St. Nicholas for August.

We doubt if these vscation-days yield
any pleasure to the young readers of s.
Nicholas greater than that of the maya
zine. No days are too hot for the exer.
else it affords; no mOnotOny is 80 fixed
but it will vanish before the appearances
of this monthly novelty.
As for the visitor itself, St. Nicholas
wears always the jolly face which the
good saint whose name it bears puts on
during the holidsys-is rs merry and
cheerful in the open air as at the Preside.
1t brings US this month series of ex-
cellent contributions, all interesting and
some of them pleasantly suggestive Of
mountain air and sea-breezes. "The
Cruise Of the Crusoe" for instance "a pro.
longed boat journey such IS almost eve.

Of these summer days., hardly needs il.
lustration, since it is itself very perfect
picture; yet it has six characteristic and
familiar scenes in pencil. There is an
interesting paper on Umbrellas, with a
picture of the first umbrella in the
streets of London. "a Gunpowder
Plot" is the story of an assault upon a
hornets TEST, in which the strategy of
the attacking party. has to contend
against the power and numbers of the
garrison, and is natural, humorous and
pathetic, appealing strongly to the in
terests of all boys. Rose Terry Cooke
gives us q lively controversy in rhyme
between two chickens on that familiar
subject-always a fruitful source of con.
tention-the origin of the species.
Besides all this and much more, there
are stories by Helen G. Weeks and Emil
ly Huntington Miller, q paper on the
collection and preservation of "sea-
weeds;" description of "A Boarding
School in 1870" and q delightful story
tor girls, "The Pine-stick DOLL" with its
beautiful llustration-the frontispiece of
the number-drawn by Miss Jessie Cur
It's.
"Jack-in-the-P Pulpit" with its para
grams and conundrums, is still as wise
and witty as ever and worthy of notice
also is bright little jingle called "Hans
the Small Esquimax," with its picture,
in which the iceberg is as refreshing to
us as the Polar Bear is terrifying to the
little fur-clad northerner.

MINNESOTA REPUBLICANS.

The Republicans of Minnesota met in
State convention at St. Paul on the 18th
inst, and nominated q ticket headed by
John J. Pillsbury for Governor and
James B. Wakefield for Lieutenant Gov.
ernor. The following is the platform
adopted:
First-The Republicans of Minnesota
reaffirm the cardinal principles of their
party, which have become the established
policy of both state aud national govern
ments.
Second-That on the prominent ques-
tions of the day, we favor that policy Of
finance which shall keep in view q return
to specie payments.
Third-A tariff strictly for revenue,
yet so adjusted as to be least burdensome
and most favorable to the interests of
home industry and labor.
FOurth-We demand that all railway
and other corporations shall be held in
fair and just subsection to the law max
ing power constitutionally exercised.
Fifth-That we endorse the progress
i've and liberal policy of the Republican
party in its we'll defined and clearly an
nounced purpose to foster the agricultur-
al industrial interests of the country by q
judicious system of internal improve
ments.
Sixth-That to the Republican party
is justly due the honor and credit Of Sc
curing, for the first time, recognition by
foreign governments, and full and COM
plete rights of citizenship, in reversal of
the monarchal doctrine that a subject
can not absolve himself from allegiance
to his sovereign by naturalization under
our laws.
Seventh-We commend the honesty OF
the State administration, and point with
satisfaction to the fact that it has reduced
the aggregate of state taxes twenty per
cent within the last two years.
Eighth-That the example of WASH
ington in refusing to be a candidate for
the third term, and affirmed by President
Grant that the principle is one we sac.
redly cherish, and should regard a de-
parture from it as dangerous innovation.
Ninth-That we approve of the present
Republican national administration, and
its earnest efforts to collect the revenue,
to prevent and punish fraud, to expose
past violations and TO guard against their
recurrence in the future.
Tenth-We indorse the policy of ad-
justing difficulties between this and for.
eign nations by arbitration instead of
war.
ELEVENTH. grateful people can new
er forget the services of her soldiers, and
it is due to them that liberality and gen.
erosity should be exercised in matters of
bounty and pensions.
Twelfth-That since purity and per-
manency of free institutions of govern
ment depend upon the universal diffusion
of knowledge among the people, the Re.
publican party of Minnesota affirms its
connection that it is the duty of the
State, not only to maintain the integri>
ty of the common school system. but to
do all that is needful, so as to increase
efficiency. so As to secure the blessings of
q wise and generous education to every
child within its borders.

The publishers of Scribner call atten

ALMOST every paper in the State i
filled with glowing accounts of the big
crops in Kansas this season. The news.
papers have wisely determined to adver.
tise our prosperity more extensively
than they did the grasshoppers and the
aid business. Some of our papers may
occasionally overdo the thing, as for in.
stance where they state that corn stalks
are twenty-five feet high with from
twelve to fifteen ears tu the stalk, this
is merely figurative, and they simply
mean that such prospect for corn was
never before seen in any country.

The DEMOCRACY AND q. s. BONDS.

Governor Allen and S. F. Cary, can
didates on the Democratic ticket of Ohio
for Governor and Lieutenant Governor
of that state are publicly denouncing
holders of u. 8. bonds as "coupon-elip-
pers," thieves" "plunderers," etc. In
response to these charges the New York
Times says that the holders of these bonds
have paid the full value of them-and in
most instances above their par value in
gold-and asks these gentlemen to tell
the people wherein the transaction is not
honest and legitimate. According to Mr..
Cary man is thief because he invests
his money in security, the safety Of
which is guaranteed by the United
States. This gentleman was once a not.
ed temperance lecturer, and if in defense
of that cause he paid as little regard to
truth as be does in politics the best thing
he ever done for it was to desert it aud
60 to making Democratic speeches, for in
the latter business it is expected of him
that he deal in buncombe and draw upon
his Imagination for facts. The Times
closes its comments on this subject as
follows:
And now see in what a position this
places the whole country. At this very
moment the United States, through their
Government and its agents, are making
strenuous efforts to sell these very bonds,
not only in the United States, but all
over Europe. Everything has been done
to induce people everywhere to place the
utmost confidence in them. They form
. security which fathers and mothers are
tempted to buy and lay aside for their
children. As we have shown, they can
only be bought at a sum which is above
their face value. And yet, while the
government is endeavoring to sell them
for the sake of causing great saving in
the interest on our debt, the Democrats
Of the vast State of Ohio are exciting
popular clamOr against all who buy
them as "coupon-clippers" and thieves"
They argue as if these bonds were given
away to a "moneyed aristocracy." If
the people generally took up this cry,
what could be said or thought of us ex-
cept that we were nation of swindlers?
For here we should be, selling security
to-day under the most solemn obligations
of good faith, which we had deliberately
made up our minds to repudiate to-mor-
row. Pray. who would be the thief in
such case as that-the buyer or the
seller? A more infamous course than
that which is being pursued by the two
chief candidates on the Democratic ticket
in Ohio is not recorded in political his
tory. 1t is worthy only of foot pads.
