after tho Jolmaon amocdmonts wtro
engrafted into tho MoLoan platform
and that document as amondod was
adoptod with HU di unanimity.
It was ourrontly reported that John
sou dosirod tho nomination of Monett
aa attornoy gonoral and that tho Mo
fjoan mon wanted Monott defeated.
L'ho dofoat of Monett was BO dcoisivo
SIB to DO a feature of tho convention.
Monott as attornoy gonoral had
brought suits against tho Standard Oil
company and othor corporations to
, oanool iut'ir o'uartor? uuuor tho anti
trust laws. Ho had sought a third
term nomination from tho Bopubli
can's on tho issue that ho should bo
rotainod in that cilice to continue
. thoBO prosooutions. After his dofoat
tor tho third nomination in 1809 ho
supportod Bryan in 1900 ou tho auti
tiust issuo and canvased Ohio and
othor Statos with Bryan
rho most striking turn of tho con

? agroed upon, ono of tho 21 mombora
of that oommittoo odored a minor
ity report, roaOirming tho Kansas City
platform and cxpiostnng oonlidonoo in
Bryan. Ho received only six votes
from tho 950 delegates on his substi

utos aftor tho platform was adoptod,
OOO of thoso six dolcgatas oallod at
tention to tho faot that pictures of

3o started to oarry a small bonnor
?ith Bryan's pioturo on it to tho plat

but tho pioturo did not roaoh its des

and spoilod during tho wild demon
strations whon Kilbourno was escorted
into tho hall, li is generally believed,
howovor, that tho marohing clubs did
not know thoy woro walking over bry
an's pioturo.
Tho members of tho oommittoo on
resolutions said ovor ono hour was
spont after last midnight in oflorts to
strike tho word "salable1' out of tho
plank on railway taxation, and several

that Col. Kubourno will bo compelled
to oooporuto with oithor tho MoLoan

this oonnootion there aro all sorts of
rumors about tho sonatorsbip, for
whioh tho convention endorses no ono

oonnootion.
Tho oonvontion wa? oallcd to ordor

WAR STAMP ON BONDS.
4 .II
It Falls Hard on Rural Froe Delivery
' Mail Carriors
A spooial from Washington Friday
says. An indignant and vigorous pro
tool has boon made to tho Postmaster
General beoauso of tho hoavy intornal
revenue tax loviod upon overy now ap
pointee in tho rural froo dolivory oar
ricr ecrvioo. It appears that in tho
establishment of a now route tho oar
rid i' appointed is rc qui j od to furnish
bond and said bond m ut bo f reightod
with 50 couts worth ol intornal rovonuo
stampf). Soino of tho viotims do not
hesitato to oharaoterV.o tho imposition
of, this heavy and onerous tax as a
bunco gamo on tho part of Unolo Sam
This hoavy and apparently unjust tax
is levied under the terms of ibo war
royds uo measure. Although tho amount
seem., small it. is unjust to tax a' poorly
p*id official liko a rural dolivory carrier
fifty oents for his appointment, when
all of tho othor salaried officials of tho
Government, from tho President down,
aro exempt from a rovonuo lax in con
sideration for thoir commissions and a
placo on tho Govornmont pay-roll.
As Ibo salary of thoBO rural oarriors
in only $500 por annum tho tax is a
hardship, but when, ns is tho oaso in
mjfny instauoes, tho proposed route
hangs tiro in tho dopartraont and is in
definitely shelved, it is adding insult to
injury. Tho would-bo oarrior has paid
oily hts fifty oontu, but ho novor re
?oives ono cont of pay.
Mf. ll. Corqucst Clark, tho thief
spacial agent in charge of tho rural freo
dolivory sorvioo, said Friday: "It
BO tun H to mo a groat hardship for tho H o
mon to bo forood to pay this tax. As

WILLING TO BALANCE ACCOUNTS'
Russia WillVaoate Raised Tari?Hf
U 8 Will Bo tho Same.
Auothor important ohango has oo
our<;d botwoon tho Russian govornmont
and tho Unitod Statos rotativo to tho
thrift. Tho Russian minister of finanoo
M. Do Wi tte, has proposed that Russia
will vaoato all tho additional dutios
lovidod on Amorioan goods sinoo thu im
position of tho eugar diiforcntial if tho
Unitod Btatos will vaoato its notion on
tho eugar difforoutial. To this Beoro
tary Gago has ropliod that tho off or of
tho Russian govornmont cannot bo no
ce ptod as tho question of tho sugar
differential is now in tho hands of tho
oourt. thus precluding notion by tho
exeoutive branoh.
Tho proportion of tho Kassian min
istor of finance was tho result of
Soorotary Hay's noto of ^bout two
wouks ago. In that noto Mr. Hay
pointed out that tho aotion takon a) lo
j o trole um was not now, nor was it
meant to havo any oonnootion with Ibo
previous aotion of tho govornmont on
sugar. Thia appoara to havo recon
ciled Russian ofti nala in thoir view
that tho pnotroloum ordor was only an
othor stop in tho polioy previously
takon roBpooting sugar.
M. DuWttto's rospoiuo is not long,
but it is quito to tho point. It makes
no further iseuo as to tho petroloum
ordor. Tho ohiof attention is given to
sugar and tho apcoifio ordor is made to
vaoato immediately tho inoroasod du
t?os which Russia has loviod, if tho
Unitod Btatos will vaoato its action on
sugar. This would amount to ro
ostabliahing tho status quo which ox
isted bofore tho United Statos took its
initial aotion rolativo to Russia.
Tho Russian propos'lion waa com
municated to Soorotary Gago, who ro
spondod promptly that as tho sugar
question is now bofore tho courts it is
not possiblo for him to avail himself of
tho Russian suggestions. Thus tho
I mattor Btanda.
Tho reductions whioh would have ro
; sultod under M. DeWitto's tondor aro
thoso affecting cast iron wares, manu
faoturcB of iron and steel, boiler work
toola for artists, faotorios and work
shops, gas and wator motors, motors

did not make thoir business known until

woro all now in Oharloston. They oamo
hore undor tho command of Ohiof La
Far, who had instructions to smash tho
hoad of ovory tigor that was otuok from

known just why tho extra foroo had

that tho disponsary management in Co
lumbia had hoard of tho allogod
''friendliness" whioh it was allogod ex

tigors. Thoro was nothing friendly ; ^:
about tho work Thursday, howovor, and
it was not until tho officers had orossou
tho thronhold of tho bars that tho ir
idontity wan disoovovod, And thon
thoro was a eoramblo for oovor and a
rush to got tho liquors safo from tho

everything in sight and sound was

last night tho blind tigor: sky was Ho
dark and gloomy that tho koopors wont
homo early. Many doors whioh had for
merly a woloomo for tho thirsty wore
oloaod and looked.
When tho wiaor tigor koopors hoard
that ot hors in tho businoss woro hoing
olosod they promptly had all ?took on

ostablishmont whioh has boon famous
in tho history of boor and whiscoy

o'olook and tho rogular patrons who
wont thoro wore dishoartonod whon
thoy saw tho sad outlook. Aftor 4
o'olook fivo oonBtablo visitod tho placo.
Tho man who looks aftor tho moods of
tho thirsty recognized tho offioors and *
promptly ottered thom tho keys. Tho
ofiioors wont through the plaoo, poopod
under tables and into olosots and thon
felt in tho chimneys. Tho moat they
Baw a half dozens helpless bottlos of
gingor alo that wevo loft alono to stand

wore quickly romovod to spots that
constaolos could not fathom. It was
really touching to look at tho lone bot

two moro bottlos woro found. Whon
tho lid was raised one bottio foll down
as if from fright and thon slid quiokly

Ho fished out a thirty-pound chunk of

Juatuas fast as ono plaoo was oloanod
out tho ofiioors hurriod to another until
noarly ovory bar of any promlnonoo was

Horotoforo tho tigors havo boon on

what little liquor was showing on tho
