place in his hands the leadership OF the
Democratic host, for the reason that the
achievement Of the Government is an I'M
dertaking now too heavy for his failing
strength, enforcing this that his life has
been prolonged until the general judgment
Of his fellow-oountrymen unites in the
wish that the wrong were righted IN
his person. The Democrats of the United
States offer him upon his withdrawal
from these cares. not only respectful
sympathy and esteem. but, also, that best
homage OF freedom, the pledge of devo-
ton to the principles and course we deem
inseparable in the history Of the Republic
from its leaders and the name OF Samuel
J. Tilden. With this statement OF the
hopes, principles and purposes OF the
Democratic party, the great issue OF re-
form and change in the administration Is
submitted to the people in the calm conf
dence that the popular voice will pro.
nounce in favor of new men, and new and
more favorable conditions, for the growth
of industry, extension Of trade. employ

and the general welfare of the country.

and imperative; that we favor the crea-
ton of a State Board of Equalization, as
the only feasible way BY which an mi
form and equitable assessment may be
made on property situated in two or more
counties in this State. That we are OPP
posed to any diversion or interference
with the Public School Fund for sectarian
purposes; that we view with alarm the
acquisition OF large bodies OF land In this
country by wealthy aliens, and we believe
that legislation should be had restricting
such acquisitions for the future; that the
public lands should be reserved by the
General Government for actual settlers,
and that there should be no monopoly OF
acreage by subsidies to railroad corpors-
lions, for the violation OF which princi-
pies we arraign the Republican party, q
party which pretentiously speaks OF the
public lands as the ''heritage OF the peo-
ple." after it has ~squandered the fsiress
portions of this domain in reckless grants.
In all matters not touched upon in this
declaration OF principles, we shall feel
safe in standing upon the platform to be
put forth by the National Democratic
Convention, a body whose wisdom we
recognize as superior to ours and whose
loyalty to the cause Of Democracy we
know to be as spirited and as earnest as
our own, and we pledge the Democracy OF
Nevada to the hearty supporter the nomi'
nees OF that convention.

Street Cars i'm Toxic,

The streets for the most part are
narrow and TEEN from morning till
night with humanity. There are no
regul ations, apparently, such as those
embodied in the local ordinances of
dents may be prevented or the longevi-
ty of public Improvements promoted.
Heavy teams are driven at terrific
speed over shaky wooden bridges. The
large number of bridges, together with
the rough usage, discourages the mu-
nicipality from making proper repairs,
and there are always a great many con-
demned and closed bridges in the city.
The are apparently no sidewalk ordi-
nances, and this is accounted for ordi-
narily by the fact that there are no side
walks to regulate. Every manner of
liberty is taken with the streets instead,
when the sidewalks are thus wanting.
The most incongruous spectacle is
that afforded by the presence of street
cars here-a feature peculiar to the
capital city alone. Like all the foreign
improvements here, the street-car lines
are English in style; the cars having
four or six wheels and running upon
tracks provided with groove for the
wheel f1anges. The drivers and con-
ductors are, of course, Japanese, dress
ed in European clothes, but never more
than decently appareled. The con-
ductors carry ancient-looking leather
sachels strapped over their shoulders
from which they sell tickets TO all pas
sengers. to be collected at the door as
the passengers quit the car. There are
no bells on the horses, but q horn
hangs by the side of the driver and the
latter energetically toots it as his horses
dash along at break, neck speed down
the street. Although these Japanese
ponies are abused shamefully in order
to make them attain speed satisfacto-
ry TO the driver (there are no humane
societies in Tokio), the cars will stop
some times for ten minutes at cross
ing while the conductor and driver
wait for an imaginary load of passen-
gers without the least concern or i'm
patience.
1t is i source of terror to the bravest
person to ride by any mode of convey
ance down some of these narrow Toxic
streets. Every coach and other vehicle
carries horn in order to keep people
on the lookout, and the streets are an
interminable crush of stages, ears, GIN
rikshas, and portable groceries. Block
AIDES are frequent and sometimes disas-
trous. The street-car lines profess to
have double tracks running to the sub
urbs of Hyzeno and Asakusa. but the
streets are frequently SO narrow that
they have to reduce to one and even
then run quite close to the houses

N. p. Willis Cuff Buttons,


The statement is now made that Mr..
Aldrich has abandoned his plan of
writing the life of N. P Willis for the
American Men of Letters" series for
want of time, which reminds me that
when Mr.. Aldrich began to collect
material for this biography he called
upon Mrs. Eddy. Mr.. Willis daughter,
asking for letters and memorials OF her
father. In the course of the call Mr..
Aldrich showed her his cuff-buttons.
"Do you recognize these?" he inquired.
Certainly do" she answered, .'How
came you by them?" Il was calling
upon Mrs. Fields the other day." Mr..
Aldrich answered. ''and she gave them
to me with the remark, Lord Beacons-
field gave these to N. P. Willis, and N.
p. Willis gave them to Mr.. Fields, and
now | want you to wear them. u
THAT is all very tine," Mrs. Eddy OBJ
served, ''but 1gave the buttons to Mr..
Fields myself. lie wanted something
that had belonged to father, and after
ward used to delight in saying that he
wore the cuff-buttons of N. p. Willis
aud the collar-stud of Charles Dickens.
AS for Beaconstield, he never saw them;
! bought them myself in most un-
romantic shop in Broadway" "Well,
don't tell, the caller said, laughing;
''the bigger story is good deal bet
ter" But he boasted of Beaconsfield's s

the marriage crop than any year you
can divide with 1our, and these little
stock tickers knock your Cupid's bow
and arrows into the middle of the next
centennial. All this flipmaguilder
(the statistical editor has traveled)
about love making the world 60 around
looks very pretty on the stage and
reads very well in the weekiies, but
when times are dull and money tight l
take notice that it doesn't do much to
make anything go around except duns
for flowers and carriages. You'll find
the marriage record is a pretty good
index of the condition Of the times, go
back far as you please. Well begin
with 1868. That year there were 8, 700
in Boston. The number was annually
larger and the next leap year shows
4, ,4l9. In 1873 you know we reached
the height of flush times, and 4,46O
atrocities were committed in the name
of Hymen (the statistician is also a
bachelor). That year. you know,
brought Black Friday and the panic,
and that fall and winter things began
to tumble. In 1875 there were 3, 400,
drop of 1000 in two years. In '76,
leap year mind you, only 1900, and the
city growing all this while and the wo-
men getting thicker every day. Your
leap Near theory didn't seem to work
in those times. Then the election and
the eight to seven business upset things
again, and in 1877 there were but $500
marriages. Since then we've been
picking up, averaging gain of about
200 a year. Eighty-two saw 4,631 we'd
dings, and reckon this last year will
beat that, but just as sure as these
croakers' predictions of hard times
come true, you'll see this marriage
business take a drop this year, that no
leaping can. overcome. There's moth
ing like good sharp figures TO burst the
sentimental bubbles every time. Dos
