We renew our opposition to the uncon-
stitutional and unjust policy of high
tariff taxation, which robs the many to
enrich the few; makes the producer the
slave of the manufacturer; lays its heav-
lest burdens on the farmer, the mechanic
and the day laborer, whom it daily robs;
gives no return through any channel and
fosters trusts, which are the legitimate
result of our present tariff system, and
we denounce the fallacy of the Repub-
lican state platform of Iowa, that high
tariff is or can be any protection to the
farmer.

NEW YORK.

The Democratic party of the state of
New York, in convention assembled, re-
news the pledges of its fidelity to Demo-
cratic faith and reaffirms the doctrines
of the national platform of 1883, adopted
at st. Louis. We have not advocated
and do not advocate free trade, but we
steadfastly advocate the principles of
tariff reform, believing that adherence
to the right alone carries in itself the
certainty of triumph. We heartily in
dorse the honest and fearless admins
tration of the national government by
Grover Cleveland.

OHIO,

The Democracy of Ohio, in convention
assembled, approve the declaration of
principles made by the national Democ-
racy in st. Louis in 1888, and especially
that part of it demanding reduction of
tariff taxes, and we will continue the
battle for tariff reform until the cause of
the people is triumphant.
we regard trusts, in whatever form
organized, as the legitimate result of our
present tariff system; and we demand
the repeal of all tariff taxes that enable
them to extort from the people the ex-
orbitant prices for the products they con-
troll.

MASSACHUSETTS,.

Meeting for the first time since the de-
feat of last year, we declare our con-
tinued and hearty support of the cause
of tariff reform for which we then con-
tended, and our firm conviction of its
success in the near future.
We reaffirm our demands for free raw
materials and lower duties upon the ne
cessities of life. We believe that free
wool, as provided for in the bill passed
by the Democratic majority of the last
house Of representatives, is essential to
the prosperity of the wooden industry,
upon which that of the wool grower is
dependent, while it will afford relief to
all consumers of wooden goods. We call
the particular attention of the farmers
of this state, who have borne the heavy
burden of high tariff taxation without
any of the prosperity promised them,
to the relief they will receive through
the reduction of customs taxes upon ar
ticles which they use or consume.

Underground Heroes.

New YORK NOrlu.
The grimy fellows who have been toll.
ing for days TO rescue the entombed miners
at Dunbar, Pa, are fl companions for
those who lead forlorn hopes in war.
Indeed, their heroism is of a nobler sort
than any that war can show, for their
deeds of daring and endurance are done
for sheer love of their fellow-men with
out the compulsion Of discipline, the in
spration of enthusiasm or the hopes of
applause or reward.
Unseen Of men, there in the bowels of
the earth, these men have wrought with
pick and shovel till they fell insensible
from exhaustion. They have put their
own lives in instant and imminent peril
by pushing their tunnel forward withou
pausing to construct proper supports, lest
delay to reach the end should prove fatal
to the men they hope to rescue.
These are true heroes of courage and
endurance, and it is a reproach to our
civilization that it has devised no means
of fifty recognizing such self sacrifices as
theirs, but preserves in this industrial
age the false traditions inherited from a
military epoch, and reserves its highest
admiration for deeds of daring in the de-
struction rather than in the salvation of
human life.

FATAL WORK OF THE LIGHTNING
ON SUNDAY EVENING.
A Woman Killed and a Young Man Prob
ably Fatally Stunned in Upper Prospect
During Last Sundays Thunder storm
Almost a Fire from the Lightning-A
Cow Killed by the Same Stroke.

During the prevalence of the thunder
storm on Sunday evening the lightning
struck house in Upper Prospect, in
stantly killing one of Its occupants and
perhaps fatally iniuring young man who
was at the house, just across the street
from his home. The particulars, as near
as can be learned, are about as follows
Patrick Stanton lives in Upper Pros
pect. During the thunderstorm yester-
day evening he noticed binding flash of
lightning followed almost the same instant
oy terrific peal of thunder. He knew
that it had struck not far distant. Look
ing out he saw something was wrong at a
house nearly across the street from his. He
at once ran over and found the woman
who lived there-Mrs, StanleY-lying
just outside the door. Smoke wa is
suing from the open door. The woman
was picked up, but was found to be life
less. The men then turned to look to the
fire. On entering the room they STUN
bled over another body, which proved to
be John, the eighteen-year-ol son of Mr..
Stanton. When he was, dragged out he
seemed to be dead, but after being
in the fresh air short time he
partly revived and was carried home.
Medical aid was summoned, but not much
relief could be afforded him. He was
very nervous and much agitatcd, his
limbs contracting and trembling like a
person severely afflicted with st. Vitus'
dance. The flesh on his right side was
all raw from his arm to the thigh, and his
left foot about the instep was in like
condition. His left shoe was also torn.
1t is thought he will recover.
At the time of the stroke Stanton and
the woman were standing in the door
of her home. He had got home from
work shortly before, and was out watch
ing the approaching storm. When it
came on he stepped into Mrs. Stanleys.
Both were knocked down, she falling out
and he in. The boltpassed down through
to tie open cellar under the house in
which stood a COW. She also was killed.

PIE FOR SIXTEEN IN LONDON.

An American Traveller Finds Amusement
in Place That Fascinated Dickens.
There is pie shop in London that
Charles Dickens used to stand before.
when, as a ctlld, he drudged in black
ing factory. Every day, on his way to
and from work, he paused to de-
your the viands with his eyes, and
sometimes, as he said, he pressed his
tongue to the window panes, as if by
doing that he got little bit of taste of
the good things that lay so near, yet so
far beyond his reach. An American rail-
road man, who admires Dickens, hunted
up this pie shop when he was recently in
London, in order to crafty sentiment aud
curiosity. 1t proved to be mere box of
place, in poor quarter of the city, but
the original business was still conducted
there, and pastry OF doubtfully uncertain
age still occupied the window. AS ths
traveller peered into the shadowy interior
voice piped at his elbow; "Please, sir,
will you buy me veal pie?"
The owner of the voice was small. dis.
heVelled person, with whom veal pie or
any other kind would have agreed right
well, and he made his request from
motives of undOubted and strenuous per-
sonal interest. The American replied, as
Americans do sometimes, with another,
question
" How many boys do you suppose that
shop could hold f?
" | dunno. About fifteen or sixteen.
should think"
" Well, you go and get fifteen more
boys, and bring them back here"
The boy studied the mans face for
moment as if to make sure that he was
in the enjoyment of his senses, then hurl-
ed himself into side street with yasl.
Hardly minute elapsed before he re-
turned, the head of procession of Six
teen gamins, assorted as to size and cloth
ing, unanimous in appetite and hope.
This ragged battalion assembled close be.
hind the benefactor and followed him pre-.
cipitately into the shop when he announc-
ed that ne was going to give them all the
pie they wanted. For a quarter of an
hour the astonished baker served " veal
an am 'pies, hand over hand, to the six
teen astonished youth of London, while
tile American sat down and watched the
scene with hardly less astonishment Few
words were spoken aud the onslaught was
as fierce and persistent while it lasted as
the charge at Telel-Kebr. The exhaus-
ton of supplies brought the banquet to an
end, and the traveller paid the score,
thinking it little pay, in view of the fun
he had had, while the boys tumbled into
the street, cheering feebly on account qf
the gorged condition, and went to spread
the news of this miracle through the lanes
of London.

ANTIQUITY OF THE CENSUS.
Enumerators Antedate the Christian Era,
but Weren't Always so nquisitive.

Enumerators Antedate the Christian Era
but Weren't Always so Inquisitive.
Boston Herald.
AS the late S. S. Cox, of New York,
said on February Is, 1879, IN addressing
the House of Representatives relative to
the bill authorizing the tenth census: "a
census is no new thing under the sun. 1t
antedates the Christian era. 1t illustrates
the Chinese, japanese, Hebraic, Grecian
and Roman civilizations"
The Jewish census listed the first born
and first fruits, and was at first religious
custom. Afterward it was used for fight
ing purposes. In Rome the period of
taking the census was five years, or, as
the Romans distinctively called it, a
lustrum; and the completion of the work
was celebrated as national holiday, the
day of lustration, when good citizens were
rewarded and bad citizens were held up
to public ignominy.
Despite its antiquity, however, the CEN
sus never reached beyond mere emu
meration or counting of the people until
the United States extended its significance.
Statistics themselves first entered the
scientific phase in 1749, when the new
science received its name and the first COM
plete statement of its principles by Prof.
Aehenwall, of Gottingen. 1t is only dur
ing the past two generations that statis-
tical activity touched all varieties of hu.
man employment and resource. When
the Constitution of the United States was
formed there was no Government on earth
that provided in its fundamental law for
taking census.

to be man of superior ability in his line
of work. He has recognized and gath.
