The Platform Adopted by the Denocrati,
State Convention, Ate9ust 3, 1888.

The Platform Adopted bY the Democratic
State Convention, Ate9ust 3. 1888.
We, the Democracy of Minnesota, in
convention assembled, reafhrm our devo-
ton to the time-honored maxims of the
Democratic party, that that government is
best which governs least; which leaves the
citizens in the enjoyment of the greatest
personal liberty consistent with the rights
Of others and the public welfare; and while
1t affords fell protection to life and prop
erty, allows the creeds, business ard Gus
toms Of the people to remain unfettered
by sumptusry laws, class legislation and
eXtortionate nonopolies.
First That every species of taxation
levied upon the many for the profit of the
few, creating monopolies end producing q
revenue in excess of the wants of the gov.
eminent, economically administered, is
unjust, tyrannical and dangerous. Sound
policy requires that the business of people
vexat Gus restraints, and that all legisla-
tion in reference thereto should be impair
tial in its objects and equal in its burdens.
We, therefore, favor such thorough re-
vision of the present tariff laws az will
remedy existing evils and result in the
establishment of tariff fer revenue only.
as the permanent commercial policy of
this country.
Seeond-That constitutions are made
to protect the minority Of the people
against the encroachments of the majority
that no proposition for q change OF or
amendment to the organic lew of the stale
should be en.artained or submitted to 8
vote CT the people, which If adopted by
the majority, would prevent the minority
from exercising their Inherent and ina
iienable rights. That we consi6er The en-
actmeDt of umptuary CT prohibitory laws
Q subversion OF the rights Of the people
and that We are unalternately opposed to
them.
Third-Thst We appreciate the impor-
lance OF liberal appropriations for the
improvement eff the Mississippi river; but,
inasmuch as the river and harbor bill has.
under Republican administrations, become
sn Omnibus" for the corrupt combinations
by members of congress, we would favor
the adoption OF an amendment to the con-
stitution comforting upon The president
the power 10 veto such provisions of the
river and harbor bills and all other ap-
preparation bills, as, in his Judgment, are
unwarranted.
Fourth. That the patent laws should be
rivised, to the end that the innocent pur
ehasers OF manufactured articles, using
the same in good faith, shall be protected
from harrassiDg and oppressive suits for
the infringement OF patent rights.
Resolred, That the maintenance in pow
er OF any political party for an undue
length of time tends to an assumption of
power inconsistent with democratic prin-
cipaIs Of government, and is dangerous to
the rights of the people, and We therefore
urge upon the electors of this state they
carefully investigate the existing state of
things with reference to chsnge Of state
administration in their own interests.

RED But he was nice. He chuckled to the
babies, patted boys and girls on the head. and
sat right down among the ladies and related
all the Indian legends Of Lake ST Clair.
Ever so many Of them said he was the incest
gentleman they ever saw, and ore little
woman who turned up her nose a. the idea of
his being too sweet for anything was promptly
wilted by a score Of glances.
When the boat arrived in Detroit the nice
man with the white plug hat had agreed to
see a lady and two children over to the Cen

lighted at the privilege. He had satchel in
either hand, and was in the crowd waiting
for the gangpfank when womans voice was

The nice man suddenly dropped both satch-

than his white hat went sailing, and a voice

THE SENTIMENTAL SIDE
OF Whistling on a Train at Eventime
"A Tinge of Melancholy.


R j. Burdette
The man Just in front of Us is whistling.
Now listen The man opposite has heard
him, and now he is whStfing too. The same
air or another one; nobody ever knows what
tune man on the train is whisthng save
only the whistlers self. The sad passenger
just behind Us cannot whistle, so he sings
And the man on the wood-box plays little
accompaniment to the Sbilant aria which
be whistles between his teeth by drumming
with his heels This sets four or five other
men to drumming on the windows with their
fingers Sad indeed et this hour, devoted to
railway minstrelsy, is the lot Of the man who
is crowded TO the end of the seat and has NO
window to drum upon
The tan, thin passenger addse little variety
to the general effect by winst1ing against the
strident edges Of the leaves Of book Not
one Of all these passengers bears the mellow
piping Of bis fello~-passengers. Each man
is absorbed In his own hum or whistle. And
if you can by listening intnty, and By call

whistles, you rarely hear a lively air.
