The work OF the Ohio Convention ana
Its Significance.
Baltimore Sun.

OttEtHtV'N W.
In view of Ohio's influence as an October
| State on the political action of the voters
of other States in November next, the ex-
| cellent work doue by the nominating con-
vention at Columbus, the platform adopted
and the situation thus created, deserve
more than passing notice. Every portion
of the conventions record of proceedings
bears evidence of wise discretion. The can
didstes chosen are identified with the issue
uppermost in the Ohio mind at present,
which, il is needless to say, is the policy to
be adopted with regard to spirituous and
malt LIQUORS. Judge Hoadly, the nomin ?e
for Governor, is the most prominent expo
nent the State contains of the sentiment
opposed to sumptuary legislation and in
favor of a properly graded license system.
The Republican party Of Ohio having, pre-
yious to the passage OF the Scott bill, ranged
itself on the side of prohibition-which re-
cent events in North Carolina, Ohio, lndi-
ana and Iowa have shown is the nitro-gly-
cerine Of politics-their opponents I'M
der Hoadly's leadership are enabled
to pose with telling effect as the
champions OF ''the largest liberty OF private
conduct consistent with the public welfare
and the rights OF Others" What Ohio
Democrats claim for him is that he will be
a strong card among the Germans OF the
cities. gaining for the ticket in Cleveland
1000 and in Cincinnati 1000 more votes
than any other candidate they could name,
and that he will hold the Democratic vote
throughout the State, and, not improbably,
attract a considerable number Of Republi-
can votes. He is, moreover, an able cam
paigner, discreet, moderate, and likely to
make the best fghtth the situation will allow.
The other nominees are Of less importance
to the general voter, but the ticket as q
whole is conceded by Republicans to be
strong and well arranged" The same may
be said o tbe platform. The Ohio Democrats,
seeing that a tariff must continue to exist
as long as the government needs revenue,
and that every tariff laid on imported
manufactures must be to some extent in
cidentally protective. wisely contine them
serves 10 tue pTdCtlCdI dSpeCA VI tnS taiAf
question, and pronounce in favor of just
so much protection as results from a tariff
laid to support the government when
economically administered. What the
Ohio platform says on this subject is the
m.re important from the fact that it is
what a party which expects to win in a
great manufacturing as we'll as agricultural
State thinks it may with safety say IN this
burning issue. IL is as follows: 1--WE favor
a tariff for revenue, limited to the necessi.
ties of a government economically admin
istered, and so adjusted In its application
as to prevent unequal burdens, encourage
productive interests at home, and afford
just compensation to labor, but not to create
or foster mopopolies." This utterance from
a State heretofore republican puts to the
blush the weak platitudes CT the Kentucky
platform, and cannot fail to exert a de-
cided influence in giving backbone to dem
ocratic platforms yet to be framed.

THE movement in Dakota for a divis.

We have no doubt but that they will
even forget the re-assessment. which has
so long furnished material for their cam
paign thunder, and turn their whole at
tention to the University. We are warned
that the fight is Just begun, that from thi:
time henceforth it is to be continued with
increasing yehemsnce until q revolution
is accomplished. As this is not the first
time, however, that the University has
been the recipient Of such attacks, we
have q faint premonition that in spite Of
the onslaught of our Republican brethren,
it will yet survive and continue on in the
even tenor Of its way as if nothing unusual
had happened.

floating gardens in Kashmir, in Eastern
Asia, the more 50 that they are the work
of an essentially indolent population.
For their creation an expanse of water
about nine miles in circumference has
been utilized. on which masses of weeds,
grasses and aquatic plants grow and be-
come intertwined and entangled. These
form the soil. A. it were, on which cult

IN them, they are cut level with the sur
face of the water and then banked over
with river mud. properly prepared for the
purpose. This soil is sown with melons
and cucumber plants, and a crop is raised
which is unequalled in any country in
quantity and quality. These melons and
cueumbers are sold in coed season at
the rate OF ten or twenty for two cents;
in dear seasons they bring two cents
apiece. Floating gardens in Mexico are
upon much the same plan. but are usually
