4 The republican party having al
ways been the friend Of labor and labor

and conflicts between employers and
employed, resulting at times in the de-

arising between labor and capitol by le-
gally constituted arbitration by which

5. We believe the transportation cor
porations OF this state are the peoples
public servants; we oppose any and all
harsh or unjust legislation concerning
them, but we do demand such legislation
as will clothe the board OF railway COM
mlssioners Of this state with full power
and authority to correct evils, right
wrongs, and in general to prevent all un-
Just determinations, and to provide a
reasonable maximum tariff of passenger
and freight rates.
We recommend that each county con-

of members for the legislature, take such
action as will require all candidates
upon the Legislative ticket to commit
themselves upon the question Of legisla-

pose OF this resolution.
6. We view with apprehension the
growth Of corporate power in this coun-

prices from the We pledge
the party and it's nominees for congress

Therefore, we demand that the coming
legislature make a thorough investiga-

legislation provide adequate remedies for
the evil that may be found to exist.
8. We invite every voter who Is a low

In addition to the platform as above

Divide the OfRces.
There is no doubt whatever that fusion
will be carried through. There are a
few middle readers, who think Il straight
ticket should be put in the field, but
that element is so small, numerically,
that they will cut no figure i'll final re-
suits. A majority of delegates favor
fusion, and, while the fusion committee
refuses to give details prior to their re-
port to the convention, it is asserted
that the Democrats will be conceded

LONG ISLAND LOSING tTs TAIL


Inroads of the Sea Causing Alarm 70
Properly Owners ut Orient Point.
Long Island, which looks on the map
like a big fish about to swallow New
York city, is apparently being slow
ly swallowed by the ocean. Portions
of its shores have disappeared beneath
the waves, and now the northern fork
of its huge tail is vanishing. About
two miles Of Orient point, hat formed
a sandy beach two years ago, is now
under fifteen feet of water. The light
house on the point was six rods from
the sea a few years ago. 1t has since
been toppled over by the sea, and only
, small part of the surrounding beach
Is visible.
The bluffs on both the sound and the
bay side of Orient point have been
sinking at the rate of about ten or
twelve feet a year. The same state Of
affairs is true Of IoEtauk point, but
there the bluffs jut up SO abruptly and
so high above the sea that the rising
of the water is not so noticeable. A
rise of a foot or two on the low shores
near Peconic bay viii subpaerge acres
of land. Much ~ the Threatened land
on Orient point forms fertile farms,
and the steady advance OF the shore
line is causing no small concern to the
wners. The water has in several
places found its way across q low spot
on the point from the sound to the
bay. The result will be to ultimately
divide the peninsula into a series Of
small islands, similar to Plum, Little
Gull and Great Gull islands, all Of
which were doubtless once a part Of
the mainland, and were cut off by the
rise OF the sea. The village of Orient
is situated in a particularly narrow and
low portion Of the peninsula, and the
next serious inroad of the ocean will
probably occur there. In that case
two thousand acres Of land and a vii.
lage of one thousand people will have
to be abandoned.
The value of the property threat
ened is placed by the assessors at six
hundred thousand dollars. The mar
rowest point in the peninsula is a little
to the west of Orient, between that
village and East Marion. The town
of Southold, in which both of the vii.
lagos are included, has spent consider
able money in protecting this isthmus.
Assemblyman Higbie has had a bill
passed by the assembly appropriating
fifteen thousand dollars for a sea wall.
A few years ago the government built
a hrealwater between Shelter island
and Greenport to protect Grcenport
barbor and its bordering uplands.
When the larger portion of Gardeners
island became submerged, the sea
rushed in and, Notwithstanding the
breakwater, caused a powerful under
tow that can be felt tar up in Little
Peconic bay. This action of the sea is
gradually cutting away the shores
both of Shelter island and the main.
land. Owners Of property in the
neighborhood intend to ask the gov
eminent to place the breakwater
further out from the shore.-N. Y.

what depressed.

tant matter" said the t,icnd. MAY
be you can help me out
"Well," said the secretary, what Is

81 don't know" said the friend,
whether I va told you that l am
subject, at intervals, to the widest
cravings for beefsteak and onions. 1t
has all the characteristics of a con-
1rmed drunkard's craving for rum.
This craving struck me a few minutes
ago, and l at once determined to graf
ify it when dinner time came. Then I
suddenly recalled that | had promised
to call this evening on some ladies who
are here from my home, and l must
keep that promise. Yet my stomach is
shouting for beefsteuk and onions,
and 1 am wavering between duty aud
appetite"
Cant you wait until after the call?"
asked Uncle" Jerry solicitiously.
Never" said the friend earnestly.
Cant you postpone the call?"
Impossible" said the friend.
"Well," said Uncle" Jerry, I'll tell
you what to do. When dinner time
comes you go up to John Chamberlin's

said Mr.. Crausby, knowing that she
must die and unable to give her any
relief. / had spent over five hundred
dollars with the best medical skill to
be had, and felt that there was no
further hope.
Zone day I happened to read an ad-
vertisement of S. S. S., recommending
that remedy for ancer, and in view of
the failure of the most eminent physi-
clans in the country, I confess I had
little faith left in any human gency.
However, purchased a bottle of S.S.S.,
and to my delight it seemed to benefit
her. After she had taken a couple of
bottles the cancer began TO heal, and
astonishing as it may seem, a few bot
ties more cured her entirely. You can
probably better understand how re-
narkab1e this cure was when explain
that the cancer had eaten two holes in
the breast two inches deep. These
healed up entirely, and although ten
years have elapsed, not a sign of the
disease has ever returned, and we are
assured of b of the cure,
which we at first doubted.
GAS my wife inherited the cancer, 1
certainly regard S. S. S. as the most
wonderful remedy in the world, and it
is truly a Godsend to those afflicted
with this terrible disease. You may
be sure that shall always be grateful
to that remedy, for without it my home
would now be deso1ate and my chill
dren mother1ess."
The above is but one of many re-
markab1e cures being daily made by
S. S. S. Cancer is becoming alarm
ing1y prevalent, and manifests itself in
such a variety Of forms, that any lump,
sore or scab, it matters not how small,
which does not readily heal up and dis
appear may well be regarded with
suspicion. We will gladly send to any
address, full accounts of several other
cures fully as remarkable as this one.
For real blood troubles, S. S. S. has
no equal. 1t wipes out completely the
most obstinate cases Of blood diseases,
which other remedies do not seem to
touch. S. S. S. gets at the root of the
disease, and forces it out permanently.
S. S. S. is guaranteed purely vegeta-
bic, and is a positive and permanent
cure for S~crofu1a, Eczema, Cancer,
rheumatism and all traces of bad
blood. Our valuable books will be
