IL seems that the Radical newspa-
pers do net like our platform. We
don't suppose that they do, nor was
it intended to make a platform tha,
would suit them.
1t has no niger in it, and this is
one reason it don't suit them.
Ii does not hand over the South
to the domination of ignorant blacks,
and this don't suit them.
1t does not contemplate the crea-
ton of black balance of power 10
rule thirty million of freemcn, and
that don't please them.
1t does not discriminate in favor
of the bondholder and against the
poorer classes, and that don't please
them.
1t declares that there shall be one
currency for the Government and
people, for the laborer and the office
holder, for the pensioner and the
bondholder-and that don't suit
them.
1t declares for the payment of the
national obligations in strict accord
ance with the terms prescribed by law
and that don't please them.
1t demands reforms in the abuses
of the Administration, and they are
not pleased with that.
1t denounces the usurpation and
tyranny of the Radical party, and
they are not pleased with that.
1t dnounces the violation by the
Radical party of its pledges, that
"the conduct OF the war was only for
the preservation of tho Union, and
not for the subjugation of the South
ern States" and the overthrow ofthe
freedom of speech, and that does not
suit them.
1t declares the doctrine ofthe Con-
stitution, that the trust of suffrage
belongs exclusively to the States,
and to the citizens of the State, and
that don't suit them.
We are pleased to know that our
platform, and the principles therein
declared, do not suit the Radicals, tor
this knowledge assures US that it is
acceptable to the masses of the over
burdened, tax-ridden people. 1t
suits them, and they will approve it
at the polls, and knock Grant and
his negro platform "endwise." That
will suit us.-Monterey Democrat.

CHEApNEss OF TRAvEL.-A nota-
ble feature of tho times is the low
rates of fare on all the leading routes
of travel. One can 60 from New
York to Albany or to Boston for
one dollar, and there are excursion
tickets to Montreal and Chicago, so
cheap as to make old folks regret
that they had not been born half a
century later. The amount of travel
between Boston and New York for
three months past has been beyond
precedent. There are five through
express trains daily, three ria SPRING
field, and two rn Providence, at So
fare. Besides those, there are four
steamboat lincs-thc Norwich, Ston-
ington, Newport and Bristol. The
last is new and popular route, and
has been drawing largely on the
others, which lowered their fares in
June from SIS to 81. The distance
is 230 miles. The result has been
that tens of thousands are taking the
trip between the Eastern and Mid
die States who would otherwise stay
at home. A load of 600 to 1000
passengers has been quite common,
and the papers say that, on the
morning of tho 4th of July, the
Bristol boat brought down from
New York 1866 persons, by far the
largest number taken through the
Sound at one trip by any steamer.
With tho rush of travel, the lines
have taken nearly as much money
as at the old price, but the low fare
is partially made up by the higher
charge for meals and extras. These
rates seem likely to continue till
the other lines have ascertained
whether the Bristol, which pays the
interest on steamers worth half a
million each, can hold out as long as
companies whose boats are less cost.
ly and expenses correspondingly less.
Californians travelling here are re-
minded of the "good time coming"
when, competition having done its
appropriate work on the waters
around San Francisco, the fare from
your city to San Jose shall be 81; to
Sacramento 50: to Santa Barbara,
Eureka and Virginia City So; to
Los Angeles and Portland, S15.-

ing at a little French country inn,
and there was q melancholy-look-

garden, that had only one leg. Two
or three days after his arrival he had
some gibier (game) for dinner. The
"gams" was very small, but he en-.
joyed his dinner immensely, ard the
next day he missed the owl from the

B@~ The comparative statistics OF
London and Paris present few fea-
lures of difference, which arc signi-
ficant of the different characters of
the two communities. The city of
Paris contains about 100000 of in
habitants living in $4,000 houses.
London has 100000 OF people, and
about 100000 houses the proportion
of people to a house being five times
larger in Paris than in the English
capital. The London average is
eight, and the Paris average is forty
to each dwelling. The above shows
the English preference for separate
residences, contrastcd with the nat
urally gregarious habits of the
French. A grand democratic fea-
ture of French socicty-the strongest
OF all, in facts the custom of peo-
pie Of wealth and station living in
one part Of a house, while poor,
struggling folks occupy the upper
stories of the same. Respectable
society in London shuddcr ut such a
thing.

CoNNEC1IcUE-The majority OF Eng
lish, democrat, in Connecticut, is now
given in full by the Hartford Co"rant,
which may be taken as the best authorl-
ty, is l,735, out of vote Of 99,235.-
According to the N0racdH Gazette, IN the
interior towns where honest electors only
visited the polls, the republican majority
was notably increased, while IN city
wards, and the larger shore towns, the
sham democracy have shown sPasmod-
ic increase. The republican majority III
the senate and house are largely increas-
ed over last year, which leaves the very
pleasant reflection that by that majority
Mr.. James Dixon will be required to give
place to Gov. Buckingham, Gov. Haw-
ley, Cyrus Northup, or some other good
republican. 1t also secures an upright
republican Judge for eight years. As
:here can be no doubt but that the state
will GO next fall for Grant, we may mod
ify our lamentations over the loss of the
State officers by the aid of the migra-
tions from \. York that filed the trains
before and after the election. a partial
or even a total defeat at the election pre-.
cccding a presidential election, is gener-
ally followed by most comforting sue
cess at such general election.

J. r. DODGE, statistican of the agri-
cultural department, has prepared some
valuable papers tor the farmers, which
will be issued in connection with the
March report. From these it appears
that the prices Of farm stock compared
with last years estimates, show de-
crease throughout the west, except in
the item of cattle. The reduction is gen.
orally less, however, than in the eastern
or few of the southern States. The
most marked decline is in sheep, as fol
lows: In Ohio $2,65 from 1885 last
year for sheep more than one year old ;
in Indiana S2,4o from $2,63; Illinois
s2,39 from $3.50, Missouri s2,95 from
g 80, Iowa 1929 from 1926; Minneso-
ia $3.50 from $S,94; Wisconsin s2,86
from $3.50, Michigan 1910 from 1912.
The decline in number is also noticeable,
but is greater in Ohio and Michigan
than farther west. The aggerate decline
in the year is over thirty millions OF
dollars. In horses and mules decrease
in prices appears, varying in the princi-
pal western States, from two to seven
dollars per head. The present average
in round numbers for horses above three
years old is SlO7 in Ohio, 500 in Indiana,
$1o5 in Illinois, S113 in Iowa, $143 in
Wisconsin, $T26 in Michigan. AS here
tofore, the prices of stock are higher in
the newer and more northern and west
ern States than in the Ohio Valley. In
Missouri, Illinois and Indiana, the aver
age for oxen and other cattle is little
higher than last year; the difference is
not soapparent in cows. In Ohio, Wis
consin and Iowa, prices are substan-
TALLY the same as last year, except a
slight decline in cows in Ohio, and tall
of So per head in Wisconsin. An av-
erage fall of from twelve to twenty per
cent in the stock of hogs is reported in
Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and
Wisconsin, with avery slight decline in
Iowa and Missouri.

explained, seized the whole multitude, and
they poured forth against the closed doors,
which opened inward. Some five or six were
stamped to death, and as many others injured,

RITUALISM-The Celebrate case
says the Tribune, which has been some
time pending in the London Court of
Arches, to test the legality of the rit-
ualistic practices introduced by the Rev.
Mr.. Mackonochie at St. Adams Church,
Holborn, has been decided, and the judg-
ment is upon the whole unfavorable to
the. retualists, though like most legal
judgments upon church matters, it will
probably not be very efectual- Mr.. Mac
konochie is forbidden to mix water with
wine in the chalice, or to elevate the
bread and wine for an 'appreciablo
time," or to toss his censer toward "per-
sons or things" yet he may burn incense
as much as he pleases, may preform a
slight elevation of the host, and may
use lighted candles on the communion
table. The charge of excessive kneel-
ing" which had also been brought a.
gainst the reverend gentleman, the
Court prudently declines to pass upon,
but refers it to the Judgment OF the Bish-
OPS On the whole, the trial seems to
have left ritualism about where it was
before,

FEIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON THE ERIE
RAILROAD NEAR PORT JARyIS-FoUR CARS
Roll DOWN A PRECIPICE ONE HUNDRED
FEET HIGH.-The scene of the accident
is thirteen miles this side OF Port Jarvis,
on the Delaware division Of the road.
The sides of the precipice are formed of
jagged rock, and in the descent the cars
Were broken to pieces. At the bottom
is culvet through which flows stream
Of water emptying into the Delaware.
The impression prevails that the dis
aster was caused by broken rail, which
threw the rear car from the track. This
displaced the three cars Immediately in
front, and, the connection breaking, the
whole precipitated down the bank.
The cars in going over the embankment
turned several times before the bottom
was reached, and were nearly demolish-
ed. The sleeping car was entirely con-
sumed by fire.
The immense hight of the embank-
ment and the character of the ground
render the calamity terrible. The woun-
ded are horribly mutilated. The mum
Der of broken limbs and severe gashes
from the fearful fall is very large. The
loss of life will not in the end be less
than forty or fifty.
And as many others are wounded, a.
mong whom is J. Henderson, Rome
badly in the breast, the train was the
Cincinnati express.

The BANKRUPT LAVA few weeks
only remain in which applicants for the
benefit Of the bankrupt law can take ad-
vantage Of its provisions. The first OF
June shuts down on applications. For
the benefit of those who do not fully un-
derstand the law, we furnish the follow
ing abstract:
Who may take advantage of this law !?
ANY person, or firm, who owes debts
to the amount of three hundred dollars
or upward, whether they be individual
or partnership debts, or both, and it
makes no difference what is the charac-
ter of the Indebtedness, whether it be by
bill, note, account, Judgment, as princi-
pal, or surety, or otherwise.
What does the law demand of the ap-
plicant?
That he shall surrender his property,
except such as hereinafter mentioned, to
his creditors, for pro-rata distribution
amcpg them.
What does the law permit the appli
cant to keep?
lst-Household and kitchen furniture
and necessaries to the amount OF five
hundred dollars.
2nd-The wearing apparel of himself
and family.
3d-The uniform, arms and equipment
of any person who is, or has been, a sol
dier in the militia or the service of the
United States.
4th-If the applicant is the head of
family, his homestead, to :he valuo of
five hundred dollars. If he has no home
stead, then in lieu thereof other per-
sonal property, to the value eff $500.
If the applicant has only SO much pro-
perty as is above enumerated, Of course
he has nothing to give up to his credit
ors.
The result of the benefit of taking this
law is discharge from all Indebtedness.
In cases where there is .no contest, it
requires from sixty to ninety days to
procure this discharge.
The freedmen have taken up three
hundred thousand acres of land mostly
in Florida duriug the last year.
