PLATFORM AND RESOLUTIONS

Adopted by the Republican State Convention
held at Virginia City. Nevada, september 18th,
1890:
The record of the Republican party is its best
platform.
No political party in human history has taken
such advanced positions for the equality OF
races, none has so welded the administration
of authority to the needs OF business, none has
SO managed the affairs of State as to encourage
the dev elOpment and settlement OF continent
none has SO elev ated a nation and so contribut-
ed to the comfort and happiness Of man, none
has so honestly and economically carried on
the routine duties of offiee.
In all things II has been the direct opposite OF
the Democratic party. Grand in its ambitions
and impulses. firm and resoiute in Its consist
ency, strong in its devotion to principle, Ii Is
now, As 1t has been from its birth, the represent
alive of all that is best and noblest in its own
country and hope and promise OF better future
for the human race.
Its battles for human rights, its preservation
of the Union, its abolition of slavery, its pro-
lection to labor, its elevation of manufacturers.
its upholding OF the national credit, rs efforts
in behalf of honest financial methods, its home
stead System and its devotion to popular epuca-
ton have made for 1t the greatest record OF any
political organization this or any other country
ever had.
The names of its heroes are legion, and the
deeds Of Fremont, Lincoln, Grant and Garfield
will shine like electric lights on the pages OF
history.
The Republicans of Nevada in convention as
sembled, heartily indorse the acts of the hfty-
first Congress. which has made greater advances
in correct and needed legislation than any since
the var.

FashiDnab.e fad in Disease.

The fashionable fad for diseases over
here, while waiting for insomnia to reign
supreme, IS malaria. 1t supplanted in
digestion, just as indigestion supplanted
nerves. In France the moral or mental
result Of this real or imagined fad is called
ennui, which is entirely Ineligible,
though too Elusive to be confined to the
narrow limits of translation or definition
Physicians encourage the idea of malaria
1t agrees with the preconceived theories of
patients. 1t lays the blame on locality or
plumbers and takes the blame off the in
dividual's late hours and Incorporate
meals. 1t puts the responsibility on cir
cumstances and acquits the patient 1t
1nlpeaches nature and excuses the non-ob-
servance Of her laws
ApropOs of malaria an assembly over
here, equally composed Of physicians and
clergymen, was startled by an after din
ner speaker whom they would call out the
other evening, when he gravely described
malaria as the cause of all diseases and
deliberately showed, to his own satisfaction
at least-and backed it with many plausi-
Die arguments-that of malaria the cause
was poor preachingl He drew a parallel
between the symptoms OF malaria and the
various conditions and attitudes through
which man went in going to sleep in
church. The prevalence Of malarial com
plants in country regions where the
preaching is poor and summer visitors
abound, was dwelt upon. When the
speaker finished il Was difficult to tell
whether the clergymen or the doctors
were more laughinGly indignant.-Brook-

4 Grave Yankee Soldier

''The bravest YANKEE soldier 1 ever
saw" says Hon. Henry W. Flournoy,
secretary of the commonwealth of Vir-
ginia, participated in one of the fights in
Ehe valley of Virginia. 1t was during
Sheridan's raid in the valley. Our com
pany Of cavalry was going across a broad
and level field at a sweeping gallop. In
the woods ! saw a solitary Yankee soldier
sitting upon a horse, and I noticed that
every now and then dust as fast as he
could load lie wOIld fire down our line.
Pop, pop, pop would go his rife, and de-
termined to capture him. l entered the
woods without his seeing me and came up
in the rear of him. l had a fine seven
shooter in my hand and intended to use it
IN case of an emergency. l rode up toward
him as quietly as l could, and had my pis-
tol cooked ready for use if he attempted
fight. Suddenly he turned and saw me, and
IN an instant raised his rife. I leveIed my
pistol, but he was quicker than /, and the
ball from his rifle passed through my neck.
a few moments afterward there was a
general skirmish, but / was badly wound
ed, and did not know what became Of the
fellow who shot me and who stood solitary
and alone in the very face Of a whole COM
paily of Confederate cavalry and resisted
them.-Chicago Times.

difficulty from his half articulate speech.
was that lac had two papers still unsold
and that he could nor go howe until he
had disposed of his entire stock. An en-
treaty to purchase the soiled and half
PUPPY remnant melted into tears. As the
poorly clad, shiyering little fellow stood
in the rain, offering his merchandise and
his narrative, the spectacle was a pitiful
one, even for the most hardened observer
of the devices Of the highway. / asked
him where lie lived, and told him l would

Queer TITLES for Inventions.

IN looking over the list of patents re-
ferred to an element Of mystery as well an
element CT humor, seemed to relieve its
somewhat prOsaic features. The patent
granted for cap litter for co,Iins' had
a certain combination of ObscUrity and
gloom which excited a reflective melan-
chOly, but as the next invention on the
list was a SHANK stiffener,'' there was a
reaction Of curiosity to ascertain whether
the two inventions had anything in com
mon. Another invention, a ''sole and
heel edge blacker for boots and shoes, +"
struck me as an evidence of the way in
which convenient appliances for polishing
the understanding, so TO speak, have been
specialized. My imagination had some
scope in determining whether the patent
for ''crimping machine applied to On
invention for the benefit Of the ladys
dress or q derice for the arrangement of
her hair, and another patent for an ''elec-
tric switch left me in uncertainty
whether railroading or hair dressing was
TO profit by it. A 'hcddle for Iooms''
was even more Of a puzzle to me, as had
never heard of the first mentioned article
and could only conjecture that it had
something to do with 4 weaving machine.
