When the the convention’s work is

that “we come not as conquerors hut

to work to establish a colonial policy
and govern those peoplo ns subject
colonies.
Thoy were williug to grant all coal
ing stations, to make trade treaties and
form a eollition with us—wo to protect
them from foreign invasion. This
combine would have built np a strong
friendship, and we would have had
10,00’',000 friends to help ns in time of
need instead of 10,000.000 enomies. It
was a great national blunder to repu
diate their oiler and pursue the subju
gating policy of McKinley.
This smldon China war cxi>oses at
once McKinley ’s blunder. We missed
a national opportunity for Eastern
trado nud commercial expansion by re
fusing honorable settlement as to the
Philippines.
Long since peace had been trium
phant, and Manila would lmvo been
our hnso of operations in this Chinese
war. The blazing fire of Chinese war
reveals to ns onr weakness in tho Phil

wrong doing, from betrayal of repub

to ape monarchical eonutries in holding
people as vassals under the iron hand
of military rule.
What a Little Faith Did
FOR MRS. ROCKWELL.
[LETTER TO MRS. riKXHAM NO. 69,884]
“I was a £reat sufferer from female
weakness ami had no strength. It was
impossible for me to attend to my
household duties. I had tried every
thing and many doctors, but found no
relief.
“My sister advised me to try Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound,
which I did; before using ail of one
bottle I felt better. I kept on with it
aud to my great surprise I am cured.
All who suffer from female complaints
should give it a trial.”—-Mrs. Rock

Synopsis of the Leading Issues of the
Campaign.
K ansas City, July 0.—Following are
tho principal points of tho Democratic
platform;
R>‘affirmation of allegiance to the con«
stiturion.
Government not based on the consent
of the governed is tyranny.
Porto Rican law enacted by the Re
publican congress is denounced, as it
taxes, without representation, people
who were pledged to honest treatment.
Prompt fulfillment of our promises to
the Cuban people is demanded that tho
raid of tho carpet-buaggers may be cut
short.
Policy of tho present administration
In the Philippines is condemned aud de
nounced because it puts tho United
States in the false aud un-American po-
eitiou of crushing with military forco
tho efforts of former allies to achieve
liberty and self government.
Favors election of United States sena
tors by the peoplo.
OpjKisos government by injunction,
denounces the black list and favors ar
bitration.
Recommends that congress create a
department of labor in charge of a sec
retary with a seat in the cabinet.
Insists on the reduction anil speedy
repeal of the war taxes and a return to
tho time honored Democratic policy of
strict economy in governmental expend
itures.
Demands the continuance and strict
enforcement of tho Chinse exclusion
law and its application to the same classes
of all Asiatic races.
Favors the immediate construction,
ownership and contiol of tho Nicaragua
canal by the United States, and de
nounces the insincerity of the plank in
the national Republican platform for an
isthmian canal in the face of the failure
of tlie Republican party to pass the bill

Mind Deranged.
Gainesville, Ga., July 7. — W. S.
Johnsou, of Littleton, N.C., committed
suicide in the police station in this city
by hanging himself with a leather strap
taken from his valise.

La., where ho had been to secure his
brother, Andrew H. Johnson, whose
mind is temporarily deranged.
Johnson stated when arrested that a
mob had been pursuing him since he
left Louisiana nnd he jumped off the

Tien Tsin, Juno 25, via Che Foo,
July 1, and Sixanouai, July O.—Thoso
best informed in Tieu Tsin consider the
position of foreigners iu Peking os al
most hopeless. It is hopeless to attempt
to force the way with the forco avail
ablo. Commanders nre willing to resort
to desperate means, but to attempt a
forced march from Tien Tsin with the
forces at hand moans certain destruction
to tho army, besides slaughter of the
civilians left at Tieu Tsin. Rough sol
diers are necessary to defeat the Chineso
army, maintain communication with tho
bases of supplies and guard tho hospitals
enroute.
The water supply is an important prob
lem iu a country furnishing none from
the rivers. Tho wells havo all been pois
oned. The Chineso aro committing ter
rible atrocities upon tho wounded. They
aro mutilating all tho dead which fall
into their hands. General Tung Fuh
Sang, with 10,090 of the best disciplined
troops in the Chineso array, Mahomeds,
are marching from the southeast toward
Peking. The army thereabouts number
60,000.
Tho Mohammedans nud Boxers are
fighting in Peking. The forces of Gen
eral Nidi, in command of Tieu Tsin, are
said to have deserted and gouo to pillag
ing the country. The residents declare
that a Chiuese commune has been in
augurated and thut tho peaceable Chi
nese are the greatest sufferers Irom the
foreign soldiers, who uro burning the
outskirts of Tien Tsin to deprive the
enemy of shelter. Tho Boxers are de
stroying outlying villages for loot. The
smoke of 100 fires can bo seen iu every
direction.
Tien Tsin was not bombarded today
for tho first time in a fortnight. Fami
lies are returning to their homes within
the concessions. Women and children
will bo sent to Taku us soon as tho travel
is safe. No unfriendly Chinamen are
visible in tho streets. A few of tho
richest with their families aro huddled
in tho onthousi-s for protection, badly
frightened. Others concealed iu vari
ous houses shoot at the Europeans on
tlie streets.
Tho Chinese dead near Tien Tsin num

been killed lie unburied in tho fields.
