ment Of a generous system Of internal
improvements; the guaranty, SO far
as its power extended, of q fee ballot
and an honest count-these are some
of the things which the Republican
party, in spite OF the inveterate and
INSCRIPTIONS opposition OF the banded
forces of the Democracy, rebellion,
reputation and reaction, has been
able to accomplish for the country.
The marvellous development of the re-
sources of our own commonwealth,
the unprecedented increase in popula-
ton and advancement in prosperity,
during twenty-five years of unbroken
and unchallenged Republican suprem-
acy, are facts too patent to demand
more than the most casual mention.
This party ofpatriotism, of progress
and OF genuine reform, presents itself
again to the voters OF this State, with
u declaration OF principles cmbodying
advanced positions on all the
living, vital issues of the hour.
The plea for a sound and reliable
dollar; for justice to the veteran
soldier; for the relief of agriculture
from the burdens of unjust transpor-
tation charges; for reduction OF in
terest; for free school books; for equity
to the laborer; for q reduced tariff;
for real civil service reform; for a
rational regulation of the liquor traffic;
and for lifting the yoke from Cypress
ed and bleeding Ireland-all these
are firmly held and openly avowed de-
mands and pledges OF the Republican
party OF to-day. All the pages OF it's lu-
minous history confirm it's proud as
sertion that all its past pledges have
been sacredly kept. That record will
be maintained, and the voters of Min
nesota may confidently rely that this
platform expresses the highest assur-
ance OF its most determined endeavor.
Felicitous as it has been its platform
the Republican party OF Minnesota
has been equally fortunate in the can
dldates now presented for popular
suffrage. With a full state ticket, and
five nominees for congress in the field,
and acampaign of almost unprecedent-
ed activity now nearing it's close, we
have the noteworthy spectacle OF the
failure OF even the intense partisan
malice of a reckless opposition to find,
In the character or the record of a sim
gle Republican nominee, shadow or

ability, of integrity, and of wide
experience in public affairs, in whose
hands it is safe to entrust our inter-
ests. In addition to this, they are

can foretell what dangerous complica-
tons may arise from this.
ASegur says, Peace is the dream OF
the wise, but war is the history OF
mankind Now, let us glance for a
moment at the extent OF the martial
preparations existing in Europe, and
1t should aforementioned in this con
nectlon that Bismarck has recently
said, in justification of Germany's &C
tlvity: 'We are at war now,' mean
Ing, OF course, in the feeling which sur
rounds the questions, but which has
not yet resulted in blows. The law OF
the I'd OF May, 1874, gives, in effect,
to Germany the power in case of war
to call for six millions of various
classes OF soldiers, and by the DEGREES
OF the first of January, 1874, Russia
can call for a fabulous number to raj
~ around her standard-overt ten mill
lons-but this would be an imperfect
and excessive estimate. Germany, in
case OF war, can dispose of 100000
men perfectly instructed, Russia
100000 equally we'll prepared,
and Austria Hungary about 1,5OO,-
600, with large eventualities. Italy
can place in the field an equal number
with the last named. France can
place in the field, in thirty days, an
army of 100000 men thoroughly
equipped, ready to fight, and knowing
how to fight, and she is regarded as
having, at this time, the best artillery
armament of any power in Europe.
This is the point, it will be remember
ed, in which she was specially weak in
the late war. What enormous prepa-
rations for gigantic combat! It is a
spectacle which arrests with the deep
est interest the attention of the
world"
Mr.. Sweeny thinks that in the event
of hostilities between the United
States and Great Britain we would be
a poor match for England so far as
naval strength is concerned England
to-day is the most powerful nation in
the world on the hig Oh seas. She pos
sesses twenty turret ships completed
and sixty more in progress, with a to-
tai displacement of 100000 tons,
varying from 5000 to $4,000 tons
and in speed from ten to fifteen knots
per hour.
"Her insular position and extent of
coast line to defend, the vast dmen-
sions other empire, the fact that she
needs her food from abroad and the
greatness OF her maritime commerce
more than fifty per cent. OF the tonnage
of the world sails the British
hag-all combine to make it a
matter of self-preservation that she
should have a naval armament SUI
perior to that of any possible adver-
sary. She is we'll provided in this re-
spect. France ranks next to England
as a maritime power.''

A Brief Explanation.

Agents of companies doing business
upon the natural premium plan, may
frequently encounter persons who
think this sort of insurance is far too
cheap, and cannot figure out where
the money is to come from to pay
losses as they mature.
Their idea is that which the old
line companies have been at so much
pains to cultivate, that every man
must pay in, during his expectancy,
the full face of his policy, and that
unless the company collects a premi-
UNI that will do this it must necessar-
lily be unsafe and ultimately come to
grief
There is but one way to answer this
question. Old-line companies do not
figure their premiums in that way.
The expectancy of life" has as little
to do with the case as the flowers
that bloom in the Spring. Assess
ment life insurance, as practiced by
the better class of associations, con
duct the business upon the same prin-
ciples, nearly, as fire insurance is con.
Quoted. That is to say, they collect
a premium each year in proportion to
the chances that the insured life will ter.
inmate during that year The fire insur.
ance company collects a premium in
proportion to the chances of loss dur.
ing the year. No man expects to pay
to a fire insurance company in prin-
cipal and interest the value of his
building and its contents, and no mar
is so stupid that he cannot understand
that the tire insurance company does
not compute its premiums in this way
or that every man who loses by firt
must in SO many years pay in as much
money as his house and property ar.
worth. Our Society Journal.

Charleston All Right.

1t is difficult, however, to convince
people at a distance that such is the
case. Aloss Of S., 900, 900, they argue,
must ruin a city of $1,000 inhabitants,
one-half of whom are colored. 1t is
difficult for them to understand that
while our houses are comparative
ruins, our wharves and railroads are
intact, and our facilities for doing
business not impaired. The cyclone
and the earthquake, they think, must
have destroyed whatever of Charles.
ton Was left by the war. This inn
preston, no matter how unfounded
or unjust, must necessarily injure the
city, unless some ef1ectual way Of COM
batingit can be discovered. People will
not trade with a city which they regard
as doomed. We believe that this in
furious impression that Charleston is
ruined can be effectually overcome in
one way. If the world could see the
whole state OF South Carolina, with
its million Of inhabitants at the back
of the 10000 in Charleston, deter
mined to uphold and rebuild the old
city by the sea as the metropolis of
the state, change would come over
the spirit of its dream. 1t would see
that there is q chance of success and
that the fight is not hopeless. South
Carolina bonds, to the amount of
$3,OO0,OOO or 100000, at a low
interest, issued tor the purpose OF re-
building Charleston, would create a
new faith in the city, and capital
would not be slow to come to help
those who show their readiness to help
themselves Charleston News and

Detroit Free Pre- SO.

Detroit Free Pre- SO.
A note has been left on my desk
AKIN me why de present aige has not
produced a Cicero, Diogenes or Milton.
I answer to de effeck dat each aige has
produced of itself an fur itself.
Diogenes was looked upon as q wise
man in his day an aige. Put him an
his tub on airth to-day. an it
wouldn't be twenty-four hours befo'
he'd be jerked to de jug for a crank,
an de law would TO ce him to cut his
ha'r, dig out his finger nails an put on
q clean shirt.
Cicero was applauded by thousands
fur his mastery oratory. At dat aige
de gift OF CAB was rare thing. In dis
aige you kin attend five-dollar law
suit befo' any justice of de peace, an
find a match fur Cicero in a three-dol-
lar lawyer. If he could drap down
among us, he'd find it hard work to
git a resolution fur a new sidewalk
frew de city council.
Shakespeare was a big bug fur de
aige in which he lived. He was proba.
bly, the only person on airth who could
have writ his writings, and he deserved
all praise. Ii he was among us to-day
he find cherry newspaper givin' him de
guy, an all de boys yellin 'chestnuts,
form. Dis aige demands a different
style. We want suthin' about angels
comm down an takin' little chill.

or a teller gwine out to Texas an kill

cashun. We want plain English, wild.
out any had words in it. We doan'
know muffin bout me lord, ME duke,
me lady an SIGH, an wedoan' want to-.
Dis aige has produced 5000 pussons,
who, while they can't write like Shaks.
peare did, kin waltz all aroun' him in
keepin' de readers har'r on eand from
de fust paige to de last.
Nero was a big gun for his aige, but
jest you imagine SIGH chap cavortin'
aroun' dis kentry at dis day an date!
De very fust time he sounded his ba-
zoo in de Ninth ward a peeler would
give him de collar an walk him down,
an de next mornin' you'd see it in de
papers dat ole Nero was sent up fur
sixty days fur disturbin' de peace.
We has no poet to excl Milton, but
if we had de newspapers wouldn't gin
him fair show. Dey'd refer to his pro-
duckshuns as spring poetry, an he'd
likely be dubbed de Ba'ngate Balla-
dist of Indiana. Dis aige doan' cry
fur poetry half as much as fur pork,
an a chap like Milton would hev to
turn a hand-organ to make q livin'.
De aige doan' demand no great man
in any line. When 1t does he will bob
to de surface an his name will appe ar
in de papers. We am all mo- or less
orators. We am all wise huff in our
way. We am all philosophers huff to
see why water won't run up hill, an
statesmen huff to know dat what ais
dis kentry am it's over production of
bootjacks.
My advice to you am to keep right
on being common folks. If you want
to git above de common herd pay
cash for your groceries; let odder folk
SEES woodpiles alone; keep whisky an
SIGH at arms length; put in six days q
week at hard work; read mo- skule
books an fewer novels. You may
not become q Napoleon nor a Plato,
but you'll be remembered in your own
neyburhood when de names OF state
gov'nors hev bin forgotten.

Of the rebellion, when Sherman was
marshalling his forces to penetrate the
very heart and bowels OF the 'great
iniquity," when Ulysses Grant, at the
head of all the armies of the United
States, was drawing them anaconda
like and with vice like grip around the
most wicked and unjustifiable rebel
lion in all history. It was at such a
time that the democratic party, met
in national convention, declared the
war a failure. To say Twas indignant
is to state the case tamely. l said,
if there were nothing to live for
in this world, 1T were enough to live
that | might fight the party which
made that declaration to it's destruc-
ton. Applause. l said party
was q machine. Now there comes a
time in the history Of every machine
when it needs repairing and ultimately
there comes a time when it should be
laid aside, and in my humble judg-
ment, gentlemen, the democratic
party should have been laid aside
more than twenty-five years ago.
Applause I say that a party is
simply an instrument through which
the people may record their will, but
! would not be true to myself If l did
not assert that the party which
plucked this great nation from the
jaws OF death, the party which
snatched that starry banner out of
the mouth of hell, like a brand from
the burning, the party which bound
the union and unbound the slaves,
the party which took the freed man
and nurtured him through the years
OF his tutelage and raised him to full
and free citizenship in the republic,
