 An English medical man has started an alarm against the custom of cropping the hair short. He claims that the hair serves as conductor of electricity to the brain, and if the brain cannot get electricity it will soften.
 A Kentucky lawyer has refused to fight a duel, because it is forbidden by the laws of God and man, and because he has no right to throw away his life, leaving his family without means of support. This man will probably lose some of his Kentucky friends who have very strict ideas about s'honor," [" but he has got the right on his side.
 The new material for unsuitable apparel has been further tested, with success, in Lon don. This material is composed of threads of cork interwoven with cotton, silk or wool en-machinery which slices the cork to the required thinness forming part of the inven- ton. The garments which are made in this manner have the same appearance as ordina- ry clothing and possess remarkable buoyancy in water.

 Mr. Juesson, our consul general at Vienna, has recently made suggestion looking to- ward supervision of immigration at it's source, which deserves consideration. His proposition, in brief, is that our government require all immigrants to present, before being allowed to land, certificate from the United States consul of the district from from which they emigrate, setting forth that they are of such character and general repute as gives promise of good citizenship. The object is, of course, to prevent the coming among us of persons whose Anarchic and Socialistic tenets are so aggresively held that they have been unable to live peaceably and lawfully in their own country.

Republican Platform.

The following is the platform adopt
ed at the republican convention at
Harrisburg last week;
To the end that our industries may
be systematically developed, our COM
merce extended, labor receive its just
rewards and capital find remunerative
employment, we demand that the sys-
tenn OF protection known as the
American system of protection which
has been established, built up and
fostered by the Republican party for
twenty-five years, be maintained in its
integrity. And we demand further
that this system under whichl the
wealth of this country has been more
than trebled in a single generation, and
which affords fair and liberal pro-
lection to our agricultural and manu-.
featuring interests and the individual
classes employed in connection there
with, be also extended to our custo-
mers, so that by the establishment and
maintenance of commercial marine
we may diversity industry, find new

labor, make use of the products of the
forest, mine and mill in building our
own ships and provide for the nations
defense as well as the preservation of
its honor by training body of men
for service upon the seas, furnishing
ships which can be transferred to the
service of the nation in case Of need
and securing the establishment of ship
yards and machinery which will enable
us as q nation to construct entirely
within ourselves, when necessity re,

The republican party claims to be a
party of law and order, and yet it has
habitually ignored the constitution of
the state. AT the Harrisburg conven-
ton last week Mr.. Hulings offered the
following resolution:
"Resolved, That the Republican
party pledges itself to enforce articles
l6 and II of the Constitution, relating
to private corporations, railroads, tele-
graphs and canals, with appropriate
Legislation
The resolution was defeated, thus
showing that the republican party is in
sincere in its professions; that it favors
monopolies, and refuses to obey the
mandates of the fundamental law of
the state in declining to endorse legis-
lation that is positively commanded by
the constitution. While pretending
great friendship for the laboring mass
es, it bows before the great corpora.
tions subsequently, and makes them
the great power of the state instead
of the constitution adopted by the
solemn act of the people. When the
Democratic convention meets next
month there will be no cowardice in
its demand for an enforcement of the
constitution, and against monopoles OF
every kind. 1t does not bow the sup,
plant knee before railroad companies
through fear or favor.

Cleveland a Democratic Lincoln.

The politicians did not like Presi-
dent Lincoln. They would have push
ed him aside at the end of his first
term if 1T had lain in their power. The
barrier in the way was the confidence
reposed in him by the sovereign people.
The situation at this time is not dis
similar President Cleveland has not
pleased the politicians, either of his own
party or of the opposition but every
day it becomes more and more mani
fest that the people-both the Demo
Gratis who took him on trust and the Re
publicans who distrust him-are behind
him backing him. His sturdy honesty
pleases them. The wiser politicians,
seeing the drift of the popular current
are beginning to hedge.-Brodtord

the Legislature Of the State should at
once adopt measures providing for the
submission of this great question to a
vote of the people in accordance with
the true spirit Of our free institutions.
"Resoloed, That the Republicans
of Pennsylvania demand of Congress
that the limitation of arrears of pen
sicn bills, whereby unjust discrimina-
ton was made against applicants of
pensions after June 80, 1880, should
be repealed and all soldiers and sailors
entitled to pensions should share
equally and justly in the payment of
claims by the Government.
"Resolced, That the Republican
party of Pennsylvania places them
selves on record against the disfran-
chisement of the colored vote, come
from what source it may, by intimida-
ton by tissue ballots, by false count,
or by amendment of the Constitution,
or by Congressional action.
"Resoloed, That we approve the bill
which has received the almost unan-
inous endorsement of the United States
Senate and is nov pending in the
House of Representatives as regulating
commerce between the States, and call
upon the Legislature to accept a like
measure to regulate and supervise
freight charges within the State, We
deprecate the Infamous work of i'm
porting foreign pauper labor, criminal
and contract labor, and the products
of European criminal labor, and de-
mand the passage of national law
summarily and positively prohibiting
such importation under any pretext
whatever. The products of the farm
and dairy should not be lost sight of
in the list of the American industries
to be protected under the American
system, and both National and State
Legislatures should protect them from
dangerous and unjust competition, and
from any or all counterfeits. Our hos
tility is likewise proclaimed TO the Nor
rison bill, not only because it is an ad-
vanced step in the direction of free
trade, but because it designs TO permit
raw material to be imported free and
strikes at the prosperity of the farm,
the mine and the workshop.
Labor and capital are OF right, and
should be, through custom and law as
mutual as man and wife, and TO the
end that the mutual relations shall be
strengthened, we advocate at the hands
of the National Congress and of all
State Legislatures the enactment of
proper laws affording facilities for con
ference and arbitration based upon the
principle that all men are free and
equal, and directly recognizing the
equality of all the interests involved
the workers, the employers and the
people at large.
I'VE bring an indictment against
the present Democratic national admin
istration for its inconsistency, indiffer-
ence, and inefiicency which has been
alike inconsistent in the methods EN-.
ployed to promote promised reform,
Indifference to our individual and com
mercial interests, and inefficient through
lack of experience and ability to meet
any of the grave questions of the day.

Joshua L. Baily leading citizen of
Philadelphia and strong Prohibition
ist in referring to the Republican Con-
vention proceedings, says: "The
Prohibitionists will not be influence d
by the so.called prohibition plank in
terjected into the platform by Mr..
Quay. If it had been offered a few
years ago it would have been move in
the right direction; now it is simply bait.
1t comes too late. What we want is a
prohibitory party that will prohibit.
Republicans see that their party is dis
inte grating in many States, while the
Prohibition party is gaining strength
daily. Pennsylvania will be doubt
fnl State for the Republican party and
if it is lost to them the party will be
wrecked. The Republican managers
who predicted that the election of
Cleveland had set prohibition back for
twenty years were mistaken. 1t was
their own party that was set back. The
Prohibitionists are marching on"

The present indications are that
Charles S. Wolfe will be nominated
for Governor by the Prohibitionists.
Should he accept he will poll a large
vote. When he nominated himself fol
State treasurer as an independent re.
publican a few years ago he received

party thoroughly organized at his back
he will receive still greater support
from republicans and prohibitionists

The Philadelphia Press, of the 1st
inst. reached into the wrong pigeon
hole for wood cut of Senator Davies,
the republican candidate for lieutenant
governor, and got hold of portrait OF
some other man who does not bear the
slightest resemblance to Mr.. Davies.
We have known him for thirty years,
and at no time did he ever look like

him w. II. Davies instead of w. II.
Davies, showing that they are unfamil-
lar with his name as well as his face.

Major Montooth, the unsuccessful
candidate for the republican nomina-
tion for lieutenant governor, will prob.
ably fall in line and support the whole
ticket. His feelings have been sooth-
ed by the promise of the governorshp
nomination IN 1890. The result of
this falls election may make it neces-
sary TO give Beaver another vindication
by that time, and in that event Mon
tooth can get promises for 1894.
