Kansas City, July 6.—Following is a text of the platform as agreed upon by the oommittee on resolutions and adopted by the convention: We, the representatives of the Democratic party of the United States, assembled in national convention on the anniversary of the declaration of independence, do reaffirm our faith in that immortal proclamation of the inalienable rights of man and our allegienoe to the constitution framed in harmony therewith by the fathers of the republic. We hold with the United States supreme court that the declaration of independence is the spirit of our government, of which the constitution is the form and letter. We declare again that all governments instituted among men derive their just powers from the consent of the governed; that any government not based upon the consent of the governed is a tyranny; and that to impose upon any people a government of force is to substitute the methods of imperial ism for those of a republic. We hold that the constitution follows the flag, and denounce the doctrine that uu executive or congress de riving their existence and their powers from the constitution can ex ercise lawful authority beyond it, or in violation of it. We assert that no nation can long endure half republic and half empire, and we warn the American people that imperialism abroad will lead quickly and inevitably to despotism at home. Believing in these principles, we denounce the Porto Rica law, enacted by a Republican congress against the protest and opposition of the Democratic miuority as a bold and open violation of the nation’s organic law and a flagrant breach of good faith. It imposes upon the people of Porto Rico a government without their consent and taxation without representa tion. It dishonors the American people by repudiating a solemn pledge made in their behalf by the commanding general of our armv, w hich the Porto Ricans welcomed, to a peaceful and unresisted occu pation of their island. They have doomed to poverty und distress a people whose helplessness appeals with peculiar force to our justice and magnanimity. In this, the first act of its imperialistic program, the Republican party seeks to commit the United States to a colonial policy, inconsistent with Republican institutions and condemned by the supreme court in numerous decisions. We demand the prompt and honest fulfillment of our pledges to the Cuban people and the world that the United States has no disposition or intention to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or control over the island of Cuba, except for its pacificaiion. The war ended nearly two years ago, profound peace reigns over all the island, and still the ad ministration keeps the government of the island from its people, while the Republican carpet bag officials plunder its revenues and ex ploit the colonial theory to the disgrace of the American people. PHILIPPINES POLICY DENOUNCED. We condemn and denounce the Philippines policy of the present administration. It has involved the republic uunecessarially in war, sacrificed the lives of many of our noblest sons and placed the United States, previously known and applauded throughout the world as the champion of freedom, in the false and un-American position of crush ing, with military force, the efforts of our former allies to achieve lib erty and self-government. The Filipinos cannot be citizens without endangering our civilization; they cannot be subjects without imper iling our form of government, and as we are not willing to surrender our civilization or controvert the republic into an empire, we favor an immediate declaration of the nation’s purpose to give the Filipinos, first, a stable form of government; second, independence, and, third, protection from outside interference, such as has been given for near ly a century to the republics of Central and South America. The greedy commercialism which dictated ihe Philippines policy of the Republican administration attempts to justify it with the plea that it will pay, but even this sordid and unworthy plea fails when brought' to the test of facts. The war of criminal aggression against the Fil ipinos, entailing an annual expenditure of many millions, has already cost more than any possible profit that could accrue from the entire Filipino trade for years to come. Furthermore, when trade is extend ed at the expense of liberty the price is always too high. DEMOCRACY’S VIEWS ON EXPANSION QUESTION. We are not opposed to territorial expansion when it takes in de sirable territory which can be erected into states in the union and whose people are willing and fit to become American citizens. We fa vor trade expansion by every peaceful and legitimate means, but we are unalterably opposed to the seizing or purchasing of distant islands to be governed outside the constitution and whose people can Dover become citizens. We are in favor of extending the republic’s influ ence among the nations, but believe that influence should be extend ed, not by force and violence, but through the persuasive power of a high and honorable example. The importance of other questions now pending before the American people is in no wise diminished, and the Democratic party takes no backward step from its position on them, but the burning issue of imperialism, growing out of the Spanish war, involves the very existence of the republic and the destruction of our free institutions. We regard it as the paramount issue of the campaign. INSIST ON MAINTENANCE OF MONROE DOCTRINE. The declaration of the Republican platform adopted at the Phila delphia convention held in June, 1900, that the Republican party “steadfastly adhered to the policy announced in the Monroe doctrine” is manifestly insincere and deceptive. This profession is contradicted bv the avowed policy of that party in opposition to the spirit of the Monroe doctrine to acquire and hold sovereignty over large areas of territory and large numbers of people in the eastern hemisphere. We insist on the strict maintenance of the Monroe doctrine and in all its integrity, both in letter and in spirit, as necessary to prevent the ex tension of European authority on this continent and essential to our supremacy in American affairs. At the same time we declare that no American principle shall ever be held by force in unwilling subjec tion to European authority. OPPOSED TO LARGE STANDING ARMY. We oppose militarism. It means conquest abroad and intimida tion and oppression at home. It means the strong army, which has ever been fatal to free institutions. It is what millions of our citi zens have fled from in Europe. It will impose upon our peace-loving people a large standing army, an unnecessary burden of taxation and a constant menace to their liberties. A small standing army and a well disciplined state militia are amply sufficient in time of peace. This republic has no place for a vast military service and conscription. When the nation is in danger the volunteer soldier is his country’s best defender. The national guard of the United States should ever be cherished in the patriotic hearts of a free people. Such organiza tions are ever an element of strength and safety For the first time in our history and 00-evil with the Philippines conquest, has there been a wholesale departure from our time-honored and approved sys tem of volunteer organization. We denounce it as un-American, un democratic and uurepublican, and as a subversion of the ancient and fixed principles of a free people. WARFARE ON THE TRUSTS. Private monopolies are indefensible and intolerable. They de stroy competition, control the price of all materials and of the finish ed product, thus robbing both producer and consumer. They lessen the employment of labor and arbitrarily fix the terms and condi tions thereof, and deprive individual energy and small capital of their opportunity for betterment. They are the most efficient means yet devised for appropriating the fruits of industry to the behefit of the few at the expense of the many, and unless their insatiate greed is checked, ail wealth will bo aggre gated in a few hands and the republic destroyed. The dishonest pal tering with the trust evil by the Republican party in state and na tional platforms is conclusive proof of the truth of the charge that trusts are the legitimate product of Republican policies; that they are fostered by Republican laws, and that they are protected by the Republican administration in return for campaign subscriptions and political support. We pledge the Democratic party to an unceasing warfare, in nation, state and city, against private monopolies in any form. Existing laws against trusts must be enforced, and more strengent ones must, be enacted providing for publicity as to the affairs of corporations engaged in interstate commerce, and requiring all corporations to show, befere doing business outside of the state of their origin, that they have no water in their Btock, and that they have not attempted and” are not attempting to monopolize any branch of business or the production of any articles of merchandise, and the whole constitu tional power of congress over the mails and all modes of interstate commerce shall be exercised by the enactment of comprehensive laws upon the subject of trusts. Tariff laws should be amended bv putting the products of trusts upon the free list to prevent monopoly under the plea of protection. The failure of the present Republican administration, with an ab continueo no second page. t LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JULY 12. 1900. Ai the eastorn mail ovrr the Hf*Al*oar«l vii <lr*troy«<l in whioh thin Article whs published, ii is reproduced at the request of many of those who failed to net their papers for that week : POTASH STIRRED UP. A few weeks since, The News- Herald saw proper to puncture the cuticle of Potash Farrow, because of his efforts to effect a fusion be tween the negroes of Georgia and the remnants of the old Populist party, in the vain hope and expec tation of bringing about the same condition of affairs here that re sulted in a similar movement in North Carolina. Our reference to his career during the Bullock regime, when he and the whole gang of scalawags and carpet-bag gers with whom he was associated made themselves so odious to the white people of this Btate, evident ly “hit the spot,” as he has been filling the columns of the Pop-Re publican organs of the 9th district with filthy fulmiuatious against us, and a futile attempt to justify his conduct during that trying or deal to respectable Georgians. His principal defense seemß to be the statute of limitations, as he avers that the “intervening sum shine of a third of a century” should have shielded him from having his old record dug up, and the dirty linen that has been lying hid aw’ay for years “before many of those now at the helm of public affairs were born,” aired before the public afresh. True, it has been a long time since Bullock and his gang held sway in Georgia, and the white people were dominated by ignorant negroes, carpet-baggers and scala wags, like old Potash, who betray ed their race and kindred for a mess of pottage, but history has not been silent, and the infamy of those who were prominent actors in that wild saturnalia has been recorded on its everlasting pages, and will never be forgotten But this card of old Pot is a cu riosity. He does not attempt to deny that he and the whole Bul lock gang were odious to the peo ple of this state, and says that he would not have noticed what we said about him, “if his allusions to me were simply political,” but “dragging in my official character as Attorney-General of Georgia, charging that as a component part of Governor Bullock’s administra tion I made myself so odious” was a little more than endurable. As a matter of fact, The News- Herald did not mention that he was Bullock’s Attorney-General, nor refer to any of his official con duct, and all the stuff in his card about the correctness of his “opin ions” hasn’t the remotest connec tion with what we actually wrote about him. “As attorney-General, I was the adviser of Bullock and the State House officers.” Did he advise that the millions of fraudulent bonds issued by Bul lock’s direction, and which were afterwards repudiated by the state, should be “floated ?” Did he advise Bullock that his henchmen in the legislature should turn out the white Democrats,who had been fairly and honestly elect ed, and fill their places with igtio- rant and corrupt negroes ? Did he advise Bullock, when the white people had asserted their supremacy at the polls, and the carpet-baggers, scalawags and ne groes had been driven from the capitol, that it was a good time to flee the realm, and thus avoid the penalty of outraged law ? Was he the adviser of Fatty Harris, when he usurped the place of Speaker of the House of Repre sentatives,violated all parliament ary rules, and even refused to en tertain any motion made by the Democrats ? Did he advise Bullock that Fos ter Blodgett and Hotchkiss, who stole the whole of the income of the Western & Atlantic Railroad, were saints and worthy of all trust and confidence ? There is no ‘‘official record” of the tyranny, rottenness and cor ruption that prevailed at the state capitol during this crisis in Geor gia’s history, "and Old Pot can safely defy any one to “examine the records and point nut." his objectionable acts. The Georgians of that period are not all dead. Thousands of them ars in active life today, and the memory of those hateful times is still fresh in their minds, and time has not abat'd t heir contempt for the whole gang As long ns they keep silent, and make no ef fort to repeat the experiences of those days, decent people will tolorate them but "•lieu they at tempt again to direct public af fairs and re-iuaugurate similar conditions to those that existed “thirty odd years ago," they will receive the excoriation they so richly deserve. IS IT RIGHT FOR AN EDITOR TO RECOMMEND PATENT MEDICINES ? From Sylvan Valley New*, Hrevrad. N.C. “It may be a question whether the editor of a newspaper has the right to publioly recommend any of the various proprietary medi cines which flood the market, yet as a preventitive of suffering we feel it a duty to say a good word for Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera aud Diarrhoea Remedy. We have known aud used this medicine in our family for twenty years and have always found it reliable In many cases a dose of this remedy would save hourß of suffering while u physician is awaited. Wc do not believe in depending implicit ly on any medicine for a cure, but we do believe that if a bottle of Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy was kept on hand and adminis tered at the inception of an attack much suffering might be avoided, aud in very many cases the pres ence of a physician would not be required. At least this has been our experience during the past twenty years. ” For sale by Bag well Drug Co. Railrsads In China. It has been only a few years since the first railroad in China was built, in spite of the assertion of those solemn old liars who puse as Chinese historians and declare that their people had ralroads a thousaud years ago and destroyed them because they found that they were bad things. China, with u territory considerable larger than that of the United States, has a very small railway mileage yet. The prospect of more railway construction was one of the causes of the present popular outbreak against all foreigners. The Chinese masses have beeu inflamed by their priests and politicians with the idea that all innovations will tend to make the people mis erable, and they will resist with their lives every onward step of civilization. The Imperial Chinese railroad from Tien Tsin to Pekin is only 80 miles long. It was built and is still owned by English cap italists. Another railroad from Tien Tsin to Chen Chou is 287 miles long The Belgirus have built 80 miles of railroad from a point five miles out of Tien Tsin This, with a few short branch lines, brings the total railway mileage in China up to 495.—Atlanta Journal QUESTION ANSWERED. Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale of any medicine in the civilized world. Your mothers and grandmothers never thought of using anything else for Indiges tion or Billiousness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldsm heard of Appendeoitis, Nervous Prostration or Heart Failure, etc. They used August Flower to clean out the system and stop fermentation of undigested food, regulate the ac tion of the liver, stimulate the nervous and organic action of the system, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with headaches and other aches. You only need a few doses of Green's August Flower, in liquid form, to make you satisfied there is noth ing serious the matter with you. Sample bottles at Bagwell Drug Store. Lawrenceville, It. O.

Teachm’ Examination. There were seventy-seven teach ers thut stood the lust teachers’ examination in [this county. Thir ty-seven made licenses and forty faiHd. In Hall county, thirty-one secured licenses jaud twenty-nine failed. 11l Forsyth county, some who have held first grade licenses failed to make any license at all Therefore, it is seen tliar, the new county school commissioner of Gwinnett was not more rigid in grading the examination papers than the commissioners in other counties. In grading the examination pa pers, the benefit of the doubt about the correct answer to any question was given to the teacher, aud due oredit was given to the answers of those questions which may have different answers. Of the thirty-three white toach eas that received licenses, there were ten first grades, twelve second grades and eleven third grades. There were twenty coiored teach ers. Sixteen failed and four re ceived third grade licenses. Every member of the Board of Fducation and the couuto school commissioner deeply sympathize with those who failed to make any liconses, but there is no lawful pro vision whereby a teacher can be licensed when lie bus failed to make the requisite mark required by law.
