The Democratic Platform.


AS there is some discussion over
what the platform says and what it
does not say, it is published below as
adopted by the convention, and not
as framed at first by the committee:
l. That we, the Democracy of Texas
in convention assembled, pledge anew
our devotion to the time-honored
principles of Democracy, and re-afirm
the principles announced in the last
national and State platforms.
2. That the government of the
United States has only the powers ex-
pressly given it in the constitution of
the United States, and the amend e
ments thereto, and we believe that
the perpetuity of the union created
by said constitution and amendments,
constitutionally and consistently, with
popular liberty and the blessings Of
local self government can be secured
only by the jealous confinement Of the
federal government in all its depart
ments to the legitimate and economic
exercise of the powers so expressly
conferred upon it.
3. That on this principle we oppose
any tariff or duty for other purposes
than revenue only. We oppose the
collection and distribution of the
federal government, of any money in
aid of the educational systems of the
several states or my OF them or in any
way of advancement, or loan to any
citizens or class, upon any sort OF Sc
curity, whether government OF COM
mercial bonds, farm or other products.
We oppose the election law recently
passed by the republican house of rep
resentatives, and condemn all the re-
cent encroachments by the federal
judiciary upon the power of the states.
4. That in free representative
government there is no room for any
life tenure of any Office, and of such
tenure is born arbitrary and irrespon-
sible power. Therefore we favor an
amendment to the Federal constitu'
ton, limiting the tenure of Federal
Offices to a reasonable term OF years.
5. That we are opposed to the con-
tinuance OF the national banking sys-
tenn and demand the adjustment
thereof as soon as by law the same
can be done. We demand the passage
of all necessary laws preventing the
creation of trusts and providing for
the dissolution of those now in exist
ence. That we are now in favor OF
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer, and endorse the action OF our
senators and representatives therefor.
We oppose paternalism in all its
forms and, acting upon this principle,
we oppose ownership by the govern
ment of the railways and telegraph
lines OF the State as destructive to the
rights and liberties of the people and
tending 10 the establishment of des-
potic government.
6. We believe that it is the right
and duty of the States to regulate ana
control the public highways within Its
limits and that effective regulation Is
imnrActicable without the agency OF a
railway commission. Therefore we

A SUCCESSFUL MISSION.

Close Of the Interesting Services at St.
Luke's Church.
The mission services at st. Luke's
Episcopal Church, on the Island, were
brought to close yesterday. after one
of the most instructive and altogether
successful series OF religious sessions
ever held in the city. The morning
session yesterday was well attended,
and Rev. Mr.. Christensen talked enter
tainingly as usual, but perhaps one OF
the largest asscmblages OF the mission
was that which greeted the gifted
speaker on the occasion OF his farewell
sermon last evening. The church was
completely filled with eager listen
els. Mr.. Christensen took for the
subject of his discourse "lIeaven,"
and gave such a picture Of that blest
abode as did not fail to move the listen
erS. The sermon throughout was re-
plctc with valuable suggestions and apt
illustrations, and all were thoroughly
pleased with the discourse. Rev. Mr..
Carstensen's sojourn in Wheeling has
been an enjoyable one to all with whom
he has come in contact, and the i'm
pressions he will leave behind, will be
most kindly and lasting. There is some
talk of getting Mr.. Christensen to conduct
a mission at ST. Matthew'S Episcopal
Church in this city after lent.

On a Rampage.

Last night colored man by the name
OF Abe Fletcher decided to have a rip
roaring tear and general walk around
town. Whether Fletcher was drunk or
insane has not yet been fully deter
mined, but at all events he succeeded In
carrying out his purpose. Early in the
evening he cleaned everything, animate
and inanimate, out of Biddle's saloon,
on Market square, and made life decid-
edly miserable for the occupants inside.
FLETCHER then entered saloon run
by colored man, and after put.
ting scarlet tint on the
interior, crept off into the rear OF
the place and laid down. Officer Wat
son was notified, and it was here that
he arrested him, but not without con-
siderable difficulty Fletcher showed
fight, and rushed at Watson with a
poker, and the officer in order to keep
his man in submission gave the fellow
few well-directed blows with the
billy. He was then taken to the police
station.

Tint Citizens, Ticket.

There was another meeting OF the
Central Prohibition Club at McLain's
Hall last evening for the purpose OF
discussing the ACCESSIBILITY of putting a
citizens ticket in the field. There
were twenty-three persons present, in
Guiding four ladies. One purpose OF
the meeting was to resume the debate
between Messrs. Martin and Watkins,
Mr.. Watkins, was unavoidably out OF
town, and the debate was postponed.
Early in the evening it was discovered
by one of the members Of the club that
the election Of officers at the meeting
last Tuesday night was irregular
and illegal, owing to proper
notice Of the same not being
given through the papers.
A long discussion followed, in which all
the parliamentary fuel that could be
gathered together, was brought into
play, and about all the members present
took a hand in the lively war OF words.
This discussion occupied almost the en-
tire evening, and there was no allssion
whatever during the evening to the
political situation. 1t was finally de-
cided that the officers were all Illegally
elected, and II will all have to be done
over again in December on the fourth
Tuesday. An entertainment will follow
the next regular election, and commit
tees were appointed to provide for the
same.

A Taste of the French.

The 'ClemenceauC Case, was presented
to crowded house at the Opera House
last evening. The audience was mainly
composed of the male sex. The play is
very French, that is to say, 1t is French
in its diction. and action and construc-
ton. 1t, is not an Immoral play to those
who do not look in it for immortality.
The French ''realsm" was omitted en-
tirely from the play last evening, and
those who went to behold the sensa-
tional scene in the second act, which
caused the play to be suppressed in sew
eral cities, were disappointed. LA"
the realistic model was not 'in it," In
fact the audience, il necessary, could
have stood less clothes on the model and
more on the lines of the play. There
are but four characters in the play OF
any prominence, and these were pre-
sented acceptably by the company.
Though the play was ''cut" unmerci-
fully, still there was enough left TO
please the audience, and there were re-
calls at the close of every act.

Taken to Moundsville.

Frank McAdams, who in connection
with George McAdams, was charged
with abducting iifteen-year-old girl
named Effie l.. Lucas, of Moundsville,
was arrested yesterday morning by Off
Ger Donnelly and put in jail. The girl was
found in a boat house Monday evening
with George McAdams, the police being
unable to find Frank at the time. The
fellow was found in boat hoose. He
was taken to Moundsville yesterday
afternoon by Officer Donnelly, where he
will be tried. On the way to the train,
to prevent any possibility of escape, the
prisoner was handcuffed, which seemed
TO rile the disposition of McAdams, and
he was disposed to quarrel.

WHEELING, w. va, November %.
To The Editor Of he Register.
SIR:-The new building ordinance"
now being framed by the City Solicitor
is measure of vital Importance to all
property holders, architects and con-
tractors in the city, and those portions
OF it relating to the qualifications nee
essary to it man for the Office of
building Inspector cannot be too
carefully considered to save trouble in
the future. No one should be eligible
for said Office but a man who is thor
oughly capable of understanding the
plans which are to be brought before
him, and also he should have thorough
knowledge Of all the various branches
of the trades in the building connection.
Probably no part Of the work on build
ing is usually more cut down Ito save
eXpense), than the plumbing, which in
view of the effect defective plumbing
has upon the public health, should be
the part OF the work that should be the
most complete, all supply and waste
pipes being OF sufficient size TO
insure the proper flushing OF the sewer
pipes; and the trapping and ventilating
of the various fixtures separately to in
sure against the escape OF sewer gas
into buildings, should be insisted upon.
Would it not be good plan for
Council to appoint as a committee to
examine applicants for the Office OF In
spector one architect, and one member
of each of the following trades: Stone
mason, brickmason. carpenter, plumber,
tinworker and painter? Each of these
parties to be contractor in active bust
ness in his branch of work. The said
committee to be paid fair remunera-
ton for their labor. In this way we
would secure a competent man for Office
aud not an ignoramus.
