DEMOCRATIC COUNTY PLATFORM

DEMOOnhlAO OOCNH1 IhhkEohA
There are seven resolves" in the
platform of the Allen county Democ-
racy, but there are only two distinc-
lively Democratic principals promul-
gated,-for free trade and against fair
elections. We quote:
First, That we indorse Grover Uevelsnd's
tariff reform messages to Congress.
Third, We denounce the Mckinley bill, and
all other Republican measures to perpetuate the
robbery of the farmers. and tender, Is Demo-
Gratis helping hand to manual labor and give
Il our sympathies in its contest with organized
capital.
Seventh, We hail with pride the awakening
Of the people to economic reform and are glad
TO see them falling into line with the Democrat
ic party on this issue.
These three planks are only pieces
from the same original board and
might have been put into four words:
ave favor free trade" That is one
distinctly Democratic principle. We
quote again:
Fourth: We denounce the Force bill now
pending in Congress, as q corrupt party meas
ure intended to pcrpetuste the Republican par
ty in power.
That might have been put into six
words: "We are opposed to fair cleo
tions." That is the second distinctive
ly Democratic principle I'm the plat
form.
AS for the rest of the platform 1t is
squarely Republican. This one for ex-
ample:
Second, We demand the free coinage of sill
YER.
That has been in every Republican
platform i'm Kansas for two years.
And the demand has been so nearly
met by the legislation of Republican
Congress-over the head of unanimous
Democratic opposition-that the silver
dollar which was only worth 73 cents
under Grover Cleveland, is now worth
% cents. 1t will be worth 100 cents
within six months.
And again:
Fifth, We demand legislation disallowing
aliens to acquire It'll, to lands, and the rever.
sion Of such acquisitions to the Government on
just repayment, and that the public domains
| remain open to homestead only.
The Republican county convention
a week before this one was held, said
the same thing and said 1t better.
And finally:
Sixth, We demand board of railroad com
missioners elected ly the people, and that rail
i roads be assessed at their actual value.
The Republican Congressional con-
vention which met at Kansas City
August 5, originated that demand.
So the platform Of the Allen county
Democracy might be fully and accur
ately summed up as follows:
| FIssr: We favor free trade.
4 SECOND: We oppose fair elections.
| Third: For this and other planks see Repub-
| iican platforms. Them's our'n too.

Ok Tuesday Sept. 2, the Democrats

as a corrupt party measure, intended
TO perpetuate the Republican party in
power" On the same day the papers
contained the following dispatch:
LITTLE Rock, ARK, September /.
The grossest frauds and outrages
appear to have been committed by the
Democrats in every Republican coun-
ty to-day, and If the reports received
here mp to 10 o'clock tonight are verb
fled, they have probably succeeded in
retaining control of the State govern
ment. A special from Camden, Ouachi-
Ia county lust received, says Lafayette,
the largest Republican township in
that county, was raided by band CT
armed men tonight and the ballot
box carried>oR. Two negroes who Of

THREE candidates announce them

THREE candidates announce them
selves in this issue for the Office of
Trustee, subject to the Republican
primary. All of them are too well
known to need introduction from US.
Mr.. Cook is the present incumbent in
the Office, and those whom he has
served are the best judges of his quail
ification to serve again. Mr.. Munger
and Mr.. Ling are both old citizens,
staunch Republicans, and well known
as careful, honorable business men.
The REGISTER is glad it doesn't have
the sole responsibility of naming the
candidate, for it would find it hard
among these three to make a choice.

Teachers Association.

The Allen county Teachers AssOci-
alton met in the High School room at
lola Sept. 6, with about twenty-five
feathers present.
A paper upon the subject "How may
the will of the child be properly direc-
ted and strengthened" was read by
l.. L. Carter. He clearly expressed
the idea that to strengthen the will,
the teacher should assist his pupils in
discovery, but should do no work for
him unless he is confident the pupil
has no power to do the work himself.
Supt. Barber followed and by q few
remarks brought out the thought that
the reason SO many failed i'm properly
directing the will Is largely due to the
failure to discern between the will and
stubbornness.
A paper upon "Wise methods of
discipline" was read by Prof. G.. l..
Whitehill. Among the many good
thoughts contained in his paper were
the following: "a school devoid of
discipline is not worthy of tine name,
and a teacher who cannot exercise a
summary control over his pupils has
certainly missed his calling. = =
The success in disciplining must rest
within the teacher himself.
Love is the basis of home life; justice
the basis Of school life. and when we
try to conduct school on the basis of
love ii is hard on love and ruinous to
the SCHOOL, On the subject of corpor-
al punishment he referred to Prov. xix;
Is. Mr.. III. +. Hamm being absent,

was read by f. G. Remsberg He says
the teacher should not use all his pow
ers In governing, but hold portion in
reserve. 1t L. the unseen powers that
the pupils cannot fathOnI, and IL he
is led to believe there is no reserve he
will plan and act accordingly.

and sent to Col SBayne at Fort Keough, to

The petition sets forth the present trouble
and It's causes, and asks the government to

has gone to Cheyenne agency to investigate
the trouble and to impress upon Maj. Carroll

a Broken CORNER IN ICE.-The ice Ger
ner in New York is seid to be broken o.
ready. John McDermott, one of the largest
retail butchers in the Washington Market,
declared that ice ia now offered on the
wharf at 80 cents per 100 pounds. As the
came ice was selling ut GO cents per 100
pounds on Monday he drop isa big one, il
true. O.her marketmen were of the opD-
ion that the people who have been holding
ice in Maine and oo Lake Champaie are
getting tired of seeing 1t going to waste and
have shipped big qaantiti,s to New York.
The result is market overstocked With
the most perishahle Of commodities. The
low price may he only temporary, "a the
big spectators have too much at
stake TO allow the thousands of tons of ice
which they have obtained at big prices to go
for half price. There are so many specu!at-
ors engaged in the ice business now that 1t
would not be at all surprising if it were
found that they have overreacbed them
selves. and By putting up the price of ice
have decreased the consumption to such an
extent that they cannot realize on their pun
chases. Thousands OF families in that city
and vicinity, who usually consume from 100
to 200 pounds per week, are using no Ice at
