Platform ofthe Ohio Democrats

TIE platform adopted by the Ohio demo-
Gratis is short, and evidently a sincere ex-
preston of the sentiments of the party in
that state. 1t approves the declaration in
the national demo cratic platform Of 1855,
demanding a reduction Of tariff taxes, and
it holds the present tariff system response
BILE for the trusts and monopolies by which
the people are oppressed. Itfavors equitable
pension laws, and denounces the republican
party for its failure to carry out its pledges
IL behalf of civil service reform.
The Ohio democrats have good plat
form and a good ticket, and they Will
make good fight for control Of the state.
The nominee for governor is a man Of in
tegrity and ability. He is well qualified to
meet Gov. Foraker, the republican nomi-
nee, on the stump. If he is elected he will
make a much better governor than Fora
ker is.
The chances for the election Of demo-
cratic governor and democratic legisIa-
ture are excellent. The democrats have
carried the ate more than o ICE within he
last twenty years, and they propose to make
an extraordinary effort to carry it ths
year.
Gov. Fraker has lost some of his popu-
larity. The fact that he has dread been
cleo ed governor twice Will tell against him.
as there is quite a strong sentiment against
third term. The colored people are no.
altogether pleased with him. They have
$1,000 votes, and they ere dissatisfied be-
cause he has not given them any ffic IS of
consequence. A portion of them have
called a convention to meet at Toledo early
next month to consiler their grievances.
The result of their deliberations may be to
give the Republican party the cold shoulder,
in order to make it lderstand that the
black element in it cannot be ignored with
i'm Junity.
The contest will be all the more interest
ing because the legi lature that is to be
elected viii have the choosing of a United
States senator. Mr.. Halstead wants to go
10 the Senate, and it is understood that
Senator Payne wants to be reelected. They
and their friends will assist in making the
campaign a lively one.

SAVANNAH OF TO-DAY.
The Morning News Annual Trade Review
A Few Pointers in Relation Thereto.

The MORNING NEWS Annual Trade Re
view, containing complete and compre-
hensive statement Of the business of Savan-
nah, win be issued early in September.
The year ending Sept /, 1899, will be
memorable one i the history of Savannah,
and the MORNING News proposes to give
the widest publicity to what Savannah has
done, is doing, and proposes to do in the
near future There is no better way in
which the outside world can be informed of
what is going on in a community than
through the columns of its newspapers.
The MORNING News ia its forthcoming
Trade Review viii show by facts and
figures that Savannah is one of the most
progressive and healthy cities In the union,
and that her citizens, judging from what
they have done during the last year, arc
fully alive to the great ess of her future
They have proven by the various local i'm
provements they have made, and by the
active interest they have manifested in
Ad44- CelA9 HiOJCtbpQ AOt DSu6ul, budb
they are not afraid to invest their money
within her limits. They have demonstrated
beyond all doubt that they have contide ce
in her great natural advantages, and that
they believe that her deep water harbor
and her great railroad systems will, in a
few years, make her the greatest seaport
city in the south.
The MORNING NEWS will, in its Trade
Review, present to the word Savannah OF
to-day" In a resume Of what has hereto
fore appeared in its columns. The review
will be in such shape that, at a
glance, it will be seen what has
been accomplished during the year.
The Trade Review will contain articles
showing the bu mess of the city during the
year and present indiEputable facts which
promise a steadily increasing prosperity.
1t will establish the fact that there is nc
healthier city in the south and none more
pleasant in which to live and do business
either in summer or winter. 1t will
prove by figures that Savannah i,
without a rival on the South Atlantic
coast, and that by their acts her citizens
show that they are satisfied that she il
only at the beginning of her commercial
greatness.
The Trade Review will be printed in the
usual form, and will be newspaper which
those who feel pride in their city will
take pleasure in sending to their friends.
1t will afford business men an opportun
ity of saying something about their bushes
and themselves. 1t is hoped that in size, a
we'll as in other respects, it will sur as
every previous edition. That, however
depends entirely upon the orders it re
ceives from advertisers.
1t is desired to distribute $4,000 copies
and that number will be distributed, if til,
response of the business men is as prompt
and liberal as We have reason to believe i
will be,
Orders for advertising or for copies Of
the paper can be handed in at the business
office, or, if desired, they will be called fol-
by the canvassers.

Col. Derby and the Flag.
ErOnl The Den lier- Nelre

Some three or four weeks ago c. G. Coutant
of Lamar arrived at the Hotel Ramona at Cas-
ca ie Col. Derby, the manager shook him by
the hand, scanned his features earnestly for a
moment. and inquired:
Mr.; Coutant, were you ever in London, On
tario 90
Il was there once,' replied Coutant, ''about
1861, think"
Derby. You were at the Tecumseh house on
the night it was attacked by the mob"
Inc two shook hands, and the recognition
brought out the following story:
Col. Derby was native of Montgomery Ala
and was an ardent and enthusiastic confederat,
After the close of the war ne dr ted into Can
ada ana became manager of prominent hote
at London. During the excitement of the
Fenian invasion a very bitter feeling, as will be
remembered, existed all over Canada agains
the United States. and one evening a moo as
sembled about Col Deruys hotel in London and
demanded that he pull down the stars and
stripes which he had floating over the house.
The colonel very politely but fl mly declined to
comply with the demand. Then the excited
Canadians proposed to take them down, and
Col. Derby began vigorous measures for de
Tense.
The street was packed with an angry crowd,
and Its leaders were evidently b mt on raiding
the hotel. One flag hung outside Just above the
door, and this the mob succeeded in pulling
down by driving nails into large lie and
forming hook, with which they tore down the
airs and stripes. But when they attenI pied to
enter the hotel to reach the flag on the dome OF
the building they were met by Col. Derby and
the few Americans who happened to be stop
ping at the hotel, who Sworo they would kill the
first man who offered further insult to the ma
tional flag. There was a dangerous glitter in
the eye of the ex-confederate colonel as with
his revolvcrs he faced the Canadian mob and
warned them back. The American spirit con
quered; the mob hesitated, fell back, and dis
persed, and the old flag continued to float over
the hotel so / ng as Col. Derby remained its
Tine ibnidaut has re md
trates not only the personal bravery of the man,
but also the love of the American for the flag,
go matter what uniform he may have worn

Old Things, Yet Never Old.

There is no song like an old song
That We have not heard for years;
Each simple note appears to throng
With shapes that swim in tears
II may have been a cheerful strain,
But twas SO ljng ago
That glee, grown old, has turned to pain,
And mirtn las turned to Woe
There is no friend like an old friend,
Whose life path mates our own,
whose dawn and uOou. whose eve and end,
Have known what we have known.
1t may be when we read his face
We note trace Of care;
lis well tn 1t friend in life's last grace
Share signs as smiles they share.
There is no love like an old love,
A lost, may be, or dead,
whose place, since she has gone above,
No other fills instead.
1t is not Wen ne er love anew,
For life were dear II so,
But that first love had roots that grew
Where others eau not grow.
There are no days like old days,
When we. not they, We're young;
When all LIES rays were golden rays
And wrong had never stuug
Dear Heart. Ii now our steps could pass
Through paths of childhood's morn,
And the dew of youth lie on the grass
winch Times fell scyJue has shorn!
Old song. old friend, old love, old days;
Old things, yet never old;
A stream that's dark till sunshine plays
And changesit to gold;
Through all winds memory'S river on,
Mid banks of sore regret,
But gleamS on the peaks of long agone
That softens sadness yet

The Philadelphia Inquirer has some
rather peculiar notions. The other day it
wanted to know why &c orgia did not resort
to the law, instead of the lash. to prevent
Mormon missionaries from pursuing their
work of PROSECUTING ignorant people in this
state, just as if the law would not have
been resorted to long ago if that sort of
thing could be legally suppressed. Now it
accuses the southern press of d st 1rting the
facts relating to recent race troubles in the
south in such way as to reflect upol the
character of the colored people. The IN
qutrer forgets, perhaps, that the reports of
these occurrences that were published in
the southern newspapers were tie same
that were publ shed in northern ones, and
it ignores the fact that when northern
newspapers send correspondents south to
wlite up such affairs, the truth is gener-
ally distorted in a most remarkable man
ner, so that the southern white people NAV
be placed in an unfa orable light.
