The Republican Platform.

A well-knOwn politician is reported in
the New York Herald to have said in
Washington, day or two ago, that if he
had the making of the Republican plat
FORM at Chicago he would write it in one
sentence. as follows: ''PrOtection to Amer
lean industries and to Southern voters"
1t looks very much as if that one sentence
contains about all there will be in the
platform whether it is written in one or
one hundred sentences. The platform will
undoubtedly favor high protective tariff,
and the foundation for an outrage plank
is now being laid. A subcommittee
in Washington are trying to torture
the Danville riot into political outrage,
and another subcommittee at Now Or
leans are trying to extract campaign ma
terial from the COpiah county troubles.
4 special to the New York Sun from Dali
las. Texas, states that a year or two ago
there was a secret meeting Of negroes in
that city to select delegates to the ma
tiOnal cOlOred convention soon to be held
in Pittsburg, to protest against the So
called shotgun policy in the South, and
to issue an address to the country de-
manding political and other rights for
the negroes. There dOesen't appear to be
any reason to doubt that the call for this
convention was worked up by white
agents of Republican leaders. The con-
vention and the outrage investigations all
indicate that the Republicans are getting
ready for the bloody shirt issue, which they
propose to make the leading issue in the
national contest this year.

1t is said that the Republican office
seekers call President Arthur the ''great
American proclastinator." A celebrated
author once said, Demonstration is the
thief of time" From a Republican stand
point the President ought to be excused
for stealing a little time just now, at
least until after the meeting of the Chicago
Conventions

Senator Hawley's opinion that 'neXt to
the worship of God, politics is the most
honorable work in which a man can en-
gage" seems rather remarkable in this
age of political rascality. The Senator
should have particularized and stated
whether he referred to the frauds that
seated Hayes, the soaping and sugaring
of voters by the Republicans in the last
campaign. or the alliance with Malone.
If be can point out any honorable political
work his party has done, the country
would be very glad to hear of 1t.

DEAR JOHNSTON: Your request for
$50 do not think it best to comply with
Just now. At the various times when
have helped you little you have said to
me: eve can get along very well, nOW,"
but in a short time find you in the same
difficulty again. Now this Gan only hap
pen by some defect in your conduct.
What the defect is | think l know. You
are not lazy, and still you are an idler.
doubt whether, since ! saw you, you have
done a good whole days work in any one
day. You do not very much dislike to
work, and still you do not work much,
merely because it does not seem to you
that you could get much for it. This habit
of uselessly wasting your time is the
whole difficulty, and tits vastly important
to you, and still more to your children,
that you should break this habit. 1t is
more important to them because they
have longer to live and can keep out of an
idle habit before they are in it easier than
they can get out after they are in.
You are now in need of some ready
money, and what | propose is that you
shall 90 to work, 'tOOth and nail,' for
somebody who will give you money for it.
Let father and your boys have charge of
things at hOme-prepare for crop and
make the crOp-and you go to work for
the best money wages, or in discharge of
any debt you owe that you can get. And
to secure you a fair reward for your labor
| now promise you that every dollar you
will, between now and the LIST of May, get
for your labor, either in money or Oh your
own Indebtedness, | will give you one
other dollar. BY this, if you hire. yourself
at $40 a month, from me you will get SIC
more, making $40 a month for your work.
In this do not mean you shall go off to
st. Louis, or the lead mines, or the gold
mines in California, but l mean for
you to 20 at it for the best
wages you can get close to home
in Coles county. Now, if you will
do this you will soon be out of debt,
and, what is better, you will have a habit
that will keep you from getting in debt
again. But if should now clear you out,
next year you will be just as deep in as
ever. You say you would almost give
your place in heaven for $40 or $50. Then
you value your place in heaven very
cheap, for l am sure you can, with the
offer l made you, get the $40 or $50 with
four or five months work. You say if
will furnish you the money you will deed
me the land, and, if you don't pay the
money back, you will deliver possession.
NOnsensel If you cannot now live with
land, how will you then live without it?
You have always been kind to me, and |
do not now mean 10 be unkind to you. On
the contrary, if you will but follow my
advice you will find it worth more than
eighty times $50 to you. AffectiOnately,
your brother, a. LINCOLN.

Congressman Ochiltree is determined
that the country shall know that he is in
Washington. His last feat was an attempt
TO enter the Attorney Generals office
unannoumced. The Chief Clerk objected.
The distinguished Texan raised his voice
and said, "You evidently don't know who
am" He then explained his connection
with this great nation, but was informed
emDhatically that the Attorney General
was i'm consultation with another member
Of the Cabinet, and did not wish to be in
truded on. OchiItree then turned indig-
nantly away with ehe remark, "Then why
in Texas didn't you have messenger out

1t is said that the protectiOnists who
appeared before the Committee on Ways
and Means during the past week had
most elaborate arguments prepared,
which they delivered in excellent style.
In nearly every instance the statements
were the usual cut and dried arguments
with which the country has become so
familiar. 1t appears, however, that the
committee were disposed to search deeply
into the merits of the cases presented, and
the inquiries were in the nature of a cross
examination and were thorough and
searching. Like all witnesses who have
learned their part, the representatives of
the protected industries were considera-
bly embarrassed by the questions asked,
to which they could only reply in such a
way as to spoil the effects of their preyi-
Gus speeches.

1t is asserted that President Arthur has
made his political will in anticipation of
the uncertainties of the struggle in the
Chicago Convention, and that Judge
Gresham Is the legatee. The President.
however, with the lights before him, has
no idea that the document Will need to be
probated at that time. From all appear
ances the machines are working etfectu-
ally. and the testamentary instrument is
only made with a view to cover what are
considered remote contingencies, and in
cidentallv to strengthen his hold on the
Indiana Republicans.

The Virginia Readiusters meet at Rich
mond today to select delegates to the
Chicago Republican Convention. 1t is
expected that formal steps will be taken
to complete the transfer of the Readjuster
interests to the Republican party. While
the platform of the Readjusters is the very
opposite of the professed doctrines of the
Republicans, they have the fraud and cor
ruption instincts in common, and that is
sufficient to justify the union. OF course

The Farmers Union in Manitoba is
again agitating the subject Of secession.
The memorial to the government asking
for redress of grievances has received
no attention, and the Indignation OF the
people at the treatment they have re-
ceiyed is intense. 1t is said the revOlu-
tionary feeling is now rapidly spreading,
and that an outbreak is expected. If
Manitoba secedes we will have a little
speck Of war on the other side of our
northern border, but it is hardly probable
that the disgruntled ManitObans will take
such hazardous step as secession.
