The loss ot the steamer Alpena on Lake Michigan during the storm of last Friday the 18th, has been the topic of conversation all over the country, not only because of the loss of life that attended it, but also with the mystery with which it was enveloped up to last night. Then. and not till then, was it explained. It seems that on the night of the storm a terrific wind struck the Alpena when she was about fifty miles off the Wisconsin coast. The vessel was thrown on her beams end and slowly fighting herself. plunged through the water on her mad course at the ate of twenty-five miles an hour. This was at o'clock in the af- ternoon. Ten o'clock came, and still the doomed vessel flew before the hur- ricane, leaving mass of white foam behind her that covered the leaping waves as a snow storm covers suc- cession of bristling hillocks. All at once there came a vivid flash of light> ming that lit up the water for miles around. The lookout, who was lashed to the maintop, saw an immense black mass ahead, "Breakers on the larboard bow,o he shouted. The steersman heard, and jammed his helm down, striving to force the ship 10 the star board. Too late! In Jess than two minutes she struck the rocks. Then there came mighty shock, shiyering sound as the stout timbers were crushs ed like matches, and tine Alpena was carried of by the next wave, and giv- ing tremendous lurch went down stern foremost, carrying with her every soul on board. Only few minutes more, and she would have answered the helm and escaped the rocks. Time is everything and the only way to be certain about time is to get one of Thayer's celebrated watches which never vary For get cut of order. His elegant establishment, at the corner of Main and West Court street, is the headquarters for all kinds of time-pieccs and jewelry. A large and complete assortment of sIlyerware of the latest patterns always kept in stock.

A GOOD PLATFORM.

At meeting et the democratic editors of Northern Indiana, held ir Fort Wayne, on the 18th inst, tho political situation of the country and the future of the democratic party were elaboratcly discussed.
 After a full and free interchange of opinion, it was unanimously agreed that the following points should at once he pressed upon the attention of the American people:
 First-A change of the constitu- ton of the United States, providing for the election of the president and vice president by the popular vote, The cumbersome, and, in many re. spects. dangerous machinery of the electoral college, and the supervis- ionary power of congress in a parti- san sense, has made manifest the necessity of radical change ln this particular.
 Second-The election of United States senators by the people of the several states instead of by the leg. islatures thereof This step is deem ed necessary in order so free, as far as possible, the election of members of the legislature from purely partI san considerations, to the end that legislation may be secured in ac cordance with tue domestic wants of the state.
 Third-A malicious revision of the present unjust and discriminat ing tariff Tn tho interest of the pro ducing and industrial classes. This work to be performed under the guidance of men capable of dealing intelligently with the question of political economy instead of pander. ing to the whims and crude notions of demagogues and stipendaries.
 Fourtn-Vigorous opposition to the introduction of cheap Mongolian labor, with view to preserving and promoting the dignity of intelligent labor.
 Flfth-Appropriate legislation by congress, for the taxation of green backs like other money.
 Sixth--Cultivation of whole. some public sentiment in opposition to the controlling of elections by the dependents of the national admins tration, high and low, and against the exercise of coercive measures on the part of corporations. in interfer- ing with the elective franchise of their employees.
 Seventh-A movement for secur- ing the holding of elections in all the states at one and the same day, tO-wit; On the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.
 Eighth-Beieving that the pros. porous condition O. the country. SO far as the same has been affected by legislation, furnishes abundant proof of the wisdom ei democratic con

RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION.

We give below an article taken from the Little Rock Gazette which contains information of interest to the people of this section. From the movements described in this article we judge that the stockholders n the consolidated scheme purpose pushing the road to early compile tion. Tue Gazette says:
 A representative of the Gazette obtained clew of the consolidation of several railroad companies in pur suaace of a far-rcaching plan, and following up the information succeed ed in learning the full particulars. During the last few years articles of association of several railroads have been filed with the secretary Of state. These roads make a connected line through the state and end not a great distance from the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Gulf railroad. For the completer illustration of the route, it will be best to mention the roads and their nominations: The Camden and Monroe railroad, which runs from Camden to the state line and connects with the Monroe and and Arkansas railroad, of Louisiana; i; the Ouachita Valley railroad as re organized, which runs from Camden to Arkadelphia; the Philadelphia, Dardanelle and Russellville railroad, from Arkadelphia to Russellyille; :; the Russellyille, Harrison and State Line railroad, ending at the state line between Arkansas and Missouri, in the proper place for connection with the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Gulf railroad. These Arkansas roads and the Monroe La. and Ar kansas railroads have been consoli- dated. and with a continuation of the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Gulf railroad, will form continuous line from Kansas City to Monroe, La. The roads will be under one general management, as all the stockholders are the same. They are different corporations, but this will not prevent general manage ment of the whole.
 The following comprise the stock holders: Col. Lawson, of Donald, Lawson & Simpson, bankers. New York; Col. Hume, of New York; Gov. Wm. R. Miller, of Arkansas; Mir. $. T. Brown, Little Rock, Messrs. Newman and Jacob Erb, Little Rock; Mir. Abe Pennington and Senator Gantt. The contract between the Kansas City. Fort Scott and Gulf road and the Arkansas roads, has been signed, and by It's provisions the former road will con- tinGe it's line, which is now in work ing order fo: about 800 miles, and has nearly reached Springfield, Mo-. and connecting line between that point and Russellville, or Harrison, Ark. The contemplated length of the Arkansas line is 2S0 miles. The plan is a well conceived one, and it seems to have fallen into the hands of men of ability. It is expected that active work will be commenced on the roads within a month. Such an enterprise will meet with the ap- proval of all wide awake men Tn the state who are anxious for Arkansas to be developed.

Some republican papers gre ad- vising democrats to add to their already too long list of party blun. ders, the unpardonable sin of casting the solid electoral vote of tho south for Garfield, thus making his cleo tion unanimous. Such an act of humiliation on the part of democrats would betoken an abandonment of their principles and the decay of their party organization, and as such, would be pleasing spectacle to tho republican party. But the democratic party is made of no such stuff, and the republicans desire will not be gratified.

 backs, we protest against any tink- ering with the finances of the conn ltrys and hereby express an unquali
 fled condemnation or the presumptn- ous proposition of Secretary Sher man.
 Ninth--A demand upon the pres ent congress to institute thorough and searching investigation Of the charges that the apparent majority for Garfield and Arthur in the state of New York was obtained by fraud ulent and illegal means, to the end that justice may be done to all par ties, and for tue removal of all doubt from the minds of advocates of pure elections as to the genuineness of the verdict of the ballot, so that if it shall appear upon such inyestiga ton that Mr. Garfield is justly entis tied to the electoral vote of the state of New York he may enjoy the re- spect of the entire people as the lawfully chosen president of the United States. If. on the other hand. it should be made to appear plainly and unmistakably that the result was brought about by fraudu- lent mcane, and in violation of the election laws of that state, we de mand of congress firm and unyield
 ing stand in favor of such action as will secure to the people the services of the noble soldier-statesman Win field Scott Hancock as their chief executive officer.
