THE NORTHWEST
Democratic Platform.

!. The Democracy of Ohio in convention as
sembled, approve the declaration Of principles made
b the national Democracy in st. Louis in 1885, and
especially that part of it demanding reduction OF
tariff taxes. We will continue the battle for tariff
reform until the cause Of the people is triumphant
2. We regard trusts, In whatever form organized
the legitimate result Of our present tariff system
and we demand the repeal of all tariff taxes that
able them to extort from the people exhorbitant
prices for the products they control.
3. we again acknowledge the great debt Of graft
and we declare in favor Of just, liberal and equit.
able pension laws.
4. We denounce the Republican administration
for its repeated violation of its pledges in behalf of
civil service reform.
s. We denounce the present State administration
the most partisan, demoralizing and extravagant
in history. We invite the careful investigation
of all citizens into financial affairs shown by
the official records.
6. We protest against the repeated enactment of
laws vesting the appointing power in the governor,
enabling him TO control the local boards of our lead
ing cities, which, depriving them of self govern
ment, constructs vast political machine that is at
oil times dangerous and In the hands of partisan
chief executive has become positive menace to the
people of the State.
7, The nomination of the governor OF Ohio for
third term in violation Of all precedent, by the no.
torOus and disgracefu use of patronage at his COM
mand is an outrage against the people and should
be rebuked at the polls.
8. We heartily favor home rule in ireland, we de-
mand lit also for Ohio While favoring all laws that
sacredy protect the ballot box and the honest voter
we demand the enactment of laws that will enable
cities te choose their own servants and control
their own affairs.

Anintimate friend of James E. Camp

Anintimate friend of James E. Camp
bell, Democratic nominee for governor,
says that during all the time that Mr..
Campbell has been in congress he has
never overlooked communication nor
sighted caller. Even during his
business hours, if tramp called at his
office Mr.. Campbell would see him and
hear what he had to say. He never
cut any ones story short, but would
hear it to the end. If it amounted to
anything Mr.. Campbell was doubly
grateful, and ifnot, he considered that
his time was we'll spent in learning the
character of his visitor. OF the thous-
ands ofletters received by Mr.. Camp
bell, not one remained unanswered.
He always found time to answer his
own correspondence, and never en-
ployed stenographer or private secre-
tary to do the work. Mr.. Campbell is
referred to by his friend as "a man out
of a million"

A Florida Story.
[ Starke Telegram

A farmer while COW hunting near
Sampson lake saw big flock of buz.
yards, among which, Judging from
the birds strange behavior, something
of interest must be going on. The buz.
yards were gathered around a large dead
alligator, and one of them had got his
foot fastened into the carcass in some
way and was unable to free himself.
Finally his comrades bit the foot off,
which caused its owner to scream pit
eously, but released him. Upon exam
ination the farmer found that the
stomach of the carcass contained huge
alligator turtle, which had been swal-
lowed while the saurian was alive. A
hole just big enough for the turtles
head had been made in the gators
hide by the birds, by which the turtle
had been able to capture its unsuspect-
ing victim. Although crushed out OF
all shape by the gators teeth, the tur.
tie had lost nothing of the pugnacity
peculiar to it's kind.

AN IRON RACE-HoRsE.
A Locomotive Capable of a Speed of
Seventy-fiVe Miles an Hour.

/
A locomotive, invented and patented
by Hungarian, NJ. Ala Besthy, Is an
nOunced as a startling novelty in rail-
way engineering. According to the
patentee, the ordinary speed of this en-
gine is TO be 75 miles an hour, and will
admit OF being increased by II miles an
hour. NJ. Besthy encases his engine
and tender in shell of thin iron, with
the sides parallel and tapered off in
front, somewhat resembling a plow-
share, and presenting smooth surfaces.
Where great speed is not absolutely re-
quired, but rather the pulling of very
heavy train, this engine is claimed to be
specially adapted by reason of the enor-
nous power it is capable of generating.
This power is secured, the patentee
contends, by two boilers 16t feet long.
the barrels of which stand one above
the other, 29S tubes two pair of cylin-
ders l53-inch diameter by 191-inch
stroke, and driving wheels 8 feet o!
inches in diameter. 1t might be con-
tended that the total length of engine
and tender is excessive, being 75 feet,
and the weight in working condition
81 tons-far too great; but this, it is
claimed, is obviated by placing the front
of the engine on a four-wheeled bogie,
the tender on six wheeled bogie, and
coupling the four drive wheels. This
provision prevents, it is also hoped, too
great stress on the rails, and with the
extra large wheel base, the engine is
capable of taking without difficulty a
curve as sharp as chains radius. If
this engine proves a success-as its pat
entee expects-the consumption of fuel,
on account ofdiminished air resistance,
will fall to point hitherto unthoughto of.
Although this new engine and tender
will be II tons heavier and % feet longer
than any at present running, the per-
manent way would, it is urged, be quite
strong enough.-RdiL,Ody NeaUs.

The Turning Of the Leaves.

A lunch was given at Flushing, L. l.,
last week to celebrate the turning of the
leaves. The walls of the dining room
into which the guests were ushered were
painted a yellowish cream, with brown
tones in the frieze and a flush of red in
the cornice warming the brown. The
fireplace and the deep window seats were
filed with maple boughs flashing from
yellow into the most vivid crimson.
Maple boughs hung from the chande-
liers, and twigs of maple and oak and
brownish yellow chestnut leaves filed a
huge old yellow bowl that stood in the
middle of the table. Tho hostess wore a
cream colored silk, with brown brocade
redingote and crimson sash, and flaming
leaves futtered down through the menu
cards that lay by the napkins. Each
guest received as favor a chestnut twig
bearing prickly burr, which, when
opened, proved to be satin lined bon
bonniere.-New York Mail and Express.

If the Republicans of Ohio desire tc
make an issue of Mr.. Campbell's vote
in Congress for free wool they can prob
ably be accommodated. If wool-grow
ing became less profitable after the in
sufficient reduction of duties in 1885
there was no such slaughtering of sheer
as followed the increase of the wool
duty so or 60 per cent. in 1867. In ten
years after this raise, under the highest
wool tariffe ever known, the number OF
sheep in this country diminished from
36,9S5,9S to S5,SO4 200. And it is a fact
that wool is lower to-day, and has been
lower during the greater part of the
high-tariff period, than it was when the
duty was first put on, sixty-four years

The prevalence of wild cat insurance
business in Ohio is illustrated by the
fact that policies were held by the Can.
astota glass company of Bowling Green
in eleven wild cat companies which re-
fuses to pay the loss on their policies.
This alarming condition of affairs is
easily explained when the demorali-
cation in the insurance commissioners
office is known. The principle clerk
there is young fellow named Bush
nell who draws 81 800 year because he
is nephew of Asa Bushnell. Ifyoung
Bushnell knew anything about the in
Surance business or even attempted to
do little work it would not be so bad,
but it is notorious fact that he is mere
ly q pensioner. This demoralizes the
entire force and Jacob McEwen, the
chief clerk, complained about Bush
nell doing nothing. The governor
heard of Mr.. McEwen's criticism and
summoned him to his presence. In his
usual autocratic manner His Royal
Highness Joseph Benson Foraker in
formed Mr.. McEwen that he was mere
ly employed as an expert and should
attend to no other business. He under
stood that he had criticised certain en-
ployes and wanted it stopped. Mr..
McEwen was thus arbitrarily stripped
of his power as chiefclerk and given to
understand that he was merely an ex-
pert without word to say about the
conduct of clerks.

THOUGHT WE'LL OF HORACE,
President NImick Says Few Feeling Words
About the Sick Manager.

President NImick says Few Feeling Words
About the Sick Manager.
President Nimick received two private
dispatches from Philadelphia last evening
regarding the condition of Manager Phil
lips. One was from Mrs. Phillips. She
said that Horace was asking for Mr..
Nimick every minute. The other was from
Mr.. Carmack, the proprietor of the Girard
Hotel. 1t was an answer to one sent by
Mr.. Nimick. asking definitely what Mr.
Phillips condition was. Mr.. Carmack re-
piled that the illness was fatal.
During a conversation with the writer
last evening regarding Mr.. Phillips sad
af1iction, President Nimick was visibly af-
fected. He said: 'I fear the worst and 1
don't think well see poor Horace well
again. 1 don't think that loss in my
family could have a greater effect on me
than the thought of losing that good and
kindly gentleman. His good qualities were
numerous, and nobody knew him better
than did. Should he never come among
us again, depend upon it he'll be missed. It
will be difficult to fill his place. I'm
sure those who have lately said unkind and
unreasonable things about him publicly
will now regret it. 1 never knew a man
who took ungenerous statements publicly
made about himself more to heart than
Horace. They had great effect on his
mind. and goodness knows, few people
have hurled lots of unkind and unreasona-
BILE statements at him recently"
In talking about the affairs of the club,
Mr.. Nimick said that for the present Mr..
Scandrett will manage the team. No other
arrangements will be made until further on.
When the club leaves home either Hanlon
or Dunlap may take charge.

Are Raising Any Number of Technical Pleas
to Worry the Prosecution.
CHICAGO. August 2.-The lawyers who
are defending the CroDin suspects are max
ing herculean efforts to obtain separate
trials for their clients. The motion for a
change of venue in behalf of Patrick OSul-
Iivan was argued before Judge Horton to-
day by the States Attorney and Attorney
David. The States Attorney maintained
that the petition was not prepared in statu-
tory form. Mr.. David said the petition
was in the form used in the Criminal Court
records, and that the Court must take judi
cial knowledge of the fact that the case
was actually pending before him.
Mr.. A. w. Browne, who appeared for
Woodruff, then startled the States Attorney
and the Court by contend1ng that if a
change of venue be granted to O'Sullivan it
did not apply to the other defendants, but
left them for trial before Judge Horton. He
said that his client had neither asked for nor
consented to a change of venue. He had a
right under the statutes to only one change
of venue, and if against his will the change
were forced upon him it would debar him
from exercising that right before any other
Judge.
Mr.. Longnecker wanted time to answer
these points, and the Judge took the case
under advisement until Monday, when the
States Attorney may argue some more. A
decision upon motions to qI1ash the indict-
ments of Woodruff, Beg,ys, Kunze and
Coughlin was also deferred to Monday.
Judge Horton has received a letter from
Kunze asking him to appoint an attorney
for his defense He has notyet done so.

To compare the above with the status of work
we have the following comparative figures: On
January 8, 1855. under construction. 1857;
under survey, $3.50: projected, 4,254. On Au-
gust 8, 1889, under construction, 1888; under
survey, l,497: projected, 8, 479 In comparing
these two sets of figures, it should be remem-
bered that the mileage "under construction"
includes lines for which contracts have been
laid and graded lines on which work is now at
a standstill but is expected to be resumed at an
early date, as well as the lines on which actual
construction is going on at the present time.
OF the S33 miles in the above total, not more
than 900 miles are being actively pushed to
completion at the present time. The mileage
classed as under survey includes a large
number of lines which have been more or less
definitely located, and are likely to go on but
on which engineers are not now at work; while
many surveyed lines on which the prospect for
future work is more indefinite, are classed
under projected"
A comparison of the two tables is of great
interest. Many Of the proposed roads which
were then under survey and were being
actively pushed by their promoters, have been
put back into the class of 'projects:' while
others have been left out Of this table entirely,
there being not life enough in the enterprise
at present to justify its inclusion in our list.

THE DRAGON DYING OUT.
A Once Terrible Animal That Seems to be

This is one of the most vicious of mytho-

shape and the number of eyes it has, as to
the size and kind Of tail. and location and
shape of its mouth, but on all other points,
and that it would be dangerous to encounter
one single-handed, they agree.
The dragon was used by the ancients to
tell stories about to women and children to
keep them properly frightened. But since
the necessity for keeping the weaker portion
of the population in a state Of fear and
trembling has passed, the use of the dragon
has died out As source of terror to wo-
men the mouse takes its place, and is emil
