Elastic Resolutions.

Everybody knows that party plat
forms are Synonymous for emptiness,
hypocrisy and deceptiveness. When they
are not amusing they are generally con-
temptible. The platform of the late
Harrisburg Convention is both.
In brace of resolutions we are told
that James A. Garfield "exemplified in
his whole life and public career all
those principles which constitute the
highest type of manhood" and few
lines further down we are Informed
that Chester A. Arthur is ''wise, con
ciliatory and efficient President enti
tied to the support of every Republi-
can.
The man or men entrusted with the
framing of the resolutions must, in pen
ming those lines, have felt some sense
of the ridiculous in commencing in the
same breath two men whose political
tendencies were each the antipodes Of
the other-one breaking down what
the other built up. A eulogy of Gar
field and of Arthur is too much in the
nature of ludicrous, if not painful
contrast.
We have no doubt that the leaders
of the convention really thought what
they said of Arthur, but the Garfield
resolution was in their mind nothing
more than a mere vapid formality for
tickling the sentiment of the party.
The Garfield "principles," which they
speak OF, they gave their most strenu
Gus efforts of their life to crushing
out; they knew perfectly well that those
principles were never meant for theil
good their real view of Garfield is tha,
he was timid, false and treacherous
1t is this kind of hypocrisy in platforms
which becomes rank and intolerable

the plans, specifications and estimates
of the engineers department of the
army which. having been approved by
the Secretary of War; may be adopted
by the commission for such parts of the
river as the commission may not have
the survey of. 1t provides, however,
that no portion of this appropriation
shall be expended to repair or build
levees for the sole and exclusive pur-
pose of reclaiming lands Or preventing
injuries to lands by overhows. The
aggregate amount appropriated by the
bill for the improvement of rivers and
harbors exclusive of the amount ap-
propriated for the Mississippi and Mis-
souri, rivers) is about ten and one-half
