Chicago Platform.
II Mr.. Cleveland attempts to sub
stitute q straddle Of his own devising
for the free trade plank Of the Chicago
Democratic platform, as it is reported
that he contemplates doing, he will have
to show his authority for the flop. The
party did not nominate him and hand
him pen and ink and sheet of paper
and tell him to write platform to suit
himself. First it adopted one, and then
he was nominated because it was be
lieved he would accept the principles
snunciated in it.
The vote by which the double con
Etruction straddle of the committee was
rejected and the doctrine of free trade
proclaimed was a decisive one. It was
as follows:

 This Worlds fair business is becoming gigantic. It is even bigger than the big blowing Chicagoans said it would be. And it is going to take bigger pile of the pub lie money than they said it would. The figures of the whole affair keep growing. The latest estimate is that it will cost $22, 226, ,463 and no cents. Director Higin- botham thinks the total receipts will ag- gregate over $35, ,OOO,O ,O0O. He believes the gate receipts will bring in 15,000, 900 or, in other words, that there will be 30,- 900, 900 admissions at 50 cents each. Ac- cording to his estimate the exposition will receive s, 75O, 900 from restaurants, $2,- 500, 900 from other concessions and privi- leges, and s1, 75O, ,O0O from salvage. But will there be 30,00O,000 admissions at 50 cents eacha It is pointed out that of the 9,910, ,966 who went to the Centennial, about one-seventh were admitted free and large proportion at half price. Accept ing the same ratio for Chicago, the total of admissions in six months would need to reach something like 10000, ,000, or the enormous daily average of 220,00O, in- cluding Sundays.
 Considering what the Chicagoans said when they were trying to get the big fair their demand for seven or eight millions more from the national government is truly modest. Before'it was decided that Chicago should have the fair nothing was I~. c-. A.. | wants much help, and she will probably get 1t, for there can of course be no going backward now. There is precedent, in the Philadelphia exposition, for the de- mand of Chicago. And it is to be hoped that the precedent established in the re- payment of the Philadelphia loan will also be followed. Chicago doesn't deserve help, but for the credit of the nation we suppose she will have to have it.

when forced to be. They are surly and cross and coarse. Especially does their | spleen bubble and boil towards Amer;c.ns Never will they forget nor forgive the in suit of sending General Sheridan to grace the staff. of the German emperor and to participate in the German victories. even if he did not aid them by his skill and daring. What an offset to Lafayette. No huger diplomatic blunder was committed since diplomacy took birth. Then the duty on works of art which impoverished thousands of French artists. And now our extreme protection policy which, jus tify it as we may from our own point of view, is bringing misery to tens and hun dreds of thousands of workmen from one end of Europe to the other Why should the French be plessanti What would be our sentiments were positions reversedi Not to stray away into politics, be it known that the French officers of the French line are, to judge by the last voyage of 'sI.a Bretagne," as rude and as disobligine to American citizens as their respective posi-. uons permit. For instance, & party of four ladies brought with them a letter to the captain from the chief agent of the company in New York. The letter stated that the husband of one of the ladies, very well known banker, was a friend of the company and had greatly assisted in establishing its reputation. The letter was placed in the captains hands and read by him, and that was the end of it. An other instance: The purser, the commis- saire in French, is supposed to be the par ty whose special duty it is to look after the interests of passengers. It happened that day after day things disappeared. Now book; now some cash. Now an opera glass. Finally a person was caught mak- ing off with a pocket book, and the exci- ted American victims insisted on having his baggage searched, hoping that their lost articles might be found and restored This the conlnissaire, backed by the cap tain, declined to do, and the French thief with his American plunder was allowed to go free at Hayre. If spunk hold out there will be a consideration of this business when parties return home and can proceed under American laws.
 Now sleep comes along with interrup- tion of logical thought and insists upon yielding to his sway. If you will take the French line, don't take a through ticket for Paris, for you may be whirled to Paris at midnight, but stop over at Havre st this most comfortable hotel, and then 20 up with me the next day leisurely. Never ask of Frenchman anything nowadays to which you are not entitled by French laws. Learn your rights and insist, in your very best French, on their recogni- ton, but expect no favors till France has Alsace Lorraine, and until we have atoned for our unfriendly conduct

 The romance of mining is not yet ex
 hausted. Some very rich samples of gold
 ore were brought into Salt Lake City the
 other day from new district on the edge
 of the desert twenty-six miles from the
 city, and it is believed the strike is a very
 rich mine of which Brigham Young knew,
 but which became one of the lost mines of
 that region. The ore assayed from $2, ,000 to $3, ,000 ton. The man who brought it in says there is a large vein of the ore ap- parently equally rich. Tradition says a very rich mine was discovered somewhere in that region twenty-five years ago by a Mormon, and for some reason Brigham Young forbade the prospector to work the mine or make its whereabouts known. Just before dying the man indicated the direction in which the mine lay, but hun dreds of miners have vainly sought the treasure.
 A MT. Hume, @ leading member of the Congress party in India, has contrived to attract good deal of unfavorsble atten- ton to himself by distributing circular which, being marked "private and confi- dential," has been published in dozen different quarters as a.matter of course. In this document MT. Hume says that the existing system of administration in India is pauperizing the people and preparing the way for one of the most terrible cata- clysms in the history of the world; that the cup of misery of scores of millions is well-nigh full; that as surely as day fol- lows night must a terrible rising come, when Englishmen will be as men in the desert, vainly struggling for a brief space against the simoom. There will, he adds, be no caste-leaders-with the hour comes the man. Therefore he urges the Congress not to fritter aw.y its resources in differ ent channels, but to devote every rupee to avert this general ruin by carrying on an English agitation on the lines on which the Anti-Corn Law League triumphed. The only hope, he says, lies in awakening the British public to a sense of the wrongs of the people.

THE VOTE OF THE ALDERmEl

THE VOTE OF THE ALDERMEN. There is 8 good deal of talk about what
 the vote of the aldermen on the Big Foul
 case is and is not going to be. We doubt
 that any body knows great deal about it.
 It would be manifestly injudicious for the
 aldermen to tell how they are going to
 vote, even if they have made up their minds, and we presume that some of them are waiting for the argument in order to get help toward making up their minds.
 When they have voted the vote will be carefully studied, and it's meaning pretty accurately determined. It is not to be forgotten that the aldermen have taken an oath to do their duty in the case, and that the charge is very plain and definite one. It is that there was a combination who were dismissed and removed, and that those ''so dismissed and removed were capable, efficient, tried and approved men and officials, and such re- moval and dismissal from the public ser vice was without cause, was prejudicial to the interest of the city and of the public, and was made as aforesaid to advance and accomplish the private, personal and polit- ical ends and purposes" of those who did the dismissing and removing.
 Being under oath and knowing that the eyes of the people are on them the alder men have every reason to do what they think is right without feai or favor. Theirs is not very pleasant responsibility in some respects, but it cannot be shirked.

 A nice question in law has come up in Philadelphia, where @ woman left $1 ,000 in her will for the care and maintenance of her pet cat. The cat recently died, but left five little orphan kittens. and now the question is whether they are the legal heirs of the pet cat.
 In preaching against the sin of filtration the other day French priest grew quite warm in charging the women of his con- gregation with the offense. Suddenly he took off his skull cap, and, pretending to throw it, said: "pn throw my cap at the worst among you" Immediately every woman in the congregation ducked her head.
 A fleet of hundred steamers, the big gest grain fleet ever consigned to Buffalo, is on it's way from Chicago. It is esti- mated that the fleet carries {, ,OOO, ,000 bush els of grain. Another fleet is expected from Duluth next week bringing 5000, 900 bushels more. The April record in the lake grain trade has never approached the promise of the present month. At least 1O, 900, ,OOO bushels of grain is expected at Buffalo by lake before May1.

 The opponents of protection can't find any comfort in the circular which has just been issusd by H. A. Buell. & Co.,, large grocery house in Lawrence, Massachusetts, The figures are from old books in their pos session, and show the prices of ten leading articles of food from 1852 to the present date. These articles are flour, sugar, but ter, coffee, tea, oil, beans, potatoes, eggs and soap. Ten years ago, not to carry the comparison any further back, barrel of flour, 8 pound each of sugar, butter, coffee, tea and soap, a gallon of oil, quart of beans, a bushel of potatoes and dozen eggs cost $13.29. In March of the current year the price of these same articles was only $s.37, or nearly s5 less. But now, confning the statement to prices which have changed during the last year, this re- sponsible firm reports that it finds sixty articles of food on which the price has been marked down within the year; and on the other hand, it finds but three the price of which is higher than a year ago, and these are articles for which the average family spends less than g year.
 So it is evident that the protective policy and the Mckinley bill haven't increased the cost of living as far as food is con cerned

A PRIESTS POLITICAL VIEWS.

Fr. Sylvester Malone of Brooklyn, n i.
Y, venerable and loved Roman Cath
olic priest, in expressing to reporter
the other day his very decided Republi-
can preferences, said in reference to the
Federal elections BILL
don't understand that measure in the way the
Democrats present it. 1 apprehend it to mean
fair play to the voters in the south; that vote
cast shall be counted, and that the choice of that
vote will be recognized in the election. don't
believe any party would dare pass a force bill
that would aim at selfish or purely partisan ends.
If Democratic or Republican ticket is voted,
let it be counted. If we allow law to be set at
naught in any section Of the country and the
sacredness Of the ballot destroyed it will spread
and consume the public Itself, because the only
safety of the nation is an hon est vote of every
citizen and an honest count from those who have
the responsible office of counting the ballots. It's
false presentment of the matter and should
not enter into the controversy at this presiden-
tial election
