FOOD FOR FINGERS 'Fashion Prohibits ne UM ?I Forks For Vtrtaia Articles. . There have always been certain af* [fieles of rood for which the use of 'forks, etc., (termed superfluous, and for which fashion permitted the use of Ang lers, even In the most particular dining, naya tin; Hos mn H erald. Occasionally new dishes are added te tile list to ft-blch the old-time expression applies '-"fingers were made before "orks" and lt is generally understood that. In spite of the ever-multiplying variety of fork/!, tongs and spoons for use Avlih every conceivable object on tuc table, there are certain edible? which It,lg far better to eat with the ringers. ; While a few independent people dare pet aside the fashionable proprieties, ?nany others will do as they know they ?re expected. As a rule, sugar tongs ?Ve passed with block sugar, but, as a ?Huer out once said. "1 prefer to use my fingers, for if rou are not just so careful lt drops with a splurge, which ls eery humiliating." Olives should be eaten with thc lingers; any attempt to use a fork is foolish. When passed they should de dipped out with the spadelike spoon accompanying, then dropped on tho bread and butter plate aud carried to ike month with th? thumb and fore finger. Bread, toast and all kinds of small cakes should he talceu in the lingers, ns well as cheese, though some very particular people u$i? a fork with the latter. At the most fashionable luncheons high-bred dames may be seeu taking the leg or small pieces of a bird in their fingers, thongh this is one of the dis puted points, lt will be noticed usual ly thal those who ita ve always "been accustomed to good society are not so afraid to use their Augers as those who fear to do something improper. j**1-"- Ben's Bright Idea.

Tnt 16 lo I Plank Endorsed Without M dillcation- th: Republican For? tilt* Vofcey Denounced. Following ls the official lexi fcf ?h? platform as agreed upon by the com mittee on r^olutions and presented to th? convention: We, the representatives of the Dem ocratic party of the United States, ?*T sembled in national tftnve&ti?'?, bh th? anniversary Of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, do reaf firm our faith in that Immortal prpclar mat ion of the inalienable rights of man and mir allegiance to the consti tution frUlped in harmony therewith by the fathers of the republic. We hold with the United States Supremo Court, that the Declaration ot Inde pendence Is the spirit of our govern ment, of which the constitution is th? form and letter. We ???clare again that all governments instituted among men derive their just powers from tho consent of the governed; that any gov ernment not based upon the consent of the governed ls a tyranny; abd thal to impose upon any people ? govern ment of fort]? ls to substitute the methods of imperialism for those cf a republic. We hold tba?, tfc'e constitu tion ollows th? flag and denounce the doctrine that an executive or Con Cress, deriving their existence and their powers from the constitution, can exercise lawful authority beyond it, or in violation cf lt. We assert that no nation can long endure half rvrUib Uc and half empire, and V*? warn the American peeplQ that imperialism abroad xviii lead quickly and inevit ably to despotism at home. PORTO RICAN LAW DENOUNCED, Believing In these fundamental prin ciples, we denounce the Porta hica'd law enacted by a Republican Congress, against the protest and opposition ot the Democratic minority, as a bold and Open violation of the nation's organic law, and a flagrant breach af the na tional good faith, ll Imposes upon.the people ot. Porto ft i co a government without- their consent, and taxation without representation. It dishonors the American people by repudiating a selemn pledge made in their behalf bj? the commanding general of Our ?rhiy} which-the Porto Rican? welc?irvi as "S peaceful and unresisted occupation of their Innt?. It dooms to poverty and distress a people whose helplessness appeals with peculiar force to our jus tice ima magnanimity. In thin tbi? tlrtt I publican platform adopted at the pifll adelphia convention held in June 1900 that the R?publicain party "steadfastly adheres to the policy an no uri ced in the Monro* dbcWne," is manifestly Insin tferfe aha 'deceptive. This profession is contradicted hy the avowed policy of that party in opposition to the spirty of the Monroe doctrine to acquire, and hold BOVereigtltjr over large areas of territory and iar&e numbers .bf people \'? th? Easfer?i Hemisphere. We insist tm the strict maintenance of the Mon roe doctrine iii all its* integrity, both in letter and in spirit, as necessary to prevent the extension of European j authority nh this continent and as es- j sfehti'?) tb pur supremacy in American affairs; At the same time, we declare j that no American people shall ever be j held by force in unwilling subjection to European authority. We oppose militarism.. It means conquest abroad ant*. Itttifiiiuati?? aha oppression ht home. It means th? means the strong arm which has ever been fatal to fre ; institutions. It is what millions of ? ar cUirens h?ve fled from in Rur C?. lt will impose upon bur Peace-loving people a large stand, lng army and unnecessary burden of ' taxation and constant menace to their liberties.

Ihfe nat iou ls in danger tho Volunteer soldier ?is his country's best defender. The National Guard of the United Statea should ever he cherished in the patriotic hearts of a free people. Such organisations are ever an element of strengt and saicey. l?or the first time in our histor}' and coeval willi the Philippi ?fe conquest, there has been kn unwholesome departure from the; time-honored and approved systems of volunteer organization. V*'e denounce it aa Ufi-Ainerican, undemocratic and unrepublican and as a subversion of the ancien), and fixed principles of a Cree people REPUBLICANS RESPONSIBLE* Poft THE TRUSTS; private mohoppiies ?re ihdefetislbl? and intolerable. They destroy c?mpetl tldn, control the price of raw materi als and finished product, thus robbing both producer and consumer. They j lessen the employment cf labor and ar bitrarily f?x the terms and conditions ! thereof, and deprive individual energy and Small ???ltal bf" their opportunity fer betterment; They are the most ef ficient meaas yet devised for appropri ating the traits of industry to the ben efit of the few at the expense of the many and unless their Insatiate greed ls ch?ckfe? all wealth will be aggregat ed in a few hands and the requblic de stroyed. The dishonest paltering with the trust evils by the Republican party in State aord National platforms is cou-, elusive proof of the trott, of the charga that trust* are legitimate product of Republican policies, that they are fos. bred by. Republican laws and that they are protected by the Republican admin istration in return for campaign sub scriptions and political ?aupport. ! WAR DECLARED ON MONOPOLIES We plertge the Democratic party tc nh uiirpij.lnu warfare in nation, Stat? Unit i ll v scaln?l' |irlv?to nuMiopoIy in ?asm ? and their employes. In the interest ot American labor and the uplifting of the .ftorkinginetl; a? the corner-stone bf the prosperity bf our country, we t-ecbmmend i Sat Congress create ? Department bf Labor In charge of 4 Secretary; tflth a fceat, iii the cabinet; Relieving tha.t the elevation or thcf American laborer will bring increased prosperity to our country at home and j bur .commerce abroad. We are proud bf the courage and fidelity of the American soldiers and sailors in all ? bur wars; wi; favor liberal pensions; and we reiterate the positlo^aken id the. Chicago platform in 1896, that the fact of enlistment and service shall be deemed conclusive evidence against disease and disability before enlist ment. NICARAGUAN CANAL. We favor the immediate construc tion, ownership and control of the Klcar?gu?ti Curial by fhe United States and we denounce the insincerity of the plank in the hatiodal Republican platform for an isthmian canal in the face of the failure of the Republican majority to pass the bill pending in I Congress. W?? condemji the Hay Pauncefote treaty as a surrender of American rights and interests not to be tolerated, by the American people. MMEDIATB STATEHOOD PROM ISED. We denounce the failure of the Re publican party to carry out its pledges jo grant statehood to the Territories )f Arizona, New Mexico and Oklaho ma, and we promise the people of these Territories immediate statehood md hom* rule and a territorial form >f government for Alaska and Porto Rico. We favor ad intelligent system 5f improving the arid lands of the West, storing the waters for purposes )f irregation and the holding of suck ands for ac?ia! settlers. NO ENTANGLING ALLIANCES. We favor the continuance and strict inforcenient bf the Chinese exclusion law and Its application to the same classes bf ali Asiatic races. Jefferson said.: "Peace, commerce aiid honest !rlendship with all nations; entang ling alliances" with none." We approve this wholesome doctrine and earnestly protest" against the Republican depart ure which has Involved us in so-called world politics, including the diplomacy Of Europe and the intrigues and land grabbing of Asia, and we especially condemn the Ull-cortcealed Republican alliance with England, which must mean discrimination against other friendly nations, and which has al ready stifled the nation's voice, while liberty is being strangled in Africa. Believing in the principles of self-gov ernment, and rejecting, as did our fore fathers, the claim of monarchy, we view with indignation the purpose of England to overwhelm with force the South African republic. SYMPATHY FOR THE BOERRS. Speaking as we do for the entire American nation, except its Republican office-holders, and for all free men ev erywhere, we extend our sympathies to the heroic burghers in their unequal struggle to maintain their liberty and Independence. \V>? denounce the lavish A Doctor's Advice Free!
