and the maintenance of its rightful inf1u-
ence among the nations of the earth de-
mand a naval power commensurate with It's
position and responsibility. We therefore
favor the continued enlargement of the
navy and a complete system of harbor ana
SeacOaSt defenseS.
Foreign immigration.
For the protection of the quality of our
American citizenship and of the wages Of
our workingmen against the fatal competi-
ton Of Iow-priced labor. we demand that
the immigration laws be thoroughly en-
forced, and so extended as to exclude from
entrance to the United States those who
can neither read nor write.
Civil Service.
The civil service law was placed on the
statute book by the Republican party, which
has always sustained it. and we renew our
repeated declarations that it shall be thor
oughly and honestly enforced and extended
wherever practicable.
Free Ballot.
We demand that every cfn=en of the
United States shall be allowed to cast one
free and unrestricted ballot, and that such
ballot shall be counted and returned as cast.
Lynchings.
We proclaim our unqualified condemna
ton of the unciyiized and barbarouS prac
tice, we'll known as lynchng or killing OF
human beings suspecteG or charged with
crime, without process or law.
NdtiOltI
We favor the creation of national board
of arbitration to settle differences which
may arise between employers and employees
engaged in interstate commerce..
Homesteads.
We believe in an immediate return to the
free homestead policy of the Republican
RaaEts efSs fe RasSSae
which has already passed the House and is
now pending in the Senate.
Territories.
We favor the admission of the remaining
territories at the earliest practicable date,
having due regard to the interests of the
people of the territories and of the United
States. All the federal officers appointed
for the territories should be elected from
bona fide residents thereof and the right OF
self-government should be accorded as fal
as practicable.
We believe the citizens of Alaska should
have representation in the Congress of the
United States to the end that needful legiS-
lation may be intelligently enacted.
Temperance.
We sympathlze with all wise and legiti-
mate efforts to lessen and prevent the evils
of intemperance and promote morality.
Rights of Women.
The Republican party is mindful of the
rights and interests OF women protection
OF American industries includes equal op-
portunities, equal pay for equal work and
protection to the home. We favor the adj
mission of women to wider spheres of use
fulness. and welcome their cooperation in
rescuing the country from Democratic and
popu!ist acknowledgement and miSrule.
Such are the principles and policies of
the Republican party. By these principles
we will abide and these policies we will
put into execution. We ask for them the
considerable Judgment of the American PEG
pie. Confident alike in the history of our
great party and IN the justice of our cause,
IVeA form
in the full assurance that the election will
bring victory to the Republican party and
prosperity to the people of the United
States

A Napoleonic Legend Spoiled.

The Napoleonic legend tells how Ma
poleon, while Moscow was in flames,
found time to draw up a decree organ
izing the Theater Francois. Alas! the
story is not true. The French national
archives have recently been overhauled,
and it transpires that Napoleon was in
Poland when he received the decree
ready to be signed. He then signed it
and sent it back to Paris, but in the
margin wrote the following: ''To be for
warded when the army will be at Mos
COW. 1t is his majesty's intention that
the decree shall be dated from that
town" The archives do not say whether
the decree was sent to Moscow or not,
but it was certainly not drawn up raere.

Not Always Alike.

Alexis Piron, native of Dion, is per-
haps most notorious for his epitaph:
''Here lies Piron, who was nothing-not
even an Academician." One night he
was asked at a party if he could tell the
difference between a woman and a mir
ror. "a woman" he replied, talks
without rejecting; mirror reflects with
out talking" Upon this, lady asked :
Can you now, Mr.. Piron, tell me the
difference between a man and mirror -
And, as Piron remained silent. she went
on: "a mirror is always polished, while
a man sometimes is not"

Ann Arbor, Mich, June 15.-Ex-Gov.

He had been in an unconscious state

physical power last autumn, which has
ultimately resulted in death.

native of Maine. His public career was
one of the most notable of any resident

part of enginemen that will prove to be
a benefit to both employer and employee.
a large number of enginemen have
labored in the interest of economy, and
although a portion of them have failed
to manifest due interest in an
