The Democratic platform is not re- markable document in thought, sense, diction or language. It IS principally an arraignment of the Republican party. "The fundamental principles" of Democ- racy, whatever they are at this time, is recalled for reminder that the Democ- racy was once in power, and was once in possession of a principle. They say that old issues have perished and only the new remain. Issues are based upon principles, and if the old issues have perished, we are afraid the ''fundamen- tai principles" of the Democracy are also a corpse.

It is the old combination over again. England eggs on the Solid South to break down the industrial system of the North. The papers in London are as pronounced and as bitter against Mir. Blaine's cleo tion as are the free trade papers of New York. There is no parallel that we can recall to the insolent interference of a foreign press in purely domestic con test in the United States. The whole secret of the English hostility is that Mir. Blaine is an outspoken protectionist and that he is an advocate of the extension of American trade and commerce in every field where the enterprise of his country men can gain footing The English opposition to Mir. Blaine is one of the strongest possible reasons for Americans to support him.

Adelaide Nelson's Lover.

Philadelphia Times.
Society and the stage both had a
frightful shock in the sudden death of
Admiral Carr Glyn. The prospective
Lord Wolverton was a universal favor
lite, really an intimate of the Prince of
Wales, and one of the few Englishmen
whom the Duchess of Edinbnrg seemed
to like. His death finishes the chap
ter of the Adelaide Nelson romance.
[ think there is no doubt he would have
married that beautiful Peg Wellington
if she had lived until after the admiral's
daughters were married and out of the
need of paternal chaperonage. His
was the ideal character of the sailor;
frank, generous, loyal, staunch, and
true. 1t was those qualities which set
him apart from the crowd of Nelson's
other lovers; he loved and was capa-
BILE of making generous sacrifice for
that love; therefore he offered mar
riage. She loved, too, and popularity,
but it was of him alone she thought
when she sat down, with testamentary
pen and paper, and faced death. His
funeral service was an impressive
ceremony. The interment is to
be made in the family burying
ground somewhere in the country, but
for the convenience of those in town who
wished to pay last tribute of respect
a service was held in st. Mary Abbott's,
Kensington, of which church the cousin
of the deceased, the Honorable and
Rev. Carr Glyn, is the vicar. The
coffin was borne into the church by
blue jackets and over it was thrown a
union jack, upon which was placed the
deceased admiral's insignia, his hat,
sword and epaulettes. The admiral's
two sons, Henry and Frederick Glyn,
walked as chief mourners directly be-
hind the coffin, and following them
came the Prince of Wales, who seemed
to have difficulty in restraining his tears
from flowing. Exactly thus was it
saw Admiral Glyn himself walk, weep
ing, behind Nelson's coffin, and I as
sure you the recollection was one that
broug int wildly to my mind the moth
ingness of all things, the instability of
human plans. Looking around upon
the crowded assembly of mourners,
involuntarily 1 murmured, "Dabit
Deus his quoque fnem!" CGod will
put an end to these also.1 And then
comes the never answered question,
"WhyP Why all this suffering, striv-
ing, anguish, love and deathP"

A QUESTION.

death be an eternal sleep,
Why doth the spring return
TO scatter flowers beneath our feet,
And tbs wastes Of winter spurns
Ii death be an eternal sleep,
Why doth the buried grain
Send forth new harvests for men to reap
And whiten the spreading plain?
II death be an eternal sleep,
Why the oceans ceaseless flow,
When the planets all their journeys keep
And never weary grow?
II death be an eternal sleep,
Why do we hope for heaven,
When we approach the mercy seat
And ask to be forgiven?
II death be an eternal sleep,
When will justice come,
To those who toll for others meat,
And receive but scanty crumbs?
III death be an eternal sleep,
Why did the angels go
The poor man to bear to Abraham's seat,
While the rich man was In woe?
If death be an eternal sleep,
Why was man e'er born,
And why should he his vigils keep,
Ii there is no coming morn?

thropists of philanthropic. England
Born in 1921, he was at thirteen head
boy of the Southwark grammar school,
and the next year was apprenticed to
the government printer, Mr.. Thomas
Harrison. who put him in charge, in
his eighteenth year, of the private
printing press in the foreign Office in
Downing street. At twenty-one, his
apprenticeship over, he crossed the
Channel, and while in Paris worked as
compositor in the Galignani estab-
lishment. The year following he
joined his father and brothers in build
ing up what is now the enormous sta
tionery and printing business known
as Waterlow & Sons, limited. In those
days printing and TYPOGRAPHY had not
superseded the "law writer" and Sir
Sydney will tell of his own experiences
in spending the midnight ink, when
clerks from offices all over the city used
to exc out their day pay by joining of
an evening the great staff of copyists at
"the WRITER'S" whose pens were flying
to make ready the parliamentary bills
for the next day. 1t was largely through
Sir Sydney himself that improved
methods came in vogue. Hard
work brought success and hon.
ors. In 1856 he became common
councilman for the ward of Broad
street, and in 1868 alderman for the
ward of Langbourn; in 1866, sheriff,
when he was knighted; in 1872, lord
mayor, when he was made a baronet,
Mr. Gladstone expressing his, lively
satisfaction in rendering. the honor to
one sswho, independently of the high
Office which he holds, has deserved so
well of the people of this great me-
tropolis for his Intelligent and indie
fatigable philanthropy" He is the
head, as treasurer, of St. Bartholo-
news hospital, to which, in 1872, he
presented Lauderdale house, Highgate,
with its fine grounds, newly fitted as
convalescent home. He was from 1874
to the general election in 1880 the asso-
ciate of Sir John Lubbock as a men,
Der of parliament for Maidstone, but
since that year he has represented the
important borough and port OF Grave
send. To be at once an NJ. P, Lon
don alderman, and the head of a great
hospital and of many philanthrspies,
demands an industrious devotion for
which the honors do not pay extrava-
CANT interest. London also owes to
him the police telegraph and Hospital

has recently resigned his position as
alderman, after service Of more than
quarter of century. It will inter-

The Language of Postage Stamps.
Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record.
"There is one of the sort of letters
that make me tired, absolutely so tired
that can't even swear" remarked a
clerk at the postoffice last night, n a
tone of deep disgust, as he tossed aside
a pink envelope from pile of letters
on which he was cancellingthe stamps.
The offending missive fell on a corner
of the table among dozen others
which had all in a measure contributed
to the clerks '1atigue,' and after he
had concluded his task he reached over
and pulled the lot toward him.
"Just see here" he said, continuing
his wall; ''not one of these letters is
properly stamped. Look at this, the
stamp on the upper left hand corner,
and this one is down at the bottom, and
this right in the center, with a heart
drawn around it, and, hang it! why,
here's a new racket, the stamp stuck
on the back" and as he ratified on he
gave each of the epistles vicious jab
with the canceling stamp and then
tossed it into the mail bag.
"Do you run across many of that
"Do IP Well, I'm pretty good-na-
tured, and you wouldn't hear me kick
ing if it was only once in while; but
they come along by dozens, and, by
Jove, around Christmas and St. Valen-
tines day about half the extra mail is
stamped in some awkward way.''
"Who do it?''
"Well, principally silly people who
are in love. fancy most of the letters
stamped in those queer ways are love
letters or valentines or christmas cards.
Look at this,' and he fshed out the
pink envelope before mentioned. It
was directed in a feminine hand to
man in Norristown, had the stamp in
the center, with conventional heart
drawn around it, and smelt like cake
of hotel toilet soap. CHOW I must

know how exasperating it is to have

'sPerhaps there is some language of
postage stamps, and different positions
mean different sentiments" suggested
the reporter. ssFor instance: Up in |
the left corner, Il love- in the lower
left corner, DO you love?'"
Of course there is. and LII tell you
just how it goes. Whenever a stamp
is put anywhere but in the upper right
hand corner it means just this: The |
man, woman Or child who stamped |

ANTHRACITE FOR THE WEST.
Five Million Tons to BE Sent There This
Year.

Philsdelphis Record.
The amount of anthracite coal to be
taken west this year is said by the pro-
ducing companies to be greater than
ever before known. It is variously es-
timated at from 100000 to 5000, 900
tons. The officials of the Philadelphia
and Reading railroad company state
that the latter will be the amount. The
most extensive preparations have been
made in Buffalo for handling this coal
for Western shipment. The Lehigh
Valley railroad company has spent
S., 000,0 900, and the Buffalo, New York
and Philadelphia railroad company
fully 100000. The Reading and
New York Central have made extra
preparations, but are bidders for water
front that will give them exceptional
facilities for the shipment of anthracite
coal. Navigation opens upon Lake
Erie on the 1st of April, and the hard
Goals will then begin to move to the
lake ports in large quantities. Parties
in this trade state that the west is be-
coming the best market for anthracite
Goals, especially for domestic purposes,
and that the only difficulty will be in
shipping it fast enough. In sections
where wood has for years been the only
fuel used, anthracite coal has won great
popularity. One ton is equal to four
cords of wood; and the price of the lat
ter being So per cord in the forest, and
anthracite coal only SO per ton, coal Is
the cheaper fuel of the two. The su-
periOrity of the coal over wood in con-
venience is readily seen. In St. Louis
there were 100000 tons of anthracite
coal consumed last year, against 175,-
900 tons the year previous, and it is ex-
pected that 100000 tons will be taken
there this year. Chicago is to be the
greatest consumer of anthracite coal
among all the western cities, and few
figures prepared by the coal association
of that city will show how rapidly the
anthracite coal trade has there increas-
ed. The amount received there in 1880
was 797, 349 tons; in 1881 1,1O2,74S
tons; in 1882, 1851, 421 tons, and in 49,
50, 1,245,411 tons. This year there
will not be less than 100000 tons dis
posed of in that market. The mana
gers of the anthracite trade contend
that the west will absorb all the
surplus stock,

To the People of the State.
The Nebraska state historical society,
organized 1873, has been without any
means, financially, other than very
limited contributions by members, as
membership fees and annual dues. The
sums thus derived have not been suf-
icient to defray Incidental running ex-
penses, stationary, postage, express,
etc. Under even these adverse circum-
stances, we have collected great deal
of valuable historical matter and data,
but without means for their publica-
ton. At the session of the legislature
in 1888 an act was passed recognizing
the society as state organization, re-
quiring reports annually to the COVER
nor, and providing for publication of
such, in pamphlet or book form, as ex-
tent of matter will demand.

port embracing the transactions of So
ciety, and data obtained from it's Or
ganization to, and including the year
1884, We need more, in order to make
such volume as will be of greatest
value to the state. We have reliable
and detailed histories of SO of the 81 or
ganized counties. We should have
them all. We have biographies of ter
ritorial governors, Burt and Black; of
Senator Hitchcock; of pioneer citizens,
DR.. Lowe, Stocking, Morrow, Mrs.
Mason, Mrs. Morton and Mrs. Creigh-
ton. We should have scores of such.
From early settlers still alive, auto
biographies are desirable, and will be
more valuable, especially if accompa-
MED with early historical recollections
and "reminiscences. We cannot visit
in person in order to obtain these. Can
only make an appeal through this me-
