THE FIRST PLANK,

CHICAGO, July AT midnight the
committee on platforms had not COM
pleted It's work, having been in session
thirty-six hours on the subject oftariff.
A great variety OF PROPOSE
lions were made this afternoon.
Messrs. Hewitt, Watteison and Burke
constructed out of these propositions Il
tariff plank. This was taken AS "A basis
OF discussion, and II was finally
shaped so as to meet the approval of
all members OF sub committees except
Butler.
The plank, rs reported to
the general committee and adopted
by 1t, declares in substance
as follows: That the need of a change
In our tariff system Is made manifest
by the excessive revenue, and since
the foundation of the govern
ment custom-house duties have
furnished its main source
of revenue, this system must con-
tinue. Under 1t, many industries have
sprung into existence which depend
for their continuous prosperity upon
the faith OF the government.
that the change from bad system to
IA good system should not be made pre-
cipitately or In any manner likely to
injure the great interests, but rather TO
promote their healthy growth. Enough
revenue can be collected from
an excise duty on distilled spirits and
malt liquors and customs duties To
support the government pay pensions
and discharge the interest a nd princi.
pal OF the public debt, but fortunately
the reduction of taxation can be had
without hurt to the wages of labor.
This plank In the platform closes by
declaring that all taxation can be ex,
clusively for public purposes and that
no more taxes shall be collected than
are required to support the government
economically administered. This rs
adopted. w

PARIS, TEX, Oct. 22.-The legal
contest between the Baltimore & Ohio
Telegraph company and the Western
Union Telegraph company continues
to excite general interest throughout
the northern portion of the state, The
latest phase in the struggle was devel-
oped here to-day. The Baltimore d
Ohio company having con-
demned the right of way
of the Texas & Pacific railway for the
construction of its lines, and the court
having refused TO grant the injunc-
tons applied for by the railway COM
pany, the Western Union company
sent It's agents over the country, and
by the payment Of sums Of money vary
ing from s. TO S25 in each case and
agreeing to pay lawyer fees and costs
and indemnity to the parties against
loss incurred, owners OF land adjoining
the railroad TO allow the Use of their
names I'm q petition for an injunction
on the grounds that the fee in the hand
condemned To the use of the Texas q
Pacific railway, remains In them.
In the district court now in session
here Judge Gaines passed upon num-
ber of these petitions for Injunction.
The iniunctions were refused ON the
ground that the damages likely
to ensue to the petitioners were
SO trifIing and Insignificant.
aud the damages to the defendants
by the stoppage of its work would be
80 serious that AN injunction would
not hold good. This decision disposes
OF all the ipjuDctions now pending
against the Baltimore q Ohio company.
The construction Of their lines contin-
ues without Interruption, over 100 miles
on line being already up.

THE CONVENTION.

Much of THE HERALD's tele'
graphic space is coupled this morn
ing by matter regarding the Chicagc
convention, which will assemble to-
day. While his news is interesting,
il fails to convey the information
everybody is go anxious to get.
namely: who will be the Republican
nominee for President. The re-
porters con the spot" are az much
at sea in the matter as observers
scattered throughout the country.
It is conceded that Blaine leads
in the race, but falls short of
the majority over all necessary
to his nomination. Arthur comes
next in the number Of delegates
committed to or instructed for him;
but like Blaine, the President seems
to be unfortunate in not having
enough or in having too many. One
would hardly think 1t probable that
Senator Ben Harrison, OF Indiana,
or Postmaster-General Gresham, OF
the same State, could be nominated,
and yet the chances Of either are
actually brighter than those of
Blaine or Arthur. Neither
goes into the convention
with a vote committed to
him, and it is doubtful if on the first
ballot Harrison or Gtesham's name
will appear. and yet when a
"break" occurs from one of the,
prominent candidates, like Blaine,
Arthur, or Edmunds, the rallying
will in all probability be around a
person who is now in the back.
ground, and Gresham or Harrison
is quite likely to be that person.
The convention Will do little more
than organize to-day, and appoint
the committees. The balloting will
not begin before tomorrow.

THE JORDAN.

The suggestion of foods and over.
flows hereabouts sounds rather
strangely, yet the mild anG sluggish
Jordan, which last fall could have
been run through any Of h-lf 8
dozen irrigation canals leading from
it, is now a rsging torrent, out of its
high banks in many places, and
threatening irreparable damage not
only to the farms along its banks,
but to a considerable portion of the
city. The Fifth and Sixth wards;
and portions Of the Fifteenth, Six
tenth and Nineteenth are in imm:-
nent danger. The authorities are
doing all that is possible to prevent
a catastrophe, and at this writing it
is believed they will be successful,
as some of the mountain streams
are at a standstill or receding.
Whatever may be the outcome, this
seasons experience hints too plainly
to be misunderstood, that meas
uTes must be adopted looking
to the recurrence of just such win-
tiers and springs as those just past
have been. Were the Jordan to rise
much higher the damage that would
ensue would amount TO many thou
sands Of dollars, to say nothing OF
the annoyance and pain of having
houses washed away and homes de-
stroyed. There certainly must be q
way for controlling the ordinarily
insignificant stream, and removing
the peril that is liable to come an
nualIy; and thas way should be
Rseertained and adopted as speedily
as it may be.
