The coliseum was decorated with red, v hite and blue bunting, streamers ol flags, and behind the speakers later > -ere presented to Pemiscot counwere i isplayed the two banners which ty an* to the Fifteenth congressional distrii t. The latter was of blue satin, tnseri ed in gold lettering, “Fifteenth Congr 'ssional District Banner, won in contei t election, 189S. Presented by Benja tun F. Lafay'ette.” The other was of red satin, inscribed in gold letters, “Democratic State Baum if, won by Pemiscot County in Conte: t, Election 1898. Presented by David W. C'firuth.” Imr odiately in front of the speakers' ta cle was table No. 2, at which sat many invited guests, among them a large lumber of members of the state comm ttee. The St. Louisans, especially' the memb :rs of the Jefferson club, were acatte ed promiscuously about the tables, 1 itb a view to entertaining the guests from out of the city.

Diners and Spectators. Dim rs were admitted through the )ig en ranee on St. Charles, near Thirteenth street. Cloak and hat rooms *ere provided at the entrance and ushers w. re within the arena to direct liners to their tables. Not a single hitch occurred in the ervinj of the dinner. Whe i the waiters were removing the affee :ups and serving the cigars, a rral s tand of pink and red roses was ongl t to the speakers' table by ViceFsdd« nt Hawes and presented to Col. ryan. It was the gift of Mrs. Wirth, preside nt of the Woman’s Bryan club, vhich was established in the cam1896. ign The ectators, contrary to expectations, vere admitted at seven o’clock i gall, ry, boxes and dress circle.

Harry *1 th aker ited Haw is, who acted as toastmaster, after rapping for order, H » speech of welcome, on the ~y i ay We Are Here.” ■ awes was followed by Hon, I ark, on whom devolve*! the : of | resenting the banners to Pernc< 2. aty and the Fifteenth conII district, which he perform* appy and eloquent manner, S’ irris, of Pemiscot county, re for the county, and Hon.

subject. “Trusts amd D mocracy,” In tbe course of whkb he declared that the next “president oi the United I States will be n democrat; an oldfashioned, simon-pure Jeffersonian I democrat, with the ftsi of God and ♦he love of man in his he; rt. He will be elected on a platform riveted with j bolts of steel to the eternal truth of the equality of man; and the strongest plank in that platfon i. will declare, in unequivocal, unmistak able language 1 that the nefarious aud soulless trust system shall no longer h ive a place in

me American, irpuuiic. » Congressman David De Armond followed Col. Wetmore, speaking on “The Trust and Its Parents.” He declared that “if the trusts are to be dealt with effectually the republican party, which pioteets them, and whi .'h they help into power, must be retired. And, of course, the democratic party must ccme into control of the government whose foundations the fathers laid for the children of the free and the brave. Then there must be an en l of the reckless creation of corporations, without check or bar, and some simple, sure means must be provided for terminating summarily the existence of those that prove baneful.” 0. H. P. Belmont, erf New York, was the next speaker. After characterizing^ the gathering as the first national bugle call for democrats to °:et together for the campaign of 1900, and counseling harmony as the only 1 ueans of presenting an unbroken front to the opposition, he said: “The time is too shortrfo elaborate the many questions which are intersting the people at large to-day, and I will net attempt it. But even with all our at vantages no victory will be won without harmony. And on the subject of harmony, speaking of New York alone, if you give us Bryan for a candidate and “Smash the Trusts” for a war cry, the Empire state democracy, moving as a unit, will sweep the country.” AttgelU Spaks. Ex-Gov. John P. Altgelid of Illinois spoke after Mr; Belmont. His talk was extemporaneous. He said in part: “11 l had come for the purpose of talkirg, it would be foolish for me to attempt to detain you at his late hour, and especially after that brilliant speech by the next pres dent of the United States. I came here to learn wisdom from the democracy of Missouri, and to say that the party and its principles are too great for manipulators to handle to sene their own selfish conveniences. “1 came to speak, if at all, on that great work of democracy on the shores of Lake Michigan, that gave to the world a new declaration of independence. The democracy iff Missouri made this instrument possible, and under its inspiration, 6,500,000 free Americans fought the greatest political fight ever waged. Her banner still floats, in the breeze, and, if I read aright the sigr.s pf the times, it means millions may be defeated but not one surren* del. “The principles fought for in 1896 can not be surrendered without again seeing democracy’s banner vanquished.” * Col. W in. J. Bryan’s ijpreeh. Of course the speech of the evening was that from Col. Wan J. Bryan, and when the moment arrived for his introduction, all semblance of formality was swept aside by the demonstrations of the assembled multitude, and it was some minutes before he could make himself heard. Finally quiet was restored, and Col. Bryan began, in his quiet land forcible way, to speak on the subject of “Mo

nopones. | An actor who visited Nebraska recently. upon learning from a republican that .confidence had been restored, remarked that he had examined Webster’s dictionary to learn what “contide ace” meant, and found confidence define.I as “trust,” and then he understood that confidence had been really restored. More trusts have been formed in the last two years than existed it the beginning of the present administration, and the nominal capitalisation of the trusts now in existence approaches, if it * does not equal in amount, the world's total supply of gold and silver. The Influence of these trusts has become so enormous that the people, without respect to party, are asking themselves how the evil can be remedied. The purpose of the trusts is to control the product; of some article ot merchandise, and the methods employed are, first, the union of all individual factories under one management or in one corporation, and, second, the crushing out of new rivals A monopoly, when once complete, not only dictates terms to those who buv th.e product, but it also dictates terms to those who sell the raw material, and to those who furnish the labor. If the trusts are permitted to continue, re shall find an industrial aristocracy growing up in the United States which will prove as destructive of our ideals as a landed aristocracy would. The principle of monopoly is incompatible with our institutions. Man’s necessities compel us to become a purchaser, and where there is but one seller, the purchaser is- completely at the taercy of the seller. Where there is competition between producers, the purchaser is sure to obtain what he wants at 8. reasonable price. When competition is eliminated, the price is controlled, not by reason, but by the greed of the one who i*>ssesses the monopoly. • It has been said that power to tax is a power to destroy. A monopoly possesses the power to tax; it can levy such assessments as it will upon thi purchaser, and we can no more afford to authorize a private individual to use tha machinery of taxation in order to enrich himself at the expense of his fellow. The government would be guiltv of gioss neglect if it permitted an individual to secure a monopoly even without legislative assistance, but it is still more culpable if, by legislative act, it furnishes the means by which a monopoly is secured. The corporation is the means now employed by those who seek to secure a monopoly. Since the corporation is a tict ticus person, created by law. the power that creates can regulate, res rain or annihilate. To say that the government is impotent to prevent the orsi taxation ot trusts is to say that it has called into existence a fictitious person, and that the f.ctitious person created h as become gieater than the creator. r One of the difficulties which have been encountered in opposing trusts is that the trust hides behind the feder. i constitution when attacked by state legislation, and shields itself behind its state chapter when attacked in the federal courts. No remedy will be complete that is not coextensive with the federal government. If the extinguishment of the trusts is left to state legislation, the pubi c at large will be victimized as long as a single state will furnish a robber’s roost where the spoils collected in other states can be divided. Just now people are startled bv the principle of monopoly as it manifests it-se.-t in the industrial trust, and well may they' be startled. The principle, however, is the same as that which manifests itself in the effort of the n&tioral bankers to secure a monopoly of the i; sue of paper money. aae Greenback la a rival ol the

note, and! Its presence Is a constant n*?i*ace to the banks of issue. Some who recognise the evils that how lrom a soap tiust seem Indifferent to the dangers that attend the formation of a paper money trust. The principle of monopoly not only lies at the foundation of the attempt to destroy the greenbacks, but it is the controlling principle that underlies the crusaclt against silver as a standard money. Between 1860 and 1880. when the production of gold was increasing and the production of ailver was small, three nations demonetised gold, and gave to silver a monopoly of mint privileges. Early in the 'W't the financiers became alarmed at the increase in the production of silver, and conspired to destroy silver as a standard money and give a monopoly ta gold, the production of which at that tiu* mi its.

t’onary. The standard money trust Is not only the parent trust, but Is In the hands of foreigners. The republican party is impotent to dot'tioy the trusts. It is controlled by those who are interested in trusts, and its campaign funds and sinews of war are supSied by the trusts. The policies for which now stands disregard the interests of the producers of wealth, and give to n oney a consideration which is denied to the indtvlcual. Abraham Lincoln, in the very beginrlnt of hfs presidential career, warned the country against the threatened attempt to p'lt capital above labor in tho i structure of the government. Modern republicanism is fulfilling the prophecy made by Lincoln—it is putting the dollar above the man. 1 he democratic party is opposed to tho principle of monopoly wherever it manifests itself, it has declared war on tho ! trusts. Not a little trust only, but a big ! trust as well; not against one kind of i i trust only, but against all trusts. I The statesmen of our country are pre- f I rared to defend to-day the principles our 1 forefathers labored for. They should and : j will receive our encouragement, for since j [ the adoption of the Chicago platform the i reality of democracy is the same from [ the Atlantic to the Pacific. Other Speakers Heard. • Congressman A. M. Dockery, D. A. » Ball, of Pike county, and ex-Mayor Ed- J ward A. Noonan, of St. Louis, were j called upon for speeches in the eoli- | scum. Eaeh responded briefly, thank- j ing the audience for the honor con- J lerred in the call, but announcing that owing to the lateness of the hour they would have to be excused from ex-1 tended remarks, The crowd then vociferously called for ex-liov. Stone. As soon as order j eeuld l>e established, he stepped to the j front, announced that he could not mnke a set speech, but, on behalf of the democracy of the nation, he thanked the Jefferson club for the magnificent celebration, which would prove a history-making event in the political annals of the country. With a stroke of the gavel, he then declared the assembly adjourned. An overflow meeting which was held in the music hall, proceeded along tjie same lines as the “unyielding principles” of the banquet. The meeting was presided over by ex-Judge E, A. Noonan. How a Long Story W*i Abbreviated by the Cable. “John,” said the old man to his son, “I will give you £ 109 to go away with. Maybe, as you don't like my business, you will find a better one.” Three weeks later the young man ! landed in New York. A month later, ; finding but £ 3 in b s possession, he j determined to return home. It was best to let his father know' before- j hand, but how? A letter would be too j slow, so oil John vv^nt to the tele- j graph office. “A quarter (one shilling) a word ro j London, sir,” answered the polite i clerk to his inquiry., “I want to tell my father I’ve spent . all my money and I’m sorry, and I’m j coming home and want him to forgive I me, and a lot of. other things, and I can only pay for six words to tell him everything,” said John. “Cut it short,” replied the clerk. John sat down and thought. Soon after, to hi| immense astonishment, the old man received the - following • cablegram: “Squills, London: Fatted calf for ' one.”—Chicago Journal.

It la to Be Hoped Not. A teacher in the sixth grade of one of our city school, finds time, now and then, in spite of the ten thousand and one things unknown to the schoolma'am of our youth whieh the modern teacher is expected to teach, to give her pupils a talk on current history. Recently she told them, one day, some interesting things about Queen Victoria and her family. Portraits cut from various magazines illustrated the talk. Among them was a picture of ! the duke of York. The teacher held it vp. Nobody in the class could tell her who it was. '“Well,” said she at last. “I will tell you who this gentleman is. He is the duke of York. And now can any of you tell me what he is?'’ Quick as a flash the hand of a little gir! in the second row went up. M can tell what he is. Miss Blank,** she said, proudly. “He’s the heir consumptive to the British throne.”— Washington Post. A Materialist. A very wealthy ehurc.hwoman and exemplary’ mother who fives in a stately mansion on Pacific avenue was endeavoring to explain the doctrine of immortality to ‘her young son, aged five, who is a merry and sturdy little fellow . 4 “When you die. Belaud,’ she had said. “You will leave your dean little body behind you. It is only your soul that goes to Heaven.” Boland- who had recently been promoted to the dignity of trousers, of the baggy, nautical variety, musel very soberly for a few minutes, at the end of which he excogitated in the interests of decency a formidable objeo* tion to his mother’s teaching. “If I leave my body behind,” he remarked, protestingly, “how can I keep my panties up?” I will have nothing to fasten them to.”—San Francisco News Letter. His Limit. “1 have noticed, Clara,” said the fond father,” that young Meanboy has spent a good deal of time with you lately.” Hi3 daughter sighed. “You are right, dad." she answered, “but that is about all he has spent.”—New York Journal .<*- ,

DAMAGED B7 HEAVY STORMS.

Beluca u« AalmaU Carried AWmr ky Flno4m and Drowaed —Much Daaaasa to ftaurty. Omaha, Neb., May 27.—A special to the Bee from Bancroft, Neb., says: A rainstorm visited this, vicinity Thursday night that did thousands of dollars’ damage. For about two hours it rained in torrents. A great deal of com is washed out, fences and even buildings on low ground have been carried away by the flood. Just south of town, August Blow is minus 25 head of cattle, supposed to have been drowned. 'JJhe report; comes from seven miles southwest of this place that Peter Byers’ wife and one child and Mrs. Jerome Pflamm were drowned while attempting to cross Commey creek. A special from Lyons says: Farmers living west of town report a severe wind and hail storm Thursday evening, which did much damage in that locality. On the farms of Peter J. Lawson and Henry Hammel the buildings were all blown to pieces, crops badly damaged and stock injured. No persons were hurt. Heavy hail and wind did some damage in this town. Struck by a Tornado. River Falls, W'is.* May 27.—A tor* nado struck this city shortly after sis o’clock yesterday afternoon. It seems to have had its inception in the Fourth ward of the city, where it reached down from a black cloud, and picking up Michael Linehan’s barn, tossed it about and landed it upside down. It then passed up South Fork valley. George T. Smith’s brickyard sheds were demolished, and consider* able damage done. A small building used for the employes was wrecked, the inm&tes seeking refuge in the cellar and escaping injury. Half a mile further up the valley, a large bam on the farm of C. P. Burnett was scattered over half a section of land. Maj, Burnett’s barn across the road wat also destroyed. Damase Done by n Tornado. Hastings, Neb., May 27—A tornado passed north of Minden last evening and is reported to have done considerable damage. Much damage is also reported at Kenesaw by wind. MINISTER WHITE A PROPHET* Probably Correct Forecast of the Outcome of tbe Cmar’s Peace Conference at tbe Hague. The Hague, May 27.—It may now be stated with some degree of confidence that the delegates to the peace conference are gradually arriving at the belief that its outcome will be what Andrew D. White, United States amocssador at Berlin and head of the American delegation here, forecasted in the interview cabled to the United States last Monday. So far as armaments are concerned the utmost that it is expected to accomplish is some slight recommendations to the governments participating. The various committees have now settled to work, and the delegates have begun a formal exchange of views. It was decided yesterday to appoint committees to receive all suggestions, proposals and petitions emanating from outsiders, but so far as is yet ascertainable these will be pigeonholed without consideration unless they come within the purview of the questions enumerated in the circular of Count. Murnvieff, the Russian minister of foreign affairs, in outlining the subjects for consideration.

SEEM TO BE GOING IT ALONE, American Delegates to the Peace Conference Slow to Communicate With the State Department. Washington, May 27.—It is learned that the American delegates to the disarmament conference at The Hague, are acting in fonformity with the instructions they originally received from the state department. They have communicated so far but once with the department, their purpose then being silfcply to have made more clear certain details of the instructions. They have made no report to Secretary Hay of the progress of events at the conference, not even mentioning the difficulties they are reported to have exjierienced in securing proper consideration for the one point deemed so essential by the United States, namely, the protection from seismre of individual property at sea. UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER. Tl»c Only Terms that Gen. Otis Will Offer to the Iniargent Filipinos. Washington, May 27.—“When you desire to re-enter the American military lines, come prepared for an unconditional surrender; otherwise you will not be admitted.” This, in substance, is the message given to Aguinaldo’s peace commissioners when they left Manila Thursday to return to the headquarters of the insurgent chief. Our commissioners, if they have not already done so, will receive instructions to adhere to this decision. Fatal Explosion. Philadelphia, May 27.—One man was instantly killed and another was so badly injured that he died, by the explosion of a steam drying cylinder in the dyeing and finishing mill of James Martin <& Co. Three others were im jured, one probably fatally. Senate Committee oa Finance. Washington, May 27.—Senator Aldrich, chairman of the senate committee on finance, has issued a call for a meeting of that committee, to be held at the Fifth Avenue hotel, New York, June 9. ' % in

SaHeleat Foree to Hold All Tier Gala, aad tke Flllptaos SUj. lliirk la aad 11arasa Scostlag Part >ed aad Delacked Companies. < Manila, May 26, 7:40 p. m.—The events of the past week have emphasized the need of t much larger army here, without which, acco rding to the best authorities in Manila, it would be attempting the impossible to expect to establish American supremacy in the Philippine islands. Aa Inadequate Puree. The inadequacy of the American forces is said to be respon sible for the large total loss in the number of small encounters, without material results as a compensation. Most of the fighting has been in territory which the Americans* had swept, but had been compelled to abandon In cause they i could not spare troops to hold it. 1 Llaea Actually Held. The forces commanded; by Generals . Mac Arthur and Lawton h<ld two imj portent lines of common cation and j commerce, the railroad to San Fer- ; nando and the Rio Grande river. But, j much of the country they bave swept, I including scores of the smaller towns and some of the larger ones , have been left uncovered, simply for want of men to hold them, and the insurgents have returned, and are occupying the towns the Americans abandoned, and ' are camping in the jungles and woods outside others, on the ivatch for chances to harass the garrisons, and attack scouting parties oi detached companies with greater forces. Prefer This Kind of W arfare. This is the kind of warfare they prefer to regular battles. * It a pears that the Fili pinos who attacked the Third regiment, between San Miguel and Baliu^g, were part of Pio del Pilar’s army. They came from the south across the mountains, presumably to meet a wagon train which Gen. Lawton expected along the roaa. A Fight at Close Qaaiters. They fired from the jungle at a distance of 200 yards, and jfave the Americans one of the hardest fights experienced in the campaign. The Filipinos lost more heavily than the .Americans in all the reeentei counters. The insurgent generals tak< the loss of arms more to heart that they do the loss of men. Filled Wttk Freak Graves. Foreigners who have arrived here from the insurgents’ countiy, under the recent order of expulsioi, say the cemeteries in all the towns are filled with fresh graves. A majority of the Filipinos’ wounded died, because the insurgent hospitals are inadequate, medicines are scarce, and t ley have few surgeons, except Spanish captives who have been impressed. RENDERING IDEAL SERVICE

' Can SnKKMt So Improvement in the ' Commissary Department in tlte Philippines. Washington* May 27.—The iollowing ] dispatch was received by L eut..-Col I Brainard, of the commissary department at Manila, in reply to a message sent by him to Inspector-General Mai- I lory, at Malolos, asking for uny suggestions as to the improvement of the | service; He has forwarded it to the war I department for information: ! “Replying to your dispatch of yester- , day: Subsistence department is ren- ; dering ideal service. If you continue I to keep here,' besides division :ommis- | sarv, two commissaries, one t.voilable to make issues and the other to make j sales, and continue to furnish ground coffee when required, methods and | conditions could not be impr sved. I state this as the result of insj ection.” TO BE LEFT TO THE HEN. tVanhiuKtoii and Oregoa Tnops to Vote on the Question of Ilace of Mustee Out. Washington, May 27.—The S *cretary of war has sent the following cablegram to Gen. Otis: “Many petitions are received to have 'Washington and ^Oregon troops sent direct to Puget Sound aid Portland. This can be done if the m en wish it. It will deprive them of this $25 to $35 each for travel pay from San Francisoo.
