THE TEACHER.
At noon within the market place he srood,
And people gathered round him at his word,
And there he spake to them of what was goo
Waking the better thought of all that hear:
Of Love and Faith and Hope—the great Trio,
That uplifts Life—he spake as one inspired,
And ss he taught, all hearts seemed in a tune,
All Reais with nobler, higher aims were
fired.
Night came; the people went unto their rest,
Stirred by desires more precious than new
god:
But all alone, with head bent on his breast,
The Teacher sat—hungry, tired and cold.
Butone; whom Doubt still held, returned to
A question that the teacher might explain ;
He ot the good man, and forgot his task
In seeking to relieve the mortal pain:
Warmed, fed and sheltered, then the Doubt-
er said
“Dost thou teach truly, and yet find thy lot
1s misery ?” The ne raised he head,
g d, Self ever is forgot.”

AFTER THE ADJOURNMENT.
. The heavens were suffused with the
‘yellow light of dawn when, the chair-
man at last declared the convention ad-
journed, and as the thousands of Dem-
ocrats filed out of the ball shouting
victoriously for Grover Cleveland, the
more exuberant, as they looked in the
direction of the rising sun, declared
that the hours of sleep had passed.
And =o indeed they had not only for
the victorious element but for every-
body else, for the streets have echoed
with ceaseless cheers for Grover
Cleveland ever since his nomination
was declared unanimous at 4.20 o’clock
this morning,
Tammany was defiant tothe end.
The greatest orator of its organization
was brought forward atthe last mo-
ment, as he hurled the greatest poli-
tical philippic of the age into the very
thought of his opponents, the thou-
sands of Cleveland enthusiasts were
conquered into admiration for his
courage and no orater of the national
convention of 1892 received more re-
spectful consideration than was accord-
ed to ‘the Hon. Bourke Cockran, of
New York. At the conclusion of it the
vast hall reverbrated with enthusirstic
tribute to his grandeur. but the die of
destiny had been cast and the warning
of the eloquent New Yorker was pow-
erless to check the great tidal wave
which twenty minutes later hurled
from its crest the nomination of a great
national convention at the feet of
Grover Cleveland.
The convention brought with it many
surprises. None was greater than that
the committee on resolutions should
have been repudiated as disloyal to the
revenue reform principles of the Demo-
cratic party and its tariff plank swept
aside for the. substitution of a clause
declaring against the principles of pro-
tection by maintaining that the federal
government has no power to impose
tariff duties in’ excess of the revenue
necessities of the government when
honestly and economically adminis-
tered. ;
The ballot on the presidency devel.
oped much enthusiasm but not man
surprises.
ly prepared estimates which hava been
It showed that the careful.’
given from time to time during the past
forty-eight hours by various leaders of
both factions were very nearly accurate. |
The margin difference between the
claims of both factions was less than
five per cent. of the entire vote of the
convention and the conclusion of the
ballot found that the ex-president had
less than a dozen votes in each of the
number requisite for the nomination.
In only one respect was there a sig-
nificant surprise. Thesilver states and
territories of the west failed to give that
solid vote against Grover Cleveland
which was so confidently anticipated
by the anti-Cleveland people.
Not until the states were passed and
the call of territories nearly through
was the nomination of Cleveland on the
first ballot assured. But when even
the most sanguine of his opponents
could no longer hope, the air of dejec-
tion of which spread throughout their
ranks, told their opponents that vic:
tory was theirs and the cheers of five
minutes did not suffice to pronounce
the tribute of the enthusiastic Demo-
cracy for Grover Cleveland.
In a conventidn controlled by the
friends of Grover Cleveland by over
two to one, it remained for his princi-
pal opponent, Henry Watterson, of
Kentucky,ito challenge the very friends
of the recognized leader of tariff reform
for faltering at the crucial moment and
endeavoring to compromise and tem-
porize with the burning issue of the
age. It was the invicible logicof Wat.
terson, uttered with an emotion almost
terrible in its intensity, that caused the
convention to pause on the brink; and
80 able was the Kentuckian supported
by the fiery Neal, of Ohio, who opened
the fight as a dissenting member of the
committee, that a waye of sentiment
which all ‘the pleading of Vilas was
powerless to resist swept over the as-
sembly and by a vote of nearly two to
one the committee's recommendation
was borne down and another launched
on that political stream which flows in
but one direction, tariff for revenue on-
ly For a time it was hard to make
the friends of Cleveland in the various
delegations believe that the Watterson
movement was not a subterfuge of the
enemy. That the Kentuckyian was
glad to avail himself of every means to
weaken the prestige of Cleveland there
is no doubt ; but when he declared that
the tariff declarations of 1884 were
no longer sufficient to meet. the enlight-
ened viewg of the Democratic party of
to-day, the convention agreed with him
and adopted Mr. Neal's substitute re-
gardless of its consequences on the
presidential ballot.
PATTISON SENDS CONGRATULATIONS.
Governor Pattison has sent the fol-
lowing congratulatory telegram to
Grover Cleveland: “Accept congratu-
lations. The people will ratify the
work of the convention at the polls in
November.
A Winning Platform.
The Foundation Upon Which Democracy Will
Stand.—The Party Pledged Against: the Force
Bill.—~The McKinley Bill Denounced.
No small part of the work at Chicago
last week was the adoption of a plat-
ippi, Charles B. Henry ; Missouri, J. form upon which the Democracy will

son ; Nebraska, Tobias Castor ; New!
Hampshire, Alva W. Sulloway ; New
fight for the supremacy of right this fall.
It embodies everything that is Demo-
cratic in its ideas and is antagonistic to
all that is Republican and consequently
harmful to the masses of the people.
THE PLATFORM.
CuicAGo, June 23.--The report of
the platform committee was as’ follows:
Section 1. The representatives of
the Democratic party of the United
States in national convention assembled
do affirm their allegiance to the princi-
les of the party as formulated by Mr.
D tenon and exemplified by the long
and illustrious line of his successors in
Democratic leadership from Madison to
Cleveland ; we believe the public wel-
fare demands that these principles be ap-
plied to the conduct of the federal gov-
ernment through the accession to power,
of the party that advocated them, and
we solemnly declare that the need of a
return to those fundamental principles
of a free, popular government based on
home rule and individual liberty was
never more urgent than now, when the
tendency to centralize power at the fed-
eral capital has become a menace to the
reserved rights of the states that strikes
at the very roots of our government un-
der the constitution as framed by the
father of the Republic.
Section 2. e warn the people of
our common country, jealous of the
preservation of their freo institutions,
that the policy of federal control of elec-
tions to which the Republican party
has committed itself is fraught with the
gravest dangers, scarcely less moment-
ous than would result from a resolution
practically establishing monarchy on
the ruins of the Republic. It strikes at
the north as well as the south, and
INJURES THE COLORED CITIZENS
even more than the white; it means a
horde of deputy marshals at every poll-
ing place armed with federal power, re-
turning boards appointed and controlled
by federal authority, the outrage of the
electoral rights of the people in the sev-
eral states, the subjugation of the color-
ed people to the control of the party in
power and the reviving of race antagon-
ism now happily abated, of the utmost
peril to the safety and happiness of all,
a measure deliberately and justly de-
scribed by a leading a Republican sena-
tor as ‘the most infamous bill that ever
crossed the threshold of the senate.”
Such a policy, if sanctioned by law,
would mend the dominance of a self
perpetuating oligarchy of office holders,
and the party first entrusted with its
machinery could be dislodged from pow-
er only by an appeal to the reserved
right of the people to resist oppression
which is inherent in all self-governing
communities. Two years ago this re-
volutionary policy was emphatically
condemned by the people at the polls;
but in contempt of that verdict the Re-
publican party has definitely declared
in its latest authoritative utterances that
its success in the coming elections will
mean the enactment of the force bill
and the usurpation of despotic eontrol
over the elections in all the states.
PLEDGED AGAINST THE FORCE BILL.
Believing that the preservation of re-
publican government in the United
States is dependent upon the defeat of |
this policy of legalized force and fraud. |
we invite the support of all citizens who
desire to see the constitution maintained
in its niegtily with the laws pursuant
thereto, which have given our country
ating against either metal or charge for
mintage, but the dollar unit of coinage
of both metals must be of equal intrinsic
and exchangeable value or be ndjusted
through international agreement or by
such safeguards of legislation as shall
insure the maintenance of the parity of
the two méals, and the equal power of
a hundred years of unexampled prosper- | every dollar at all times in the markets
ity ; and we pledge the Democratic par- | and in the payment of debts; and we
ty, if it be entrusted with power, not on-
ly to the defeat of the force bill, but al-
80 to relentless opposition to the Repub-
lican policy of profligate expenditure
which, in the short space of two years,
has sqandered an enormous surplus,
emptied an overflowing treasury, after
piling new burdens of taxation upon
the already over taxed labor of the
country.
Sec. 38. We reiterate the oft-repeat-
ed doctrines of the Democratic party
that the necessity of the government is
the only justification for taxation, and
whenever a tax is unnecessary it is un-
justifiable; that when eustom house tax-
ation is levied upon articles of any kind
roduced in this country the difference
etween the cost of labor here and labor
abroad when such a difference exists
fully measures any possible benefits to
labor, and the encrmous additional im-
positions of the existing tariff fall with
crushing force upon our farmers and
workingmen, and for the mere advan-
tage of the few whom it enriches exacts
from labor a grossly unjust share of the
expenses of the government, and we de-
mand such a revision of the tariff laws
as will remove their iniquitous inequali-
ties, lighten their oppressions, and put
fon on a constitutional and equitable
asis.
MCKINLEY TARIFF LAW DENOUNCED,
But in making reduction in taxes,
it is not proposed to injure any domes-
tic industries. From the foundation of
this government the taxes collected at
the custom house have been the chief
sourse of federal revenue. Such they
must continue to be, Moreover, many
industries have come to rely upon legis-
lation for successful continuance, so
that any changes of law must be at
avery step regardful of the labor and
capital - thus involved. The process of
reform must be subject in the execution
of this plain dictate of justice. ;
‘We denounce the McKinley tariff law
enacted by the Fifty-first congress as
the culminating atrocity of class legisla-
tion ; we indorse the efforts made by
the Democrats of the present congress
to modify its most oppressive features in
the direction of free raw materials and
cheaper manufactured goods that enter
into generai consumption; and we pro-
mise its repeal as one of the beneficent
results that will follow the action of the
people in entrusting power to the Dem-
ocratic party. Since the McKinley tar-
iff went into operation there have been
ten reductions of the wages of laboring
men to one increase. We deny that
there has been any increase of prosperi-
ty to the country since that tariff went
into operation, and we point to the
dullness and distre's, the wage reduc-
tions and strikes in the iron trade as the
best possible evidence that no such pros-
perity has resulted from the McKinley
act.
IMPORTATION OF FOREIGN WEALTH.
We call the attention of the thoughtful
Americans to the fact that after thirty
years of restrictive taxes against the
importation of foreign weath in ex-
change for our agricultural surplus, the
homes and farms of the country have
become burdened with a real estate
mortgage debt of over two thousand
five hundred million dollars exclusive of
all other forms of indebtedness; that is
one of the chief agricultural states of the
west there appears a real estate mort-
gage debt averaging $165 per capita of
the total population, and that similar
conditions and tendencies are shown ' to
exist in the other agricultural exporting
states. We denounce a policy which
fosters no industry so much as it does
that of the sheriff.
Suc. 4. Trade interchange on the
basis of reciprocal advantages to the
countries participating is a time honor-
ed doctrine of the Democratic faith, but
we denounce the sham’ reciprocity
which juggles with the people’s desire
for enlarged foreign markets and freer
exchanges by pretending to establish
closer trade relations for a country
whose articles of export are almost ex-
clusively agricultural products with
other countries that are also agricultur-
al, while erecting a custom house bar-
rier of prohibitive tariff taxes against
the countries of the world that stand
ready to make our entire surplus of pro-
ducts and exchange therefor commodi-
ties which a~e necessaries and comforts
of life among our people,
STRONG OPPOSITIGN TO TRUSTS.
Sec.5. We recognize in the trusts
and combinations which ars designed
to enable capital to secure more than its
just share of the joint product of capital
and labor, a natural consequence of the
prohibitive taxes, which prevent the
free competition which is the life of
honest trade, but we believe their worst
evils can be abated by law and we de-
mand the rigid enforcement of laws
made to prevent and control, together
with such further legislation in restraint
of their abuses as experience may show
to-be necessary.
Skc. 6. The Republican party, while
professing a policy of reserving the pub-
lic land for small holdings by actual set<
tlers, has given away the people’s herit-
age till now a few railroads and non-
resident aliens, individual and corpor-
ate, possess a larger area than that of all
our farms between the two seas. The
last Democratic administration reversed
the improvident and unwise policy of
the Republican party touching the pub-
lic domain, snd reclaimed from cor-
porations and syndicates, alien and do-
mestic, and restored to the people near-
ly one hundred million acres of valuable
land to be sucredly held as homesteads
for our citizens, and we pledge ourselves
to continue this policy until every acre
of land so unlawfully held shall be re-
tained and restored to the people.
THE SILVER QUESTION,
Sko. 7. We denounce the Republican
legislation known as the Sherman act
of 1890, as a cowardly make shift fraught
with possibilities of danger in the future
which should make all of its supporters,
a8 well as ite author, anxious for its
speedy repeal. We hold to the use of
both gold and silver as the standard
money of the country and to the coinage
of both go'd and silver without discrim-
demand that all paper currency shall be
| kept at par with and redeemable in such
coin. e insist upon this policy as es-
sentially necessary for the protection of
the farmers and laboring classes, the
first and most defenseless victims of un-
stable money a fluctuating currency.
Sec. 8 We recommend that the pro-
hibitery ten per cent. tax on state bank
issues be repealed.
Skc. 9. Public office is a publie trust.
‘We reaffirm the declaration of the na-
tional Democratic convention of 1876
for the reform of the civil service, and
we call forth honest enforcement of all
laws regulating the same. The nomina-
tion of a president, as in the recent Re-
publican convention, by delegations
composed largely of his appointees,
holding office at his pleasure, is a scan-
dalous satire upon free popular institu-
tions and a startling illustration of the
methods by which a president may
gratify his ambition. e denounce a
policy under which federal office hold-
ers usurp control of party conventions
in the states, and we pledge the Demo-
cratic party to the reform of these and
all other abuses which threaten indi-
vidual and local self government.
A STRONG NAVY FAVORED.
Sec. 10. The Democratic party is the
only party that has evergiven the coun-
try a foreign policy consistent and
vigorous, compelling respect abroad and
inspiring confidence at home, while
avoiding entangling alliances. It has
aimed to cultivate friendiy relations
with other nations and especially with
our neighbors on the American conti-
nent, whose destiny is linked with our
own, and we view with alarm the ten-
dency to a policy of irritation and blus-
ter, which is liable at any time to con-
front us with the alternative of humilia-
tion of war. We favor the maintenance
of a navy strong enough for all purposes
of national defence and to properly
maintain the honor and dignity of the
country abroad.
Sec. 11: This country has always
beea the refuge of the oppressed from
every land—exiles for conscience sake—
and in the spirit of the founders of our
government we condemn the oppression
practiced by the Russian government
upon its Lutheran and Jew subject, end
we call upon our national government
in the interest of justice and humanity,
by all just and proper means. to use its
prompt and best efforts to bring about
a cessation of the cruel persecutions in
the dominion of the Czar and to secure
to the oppressed equal rights. We ten-
der our profound and earnest sympathy
to those lovers of freedom who are strug-
gling for home rule and the great cause
of local self-government in Ireland.
DEGRADING AMERICAN LABOR.
Sec. 12. We heartily approve all legi-
timate effcts to prevent the United
-| States from being used as the dumping
ground for the known criminals and
professional paupers of Europe, and we
demand the rigid enforcement of the
laws against Chinese immigration or the
importation of foreign workmen under
contractto degrade American labor and
lessen its wages, but we condemn and
denounce any and all attempts to re-
strict the immigration of the industrious
and worthy of fi reign lands.
Sec. 18. This convention hereby re-
news the expression of appreciation of
the patriotism of the soldiers and sailors
of the Union in the war for its preserva-
tion, and we favor just and liberal pen-
sions for all disabled Union’ soldiers,
their widows and dependents, but we de-
mand that the work of the pension of-
fice shall be done industriously, impar-
tially and honestly. We denounce: the
present administration of that office as
incompetent, corrupt, disgraceful and
dishonest.
Sec. 14. The federal government
should care for and improve the Missis-
sippi river and other great water ways
of the republic so as to secure for the in-
terior states easy and cheap transporta-
tion to the tidewater. When any water
way of the public is of sufficient impor-
tance to demand aid of the government,
that such aid of the government should
be extended, a definite plan of continu-
ous work, until permanent improvement
is secured.
THE NICARAUGUA CANAL PROJECT.
Sec. 15. For purposes of national de-
fense and the promoticn of commerce be-
tween the states, we recognize the early
construction of the Nicaraugua canal
and its production against foreign con-
trol as of great importance to the Unit-
« 1 States.
Sec. 16. Recognizing the World's
Columbian exposition as a national un-
dertaking of vast importance, in which
the general government has invited the
co-operation of all the powers of the
world, and appreciating the acceptance
by many of such powers of the invita-
tion extended and the broadest liberal
efforts being made by them to contribute
to the grandeur of the undertaking, we
are of the opinion that Congress should
make such necessary financial provision
as shall be requiste to the maintenance
of the national honor and public faith.
See. 17. Popular education being the
only safe basis of popular suffrage, we
recommend to the several states most lib-
eral appropiation for the public schools:
Free common schools are the nursery of
good government, and they have always
received the fostering care of the Demo-
cratic party which favors every means of’
‘increasing intelligence. Freedom of edu-
cation being essentials of civil and relig-
ious liberty as well as necessary for tho
development of 1nelligence, must not be
interfered with under any pretext what-
ever. We are opposed to state interfer-
ence with parental rights and rights of
conscience in the education of children,
as an infringement of the fundamental
Democratic doctrine that largest ind’vid-
ual liberty consistent with the rights
of others insures the hightest type of
American citizenship and the best gov-
ernment.
THE NOTORIOUS SWEATING SYSTEM.
Sec. 18. We approve the action of
the present house of representatives in
assing bills for the admission into the
Union as states. of the teritories of New
Mexico and Arizona, and we favor the
early admission of all the territories hav-
ing necessary population and resources
to admit them to statehood, and while
they remain te ritories we hold that the
officials appointed to administer the gov-
ernment of anv territory, together with
the Distrieta of Columbia and Alaska,
should be bonafide residents of the terri-
tory or districts in which their duties are
to be performed. The Democrasic party
believes in home rule and the control of
their own affairs by the people of the vic-
inage. .
Sec. 19. We favor legislation by con-
gress and state legislature to protect the
lives and limbs of railway employes and
those of other hazardous transporiation
companies, and denounce the inactivity
of the Republican party, and particularly
the Republican senate, for causing the
defeat of measures beneficial and protec-
tive to this class of wage workers.
Sec. 20. We are in favor of the enact-
ment by the states of laws for abolish-
ing the nutorious sweating system, for
abolishing contract convict labor and
for prohibiting the employment in fac-
tories of children under fifteen years of
age.
SEc. 21. We are opposed to all sump-
tuary laws as an interference with the
individual rights of the citizen.
Skc. 22. Upon this statement of prin-
ciples and policies the Democratic par-
ty asks the intelligent judgement of the
American people. It aska a change of
the administration and a change of par-
ty in order that there may be a change
of system and a change of methods, thus
assuring the maintenance unimpaired of
institutions under which the republic
has grown great and powerful.
Harness For Niagara.
Colonel Henkle's Latest Scheme for Getting Pow-
er From the Fall.
N1aGARA Farrs.—Ten years ago
Colonel Leonard Henkle announced
his purpose to transmit the power of
Niagara Falls to the cities of the Domin-
ion and the United States. Now, he
comes with another great scheme, He
would erect an immense building, 800
feet high, having a tower 250 feet high,
from the Goat Island shore to the main
land on the Canada side. Iron chutes
would conduct the water from the rapids
above the falls] to the building. The
flow of water into these chutes would
commence some distance up stream, and
by the time the building was reached
there would be a fall of 300 feet or more
to the river bed. Powerful Turbines
would be located in the wheel pits in
this imposing structure, and then the
great river would fall and generate pow-
er according to Henkle.
“Not one bit of excavation will be
necessary,” said he, ‘for huge plates to
fit the river’s bottom will be cast for a
foundation. Not a bit of water will be
diverted from its usual course, but this
mighty river, as it flows through our
pulding, will contribute its awful force
for man’s benefit and profit. There are
$8,800,000 back of me, and we shall at-
tain success.” Asked how he would
make the first connection from shore to
shore at this dangerous spot, he replied:
by shooting a silver wire across-’’ It re-
mains to be seen whether the Colonel is
again ten years ahead of the times.
Emmons Blaine Dead.
Not Able to Survive the Minneapolis Conve ntion
CHicaco, June 19.—Emmons Blaine,
the second son of James G. Blaine,
died at 11:15 o’clock yesterday morn-
ing at the McCormick mansion, 135
Rush street. He had been ill only a
few hours and his death was wholly
unexpected. Septiceemia, which de-
veloped late Friday night from a bowel
complaint, was the immediate cause of
his death.
When the Blaines determined to
make the fight for the nomination Mr.
Blaine entrusted to Emmons the post
of mauager of his interests at Minn-
eapolis. He bad worked night and
day and the final and to him unexpect-
ed blow struck him when his nervous
sytem was exhausted aud his general
health undermined by the drinking"
water of Minneapolis.
“Emmons Blaine was the least known
of all ‘the Blaine children. He was
married September 29, 1889, at Rich-
land Springs to Miss Anita McCor-
mick,daughter of the millionaire manu-
facturer of reapers, who cared little for
society, His wite’s share of the Mc-
Cormick estate was something over
$3,000.000, and Emmons Blaine man-
aged it, past of his duties being the
presidency of the Chicago Ship Build-
ing Company.

he handed me a bottle of Chamberlain’s
