The rights Of Woman. what are they
The right to labor, love and pray.
The right to weep when others weep,
The right to axe when others sleep.
The right to dry the falling tear,
The right to quell the rising fear;
The right 10 smooth the brow Of care,
And whisper comfort to despair.
The right to watch the parting breath,
To sooth and cheer the bed Of death,
The right when earthly hopes all fail,
To point to that within the vail.
The right the Wanderer to reclaim,
And win the lost from paths Of shaLs;
The right to comfort and to bless
The widow and the fatherless.
The right the little ones TO guide,
In simple faith to Him who died;
With earnest love and gentle praise
TO bless and cheer their youthful days,
The right 10 live for those we love,
The right to die that love TO prove;
The right to brighten earthly homes
With pleasant smiles and gentle tonss.
Are these thy rights ? then use them we'll;
Thy silent influence none can tell
II these are thine, why nsk for more
Thou hast enough TO answer for.

Platform, of the National P0rty.'

Following are the resolutions, boiled
down, of the so-called National Party
as adopted at a convention held in Toledo,
Ohio, on Friday last. They declare
First-That all right to make and issue money
OF Ill kinds is vested in the Go O~ernmcnt.
second Declares against privileged classes of
creditors and in favor of legal tender notes for
debts of every kind.
Third-That the coinage of silver be placed
upon the same footing with gold.
Fourth-That buyers shall provide such mon
ey in sufficient quantities for the full employ
ment of labor and so that the rate OF interest
Fifth-That no class Of property should be
exempt from its just share of taxation.
Sixth Against donating the public lands to
railroad ana other corporations.
Seventh-ln favor of the Government encour-
aging all industrial pursuits, but legalzing no
Eignth-In favor of abolishing all useless of
fces and exercising economy and severe pun
ishmcnt for nnfaithful officials.
Ninih-Ttat hours of labor be reduced, that
the working classes may have more time for
mental Improvement.
Tentn-The adoption of an American none
tary system. as proposed herein, will harmonic
all differences in regard to tariff and Federal
taXntlon, reduce and cquaiize the cost Of trans
pOrtatOn by land and water, distribute equiia-
bly, the joint earnings of capital and labor, Sc
cure 10 the producers OF wealth the results OF
their labor and skill, muster out of the service
the vast army OF iclers who, under he existing
system. grow rich upon the earnings of others,
that every man ANA woman may by their own
efforts secure a competence, so that overgrown
fortunes and extreme poverty will be seldom
found within the limits of our Republic.
Elcventh-ROth National and State Govern
ments should establish Bureaus of Labor and
Industrial Statistics, ciOtht with the powor
( OF gathering and publishing the same.
Twelfth-That the contract system of en-
pIoyIng labor in our prisons and refOrmatOry
! institutions works great injustice TO. our
mechanics and artisans, and should be prohib-
tied,
Thirtecnth-Thc Importation of servle labor
into the United States from China is a problem
OF the most serious Importance, and we recon-
mend leg iSlation looking to its suppression.
Each resolution was received with ap-
! plause. Both vociferous and long contin-
ued cheering greeted the first plank, which
bears more directly on the financial ques-
/ tion. The whole platform was Immediately
adopted without debate, and by uuani-
nous vote.

TnK seat of James b. Reilly, the Demo

TINS seat of James B. Reilly, the Demo
cratic member of Congress from Schuylkill
county, in this State, IS contested by James
3. Nutting, Republican. y Washington
dispatch states tha, the printed testimony
in the case covers 1881 pages, and that
the dispositions Of 1885 witnesses have
been taken. Severalmaps of Mahonoy and
o-her portions of the district where it is al
legged fraudulent votes were cast accom-
pany the evidence. The cost Of printing
tue testimony will amount to $4,000 aud
81 900 copies will be furnished to the two
Houses as required 10y law, and about 5000
copies bound in calf 1t is thought that 1t
will requile he entire session of Congress
tn enable the Election Committee to ex
anime the case We should think so. Out
side of Philadelphia there is more corrupt,
illegal and crooked voting done in the two
counties of Schuylkili aud Luzerne than
in all The balance of the sixty six counties
of the State.

ONMonday last Judge Whitaker, OF New
Orleans, before whom Thomas G. Ander-
son was tried for forging and altering the
election returns of. Vernon parish, over
ruled the motion for new trial made by
Anderson's counsel, ana sentenced him to
two years imprisonment in the peniteutia-
ry. 1t is confidently asserted that Cover
nor Nichols will pardon him, and that the
State Senate will confirm the act. The
reason assigned for Gov. Nichols interfer-
euce is that n positive agreement was made
between him and the five gentlemen, of
whom Wayne MacNeagh, of this State, was
the active spirit, who were sent by Hayes
TO New Orleans last spring, that if the
troops were removed from the State House
not only past political offences should be
forgiven, but even the Returning BoaId
should not be molested. Governor Mich
oils is an honorable man, and if he made
such a bargain, which seems to be very
improbable, he will stand by it. His
prompt action or his refusal to interfere
will settle the disputed question,

This result is certainly not calculated to
inspire the advocates Of the local option
project with any confidence in their future
success. 1t will be observed that the total
vote did not reach 1000, whereas the ag-
Cregate vote in The same wards at the
Presidential election in 1876 was over 32,-
COO. 1t is apparent, therefore, that only
about one man out of every fire felt enough
interest i'm the important question OF tenn
pcrance to induce him either To vote for or
Republican editors and stump speakers to
denouace the Democratic party as the
"whiskey party" and if these six Phila-
6elplia wards were Democratic in their
politics the overwhelming vote in favor of
license. RS published above, would be pro-
claimed as conclusive evidence that the
Democracy are opposed to temperance. 1t
would he no argument, bat still Republi-
can demagogues would resort to it. 1t is
nroper. therefore, TO say that in these
wards Hayes received 1858 votes and
ridden 13, 496. giving Hayes n majority of
y ta7 The vote on the license question
simply proves that the people in the six
uards alluded to have become SO disgusted
With the practical operation OF the local
.o,tion law that they have ceased to feel

=. rmitted it to die without making the
least effort to save IS llik.

A WONDERFUL INVENTOR. "A New
York Sun reporter visited Menlo Park,
n. j., the o'her day, 20 chat with Prof.
Thomas n. Edison, the inventor of an au-
tomato telegraph, quadruplex and sextu-
plex dispatches, carbon telephone, stock
indicator, electric pen, afraphone, marvel
lous speaking phonograpb, and a score or
more OF similar machines He is also dis
coverer of the electro photograph, by which
dispatches may be telegraphed without
magnetism. Scientific men regard it as
his greatest discovery, and predict that it
Will some day prove of immense value
Alr. Edison is a man of thirty one. The
reporter gives two columns of closely
printed matter on the great inventor S
marvellous discoveries. That portion of
the article re lating to the untold wonders
OF the speaking phonograph is intensely in
terestiDg. 1t appears that Edison will be
able to make the Bedloes Island statue
talk and whistle so as to be heard for miles
around. The Sun says, editoriaIly, if the
owners of materialzed spirits could have
got hold of Prof. EGison's speaking phono-
graph and kept it from the public there
would undoubtedly have been a great re-
vlval OF spiri.ualism throughout the coun-
try with this machine a materiaized
spirit could have talked in the voice and
tone of the dead person it was supposed to
represent, and it is reasonable to infer that
the most obstinate skeptics, recognizing
the voices of their friends, would have
been willing to acknowledge that the me-
dums held communication with the shad-
owy residents of another world.
