REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC REM
EDIES.
Debauched by this immense tempta-
ton, the remedy Of the Republican
party is to meet and exhaust by eXtrav-
agant appropriations and expenses,
whether constitutional or not, the ac
emulation Of eNtravagant taxation.
The Democratic policy is to enforce fru-
g;slity in pnblic expense and reduce
unnecessary taxation. Our established
domestic industries and enterprises
should not and need not be endangered
by the reduction and correction of the
burdens of taxation. On the contrary,
a fair and careful revision of our tax
laws, with due allowance for the differ
cncc between the wages of American
and foreign labor, must promote and
encourage every branch Of such indus
tries and enterprises by giving them Us
suranccs of extended market and steady
and continuous operation.
TAKING CARE OF LABOR.
In the interests CT American labor,
which should in no event be neglected,
the revision of our tax laws contem-
plated by the Democratic party should
promote the advantage Of such labor
by cheapening the cost of the necessa-
ries or life in the home of every work.
ingman, and at the same time securing
to him steady remunerative employ
mcnt.
THE APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE.
Upon this question of tariff reform,
so closely concerning every phase Of
our national life, and upon every ques-
ton involved in the problem of good
government, the Democratic party sub
mits its principles and professions to
the intelligent sufrages of the Ameri-
can people.
THE CONVENTION CONSTITUTES THE
PLATFORM.
Secretary Thomas Pettitt, of the con-
vention, during the reading of the re-
port of the committee on resolutions,
was frequently compelled to stop for
several seconds while the convention
applauded significant passages in the
platform. There was a moderate vol
ume Of applause when the opening SEN
tences which reafirmed the utterance
of the the tariff plank platform of 1884
were read, but when these were fol-
lowed by the sentences endorsing the
Presidents message and declaring that
it correctly interpreted that plank, the
convention fairly rose to. its feet and
cheered wildly for full minute.

AN HOUR AT THE OPERA HOUSE.

The theatrical reporter of THE
Historian has been present at many a
good and bad entertainment at Ross
opera house, and has had tears drawn
from his sympathetic eyes by the
woes OF hapless heroines, and the
Jokes OF the festive minstrels, ct al,
but yesterday afternoon he was per-
vaded by feeling that resembled sad
ness as the mist resembles the rain, as
he followed small boy with a big
bell to see piece of realistic stage
business.
The audience was small but re-
pectable, the admission free, the
time 2 P. NJ, and the dramatis per-
sona home talent exclusively.
The engagement was played under
the auspices of Sheriff Sn idt; the
chief actor was Ben Worsley, who
played the star part. The play was
short, its title being, "Sold at a Sac
rifce; or, the last days of 49,"
During the progress of the perform
ance liz pairs of roller skates were
sold for $3.50; 35l chairs for IS cents
apiece; $1,000 worth of scenery and
stage properties for $50, and every.
thing else in like ratio.
The applause was limited and at
the close the audience dispersed feel
ing as though they'd got their moneys
worth.
The property was bid in by Mr..
Stone for Geo. w. Hume, and will re-
main intact.

how Men Die.

II We know all the methods, of ap.
proach adopted by an enemy we are
the better enabled to ward of the
danger and pospone the moment when
surrender becomes inevitable. In
many instances the inherent strength
of the body suffices to enable it to op'
pose the tendency toward death.
Many however have lost these forces
to such an extent that there is little
or no help. In other cases little
aid to the weakened Lungs will make
all the difference between sudden
death and many years of usefnl life.
