ReDublican Platform.

The Republicans of Ohio in Conven-
tiOn assembled adopt the following reso-
lutiOns:
In the untimely death of our late be-
loved President, James A. Garfield, we
recognize great national calamity, and
we recognize that his administration
during its brief existence, gave assu-
rance of its success. We tender to Pres
ident Chester A. Arthur our assurance
of confidence in his administration and
our approval of the moderate and patri-
otic course pursued by him amid the en-
barrassing circumstances unavoidably
attending such national crisis.
Resolved, That we fully endorse the
administration of Governor Charles
Foster and the State administration of
the Republican party during the last
two years, under which the expenditures
of the State were reduced over one-half
a million dollars below the expenditures
of the Democratic administration of the
two preceding years, and the public debt
of the State reduced nearly million
and quarter of dollars and the remain
der of the debt redeemable on the 3oth
of June, 1881, refunded at a rate of in
terest below 81 per cent. per annum.
Resolved, That we condemn the terri
BILE outrages and prosecutions inflicted
upon the Jews of Russia and other sec
tions of Europe; and, while we heartily
approve the action of the Government
in its efforts to ameliorate the condition
of these unfortunate people, we earnest
ly solicit continuance of its most en-
ergetic efforts to that end.
PaoO1uod that vr-o npdNroo and Of
the principle of protection to American
industry, as adopted at the last National
Republican Convention. tat
Resolved, That the tax paying people
of the State demand that by specific
taxation the traffic in intoxicating liq-
uors shall be made to bear its share of
the public burden, and that the Consti-
tuition in so far as it may be an obstacle
in the way of the exercise by the people
through their representatives of prac-
tical control over the liquor traffic, to
the end that the evils resulting there
from may be effectually provided
against, should be amended at the earli-
est date allowed by law.
Resolved, That all laws upon the
statute books must be respected and en-
forced until repealed by legislation or
abrogated by legal authority.
Resolved, That in preserving the life
of the Nation, in giving freedom, civil
rights and suffrage to the slave in the
reconstruction of the Union, in uphold
ing the National honor and credit unim-
paired in the rapid payment of the pub
lie debt, and in the adoption Of series
of wise public measures, which have
given to the country unexampled pros
perity, the Republican party has record
for the country in the future. Proud of
this record, the Republicans of Ohio,
affirm it to be their purpose to continue
their warfare upon dishonesty and fraud
at the ballot box until pure ballot and
fair count is firmly secured to every
locality and to every citizen.

Suez. 1t is V-shaped, being seventy-two
feet wide at the bottom and 325 feet ct
the top, the depth of water being 20 feet.
1t was about 10 years under construc-
tion, and was opened on the nth of No
vember, 1869. Built by French com
pany under NJ. de Lesseps, nearly 177,-
600 out of 100000 shares were bought by
Lord Beaconsfield of the Khedive in
1875. for the aggregate sum above nam
ed. But the money is far from the chief
consideration. The chief proportion of
the shipping passing through the canal
has been British, in some years amount
ing to over so per cent. of the total. 1t
would. therefore, be ruinous to England's
Eastern commerce as well as a menace
to her Indian possessions were she to
lose the use of this great avenue. The
discovery of the passage round the Cape
of Good Hope by the Portuguese in 1897
was the first blow at the commercial
prosperity of Venice, and if the canal
ceased to exist Russia's land path to
the far East weuld become a valuable
monopoly So England has no course
left but the old one. The beginning of
strife has been said to be like the letting
out of water, and the news from the
East is likely to be exciting for some
time to come.-Cin. Gazette.

Three Short Stories.

What a world of trouble, time, and
nerve irritation would be saved if boys,
and men too, would never mind trihing
annoyances. Only the othel day we
overheard one boy telling another what
a third boy had said about him, and urg-
ing him to lick him. Oh said the sec
Ond boy, ''tisn't worth minding. He
knows it amt so, ana l won't stOop to
his level by taking any notice of it, We
inwardly thought, that's a very wise
head on young shoulders
1t reminded US of two men, one of
whom started on foot journey of $50
miles or SO. Two days later the other
man started on the same road, and on
the fourth day overlook the first one.
The latter remarked:
This is the worst and slowest road 1
ever Travelled. There is the greatest lot
of snarling, barking little dogs L ever
saw, and it has taken half my time to
drive them off,
Why said the second man, 4 didn't
pay any attention to them, but came
right along as if they weren't there
Half the time of many boys and men is
wasted in fighting tribes.
A veteran Circuit Judge was always
sure of meeting some cutting or sneer-
ing remarks from self-conceited law
yer when he came to certain town in
his rounds. This was repeated one day
at dinner, when a gentleman present
said: Judge, why don't you squelch that
fellow?'
The Judge dropped his knife aud fork,
and placing his chin upon his hands,
and his elbows upon the table, remark
ed:
up in our town widow woman has
a yallur dog that, whenever the moon
shines, goes out upon the stOop and
barks, and barks away at it all night
Stopping short, he quietly resumed eat
ing. After waiting some time, it was
asked: We'll, Judge, what of the dog and
the moon 2 oh. the moon kept right on
he said.-[American Agriculturist.

THE zeal and unanimity with which
the Democratic press of the country is
just now attacking every form of politi-
cal assessments is amusing, most par
ticularly on account of the shallowness
of their assumed virtue. 1t is within
the recollection of many men still liy-
ing when Buchanan held Sunday after
noon consultations with his advisers as
to the best way to raise campaign funds,
and when Democratic chiefs of bureaus
canvassed their departments with sub
scriptien papers in hand, and deducted
the half-involuntary donations of the
clerks from their next months pay

THE two ports of Alexandria are both
difficult of access. They are formed by
a peninsula which at the point spreads
out to the east and west. The bay on
the west is the modern harbor of Alex
andria. That on the east was the an
cient port, and the famous Pharos, or
lighthouse, is supposed to have been at
the eastern extremity of the peninsula.
A narrow ridge Of sand separates the
western harbor from Lake Mareotis
Along this ridge Arab Pasha recently
constructed his batteries, which would
be the only defense in case of an attack,
as the old walls surrounding the town
would offer no resistance.

ANOTHER death from chloroform is
reported, under circumstances which
prove that the anasthetic must be dam
gerous, since the person who admins
tered it was a physician of the highest
standing, and death took place before
the operation for which the ehloroform
had been used as preparation was un-
dertaken. The victim was Mrs. Loten
Reed, prominent member of society in
Charleston, S. c., and her attendant DR..
Klnlock, who ranks high as physician
and surgeon. Both ether and nitrous
oxyde gas are safer than chloroform.

THE Egyptian caldron is boiling. 1t

people sat down in Cleveland to witness
a grand display of pyrotechnics the eve

like flash of lightning, to the deep dis
may of the spectators, and cloud of
powder smoke and disappointment set
tied down upon the town.
