A FEW PLANKS.

The following are some OF the more i'm
portant points OF the Republican platform
adopted at Chicago last week, and the
best feature Of which is, 1t was adopted
unanimously by tho committee composed
ozone delegate from each state and terri
tory:
The Republican party pledges itself to
correct the inequalities of the tariff, and
TO reduce the surplus, not by the yiscious
aud indiscriminate process OF horizontal
reduction, but by such methods as VIII
relieve the tax. payer without injuring the
hoorsr or the great productive interests Of
the country.
We favor the establishment of national
pureau OF labor, the enforcement OF the
aeght hour law, q wise and judicious sys-
em OF general education by adequate ap
nopnation from the national revenue
Wherever the same is needed.
The Republican party, having its olrtl

That oil men may be truly free and equa

COUNTY CONVENTIONS

Agrest many are advocating holding
county convention for the sole purpose of
selecting q new county central committee.
wsmy they are many, yet compared with
the county at large they are but few. We
do not think the scheme advisable for the
following reasons in addition to what We
kFsheard said on the matter.
Il will absolutely ,necessitate holding
ihres county conventions between this and
October. Now u. far rs the town of Mill
gb concerned, it would as leave have
nty conventions meet as not. But to
suppose that county mass convention will
besttended by the people with full repre-
ssntatlons once every three or for weeks
is supremely absurd. Especially so in
Hand county where nearly every farmer is
properly busying Emself, establishing and
fitting up his new home. Besides the
convention to select new central commit
tee, there must be Legislative convention
and 0 convention to nominate count.

On the Third Trial.

1t is again the field against Blaine, and
that statesman has cause to be nervous
over the situation. 1t is not long since
he gave out that he had strayed into the
green paths Of literature and gone on,
forever from the dusty high roads
OF politics. We regret to say that he
was not believed. Having twice almost
reached the presidential nomination he
actively pursued, no one WAS credulous
enough to believe that he would not
again seek 1t. He has vigorously trained
for his third race. aud has had the great
advantage of preparing for it in private
life. lie has avoided the many pitfalls
which beset the path Of the public officer
and has freshness Of appearance
which can only come from a
period of retirement. Seemingly
Blaine appears at this convention in
better condition than &C his previous
essays, aud 1t looks much as though he
would be successful in his third trial,
dangerous as is his position of leading
candidate. Mr.. Blaine has cause for the
nervousness with which he awaits the
result. AS partisans we can wish him
luck, for his nomination will be weak.

Cremation methods,

In our news columns to day will be |
found two sketches which exhibit the
practical and pOetical side Of cremation.
The observations Of an eye witness upon
the methods Of this new and improved
process OF disposing OF dead human
bodies disclose nothing revolving nor
irreverent in it, and it certainly appeals
with more force to the higher sentiments
Of our nature than the burial under
ground of the body in its present form,
subject to the slow and hideous decom
position OF the soil, not to speak oi
the terrors of grave robbery, the dissect
ing room, cemetery removals, and other
veritable associations Of the present sys
tenn.
The argument for cremation furnace
in centres of population to be provided
for the necessities Of epidemic and peri
DDS of infectious disease is very strong
one, as presented by the advocates and
friends of sanitary science and only needs
to be stated to have its force admitted. 1t
is the function of municipalities to pro-
tect their citizens from the dangers
which cremation offers to conserve, and
of patriotic people to give their approval.
A well regulated crematory, it would
seem, therefore, ought TO be valua
BILE adjunct to we'll regulated
municipality. Whatever sacrifice one
may be asked to make for the
living or to prolong and protect life
1t is not reasonable nor moral to expose
the living to danger out of consideration
for the dead {; and when that considera
tion is not founded on healthy senti.
mentality, sound science or true religion,
1t should not be allowed to stand in the
way Of salutary reform.
