THE platform adopted by the Re-
publicans of Ohio, at their recent
State Convention, indicates that the
party in that State is alive to the
demands of the hour, and correctly
appreciates the drift of popular SEN
timent. The resolutions call for a
modification of the naturalization
laws, condemn all officials who par
ticipated in the Credit Mobilier
frauds, and demand the uncondi-
tional repeal of the Salary bill. Up
on tho great question of the control
of railroads the platform is explicit
and pointed, demanding that sail

size discrimination against local.

Our troops have captured "ten
little lnjun boys" or ten or twelve
squaws and pappooses-exactly how
many of each is not stated, but that
does not matter. The question is,
what shall be done with them? 1t
is easy enough to talk of extermina-
tion,. but we do not believe there is
a man in the army mean and cow
ardly enough to butcher these little
redskins for the sake Of carrying
out the theory of destruction or
gratifying a spirit of revenge
There is something about the help
lessness of childhood that appeals
to the universal compassion, and a
brave man will turn away from any
cruelty to the innocent and defence
less, and say with Uncle Toby,
there's room enough for thee and
me-" Meantime, we have captured
these little savages, and they are so
many baby elephants on our hands.
The organ Of the "exterminators"
in this city have given us to under
stand that it is the solemn duty of
the government to murder them, the
doctrine of enthanasia being pecu-
liarly and particularly applicable to
their case. We suggest, if this pol
icy is still thought necessary, that
the editor OF that paper be lnt out
as modern Herod, armed with pie
nary powers to "work off" the little
Modocs in the most approved fash
ion, and i'll the most ''independent"
and 'liberal' style. Thus shall the
glory of the country be magnifed,
the safety Of posterity insured, and
the power Of the superior race per-
petuated.-7nte7- Ocean.

The latest exhibition of cheek is
certain editor in this part of the
State, who has the reputation among
the profession, of enjoying greater
amount of solicited favor from
railroads, in the shape of passes,
etc., than is asked for or accorded to
nine-tenths of the fraternity in the
State, and who yet from the serene
and frosty heights of his supcrabun-
dant egotism presumes to lecture
the newspaper men of Iowa for
accepting the favor of free rides on
the railroads on the occasion of the
annual meetings OF the Press Asso-
citation. The same Sir Pompous
complacently congratulates himself
that he has never joined one of
these disreputable excursions. He
may be assured that the congratu-
lations were not all on his side.

The Pacific Railroad Suit.

The great suit of the United
States against the Union Pacific
Railway and the Credit Mobilier, so
long in PREPARATION, was commenced
on Monday by the filing of the pa
pers at Hartford, Conn. Among
other things the bill claims that the
Union Pacific road is insolvent, that
the cost of the railway and telegraph
line was considerably less than half
the sum represented by the aggre-
gate of stock and other pretended
liabilities of the company, outstand-
ing; and that the greater part of
this stock was issued, not in the in.
terests of the company, but to enrich
the managers, and in a manner and
for purposes contrary to law.
The bill prays for the reformation
Of this abuse, so that the actual cost
Of the road and equipments, over
and above the amount of the pro-
ceeds Of the U. S. bonds issued to
it, shall be represented only by
stock fully paid, or if this cannot be
done, that the excess of cost above
the amount of the U. S. bonds, be
represented by the first mortgage
bonds Of the company.

The Belle PLANE Union, paper in
whose treatment of topics of public
interest we always find the evidence
OF honest purpose and mature judg-
ment, IN an article with the above
title makes the following excellent
suggestions to the Patrons. No
thinking member of the organiza-
ton will fail to recognize the advice
is emlnently wise and salutatory:
"A numerically powerful organiza-
ton has it's dangers. Especially is
such the case with one based on
popular idea, new in its elements of
cohesion, and while the methods of
accomplishing it's worthy ends are
not thoroughly matuTed and under
stood. 1t is the the evil of all such
good institutions to be bored by
demagogues, who seek to use the
popularity of the organization to &C
complish their own sinister-or at
least selfish--ends. This is one Of
the dangers that now menaces the
Changers.
Another is the liability to attempt
too much. The organization, we
take it, has definite and leading
purpose in view. There may be a
variety Of means used to this end.
But there is a possibility of drag
ging in irrelevant subjects and side
issues, the discussion of which will
distract the order, instead of uniting
and Strengthening it. 1t will not
do to attempt at once to cover the
whole field of social and political
reform. The condition ofsuccess in
all reform is to avoid the multiplica-
ton of cxtraneous and distracting
issues. Thus it has been attemp-
ted, in some of the farmers con-
ventions in Illinois, to commit the
movement to the doctrine of free
trade. That is question irrelev-
ant to the main one in which the
farmers are interested, concerning
their contest with the railroad COM
panics. Free trade may be sound
political economy, or it may be, as
a very large number Of men think,
a delusion. People will continue
to differ about it, as they have in
the past. But the introduction of
the question as test will weaken
the farmers movement.
The action Of the Changers should
be taken with deliberation, with due
moderation Of tone, never hastily,
nor Oh insufficient information or re-
Election. The meetings should be
cautiously kept from becoming the
instruments ofsmall politicians who
will most certainly seek to use them
by taking advantage of an honest
sentiment, to direct them in a wrong
channel, even to strike down some
times the truest friends of the far
mers' interests. 1t is a mistake
as every intelligent farmer must
know-to suppose there are no such
demagogues among the farmers.
1t should be part of their business
to watch the tricks of such men, and
make them as little harmful as pos
siblc.

One of our army commanders in

ONE of our army commanders in
Texas, Col. Mckenzie, with or with
out authority from headquarters,
last week pursued band of thiev-
ing numbering redskins over the
Mexican border, and ovcrtaking
them on Mexican ground, without
much regard to international re-
gulations or red-tape generally pro-
ceeded to administer to them a
severe chastisement, killing and
wounding a number and scattering
the rest. This act of Col. McKen-
zie's was Of course a constructive
invasion of Mexican territory, and
some Of the papers have been trying
to get up a sensasion by characteriz-
ing it as equivalent to declaration
of war, and specializing upon the
probability of the immediate open
ing Of hostilities between the two
governments. But it now seems
that Mexico has herself furnished q
precedent for the act, by former in
vasions of our soil, and the lntelli-
gence comes from Washington,
that the Mexican minister appre.
hends no trouble as the result of
McKenzie's raid.

SENATOR CARPENTER, in his re-
cent speech to the citizens of New
Orleans, not only treated them to
some plain talk upon their revolu.
tionary attitude, but also gave them
some exceedingly wholesome ad-
vice, which, if it were accepted,
would add to their prosperity as
well as to their reputation for sound
sense and good judgment. Here is
aspecimen:
Turn your attention to pour trades
and commercial enterprises. There
is Mexico below you, teeming with
wealth and open before you. There
are the West India Islands, all for
us, if we do not allow Europe to
steal our trade. Spain in the latter
is committing the outrages on our
trade, but we will in the end secure
it. With these, there is the North
and the West imploring you, for
Gods sake do something. Why
don't you let politics alone, and at
tend to your business? The ma
ton is waiting for you, and l i'm
plore you to set your house in order
that we may be with you.

Nor SO BAD BARGAIN AFTER
ALL.-"Two small rocky islands in
the Behring Sea-" says the London
Globe, "will soon have paid back to
the United States Treasury the
whole sum expended upon the pur-
chase of Alaska. When the cession
of this territory was granted by
Russia, people smiled at the bar
gain made by the Americans. 1t
was asserted that Yankee shrewd-
ness had deserted Mr.. Seward in
this matter. He knew better, and
did not buy with his eyes shut. ST..
Paul's and St. Georges Islands, be-
longing to the Alutian chain, have
since been leased to the Alaska
Commercial Company for seal-ish-
ing at yearly rental of $50, 900. A
tax of nearly So on each fur seal
skin taken from the island is also
imposed. AS 100000 skins are ex-
ported yearly now to San Francisco
and New York, a fruitful source of
revenue is obtained from these two
barren rocks. This territorial en-
terprise of the United States is
therefore a great success, and will
probably help to develope the idea
so rapidly growing in America that
colonial possessions are useful from
many national points of view"

A Twelve Mile Hole Through the
Eternal Hills in Colorado.
From the Denver News.

From the Denver News.
A scheme is now on foot for run
ming tunnel through the Rocky
Mountains. This may seem a pro-
digious enterprise at first to the
casual reader, but the parties who
have the matter in hand are san
guine of the most complete success.
For some time past gentlemen have
been investigating this matter, and
they have arrived at the conclusion
that the project is feasible in every
particular. The idea is to tunnel
the mountains from a point about
one mile below Black Hawk to the
Middle Park, running in north
westerly direction. The tunnel to
be run will, it is presumed, cut
many rich veins of gold and silver,
and thus great mining interest
be developed. Money for the prose.
cution of the work is furnished by
English capitalists who arc sanguine
OF the ultimate success of the en-
terprise. Some idea of the magni-
tude of the task may be gathered
from the fact that the tunnel, if
completed, will be twelve miles in
length. 1t is intended to make it
large enough to be used for railway
purposes, and SO, if a road is ever
to be constructed to the Middle
Park, it will find its most convenient
route through the tunnel.
1t will be called the Sierra Madre
Tunnel Company, and the incor-
poration papers for its organization
have already been filed.

was big one, but it did not last
long. / think this last one came
into Washington county about ten
miles from here. l have heard oft
nine miles off. Some damage was
done beyond, but it don't amount to
much.
The Rev. G. Williamson, pastor
of the First Presbyterian church,
whose congregation suffered most,
devoted his sermon this morning to
the calamity. The house was full
His text was from the first chapte.
of Nahum and the third verse:
"The Lord hath his way in the
whirlwind and the storm, and the
clouds are the dust of his feet"
His conclusions were that the
cyclone was a visitation of God
sent like the plaques of Egypt to
demonstrate His power. The con-
gregation was melted into tears.
Mr.. Williamson, in the course of a
conversation, spoke of Mr.. Gibson,
whose handsome residence was
scattered to the four winds, and his
family left homeless and naked, the
storm having stripped the clothes
off their backs. Mr.. Walters another
of his congregation, lost his wife
and child, and four other children
were severely wounded. His wife's
neck was broken, and Miss Gardner,
sister of Mrs. Gibson, young
lady Of singular beauty, can hardly
recover, and, if she does, will be
crippled for life. Willie Gibson, Is
years old, is not expected to live
Rallie Gibson, who was in the
school house, is badly hurt, but not
fatally wounded. A hole was blown
in his cheek alongside the mouth,
his head cut, besides severe internal
injuries. He was stripped of every
thing save his shirt. Mr.. Williams
told many interesting incidents of
which he knew. A glass lamp was
left on Gibson's floor unbroken, and
number of glass jars were carried
several miles uninjured. A photo
graph of Mr.. Wilson, former pastor
of the church, was carried seven
miles away from Gibbons. A man
named Baker was driving a mule
team before buggy, when the
storm came along, unhltched the
mules, carried them some distance,
deposited them in a hedge, at the
same time that it smashed the
vehicle into little bits and broke the
ribs Of Mr.. Baker, who is not ex-
pected to recover. Poultry was
unteathered - plucked perfectly
clean. Mr.. Corners wife is doing
well, her crushed hand having been
dressed. His daughter, whose
shoulder blade was broken, is as
comfortable as could be expected.
Mr.. Williamson said that the best
description he heard of the storm
was from his little boys, who liken-
ed it to a great blue sheet with one
end trailing on the ground, and
occasionally lifting so that they
could see under it. lie believed it
travelled forty miles an hour, and
took minute or minute and
half to pass a given point. Accord
ing to the best estimate, the result
of the storm so far as heard from
are twelve persons killed, thirty
wounded, thirty buildings destroyed
forty horses, ninety COWS, over
$1,000 sheep, numberless hogs and
poultry, and the crops and timber
on the line of the storm.

AN EMINENT SCIENTIFIC MAN ex-
plains why Prof. "Anderson's Der.
mador" acts so much more promptly
than other applications in curing
sore parts, as follows: The usual
applications, such as plasters and
poultices, contine the heat, SO it es-
capes with difficulty, and the cure
must be slow
The Dermador acts in direct op-
position to all such applications-it
keeps the skin moist, and instead of
combining it conducts the heat off, and
reduces the inflammation Immediately.
