Students, while dissectng, are dressed
in long gowns, fastened loose around
them to protect their clothing from the
juices constantly running from the dead

room is kept clean and disinfccted, the
odor is comparatively slight; but as this
is not always the case, the stomachs of
those not used to this work are complete

arr seldom used, as it is not very pleas

LONDON, February D.-The Rome
correspondent of the Times, in q letter
TO that journal. dated the fourteenth of

Cardinal Peeci, who was to- day elected
pope: "Pecci has fine head, high
forehead, narrowing at the temples, q
long face and straight features. He
has large mouth and chin, cheerful
open eountensnce aud large WELL
shaped ears. His face reminds one of
Consulvi, the removed minister OF Plus

great dignity, even austerity of mans

The general opinion is tn at fer learn

His private life, At all periods, is above

ROME, February 2l.-IB the first bal
lot on the morning of the 18th a few
cardinals voted for Peeci. AT the
evening ballot his vote suddenly in>
creased TO thirty five, and on the fol-
lowing morning he finally obtained
forty-four votes. a large number Of
congratulatory kilograms from sover-

the new pope.
On good authority It Is stated that

THE INDIANA PLATFORM.

The platform of the Indiana democ-
raey, is framed so that it would make,
with but little explanation, an excellent
rule OF action for us here in Texas, and
it is broad enough and suffici emily catho-
lie to serve as a platform for the nation,
al, instead OF the state democracy for
whom it was framed, and by whom il
was adopted. The policy, with regard
to the currency expressed by this plat
form is without doubt, the policy of a
large majority of the party. but more
especially in the western and southern
states. The retirement Of the national
bank notes, the issuance of treasury
notes, with full iegaI.tender qualities,
the making of the greenback note full
iegal>tender. excepting in those cases
where there is specific contract or un-
derstanding to the contrary, are all
of them the very soundest of finan>
cial doctrines for the times. and circum-
stances by which we are surrounded to-
day. The plank declaring tha, the gov.
ernment shall have the exclusive power
to issue paper money, as well as coin
and that the states shall have the right
to Tax all kinds and species of none,
without exception is very sound, because
il is exactly fair. With thissort of polio,
United States money in the shape o
bonds cannot be boarded. and suf.
fered to go free from taxation, wher
the solitary pig Of the latorer, and th,
very smokehouse of the small farmer
must pay tribute to the financial Cesar
of the east. Indeed. the Indiana de
mocracy has certainly struck the key
note OF the future policy Of not only tn
democratic party. but the nation. an.
all shades Of political opinions and pow
ers on this point.

affair with coolness and indifference

settled the silver business, and the
Indiana democracy will have no cause
| to complain or caYil at the settlement.
and that fact is an earnest OF what is
evident now to all, viz: the final and
speedy adoption OF the entire financial
policy iimned out by this most aimirs-
Bile platform
The repeal of the resumption act is
now only question OF time Thepolicy
as indicated by the passage of the silver
bill viii effect that without much delay,
or so alter the character of the financial
policy of the nation as to render that
Law nagstory, or but dead letter on
our statue books. Rigid economy and
| reduction of fees and salaries, is also
on the line OF true reform. Our obser-
vation of the workings of the bankrupt
law in Texas incline US very strongly to
its repeal, and that must be the voice OF
every honest man in the country. The
justice of the policy with regard to
claims for labor becoming first lein is
too evident to require argument. Every
safeguard and protection should be
furnished to honest labor and it should
have every possible guarantee that its
earnings will be paid. He who feeds
his little ones only by his daily toll, has
no time. or money either, to waste on
costly and vekatious litigation, lest the
wolf will approach the door while he is
wrestling with capital for his honest
dues.
THE democratic party is the friend
of the common school system" Thus
saith the Indiana democracy. and it is
truthful saying and worthy of all accep.
tation. 1t is the party of progress, and
the universal and free education CT the
masses is squarely in the line of the en-
hehtened progress of the age The
plank regarding subsidies and the loan,
ing OF the publis credit, is but the re-
stating of an old democratic doctrine.
but it must not be construed AS affect-
ing that great measure of Justice, the
Texas and Pacific rosd, That act per.
formed, aud the policy will and must
become the universal Law OF the land.
The Indiana democracy gives out no
uncertain sound regarding the base
fraud by which the people were cheated
out of their hard earned victory and
by which Mr.. Hayes is enabled to res
ward the creatures who served him so
we'll on the returning boards, and be-
fore the commission. 1t is q withering
rebuke aut. one which will ring in the
ears of the radical party to the knell of
time. We believe the Indiana democ>
racy has thus promulgated policy and
put out a platform which viii meet the
hearty concurrence of the Texas de.
