TIE republican territorial platform IS
 sn open, frank and dignited expression of sound principles. They are punci-
 ples that characterize the republican
 party throughout the nation, with few
 local subjects added to meet certain is-
 sues. It arraigns the msladministrs- tion of the democratic party in power m DO unmesning terms, and holds up to the light of day their moth eaten gar
 ment of promise that the people may witness its hIdeous disfgurement. Ip its declaration of the equality of all citizens before the law, end the abuses of this grand principle of our govern ment by the democratic administration both national and territorial, together with its recognition of the dignity of labor and protection of home iDdus;rIes, 1t meets the hearty appreciation of the peorle of every walk of life. and dis tnguishes the party as the cOnserva- tor of the best interests of the nasseF. IL deals in no ambiguous generalIiies and upmeaning terms, but expresses condensation ot the great principles
 that individuslize the party as one of progressive. liberal and com prehensiye independence. Possessing these clements of policsl reciitude, 1t IS not calculated thet the democratic posses will regard it with favor. It de- mands conditions that are opposed to theIr purposes and reaches a plane too exalted for theIr consideration. But the thou. aliul Aai well meaning citizen who exercises h.s patriotic privileges in the spirit which inspired our forefGthers In erecting our grand republic, will look upon this platform IS an expression of the principles he venerates and he will tind in it evidences that the republican party hold sacred the landmarks of liberty and resent tho vandalism that at- tempss to destroy them.

TIE "Men of the Hour" have been evolved by some of the democratic con- ventions recently held. They have even given deaf ear to the ring of the chestnut, however highly graded towards perfection it may be, and have developed new vein of hu- nor.

We have just learned that there is no
monument to Regulus. Why has this been
neglected so long' More than 1000 years
have passed since he performed one of the
most unselfish actions ever recorded.
Regulus was a Roman general in the wal
against the Carthagenians. Being de,
feated and made prisoner, he was kept in
prison five years. Then reverses caused
his captors to desire peace. The Roman
general was released on parole and sent to
Rome with the Punic ENJOYS. Regulus
proved himself n regular brick on the oc-
casion. Regardless of what might hap
pen to himself he advised the Roman SEN
ate moi to make peace with Carthage. He
said If they continued to fight 1t out on
that line Carthage was bound to fall. He
was not eve in favor of an exchange OF
prisoners. His advice being adopted,
Regulus went back to Carthage with the
ambassadors by the next train and was
promptly put to death. And yet Regulus
has no monument. Who will be the first
to subscribe to a Regulus monument

A correspondent at Washington writes
his impressions OF the national legislature;
II was in both branches of our national
legislature and filed afresh by the great
dome and its works Ct art, by the marble
rooms n stairs, which can never be ap-
preciated without being seen. 1t was my
first view of the senate in session. The
strong light from overhead gave great
beauty to the green carpet of the floor.
My anxiety to compare the senate with
the southern Methodist general confer
ence was %opportune for the former, as it
was in memorial session Of the late Mr..
Miller. All was quiet in the room. The
speaker, In detailing his military career at
Murfreesboro, Nashville and other points
In Tennessee, was as gentle, tender, and
pathetic as would nave been a minister at
the funeral. That so few senators were
In their seats surprised me, n they were
the LATEST looking set of fellows l have
ever seen, unless | except a lot of tramps
in n city park.
"Going into the house l saw a large
group of members in front Of the speak
er's desk, and they were passing between
men who were counting them, each slap
ping the member cordially on the shoulder
as he would announce 'one more for the
Affirmative or negative, as the case might
be. Such a proceeding by the congress OF
the United States was novel, to say the
least. 1t was far less orderly than a dozen

Engineers pronounce the project of tap
ping Niagara river by means of a canal
entirely practicable, and experts have de-
clared that not elsewhere within the
known world are there such natural ad-
vantages for the creation of a gigantic
water power, and that 1t can be delivered
Mt Lockport to the extent of 800, 900 horse
power, If so much shall be wanted, at a
minimum OF expense. Lake Erie and all
the great upper lakes would be the mill
pond for this power-the Niagara river the
head race and Lake Ontario its tail race.
The supply of water can never be dimin-
ished by drought; no spring floods nor
freshets will tear away the dams, for
there will be no dams. The supply of wa,
ter will be uniform, uninterrupted and
practically unlimited, AT the ordinary
capitalized value OF a horsepower this
would add about s2O0, 900, 600 to the ma
terial resources Of the country.-Chicago

People who talk OF using b~loodhounds
to track Apaches in Arizona don't know
what they are talking about. Dogs in
that arid country give out sooner than
men or horses. Dogs require water and
would perish in a campaign where men
and horses would escape. Besides, often
for fifty miles at a stretch the whole sur.
face OF the ground is covered with cactus,
through which a dog could not travel
without torture and ruin to his feet. Dogs
might be hauled along in wagons and
turned loose where the trail is lost, but for
such use as could be made of them in or
binary countries the scheme is wholly i'm.
practicable. - Inter Ocean.

One of Paganini's most disastrous tri-
umphs he had when playing at Lord Hol-

on the violin the story Of q son who kills

listen to him, so he leads her to n wild
country site, suddenly jumping with her
from n rock into an abyss, where they dis

when the story was at an end, he asked
that all the lights should be extinguished.
He then began playing, and so terrible

SIR CHARLES dixie is either the VIC
tim Of a foul conspiracy or he is a perjured

parent probability in favor Of the latter
conclusion.
REPEAL Of the tenure Of Office act
would rid the government and the coun-
try Of a piece of legislation that never
could have been enacted except as an ex-
IRENE and unwarranted party measure.
The law was enacted IN restraint Of n
president who was at loggerhcads with
both houses, and vas an open exercise of
political power and a fragrant invasion of
the province Of an Independent branch Of
the government. 1t remained imperative
during sixteen years OF Republican ad-

party see no cause 10 revive it now, as ap.

In THE trial of the Chicago anarchist $
the evidence introduced BY the state is
clear and explicit, directly connecting
several of the accused with the bomb
throwing and showing a guilty knowledge
on-the part of all. The testimony may
prove stronger morally than legally, on
account of the fact that it largely consists
of admissions and confidential revelations
by the parties themselves, and this fact
tends to impeach the character Of wit
