THE OHI0 PLATF0RM-


 More than usual attention has been paid to Ohio at their convention, for it is the first important declaration of Republican doctrine since the party was thrown into opposition. In it's utterances concerning national affairs the platform is generally commendable, as even some of the mugwump organs confess. For instance, no fault is found with the first resolution, which declares that the right to vote accorded by the constitution of the United States is the concern of the whole to every citizen in every part of the republic: existing guarantees must be sacredly main tained and additional ones provided if neces- sary; that the equal protection of the laws and the equal enjoyment of the suffrage shall not fail or be abridged in any way through the cennivance, neglect or fraud of any of the States of the Union.
 Not the least interesting part of the plat form is that which deals with the labor ques- ton. The establishment of national bu- reau of industry is favored and the enforcement of the eight-hour law. The importation of contract la bor is denounced and the enactment of the most stringent laws to prevent it advocated. There is room for difference of opinion about the eight-hour law, but the Republicans of Ohio have done well in paying attention to the wrongs of labor. They are also to be commended for opposing the acquisition of the public lands by nonresident aliens.
 High ground is taken in regard to civil o1,,&io it reads: The Republican party, which enact ed the present civil service law, will faith fully maintain it and cheerfully aid in all needed amendments to give it full force and it is committed to extend the law to all grades of service to which it is applicable Ample appropriations should be made to en- force it in letter and spirit and all laws at variance with the objects of existing reform legislation should be repealed. Having ac- complished this much the party pledges it. self to still further and higher reforms; it looks with the deepest regret upon the fail
 ure of the present administration to promote the reform of the civil service so suspicious
 ly begun under Republican administration. The Ohio Republicans have made good beginning, but we hope to see their work as platform makers improved upon. IT the Republicans are to recover power they must have positive policy, and one which will commend itself to the best men in both par ties. The New York Times tells the plain truth when it says: Politicians are apt to forget that party changes are not brought about by the strict voting strength of either party, and appeals to party spirit or preju- dice are therefore of little avail. There is 8 balance of power swayed by men of inde- pendent judgment and action which must turn the scale if it is to be turned A party in opposition must aim at adding to it's strength if it would nourish it's hope of gaining control, and to do this itiimust have 8 consistent policy to urge, and must set against any failure or shortcoming of the ad- ministration some practical assurance that it could and would do better q:

 Just as the last visitors were leaving the Geological gardens late yesterday afternoon a wild scream was heard in the lions and tigers house and three of the keepers tum- bled all over each other in their hurry to reach that part of the building where they supposed some venturesome visitor was hay ing an arm lacerated by angered beasts. When they got near they stopped and laugh ed loudly A very pale and much-scared young lady stood upon a bench with her skirts tightly grasped, while twenty-two rats roamed with the utmost unconcern over the floor.
 "Rats!" exclaimed keeper, after the young lady had been relieved 'srats Why there's hundreds of lem here. Just stand in that corner and I'll show you something" !" When all was quiet dozens of the rats ap- peared. They scampered along the floor at the edge of the animals cages and dined lux uriously upon peanuts, broken cakes and orange rinds. Two of the bolder ones crawl ed up into the cage that contains the large lion, ard starting upon foraging expedition
 into various corners, erept rather cautiously up almost to the very nose of the lion, who lazily rested his fine head upon one paw and turned his big brown eyes upon his bold wis itors. When they had eaten all they could find they jumped to the floor and joined the others.
 ssThat old lion don't mind lem as long as they don't touch him. If they do they've got to skip mighty lively to get away. The other day one big, fat rascal got into the cage and touched the lion on the leg. AL most before could wink that rat was lying flat and dead under the old fellows paw. He never allows man beast to fool with him y

 'sI should like to spoke few remarks to Brudder Side Bar Skinner" observed the president as the dust began to settle in Para disc Hall
 Brother Skinner, who is young man of twenty three, with wild eye and a lilac necktie, advanced to the front and the presi- dent continued:
 "Brudder Skinner, de news has reached my ears dat you am about to be mar'd. I trus' dat de report am true, bekase believe it am de dooty of ebery young man who kin support wife to take one."
 'tIt am true, sah."
 stDen let me compliment you wid one hand an spoke few remarks to you wid de oddsr, Gittin' mar'd has it's very serious side. Fur instance, am de gal gwine to mary you be- kase she loves you, or to spite her folks be- kase dey kept her away from de skatin' rinka Am you gwine to mary de gal fur love or bekase her father has some wealth which you hope he'll shell out fur your bene- fit?
 Glove am a powerful emoshun, Brudder Skinner, but love without pork and 'taters to keep it goin' am like de froth on top of soda water.
 "Don't mistake your sentiments. If you am sartin that you love go ahead. If it am only lollypop, hire out as 8 deck hand on a steamboat fur week an it will all go away: I hev known couples ez seemed to be dyin' | of love. Deir silly ackshuns made lem de 1 laffin' stock of a hull nayburhood. Dey seemed to dote and dote, but it didn't last. After couple of y'ars de husband war a home grumbler an de wife a gadabout an a

We name these three days be- cause we are not sure whether we shall run 1t all the week or not; certainly we cannot afford to do it for more than one week. The three days are all we are pledged to.
 Now, the difference between this sale and the ordinary cotton sales is this We mean to re- duce oU our cottons without ex- ception. The usual custom with some of our competitors has been to reduce one or two well known makes to less than cost price, and to charge the usual (if not actually higher) prices for all the rest. In this sale there will be 20 Leaders, be- cause every bzece of cotton in stock will be marked, for the time, at non-remunerative prices.
 Of course it is likely enough that some one will begin fool ing with Fruit of the Loom or some such cotton, and offer 1t away below cost. If they do we shall meet and beat them of course. But that is not where the real benefit to the public will come in. It will be in the fact that aX our eottons will be sold, for the three days at least, below their market value.
 So much for our promise to the public. It doesn't matter much, we suppose, to any one why we are. doing this but we don't care if we tell one reason. At the present moment we own cottons cheaper than we. ever did before. We bought heavi- ly at the recent great auctions (no one else in New Haven did )-and we bought also by private bargain at prices domi- mated by the auctions.
 We have a shrewed suspicion that we can make a 6zg cotton sale just now with less loss to ourselves than any of our neigh bors can, and as we would like to unload some, we mean to try it. The sale will comprise yard wide bleached and brown cottons of all grades, pillow case and sheeting cottons, ducks, drills, denims, ticks and avn ings..
 Some special drives in prints will be made at the same time.

 The bicycle has a great future before it. It is to be officially introduced into the Bava- rian army. A number of soldiers of the gar rison of Munich are at present doing orderly service for the purpose of trying the practic- ability of the "wheel." A charge on bicy- cles would be an interesting affair.
 Hereafter, in France, when 8 number of stamps are to be affixed to letter they must not be placed close together, but with space between them. The reason is that if 6 con- siderable portion of the envelope is covered with stamps it is easy for dishonest person to remove them, open the envelope under them, abstract the contents of the letter and paste them on again. Many bank notes have been stolen in this way.
 The rats of Paris do not have a comforta- ble time of it, because the municipal coun- cil offers premium for their skins. Two years ago the premium was $3 per 1000, but it has recently been raised to $10 per 1000 in order to get the city cleared of the pests. The rats are of the Norway kind, and breed four times a year. The skins when collected are sold to glovemakers for four cents each, and 20, 900 skins are said to have been made into genuine kid" gloves last year.
