The Peoples Party Of Ohio.

AS curiosity in political literature,
and it may be in the end a dangerous
curiosity, we publish the platform of the
Peoples Party of Ohio. The danger lies
not in the apprehension that majority
of the voters of any State in the Union
will endorse the revolutionary AMI de-
structive doctrine laid down in tie decla-
rations of the Convention, but that
enough of votes may be cast for it, to
give it apopular standing and influence,
that will affect the other parties, and in
fuence legislation in the direction Of the
ideas declared by this new political or
ganization.
1t demands the abolition Of National
banks as banks of issue, and as suhsti~
tute for National bank notes full legal
tender Treasury notes to be issued in
sufficient volume to conduct the business
of the country on a cash basis, and as a
consequence the government loans di-
rectly to the people on real estate and
other legal security, at rate Of interest
not to exceed two per cent. 1t fayors
free and unlimited coinage OF silver /,
Government ownership of telegraph and
railroads, and other like coInmunistic
notions, the adoption of which would
bring widespread ruin TO the business Of
the country. 1t seems to Us the simple
publication of such socialistic PROPOSE
tions ought to arouse all conservative
citizens to the dangerous doctrine pro-
claimed, and prepare them for contest,
in which all the conservative elements
of the country will be on one side and
the cranks and destructionists on the
other The American people will never
endorse such dangerous notions, but un-
less they are met and exposed, they may
be instrumental in effecting a great deal
of harm to the country, and initiating
against the public welfare.

A Sound Platform.

At Albany, N. Y, last week, President
Harrison made brief speech in response
/ to the invitation extended to him. In il
4 he laid down a sound principle and a
| sound platform, which every business
man in the country and every one who
appreciates values and stability in trade
must endorse. 1t contrasts boldly with
the utterances of PETER and Simpson
and the Alliance platform. He said: r
u do not intend to enter upon any subject that
can excite division, Dut | DO believe that the
General Government IS soiemnly charged with
the duty of seeing that the money issued 10y it is
always and everywhere maintained at par.
believe that speak that which is the common
thought of u all when ! say that every dollar,
whether paper or coin, issued or stamped b the
General Government should always ana every
where lie as good as any other dollar
This speech Of the President has had d
wonderful effect on business already. 1t
gives the country the assurance that no
free coinage of silver bill will become a
law during his term. As q consequence
confidence is returning; money IS coming
out Of. its hiding places; bonds and stocks
are improving business is reyiving and
an assuring feeling prevailing IN the
great centers of trade. President Harri-
son will undoubtedly veto q free coinage
bill, and with this certainty in business
circles, every line Of trade and commerce
and ali the financial avenues are look
ing brighter and more buoyant, The
President means that the people far
megs and laboring men, with all other
men engaged in busipess-shall have
dollar worth 100 cents, and that there
shall be no cut rates IN money, 50 long

The Great River of Alaska

Alaska explorers report one OF the
largest rivers in the world. the Yukon,
RS navigable for steamers two thousand
five hundred miles, and five hundred
from its mouth it receives q very large
tributary. The basin formed by the
confluence is twenty-four miles wide.
The Yukon is nearly as large as the Mis-
sissippi. Indians are every where and
war is continuous. There is snow for
months, and, without roads, dog-sledges
find good travelling. Game abounds,
and Indians have an easy life. From
seven to nine dogs make team, the old
one being the leader The driver has to
watch this dog. If it gets on the scent
of game if is off and the whole team IS
demoyalzed. Off they scamper through
the woods and thiekets upsetting the
load, smashing the sled. tearing harness,
and giving the driver days to restore the
status q2so.. So vast a country, travers-
ed by vayigapie waters, will soon tempt
the restless and speculative adventures
to explore it.

that Emperor William of Germany is
insane. Insanity manifested itself when
leaving England to return to Germany
on the Hohenzollern, when he ordered the
captain of the ship to retire saying he
would take charge by direction of God.
While giving his orders, and administer

fell and broke his knee, which forced
him to retire to his berth. But it did
not prevent him from raving and cnrs-

condition of his mind. This story, how
