the aid of those who may be duped by a meaning' less phrase. Seo. 4. We denounce tne present Republican administration of our state as extravagant, corrupt, scandai-Dreea ins and a willful abuse of the people s rights. With a pretense of honoring the memory of the great names ol cnam pinns of the people, it now bows down to political bosses and has not enrolled upon its banner the name of any man nnsubservient to the dictates of the money power. "Sec. 6. We call the attention of the common people to the perpetuation in our state of the gigantio Repulbioan ring, which uses the publio patronage to control future elections to perpetu ate itself in the control of the public purse; uses the gigantio earnings of corporations (by the methods of Federal receiverships) to dictate the election ot our representatives in congress and the senate; abuses the franchise of tne pub' lio press by opening the oolumns of its newspapers to but one side of publio discussions; demands of and receives from its votaries absolute prostitution of individual liberty to the diotates of machine politicians. ' "Sec. 6. We invite the serious at' tention of the laboring classes in our state to the attempted control of the elective franchise by threats on the part of the Republican leaders. They do not hesitate to threaten their employes with discharge unless they submit to a sale of the free voting right guaranteed them by; the constitution. Nor will they stop at threats, but will openly carry out the shameful abuse of power unless ohecked by the righteous indig nation of a free people. "Sec 7. We pledge the people of this treat state that when given the control of its government we will re duce the burden of state taxation to the lowest limit consistent with a just and careful administration of the govern mental functions. We will stop the present squandering of the great pub lio domain. We will, so far as now remains possible, use the publio lands for the benefit of the whole people, and ot for the purpose of pulling the purse-strings ot private corporations. We will reduce the burdens laid upon production by the greed of transporta tion companies, aided by legislation purchased from Republican legist tares. To this end we favor a law pro viding for freight rates not exceeding those of the Helm bill, and we favor a 8-oent per mile passenger fare. We will endeavor to make possible the oar trying out ot our system of publio schools, now olosed as the result of Re publioan extravagance. 'Free common schools are the nursery of good govern ment' They should when necessity demands, be preserved even at the ex- : penae of every other I unotion of govern ment The Republican oontrol of the towns, oities, counties and state bat re sulted in the bankruptcy of our school district, and we demand the ore throw of such control. . Sec 8. We condemn the refusal ot the Republican party of this state to divide it into congressional districts, and pledge our party to fair division ot the same. Sec 9. We condemn our present election laws, oontrived to throttle op position to the ring in power; pledge our party to their unconditional repeal, and the enactment of suoh laws at win enable eaoh voter to vote as he pleases and have suoh vote counted. Sec 10. Whereas, the railroad companies ot this state have from time to time issued free passes to legltlatori and other publio omoers, thereby influ enoins their action, we demand that the legislators shall promptly past ade quate lawa to enforce the constitutions! provision against the granting ot free passes to publio officers and the use ot same by anon officers. Sec 1 1. We demand better lawt in relation to mortgage foreclosures; the abolition of deficiency Judgments, and that the possession and use of real prop erty remain in the mortgagor during the full period ot redemption. Fro vided: That suoh lawt shall not inter fere with the obligation of existing oon tracts. ' . . Sec 18. We pledge ourselves to plaoe before the people amendment! to the constitution reforming the present extravagant judicial system and system of state commissions. We recognize in the coming elec tion a crisis in the affairs of govern ment. Free government is self-govern ment We are threatened with a d struotlon of the prinoiple ot Belt-gov ernment The national banks, the transportation and manufacturing cor po rations, the gold manipulators of Wall street and Lombard street oiaim the right to govern us. Demooraoy wears no collar; it serves no master; it has on its side the plain, every-day peo pie of the country and state, and to them we appeal with an unquestioning belief that in this hour of trial and tribulation right will conquer, wrong will be dethroned, ever-controlling masses will overthrow classes, the peo ple will again assume authority and prosperity return, heralded by tne an nouncement of a 'government ot the people, by the people and for the peo ple' " ' ' anally the tonnage of all the foreign railroads added to the entire water traffic of the world, and that as con sequence of suoh . enormous industrial energy our people annually transact fully one-third of the entire volume of the world's business, and we therefore denounce at cowardly, pusillanimous and nn-Amerioan the declaration of the national Republican platform that this country cannot regulate its own finan cial system without foreign aid or in terference, and regard the suggestion of an International agreement at in sincere and contemptible, and we de mand the repeal ot any and all lawt authorising the destruction of the legal tender quality ot money by private oontraot ; v We demand the foreclosure ot the mortgage held by the government on the Union Paoiflo railroad, and should the government, through suoh fore closure come Into the ownership and possession ot the same, we favor its operation by the government" RAN INTO A TRUCK.

We, the representatives of the Peo pie's party of the state of Washington, in convention assembled, reaffirm our allegiance to the principles enunciated at Omaha and St Louis, and most heartily commend them to the favor able consideration of all lovers of free' dom. "Firmly believing that the present system of representative government it inadequate, and that it enables the lew to control the policy of the government to the detriment of the interests of the people at large, and further believing that no permanent relief will be pos sible until the people oan speak more directly ou laws which they are re auired to obey, we demand that the people shall be given a direct vote on all important legislation, and that all officers shall be made the servants of the people, subject at any time to recall or dismissal, and not, as at present, the masters ot those who create them. We demand the enactment into law of the following propositions. The material reduction of excessive salaries of all executive, legislative and judicial officers; lessened freight, passenger, telephone and telegraphic rates within the state; the adoption of the Torrens system of registering land titles; a general system of non-interest bearing warrants, receivable for taxes througn out the state; that school books be fur nisbed to the people's pupils in oar nubho schools at the expense of the state, that in case of sale of property under foreclosure decrees . the debtor shall retain possession ot the property throughout the rdemption period, and the prohibition of denoency judgments, and that the period of redmeption shall be two years instead of one; lib eral exemption from taxation of per sonal property and improvements in or upon land; that the next legislature shall take the neccessary legal steps to submit to the electors of this state to be voted upon at the next regular election an amendment to the state constitution conferring the elective franchise upon women oitizens of this state; that the legislature pass a law in conformity with our state constitution making it a felony for any county, oity or state officer to accept or use a railroad or other transportation pass, and that the law shall also be applicable to those who offer such passes, and we condemn all city, county and state officers who may have accepted and need such passes at betraying the trust reposed in them by the party and as violative of their duties as oitizens. . "We condemn the ohief executive ot this state for hli ill considered and un juBt vetoes of the deficiency judgment bill and the free text book bill, after having recommended it in bis former message" . ;', ; Free Silver Platform. "We believe that the widespread prostration of our industries, the de cline in agriculture, the embarrassment of our commerce and the ever-inoreas ing distress of all our producers, the conditioni and existence of which is admitted by all, are directly traceable to a contraction of the currenoy result ing from the demonetization of silver, and we demand the immediate restora tion of silver by a law requiring its free, un'imited and independent oolu age at the present legal ration of 16 to 1 at our mints. We call the attention of the publio to the fact that the people of the United States produce and oon' tume of all the important producti of industry more than one-half at much at all the balance of the earth com bined; that the tonnaue of our rail' roads exoeeds by 60,000,000 tons an Fifteen Parsons Killed and Utbara Mora or Less Injured. Selma. Ala., Aug. 18. Newt wat re oeived here today from Augustine, Perry oounty, fourteen miles from a telegraph station, that a terrible 'and most destructive tornado swept over that place last evening, leveling every thing in its path. Twelve negroes and three white people were killed by houses falling in on them, and ten other persons were more or leu injured Twenty-four horses and mules were crushed to desth by falling barns. The tornado was followed by the heaviest rain that has fallen in that section in fifteen vears. Croeks and branches were converted into raging torrents, sweeping away cotton, corn and other orops, oausing heavy losses to planters. DARING TRAIN ROBBERY.
