RACHEL MAKES a RESOLUTION.
NO man who had inflicted in jury on ant
other conld have re.retted it more sincere,
ly than did Aaron Arnma when he heard
how serious were the consequences Of the
blow he had given to Peter Alrxietf And
vet was ever blow more richly OBSERVER!
The dustardly insult Of splitting in the
Jews face was one that no one
worthy the name Of man would have
endured calmly. But Aaron was a lover
will towards all, irrespective OF faith or
color The long years he had passed in st.
Petersburg had been without exciting event
until that unhappy day in the Gostnnoi-
dvor when the newcomer to the city, the
ignorant and bcnighted moujl Samuel
misfortune had doggcd his steps and those
he loved. until at last he found himself
mm urcd in the terrible and dreaded prison
of SchIusselburS. All now was lost, as il
seemed; and his one in ensc yearning was TO
see his daughter for the last time and Thea
turn his face to the wall and pray tor that
res; which man cannot disturb. But tina,
yearning WAS not likely to be gratied as
regarded his daughter. He knew that
only too we'll; but with the deep, ingram ed
philosophy OF his nature he abandoned
himself to his fate, whatever it might be,
with the deVout resignation OF man who
fervently believed in the goodness and
who was conscious of having humbly
striven all his days to be honest, upright
and Just and to walk truly and with rever
ent ieet in the path which he felt it wa!
duty to follow. Fortunate it was, perhaps
for him that he was not aware Of the storm
howlcd forth against him and his pcopl'
when the so-calcd outrage became
known.
With the uniairness and Partially Sc
characteristic Of the Russian Press the atfa
was described u, the BRUTAL and BASTARD,
attack by the Jew prisoner, Aaron Aram,'
on the President OF the Police the respect
ed and high-mnded Peter Alexietf." TIL
very worst construction was put upon it
and no mention whatever was made of tn
foul indgnity Alexietf had subjected tn
prisoner to by splitting in his face. Publ
sentiment found vent in the most vi olen
and int1amnatory expressions, and the AL
thorities deemed it wise in the interests o
common decency to afford some rrotectio
to the threatened Jews.
If Count Suvorof had had his way II
would, to use his own iavorite phrase, hav
let the bloodhound mob fly at its pre-
again and there would have been NOR
But the count, powerful as he was, wa
compelled after all to give some heed t
the voice of reason. Jew baitln
was pleasant sport enough to tn
Christian, and once INDUCED i
the votary found it difficult to satisfy h
desires for more. The Government, how
ever, Wanted itself as one that was EN-
nently civilized and humane and it VIZ
important that some senblance OF tn
character should be maintained.
In a quiet way the Jews could be ha
ried and prosecuted. But the screams all
wailing OF women and children as the
were ruthlessly bu chered could be hear

in a hotel at Little Rock, and, needing

me severely over his g1asses and said:

Platform Adopted BY Demo-
cratic State Convention.

l. The representatives of the demo-
cratic party of North Dakota in con-
vention assembled heartily endorse the
platform adopted by the democratic
national convention at Chicago.
2. By common consent the tariff is
the supreme issue of the impending
campaign. The question to be settled
by the American people is whether Il
revenue tariff which was adopted as an
extreme war measure and with the
solemn pledge of it's authors that it
should be repealed as soon us that war
was over, and which has been increased
nearly one-fourth by the Mckinley
bill, shall be made perpetual for the
benefit of a favored class; whether that
system shall continue which after
thirty years of trial, presents the spec
tacle Of colossal fortunes on one side
and colossal Indebtedness on the
other, trusts and millionaires upon one
side and an aggregate farm mortgage
Indebtedness of 81 800 100000 upon the
other: Il system which has masscd in
the hands Of 25,OOO persons one-half of
the entire wealth Of the nation, in
other words. more than so per cent of
'natonal wealth in the hands Of less
one-hAlf of per cent of the en-
dire population. TO the repeal of such
measures we pledge the united support
eff the democratic party of North Da-
c,ota.
e ,. Upon this issue Of the tariff the
Independent party and the democratic
r. arty are one in interest, one i'll prin-
+ iple and should be one in work.

form Adopted By Democrat
County Convention.


County Convention.
The Democratic party of Cavalier
mnty in convention assembled, re-af-
ms its faith in and allegiance to the
eat party Of jefferson and Jackson.
I'd endorses most heartily the Demo-
attic platform Of principles adopted
i the National Democratic party at
hicago; and pledges its united ener-
es to the maintenance and support
National Democracy, believing that
lie interests OF the masses will be best
observed by the election OF Grover
leveland.
We maintain that the Democratic
,rty, from its inception, has advocated
opular su1frages and that it has al
Ways made the cause of the common
,eople it's cause; We urge that the peo-
lie never for a moment lose sight of
hose vital interests underlying our
rec institutions, and we therefore de-
lounce the policy of the Republican
)arty which would commit this country
o the federal control of elections, by
means OF the infamous Force Bill.
We as a fractional part Of National
Democracy insist that Cavalier county
md the State OF North Dakota in her
gric;lltural interests can never posi-
'ly hope to be benifitted one cent by
he present system Of tariff taxation,
nd on the contrary maintaining that
We sell our products at the world S
'rices in a free trade market, and are
orced to buy our supplies at fictitious
'rices in a protected market, created
II class interests, denOunce the So
allied Mckinley bill as derogatory to
agricultural interests everywhere in
america. and as not calculated to fur
her the interests of the common peo-
he, vino create products and buy the
upplies Of life.
We denOuNce the pretensiOns of Re-
publican politicians in their claims
hat protection aids labor. and point to
lie deplorable condition OF things at
homestead and throughout Pennsyl-
'ania and New York, where 100, 600
are in state of riot, fight
ng against reductions in wages and
or the preservation of their unions, as
violence that labor itself has no faith
n these pretensions.
Resolved: That we denounce the
party of this state for the
manner in which they have lent them
elves on all occasions to further the
interests Of Railroad and Elevator cor
,orations:
Resolved: That we pledge our rep
esentatives to the legislature to secure

A Farmers Opinion of the Chicken Based
on Elaborate Experience.
Shanghai chickens are born with an
inordinate pair of legs, which continue
to grow into regular drumsticlSs of the
longest dimensions. 1t is said that al
though good layers, they are very fond
of devouring their own eggs. A
farmer who has tried them and found
them wanting gives the following &C.
count of their peculiarities. Their
true name, he says, is "Shanl1-high, .
and he pronounces them rightly

They have no body at all, and when
the head is cut off the legs come right

MEcHANIcsBURG, o., June 19.-James
Conway, prominent citizen and grain
dealer, was arrested yesterday on war
rant sworn out by his family, charging
him with an attempt upon their lives.
From some cause Conway, who has not
been known to drink any liquor for a
number of years, filed up and attempt
ed to wipe out his family with an ak, but
did not succeed in injuring any OF them.
When brought before Mayor Barr ne
pleaded guilty and was fined $50 and
costs, the sentence being suspended by
his promising not to repeat the attempt.
But no sooner was he turned loose than
he straightway went home and repeated
the assault. He was rearrested, fined
S25 more and costs and sentenced to
thirty days in the Dayton workhouse.
Conway has been quite a popular man
heretofore, serving in various offices,

ST. GEORGE, w. VA, June IL
To the Editor Of tie Register:
A question of great importance TO our
people is who shall succeed Judge Lucas
on the Court Of Appeals bench?
1t is the great Importance OF this
question that has induced me to attempt
this communication, and l would say
here it is a question that should engage
the serious attention OF lawyers
throughout the State. The Dem
ocratic party should offer for
this place a thoroughly competent
man. | see Hon. VIM. c. Clayton, Of
Mineral county, has been brought out
by his friends for that place, and it
seems to me he is Just the man for the
position, and the people OF this section
generally entertain that opinion, espe-
cially the members Of the bar First,
Judge Lucas successor should come
from east Of the AlIeghanies, and
it is generally conceded, l
believe, that one OF the
four members OF the Court should come
from that section. Notwithstanding
its large Democratic majority, so far as
| have heard, 1t hasn't candidate for
any other State Office.
Second, Mr.. Clayton is especially
qualified for the place, as will be testi-
fed to by all lawyers who know him.
He is man Of great general
learning and thorough cultiva-
ton, has been close student
of law, and as a lawyer has few equals
and probably no superiors in the State,
and possesses that innate sense Of
Justice and right so requisite in ajudge,
and with it that independence and fear
lessness without which no one should
be upon the bench. Taken altogether,
have heard no one mentioned for this
place4Kho so fully comes up TO the re-
ouirements OF the situation as Mr.. Clay
ton. Yours Truly,
