Republican Platform
AS ADOPTED AT CHICAGO
BY THE NATIONAL REPUB-
LICAN CONVENTION =

The National Republican Cons
-vention adopted the following plat
form for the party;
The Republicans of the United
States in National Convention as
sembled, renew their allegiance to
the principles upon which they
have triumphed in six successive
Presidential elections and congratu-
late the American people on the ats
tainment of so many results in the
legislation and administration by
which the Republican party has, af-
ter savingt the Union, done SO much to
render its institutions just, equal and
benefcsnt safeguard of liberty and
the embodiment of the best thought
and highest purposes of our citizens.
The Republican party has Joined its
strength by quick and faithful re
sponses to the demands of the peeA
pie for freedom and equality to all
men for the united nation assuming
the rights of all citizens for the ele-
Walton of labor, for an honest cur
rency, for purity in the legislation
and for integrity and accountability
Of all departments of the govern
ment, and it accepts anew the duty
of leading in the work of progress
and reform. We lament the death
of President Garfield, whose sound
craftsmanship, long conspicuous in
Congress, gave promise of a strong
and successful administration. The
promise fully realized during the
short period of his office as Presi-
dent Of the United States, his dis
tinguished success in war and in
peace, have endeared him to the
hearts of the American people. In
the administrator Of President Ar
thur we recognize wise, conserya-
tive and patriotic policy, under
which the country has been blessed
with remarkable prosperity, and we
believe his eminent services are en-
titled to and will receive the hearty
approval of every citizen 1t is the
first duty of good government to
protect the rights and promote the in
terests of its own people. The larg.
est diversity of industry ia most pro,
ductive of general prosperity, and
of the cemfOrt&nd independence O
the people We therefore demand
that the imposition of duties CD for.
eign imports shall be made not fol
revenue only, but that in raisin 8
the requisite revenue for the Gov.
ment such duties shall be so levied
as to afford security to our diversi
fed industries and protection to the
rights and wages Of the laborer, t.
the end that active and Intelligent
labor, as we'll as capital, may have
its just award and the iaboring MAJ
his full share in national prosperity
against the So called economics
system of the Democratic party
which would degrade our labor to s
foreign standard, we enter our pro-
test. The Democratic party has
failed completely to relieve the pee
! pie of the burden Of unnecessary
taxation by a wise reduction of the
surplus. The Republican party
pledges itself to correct the Unequal
tiles of the tariff, and to reduce the
surplus, not by vicious and Indis
eliminate process of horizontal re
duction, but by such methods as
will relieve the tax payer without
injuring the laborer or the great
productive interests of the country

the objects of the existing reformed
legislation should be repealed to tina
end that the dangers to free institu-
tons which Turk in the power of of
fetal patronage, may be wisely and
effectively avoided.
The public lands are the heritage
of the people of the United States,
and should be reserved as far as
possible for small holdings by actual

QUESTION of large tracts of these
lands by corporations or individuals,
and especially where such holdings
are in the hands of nonresident
aliens, and will endeaver to obtain
such legislation as will tend to cor
rect this evil.

The grateful thanks of the Ameri-
can people are due to Republican
soldiers and sailors of the late war,
and the republican party stands
pledged to suitable pensions for all
who are disable and for widows and
orphans of those whe died in the
war. The Republican party also
pledges itself to the repeal of the
Limitation contained in the ar
rears Act of 1879, SO that all
of the invalid soldiers shall share "a
like and their pensions shall be given
with date of disability or discharge
and not with date of application.
The Republican party favors a
policy which shall keep US frem ca
tangling alliance with foreign ma
items and which shall give the right
to expect that foreign nations shall
refrain from meddling in American
affairs, policy which seeks peace
and trade with all powers, but es'
pecially with those of the Western
hemisphere.
We demand the restoration Of eul

The financial situation in Cuba
grows still more desperate and
hopeless. 1t is now claimed that
the entire sugar crop, which is the
chief sample, will not produces more
than five-sixths of the amount of
the taxes levied by the government
leaving the people in debt for their
taxes with nothing to procure the
means to support themselves. II

GENERALIZATION.

The people of the United States
in their organized capacity consti-
tute q Nation and not mere Con
federacy of States. The National
Government is supreme within the
sphere of its National duty, but the
States have reserved rights which
should be faithfully maintained.
Each should be guarded with jeal-
Gus care, so that the harmony of
our system of government may be
preserved and the Union be kept
inviolated
The perpetuity of cur institutes
rests upon the maintenance of free
ballot, an honest count and correct
return. We deneunce the fraud
and violence practiced by the Dem
ocracy in the Southern States by
which the will of the voters is de-
feated as dangerous to the prescrs
vatien of free institutions, and we
solenfnIy arraign the Democratic
party as being the guilty recipient
Of the fruits of such fraud and VIC
lenee
We extend to the Republicans
of the South, regardless of their
former party affiliations, our cordial
sympathy, and Pledge them our
most earnest efforts to promote the
passage of such legislation as will
secure to every citizen of whatever
race and celer, full and complete
recognition, and the possession and
exercise of all civil and political
rights.

The regulation of commerce with
foreign nations and between the

prerogatives of the general Govern
ment and the Republican party dis
tinctly announces its purpose to

of the public regulation of railway

The Captains Wife at Sea.

Some shippers wives master the art
of navigation. There are a number of
instances on record where the wives of
Captains who had died or had been lost
overheard have taken command and
brought their vessels safely into port.
A few weeks ago New Orleans woman,
who had learned thoroughly the art of
navigation, applied for license as mas
ter Of a vessel. This being the first
application of the kind from a woman
the matter was referred to the Solicitor of
the Treasury at Washington and re-
fused. Captains wives are usually
thoroughly discussed in the forecastles
of their respective ships. Jack judges
his masters mistress according to the
manner in which she treats him. He
usually speaks of her an the "Old Wo-
man." This seems her proper title, as
her husband is invariably known in the
forecastle as the "Old Man." If she
treats Jack with kindness and interests
herself in having him made comfort
able, he changes her title to "Old Lady. J"
But if she is severe on him and cuts
down the allowances of food, or insti-
tutes other economical reforms, he will
not even honor her with the title of
"Old Woman" Under such clrcum-
stances, she is apt to be ironically
spoken of as the "Old Fairy" The
female relatives of the Captain usually
acquire the same staid habits as his
wife, if they accompany him on his
voyages. If, however, the solemn mo-
notony of the cabin does not suit them
they will manage to secure berths on
land. Sometimes the mate or one of
the other officers takes his wife to sea
with him. Then there is q chance for
an occasional CLEAN of sunshine in the
cabin. When all the officers of ship
have their wives along the latter have a
much better chance for enjoying them
selves; but such instances are rare. The
Captain of the coasting steamer who is
blessed with several daughters, marries
them to his mates and the steward, and
if they hold out beyond the latter he
bestows the balance ON his foremost
hands. These floating families are
bound together by even stronger ties
than are similar ones on shore. Some
owners of ships charge Captains for
the privilege of taking their families to
sea with them. Others think that a
prudent wife looks out for the interests
of the ship and offer her board aud lodg-
ing free. AS a rule the Captain who
has his wife with him is more humane
in the treatment of his men than one
who is unaccompanied by helpmate.
Captains who, when single, were great
tyrants on shipboard, have, by marry.
ing and taking their wives to sea with
them, become noted for their mildnest
and humanity.

A Traitors Reward.

Alexandra Dumas contributes to the
Curietta an anecdote told him by the
late Henri Didier, who was a Deputy
under the Second Empire. Didier's IS
father was secretary to the Minister of
the Interior at the time when the Ouch
ess de Berri was arrested at Nantes at
the end of her attempt to raise the coun-
try against Louis Philippe and in favor
of her son, the Comte de Chambord.
The traitor Deutz agreed to sell to the
Government the secret of her hiding
place for 500, 900 francs, AMI iG was the
elder Didier's duty to pay the scoundrel
for his dirty work. He took his son
Henri into the Office and saio: ''Look
well now at what passes, and never for
get. You will learn what a LCthe is, and
the method of paying him." Deutz was
then brought into the room where M.
Didier was standing behind his desk, on
which were placed two packets, each OF
which contained 250,000 francs. As
Deutz neared the desk M. Didier made q
sign to him to stop. Then taking pair Of
tongs he extended the packets one afte1
the other into the hands open to receive
them. Not a word was spoken, ant
when the transfer was effected NJ. Didie,
pointed to the door.

Dying of Thirst.

"Did you ever suffer extreme hunger
or thirst ?' was asked of a Kentucky
colonel who had been relating some
solid stories about himself.
"Well," he replied, 81 never suffered
what might be called extreme hunger,
but no man knows how to endure the
agonies of thirst better than / do.
81 remember the time WE'LL" he con-
tinued, retrospectively. 81 was on a
fishing excursion and became lost IN the
woods. For three days not a drop

finally caused alarm and q party was
sent out in search of me. They found
me lying in an unconscious condition
on the banks of little trout stream,
and it was hours before any hopes OF
saving me were entertained.
"Was the trout stream dryP" asked
one of the interested listeners.
DRY ? Certainly not. How could !
catch fish if the stream was dry ?"
"Well, 1 don't see how you could sut'
fer from thirst with stream of water

"Water close at hand ?" repeated the
Kentucky Colonel. "And what ha'

A Scarcity OF Newspapers.

The world. taken as a whole, is short
of newspapers. A foreign rnpyr has the
following to say on the subject:
"It is astonishing to contemplate the
enormous number of people in the word
to whom a newspaper must be as rare as
4 diamond. Recently published stotis-
ties show that while the circulation Of
newspapers throughout the world ag-
oregates the great number Of l0,0to,-
OOO, 900, it only averages six and ljH If
copies per year to each inhahitant Of the
globe. This is assuming that only one
paper goes to each purchaser; Lut siuce

buy several, the proportion of those
who never buy one is greatly inc eased
Europe publishes 1857, while the
wonderful section of the world classed
as sNorth America" in the statistics fol-
lows with u, 400. The whole of Asia can
only show 775, a contrast, the more
striking beside the benighted South
America, which runs close upon the vest
continent, with 90. Africa lags behind
with only 1872, the modern settlements
of Australasia in its mited area owning

are 16, 500 printed in the English lam
guage, 1880 in German, $50 in French
aud 1000 in Spanish. The annual ag"

SAND WHICH SINGS IN THE WIND
About twenty miles south of Saltwater,
Cal, on Sand Springs Flat, at the foot
of the mountain, there is heap of sand
about one hundred feet high and nearly
mile across, which sings in the wind
and is constantly changing. 1t is thrown
by the wind, which there has circular
motion, into a vast round wall with a
hollow in the centre half a mile across,
which goes two-t thirds of the way to the
bottom. It is steep and hard to climb
to the top, and On the inside is even
more steep, so steep that no one has
ever dared to go down, for fear that the
loose sand would slide down and bury
them up. There are similar dunes on
the Sandwich Islands, on the Hebrides,
and on the Atlantic Coast.
