Fra sTmeer ‘ROAD Fin, PLEASANT RUN NUMBER ONE Tomorrow’s Route for the Christian Endeavor Wheelmen. AN INTERESTING RIDE Through Soldiers’ Home Grounds and on to Fort Stevens. WHAT THEY WILL SEE The first of the bicycle runs of the Chris- tian Endeavor convention will start off to- morrow morning at 6 o'clock sharp, from in front of the White House. The members are expected to rendezvous at the place fit- teen minutes before the hour of starting, so that the line can be properly formed and the trip made pleasant for all those who participate. The line wili go up Madison place, past the Lafayette Opera House and by the Arlington Hotel, strike out Vermont avenue to 14th street, past the Portland flats and around Thomas Circle, and thence out 14th street to Whitney avenue, passing the Chi- nese legation and the pretty suburban resi- dences in Mt. Pleasanc. After a short rest the line will go out Whitney avenue and cut across to 7th street. The riders will then pass in the main gate of the Soldiers’ Home, ride past the main building, around by the lake, taking in four of the seven miles of beautiful roadways within the grounds. The line will come out the south- eastern gate of the grounds and strike the Herewood road near the intersection of Lincoln road and the Bunker Hill road. The cyclists will ride up and inspect the buildings of the Catholic University, and spend a few minutes at that place. As time for the wip is brief, but very lit- tle delay will be made on the route for ex- tended sight-seeing. The procession will continue up the Harewood road to the Rock Creek Church road, thence in a northwest- erly direction for a short distance to the Blair road. This road will be used for about @ quarter of a mile, or until the Shepherd roa‘ is reached, and then a branch off will be made on the latter road. This road is a little over two miles long, and connects the Blair road with the 7th street road, ending at the latter highway, just opposite Bright- wood. After entering the 7th street pike the riders will go up as far as Fort Stevens, where a stop will be made for inspection. The return trip will be made down the 14th street road to Whitney avenue. The return to the city will be by substantially the same route as the outgoing trip, al- though it is most likely that many of the riders will take In a roundabout trip over the smooth streets. fas The Condition of the Roads. The condition of the road all along ts ex- cellent. As far out as Whitney avenue the ride will be entirely over concrete, with the steep 14th street hill to climb, fully testing the riding ability of the Endeavor- ers on the run. Whitney avenue is a short street running from Mt. Pleasant to the 7th street road, and is not quite a mile in length. It has a gravel surface, and just at this time of the year is in good riding condition, an extra heavy rain being the only thing to mar its condition’ The Sol- diers’ Home drives which will be ridden over are excellent, being as smooth as a parlor floor and ‘affording better riding than the concrete streets. The four miles of riding in the grounds, with the pretty scenery, is apt to be the most enjoyable part of the run. Out on the Harewood road the riding is good. The surface is comparatively level, though there is a gradual upgrade all the way. The road is macadamized most of its length and in good repair. The Rock Creek Church road is perhaps little better than the Harewood road, inasmuch as It is a slightly wider highway. The Rock Creek road is macadamized its entire length and is the western and northern boundary of the Soldiers’ Home grounds. It is always in good condition. There fs a fine coast down the hill past the Rock Creek ceme- tery on this road. From the latter road the ride will con- tinue on the Blair road, which runs up to Takorea, crossing the Piney Branch road at that place. The Blair road is partly a dirt highway, macadamized in some places, and affords fair riding. After a mile ride on this highway the cyclists will turn off to the Shepard's road. Of late the road has been improved considerably, and while there are several hills to be climbed, it is in a fair ridable condition at the present time. The 7th street road {s almost always in good condition. It is well macadamized in the vicinity of Brightwood and sheds the water very well. The objective point of the road will be to Fort Stevens, though it is possible that some of the riders may go as far as Takoma Park. On the return trip the ride will be easy and enjoyed by all. There are no up-grades, but, on the contrary, the route will be aimost a straight down grade, and the only hill that will be encountered will be just before reaching Mount Pleasant. Fourteenth street road has practically an excellent macadam foundation, with a gravel topsoil, and affords splendid riding. Points of Interest. The poiuts of interest on the ride are numerous, while the scerery will be all that could be desired. Outside of the places in the city that might interest the Endeavorers on the trip there is a good deal to see on the road. At Soldiers’ Home, which is undoubtedly one of the prettiest places in this vicinity, the riders will get a brief glimpse of the place, a fuller inspec- tion being reserved for a later run, which completely covers the entire place. The Catholic Uriversity, with its magnificent buildings, including those row in course of erection, will interest many. Then, after leaving the home grounds, the riders will pass the 1 ational cemetery and Rock Creek cemetery, the former containing the tomb of Gem John A. Logan, while both ceme- teries Contain the bodies of a number of distingulehed people. Only a short stop will be made at these points. The main point of interest to the riders and the objective point of the run will be Fort Stevers. ‘fhis\is the spot which marks the nearest approach of the confederate army to Washington at any stage during the war. The advance guard of Gen. Ear- ly’s army reached this point in 1864, but it is only fair to say that they did not stay long in the immediate vicinity, retreating in quick time to a much safer distance. A small stone church marks the siteccu- pied by the advance guard. Some distance rforth of tis spot, and to the right of the ith street road, a smal monument stande, which marks the last resting place of the gallant Union soldiers who*fell in repelling the advance of Gen. Early’s army. scare SEES at our Main Store. Whittemore’s Famous Tan Combination Polish and Paste. 5C. One lot Ladies’ $2.50 to $4 95¢. One lot of Ladies’ White Canvas Oxfords.

A TARIFF FOR REVENUE The following is the democratic platform as sgreed upon yesterday in committee: We, the democrats of the United States, in national convention assembled, do re- affirm our allegiance to those great essen- tial principles of justice and liberty upon which cur institutions are founded, and which, the democratic party has advocated from Jefferson's time to our own—freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of conscience, the preservation of personal rights, the equality of all citizens before the law and the faithful observance of constitutional lmitstions. Free Silver Coiunge. We declare that the act of 1873 demone- tizing silver without the knowledge or ap- proval of the American people has result- ed in the appreciation of gold and a corre- sponding fail in the prices of commodities produced by the people. We ére unalterably opposed to monomet- allism, which has locked fast the prosper- ity of an industrial people in the paralysis of hard times. Gold morometallism is a British policy,and ts adoption had brought other nations into financial servitude to London. It is not only un-American, but antl-Amertcan, and it can be fastened on the United States only by the stifling of that spirit and love of liberty which pro- claimed our political independence in 1776 and won in the war of the revolution. We demand the free and unlimited coin- age of both gold and sliver at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the ald or consent of any other nation. We demand that the standard silver dollar shall be a full legal tender equally with gold for all debts, public and private, and we favor such legislation as will prevent for the future the demonetization of any ind of legal tender money by private con- k tract. State Rights. During all these years the democratic party- hag-resisted the tendency of selfish interests to the centralization of govern- mental power and steadfastly maintained the integrity of the dual scheme of gov- ernment established by the founders of this republic of republics. Under its guid- ance and teachings the great principle of local self-government has found its best expression in the maintenance of the rights of the states and its assertion of the neces- sity of confining the general government to the exercise of the powess granted by the Constitution of the United States. Momey Qucation. Recognizing that thé’ Yhoney question is paramount to all others at this time, we invite attention to the fact that the fed- eral Constitution names silver and gold to- gether as the money metals of the United States, and that the first coinage law pass- ed by Congress under. the Constitution made the silver dollar the monetary unit and admitted gold to free coinage at a ratio based upon the afivey unit. We are opposed to She policy and practice of surrendering to the holders of the @bli- gations of the United States the option reserved by law to the government of re- deeming such obligation in either silver coin or gold coin. , We are opposed to issuing of inter- est-bearing bonds of the United States in times of peace, and condemn: the trafficking with banking syrdicates which, in ex- change for bonds and enormous profit to themselves, supply the federal treasury with gold to maintain the policy of gold monometallism. Congress alone has the power to coin or issue money, as President Jackson declar- ed that this power could not be delegated to corporations or individuals. We, there- fore, demand that the power to issue notes to circulate as money be taken from the national banks, ard that all paper money shall be Issued directly by the Tréasury Department, be redeemable in coin and re- ceivable for al! debts, public and private. Tariff for Revenue. We hold that tariff duties should be levied for purposes of reverue, such duties to be so adjusted as to operate equally through- out the country, and not discriminate be- tween class or section, and that taxation should be limited by the needs of the gov- ernment, honestly ard economically ad- ministered. We denounce as disturbing to business the republican threat to restore the McKinley law, which has been twice condemned by the people in national elec- tions, and which, enacted under false pleas of protection to home industry, proved a prolific breeder of trusts and monopolies, enriched the few at the expense of the many, restricted trade and deprived the producers of the great American staples of access to their natural markets. Until the money question is settled, we are opposed to any agitation for further chahges in our tariff laws, except such as are neces- sary to meet the deficit In revenue caused by the adverse decision of the Supreme Court on the income tax. But for this do- cision by the Supreme Court there would be_po deficit in the revenues under the law'assed by a democratic Congress, in strict pursuance of the uniform: decisions of that court for nearly one hundred years, that court having in that decision sustain- ed constitutional objections to its enact- iment, which had previously been overruled by the ablest judges who have ever sat on that bench. We dectaré that it is the duty of Congress to use all the constitutional power which re- Mains after that decision, or which may come from its reversal by the court, as it may hereafter be constituted, sp that the burdens of taxation may fbe equally and impartially laid to the end that-wealth may bear its due proportion of the-expenses of the government. : : Pauper Immigratios, We hold that the most efficient way of protecting American® labor is to prevent the importation of foreign paupér labor to compete wif it ja the home market, and that the valaé of the hdme market to our American farmers and artisans; is greatly’ reduced by “> vicious ae oe which depresses: the grices of their prod- ucts below the cost of production, and thus deprives them of the means 6F purchasing the products-@f. our home manufactories. The absorption of wealth by the few, the consolidation of ove leading railroad systems, and the formation of trusts and pools require a stricter: control by the fed- eral government of those arteries of com- merce. We demand >the: enlargement of the powers of the intetstate commerce com- mission, and such restrictions and guar- antees in the control#ofsrailroads as Will protect the people f¥om‘‘robbery and op- pression. cesses Republican Wxtravagance. We denounce the profligate waste of the money wrung from fhe: people by oppres- sive taxation, and the vish appropria- tions of recent republicam Congresses, which have kept taxes high, while the labor that pays them ts unemplofed and the products of the people’s toil are ifepressed in price till they no longer repay the cost of pro- duction. We demand a return to that sim- Plicity and economy which befits a demo- cratic government, and a reduction in the number of useless affices, the salaries o! which drain the. substance of the people. We denounce arbitrary interference by federal authorities in local affairs as a vio- lation of the Constitution of the United States, and a crime against free institu- tions, and we especially object to govern- ment by injunction as a new and highly dangerous form of oppression, by which federal judges, in contempt of the laws of the states and rights of citizens, become at once legislators, judges and execution- ers, and we approve the Dill p: at the last session of the United States Senate and now pending in the House of Repre- sentatives, relative to contempts in federal ourts and providing for trials by jury in certain cases of contempt. : Pacific Railway Debt. No discrimination should be indulged by the government of the United States in favor of any,of its debtors. We approve of the refusal of the Fifty-third Congress to pass the Pacific railroad funding bill, and denounce the effort of the present republi- can Congress to enact a similar measure. Pensions. Recognizing the just clatms of deserv- ing Union soldters, we heartily indorse the rule of the present commissioner of pen- sions that no names Shall be arbitrarily dropped from the pension roll, and the fect of enlistment and service should be deom- ed conclusive evidence again: disability before enlistment. Admission of Territories. ‘We favor the admission of the territories of New Mexico and Arizona in the Union as states, and we favor the early admis- ston of all the territories having the neces- sary population and resources to entitle them to statehood, and while they remain territories we hold that the officials ap- pointed to administer the government of any territory, together with the District of Columbia and Alaska, should be bona fide residents of the territory or District in which their duties are to be performed. The democratic party believes in home rule, and that all public lands of the United States should be appropriated to the establishment of free homes for Ameri- can citizens, We recommend that the territory of Alaska be granted a delegate in Congress, and that the general land and timber laws of the United States be extended to said territory. Cuba. We extend our sympathy to the people of Cuba in their herote struggie for Hberty and independence. We are opposed to life tenure in the pub- lc service. We favor appointments based upon merit, fixed terns of office and such an administration of the civil service laws as will afford equal opportunities to all citizens of ascertained fitness. No Third Term. We declare it to be the unwritten law of this republic, established by custom and| the usage of one hundred years and sanc- tioned by the example of the greatest and wisest of those who founded and have maintained our government, that no man should be eligible for a third term of the presidential office. ~ ‘The federal government should care for and improve the Mississippi river and other great waterways of the republic, so as to secure for the interior states easy and cheap transportation to tide water. When any waterway of the republic is of suffi- clent importance to demand aid of the gov- ernment, such ald should be extended up- on a definite plan of continuous work until permanent improvement ts secured. Confiding in the justice of our cause and the necessity of its success at the polls, we submit the foregoing declaration of princt ple and purpose to the considerate judg- ment of the American people. We invite the support of all citizens who approve them and who desire to have them made effective through legislation for the rellef of the people and the restoration of the country’s prosperity. —.__ AUTHORS OF THE PLATFORM. Who Wrote the Various Planks at Chicago. The platform of the democratic conven- tion, which was telegraphed from Chicago Tuesday night exclusively by the Asso- clated Press, has no such crowd of rival claimants to its authorship as surrounded the making of the platform at St. Louis, which was really the main issue at the re- publican convention. One man may be, to all practical purposes, credited with the authorship of the democratic platform. This honor belongs to Col. Charles H. Jones, publisher of the St. Louis Post Dis- patch. Col. Jones wrote the first draft of the declaration of principles. The cocu- ment was arranged and worded by him after consultation with Senators Cockrell and Vest and other democratic leaders, and his draft was adopted by the commit- tee on resolutions after three minor planks had been added and some changes made in the wording, which did not affect the prin- ciples or spirit of Col. Jones’ work. The most vital plank of the democratic declara- tion, that of dealing with the financial question, and outlining with considerable detail the articles of faith held by the sil- ver leaders, was almost entirely the pro- duct of the St. Louis publisher's pen. He also crystallized into verbal form the other points of the party creed, foremost among them the tariff and income tax plank, and those of.less importance, planks relating to federal interference in state affairs, the denunciation of republican Con- gresses, the civil service plank and the declaration against third terms for Presi- dents. The plank against the Pacific railroad funding bill was first suggested by the state democratic convention of California, which instructed the state delegates to pro- pose such a plank to the convention. Ex- Congressman Caminett! and Congressman Maguire of California made a canvass of the committee on resolutions in behalf of the proposition, and Senator White, who was a member of the commi*tee, succeed- ed in prevailing upon it to pledge the party to the policy of opposition to the funding plan. Senator Vest of Missouri drew the plank on pensions. The expression of syrapathy with the Cuban revolutionists in the plat- form was first brought forward in the form of a plank written by Mr. James Creelman, the newspaper correspondent, but Con- gress Sulzer of New York modified the statement to meet the views of the leaders. So far as the much-discussed suggestion of a platform of one plank declaring gor free coinage at 16 to 1 goes, it was never seriously entertained by the committee on resolutions. _———— CENSURED FOR ATTENDING. Charles P. Stone Post on the Rich- mond Celebratio: At the session last night of Charles P. Stone Post, No. 11, Department of the Po- tomac, at Costello’s Hall, resolutions were adopted containing the following: “We second the loyal and patriotic senti- ments of our sister posts, by resolutions passed in council, condemning and deplor- ing the want of loyalty and patriotism on the part of a portion of the citizens of this city, who recently assembled in the city of Richmond, in the state of Virginia, to do honor to the memory of Jefferson Davis, late president ,of the so-called southern confederacy,by engaging in the ceremony of ing the corner stone of a monument to be erected to the memory of this traitor to his country and flag, which he had many times sworn to defend and support. “We regret and deplore that we have Grand Army comrades who so far forget the sense of propriety as by their presence on that occasion, give their acquiescence to the honoring of the chief of rebels, and are at a loss to see how such men can for- get their loyalty to their country and flag and the obligations they have taken to frown down treason and disloyalty. The only excuse to be offered in extenuation of such conduct by ‘our comrades is ‘a desire to be flattered, no matter by whorh.’ With this class of comrades we have no sym- pathy or respect. “We regret that the public schools of this «ity, which should be models of learning and propriety, second to none in the land, are wanting in teaching and fostering a spirit of loyalty to the country and its flag among the youth of this nation and city, and we hope at no distant day to see a change for the better in this direction, even should a change mean a sifting out of the disloyal element, Fhich appear to predom- inate, and substituting therefor, for the education and patriotic guidance of our youth, a faculty of loyal teachers and su- Perintendents who can be trusted. with their keeping.” The resolutiors also contained a severe censure of the Mt. Pleasant Field Band for their presence at Richmond. > A Medal of Honor. A congressional medal of honor has been presented to William W.

BALTIMORE, July 9—A surprise in local politics has been occasioned by the announcement of the intention of Col. Wil- bur F. Jackson, brother of ex-Gov. Jackson, and precident of the Continental Bank of Baltimore, to give up his life-long mem- bership in the democratic party and get over to the republicans. Mr. Jackson's reasons for this step are unknown, but h acquisition is a source of gratification to the republicans, as he is a man of weaith and influence! He has a voting residence in Dorchester county in the first congres- sional district, and is already being talked of as the probable congressional nominee of the republicans to oppose Congressman Miles. Controller Graham told The Star ccrrespondent today that Col. Jackson's candidacy would be warmly indorsed by eastern shore republicans. Ss FIGHTING THE ARMY WORM. Maryland Farmers Digging Trenches to Catch the Pest. Special Dispatch to Tho Evuning Star. CUMBERLAND, Md., July 9.—Farmers from throughout the county are in this city today hiring men to go to their farms to dig trenches. It is the intention of the farmers tc dig these ditches across their farms #0 as to impede the progress of the army worm, which is now creating such havoc with When the worms come to these ditches they will tumble in; straw wil be placed upon them and set afire, thus destroying them. The farmers say that unless the progress of these worms can be checked potatoes, corn, wheat and oats will be entirely destroyed. CAN’T CARRY THEIR OWN LETTERS A Special Postage Stamp to Be Pro- vided for Railrond mess. CHICAGO, July 8.—Rallroad companies no longer may carry their business letters over their own roads without paying post- age to the government. An order has been received from Postmaster General Wilson by Major Stewart and Postmaster Hesing, insisting upon the enforcement of the postal laws against railways carrying their own letters. An exception is made in favor of letters that have to do with the business of the train carrying them. But all letters to station agents and officials are forbidden to be carried without postage, and the in- spectors are directed to enforce the law. The rallroads, however, will not be re- quired to mail their letters as ordinary citi- zens and corporations. They will be sup- plied by the government with a specially stamped envelope, which they must cancel on delivery to the trainman. The express companies have been ’using such envelopes for some years. WERE PHOTOGRAPHING REINDEER How Mr. and Mrs. Youmans Met Their Death in Norway. Further particulars regarding the acci- dent which resulted in the death in Nor- way of Mr. and Mrs. D. D. Youmans of New York show that they formed part of @ party of seventeen ladies and two gen- tlemen whc were driving via Voss and Eide to Gudvangen. The Ycumans were a little in advance of the party in a light cart, and they saw a reindeer.

She was ascending the stairs on her way to the come, when she discovered that her pocket book, containing $4 and her return ticket to her home, had been taken. Compiaint was made to the police, but no description of the thief could be obtained. If this trick was taken by a professional thief, it is thought that he will be heard from again before night. —_—~_—_ The Star the Endeavorers.
