The Ohio democrats have managed 10 bridge
the chssm between the two elements Of their
party by choosing q platform from one and q
candidate from the other. Mr.. Campbell, the
head Of the new ticket, was nominated after the
adoption Of the platform, and hence found his
principles ready-made for his hand. He &C.
espted the situation with admirable tact. and
made . speech in which, under proper safe
guards, the tariff reform idea IL neatly set
forth. II viii be observed that the platform
Itself contains no original suggestions CT argu-
nents on that head. II contents itself with
Saying ditto to Mr.. Burke" and approving
The declarations made by the national de-
mocracy in st. Louis in 1883" And
What was that2 Simply that 'au taxa
tioa shall be limited to the re-
quirsments of economical government" that
any reduction made in the tariff schedules
should be cautious and conservative in
method" without imposing lower rates Of duty
than win be ample to cover any increased cost
Of production which may exist in consequence
Of the higher rate Of wages prevailing in this
country" and that, as ''many industries have
come to rely upon legislation for successful con-
tnuance, any change Of law must be At
every step regardful Of the labor and capital
thus involved"
The noteworthy feature Of the democratic
national platform of 1888. which becomes, by
transference, that Of the Ohio democratic plat
form Of 1889, was the absence Of any reference
10 the Mills tariff bill, accepted by the country
81 large Is the concrete exponent of the party's
abstract principles. Mr.. Campbell supplies
this omission in his speech Of acceptance by
referring 10 "tarif reform bill passed by the
democrats in the House of Representatives and
repudiated by the republicans in the Senate
- free trade Measures statement care
fully tempered BY the prophecy that the
democrats, when they return to power in fed
eral affairs, would revise the tariff, not to de-
stroy it, but to reform it The whole Of his
allusion to tariff questions, however, was a mere
paragraph in a speech devoted almost entirely
to subjects OF local interest. This is in accord
with the program outlined in this column yes
terday, and viii be found to typify Mr.. Camp
bells campaign for the next two months. The
republicans will try to force the fighting on the
tariff issue; but there is no hazard in saying
that the democrats will use every weapon in
their possession, and every form of tactics
within their knowledge, to put Governor For
aker's administration on the defensive and win
or lose on that ground alone.

Of course, and swelIed the chorus that made

repay the veterans for the time and trouble

When Postmaster Ross returned from Boston
the other day, he was full Of admiration for GER
tain features of the post Office system in that city,
II now looks As il the postmaster at Boston had
been learning few lessons also. The papers
there, at any rate, are full Of references to the
establishment of stations at stores in various
parts OF the city, where mail matter can be
weighed, stamped and deposited without a
trip 70 the main ofice-a special con-
venienee in the case of parcels of newspapers
and merchandise, which would be lost il
not fully prepaid, and which are too
large to pas through the openings in the
lamp-post boxes. A like encomium is visited
upon the large reeeptacies for packages set at
several Of the street corners As supplements to
the ietter-ooxes, sheltering their contents from
the weather and protecting them from thieves,
perks to which matter piled on the tops Of the
small boxes are subject. These novelties for
Boston are rather ancient institutions for wash.
ington- Perhaps Mr.. Ross's trip 10 the east
was productive, not Of one-sided, but Of re-
ciprocal benefits.

The discussion at the District building con-
corning delays and imperfections in the work
Of resurfacing Pennsylvania avenue has re-
suited In substantial benefits to the public. The
paving Of the tracks has been hastened, the
quality Of the pavement has been somewhat
improved, and the railway company has made
a binding promise. on the strength of which q
temporary paving not up to the legal require
ments is permitted, to lay asphalt between its
rails and substitute an improved motor for
horses within year. The capital looks for
ward with joyful anticipations to the time when
the broad surface of the avenue shall be
smooth, hard, and kept constantly in repair,
when the rails shall be flush with the surface
Of the street and the cobblestone railway ridges
shan vanish, and when electricity, either in
storage batteries or through underground
wires, shall furnish the cars swift, clean and
noiseless motive power. There will then be no
notifying features to subdue the pride Of
Washington in the possession of the finest pa
rads street on the continent.

The record Of Atlantic transit has been broken
again, and by the City Of Paris, which stood
already at the head Of the list Of ocean coursers.
Her best time is five days, nineteen hours and
eighteen minutes for the Ass miles from Cork
harbor to Sandy Hook. In view Of the unusual
number Of icebergs reported as afoat this sum-
mer, and in the track of some Of the lines
working farthest south, it will be q wonder il
the season Of fast travel closes without an acct
dent Of some kind. When a fine steamer has
been wrecked, and large part Of her pas
ssngers and crew lost as the result of this
practice Of sacrificing everything else to speed,
there will be a sudden shift Of public interest
from record-breaking to record-mending; and
the line which can point to the least broken
record for safe and cautious management will
win the best-paying traffic from the rest.

HE WANTS HIS FINGERS.
A Local Incident illustrating the
Faith and Courage OF a
Bow,


The little boy Jose Montez Flores,
who was seriously injured some days
ago by the firing Of dynamite cart
ridge, as reported, was seen by a
LIGHT reporter this morning. Little
Jose was able to sit up and was APP
parent thy doing well. His torn fingers
are healing, his burned hand is all
right, and his eyes injured slightly,
but painfully, are now eased. He
was sustained by his mother, and
Father Genolin seemed much pleased
with the many sympathetic presents
he had received from friends.
Father GenOlin, in answer to the
LIGHTS enquiry said: "The boy is
doing we'll, and is out of danger. 1t
is a severe lesson to him, but he only
made a mistake that any other per-
son, ignorant of the appearance of
cartridge could have made, for they
resemble merely an empty pistol
shell. For long time he suffered
much, although everything that
could be done for him was gladly
done. His worst pain came from the
eyes. This was cured by faith,
prayer and that -. Here the
reverend father pointed to the
picture of saint that was
on the wall at the foot of the boys
bed. On shelffrontin git was a glass
containing oil in which floated a wick.
"That is the picture of the blessed
Saint Veronica, who, you will remem-
Der, wiped the Saviour's face with a
napkin as he was on his way to the
cross. That deed of charity made her
blessed, gave her immortality and
was rewarded by the picture of the
Saviour being miraculously imprinted
upon the napkin. We prayed, an
nointed his eyes with the blessed oil
Ease came at once to him and now he
has no pain. His injuries were Sc
rious and it was feared death must
follow, but he is now all right.
The little boy, who is very pleasant
and intelligent, enqured anxiously
about his fingers and wanted to re-
cover the remains of his hand that
were blown away when the accident
| happened. He was told that Mr.. Will
lie Huth had them. AS the reporter
| left, he said, do please tell him to
take care of my fingers and nails, for
as soon as go out L will call fol-
them"

SHERMAN'S ELECTION BILL.


The bill recently submitted to the
senate of the United States, by the
Hon. John Sherman of Ohio, is radi-
cal measure and if it becomes law
will etfectually sever all congression-
al elections from state control and
place them directly and fully under
federal regulation. The bill evident
ly framed to meet the demand for
full vote, free ballot and a fair count
in all the states, proceeds upon the
hypothesis that congress has the
right to control the election OF its
members, without any interference
with or on the part Of the state. The
bill as presented by Mr.. Sherman,
and which was read twice and re-
ferred to the committee on privileges
and elections, provides for "board
of state canvassers" of five members,
appointed by the president and con-
firmed by the senate, the same to be
voters of the state in which appointed
and to hold Office during good be-
havior; also, an electoral board" of
three for each congressional district,
to be appointed in the same manner
as the board of state canvassers,
the members thereof to be quail
fed voters of the congressional
district in which they are appointed.
These officers are all required to take
a stringent oath of Office and fines and
imprisonment are imposed as penal
ties for violation of official oath or
malfeasance in office. 1t is made the
duty of the electoral board to appoint
a registrar for each precinct or election
district, said registrar to hold office
for six years. The bill goes into detail
as to the duties OF these registrars,
electoral boards, and boards of state
canvassers, and makes specific provi-
sion for carrying out their work. II
arranges for, requires and conpels a
complete registration of all who vote
at congressional elections; imposes
fines and imprisonment for illegal reg.
istratiOn, as well as for attempted in.
timidation, fraud and illegal voting
provides for transferring names OF
those who change residence from one
TeSISOIdI IOllS W duOGHolJ "nlCl
must be done by certificate Of dis
charge from the former rolls. Oaths
of office, forms of registration
blanks, certificates of election
methods of counting votes, seal
ing and transmitting boxes tc
board of state canvassers and all else
necessary to fully provide for al
things to be done in order to carry our
design of the bill are very plainly laid
down. The bill is a very ably drafted
and well digested plan for insuring
to every legal voter in the United
States the privilege Of casting his bal.
lot at a congressional election and
having that ballot counted as cast.
The entirely new departure taken by
this bill will not be acceptable to
those who gain representation in the
