PLATFORn AND RESOLUTIONS.
Adopted at the Democratic state
Convention in Virginia City,
Nevada, May II, 1888.

The Democratic party of the Stats Of Nev1-
da. in Convention assembled, reaffirms its de-
votion to the Federal Union, and to the Con-
stitution of the United States and its amend
ments, and hereby readopts the principles of
constitutional government promulgated by
the Democratic National Convention of 1884
and affirmed by the people in the election of
Grover Cleveland and Thomas A. Hendricks,
President and Vtce-President of the United
States.
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND INDoRsED.
We congratulate the country. upon the sue
cessful administration of President Cleve-
land.
He has maintained the peace and dignity of
the nation; has upheld Public Credit; has re-
ducel public expenses; has restored millions
of acres to the public domain, md has impair
TALLY enforced the laws throughout the length
and breadth of the land,
Under his wise and bGneficent administra-
tion the whole country is enjoying remarkable
prosperity and all sectional feeling has been
obliterated.
The Democracy of Nevada recommend hi
denomination. and invite all liberal-minded
men, irrespective of past party predictions,
to unite with them in re-electing him.
THE TARIFF QUESTION.
We fully opprove Of the efforts of the Demo-
cratic Representatives in Congress to perform
the pledge made by the last National Demo-
cratic Convention to reform and remove taxes,
to the end that the labor Of the country be re-
lieved of onerous and unnecessary burdens
We denounce the present tariff system, which
creates an annual surplus of S155 900 900 in the
National Treasury, by taxing the every day
necessities of our farmers, miners and labor
ers for the benefit of protected Eastern manu-
faatIrers 50 for every dollar that goes into the
Treasury, and which does not protect the la
borer. We declare that taxation should be
limited to the requirements of governments,
and that the burden of taxation should rest
upon those who use luxuries rather than upon
those who use only the necessaries of life.
FREE COINAGE OF SILVER ADVOCATED.
We favor the free coinage Of silver now en-
joyed by gold, or, in lien thereof, the right Of
deposit In all OF the Mints of gold and silver
bul ion, for which certificates shall DO Issued
payable in coin in the same manner that Unit
ed States notes ure now payable; said certih-
Gates to be legal tender for all debts, and the
depositor to be entitled to receive in certif-
Gates Of such denomination as he prefers ono
dollar for every twenty-five and eigbt.tenths
grains of standard gold and one dollar for
every four hundred and twelve and half
grains of standard silver sodeposited, and We
instruct the delegates appointed by this Con-
vention TO tho National Democratic Conven-
ton to use all honorable efforts to have this
resolution adopted as part Of the platform of
the National Convention.
We congratulate the people ofthis State that

assembled at wipnemuccA in its false charge

COCAiNE'S RIVAL.
A Powerful New Anesthetic at Present
known as Stenocarpin.

Powerful New AnRsthetic at Present
Known as Stenocarpin.
DR.. J. Herbert Claiborne, Jr., of New
York City, has written an interesting ac-
count for the Medical Record of a newly-dis-
covered alkaloid, with which he has been
experimenting and whose therapeutic value
as a local anastehtic he concludes will not
be inconsiderable, especially in eye diseases.
His own researches have been confined to
it's effects on the mucous surfaces Of the
eve and nose, but he thinks it may fairly be
reckoned as a rival of cocaine, and feels
safe n predicting for it a wide field of use
fulness in all departments OF surgery where
local anRsthesia is desired.
The new drug is derived from the leaves
of tree very much resembling the acacia
stenocarapo, and known in Louisiana as the
''tear-blanket tree"
The discovery of the drug was due to an
accident Mr.. Goodman. veterinary
surgeon, while travelling through West
Feiciana Parish, La, had occasion to apply
poultice to a swelling on the fetlock OF
| one Of his horses He used the first leaves
! that came to hand, saturated with hot
water. After making free incision in the
| swelling he was surprised to find that the
horse evinced not the slightest feeling
| of pain.
| The leaves were afterward analysed and
! found to contain an alkalold to which
anasthetic properties were found to be
| due. The new drug is at present known as
stenocarpin.
