A Platform Falsehood.
The republican state convention with
impudence imp ualleled placed in its
piaitorin a resolution asei ting that the
democratic party was preventing a lair
apportionment, l.vt the people of
Pennsylvania know tho truth. During
mo regular session lhe democrats con
tended that the counressional minor-
tioniuent sliould be based on thu strength
of the two great panics in tho census
year, 1330. On this vote the republi
cans aro entitled u fourteen congres
sional districts and ti fraction and the
democrats to thirteen and a fraction.
Senator Cooper and tho stalwarts said
emphatically that nothing should bo
taken into consideration but "contigui
ty and compactness of territory and
equality of population as near as may
be." Finding that these terms would
give the democrats fourteen and per
fifteen congressmen, the stalwarts
dropped the mask and now as empha,
tically demand that political majoiities
must be consideied, but that appoi tion
iuent must bo based on the number of
counties eariicd by the respective par
ties. A number of bills have been present
ed at the regular and extra se.-sions.
and we give below the name of the ie
preventative or senator who, presented
the bill with results politicalls on the
JGarlield vote : 1

school children of their congregation
that hereafter they will not be allowed
to wear bangs or friz.es while attend
ing Divine service. If they do they
will bo sent home. Bev. O'llara, iu
a lecture to the children, condemned the
fashion of wearing bangs in severe
terms and said no young girl who ever
expected to become a lady would be
guilty of the act of banging. The
parents coincide witli the pastor, with
fow exceptions. It is understood that
a circular has been issued by Bishop
O'Hara to all the clergy of tho diocese
calling their attention to the mat
ter. Captain Webb , aecordinglo the An
burninn, which lately interviewed
him, proposes to go over Niagara Falls
in a rubber ball four and one-half feet
in diameier and one-fourth of an inch
thick. Tho Auburnian says : "The
Captain will enter this ball, when
it will bo closetl air-tight. Air will
then bo forced into tho ball until
it will bear any outside pressure to
which it may bo subjected. This ball
will then bo carried into the river fiom
tho Canada side, cast off, and allowed
to follow the curreut over the great
falls. A point has been selected where
a ball, when cast off, follows the cur
rent over the centre of the Horse Shoo
Falls. Hero the river is free from
rocks, and the water at the crest of the
fall is about twenty feet deep. To de
termine whether or not life would ex
ist in a ball while the passage is being
made, a dog was enclosed and sent
over the fails, and canio out alive. In
responso to a question the Captain said
that he expected to bo shaken up, but
