The Democratic Platform .

The declaration ofprinciples adopt
ed by the Democratic national con-
vention is made long by the endeav-
ors of its trainers to tumble the
Judgment and confound the sense of
the people. 1t misrepresents the Re
publican position touching federal
control of elections, and attempts to
make it appear that the Republican
effort to secure free ballot and a
fair count in every state is an inter
ference with the rights of the people
The plank is q deliberate misstate-
ment from beginning to end, but will
deceive no one.
Ofcourse one of the chief planks re-
lates to custom duties, and it is un-
necessary to read between the lines
to find confirmation of the charge
that the Democratic party is wholly
given over to Free Trade. AS was
expected, the Mckinley bill is de-
nounced, but that is only secondary
to the declaration chat is ''a funda-
mental principle of the Democratic
party that the federal government
has no constitutional power to i'm
pose and collect tariff duties, except
for the purpose of revenue only"
This can be interpreted only as an
explicit declaration against Protec-
ton. The plank further says: We
DENY that there has been any increase
''in prosperity since that Mckinley
tariff went into operation. The
absurdity of this declaration need
not be pointed out. The people
know that this is not in accordance
with the facts. Again it is asserted
that "wage reductions and strikes in
the iron trade" are the best possible
evidence that prosperity has not at
tended the operation of the new tariff
law. As the only changes in THERON
schedules in the Mckinley law are re-
ductions, it is difficult to see how the
conditions mentioned form an argu-
ment against the Protective tariff.
The next important plank is that
relating to silver, and it is made to
read so as to please the silver men OF
the west and satisfy the sound money
men of the East. Ii was meant to
deceive, but is not likely to accomp-
lish it's purpose.
One of the most vigorous declara-
tions is against trusts and comblna-
tions, but it is doubtless meant In a
Pickwickian sense, since the first Lieu
tenant of the party's candidate and
the most active Cleveland worker at
Chicago is ex-Secretary Whitney, who
Henry Watterson declared, is "backed
bv the whole Standard oil combina-
. ton"
The pension plank attempts to set
the Democratic party right with the
veterans, but they are quite as likely
to take their cue from Democratic
performances as from Democratic
PROMISES. Other planks give half
way endorsement to the Nicaragua
canal and the worlds fair, denounc'
compulsory education and call forre
, form in the civil service.
As whole the platform is not bet
ter than the usual productions o
! Democratic conventions. 1t is tlleC
, with the customary denunciations o
r everything Republican and there II
r the usual paucity of affirmative dec
larations. 1t is not honest, for IL Il
+ full of falsehoods. 1t will fail OF III
! object because it is framed on tn
: supposition that the people are tools
' and not close and accurate observers

THE FIRST TO GREET COLUMBUS

/
When the feast is spread in our country
name,
| When the nations are gathered from far anC
near
When East and West send up the same
Glad shout, and call TO the lands, "GooC
cheerl"
When North and South shall give their bloom
The farest and best of the century born,
! Oh, then for the king of the feast make room
Make room, we pray. for the scarlet thorn
Not the goldenrod from the hilsides blest,
Not the pale arbutus from pastures rare
Nor the waving wheat from the mighty West
Nor the proud magnolia tall and fair
Shall Columbia unto the banquet bring
They willing of heart, shall stand and wait.
For the thorn, with his scarlet crown is king.
Make room for him at the splendid fetel
Do we not remember the olden tale?
And that terrible day of dark despair,
When Colum bus under the lowering SAIL
Sent out to the hidden l2nils his prayer?
And was it not he of the - ,;at boneh

mat lone grand soul, at the vessels PROV.
Defying fate with-his tiny fleet?
Grim treachery threatened, above, below,
And death stood close at the captains side
When he saw-oh, JOY lin the sunset glow,
The thorn-tree's branch DER the waters glide

The Vesper hymn er the ocean swept;
The mutinous sailors faced about;
Together they fell on their knees and wept.
At dawn they landed with pennons white;
They kissed the sod of San Salvador;
But dearer than gems on his doublet bright
Were the scarlet berries their leader bore;
Thorny and sharp, like his future crown,
Blood-red, like wounds in his great heart
made,
Yet an emblem true of his proud renown
Whose glorious colors shall never fade.

How a Fish Sees.

The medium i'm which fresh-water
fishes live gives them n chance To
see a great distance only in the hori-
zontaI direction, aud the proper adj
justment of the eye would make, un-
der the usual conditions, the optical
axis take this direction. To me IL
seems impossible to explain the con-
stant revolution of the eyeball on
any other hypothesis except that
given, viz, that the optical axis ex-
tends forward instead of sidewise.
When a fish wishes TO eatanything
either at the bottom of the pond, or
at the surface of the water, II swims
directly toward the object; and in
this case the eyes are instantly ad-
iusted in line with the body. so as TO
bring the image of the particle desir-
ed upon the posterior. portion OF
the retina. In this case they lose
their usual horizontal position.
Ifs fish wishes to turn TO the right
or left i'm the water, the first move
ment is that of the eyes in unison in
the direction of the turning. THIS
would be entirely unnecessary If the
apparent axis was the axis of most
distinct vision, as one of the eyes
would see all there was to be seen on
the side of the turning. After this
movement of the eyes the body turns
enough TO bring the eyes into their
normal position, then there is again
a movement of the eyes, and next n
movement of the body. This causes
a peculiar jerking of the body.-Prof.
Apgar in American Angler.
