When we study state at its center,
its political action. its organization. IFS
spirit, the management Of its institutions
Of learning and Of charity, the tenden-
cies. restrictive or liberal, Of its legisla-
ton. even the tone Of social life and the
code Of manners. we discover distinctions,
individualities, almost as many differ
ences as resemblances. And we see-the
saving truth in our national life--that
each state is well nigh indestructible
entity, an empire IN itself, proud and
conscious of its peculi,rities, and jealous
of its rights. We ser that state bound
aries are not imaginary lines, made by
the geograpliers, which could be easily
altered by the central power. Nothing,
indeed in our whole national develop
ment. considering the common influences
that have made us, is so remarkable as
the difference of the several states. Even
on the lines Of a common settlement, say
from New England and New York, note
the difference between northern Ohio,
northern Indiana, northern Illinois, Wis
consin and Minnesota. Or take another
line and see the difference between
southern Ohio, southern Indiana, south
ern Illinois and northern Missouri.
But each state, with its diverse pOpu
Iation, has a certain homogeneity and
character of its own. We can under
stand this where there are great differ
ences Of climate, or when one Is noun
famous and the other is fiat But why
should Indiana Ike so totally unlike the
two states that flank it in SO many Of the
Developments of civilized life or in re-
tarded action; and why should Iowa IN
its entire temper and spirit, be SO unlike
Illinois? One state copies the institutions
Of another, but there is always some
thing in its life that it does not copy from
any otller.-Harper Magazine.

Artificial silk is the latest discovery,

and that he may retire to his cocoon and

The new material is made, we are told,

somewhat complicated, but the result

Printing on Green Paper.

Several of the French railway compa-
MES, and other public bodies, have
adopted the practice of having their
printing done on green instead OF white
paper. The reason for this alteration Il
that they have concluded that the COM
bination of white paper with black char
acters endangers the eyesight OF theil
work people. Black on green has a.
ways been recognized a. good comb

A CHRISTIAN SPIRIT-We think the
Democratic papers are hardly just to Mr..
Harrison (of Indianapolis). They insist
that he is offended because he is not to be
a prominent figure in the Blaine recep-
ton, and that he is nursing his wrath
against the day when he can have his re-
venge. We do not see any evidence that
this is so. We believe il does injustice to
that Christian spirit for which Mr.. Harri-
son has been complimented by persons
OF authority in such matters. We have
no doubt that, so far from resenling the
slight put upon him, Mr.. Harrison Is pre-
pared 10 turn the other cheek, and to
keep hts patient face in steady gyratiou
for the series Of smilipgs that the Blaine
people will administer to him between

the United States. We are uncomprO
mi5ingly in favor of the American sys-
TEN of protection. We protest against
its destruction as proposed by the
President and his party. They serve the
interests of Europe; we will support the
interests of America We accept the
issue and confidently appeal 10 The people
for their judgment. The protective
system must be maintained. Its aban.
donment has always ben followed by
grave disaster TO all Interests except those
of the usurer and sheriff. We denounce
the Mills bill as destructive 10 the gen
eral business, labor, and farming inter.
ess of the country, and We heartily
endorse the consistent and patriotic
action of the Republican representatives
in Congress in opposing its passage.
In clear ringing voice, which could
be distinctly heard in every portion of
the auditorium, Mr.. Mckinley read the
declaration of Republican principles
AS he mentioned the names OF the dead
leaders of the Republican party cheer af'
ter cheer ascended, and his allusion TO
Philip H. Sheridan, was received with
loud applause. But these bursts of en-
ihusiasm were as nothing to the storm of
applause and cheers which broke out
when Mckinley enunciated the princi-
Piles of the Republican party in regard to
protection. Every member of the con.
veniion rose 10 his feet and many Of the
spectators followed their example.
Fans were waved, handkerchiefs were
futtered. cheers were given, and shouts
of approval found noisy vent. For fully
a minute Mckinley was unable to con-
tinue on account of the demonstration
which broke out afresh when denuncia-
ton Of the Mills bill found expression in
the platform.
When the reading of the report had
been completed, Mr.. Marine of Maryland
moved that ii be adopted by rising vote.
Mr.. Marine said before that motion was
put he desired to say few words We
have the right, he said, 10 be proud of our
party. as we have to be proud of our
country. The great Republican party be-
gan with the cry of free soil, free speech,
and free press, and had never faltered
when the enemies of the nation attempt
ed to take lis life, and the Republican
party would not falter now that again
the country is in danger, and will respond
AS of old to the cry of the people. We
will plant our party on the great rock of
ruth and justice, and it will stand there
as the refuge for troubled people. We
have been fortunate in our platforms in
The past, but never more fortunate than
now, and this is the greatest utterance
hat this great party has ever made, and
Il should be adopted unanimously.
IIorr Of Michigan, on behalf of his
State delegation, seconded the notion
and demanded the previous question
The previous question having been or
dered, the report of the committee was
adopted unanimously by standing vote,
amid great enthusiasm.
