rights of every class and every section, its firm
and dignified conduct of foreign affairs and its
sturdy persistence in upholding the credit and
honor Of the nation, fully recognized by
the democratic party, and will secure to him
place in history beside the fathers of the
republic.
Civil Service Reform.
We also commend the administration for the
great progress made in the reform of the pub
lie service, and we endorse its effort to extend
the merit system still further. We demand
that no backward step be taken, but that the
reform be supported and advanced until the
un-democratic spoils system of appointments
shall be eradicated.
Economy in Public Expenditures.
We demand strict economy in the appro-
priations and in the administration of the
government
Arbitration of International Disputes.
We favor arbitration for the settlement of
international disputes.
We favor liberal policy of pensions to de-
serving SOlCl1erS ana sailors OF Gne Un1toQ
States.
Integrity of the Supreme Court.
The supreme court of the United States was
wisely established by the trainers of our con-
stitution as one Of the three coordinate
branches of the government. It's independence
and authority to interpret the law of the land
without fear or favor must be maintained.
We condemn all efforts to degrade that
tribunal or impair the confidence and respect
which it has deservedly held.
The Maintenance of Public Order.
The democratic party ever has maintained,
| and ever will maintain, the supremacy of law,
the independence of it's judicial administration,
the inviolability of contract and the obligations
of all good citizens to resist every illegal trust
combination, or ATTEMPT against the just rights
| of property, and the good order of society, in
which are bound up the peace and happiness of
our people.
| Believing these principles to be essential to
| the wellbeing Of the republic, we submit them
| to the consideration of the American people

of the republic, whose food and shelter, COM
fort and prosperity, are attacked by higher
taxes and deprecated money; in fine, we re-
affirm the historic democratic doctrine of
tariff for revenue only
American Shipping.
We demand that henceforth modern and
liberal policies toward American shipping shall
take the place of our imitation of the restricted
statutes of the eighteenth cen ntury, which have
been abandoned by every maritime power but
the United States, and which, to the nations
humiliation, have driven American capital and
enterprise to the use of alien flags and alien
crews, have made the Stars and Stripes an
almost unknown emblem in foreign ports, and
have virtually extinguished the race of Ameri-
can seamen.
We oppose the pretence that discriminating
duties will promote shipping; that scheme is
an invitation to commercial warfare upon the
United States un-American in the light Of our
great commercial treaties, offering no gain
whatever to American shipping, while greatly
increasing ocean freights on our agricultural
and manufactured products.
The Currency.
| The experience of mankind has shownTt
by reason Of their natural qualities gold is the
| necessary money of the large affairs of COM
merce and business, while silver is convenient
ly adapted to minor transactions, and the most
| beneficial use of both together can be insured
on it by the adoption of the former as a stand
ard of monetary measure, and the maintenance
of silver at parity with gold by it's limited
coinage under suitable safeguards Of law.
Thus the largest possible enjoyment of both
metals is gained with value universally &C.
cepted throughout the world, which consti-
tutes the only practical bimetallic currency,
assuring the most stable standard, and es-
pecially the best and safest money for all who
earn their livelihood by labor the produce
of husbandry. They cannot suffer when paid
in the best money known to man, but are the
peculiar and most defenceless victims Of a
debased and fluctuating currency, which offers
continual profits to the money changer at
| their COST
| Realizing the truths demonstrated by long
and public inconvenience and loss, the demo
cratic party, in the interest of the masses and
of equal justice to all, practically established
by the legislation of 1884 and 1858 the gold
standard of monetary measurement and like
wise entirely divorced the government from
banking and currency issues.
| Gold Must Be the Standard.
To this long established democratic policy
we adhere, and insist upon the maintenance of
the gold standard and of the parity Herewith
of every dollar issued by the government, and
are firmly opposed to the free and unlimited
coinage of silver and to the compulsory pur-
chase of silver bullion.
Government Must Cease the Banking
| Business.
| But we denounce also the further mainte-
nance Of the present patchwork system Of
national paper currency as a constant source
of injury and peril. We assert the necessity

TO test the purity of water
There is urgent need of "a simple
and reliable test for ascertaining
the purity of water. An analyti-
cal chemist gives the following
directions, which are readily I'M
derstood, and can be applied by
any person of average intelligence:
"Fill clean bottle three-fOurths
full of water to be tested, and dis
solve in the water half teaspoon
full of the--purest sugar loaf, OF
graduated will answer; cork the
bottle and place it in warm spo,
for two days; If at the end OF this
period the water becomes cloudy
or milky, it is unfit for household
use. If on the other hand, it re
mains clear and fresh looking, thu
probabilities are that it is at leas
approximately pure and fit for al
domestic purposes

The death warrant was read 10
the two remaining Sorrell murder
ers. on Saturday last, by Deputy
Sheriff Frank j. Mestayer, who in
forms us that the two men exhibit
cd stolid indifference. They are
extremely quiet and have nothing,
whatever, to say. The hanging
will take place OH Friday next
about twelve o'clock, and the two
murderers will be hanged from the
same gallows as Hippolite Brown
and Ruben Cately. There will un-
do,,btedly be a large crowd OF peo-
ME witness the hanging. The
IBERIAN will have a representa-
five present who will report any
thing the doomed men may have
to say at the last minute. Charley
Brown and John Green are aimOSt
daily visited by the priest. It is
the belief Of some of our citizens
that the murderers will make some
kind az definite statement before
thew are hanged, but we are IN
Mood RI halievd that this will not
be- the case; especially as then
MAST silence has not revealed the
SLIGHTEST confession OH the part Of
either one or the other. Sheriff
elect Henderson will as, before, b
hangman.

Made a Piece of Cloth Out Of Woven
Stone.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The weaving of stone into ma
teriaI for clothing, the making OF
flexible and lasting granite breech-
es, black marble coats and fancy
onyx waistcoats, will be a thing of
the near future, the mill hands OF
Manayunk say, as they point out
that already curtains are made OF
asbestos stone and cloth of chalk.
James McGuck, a Manayunk SPIN
ner. has an armchair covered with
! a soft and silken fabric of Titan
red, which he wove toilsomely out
Of rock, out Of fred SHE'LL" the
crumbling stone that Manayunk
masons build cheap houses OF.
McGuck thus describes the weav-
| ing: Il threw about ton OF the
rock, in Jumps as big as your head,
into the picker. The picker blades
were dulled, but the rock was
crushed, and came out good stock,
with q staple an inch long like
asbestos. This fluffy stuff threw
into my carding machine, and first
it became soft, inch-thick rope,
then a harder, quarter-inch Irvine,
and at this point my mule took 1t
and twisted it till it was an ordl-
nary thread, like that you see on
a spool of cotton. | wove it on a
hand loom then. This little square
Of Observation-Disclosures square
lis all got. 1t took a ton OF
rock to make this little square. It
is rather pretty, you see, and 1t IS
very, very durable. | claim it is
the first cloth ever woven out OF
real rock in the history of the
world"

SUNDAYS EXCURSION.

Sundays excursion to New Or
leans was crowded to overlooking.
At an early hour large numbers OF
our citizens assembled at the
depot for the purpose Of taking
the train for the Metropolis OF
Louisiana. The excursion was adj
vertised to leave New Iberia at
1877 a. M, but did not start from
here until nearly ten o'clock. The
delay was caused by some fault Of
the Railroad Company, they not
having given the necessary in
structions for the early departure
Of the Abbeville train. Many OF
our citizens became indignant, and
unjustly censured the st. Mary
Excursion Club; others even went
as far, and succeeded, in getting
their money back. The trip to
New Orleans was q very slow one,
thestrain not having reached there
until nearly four o'clock. TO make
up for the lost time, the departure
Of the train was delayed until 1l:30
y. M, thus giving the exclrsionists
d longer time in the city. We
might here add that nearly all who
got their money back went on the
lpycursion ANYHOW.

AN UP-TO-DATE ENTERPRISE.

On Saturday last, the writer
paid very pleasant visit to the
New Iberia Ice & Bottling Works
Of which Mr.. Victor Erath is now
the sole proprietor. While in the
premises paid especial attention
to all that was going on around
me. In one place my vision was
occupied by an employe handling
ice, which was at once placed in
drays for shipment to distant
points. At another part OF this
famous and well known establish
ment, l saw large quantities of de-
licious pop being manufactured.
This beverage goes to many parts
Of the State and has a wide repu-
tation. There were many other
scenes to interest the inquisitive,
but time prevented the writer from
seeing more. The proprietor and
his employees, ! have found, have
always been ready and wiling to
explain all the intriccies OF the
Ice and Bottling business with the
greatest clearness and politeness
possible.
We wish this concern all the
success it v ishes itself. (Ed.)
