PLATFORM SUGGESTIONS.

A correspondent of the DEMOCRAT
submits the following suggestion O
planks to be adopted by Ohio's Dem
ocratic convention:
1.-THE abolition of the prison
contract system which admits
prison-made goods to come into
competition with free labor.
''An eight-hour law, to apply
to all public work whether done
by the state, county or munich
pality, directly or through con-
tractors and sub-contractors.
1.-The taxation of franchise
values.
"a law authorizing municipal
ownership of lighting, telephone,
water and gas plants and street
railways.
Regulation of trusts
The Democratic platform last year
contained a plank demanding for the
people the right of Direct Control OF
Legislation. 1t is through the Dem
ocratic party only that the people
have hope of obtaining legislation
favorable 10 their interests; and the
platform to be adopted by the
approaching state convention of that
party may be relied upon to be
thoroughly in accord with the pro-
gressive spirit of the times.

The Ashes of Love.

The women are telling of an Atchi-
son man who treated his wife with in
difference and cruelty in their early
married life. They say he is now down
on his knees blowing into the dead
ashes of her love trying to revive a
spark of affection for him. How women
love to picture a man in such an atti-
tudel 1t is probably the dream of every
neglected wife that some day her hus-
band will try to warm his hands like a
frozen Cupid at the fires of her love.
and will find only dead ashes there
There are enough dead ashes in the aver
age woman 5 dreams to macadamize a
road. -Atchison Globe

ANY ONE
Can Soon Have a Horse
less Carriage.
Akron Parties are Working on a
Vehicle Motor.

When such thing as an automo-
bile was talked of some years ago,
thoughtless persons facetiously re-
marked that the scheme was not
feasible, and that il such an inven-
tion was ever constructed the article
would look like compromise between
Darius Green's flying machine and
an old-fashioned wheelbarrow.
But careful thinkers observed that
the promulgators of the hOrseless
carriage knew what they were talk
ing about, and are now generous in
praising them.
But here's something newer yet
than the first proposition of the in
vention. Right in the push, and not
far from the front, Akron inventors
have taken up the subject of auto
mobiles, and in the near future the
public will hear something that will
be particularly interesting to the
horseless carriage industry.
Three firms in this city-A. D..
Alexander and others, working with
the Akron Machine Co., VIM. Wolf
and Chas. Moatz, anu another firm
desiring their name to be withheld
from publication-1ave about COM
pleted plans for the combination of
motors, or propelling power, that can
be attached to any ordinary vehicle.
That's an entirely new feature: it's
interesting, and the citizens of Akron
will await with interest the develop
ments of the scheme, which bids fair
to succeed.

RICH PURSE
Was Presented to Rev.
T. F Mahar
BY the Members of His Church,.
Celebration Closed.

The celebra ton of Rev. DR.. Ma
har's twentv-fifth ordination i'll the
priesthood has passed into history
and will doubtless be chronicled as
one of the most prominent events
within the history of the st. Vincent
do Paul's church.
AS predicted by Mondays DEMO
Graf, the reception and concert
given. .at the church Monday night
was social and musical success.
The church walls were beautifully
decorated with banners, flags and
flcwcrs and the seating capacity of
the auditorium was taxed to its ut
most, chairs also being arranged in
the aisles. At the conclusion of the
program. DR.. Mahar was presented
with purse containing $4,000.
Nearly 100 priests from out of the
city were present at the jubilee ser
vices and solemn high mass Tuesday
morning, and so large was the audi
ence that standing room was scarcely
available. The services began at
$50 and continued until about y
O'Clock. Bishop Horstman of Cleve-
land, being unable to be present,
sent letter of regret. The jubilee
sermon preached by Rev. VIM. Nc
Mahon of Cleveland, was full of
eulogy to the sterling character of
DIR. Mahar and his untiring efforts to
do good for his congregation.
The banquet given to the visiting
priests, following the service Tues
day morning, was an elaborate fffair.

Juan hill to decorate the graves OF
comrades whose lives were given for
the cause of union and humanity.
And grateful and loyal people
reared cenOtaphs in memory of the
gallant heroes, and covered them
with natures choicest blossoms, as
the deeds of valor done by those who
now sleep in graves in foreign lands
We're recounted and praised. Large
crowds joined the veterans in march,
ing to the silent city of the dead,
there to strew upon soldiers graves
floral offerings in token of reverence
and love, and to speak words COM
memorative of what they did. And
what heroes are our heroes.
Heroes here; heroes TO every cline
where down-trodden sigh for free
dom, and where loyalty and bravery
are given their true accord. Loyalty
lives; and so long as flowers bloom
there will be wreaths and garlands
laid with loving hands upon the SOL
diers' graves.
The bodies of American soldiers,
asleep in graves across the ocean,
were not forgotten Tuesday. for
while the regimental bands played
funeral dirges, comrades-in-arms
laid Oriental flowers upon the graves
of those who fell fighting by their
side. While dead, these young SOL
diers vet live. They have joined
that Greater and Mightier Army,
and within the memories of their
friends, continue on in the unspoken
exercise of that full measure of de-
votion that led them to give their
lives in the cause of freedom and
humanity.
The war veterans of the six ties"
now find their ranks being devas-
tated faster by the decrepitude of age
than was ever. resultant from
deluge of shot and shell. Realizing
the growth of feebleness in the ranks,
the leaders of the Grand Army of the
Republic have about decided that
this years shall be the last occasion
on which the old soldiers are ordered
out to parade the streets. Hereafter
it is thought indoor rallies will be the
program for the soldiers of the G. A.
r. But Tuesday was the first Deco
ration day for the soldiers who par
ticipated in the war with Spain, and
they are likely to soon form a per-
manent organization.
Loyalty and respect to the soldier
dead was everywhere evidenced by
the citizens of Akron. Stores and
business houses were closed and the
city was quieter than usual. Hun
dreds of dollars must have been
spent by the citizens for flags dis
played on Memorial day. Large and
small flags and bunting adorned the
lawns and business places
and the cemeteries were. almost
covered with banks of flowers and
flags. The addresses delivered at
various places in the city were full
of eloquence and patriotism, and the
music was appropriate and beauti-
full. Large crowds visited the ceme-
teries, and many of the citizens
joined the veterans in the parade.
Co. F and the S. of V. rifles, COM
respectively by Captain
Herman Werner and Captain John
Foster, marched to Glendale ceme-
terry and assisted in decorating the |
soldiers graves.

Clev.land's Sarcastic Comments.

Elk. President Cleveland in AN inter
view with an Associated Press re-.
porter delivered himself of tln. f',l
lowing sarcastic comments on Presi
den: McK,uley's expansion policy.
While Grover has ,st his influence
with the American people and rarely
comes ont of his shell to speak t

pansion are nevertheless interesting
In the interview he said:
Il do not care to repeat my views
concerning the prevailing epidemic ~
imperialism anu expansion. Assum-
ing, however. that my ideas on the
subject are nntiquated and unsuited

OF certain natives IF our new POSSES

OF taking them under our control and
management should in the teast dis.

OF the SITUATION ought rot to have
been unanticipated nor the incidents

The remedy is obvious and simple.
The misguided inhabitants of our new
territory vino prefer something differ

which we proposed, or oppose our d;a.

has been Il feature OF expansion since

the prospective necessity OF destroy
