A MATHEMATIcAL pRoBLEM.

An amusing story is told of a GER
tain young sportsman who, with his
brother. concluded TO 90 on a cunning
trip. They procured the necessary
implements and started out, fully ex-
pecting to return with a bountiful sup
ply of the toothsome reed bird. They
succeeded in capturing, so the story
goes. nine dozen birds. Before start
ing out they promised all they got TO
their numerous friends When they re-
turned. the elder brother gave four
dozen to an uncle, two dozen to a we'll
known druggist. and his younger bro
ther got the rest. The mystery is how
that young man ate the rest OF the
nine dozen Of reed birds.

ization of the party into a silver organiza-
tion, wrestling from the gold standard men
with the greatest Of ease tho party power,
adopted a platform not only indorsing
the cause of free silver, but pledging the
support OF the electors of the state to the
nominees of the Chicago convention, and
nominated presidential electors and candi-
dates for the entire state ticket who are
unanimously In accord with the principles
set forth in the Chicago platform and
heartily in favor Of tho election Of Bryan
and Sewall.
This convention, according TO al indi-
cations and predictions, should have wit
messed the most bitter party fight in the
history of the state, but indications and
predictions went for naught, and q moro
harmonious assemblage was never seen in
the Nutmeg state. From start to finish
tho deliberations Of the 500 delegates were
controlled 10y that wing of the party which
fayors the cause Of silver. They appointed
their own officers, named their own pros
idential electors and the candidates for
the ontire state ticket The preliminary
business Of the convention was dispatched
with an ease and grace That was remarked
by every one in attendance When it came
to the adoption Of the platform, the onthu-
siasm of the convention knew no bounds,
and this enthusiasm prevailed throughout
that portion Of tho day which was given
up to tho nominations of the various can
didates.

The Platform.

Judge Blydenburgh read the platform,
which was in part as follows;
"Be it resolved That we indorse the
platform adopted at Chicago by the Demo
cratic national convention, and that We
pledge eur earnest and faithful support to
William J. Bryan and Arthur Sewall, the
candidates nominated by the Democratic
party.
Resolved, That the growing industrial
disasters and distressful poverty and idle
ness have been the over increasing result Of
the demonstration Of silver IN 1878 We
therefore invite the united support Of the
electors in the effort to restore the coinage
system which existed during the years of
our national prosperity and which is the
coinage system recognized I'm our national
constitution. We denounce the recent bond
issues and tho useless increase Of the ma
tional debt in timos Of peace
Resolved, That business depression and
contracted production are the inevitable
cause Of loss and disaster to all wealth pro-
ducing Industries, and that therefore there
is not sufficient inducement 90 capital to
invest upon constantly falling markets
and with money constantly increasing In
its exchangeable value and purchasing
power
Resolved, That as labor is a great pro-
ducing industry, we recognize the certain
result Of depression TO be less money to
be paid the labor product and limited
markets for its employment. We therefore
invite labor 70 unite to save itself from tho
danger which threatens it II money shall
continue to increase in purchasing power
and all else TO decrease in oxchangoabie
value in the markets Of the world
Resolved, That we favor such measures
as will secure equality OF representation
and the rule Of the majority in this state
Resolved, That we demand that meas

Of legislation by corporations and TO stop
the holding up and delaying or defeating
Of Just measures until those Interested sub

Republican idea as advanced by those
who control that party and dictate its

There are. no doubt. many men in the
Republican party who are opposed to the
tariff as Mckinley urges 1t. but it is not
believed that their influence IN the coun-
ellis OF the party is potent enough TO

RECALL OF THE TURKISH MINIS.
TER.

The recall of the Turkish Minister
from Washington is matter which
creates some surprise at the Capital,
and The cause therefor is difficult 10 un-
derstand
The absence OF any real or alleged
grievances on the part of the Sultan
makes the recall all the more mysterious,
and the o0ly solution of the matter is
that he takes this method of resenting
the action of Congress In expressing
sympathy with the Armenians and urg-
ing the European powers to active inter
vention in their behalf.
OF course nobody cares n fig about the
recall of the Minister and the breaking
oft diplomatic relations with this country
IL 1t were not for the fact that II
exposes citizens of the United States
residing in Turkey to momentary dan
ger.
There can be no doubt. bad as they
have been, that but for the activity of the
American minister in Turkey the affairs
in Armenia would have been worse by
far than they are. With the severine
of diplomatic relations. :he recall of ,a.le
American minister from Turkey must of
course follow. a fact which will greatly
incfeasebthe danger to the citizens of the
UNITED States who reside In the Sultan's
dominions, and 1t may lead to some
th'ns more serious than now appears.

THE CUBAN REVOLUTIONS.

Now that the conferees of the United
States Senate and House have agreed
| upon the Cuban resolutions adopted by
the Senate. it is probable that they will
be accepted by both Houses and then
sent TO the President. who will act
upon them us his Judgment die
tates. Jus; what Mr. Cleveland Will
do in the premises, of course. no one is
able TO say, at this time. but there is a
feeling in the country that he will do 49,
right thing.
The we'll known carefulness of the
President In dealing with matters or
great moment. together with his general
conservatism. leads to this opinion, and.
therefore, the belief Is that the country
has little to fear from his decision.
The following are the resolutions
adopted by the Senate. and it may be
remarked that they differ very little
from those passed by the House:
Resolved by the Senate 1.-THE House OF
Representatives concurring). That. in

to each all the rights of belligerents in
the ports and territory OF the United
States.
'Resolved further. That the friendly
offices of the United States should be
offered by the President TO the Spanish
Government for the recognition of the

The resolutions appear 10 be to the
| point and are certainly conservative. but
| 1t must be confessed that mistake has
been made in that portion of them
which says the friendly offices of the
| United States should be offered by the
President To the Spanish Government;
for the recognition of the independence
of Cuba"
The fact Is. any one who thinks thai
