The Ohio Platform,

4A0 @A4AO 1cs1AVAAAs
The platform adopted by the Ohio
Peoples party in their Fourth of July
state O. INVENTION was not sent out by
telegraph. As part Of the political news
Of the day the Cleveland PlaindeGEsy
gives it thus:
The logic OF events has forced the
money question to the front and has
exposed the hypocrisy of the sham battle
over tariff schedules. Tt hes shown that
both the republican and democratic
parties are alike the servile tools of the
money power, and that the people cannot
hope from either of them for q repeal of
the infamous Sherman act Of 1873,
which denied debt burdened nation
the right Of minting it1 standard silver
coin.
We denounce them both for basely
surrendering the treasury administration
to the control Of British bankers, and
their Wall street agents and allies, and
we pledge ourselves to resist to the ut
most by every legal means, their con-
certed purpose to establish for this coun-
try q single gold standard, with all it's
deadly consequences to the Industrial
classes.
We therefore at this juncture present
as Of overmastering Importance our de-
mands regarding monetary legislation.
We demand the restoration Of the free
and unrestricted coinage of silver upon a
legal equality with gold at the ratio of 16
to l.
We further demand that the unre
stricGed coinage of both metals shall be
supplemented by full legal tender paper
money, issued exclusively by the federal
government in volume sufficient to re-
store and maintain normal and healthy
prices, and that there be provided Rde-
quate means for it's distribution directly
TO the people without the Intervention Of
banks.
On other national questions we re-
affirm and endorse the utterances Of the
Omaha platform, and we further de-
mRnd:
l. Municipal ownership and operation
Of water, gas, street railway, telephone
and similar public franchises and ser
vices that arsin their nature monopolies,
and that the principle Of home rule as
applied to states be applied to counties,
townships and municipalities as to all
matters of local concern.
2. Direct legislation through the in
itiativs and referendum and proportional
representation Of legislative bodies.
3. Construction Of public works with
out the intervention of contractors, and
abolition of contract convict labor.
4. Free school books published by the
state for the pupils in our public schools.

The War In Siam

Siam having refused to comply
with the terms of the French ultima
tum, the latter have ordered a
blockade of the Siamese coast. in
accordance with instructions from
Paris. the French minister at Bang
kok lowered the flag over his office
and notified the Siamese government
that he would go aboard the French
war ship Inconstante. There has
been no formal declaration of war.
but these events are equivalent to it.;
and that they are so construed by
both sides is evinced by the fact that
France proposes to seize and hold
certain towns and territory, while
Siam is preparing to sink French war
vessels. England has large CONNER
cial interests in Siam. and the cir
cumstance makes her abstention from
interference remarkable. She has
probably decided that she can best
protect British interests by not in
terferIng, for if she should NEEDLE
Russia would be likely to come to the
aid of France, and in this event Brit
ish possession of India would be less
secure. The French explanation of
the trouble is that Siam violated it's
treaty agreement in prohibiting
French gunboats from entering GER
tain rivers and gave further offense
by refusing satisfaction for the MUIR
der of French official and by aggres-
sions against French ships and sail
ors on the Menam river. The real
cause, as one paper puts it, is
Frances greed of territory.

fore. the finances OF the country are
again upon stable basis.
This policy does not mean post
ponemeft of tariff reform, but the
accomplishment of that reform in a
reasonable, logical. and conservative
fashion. 1t is a policy based upon
the broad view that includes the
financia, commercial, manufacture
ing, and general business interest of
the country as one great whole, suf-
fering from various ailments, each of
which n ust be treated with regard
to its re alton to the others. OF two
ailments, one chronic and the other
acute, it Is the latter that must be
treated first. DR.. Cleveland does not
believe in giving patient medicine
for his dyspepsia when he is dying

FRANK 5. BEEDLEsoN, the one

cisco May 10 to ride across the con-
tinent on safety bicycle, reached
the City Hall park in New York at
7:45 O'Clock one week ago this even
ing, having consumed &C DAYS, 9
hours and 45 minutes in making the
trip, and making a new record.
Beedleson finished in excellent
health. The time made by Beedle-
son lowers Nelson's record by 20
days, and the time made by Thomas
Stevens in 1888, by 81 days. The
perilous ride. which was accom-
Plished without a mishap, was all
the more remarkable from the fact
that Beedleson had his left leg ampu-
tated just below the hip l years ago.

For and Against the single Tax.

Hyattsville, Md, is still under single
tax rule, but there are few signs to show
that the principle has made much head
way since it won the day In the bitter
fight of last spring. It's opponents assert
that it has ruined the town, and they
point to the condition of the streets and
of the pavements to corroborate their
claim that the place has gone backward
since the single tax people got control Of
It's affairs.
These contentious the single tax men
vigorously deny, but their vigor is more
in the championship of the single tax as
q principle than in the demonstration of
its workings in this place. Generally
they say that it has not been in force
long enough yet for a fair trial. The
opponents reply with vigor that they
have had enough of it and that they in
tend TO bring about change in May,
when the annual election of town com
missioners will be held. The votes seem
to be pretty evenly divided between the
two factions, both of which are quietly
but earnestly preparing for the contest
in the spring
There is a great deal of feeling in the
fight, and the literature of the discussion
is becoming formidable. Cor New York
