CoSTRADICTING the current fiction
that the czarina makes the dresses of her
ch ldren, Mr.. Labouchere remarks that
the czarina and her sisters acted as
their own maids and dressmaKers in
early life simply because the present
king and queen of Denmark could not
afford either to buy their things or to

income did not exceed $5 600 year al.

tended to repay to the loyal States, with
out interest, the money paid by them at
the beginning of the war to aid in sup
pressing the rebellion, and TO cancel the
unpaid balance, principal and interest, due
from the rebel States upon said taxes, and
we denounce as treacherous and cowardly
the surrender of the Northern Democrats
i'm Congress to the small majority of the
ex-Confe lerates and their allies, and the
abandonment of the bill. which, If passed,
would have contributed over one and a
half million dollars to the relief of the
taxpayers of Pennsylvania.
Seventh. We, as a party, rs rapidly as

pure business administration of the Gov
erument and a system OF civil service in
Difference to a strong recognized public
sentiment against the abuses of the spoils
system. A Democratic President was
elected largely on the issue of civil SER
vice reform, upon pledges which guaran-
teed an immediate remedy OF existing
abuses. These pledges have been noto-
riously violated. Removals from Office
have been made without cause in more
sweeping manner than At any other time
in our history of American political par
ties; and Federal patronage has been bold
ly and constantly used for partisan pur-
poses.
Eighth. We recognize the strength of
the sentiment in this Commonwealth rel
ative to the evils and abuses of the sale of
liquor; and we favor all laws looking in
this respect to tho elevation of the moral
conoitiSn of the people. We, therefore,
repeat our pledge to submit the question
of prohibition to vote of the people.
Ninth. We earnestly protest against the
passage by Congress of the "Dunn Free
Ship Bill'' which has been reported to the
House by the Democratic majority of the
Committee on Merchant Marine, or any
other similar measure, as calculated to
work an injustice to American labor by
imperiling the livelihood of the large
number Of workers in wood, metals and
other materials, who are engaged in
American shipbuilding industries and
who should have home protection the
same as other wage workers.
Tenth. We favor the enactment of a
law that will allow the laborer an exemp-
ton to the amount of $500 from levy and
sale upon execution, so rs to secure this
privilege absolutely to him and his family.
Eleventh. We recommend such revis-
ion of the revenue laws of the State as
will impose upon corporations taxation
equal in amount to that from which they
have been exempted by judicial decisions
recently rendered.
Twelfth. We endorse the high personal
integrity, lofty aims, executive ability and
faithful enforcement of the laws by Gov
ernor Beaver which have won the praise
of all good citizens.
