Democratic Northwest.
Ohio Democratic Platform.

We hereby approve the platform o.
the Democratic party adopted by its na
tional convention at Chicago and especially
those portions OF it, referring to the tariff
and to currency legislation. We congratu
late the country upon the early prospect o.
measures Of relief as outlined by the presi
dents late message to congress, and We
have confidence that the Democratic con
gress will devise laws to furnish such re
lief.
The financial situation Is the unfortunat.
legacy of the Republican administration
it is the natural result Of the Mckinley
tariff, the Sherman silver law, extrava
gance Of the Republican party recently in
power, and the creation and fostering Of
trusts and corrupt combinations by that
party, all combining to shake credit, u
create distress in the money of the country
and to paralyze its business
We recommend that national banks may
be permitted to issue their currency to an
amount equal to the par value of United
States bonds, which they may deposit with
the treasurer Of the United States, to the
end that the volume of currency may be
Immediately increased.
The interest of every true soldier anc
pensioner demands that the pension rolli
should be made and preserved as roll Of
honor. We believe in just and liberia,
recognition of the claims of the veterani
and favor granting them all that patri
ism could ask, all that national gratitude
would demand. But the granting of pen.
sions of fraudulent claims, or for partisan
purposes, or department decisions in CON
travention of law, ms practiced under tht
last administration, needs to be investigat
ed and corrected so that the unselfish valoi
of the American soldier may remain un
tarnished.
The Democratic party pledges itself that
the rightful claims of no Union soldier to o
pension shall be denied, and the allowance
of any worthy pensioner shall not be dis
turbed.
We condemn the unbusinesslike admin.
istration of state affairs under Governor
Mckinley, deplore the official scandals and
defalcations under it, and denounce the
condoning of official crimes which have
brought humiliation upon our people We
denounce the reckless extravaganza of the
large Republican majority in the roth gen
eral assembly which appropriated for cur
rent expenses about S600,000 in excess Of
the current revenue, and added almost $780,
$1,000 to the local bonded indebtedness OF
the state, by laws in the main unconstitu.
tional. We demand that an end be put to
such robbery of the taxpayers.
The Democratic party expresses its CONF.
dence in the ability of Hon Calvin S. Brice
of the United States senate to materially
assist the Democratic majority in the con.
gress of the United States to extricate the
great commercial interests of this country
from their present distressed condition.
The country has abiding faith in the in
tegrity, the patriotism and exalted courage
of President Cleveland. True to the peo-
pie and watchful of their interests, he will
enforce honest and economical methods in
the conduct of public affairs, and secure to
every section of the country the blessing OF
good government.

treatment of children ON Fire.

When the little boy or girl does
get on fire everyone ought to have q
perfectly clear idea Of what to do. AT
present general nebulous notion
exists that the correct procedure is to
run up for blanket or seize rug or
a hearth rug and endeavor to throw
1t around the terrified and screaming
victim, who probably by this time is
half way down the street. Children do
not stand still when in flames waiting
for our kind Offices, but invariably
rush into the passage or open air and
SO get burned to death.
IL children in our schools were
taught and drilled whenever they get
on FIRE at once to fall on the ground
and roll over and over on the burn
ing part or if they saw any other
children on fire to throw them down
and roll them over and over till the
burning clothes were fairly extin-
gushed we should have fewer cases
of severe burns. A few object les
sons with dressed dolls would impress
the value Of the horizontal position
more than any words.

A Chinese Proverbs Origin.

"'He'll steal your shoes is an express
sion which in China is used to describe
an arrant knave and pilferer," says ex-
Consul Edward Bedloe. 1.-THE express
sion is hundreds of years old and is based
on an adventure perpetuated through
the medium of decorated crockery ware.
A wealthy Chinaman, whose gorgeously
embroidered shoes were the envy of the
community, was, according to the leg
end, despoiled of his pride in the fol-
lowing manner: A rascal one day rushed
up, gave the rich man hearty blow on
the back, and seizing the astonished gen.
tleman's hat pitched it upon high wall.
The next moment the fellow seemed to
discover that it was not an old friend he
was greeting so enthusiastically and
apologized profusely.
"tHow shall / get my hiatt" inquired
the man with the beautiful shoes.
Jump on my back and you can reach
it, replied the schemer.
"The suggestion was carried out, but
while the hatless man was reaching for
his head covering the rascal slipped of
the handsome shoes and made away,
leaving the simple minded millionaire
clutching the wall"

Newspaper Laws.

The following are laws laid down by
the United States government for the
protection Of newspapers:
Subscribers who do not give express
notice to the contrary are considered
as willing to continue their subscrip-
tion.
II subscribers order the discontinu.
ance of their periodicals, the PUBLISH
ers may continue to send them until
all arrearges are paid.
If subscribers neglect or refuse to
take their periodicals from the Office
to which they are directed, they a.e
responsible until they settle their bills,
and order them discontinued.
If subscribers move to other places
without informing the publisher, and
the papers are sent to the former di-
rection, they are held responsible.
The courts have decided that refus-
ing to take periodicals from the Office
or removing and leaving them uncall-
ed for, is prima facie evidence of in
territorial fraud.
Any person who receives a news
paper and makes use Of it whether he
he has ordered it or not, is held by
law a subscriber.
If subscribers pay in advance, they
are bound to give notice to the pub
Usher at the end of their time, if they
do not wish to continue taking it; 9TH
erwlse the publisher is authorized to
send it on and the subscriber will be
responsible until an expressed notice,
with payment of all arrears, is sent
the publisher.
Publishers of newspapers can, under
the law, arrest any body for fraud
who takes paper and refuses to pay
for it. Under this law it is a danger
GUS trick for a man to allow his sub.
scription account to run on from six
months to year and a half, unpaid,
and then tell the postmaster to mark
it REFUSED" or to send the editor a
postal card to discontinue the paper.

THE MOUNTAIN

From lands Of sunshine gay With bloom
We took the northern course and cAma
To that great city which delights
Grim satire IN seattle's name
A remnant weak, his people take
The crumbs that from her table fan;
The past Is theirs. the future hers
Who crowds them harshly 10 the wall
Proudly she sits upon her hills,
Her various waters cleaning round;
Her snowy crested mountains fair.
Soft mirrored In their blue profound.
But one, the top and crown Of all,
High soaring far above the rest,
Hid In impenetrable clouds
His towering head. his ample breast.
But, oh, at length morning dAwned,
One more divine earth never knew,
When better far than tale or dream
The mountain Glove the heavenly blue.
The mountainl All the snowy peaks
Which mountains seemed the day before,
That day were little hills. so high
We saw the highest climb and soar.
So highi So grandl And yet with a1
So sweetly. delicately fair.
We had believed II ono had said,
"a dream, a phantom Of the air"
And as the perfect day went by
More dreamlike still the mountain grew,
As gathering mists, purple zone,
Around his base their vesture drew
All white and pure from crown to foot
There floated In tho azure deep
A hill Of heaven, a mount Of God.
1t made our hearts with gladness leap
The things of sense are types Of soul.
How oft for many days the best
Is thick involved in clouds that chill
Mans heart within his lonely breasti
And then there comes day Of days.
And floating bright in heavenly air
He sees the mount Of God. all white
With fields of faith and founts Of prayer.
And by that glorious vision blest
Heknows the peace that passeth thought
God folds him to his heart. His good
Is better than the best he sought.

the chaplain marry us as soon a. the
fighting Is over" Mrs. Kellar agreed
to do 50, and all their acquaintance
declared that the mother was as great a
fool as the daughter.
Violet's letter was keeping his heart
warm this day at Tamai- He was feel
ing unaccountably happy and light heart
ed, as after q sharp tussle with half a
dozen Arabs. three Of whom he killed
with his revolver, he was allowed breath
ing time for few minutes, during which
he cut the word 'Suakin" on the little
black pipe that had been his inseparable
companion during the whole of the cam
paign.
Suddenly just as ne had lighted and
returned smoking it, he heard frantic
shout, and glancing up he saw young
Kellar dash forward and fire at some one
behind him (Jack). simultaneously he
felt sharp agonizing pain in his back
and knew that he was struck by poi
soned spear. An Arab, who had been
concealed in bush, had crept out and
stabbed him before young Kellar could
intervene.
He had staggered and then fallen on
his face, and they thought that he was
dead for minute. But when they lifted
him and were carrying him awayh faint
flicker of the old fun came into his fad
ing blue eyes as he said:

much. S'pose twas Satan
Before he could finish the sentence the
fading light went ont, and the blue eyes
closed forever in this world.
Who shall tell herr The whole regi.
ment knew the story of Jacks love, and
not man in it but felt heartsore for the
girl who had loved and been so proud
of her young hero.
"It will break my heart to go to Vio-
let with such q tale" her brother
moaned. I'D rather take a revolver
and blow my own brains out than have
the task"

promised. "rll go to her myself with as
bitter tidings as I've had to convey"

ed, and his steady, fearless gray eyes
filled with tears as he spoke. But this
was more for the fine young soldierly
life which had been cut short in its glory
than for the desolate girl who was left
to mourn it. However, he fulfilled his
task SO sympathetically that Violet soon
found ber greatest comfort in talking Of
her lost lover to his gallant chief.
"Time treads on the grave of affec-
tionp Kind, merciful Time! Two years
after Jack fellat Suakin, Colonel Branks-
holme, who had been away on leave for
a month, telegraphed to the second in
command of the regiment, my wife and
/ will be back tonight"
"We1l give them grand reception.
Have the band to meet them, take the
horses out and drag the carriage along
the parade" some of the more enthu-
siastic of the juniors declared. But
when young Kellar said: Better not.
The bride is my sister," the regiment
felt that the less demonstration they
made on the occasion of her joining it
the better. Jacks memory was too green
with them still for them to give her any
thing but ss9nt and rather sad well

Largest silver aud Gold Coins.

The late proposition to put a dol.
lars worth Of silver in the coin of
that denomination, reminds me that
AMMAN, a French protectorate in
Asia, has silver coin that weighs as
much as Is United States "buzzard"
dollars. The largest gold coin in
circulation is the ''loof," which also
belongs to the Oriental French colony
mentioned above. This monster gold
disk will weigh as much as 325Ameri-
can gold dollars, and although weighty
and awkwardly large, are considered
valuable property. The gold piece
which comes next in size to the
''loof" is the "obang" of Japan, q
coin containing about SAT worth Of
pure gold.

1T was no coincidence says the Nor
walk Experiment that as soon as the
official declaration that tariff reform
measures would be started at once was
made, the price of agricultural pro-
ducts suddenly began to boom. The
cause and effect is easily tracable. We
have little to export except agricul-
tural products, and we must exchange
these for foreign manufactured pro-
duets. The Mckinley tariff prohibit
ed this exchange, the exports of wheat
land other products, fell off to half
what they had previously been, and
the year opened with the largest sur
plus stock of wheat on hand ever
known in the history Of the country.
Consequently the price of wheat sank
to so cents, the purely Mckinley tariff
price. AS soon as it became known
that trade restrictions would be re-
moved, that better exchange Of wheat
for foreign products would be permit
ted, wheat suddenly took on value,
and in ten days time ran up In price
above 10 cents in the general market.
Here are the reasons and here are the
facts. Let these facts be known and
the system raised up to rob the farm.
ers In order to benefit few protected
industries will get worse drubbing
from our Ohio farmers than the western
farmers gave it last year. Let the good
work go on!
