THE PLATFORM !VOT SATISFAC TORY. If Republican newspapers reflect Repub lican sentiment there is a good deal of dissatisfaction among Republican® with the platform adopted at Philadelph a. It is claimed that it is too long and that it lacks vigor. The criticism is a just one. The greater part of the platform is liken up with issues that were discussed in 1896 and with a statement of the great things the McKinley administration has accom plished. It is expected that the campaign will settle great issues. One is whether the re public shall hold fast to its moorings or shall drift in the direction of imperialism and militarism. Another is whether the movement to concentrate the wealth of the country in a few hands by means of trusts shall be checked by the . trong hand of the law. The utterance of the Republican platform in respect to bo h of these important matters is tame in the extreme. The declaration in regard to the Phil ippines—ihe declaration that bears upon imi>erialism—l® so non-committal that it is difficult to make out what the policy of the Republicans relative to those islands is. Apparently it is to retain possession of them, but there is no direct statement to that effect. In framing that plank the effort was to avoid saying anything to which Senator Hoar and other prominent Republicans who are averse to retaining the islands could t ike exception. There is the same sort of uncertainty in the declaration respecting trusts. Ac cording to it there are good trusts rnl bad trusts, and the bad trusts must b? suppressed, but who is to say which are the good and which the had? It has been suggested that one reason why the plat form is made up of words rather than ideas is that senators had tco much o do with making it. Indeed, senators were everywhere in evidence in the convention’s proceedings. If there had been fewer senators among the advisers in prominent positions it is probable that the platform would have been shorter, bolder, stronger and clearer. It would have left no doubt In the minds of the people as to wh.it the policies of the Republican party are. and it would have created the impression that the party was very much in earnest in its efforts to carry out its policies. The plat form is such a poor sort of an affair, how ever, that the Republican papers are ex pending their enthusiasm on the ticket. They are having very little to say in com mendation of the platform. TUB FM>HII>A TICKET. The ticket nominated by the Democrats of FI rida app ars to give a great deal cf satisfaction in that state. The contest for the nomination for Governor was a long and hard fought one. owing proba hly to the fact that all of the candidates were worthy men, any one of whom would make the state a first-class chief execu tive. The choice fell upon Mr. William S. Jennings of Hernando county. He is a young man who has raised himself to his I resent high position by his own efforts. His Intellectual ability and his moral worth long ago brought him prominent ly before the public. The people watched his career and decid.d that he was a man who would render a good account of him self in a place of honor and responsibility. The fact that he was not a native of the sta'e made no difference to them. Avery large percentage of the people of Florida is from other states. The place of a man’s birth docs not cut much of a figure in that state. The people there are always rtady to honor a man who Is worthy of bring honored. Those who know Mr. Jennings well are sure that he wl 1 make an excellent Gov ernor. lie has the abil ty and strength of character to fill the place worthily and accef tably, and there Is no doubt that he will do It. Nearly all of the present state officers were renominated They had made go and records, ar.d the convention saw no rea son for making a change. A pretty hard tight was made on the Superintendent of Public Instruction, but he had friends enough to enable him to overcome the opposition. From all accounts he has made a fine record as an official, but has been a little too radical in some of the reforms he has made to suit every body. The people recognize, however, that he is a very earnest and conscientious official. It Is doubtful if it would be an easy matter to get a more satisfactory official for the position he fills. The ticket will of course be e’ectfd Th people know now who their next Gov ernor, justice of the Supreme Court and slate house officers will be. MISSION SHIFTS CRITICISED. If Fome of the stories told of the want of judgment on the part of our mission aries in China are correct, the Chinese have a good deal to put up with! Of course there Is a probability that these stories are exaggerated. Still, they un doubtedly have eome foundation. For instance. Earnest De Bavier, an ex porter of Chinese goods, who arrived in New* York city a few days ago, gays that the Chinese hove a great deal of Justice in their hatred for foreigners, and they are not Influenced in their hatred by re ligion. They don’t care enough about the souls of their neighbors to bother them selves about religion. The trouble be tween the natives and foreigners very fre quently grows out of civil privileges, which are obtained through foreigners, chiefly missionaries. Mr. Deßavier says that it often happens that the local mandarin Imposes very heavy tax*a upon the people. The heath en Chinese pay without murmuring, but the Christian Chinese run to their mission aries ami declare that they are being un duly oppressed. The missionaries, Instead of t.iking the matter up with the manda rin, write to their respective mlnlsti r at Pekin, and the ministers Immediut 1> ek an audience with the mender .f the v ♦ rnment having charge of such mailers. The Pekin government, rather than hpve trouble with a foreign government, orders the mandarin to remit the taxes. The re sult is that there is brought about a bit ter feeling between the Christian and the heathen Chinese, and this feeling on the part of the heathen Chinese is transferred to the foreigners, who are really to blame for meddling with matters with which they have tip concern. If the truth could be obtained. It would appear, doubtless, that unintentionally the missionaries are ttie cause of a great deal of the antl-forelgn feeling in Chit¥i- Tin* Chinese are disposed to be Just and to treat foreigners fairly. Foreigners, hold ing them in contempt on account of their weakness, no doubt often impose them. It is not to be wondered at, there fore, that they arc beginning to show hos tility to foreigners. The Republican candidate for Vice Pres ident Is better known for his teeth and his spectacles than for anythin* else. THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY,’ JUNE 24, 1900. the si hf ii\Tiini<; srasov The surf bathing season in this section is now fairly open and in its prime. The southerly winds which have prevailed for the past two weeks have brought the warm waters of the Gulf Stream close ! enough inshore to give just the right temper to the water of the Southern bathing places. The Northern resorts, from Atlantic City up, must wait awhile for the Gulf Stfeam to raise their tem perature. The cold Nantucket surface current Is still making itself felt in that section. But the genial stream from the Gulf is gradually getting in its good work, and within a week or two there will he good bathing from Cape Cod to the Flor ida reefs. At Tybee, meantime, the conditions are at Iheir best, and will remain so for two months, with the exception of possible period® of storm or high wind; and every day is witnessing large numbers of bath ers disporting themselves in the heaving brine. While surf bathing is a “good thing,” from the standpoints of both hygiene and pastime, it should be indulged in intelli gently, otherwise uncomfortable results are ant to follow', especially with those who habitually lead moro or leas sedentary lives. The salt water bath is a stimulant to the system, but. like other stimulant*, it may be indulged in until.a reaction oc curs. One should never stay in the surf long enough to become exhausted. Fc-ver sometimes follows, exhaustion from a too extended surf bath; especially where the bather has gone into the water bare headed. If there chance® to be much sea running, surf batning is rather stren uous exercise. One has to keep hustling all of the time to avoid being ducked by the waves. An hour or two of such constant movement means the expendi ture of a great amount of energy. The effect upon those who ordinarily take lit tle exercise, is to make the muscles and joint® tore the* day following the bath. The way to avoid such soreness, is to take resting spells at frequent intervals. Tak ing care to avoids too much exercise in the salt water will often avert an annoy ing headache. Many bathers suffer more or less dis comfort from getting water into their ears. That may be avoided in a very sim ple manner. Stuff a email piece of clean wool—cotton will not and the ears before entering the surf. The wool will keep every drop of water out without interfering with the hearing. One need not be. squeamish about swallowing a small quantity* of ®alt water. It will do no harm, and may do good. Too liberal gulps of it will, of course, cause nausea. But bathers generally are wise enough to keep their mouths shut, and thus avoid taking in too much. That is one thing ♦ bat novice® quickly learn. Observe three don’t®—Don’t 'take too much exercise, don’t stay in too long, and don’t fall to come out at once if you get cold in Ihe water—and the surf bath will prove a delight and a l>enefit. A TUI ST IN HEARTS. A combination in restraint of unlimited competition which neither of .ihe great parties will oppose has been formed in Massachusetts. It is a trust of summer girls, for the protection of hearts. In heriting hard-headed, close trading methods from their fathers, these Mas sachuetts girls desire and intend to bring summer courting down to a strictly busi ness basis. They have grown tired of wasting valuable time on men who are flippant or unworthy. When a girl has arrived at the marriageable age, each season counts, and several seasons wast ed means a whole lot. It has been known, time and time again, that young men have gone for their vacation to the sea shore or other watering place, and pro ceeded forthwith to make love to the prettiest gjrls that would permit them to do so, without meaning a word sakl. Again, there are gay married men who, leaving wives and babies at home, pass themselves off to the summer girls as bachelors and make ardent love. In stances are not wanting in which such bad, bad married men have won the af fections of summer girls, only to break their hearts. It is possibly true that some of the summer girls ore as flippant and fond of flirtation as any of the men. But that Is another story altogether. It is a woman’s privilege to be a coquette. It Ifen’t a man’s. In order to checkmate the male flirts— to separate the sheep from <he goats, and to get a love-knotted blue ribbon about the neck of the sheep at the earli est possible moment—the girls of Ply mouth, Plympton, Kensington. Seaside and other Massachusetts resorts, have organized for mutual protection. They have elected officers, and constituted the whole membership of the organization one big investigating committee to inquire into the antecedents of every swain who dares to whisper sweet nothings into the cars of any of the sisterhood. As soon as a member of the order receives atten tions from a man who is a Stranger in the community, she will report the mat ter to the full body, which will hold fre quent meetings. Upon such report being made the investigators will at once be gin their detective work. If the man has ever betn engaged before, if he has ever been engaged to two girls at the same, time, if his record shows that he is a trifler, if ho drinks, swears, smokes cigar ettes, gambles, or is addicted to any of the other vices, the f.i will quickly be laid before th obj his atten tions. If he i > man :* i m.m playing off single the fact will quickly be discov ered and his exposure will follow at once. It is predicted that the combination will be able to weed out the flippant and Ihe fraudulent beaux almost ns fast as they come to the front. Those men who are really eligible and desirable, and who mean business, will find the trust their good friend and advocate. But all triflora had better beware. The Massachusetts Heart Trust is out for business. The St. I.ouis custom of stripping wo men on the streets, It so ms, is lx ing adopted by s rikers in other cities. Ther is a stiike of c gar makers and laundry workers In Dayton, O. The other day two or three women by sum means or other offended the strikers.

Cornwalli.-Wost is an nounced, to take place in July. The lady, who Is the daughter of the late Leonard Jerome of Now York, has two grown sons, one of whom, Winston Spencer Churchill, is 28 years old—the same age as young Cornwallis-West, who is to be come his step-father. A young ambulance physician of New York has discovered anew remedy for the deadly coma which sometimes attends al coholism. John O’Connor was picked up in the street in a pretty bad condition and taken to the “D. T.” ward of the Harlem Hospital. Shortly after arriving at the hospital his body became rigid and he lapsed into unconsciousness. The physician tried Everything he knew to restore the patient’s reason. He even subjected him to ten minutes of torture, which was borne without a flinch. In des peration the doctor shouted into the man’s ear, “You’re an Orangeman. You’re worse than that;, you're an A. P. A!” Immedi ately O’Connor was alive and active. “The mon that says that is a dom’d loir, and Oi chn lick him wud won hand!” he shouted as he sprang from the couch and made a vicious lunge at the jaw of the physician. The physician escaped, but O’Connor wrenched a post from the couch and was waiting for him when he was disarmed by officers. According to. the New York Sun, the Jews are taking the lead in the public schools and free colleges of that city. In a recent article it said: “Of 640 girls who passed successfully the examinations for admission to the Normal College this month, the great majority are Jews. More than five sixths of the W'hole number came from the public schools, of which for many years past the best scholars have been of that race chiefly. “Of about 800 graduates from the public .schools admited to the free city college for boys, the tfast majority also are of Jewish race, the proportionate number of other races being even smaller than among the girls admitted to <he Normal College.” It naturally follows from this condition of affairs that the supply of teachers and for the professions that is coming from the Jewish race is steadily increasing. Admiral Seymour, who is leading the allied forces to Pekin, was in command of ♦he British fleet in harbor of Ma nila at the time it was alleged there were strained relations between Admiral Dewey and Admiral von Diederich. The Ger man Admiral, according to a story that was circulated nt the time, inquired what would be the consequence if he interfered with Dewey’s operations, to which Ad miral Seymour is alleged to have replied, “Only Dewey and I know that.” The probabilities are that the incident never occurred, but many people believe it did, which has had the effect of making Ad miral Seymour very well thought of in this country. If it is true that there has been a great disaster to the wheat crop, and ♦ hat the yield will fall far below that of last year, we shall probably see dol lar wheat or better before a great while. Now, will the Republican party accept the responsibility for the drought and other causes of crop failure, as well as claim credit for the higher prices which it is to be expected the short crop will bring? “Tien Tsin” means “Heavenly City,” or “Celestial City.” If tho reports from that quarter during the last few days are half true, it must lately have been just ♦he opposite of a heavenly abode.

Two rcoms had been fitted up luxuriously for them, but the accommodations failed to tempt others than S. nator Depew, who kept the attendants busy in supplying the wants of his omniverous researches. ( I It It ENT COMMENT. The New Y’ork Evening Post (lnd.) says. “Amnesty for the Filipinos who have resisted our forces is shrewdly timed so that the proclamation may appear simul taneously with the Republican national platform. As the resolution on the Phil ippine question which was adopted at Philadelphia yesterday, represents a long backdown from the position which the ardent Imperialists have occupied as to the character of our rule in those islands, so is the offer of amnesty to those who have been lighting our troops a very dif ferent policy from the programme of re lentless pursuit cf rebels which was origi nally outlined. It is a good thing, how ever, that the administration has now done; and the issue of the proclamation is cause for congratulation. What every right-minded man wants most of ali is a cessation of the fighting, and it seems only reasonable to expect that the offer of clemency now made will help much to bring about this result.” The Richmond Dispatch (Dem.) says: “In nominating McKinley, the party in dorsed Ills administration. Hence it In dorsed imperialism, and cut iiself loose entirely from Republican institutions, as shaped by the fathers. However lacking the platform may he in presenting issue*. McKinley s nomination squarely commu te I his party to an impe rialistic policy Roosevelt has been most outspoken in sympathy with that policy, and in coupling aim up with McKinley for the race in No vember the party but emphasized the fact that imperialism is i;s final goal. So we say that the ticket throws down the gauntlet with double- vehemence as to a question on which hinges the life of our system. What are the Democracy going to do about it? Kansas City must tell.” The Philadelphia Record (Dem.) save “It has been announced from Paris that the eighteen United {■bates Commissioners to the French Exposition are to he pre sented to-day to President Loubet by Am bassador Porter. These eighteen men '.'taw $3,000 a year each from our publi • reawury, with nothing ar all to do to earn th** money. Their introduction to th* executive of the French republic may wrvo, at the least, to remind him that a nation may l>e made ridiculous, in addi tion to being scandalized, by heedless ex travagance.” The Baltimore Sun (Dem.) says: “Han na and Platt and Quay cannot hide behind Roosevelt. His vaunted independence and antipathy to bosslsm cannot save th.* country from the evils of Hannnism. Th.* bosses would reign a* long as McKinley lived, and Roosevelt, in the seclusion of the Filiate Chumlx r. would be quietly ig norod by the Powers greater than the throne which fidininimcr thi government at Washington." An KloqnjMit Tribute to Helen Gonld. I will not attempt to specify the num erous projects of charity that have been given life and vigor by Miss Gould, writes Congressman Charles B. Landis in Suc cess. I know her gifts in recent years have passed the mlllion-dollar mark. Would you have an idea of her person ality? If so, think of a good young woman in your own town, who loves her parents and her home; who is devoted to the church; who thinks of the poor on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas; whose face is bright and manner unaffected; whose dress is elegant in its simplicity; who takes an interest in all things, from politics to religion; whom children love and day-laborers greet by reverently lifting the hat; and who, if she were grad uated from a home seminary or college, would receive a bouquet from every boy in town. If you can think of such a young woman, and nearly every com munity has one (and ninety-nine times out of a hundred she is poor), you have a fair idea of the impression made on a plain man from a country town in In diana by Miss Gould. Helen Miller Gould is jus< at the thresh old of her beautiful career. What a promise is there in her life and work for the coming century! She has pledged her fortune for a Hall of Fame on the campus of the New York University, overlooking the Harlem river. It will have tablets for the names of fifty distinguished Americans, and proud will be the descendants of those whose names are inscribed thereon. The human heart is the tablet upon which Miss Gould has inscribed her name, a lit l her “Hall of Fame” is as broad and high as the republic itself. Wan in the Business. It was on a Seventh street car, says the Washington Post, that a well-dressed man carried his hand to his jaw now and ♦ hen and uttered a stifled groan. After a bit a fellow passenger had his curios ity aroused and brusquely queried: Toothache?” “Yes.” “I’ve been there and know all abou< it. If she's holler and has the jumps it ain’t no use fooling around. What you want to do is to go to a dentist.” “Um! Jerusha. but how it ache®!” “Go right to the dentist and have It yanked out. Man with the toothache always feels a little scared about having it yanked, but that's all imagination, you know.” “I’d rather be sho<”' groaned the suf ferer. “Oh. pshaw! Go to some dentist who gives laughing gas. He’ll give you gas and take the tooth out without your knowing it. I pledge you my word that it won't hurt any more than paring off a finger nail.” “Um! What a liar! G’way from me!” “Why, man, I pledge you my word that you'll never ” “Don’t talk to me! I know all about it! I’ve been a dentist myself for the last fifteen years.” “Oh, you have!” growled the other, as he backed away. “Well, that’s differ ent. It will not only seem to you as if your blamed old head was being pulled off your shoulders, but your jaw will ache two weeks after, and I’m durned glad of it, too.” Finally Conquered.

The laziest man in North America dis covered himself the other evening in the swell bachelor apartments, not far frem Lafayette Square, where he live*, says the Washington Post. He was lying cn a couch in his lounging-room. sm king a cigar, when the clear went out. That is to say, the Are at the end of the cigar de parted. The man raised himself on one arm with great effort, and snapped the messenger call that was instilled ov*r the couch. Then he reclined and waited After about ten minutes there was a knock at the door, and u messenger boy entered. “D’jou ring, sir?” asked the boy. “Yes, son.” said the laziest man in the Western hemisphere. “Just gimme a match off that table there, will you?” The boy handed the man on the couch a a match and waited. The man relighted his cigar and smoked on. “D’jou want me to go somewhere, sir?” asked the boy, fidgeting. “No, that’s all," said the man. “Take that half-dollar off the table." Then the boy went out grinning. That man ought to be on some govern ment “commission” to investigate some thing somewhere. King Oscar and the Mermaid. The King of Sweden is said by those who know him to be a truly delightful man. says the New York Commercial. Emphati cally a man of peace in his own land, he labors to unite the hearts of the Swedes aid Norwegians; abroad, ho is on a holi day and enjoys himself with all the zest of a schoolboy. When r.t Biarritz the King used to bathe daily, and his royal form, clad in a close tilting bathing suit, used to be ushered to the water by his chamberlain, his private 4e.retar> and his gentleman in waiting. Once, as he was stepping on to the long planked incline which led bathers into the sea, a pretty Irish girl tripped out of her o oin Just in front, joeing the King, sne hesitated and would have stepped back But tli*.* courtly sovereign said: “I hop* In ay have the pleasure of attending you to the water," and followed in her wake.

I am pleased to say that sol diers are cleaner in their habits than our generous friends give ♦hem credit for. and I can answer for it that all the old pipes sent out here have ended their days in the camp fire.

J. Danysz of the Pasteur Institute of Paris. This scientist has found a microbe which will produce a deadly pestilence when intro duced into a population of rats and cause their annihilation, or ot least make them a negligible quantity. The bacillus in question was derived from field-mice suf fering from a spontaneous epidemic dis ease, and by elaborate processes of re peated cultures was transmitted through a series of mice end rats. In this way its virulence was increased, and it was found surely pathogenic for the rats when eaten. In addition to the experiments in the laboratory, trials were made in n large number of farms, worehouses, and other places infested by rats. It is r 4. ported that in 50 per cent, of the experi ments, there was a complete disappearance of the rats, that in 50 per cent, their num* her greatly decreased, while in 20 per cent, the method failed. —The Chlnaberry tree is being discussed for its possible commercial value, which seems to be of the first order.
