The Platform.

Mr.. Avery, for the committee on resolu-

which was adopted unanimously:
The Democratic party OF Massac husetts, in
convention assembled, reaffirms its allegiance
TO the principles of the national Democratic
party II cOngratulates the people Of the COM
monweaith on the successful and patriotic ad-
minlstrntiOn OF his eXcellency the governor,
William l.. Russell. The well merited rebuke
administered 10 the Republican party at the
last election, as evidenced by tho choice of a
Democratic governor, Democratic auditor,
feYen Democratic congressman and twenty
Democratic s,ate senator's, has already been
fully justified hyits results. We repel the in
sinU8tlOu of the Republican party that this ac-
ton was due 20 ignorance and delusion, as an
insulting reflection upon the intelligence of tho
people, We recognize the patriotic action OF
the many Independent citizens who voted for
our candidates at the last election. and we are
proud 10 refer them TO the record Of our ad-
mnistratiOn as proof that their confidence
was not misplaced. We heartily commend the
excellent administration OF the auditors de-
partment by the Democratic incumbent, Will
-. T. Trefry.

fooliShncss before the proper authori-
ties the field of the fal1ir is practically
unlimited. Now men who work a
scheme of this kind prefer large cities
to the smaller towns; sufficient proof
that where Il great deal of wisdom"
and ''shrewdness" is concentrated the
swindler always finds n more profitable
field than in communities inhabited by
men of average intelligence.
Perhaps the. most pitiable street
salesman is he who walks from morn
ing till late ut night to sell cough
of the trade is monopolized by old men
who have seen better days. They visit,
Office buildings during business hours
and in the evening stand in front of the
theaters holding their wares on little
tray and wearing on their dilapidatcd
tiles signs setting forth the merits of
the articles offered for sale. The goods
sell for five cents Il package, and deal
ing in them means in most cases slow
starvation. Almost as pitiable are the
scores of cripplcs who stand at street
corners trying to prolong miserable
existence by selling lead-pencils. The
cough-drop and pencil men are wrecks
who have not the strength to work and
yet are too proud to beg or ask assist
ance from charitable institutions or
the county.
Perhaps the most fortunate and con-
tented of all these peripatetic mcr-
chants and falSirs is an old fellow who
comes upfrom Hoosierdom several times
each year with Il large supply of sassa-
fras root and elm bark. He has repeated
his visits so often that he now has a
regular line of customers who buy all
OF his goods at the rate OF ten cents for
small package of the sassafras or elm;
and the proceeds of his clever trading
have enabled him to buy and pay for a
choice farm in the most fertile part of
Indiana and to carry handsome bank
account.
When properly managed, the peddling
business can be made Il success in Chi
cago; but even in this line competition
has become SO sharp and relentless that
none but the best men can accumulate
enough to engage in legitimate enter
priscs. AS stated in the opening para
graphs the Hebrews have the inside
track in street enterprises, and it takes
smart gentle, and one whose hide
must be rs thick as that of the proverb-
lal rhinoceros, to wage war against
them. G.. w. WEIppIrRr.

The Great Deserts.

There was once 4 gentleman who
spent day in Verona, and it rained all
that day. Five years afterward the
gentleman spent another day in that
fair city, and it raincd all that day,
and the gentleman afterward wrote a
book and, on the ground of his expert
ences, asserted that it always rained in
Verona! AS with Verona, SO il has
been with the deserts of the globe.
The great Australian desert shrinks
every year it is better known. On the
presumed desert land OF lifetime ago
the finest sheep in the world are now
raised. The desert was mapped on
hasty CONGRATULATIONS on insufficient
samples. So it was with the American
deserts; so it is with the Asiatic deserts;
so it is with the African deserts Thir-
ty years ago, the map of the Sahara
showed an unbrol.cn stretch of sand.
Tho map of to-day shows tract of
country with patches of sand, but di-
versiticd with hills and water-courses,
and even i'll places consisting of light,
airy pnrll-land, with widespread grassy
tracts interspersed with forest. Y.

supply, in the hands Of shrewd sales
man, produces three dollars in tho
course of perhaps two days, or q net
profit of say $40. Repeating this
process three times is equivalent to an
income of $40. The pcddler probably
pays $500 week for his board and
lodging; hence has at the end of one
week capital of $3.50. This amount
invested in otiicc-sleevcs, collar buttons,
suspendcrs and similar truck will net
him in the course of another week
about 5000, which, when invested in
cheap jewelry, cutlery and pocket
books, will leave margin Of at least
$4,000, enough to warrant the establish
ment of n street stand. Ten to one the
enterprising merchant will leave his
stand in charge of boy of his ac-
quaintance and continue his peddling
operations until he has earned enough
money to stock his street store with an
endless variety of profitable wares.
Then, and not before, does he take
charge of the outfit in person, and hap
Ply may the stranger from the country

their speciality, and even soap Is affected
by some, although they never give their
wares personal trial.
People from the country, it is perhaps
needless to say, are the best patrons of
the falir who sells articles for every
day use; but city people are usually the
victims Of the oily-tongued swindlers
who offer something for nothing.
Country people have been warned so
often against the wiles of the bunco-man
that they suspect trap everywhere,
while city people arc SO convinced of
their smartness that they are much
more easily worked" than their cousins
from Podunls.
To prove this statement could give
hundreds of convincing arguments, but
/ will confine myself to the watch-fal<e,
which has recently been worked in
Chicago, and which, according to an
official inquiry, Noted it's manipulators
something over $1,000 in less than three
weeks. The fake is worked as follows:
A stylishly-dressed young man drives
up in neat turnout, pulls what pur-
ports to be a watch out of his pocket
and holds it up to public gaze. DELHI
erately he removes q chain from She
watch, which, he admits, is not gold,
but still of very good quality and
heavily plated. The salesman is hard
up, has but one watch, but q good
many chains, and in order to start tho
sale for the chains will give the hand
Some watch to the first man who buys
a chain for fifty cents. The chain is
passed around, but the watch can not
be inspected, as it is present and not
for sale. A victim bites, receives his
brass chain and the watch" which is
nothing more nor less than washed
piece of inferior metal cast in the shape
of watch-case. AS soon as the sale is
effected the fakir whips up his horse
and repeats his little game at the next
street corner; every sale meaning net
profit of forty-6vc cents.
The smarty who expected to get
something for nothing is out fifty cents,
and as he is ashamed to admit his
