REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
Adopted at Minneapolis, Sept. 10th, 1877

Adopted at Minneapolis, Sept. 10th, 1874.
We, misrepresentation of the Republican
party of Minnesota, in State Convention as
Essembled, do hereby adopt and declare the
following:
Resolved, That while reaflirming the prin-
ciples and renewing the pledges enunciated
and given by the Republican party in its
last State and National Conventions, and
recognizing the ability and general fidelity
which have mnrked both State and nation
| al administrations in the discharge of the
public trusts respectively committed to
them, we can point with especial pride to
the firm maintenance of our foreign rela-
tons upon the basis of justice and right,
and such as has secured respect and friend
ship abroad and peace and confidence at
home the judicious enforcement of all
laws having for their object the protection
of all classes of our citizens both North and
South in their just, OWL and political
rights, and the whole country against the
perils Of instruction and new rebellion,
the preservation of the public faith and the
constant improvement Of the public credit;
the reduction of the public debt and the
consequent removal Of the burdens of tax
alton; the preservation of sound currency
against any rrinous initiation inspired by
speculative interests, which may be hailed
as a sure guarantee of the earliest possible
return to specie payment consistent with
the just rights of both the debtor and credi-
tor classes Of our people; and above all
the constant vigilance manifested in hunt
ing out and exposing to public condemna-.
ton delinquent officials and corruption in
Office wherever and whenever found, re-
gardless of supposed party interests and
party relations, and the correction of all
abuses as fast as discovered its prompt re-
spouse to the popular demand by the repeal
of the Congressional salary bill and other
obnoxious legislation, and its readiness to
grapple with new issues growing out of the
relations Of corporate power and produc-
tive industry by the Inauguration of meas
ures looking to the protection of the latter
against all unjust entertainments of the for
mer, and by the opening up of new and
cheaper channels of communication by wa
ter between the granaries of the West and
the markets Of the East, as sure guarantees
that the grand old party that saved the
country is still true to the principles that
gave it birth, in hearty sympathy with the
popular will able and willing to admins
ter the government in the interests of an
enlightened economy and just regard to
the public welfare, and is worthy the conf
dence and support Of the people.
Resolued, That we heartily approve of the
action OF Governor Davis in relation to the
prosecution of the persons charged by the
report of the Senate committee with de-
frauding the school fund.

The unexpected decline in wheat
the last two" months has been a very
great disappointment to our grain
growers and TO ''nany in the grain
trade. Many'-pefsons who believed
themselves we'll posted in the chances
of the markets, looked for steady Or
up markets ; such have been greatly
disappointed, and some of these
must be heavy losers, for losses are to
be made, and heavy ones, too, and
those of our farmers who have gone
out Of their regular business and be-
come spectators, and shippers of
grain, will rue the day they ever were
thus led astray.-Calitormia Farmer.

"A little six-year-old daughter of
A. B. Newell, Of South IVilbraham,

Mr.. Nathaniel Foster who lives
near Winterset, Iowa, in a late letter
gives his experience in the removal Of
wart the size of a mans fist, from a
favororite cow upon his farm, by lig'
allure with piece Of twine. This had
to be removed twice, and at the end
Of two months the wart was gone and
the wound healed entirely up. Mr.
Foster prefers this mode Of treatment
to the the caustic plan or to removal
with a knife, as being safer and more
effectual. He is undoubtedly right
in this conclusion.

The State Of Nebraska owns a

State advanced money on the church
building for school purposes and the
debt falling due, the property was
offered for sale. There being no Offer
high enough to pay the debt, the
church was bid in in the name of the
Commonwealth. It is probably the
first instance in the United States Of
a State owning a church building.

THE LUXURY OF NEW YORK HOTELS
AND THEIR TABLES.
It Is a matter of much interest

1t is Il matter Of much interest to
those who visit New York to- keep
posted about the hotels. Recently
there has been quite q rivalry among
the tirst-class hotels about their bills
of-fare, each striving to set the best
table for its guests. We speak more
particularly Of the hotels on Broad
way and Fifth Avenue-the Grand
Central being the largest, most cen
trally located, and elegantly furnish
ed. Ofthesc four or five leading no.
tells, the bills-of-tare are covered with
the names Of the most luxuriant vi
ands of the season. The bill of the
Grand Central, especially, deserves
setting apart as a notable specimen Of
modern culinary skill in the number,
variety, and richness Of its dishes. It
contains no less than eleven QD
courses for dinner, and gives the
hours for no less than six CO. meals
every day, for the moderate sum Of
So to 81 per day, including, Of course,
al elegantly furnished room for each
guest. 1t would seem from this that
the tours of our travellers and the Wis
its of our business men become rounds
of pleasure as we'll as Of business.
The panic in this country keeps
back the tide Of immigration from
Europe fully if not quite fifty per
cent. The same phenomenon has
been noticed in all preceding periods
Of business stagnation. The great
financial crisis of 1873 caused immi-
grafton suddenly to drop from nearly
10000 to half that number. So in
the year 1857, immigration number
ed 1878; but the panic came, and
the very next year we could boast of
only 1883. Last year the number
Of immigrants coming to our shores
was 26S, 1913; this year it will be about
1875 900, a tritle over one-half. It
will be at least two or three years be-
fore the rehuelt wave will return.

Visalia Items.
From the Delta Of May Il.

The fruit product will not, from what
we have observed, be very bOuntiful
one this season, in this locality.
1t rained hard during the night of
Friday, week before last, on Mussel
Slough; and the value Of crops has
been greatly enhanced thereby.
We learn that the grain heads are
very short in many fields in this
county, and that the yield is very
likely to be much lower than the esti-
mates which have been based upon
the general thrifty appearance OF the
crops. .-----
Large lots of cattle and sheep are be-
ing shipped from this and Fresno coun-
ties, by rail to San Francisco. 1t has
been difficult to get cars enough to an
swer the requirements OF this class OF
freight for the past few weeks.
A Visalia family was nearly fright
ened out of its wits, few days since,
by the sudden sickness of its members,
after eating a "hasty pudding" dinner,
One after another went out and cast
up their accounts, with internal ar,
engagements in state of armed and de-
termined insurrection. The presence
of physician restored confidence
when they were Informed that the
"hasty" effects of the pudding were
due to the indigestiblc method of put
ting things together.

Two Little Girls Drowned.
From the Vlsalia Delta of May IA.

FROM tne lSalld Oeitd Vi MAY IA.
We are called upon to chronicle one
of the most sad occurrences that ever
took place in this county, and which
carries with it moral to the whole
community, from the circumstances
which have led to such fatal results.
On Saturday last the two little girls of
James Sutherland, of Kingston, aged
about six and eight years, were taken
out to ride across the Kingston bridge,
by the nurse attending upon Mrs.
Switzerland. who was recently con-
fined. They were accompanied by the
husband of the nurse and another man,
the whole party, excepting the little
girls, being under the influence OF
liauor. After crossing some distance,
one of the men fell out of the wagon.
The rest drove on to slough and over
the bank where the water was about
ten feet deep. The children, it seems,
were left to their fate. A man on
horseback, who had seen the occur
renee, rode up and dived after the
children; but the bodies were not re-
covered until life was extinct. The
sad news fell like thunderbolt from
cloudless sky upon the bereaved par
ents, paralyzing them with grief. The
details, as we have heard them, are
too painful for record, if true, and
we forbear to give them to the public.
The funeral of the girls took place on
Monday, and was largely attended
the bodies being buried in the ceme-
terry, few miles this side of Kingston.
A coroner's inqust was held over the
bodies, but the result has not as yet
reached us. 1t is reported that the
nurse lost $500 in gold coin, and u
check for about the same amount.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-05-19
Love, the Polar Star of Woman's
Heaven.

From the cradle to the grave the
line of affection is unbroken. It be-
gins with the mother and the doll, and
ends with man or God these are easi-
ly convertible to herr often the God in
man, or the man in God. She in
stinctively and involuntarily idealizes g.,
and from her idealization ascends her
worship. Supremacy personal she
wants personality. If it be lacking
she creates it. Emblems help her to
do this; hence she delights in en-
blems. She hates distractions; they
are meaningless to her. The concrete
is the food of her heart; she would
not barter q flush of sentiment for q
field Of science. A slight caress is
dearer than principle of devotion.
She is poet and an artist from her
passion of beauty and joy in form.
Manners, modes, graces, colors, per-
fumes, sounds stir and intoxicate her.
She is sovereignty sensuous, and yet
profoundly spiritual. Full eff outward
Inconsistencies, she has yet inner har-
monies to which man is, in a double
sense, stranger. Her heart and con-
science are such neighbors that the
troubles of one disturb the peace of the
other. Her friendship, reverence, wor-
ship, conservation, sacrifice spring
from the same source. Countess Ma
tilda of Tuscany, Mary Unwin, Sophie
Swetchine, Bettina Brentano, the
princess de Lamballe were all sisters,
moved by variation of love. Relig-
ieuses become such disappointed, be-
reaved, or longing for love they fan
cy earth cannot yield. They either
incarnate divinity, or, like Clara and
Paula, divinize humanity. If woman
considered God impersonal, after the
manner of philosophers and scientists
they could not cleave to theology:
their creed, but not their faith, would
be destroyed. With their mental eye,
they see Jesus, gentle, sad, beautiful,
benignant as Mary and Martha saw
him. Wandering and preaching in
Judea, and are won to Christianity
by his essentially feminine character,
by his reflections of their ideals, by
his extreme goodness to women. For
what they believe of him they accept
any dogma they are bred to; remem-
Der the spirit of love, and forget the
tenets. There is no funda mental diff
ference between cultured woman's
faith, whatever their sect, Roman,
Mohammedan, Greek, Protestant, He
brew, they adhere to the spirit and
glide over the doctrines easily and
gracefully. 1t is said that Catholic
women instinctively, insensibly, have
Jesus in their prayerful thought
more than the Virgin, while. the men
of the church appeal to Mary; which
is at least natural, since affinity for
sex is the principle of creation. Divin-
ity generally succeeds humanity in
the feminine mind, or is a substitute
for it.-Junius Henri BrOUn in GALAXY.
