The Republican Platform.

The following is the platform of
principles which was unanimously n
dopted by the Philadelphia Conven-
ton. It covers every important ma
tional question. and will be heartily
endorsed by all Republicans
The Republican party of tho Uni
ted States, assembled in National
Convention in tho city of Philadel-
phia, on the 9th and 9th days of
June, 1872, again declares its faith,
appeals to its history, and annon-
ces its position upon the questions be-
fore the country.
First. During eleven years Of SUI
premacy it has accepted, with grand
courage, the solemn duties of the
times it suppressed gigantic re
bellion, omancipated four millions
of slaves, decreed the equal citizen
ship of all, and established universe
suffrage exhibiting unparalleled
magnanimity, it criminally punished
no man for political offences, and
warmly welcomed all who proved
their loyalty by observing the laws
and dealing justly with their neigh
bors it has steadily decided with
tirmness the resultant disorders of @
great war, and initiated n wise and
humane policy toward the indian
The Pacific Railroad and similar vast
enterprises have been generally aid
ed and successfully conducted the
public lands freely given to actual
settlers emigration has been pro
tected and encouraged and full nc
acknowledgement of the naturalized cit
izens' rights secured from European
powers q uniform national curren
cy has been provided, repudiation
frowned down, the nationul credit
sustained under extraordinary bur
dens, and new bonds negotiated at
lower rates. The revenues have been
carefully collected and honestly ap
piled, despite annual large reduction
of the rates of taxation. The public
debt has been reduced during Gen
eral Grants Presidency, at the rate
of hundred millions year I; great
financial crises have been avoided
and peace and plenty prevail through.
out the land. Menacing foreign diff
ficulties have been peacefully and
honorably composed, and the honor
and power of the nation kept in
high respect throughout the world.
This glorious record Of the past ID
the party's best record for the fu
ture. We believe that the people
will not entrust the Government t.
any party or combination Of mer
composed chiefly of those who have
resisted every step Of this beneficial
progress.
Second. Complete liberty and OK
act equality in the enjoyment of al
civil, political and public rights
lshould be established and effectually
maintained throughout the Union
by efficient and appropriate Stat
and federal Legislation. Neither the
law or its administration should ad
nit of any discrimination in respec
of citizens by reason Of race, creed
color, or previous condition OF ser
vitude.
Third. The recent amendments Il
the National Constitution should b,
cordially sustained because they or
right--not merely tolerated becaus
they are law--should be carried on
according to their spirit by apprc
pirate Legislation, the enforcement
Of whice can safely be entrusted Oh
ly to the party that secured thos

What Advertising Did.

Millaud, the banker and newspaper
Spectator, who died recently in Paris,
and who founded the Paris Petite Jour
nal, which at one time had daily cir
culation of nearly half a million copies,
was an enthusiastic believer III the ad-
vaItages of liberal advertising. One
day ne had at lis table nearly all the
proprietors of the leading Paris dailies
They conversed about Advertising
Millaud asserted that the most worth
less articles coilld be sold IN vast GUAM
titles, if literally advertised Emil de
Girardin, Of la Presse, who was pres
emit, took issue with him on the sub
jet. "What will you bet" exclaimed
Miilaud, "that | cannot sell in one
week one hundred thousand francs
worth of the most common cabbage
seed under the pretext that it will pro-
duce mammoth cabbage-heads All I
have to do is to advertise it at once in
a whole page insertion of the daily pa
pers of this CITY," Girardin replied
that he would give him page in his
paper for nothing if he should win his
wager. The other newspaper publish
ers agreed to do the same thing. At
the expiration of the week they inquir-
ed of Millaud how the cabbage seed
had fourished. He showed them his
books triumphantly, and satisfied them
that he had sold nearly twice as much
as he promised, while orders were still
pouring in; but he said the Joke must
stop there; and no further orders
would be filed.

The Great Fires.

The great fire which occurred in
London in 1866 is memorable in the
annals of history, and considering the
period in which it occurred, was as Sc
we're as that of Chicago IN 1871. Like
that Of Chicago it started on Sunday,
and was famed BY high wind. More
than half of the city was destroyed,
embracing some fifteen thousand build
ings, and 100000 homeless people of
all degrees lined the highways leading
from the city, in & state of starvation.
The section embraced in this fire, how
ever, was only two-thirds of a square
mile. and the loss was about So, 900,
600; so that the burning of Chicago
stands without parallel IN modern
times.
The following table gives the amount
of losses by the great fires which are
worthy of note;

But hif vanity's everlasting, it wants too much

Alleged Fraudulent Importations.

Proceedings have been commenced in
the United States Court against the
firm of Naylor & Co., of New York, fo1
5000, 900, to recover the amount of GER
tain importations entered at the pori
of New York by this house during
1869, 1870 and 1871, and which, ac-
cording to the Investigations of Frank
e. Howe, were undervalued largely.
They claim that the books of then
London house would show that theii
invoices agreed with the prices paid in
Sheffield, and asked for time to furnish
extracts. Time was granted them, and

unable to furnish satisfactory proof OF
the correctness of their invoices, the

How Street.Car Conductors Get Rich.

A New York street-car conductor of
many years experience, who has been
discharged for knoeking-down, pub
fishes an expose of the grand stealing
operations in vogue among street-car
conductors here. A conductor of car
receives 50 wages daily, and must di-
vide every week about SIS between the
driver, starter and receiver, or else
they conspire to throw him behind
time, and reduce his receipts below
the minimum. To get situation
the conductor must pay from $50 to $50
to the superintendent. Drivers in
turn are bled by the foreman of the sta
bles, who apportion tie best horses to
the most liberal. An honest conductor
is hunted off the road in very few
days, but few are troubled in that way.
On holiday, when the cars are unusu-
ally jammed, the conductor steals from
SO to SIS, but ordinarily from 81 to S.
In spite OF this leak, the main lines in
New York pay enormous dividends, and
no stock can be bought

The women of Estherville, Emmett
county, Iowa, are, it seems, temper
ance law within and unto themselves
One day last week they concluded the
evils of the two saloons in Estherville
could no longer be borne, and, so con-
Guiding, went to work to rid the town
of them. According to the local chron-
icle twenty-five of the ladies, emo

the most worthy families of the place, p"
In body, proceeded, without warn
ing the objects of their dislike" to
carry out g the determination they had
had arrived at by counseling one
with another" s'Slight resistance
was met with at the first saloon, but
they overpowered it, and "made
quick and effective work, in the demol-
ltion of casks, decanters, jars, bottles,
etc, and poured the liquid and spirit
uouf, contents into the street. For the
distance of block the gutter was
swimming with whisky, and the interi.
or of the saloons presented a scene of
desolation and ruin that ono seldom
beholds IN peaceable community. P"
After the work was done, the ladies,
"quietly returned to their homes, y

repeat their performance whenever it

New Use for Stoye.Pipe Hats.

The story of the merchant who ex-
cited the ridicule Of his friends by
shipping cargo of warming pans to
the West Indies, and who turned the
laugh on them by realizing handsome
profit from selling them for sugar
shovels, is familiar one. 1t has
parallel in the recent experience OF a
Philadelphia halter, who removed to
Madras. There was not very lively
demand for hats of the stove pipe style
of architecture, and his stock threaten
ed to be drug on the market until the
natives bethought them that they would
be very suitable covering for thell
idols. Fashion rules in Madras as
elsewhere, and when one grinning
image was thus ornamented, all the
others must needs be. Accordingly
his stock was soon exhausted, and he
has sent to Philadelphia for further
supply.

Wifely Devotion.

The devotion of Lady Franklin to her

She gave the world no peace until the
immense ice-fields of the North were
searched for her lost husband, and
then moved the hearts of two CONT
nents by her efforts to recover his re-

From meadows half bleak and half brown,
And long must it be eer fresh grasses
Look up to sun looking dowr.
For first from kind heavens pure portals
The tears of the April must fall,
Fer rising the buried Immortelles
Respond to the summers sweet call.
Respond in the garden with bushes
That deepen meath ardors of June,
To wither, alas, in the bushes
OF days that must follow too soon.
Of days in whose scorching embraces
Fen earth feels her GOODNESS depart,
And welcomes the fresh baby faces
That lie on her motherly heart.

And mingle my hopes with my fears;
wait for the end of story
Whose end bringeth gladness or tears.
