uance or the poi1cy which seeks to I'M
prove the canal systems of tho state and
maintain their efficiency. The interests
of labor should be fostered by proper and
necessary legislation. Honest working
men and working women should be pro-
tected from competition with convict
labor. We favor a Legislative provision
for proper exhibit from this state at the
Worlds Columbian exposition, to be held
ia Chicago in 1893, and we especially COM
mend the measure TO secure that object
which Republican senate, with surpris-
ing reluctance, after it's successful efforts
to locate the fair in Chicago, refused to
enact.
We heartily endorse the able and states
manlike administration of Governor Hill
during his seven years as chief executive
of the state. He has resolutely main
tanned the principles of the Democta attic
party and has faithfully contended for the
interests of thr people. He has ably re-
sisted the aggressions of the successive
Republican legislatures, whose object has
been only partisan advancement, and he
has been firm and unrelenting foe to
vicious and corrupt legislation. In his
administration of state affairs he has re-
eeived the intelligent and conscientious
cooperation OF his Democratic associates
in the state department. Their joint
efforts have put the state practically out
of debt and left generous surplus in the
treasury.

NEW YORK DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

First--The Democratic party of the
State of New York, in convention assem-
bled. renews the pledges OF it's fidelity to
Democratic faith, and, as regards national
issues, reatfirms the doctrines of the ma
Monal platforms of 1884 and 1883, endorsed
by the popular votes in those years and SO
overwhelmingly ratified by the popular
verdict in the elections of 1890. We now,
rs then. steadfastly adhere to principles
of sound finance. We are against the,
coinage of any dollar which is not of the
intrinsic value of every other dollar Of the
United States. We denonnce the new
Sherman silver law, under which one
tenth of our gold stock is exported and all
our silver output is damned up at home,
rs false pretense but artful hindrance of
q return to free bi-metallic coinage and as
tending to produce o change from one
ki1d of mono-metallism to another.
We therefore unite with the friends
of honest money everywhere in
,stigmatizing the Sherman progressive
silver basis law, as no solution Of
the gold and silver question and as
fit appendix to the subsidy and bounty
swipdles; the Mckinley worse. than war

ARSENIC AND AMMONIA.
RemarIxable Contrast I'm the Effect of
Two P0isOns en- the Complexion.

The slow absorption of many poisons
changes in some more or less modified
form the complexion, but arsenic and
ammonia show their effect about as
quickly as any. The popular belief that
arsenic clears the complexion has Led
many silly women to kill themselves
with 1T in small, continued doses.
1t produces waxy, ivorv like appear
ance of the skin during a certain stage
OF the poisoning, but it's terrible after
effects have become too we'll known to
make it of common use as a cosmetic.
The effects OF ammonia upon the COM
plexion are directly the opposite to that
of arsenic. The first symptom of am
monia poisoning which appears among
those who work in ammonia factories is
a disooloration of the skin of the nose
and forehead. This gradually extends
ever the face until the complexion has a
stained, blotched and unsightly appear
ance. With people who take ammonia
into their systems in smaller doses, as
with their water or food, these striking
symptoms do not appear SO soon. The
only effect of the poison that is visible
for time is general unwholesomeness
and sallowness OF the complexion.
Many people are slowly absorbing am
monia poison without knowing it. The
use OF ammonia in the manufactures has
greatly increased of late, and it is un-
questionably used as an adultcrant in
certain food preparations. Official analy-
sis have plainly shown its use even in such
cheap articles of every day consumption
as baking powders. The continued alb
| sorption of ammonia in even minute
quantities as an adulterant in food is in
furious not merely from it's effect upon
the complexion, but because it destroys
the coating of the stomach and causes
dyspepsia and kindred evils.
Professor Long of Chicago, is authorl-
ty for the statement that, if to fifty mil
lion parts of water there is one part of
ammonia, the water is dangerous.
