PENNSYLVANIA Democrats.

The democratic state convention of
June 2S. 1t was the largest and most
enthusiastic convention ever held In
the state. The Hon. Geo. M. Dallas
was made permanent president. r. E.
Pattison was nominated for governor,
and the following platform was adopted:
PLATFORM.
The democratic party of Pennsylvania, hold
ing fast to the faith that all power not delegated
by the constitution is reserved TO the state and
people, unfolding the sanctity of personal liber-
ty, security of private property and the right to
local support; demanding honesty and economy
in the administration of the government, and
the enforcement of all provisions os the csnsttu-
ton by the legislature and courts Of the COM
monwealth; declaring against monopolies and in
sympathy with labor seeking its protection; and
IN favor of the industrial interests of Pennsylya
MIA at this time do solemnly protest against the
evils which the policy and practices of the re-
publican party, and the insolence of its long pos
session of office have thus brought upon the
country; therefore
First-We do protest against what is called the
boss system, and also the plundering of office
holders by assessment of money for political pur-
poses. The public offices are the property of no
party, but are open TO every citizen, honest, ca
pahle and faithful Is the constitution, quahhca-
tions which Jefferson said the requisites for
office.
Sccond-We protest against the spoils system,
its prostitution Of offices of the people so that
they become the mere perquisites of politicians.
Third-We denounee all Reputation of state
and federal debts, because it is dishonest and
destructive of that public morality upon which
are founded the existence and perpetuity of our
free institutions It should be made a crime;
and the political party that aids It or aoets 1t
with Office. deserves public condemnation.
Fourth-We denounce speculation in the state
treasury. and immunity by pardon OF those con-
yicted Of crimes. Those acts were fragrant sub
missions Of official trusts and wrongs done the
people.
Fifth-We believe the republican party as now
organized and controlled Is based in frauds force
and corruption, and there can be no hope OF true
reform, except by force of the ballot box. exelud-
ing it from place aEd power.

War Among the SnuatterS.

Fort Totten Special to the Grand
Forks Herald: considerable trouble and
Some fighting is going on over on the
north side of the AXE. There are sew
eral hundred squstters over there, and
some it is claimed are holding more
land than the law allows. The new
settlers coming into the country try to
squat on the land which the other
parties claim, ard a fight ensues in
which knives and revolvers are freely
used. AS yet no one has been killed,
though one man named Hance was
struck with club and seriously hurt.
A party of twenty is trying to hold
tract of fine timber of over $500 acres.
Whenever anyone attempts to squat
on it they are driven off at the point of
revolvers. They will not state where
their stakes are, or where or how much
they claim. They are thus able to
cover great deal more territory than
the law allows. Trouble is anticipated,
and the fort commandant threatens to
interfere to prevent bloodshed.
Parties Just in from devils lake corr
oberate the above statement, and give
additional facts, which the Herald con-
respondent, who IS at the fort, would
not care to divulge. 1t is rumored,
though there is nc proof of the fact,
that Lieut.. Creel of the fort has employ
ed the twenty men above mentioned to
hold nearly 1900 acres of timber until
such time as it shall come into market.
The men. of course, will not state
who is employing them. They are well
drilled, and have code of signals by
which they communicate with each
other. When squatter attempts to
settle as stated, they gather to the num-
Der of ten or dozen and tear down
his shanty, driving him off by threats
of killing. The leader of the gang is an
ex-Montana cowboy, who is slightly
known in this section. About a week
ago poor man came to the fort with
a story to the effect that his shanty had
been torn to pieces, and that he mad
been ordered to leave the country. He
had wife and several small children,
who were exposed all night without
shelter.

THE PRESENT GHEDIyE OF EGYPT.
His Lack of Ambition and Correct
Private Life.
London Tr,,tb


Tewfik is the son of slave, and his
father, Ismail, in changing the order of
succession, never intended that he
should be the heir. The ex-khedive
gave the place of legitimate spouse to
another woman, who is now staying
with him in Naples. Ismail intended
to establish the Napoleonic distinction
between a civil and royal family. He
was encouraged to hope that he might
purchase the right to do so by the late
sultan. But when Abdul Aziz found
there was no more money to be ex-
tracted from the khedive, and learned
that Tewfik was easy tempered and
very ignorant, he insisted upon his
right of primogenIure being respected.
Only few intriguing friends, who had
secretly backed his luck, when Ismail
was at Cairo, knew that he was not SO
ignorant rs he made believe. One of
them was Signor MARITIME, the cousin of
his Italian friend and now his private
secretary.
Tewfk was supposed to be in the
hands of MARITIME. This was an error.
He had a very clever wife, and was
uxorious. The Hanem Emeneh feared
no rival. 1t wasshe who would reign,
and she was an Anglomaniac. Her
dearest friends were English ladies'
Whenever the khedive gives an audi
ence to a minister or foreign consul the
Hanem Emeneh is posted behind q
screen of carved wood, where she hears
and sees, bat remains invisible! One
day a conversation between the French
Comptroller and Tewfk was suddenly
interrupted by an alteration behind
the screen. The disputants were En-
eneh and her mother-in-law who is
jealous of her influence, and is super
stitious, ill-tempered old woman, who
thinks that it was by virtue of her in
carnations that Isnail was deposed. If
the old lady had her own way, sor-
cercr would have been placed over the
cabinet when her son began his reign.
Tewfik would be delighted if Emeneh
had stronger belief in sorcery. His
faith in the supernatural, such as has
been revealed to him by his mother, is
absolute.
He is fond of the companionship of
children, and himself directs all the
Christmas and other juvenile parties
that are given by lis three young peo-
pie. The eldest Of the trio is twelve
years old, and themost youthful, Prin-
cess Kadshat, is in her fourth year. A
prodigious quantity of roman candles
and bengal lighs are consumed at
these fetes, to which the children of
distinguished Europeans at Cairo are
invited.
AS ruler, Tewik has adhered to
the constitutional theory of govern
ment. He is satisfied with drawing his
pay, and leaving 70 his ministers all re-
sponsibility. Whatever they decree
he countersigns, aud asks no questions
except behind he scenes. where he
applies for information and advice to
the shrewd Martiao.
Tewfk has never been in the money
market. If there's one thing in which
he is firm, it is il the auditing of his
household accounts. which he looks
into carefully. His good nature shows
itself in Thousand small ways, but
never in profueness. Cairo is no
longer the Eden of the Palais Royal
actress.

THE situation in Egypt is becoming
more critical hourly. The wild fanat-
ism of the natives is directed against
all Europeans, especially the English,
and they will be the chief among the
mourners in the end. The European
engineers in charge of the water sup
ply at Cairo and Alexandria have been
driven far from their posts and wa
ter famine is imminent. Specie IS be-
ing withdrawn by foreign capitalists in

sufferers by the withdrawal of foreign
capital. As they make their bed so
may they lie in it..

THE Pennsylvania independent re-
publicans are exasperated, because they
say the President is helping Senator
Cameron in his war upon them-that
he is making all the appointments in
the state to suit Mr.. Cameron, and
using all the power and patronage OF
the administration in his favor. They
hold that the President has no right to
interfere in the local politics of state
in this way-that it is injurious to the
party, which ought in such cases to be
allowed to settle its Disputes without in
