Seventeen People Killed and Fifty Injured In a Collision. Seventeen people were killed and about fifty injured in a collision which occurred at Midvale, N. J., just before noon Sunday, when a regular passenger train, on the Greenwood Lake branch of the Erie railroad, ran into an excursion train that had been stopped to take water. All the dead and injured lived in Hoboken, Jersey City and New York. The accident is believed to have resulted from a tower operator having towered his signal too soon. It is said that the engineer of the regular train had slowed down to about ten miles an hour before he crashed into the special, but his engine tore through the rear car and drove the forward end of that car into the car ahead. The killed and injured were in these two cars. The wreckage did not catch fire, and the work of taking out the dead and maimed was accomplished quickly. BOLT FROM THE SKIES. Man Killed and Flock of Sheep Have Eyes Burned Out The body of Joseph L. Davis was brought to Boise Sunday. He was killed by a bolt of lightning Friday afternoon, near Quartzburg. Davis e Fears Jotin Bull and Uncle Samuel. M. Souvrin, manager of the SL Petersburg Novoe Vremya, in a leading article in that paper which is attracting much attention, declares that it is not Manchuria nor Korea for which Russia is fighting, but it is her future position in the far east, where covetous hands are stretched out, not only by Japan, but by the United States and Great Britain, which is' the cause of the American and English sympathy for Japan. Russia An Army of Ants. Because a temporary injunction has been issued at Houston, Tex., against ALTON B, the United States government restraining experts from bringing the ants into Texas to destroy boll weevils, four thousand Guatemalan ants are now tied up In a room in the St. Charles hotel at New Orleans. The creatures are in charge of Dr. O. F. Cook, who went to Guatemala especially to gather the ants, which are expected to drive every boll weevil from Texas back to the tropics. They are standing the change of climate remarkably well. PARKER.

We favor liberal appropriations for the care and Improvement of the of the country. When any waterways waterwav like the Mississippi river is of sufficient Importance to demand special aid of the government, such aid should be extended with a definite plan of continuous work until permanent Improvement Is secured.

We favor honesty in the public service, the enforcement of honesty In the public service, and to that end a thorough executive investigation of those departments of the government already known to teem with corruption, as well as other departments suspected of harboring corruption and punishment of ascertained corruptionists without fear or favor de-or regard to persons. The persistent and liberate refusal of both the senate and house of representatives to permit such suggestion to be made demonstrates that and only by a change In the executive comin the legislative departments can plete exposure, punishment and conviction be obtained. We condemn the action of the Republican party In congress In refusing to prohibit Its executive departments from entering Into contracts with convicted retrusts or unlawful combinations In one straint of interstate trade. We haveeconof the best methods of procuring omy and honesty in the public service, and that is to have public officials, from the occupant of the White House down to the lowest of them, return as nearly as may be to Jeffersonian simplicity of living.

Port Arthur Well Fortified. Three Frenchmen who arrived at Taku Saturday from Port Arthur, having come over on a Chinese junk, report that 30,000 soldiers and 10,000 marines compose the garrison of the Russsian stronghold, and that the Russians have mounted 700 guns on the heights north of Port Arthur. They say also that the Russian torpedo boat destroyer Lieutenant Buru-kohas made in all four trips from Port Arthur to Newchwang. Drinkers Had Strong Heads. Bismarck once related the following anecdote about wines: "Formerly, when wine was still cheap, everybody could both drink and stand more of it I remember the story of two men from the Rhine. They met together in the morning for a drink, and, on sitting down, one of them said to the other, in the dialect peculiar to the Rhine districts, This wine is good.' Toward sunset they got up and after emptying his last glass, the other one made answer, And it agrees with one, Will Punish Etzels Murderers. Minister Conger has cabled the state department that the Chinese government, after making a thorough investigation of the incident, has ordered the punishment of the officer and soldiers who fired on and killed LouU Etzel, the newspaper correspondent. In addition it has undertaken to pay an Indemnity of $25,000 Mexican, which sum will be turned over by the state department to the widow and mother of Etzel In Denver. and to other members of the Reject Trade Treaty With Germany. Minister Powell reports to the state department by cable from Port An British Royal Document of 1315. During the past few days there has passed into the hands of the vicar of Selby a document dated Jan. 25, 1315, the eighth year of Edward II, and is the granting of letters patent to Thomas do Acastre to convey land to the abbot of Selby, notwithstanding the statute of mortmain.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. BY WOMEN was in the mountains looking after some cattle and sheep they had there. A thunderstorm came up and lightning struck the pole of the tent in which Davis was sitting. It struck him in the neck and tore off all his clothes. The herder was out caring for a band of 200 bucks. A bolt of lightning fell among them, killing sixty-onand injuring many others. Some animals were left alive with their eyes burned out. The bolt seems to have been remarkable. Dead bucks were found fairly driven into the ground. When the herder returned to the tent he found Davis dead. o ; FLOGGED too. d possible We favor a revision and a gradual reduction of the tariff by the friends of the masses and for the commonwealth, and not by the friends of its abuses, its ex- tortions and us discriminations, keeping in view the ultimate end of "equality of f opportunities. burdens and equalitv and the executional purpose of raising a The supp4irt revenue bv taxation, of the federal government in all Its integrity and vinhtv. but in simplicity. e recognize that the gigantic trusts and combinations designed to enable capital to secure more than Its just share of the joint prooucts of capital and labor, and which have been fostered and promoted under Republican rule, are a menace to beneficial competition and an obstacle to permanent business prosperity. A private monopoly is indefensible and intolerable. Individual equality of opportunity and free competition are essential to a healthy and permanent commercial pros-or perity; and any trust, combination monopoly tending to destroy these by controlling production, restricting competition or fixing prices, should be prohibited and punished by law. We especially denounce rebates and discrimination by the transportation companies as the most potent agency in promoting and strengthening these unlawful conspiracies against trade. We demand an enlargement of the powers of the interstate commerce commission to the end that the traveling public and shippers of this country may have prompt and adequate relief for the abuses to which they are subjected to in the matter of transportations. We demand a strict enforcement of existing civil and criminal statutes against all such trusts, combinations and monopolies. and we demand the enactment of such further legislation as may be necessary to effectually suppress them. Anv trust or unlawful combination engaged in interstate commerce which is monopolizing any branch of business or production should not be permitted to transact business outside of the state of Its origin. Whenever it shall be established in any court of competent jurisdiction that such monopolization exists such prohibition should be enforced through comprehensive laws to be enacted on the subject. We congratulate our western citizens upon the passage of the measure known as the Newlands irrigation act for the irrigation and reclamation of arid lands of the west a measure framed by a Democrat. passed In the senate by a vote and passed in the house against the opposition of almost all the Republican leaders by a vote, the majority of which was Democratic. We call attention to this great Democratic measure, broad and comprehensive as it is, working automatically throughout all time without further action of congress, until the reclamation of all the lands in the arid west capable of reclamation --is accomplished, reserving the lands reclaimed for homeseekers in small tracts, and rigidly guarding against land monopoly, as an evidence of the policy of domestic development contemplated by the Democratic party, should it be placed in power. The Democracy, when entrusted with power, will construct the Panama canal speedily, honestly and economically, thereby giving to our pegple what Democrats have always contended for a canal, furnishing great shorter and cheaper lines of transportation and broader and less trammeled trade relations with the other peoples of the world. We pledge ourselves to insist upon the just and lawful protection of our citizens at home and abroad, and to use all proper measures to secure for them, whether native born or naturalized, and without distinction of race or creed the equal protection of laws and the enjoyment of all rights and privileges open to them under the covenants of our treaties of friendship and commerce; and if under existing treaties the right of travel and sojourn Is dented to American citizens or recognition is withheld from American passports by any countries on the ground of race or creed, to favor the beginning of negotiations with the governments of such countries to secure by treaty the removal of these unjust discriminations. We demand that all over the world a duly authenticated passport issued bv the government of the United States to an American citizen shall be proof of th fact that he is an American citizen and shall entitle him to the treatment due him as such. We favor the election of United States senators by the direct vote of the people. We favor the admission of the territories of Oklahoma and the Indian Territory. We also favor the immediate admission of Arizona and New Mexico as separate states, and a territorial government for Alaska and Porto Rico. We hold that the officials appointed to administer the government of any territory, as well as with the District of Alaska, should be bona tide residents of the territory or he dtstrict In which the duties are to he performed at the time of their appointment. We demand the extermination of polygamy within the Jurisdiction of the United States and the complete separation of church and state in political affairs. We denounce the ship subsidy bill recently passed by the United States senate as an iniquitous appropriation of public funds for private purpose and a wasteful. illogical and useless attempt to overcome by subsidy obstructions raised by Republican legislation to the growth and development of American commerce on the sea. We favor the upbuilding of a merchant marine without new or additional burdens upon the people and without bounties from the public treasury. We favor liberal trade arrangement with Canada and with the peoples of other countries where they can be entered into with benefit to American agriculture. manufactures, mining or commerce. We favor the malntenace of the Monroe doctrine in its full entirety. We favor the reduction of the army and of armv expenditure to the point historically demonstrated to be safe and suft: inter-ocean- of the act of coi.gresa which fixes th compensation , and allowance of miu-ta- rv officers-- . The Democratic party stands- committed to the principles of civil service reform, and we demand their honest, just and impartial enforcement. it We denounce th continuous enRepublican party for croachment upon the spirit and operation of civil service rules, whereby it has dispensed with examinations in the interest of favorites and employed all manner of devices to overreach and set aside the principles upon which the civil service was established. The race question has brought countless woes to this country. The calm wisdom of the American people should see to it that it brings no more. To revive the dead and hateful race and sectional animosities m anv part f our common country means confusion, distraction or homines and the reien!ng rf wounds North south, east now happilv healed. and west have recently stood together the walls of Pekin from of battle in line to the hills of Santiago, and as sharers common of a glorv and a common we should share fraternally the common burdens. We therefore deprecate and condemn the Rourboniike. selfish and narrow spirit of the recent Reat Chicago, which publican convention anew racial and facsought to kindle we tional strife, and appeal to the sober common sense and patriotic spirit of the American people. The existing Republican administration has been spasmodic, spectacular and arbitrary. It has made itself a satire upon the congress, the courts and upon the settled practices and usages of national and international law. It summoned the congress Into hasty and futile extra session and virtually adjourned it. leaving behind its flignt from Washington uncalled calendars and unaccomplished arbi-tran- lv des-tin- v. task.

A modest flower reared Its head. With petals white of silvery sheen No other blossom In the bed. As on the slender stem it swayed A dainty odor filled the air, And yet the flower was not content, E'en though so fragrant, sweet and fair. For Just across the garden path Were blooms of every shade and hue; None brighter, gayer could be found E'er wet by morn or evening dew. The rare pale flower sadly sighed, Only fo have one little glow Like all the lovely flowers I see. Would make me happier, I know. A sauev sunbeam heard the sigh. And gayly darting through the green. With fiery glance and heated breath Kissed the pale flower of silver sheas.
