this morning, and appointed COM
mittee, with ex-senator PomerOy
as chairman, to formulate a plRt~
form, after which 1t adjourned till

At the afternoon eession the plat

the God of the Christian Scriptures
is the author of civil government;
fsyors the use of the Bible In
schools; asserts that God requires

mands strict prohibition laws, the
withdrawal OF all charters to secret
lodges, and their caths prohibited
by law, opposes prison and imported
contract labor; faYors revision of
the patent laws; pledges the party
to vote for woman suffrage;
asserts that the civil equality
granted by the 18Th, 18th and 18th
amendments should be extended to
indians and chinameu That all
international differences should be
settled by arbitration; that land and
other monopolies should be discour-
aged. Government should furnish q
sound curreney;that tbetarif should
be reduced as fast as the necessity of
the revenue and vested business in

gamy should at once be suppressed
that the Republican party is CEN
surabIe for the long neglect CT its
duty in respect to this evil; de-
mands a direct vote for President

Garrison Goes

New York, co.-Cornellus e. Gar
rison has assigned to John L ferry.
Preferences, S631,000.
Commodore G. K. Garrison, VINO
made an az ignment to-day, is wei
known as formerly deeply interest
ed in the Pacific Mail and New Or
leans and Wet India steamship
ines. He is 8 large stockhoider In
profitable gas companies OF this
city, St. Louis, New Orleans and
other large cities; was the principal
owner Of the Missouri Pac Lie rail-
road, but sold out few years ago
to Jay Gould; has cen interested
lately in numerous railway
schemes; was formerly res ident OF
St. Louis AMI made the bulk OF his
torture prior TO the rebellion.
The details of the assignment
provide for the payment OF a certain
sum to Lettitis w. Garrison and
Gums to his lawyers; also to pay
George K. Forrest the indebtedness
for the management Of his atfalrs.
The remainder ia due on notes Sc
cured by stock, bonds and realty.
Melville G. Day, counsel for Garri-
son, SAYS: The assignment ia made
because OF financial embarrassment.
It was forced upon Garrison by the
protest of notes under his endorse
ment yesterday. He is a heavy
holder of securities, and so much of
his, wealth is tied up in these, which
are almost unmarketable at present
that he could not meet his liabll1-
ties. He has a large number of Sc.
curities Of railroads in Ohio
which have shrunk, but are not
now on the market, the value OF
which cannot be estimated. The
assignment is simply for the bene>
fit OF creditors. The amount in
volved by tue failure of Garrison is
to be nearly $4,000, 00o.
Terry says it was impossi-
BILE yet to state the figures. The
effect on Wall Street was to still
more unsettle things, though not to
so great an extent as it was feared.
It is said Garrison is not very
largely interested in stocks, his
fancy being for gas stocks and OUT
side speculations. Stocks fell Off
one to three per cent. but no fail.
ures are reported. A prominent
banker said the effect Of the failure
com ing as it does now will naturally
unsettle things and in fact stocks
cannot go any lower without hit
ting and hurting some one. I
think the failure is rather a good
thing than otherwise, for among
many different people men like
Vanderbilt and Garrison do not
stop at an accumulation OF two,
three or five millions but they run
t up to ten and twenty millions.
That is wrong ard the distribution
If such large amounts will benefit

The failure of Garrison had no.
mach effect upon the stock ex-
change dealings, as he was not lar

THE TRADE DOLLAR BILL.-HOlders
of trade dollars, who refused to give
way to the panic last year, will have
reason to congratulate themselves on
their steadiness, if the Dowd bill for its
retirement and recoinage becomes a
law. This bill, reported by the COM
mittee of Congress on coinage, weights
and measures as a substitute for nine
other bills OF the same subject, pro-
vides that until June l, 1886, trade dol
lars shall be received at their face
value in payment of all dues to the
United States, and shall not be again
paid out. Holders of trade dollars, on
the presentation of the coin to any
treasurer or assistant treasurer, will
receive in exchange, dollar for dollar,
standard silver dollars of the United
States. The trade dollars received in
any national depository are to be re-
coined into standard dollars, and are
to be regarded and treated, when re-
ceived at the mints, as silver bullion
and their bullion value shall be de.
deducted from the amount of bullior
required to be purchased and coined
by the act of February %, 1878.

The WASTE OF BLACK WALNUT.-A
company of English capitalists, it is
stated, have got possession of all the
black walnut which was in the market
in Ohio, Iowa and Indiana, and have
been shipping it to England. The
farmers in these States, says the cor
respondent of the New York Times,
have but recently learned the value of
the black walnut. Twenty years ago
they burned hundreds of acres of it to
clear the ground, making fences of the
few trees remaining. The English
company will send out of the country
about $5,OOO,OO0 worth of black walnut
lumber, bought from the farmers at
almost nominal prices"

had done, namely the chains that
Winslow hung from the KeGrsarge rails
to the water, hanging loose and nova
BILE over the heart of his ship-the
boilers-and to conceal their ungainli-
ness sheathed lengthwise with boards
and when the alabama steamed out of
the harbor of Cherbourg to fight the
Kearsarge, she had for an antagonist
movable armored ship, and one which
her powerful batteries failed to pene-
trate. So, from cause to effect it
makes no difference if the heart is pro-
tected with loose hanging chains or
loose fuel coal so long as that heart re-
mains intact the ship is fit for action,
and while still accidents may happen,
happily the experienced officers of the
Government have been wise enough not
to perpetuate the mistake of turretted
monitors in rebuilding the Navy, but
at less cost and more efficiency COM
mence right to project a Navy that
will enforce respect from being design
ed on right principles and allowing
other powers to expend all they may
wish to in turretted monitors and
wooden walls. Our war demonstrated
the inefficiency of one. The times are
out of joint for the other, and the happy
mean was struck when the circling fight
took place between the Kearsarge and
alabama off the harbor of Cherbourg
France, on the 10Th of June, 1864, and
what was learned there will be EN-
bodied in swift, graceful ships in thu

RELIGIONS IN THE CABINET.-In the
Cabinet circle, it is said, many religious
views meet. The President is a High
Church Episcopalian, although his
father was Baptist preacher, and his
sisters are all members of that church.
Secretary Folger is Presbyterian, and
sits with the pastors family at the New
York Avenue Church, where Secretary
Frelinghuysen and his family, and
Postmaster Gresham and his family
also attend. Secretary Lincoln, like
his father, is a Presbyterian, but his
wife is from a strong Methodist fami-
ly, and they generally attend that
church.
Secretary Chandler and his family
go to the Unitarian Church, and are of
the advanced and liberal thinkers oi
that body. Attorney general Brewster
and his wife always worship at the
Epiphany, the largest and most fash
ionable of the Low Church Episcopal
congregations. Secretary Teller and
his wife are very devout Methodists.

WORK.

Some find work where some find rest
And so the weary world goes on:
l sometimes wonder which is best,
The answer comes when life is gone.
Some eyes sleep when some eyes wake,
And so the dreary night hours go.
Some hearts beat where some hearts break;
often wonder why it's so.
Some hands fold, where other hands
Are lifted bravely in the strife;
And so thro' ages and thrO' lands
Move on the two extremes of life.
Some feet halt while some feet tread,
In tireless march, thorny way;
Some struggle on where some have fed:
Some seek, when others shun the fray.
Some sleep on while others keep
The vigils of the true and brave;
They will not rest till roses creep
Around their names, above grave.
