THE PLATFORM ADOPTED.

Main Planks in Republican Declaration
of Principles.
The platform begins by calling atten.
ton to the existing prosperity under
Republican rule and mentioning the
fact that exports exceed imports. Con-
tinuiug, it says:
And while the American people, sus-
tanned by this Republican legislation,
have been achieving these splendid
triumphs in their business and commerce
they have conducted end in victory son-
cluded q war for liberty aid human
rights. Nc Thought Of national aggran-
diSei,seht furnished the high purpose with
which American standards were unfurled
y Was a war u9sought ami patiently re-
sisted, but when it came the AmerlcaA
government was ready. lts t1eet' were
cleared hor action. Its armies vert in the
field aind the quick and signal triumph OF
its forces on land and sea bore equal trib-
ute, to the courage of American soldiers
aAd sailors, and to the skill and foresight
of Republican craftsmanship. To ten
( millions of the human race there was
given new birth of freedom and to the
! American people a new and noble respon
sibility.
We endorse the administration Of Will
lam Mckinley. Its acts have been estab
lished in wisdom and in patriotism and al
home and abroad it has distinctly elevated
and extended the influence of the Ameri
can nation
Praise for William Mckinley.
Walking untried paths and facing un
foreseen responsibilities President Nc
kinley has been in every situation th'
| true American patriot and the uprigh
statesman-clear in vision, strong II
Judgment, firm in action-always inspir
ing and deserving the confidence of hi
countrymen.
In asking the American people to en-
dorse this Republican record and to re
new their commission to the Republican
party we remind them of the fact that th
menace to their prosperity has always re
| sided in Democratic principles and no les
in the general incapacity of the Demo
cratic party to conduct public affairs
The prime essential OF business prosperit.
is public confidence in the good sense o
the government and in its ability to dea

never earned 1t is hopelessly inadequate

Will BE Modelled After the oxford,
England, Institution-Place Where
American WOrkingmen May Get
Courses of study at Home.

Two enthusiastic young Americans
came over here, says a London CORE
spondent, aud put their time and mon
ey into the establishment Of a novel in
stitution that made good many con
seryative Engllshmen smile. The Eng
lish workingmen, however, didn't smile
at all, but concluded that the American
idea was a good thing, and helped it
along. 1t grew and grew until there
was no doubt about its being big sue
cess, and now, oddly enough, English
workingmen are raising 100000 In shil-
lings and pennies to propagate in the
United States the idea that originally
came from there. and incidentally some
Of the English worklngmen are Kicking
hard because their brethren are doing
this thing.
The idea was to establish working
mems college to which a man might
60 or from which he might get courses
of study at home. That sounded rather
dreamy, like some Of the economic
IDEAS of John Ruskin, in whose name
the work was taken up. But IT devel-
oped presently that IL was not the in
