OUR PLATFORM.

Amid the turmoil and collision of personal
ambition, one thing at least was we'll done at
Keyser. The friends of Mr. Lucas, through
the Hon. James II. Grove, their representa-
tive on the Committee on Resolutions, pre-
sented and carried through their Resolutions
as follows:
Rt'elpsd, That the Democracy of the Second
DstTict OF W est Virginia hail, with pleasure
Conservative Democracy, with its adherence TO
the original principles of civil liberty as estab-
hshea by our forefathers.
we demand strict construction of the Con-
stitution of the United States. economy in the
plIcity in its administration capacity and Gde
1ty IN ohcIals. and responsibility of monopoles
and corporations to and their regulation Gy the

publican party for its many and fragrant viola
IONS OF tnelr principles IN its disregard of the
Sonstltutloa' IN Its assumption of pOwors be-
longing to the States, and its reckless cxtray-
agance IN the expenditure of the public money
Unless wo greatly mistake the signs of the
times, Mr.. Lucas has struck the keynote of
the extpresidential campaign A return to
the principles of Thomas Jefferson as an
nounced by himself, and practiced in his adj
ministrntion, is what the country needs.-
Said he: 'I am for government rigorous7y
frugal and simple"
I, Do we not need return to that sort of
government, instead of one, that spends
1870, 100000 year.7
Again he says: s'I am not for a nnu1tip1i-
cation Of o6icers and salaries ,ezy to make
partisans."
And yet at this day, We have so>called
Democrats, (such as the present Representa-,
tive from this District in Congress- who ia,

Once more, says Jefferson "stll one
thing more, fellow citizens, ,oise and tlu.
gdt government, sehich shall not take from
the mouth Of labor the bread it has earned"
And yet our laboring mon are asked to
send man back to Congress, who voted for
the Tariff Commission, device intended to
perpetuate the present Ubiquitous tariff, which
taxes every labOring man t,co and one hazt
per cent. this earnings; and for the River

of s1S,000,000! Oh! for Jeffersonian
Democrat in Congress who would not vote to

earned!

EDUCATING THE MASSES.

On the subject of education, the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat, under
the head of Education and Con
gress," has considerable to say, from
which article we make the following
extract:
It is gratifying to note that our
legislators, both national and State,
evince an increasing appreciation of
the importance of education. Many
Of them see in it the solution of the
Southern political troubles, and also
that of the Indian question. Per
haps, in truth, it comes as near being
a universal social panacea as any
thing that can be mentioned. When
Senator B:own, of Georgia, made
his memorable departure from the
old Democratic dOctriue OF State
rights and besought the ma
tional government to pay atten>
ton TO the cause of educa-
ton in the Southern States, his
appeal was well received throughout
the North, and Congress might have
safely done much more than it did
in response to it. There were some
insignificant appropriations of land
made, and the subject was dropped.
But it has come up again during the
present session with an accession OF
force, though unfortunately not one
of method.
From the fact the matter is being
agitated it is fair to suppose that the
idea is working it's way in the Con-
gressional brain toward a conference
of plan, even if no visible evidence
of that kind of progress appees's
above the surface. There is d gen
eral unity sof sentiment in favor OF
encouraging education, but no such
unity as to the manner in which il
shall be done.
After speaking of Senator Logan's
bill, and other efforts in that direc>
ton, it continues as follows:
1T remains to be settled whether
whatever is given by the nation tC
the several States shall be divided
according to the illiteracy of the
people or merely with reference te
the population. Senator Logan's
bill at first provided for the formel
method, but was subsequently
amended so as to place the distribu'
ton on the latter basis. There il
room for discussion on this point
certainly The South needs hell
much more than the North. 1t haI
not only much less taxable property
but a very greatly larger lliterat
class. Ii the fund, whatever it ma
be, is to be placed where it is to d
the nation at large the most good,
can scarcely be distributed on th
population basis alone. l.

TIE New York Evening Post has
the following to say about the
Presidents veto of the anti Chinese
bill:
The President has vetoed the anti
Chinese bill for the somewhat obvi-
our reasons which have been already
set forth in these columns as fatal
objections to it. The first is that it
violates the treaty-if not in the let
ter, in the spirit. Twenty years
suspension Of immigration, he holds,
rs every candid man must hold,
amounts to prohibition; and he
shows, by copious citations from the
protocol of the negotiations which
p.=reded the treaty, that the CHR
Ms commissioners took firm
stand against prohibition, and I'M
derstood, and were allowed to under
stand, that suspension or ''limi>
tation meant simply prohibition
! for not more than five years, or
for alternate years, so to keep the
number of Chinese in this country
within the limits which the United
| States might think desirable In the
interest of peace and good order.
/ Twenty years suspension would ex-
clude a generation, and Is, therefore,
not reasonable. The Presidents
remarks on the proposed INTRODUCES
ton of the odious passport system
| into the United States at the moment
when lit is fast disappearing in Eu-
rope before the progress OF liberal
institutions, in which he stigmatizes
it is 'undemocratic and hostile to
the spirit of our institu-
tons, Will be read with
deep satisfaction by everybody who
thinks that the spirit of our institu
tons is the spirit of freedom The
passage of bill containing such q
provision ought to put mark on
every man who voted for it by which
voters would recognize him and give
him his deserts every time he offered
himself for election.
No part OF the Presidents argu-
ment is, however, so Welghty as that
in which he points out the enormous
folly of which the Pacific Slope will
be guilty if it quarrels with China or
alienates the Chinese. The opening
of the East to Western trade is the
greatest fact in the more recent COM
mercial history. There lisa fair pros>
pect that within very few years the
traffic both of Europe and America
with Asia Will reach dimensions as
yet undreamed of; and China, both
owing to it's natural resources
and the character of its popu-
lation, is likely to be the best
market in Asia and, what is perhaps
more to our purpose, the Chinese
are likely to do the largest part of
the business OF exchange between
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1882-04-08
the East and West. They have al

the East and West. They have all
ready, to a very large extent, taken
the Chinese trade out of the hands
of the English, who have so long
held it, and they will undoubtedly
largely control it's current hereafter.
No country is SO favorably situated
for large share in this trade as our
Pacific States; none have thus far
profted more by it. To divert it to
other channels now by treating the
Chinese with hostility, and display
ing against them the old barbarous
spirit of seclusion which they are
gradually throwing off, would be a
mistake of such magnitude that we
can hardly believe The people OF
that region will, ON sober second
thought, be guilty of it.
