The Springfield platform is such an
unworkman-like piece of political car
pentry that the Press hardly thought it
worth extended notice. But the organs
of the republican party in this and
other states are so misrepresenting it
that a few observations on its character
appear to be called for. In the first
place it is, as Secretary Whitney sus-
poets in the case of the Dolphin,
''structurally weak" That is to say,
it is not put together with skill, the
parts are not of corresponding strength
and are ill-adapted to the end in view,
and no margin whatever for safety
appears to have been allowed. 1t is
doubtful, therefore, if the platform,
like John Roach's navy, is fit for any
thing except peace and fair weather.
These remarks are justified by these
facts: That whereas the platform
SCOTS at the effort of the administration
to conform somewhat to civil-service
rules, the whole career of the republic
can party in power was marked by
contempt of civil service principles;
that it declares in favor of prohibiting;
the importation of foreign pauper labor
only at the end of twenty years
announcement of such importations,
and after democratic congress has
passed bill to put an end to the evil
as far as possible; that it advocates the
restoration of the wool tariff of 1867,
which was reduced by republican
congress; that it declares tor harmony
between labor and capital at the close
of quarter century of power largely
devoted to the building up of corporate
mOnopolies, and in the wake of an
arbitration law passed by democratic
legislature; that it denounces the efforts
of the legislature to govern the peni-
tentiary and nominates man for at
torney general who voted for all the
measures taken in that direction, APP
preparations and all; that it declares for
regulation of the liquor traffic after a
license amendment was defeated by a
solid republican vote in the legislature
against the proposition; that it abuses
the federal administration for half
masting the capitol flag on the death of
a rebel while republican administra-
tions put live rebels in Office; and that
| it refused to adopt a free book blank
after masquerading as free book party
for over year. The late unlamented
legislature was bad enough in oil con-
science, but it did some very good
things. We have heretofore struck a
balance between its good conduct and
its misconduct, and in view of all the
facts and circumstances on the one
hand and on the other, wedo not think
the republicans of Ohio are in a posi-
tion to put on airs with any hope of
creating favorable sensation. C9eue-

Where the Old Shoes Go To.
Newark IN. " Call.l

1t has long been known by many
persons what became of the old tin cans
which are picked up throughout the
city and are carried away in wagons,
but it has only recently been discovered
to what use old shoes are put. Oc-
casionally wagons go through the city,
and return toward New York heavily
laden with old shoes and boots-those
that have been thrown away as worth
less. 1t is quite an industry in New
York gathering these, and they are
said to be worth five cents each. The
foreman of wallpaper factory in the
city mentioned says that different
prices are paid for different grades Of
leather, and that a pair of calfskin boots
will bring fifteen cents. The boots and
shoes are first soaked in several waters
to get the dirt off them. Then the
nails and threads are removed and the
leather Is ground into fine pulp ready
for use. The embossed leather paper
ings which have come into fashion
lately, as we'll as the stamped leather
fire screens, are really nothing but
thick paper covered with layer Of
this fine pressed leather pulp. The
foreman of the factory to which the
reference is made says that the finer
the quality of the leather the better it
takes the bronze and old gold and other
expensive colors in the designs painted
on them. Fashionable people think
they are going away back to medieval
times when they have the walls OF
their libraries and dining rooms COW
cred with embossed leather. They
don't know that the shoes and boots
which their neighbors threw into the
ash-barrel a month before form the
beautiful material on their walls and
on the screens which protect their eyes
from the fire. Many other trades use
old shoes and boots, and the tops of
carriages are largely made of them
ground up and pressed into sheets.
Book binders use them in making the
cheaper forms Of leather bindings, and
the new style of leather frames with
leather mats In them are entirely made
Of the cast-off covering of the feet.
There is very little wasted in this
world.

uNEARrHlNo A GOLD NINE.
The North Carolina Farmer Who
Awoke TO Find Himselfa
millionaire.


f5t. Louis Republlcan.l
A North Carolina farmer of Cabarrus
county suddenly found himself rich the
other day, when he was offered $50 a
bushel for 1000 bushels of q sand and
gravel mound ON his farm. The dirt
was more profitable at that price than
any farm product he could raise on his
land, but he was as sharp as old Farmer
Rogers, the North Carolina farmer Of
"Esmeralda," and didn't take it. The
gravel mound is as full of wealth as the
dirt pile of Dickens's golden dustman,
and the latest improved machinery Is
to be put in to work gold mine. The
discovery came about in this way:
The farmer knew of an old hole near 1t
which had been filled up by the drift of
years. He wished to make dry,
gravelly front yard for his house and
hauled some cart loads of the mound
and spread 1t before his door. The
rains washed it and he found among
the gravel a nugget of gold that weigh
ed an ounce. This opened his eyes.
He scraped up the gravel and it pan
ned outh S325 in rough pickings. Then
he took bushel of the mound, ground
it to powder in mortar, and it yielded
SIPS, which showed his good sense in
not taking $50 bushel for It. Then
the oldest inhabitant of Cabarrus, nigh
on to 100, suddenly recollected story
told him when boy by his grand
father, about an Englishman who
lived in Raleigh before the revolution
ary times, digging pit, finding a pile
of gold and going home to coini The
pit was on this very Cabarrus farm and
the mound was made from the dig
gings. The lucky Englishman worked
the mine in rough. took out the big
gest yellow chunks and left the smaller
nuggets and rich dirt for the farmer,
and the Dame of this sudden million
aire is Bob Paul. He will work the
mine for all it is worth, and would not
take for she Englishman's leavings as
many $40 gold pieces as would pave
every inch of his farm.
