The Democrats of Pennsylvania
have adopted a strong platform and
nominated an unexceptiOnal candi-
date for state treasurer. Conrad B.
Day, the nominee, is one of Phila-
delphia's most prominent business
men, a man Of unimpeachable integ.
rity, and unfettered by any political
complications whatever. He is known
as a consistent Democrat who never
trOd the devious paths of politics in
search Of official distinction, and is
thus in a position to command the
united support of his party and at
the same time freely draw from the
opposition such support as his per-
sonal merits may attract. In this
latter respect he is said to be IN
usually strong, as his business and
social relations have gained for him
an extensive acquaintance and close
intercourse with people in every sec
ton Of the State. His nomination
has inspired the Democratic party
with such confidence that victory is
not deemed impossible, even against
such tremendous odds as the 10000
majority which the State gave for
Blaine last November.

is prize fighter, gambler or a thief The
wretched thief who was killed, after robbino
a Texas crook Of $500, was thief and a swim

of all kinds as naturally as ducks take to wa

dupes than any other scoundrel of his class
in New York. He had an able allv in his
brother, and the only thing to be regretted is
that when the Texan killed Tom Davis he |
did not finish his brother Theodore at the
same time. One of the evils of this kind Of
robbery is, that you can afford to waste no
on the victim.

LITERARY NOTES.

ST NICHOLAS FOR SEPTEMBER
Has long and varied table of con-
tents, one of the most attractive fea-
ture of which is a tale by Frank
Il. Stockton, entitled THE Battle of
the Third Cousins "A Great Finan-
cial Scheme, by Sophie SWEET, is a
very funny story with a very good
moral. The moral is pointed at the
tendency to speculate with other
peoples money, and the loose WAYS
OF doing business that so largely con-
tribute to the constant emigration to
Canada. The story relates with rare
humOr how a country boy attempted
to emulate the great Wall Street
spectators and met with disastrous
consequences.
In "Spiders of the Sea-" C. F.
Holder contributes an interesting
paper about crabs, and their many
curious ways and uses. Henry Fred
erick Reddall writes an entertaining
article on "Nieknames" which is his
tOrical rather than analytic. and
shows how some very great people
were known by some very queer |
names, The number is well supplied |
with poems and verses.
