A Good Platform.

UOVu VlhtiOTM.
Political platforms, says anex.
change, seldom amount to very
"uch, probably because the can
didates have little to do with
thrir making, and further, be-
cause they do not always stand
on them, but the Hon. ia mes s.
Havens, the Democrat elected in
the Rochester, N. Y, district re.
Gently had one that was O hum
ner and no doubt helped him to
make a change OF l6,0O0>votes.
Following are a lew extracts
therirom:
For government in the interest
OF the people and not the trusts.
For the removal of the tax on
lumber in the interest OF cheaper
houses, lower rents and the pres.
ervation of our forests.
For the removal of tax on
iron ore for the benefit OF all in.
dustries using iron and steel.
For thu revision Of the duties
on wool and wooden goods as
will bring all wooleu goods with
in the reach of all.
For reciprocity with Canada,
as advocated by the progressive
leaders in all PAL ties and by Pres
ideut Mckinley in his last speech.
For an honest effort to reform
the tariff schedules in the inter
est of the consumer, as adyoca.
trd by the lamented James B.
Perkins and all progressive men
OF both parties.
Against the sale OF legislation
or its exchange for personal or
political contributions Tor those
benefited thereby.
For action upon all proposed
legislation independent OF any
improper or selfish influence OF a
friend, client, political supporter
or organization. He is pledged
not to represent while a member
of Congress or receive compensa.
ton from any individual or cor
poration that may have an in
terpst in legislation.
For a workman's colnpensa-
tion act similar 10 the English
act, in order that every workman
injured at his work, or bis fami
ly, il he be killed, may get a rea.
sonable compensation without
the expense of delay obligation.
Intelligent employers who have
examined this plan agree that it
is best Tor all.
For an amendment to the Fed.
eral constitution permitting a
just income under which the bur.
dens OF taxation will be dlstribu-
ted in proportion to what the
taxpayer receives from the gov
eminent and IN proportion to his
ability to pay.
1t is evident that Mr.. Hayens
knew the people of his district
and gave them just what they
wanted yet it is good enough
for any man even in this part of
the country.

the Trent affair, based upon the original
documents, many of which were never
before published. It was during the second
empire that Mr. Bigelow was minister TO
France. and he had much delicate work
TO do in connection with Maximilian's Oc-
cupauon OF Mexico and he did It with tact
and ability.
Mr.. Bigelow, as I have said, begins with
his early life al Maiden, where his father
had a country store by the river side, as
well as sew -al sIoops that piled between
that town I'D New York. He had, beside
this a farm OF 80 acres, where, I believe,
Poultney Bigelow makes his home when he
Is in this country. AS youngster he went
10 public school and later. to Washington
college In Hartford. the name OF which in
stitution was later changed to Trinity col
lege. II he owes anything 10 Washington
college. he thinks It is q development Of a
taste for such Intellectual pleasures as
books suited TO his age could give.
After leaving college Mr.. BigelOw spent
the summer at home celebrating upon
what step he should take, and his plans
for the future. There was only one point
on which he was determined and that was.
he would not keep a village store as his
father had done and as his brothers were
doing. The law seemed to open the widest
horizon and the one that offered the most
attractions, so he entered the Office Of a
firm at Hudson, and later he drifted 10
New York, and New York has been his
home ever since.
While yet student OF law he made an
acquaintance which was destined to exert
an important influence upon his career.
A number Of young men who were then
studying law OF kindred professions lived
at the same boarding house with Mr.. Bige-
low, and among themselves they formed
a club which was called " The Column. -
Among these men were Parke Goodwin. DR..
AlonzO Clark, and Senator William NJ.
Evarts They had a supper once a month
and the symbol OF the club was a silver
column about two and half feet high, a
Greek lamp at its top, which was always
lighted at this monthly symposium This
column is now one Of the decorations Of
the Century club, Of which Mr.. Blgelow
is president, having succeeded the late
Bishop Henry c. Potter to that office. Mr..
Bigelow, I believe, is the only surviving
member OF the forty-eight members of
The Column" He attributes his long
life to his having fallen In with homeo-
pathic physician when he first came TO New
York.
In the early years OF his career as a law
student Mr.. Bigelow met Fitz- Greene Hal
leck and William Cullen Bryant: the former
became warm friend, the latter a life
long friend and business associate. In
looking back over his past life, Mr.. Bigelow
speaks Of the wonderful influence that his
association with Mr. Bryant had upon his
point Of view. Even after he had retired
from the Evening Post, he would say 70
himself when he was going to do some
