SUFFRAGE CONGRESS.
Fred Douglass Greatly Wrought Up by

Fred Douglass Greatly Wrought Up by
Remarks of Professor Weeks.
CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-In the Suffrage Con-
gress to-day Fred Douglass was greatly
wrought up by Stephen B. Weeks, Pro-
fessor of Trinity College, North Carolina,
who read paper on negro suffrage. The
Professor said: Negro suffrage is a fail
ure. 1t must remain a failure so long as
it is not an ally of the white vote. The
Southern people will not submit to domi-
nation. The white man must rule No
man who has not lived in negro land
knows what negro domination is. 1t
means the destruction Of property, ruin
and bankruptcy"
When the Professor had finished,
Douglass made an impassioned reply.
You are not afraid of negro domina-
tion," he said. 1.-The negro can never
rule this country. He would be outvoted
by sixty million of whites. There is no
opposition to the negro in the South until
he aspires to rise. If he aspires to be-
come a lawyer or doctor, he at once be-
comes an upstart."
The sections discussed papers on the
government of cities, female suffrage and
law reform.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 9.-Will the Democ-
Tacy of Ohio stand by President Cleve-
land or by the platform on which he was
elected? That is the question to be solved
within the next thirty-six hours, and
there is no man in or out of Ohio who
can predict the result with confident ac-
curacy. Half a dozen candidates are in
the field. Neal, who framed the tariff
plank in the last Democratic national
platform, and who is rabid free silver
coinage man, is in the lead. Neal has de-
clared that he will abide by the Chicago
platform, and his followers are Demo-
Gratis of the unterrified stamp, who will
stick to him as long as there is a show of
his nomination. Ex-Governor Campbell
and his friends make no denial of
the fact that they are with the Admins
tration, and that they are out to
beat Neal. Campbell himself will not
be candidate, but it is said viii support
Charles w. Baker of Cincinnati. A
lively fight is expected in the convention
for all the offices, as plenty of candidates
are seeking them.
Some members of the Platform Com
mittee have received instructions to up
hold the policy of tbs Administration,
both on the financial and tariff questions.
The committee is now locked up in a
room at the Grand Hotel preparing a
platform. 1t is expected that hot fight
will be made by the silver men for free
silver.
a complete change of front by the
Platform Committee is causing comment.
At midnight the committee adjourned.
having referred the formation of the
platform to a subcommittee of six,
which will report tomorrow morning.
There will be no silver plank in the plat
form, and Cleveland's policy will be
upheld.

PROTECTING SEA sEAcHEs.

It is estimated that about one million

struction Of the forests. moving desert
of sand dunes, rolling inland, burying
the fertile soil, and rendering the land
barren by the sand showers sprinkled
over 1t; while, following the landward
roll of the dunes, came the resistless
march of the victorious sea
The endeavor, then, of these threat
ened countries has been to regain, by
slow degrees, the protection of the for

usually the enemies of the land, being
thus Kindred from drifting inland, are
impressed into the service Of the land,
and become Its coast-guard against the
invading waves. The second step is to
plant them with beach grass, or some
other sand-loving plant, to bind the
sand together, and, by the succession
of growth and decay, finally to form
soil
We are accustomed to regard sand as
utterly barren, but the plants native to
the coast sands of Prussia have been
enumerated by naturalists, whose esti-
mates vary from I'll to 2S4 varieties
OF these one Of the most available Is
the Arundo arenaria (marram), which
thrives only in sand and In the salt air
of the beach. This in time serves TO
prepare the soil for larger plants.

been reclaimed by planting. In that
country the maritime pine (Pinus mar
