The National Industrial Conference at
ST Louis terminated its labols with the
production of a programme and a plat
form of a rather formidable character
The platform calls for a ''permanent and
pcrpctual' union of the labor forces of
the nited States; announces that the
interests of rural and urban labor are
identical: declares that If amy will not
work neither shall he eat rather hard
on people out of a lob: demands a safe
sound and ilexibe national currency.

TO the foregoing there are planks favoring
postal savings banks. the prohibition of
alien ownership of land and the acquisi-
ton by the government of the property
of all railroad, telegraph and telephone
companies. Woman suffrage and prohi
bition were kept out of the platform, and
thereby hangs a tale.
When the platform was submitted Miss
Frances Willard, delegate. presented a
minority report, which she moved be
adopted Immediately as an amendment to
the majority report. The minority report
favored woman suffrage and demanded
the suppression of the liquor traffic
This opened merry wal, resulting in the

Farmer certainly get a ''clean and whole

The Ice Crop.

Last week it looked as though for once
there would I've a failure of the Maine ice
crop The ice had become honey-combed
and full Of water, and operations had to be
suspended on both the kennebec and Penol-
scot rivers. A rain storm would have carried
out the ice On the Penobscot only about one
third of a crop had been cut. About 1SO, 900,
or perhaps 100000 tons had been harvested
On the X nnebec the situation was as fol-
lows:
Tons now in houses. ............ 1852 900
Tons harvested in 1891. ......... $4,000
Tons now short of 1891. ......... $1,000
The cold wave which arrived Saturday
strengthened the ice and improved the out
look, and it now seems probable that an
average crop will be secured. The ice is
only one-half the usual thickness, and re-
quires more labor to secure it,
