It in a little puzzling to jin derstand why the ad minis nation is preventing aclion on the Nicaragua C.-ina! .bill at this session of Congress, but perfectly plain ihat. it is doing so, throuuh its agents in'boih House and Senate. There is something behind the desire to postpone -this legislation, vvhhh has been ernioised by ail the politial parties nnd by the public sen liment of the count ry as well. Of course, Mr; McKinley isn't openly antagonizing the Ca nal bill, but it was adminis tration Senators who voted down Morgan's motion to take up 1 lie Canal ball, and it has been administration Rep resentatives w ho have head ed.off Representative Hep burns several a t tempts foget a date set for its considera tion by the House. Nothing could more surely show the steady increase of pnbliv sentimeurin favor of the election of Senators by direct, vole , of ' the people, than the adoption by the House of a resolution pro posing a constitutional a mendment for so electingSen utors, by a vote of 240 to 15. A similar resolution has.becn adopted by the House in a. previous Congress but not by such a large vote. Wheth er the Senate will respond to public sentiment by adopting this resolution is yet to be seen, but it is doubtful. ' It is bad enough for paid lobbyists to pngnge in manu facturing public sentiment in favor of or njjninst pending legislation in Congress, but it is infinitely worse for a bu reau of the government to engage in such business. The Inteistate Commerre .Coin mission has been sending out thousands of oitVular letters Representatives to in a k e them Rupport the Culloin bill, for the . enlargement of the power of that Commission. The exposuie of this official lobbying Jias caused a sensa tion in Congress, and it ought t o en use, t he , sum ma ry ri is missal of every official who either participated therein or countenanced it; but Mr. Mc Kinlev's backbone is hardly, equal to such heroic treat ment of the case. ' A IfilHo matLfl niore repub lican patronage, which, can be utilized in the coming ca mphign. has been reported from the House Census Com mittee. It provides for the cieation of a Census fn'inting office, wjth a superintendent at $2,500 a.year, and a large force of printers and book binders, Jn previous census-, es, this work has been done at the government printing office, and there is n other reason' than greed for more patronage on the part of re publicans why it should not be done there tor 1 his census. Under orders from the re publican bosses,' who wish to keep down the total of ap propriations at this session of Congress, he House Jtfni taty Committee, which had previously agreed to increase the Hun.uai appropriation for the support of the National (Juanrof the states to $2, 000.000,. has reduced th -mount to 1,000,000. ' Only omj democrat in Con gress is publicly supporting Admiral Dewey lor the demo cratic nomination for Presi dent That, is Representative Levy, of N. Y., who is a very iiic gentleman, but who has not been recognized as on? of the democratic leaders. Ad miral Dewey now openly say is that it is the anti-Bryan democrats from whom he expects support enough to get. the democratic nomina tion, but where he expects to find enough of that brand of nemociiiis within a h u n died miles of nominating him is something that is beyond the comprehension of ordina ry folk. A proposition in con nection with , Ada iral Dew ey's candidacy is being talk ed n bo ut. in Washington it would be n good thing toear ry out. It is that Admiral Dewey and Col. Bryan shall pledge themselves to support the tieuet .nominated by- the Kansas City Convention, be fore th"lr names are present ed as candidates. Every Dry mi man to whom this propo sition has been submitted has endorsed it. Admiral Dewey says he will make public this wetk a statement f.f bis posi tion on public questions. It is awaited bp the public with more curiosity than anxiet.y. Mrs. Calvin Zimmerman, Milesburg. Pa., says.

J)emooratie State PUtform. , - Following is the Democrat ic platform ns adopted by 'the Democra tjc Sta te con yen tion on theUtb: ::-::y.:i .The Democratic patty of North '; Carolina, in conven tion assembled in Raleigh, N. 0., on thia day April 111900 do hereby approve, endorse and ratify theprinciples enun ciated and set forth in the platform of the national Dem ocratic party adopted at Chi cago in 189G. , Ve denounce the tariff leg islation of the republican par ty, which has increased the burdens of ta xa tion upon our consumers and increased the powers of the trusts and mo nopolies to rob the people. Believing that under o n r present method of Funeral taxation that more than three-fourthe of our national revenues are paid by people owning less than on lourth of the property of the coun try, we protest against such inequality and injustice, and in ordtjr to remedy to some extent this firent wrong we favor an income tax and fa vor all constitutional meth ods to sustain it. " ft'e denounce th Republi can party for its legislation by which the people in terri tory acquired br rhe United States a rs taxed without rep icsentation und deprived of the protection afforded by the principles that the consti tution follows the flag. We are in favor of peaceful commercial expansion, b u t dcnonnceimperialismuud mil itaryism. We cordially invite all vo ters, without regard. to past political offiliations, to unite with us in support of our can didates who lavor the princi pies of the Chicago platform. We admire the heroism ami ability with which Hon. Will iam Jeunulngs Brran has de fended the principles of the Democratic party, and here by instiuct the delegation fiom this state to the n xt national democratic conven tion to vote for his rcnotni nation as a candidatefor the presidency. We denounce the adminis tration of therepablcan par ty in North Carolina by w hich the negroes were placed in high and responsible official positions which ought to haye been filled with white people. We approve the passage of the act of the legislature of 1899 to prevent the removal of uits by foreign corpora tions from the State to the Federal courts. We corn mend the legislature for the pas sag? of the election law of 1900. We fax or a government of the people, by the people--economy in expenditure and the abolition of unnecessary officds. We heartily commend the action of 'the General Assem bly of 1H(.)0 for appropriat ing $100,000 for the benefit of the public schools of the State, and pledge ourselves ta inrease thesehool fund so as to make at least a four month's term in each year in every school district in the State. V.V We point with prida to the record of the democratic par ty in the building and man agement; of the institution for the care of the unfortu nate insane and pledge the party to bo increase the ap propriation for this purpose as that every needy insane person in the State may be cared format public expense. We approve the passage of the corporation commission act by thelastlegislatnreund of the administration of the affairs of sa'd ?o in mission by which fairer rates have been secured, which are more just to the people ind to the trans portntion and transmission corporations,1 and such as sessment of railroad proper ty as wijl make it bear its fair proportion of the bur dens of taxation. " We condemn free passes. We de denounce all trusts, monopolies and trade cornbi nation, and demand the pas sagB of such legislation, State or national, as will suppress tlie same. We favor the election of United States Senators by the people. We favor the enactment of laws by the next General As sembly providing for the holding of primary elections for the nomination of State and count v officers, Repre sentatives in Conuress and Unitf.d States Senaloi s. lie hereby instruct the State executive committee to make provisions for the holding of a primary on the first Tuesday of nextNovem ber for the selection of a Uni ted States Senator by the Democratic voters of t h e State, at -which every elector who has voted the Demo cratic ticket in the Stateelec tion shall be entitled to cast one vote for one man for United States Senator, and the candidate who receives the majority of the votes so cast in the whole State shall receive the support of. the Democratic members ol the Legislatuic; and if no candi date shall receive a mnjorit.r then the committee shall hold a second primary at which only the two highest candidates shall be balloted for and the one receiving a majority of the votes so cast shall receive the support of the Democratic members of the Legislatuie. Provided, that if any third candidate shall receive at the first primary so held, within 2,500 vctes of the second highest candidate, then in that event the three candi dates shall be balloted for at the second primary, arid the one cf th- three receiving the highest number olvotesshall receive the support oj the Democratic members of the Legislature for United States Senator. We heartily approve of the action. of the last Legislature in submitting the eonslitu tional amendment t o- the people, and we urge itsadop tion, .because it will promote the peace, the prospei ity, the happiness of the people of North Carolina. In additiou to the above platform, fh billowing reso lutions were adopted by the convention ori recommenda tion of the committee: ,.j "Unnecessary taxation ia unjust taxation und While i he people of North. Carolina submitted to the necessary taxation to carry on the war with Spain without com plaint, we demand that with a surplus of f 1 50,000,000 in the Treasury t h e .odious stamp act must be at one repealed. . y Resolved, Thatweeondemn the practice of Federal offic ers controlling and domineer ing con ven tied "and using their official positions to cq ersce and intimidatevoters, the same being subversive of our form of government and dangerous to the liberties of the people. , Resolved, Thai we endorse the nomination of Hon. W. B. Council! for judge for the tenth judicial district. A Fiendish Attack. . An attack was lately made on C. F, Collier, of iown, thatnearly proved fatal. It came through his kidneys. His brick got so lame he could not stoop without great pain, nor sit in a chair except propped by a' cushion. No reme dy helped him until he tried Elec tr ie Bitters which effected such a wonder! jl change that he writes tlnit he feels like a uew man. This marvellous medicine cures back nolle, and kidney troubles, puri--ftes the blood und builds up your health. Only 25e at Blackburn's. Rutherford ton special to Charlotte Observer: Mrs. Nancy Hollifield, the 118' years old lady who lives near Ellehboro. and of whom the Observer readers have read, has completely lost her mind and is perfectly helpless. One year ago she could get about easily on her crutches and ate heartily Her death will be no surprise to her friends. Win. Orr, Newark, 0., says. We never feel safe wihouf One Minute cough cure in the house It saved my little boy's life wh?n he had the pneumoiiii. We. think it is the best medicine made.' It cures coughs und colds and all lung diseases. Pleasant to take, harm less and gives immediate relief, coffcy nros. Phillips & son. An ex 'hanae says the plans of the Republicans lor the campaign of 1900 are. said to include a tour by McKin ley with speeches from the tail end oi trains. In 1890 Mohammed stayed at Can ton nnd invited the moun tain t. come to him. In 1900 Mohammed wil! go to. the mountain. Over -Work Weakens Your Kidneys. 1 i Unhealthy Kidneys Stake Impure Blood. All the blood in your body passes through your kidneys once every three minutes. 1 ne Kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil ter out the waste or Impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fall to do their work. Pains, aches andrheu matism come from ex cess of uric acid In the blood, due to neelected kidney trouble. f- Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as Njugh they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kldney poUoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced ,to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin ning in kidney trouble. llyou are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on its merits by all druggists in fifty-. cent and one-dollar six-1 es.
