Thomas Jetfekso.v. says the Louis
ville 7 iwe the wisest man whode eyes
ever beheld the Western Hemisphere,
said that if the American Union should
ever degenerate Into a despotism, the
Judiciary Department of the Federal
Government would te the agency to
bring about the revolution. The Force
bill that passed the House at Washing,
ton provides for the appointment of
ward politicians by Federal Judges to
register votes count them atd certify
them. It prostitutes the courts to polit
ical ends, aod unless the people repudi
ate the law, the law will bind them
band and foot.

the last number of the rbiUdal
phl Amtrinn, a leading Republican
paper or that city, its editor Wbartoa
Backer in speaking of the coming elec
tion in this S-ate and of the candidates
saya : The nomination of Governor
rattisoo wakes the opportonity for the
self respecting Eepablleina of Pennsyl
vania to effectively express their discon
tent with the shameful control which
now dragi down their party. Cirtainly,
Governor Pat'ison ia a Democrat ; but
he is an upright and honorable citizen,
and in hia relation to those affairs with
which be wi!l bare to deal, whea he
shall again be elected the affairs of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania he
represents closely the principles which
the mass of the Republican citizens of
the Slate hold. lie represents the de"
mand of the people for the emancipas
lion of Srate affairs from corporation
control, and from ttioee evil and audat
cioua influences which habitually misuse
the functions of the Legislature. In
both these particulars he is in absolute
contrast to the candidate whom Mr.
Quay has named. Mr. Delamater is in
close partnership with corporate power
and corporate schemes, and he has
proved himself, by bis course In the
Legislature, the willing, prompt and
capaple agent of the nnderhand control
which Mr. Quay exercises there.
Tre work of rescnlng the Dunbar
miners had to bs given np, all hopes of
rescuiDjr them alive abandoned. At
4 o'clock A. M., on Tuesday of last
week the Hill Farm mine wae reached
aod the air tested. It was found te
contain 20 per ceat, of black damp.
This, in the estimation of Saperinten
dent nill, was conclusive evidence that
noue of the miners would be found
alive.
The fans were dtiven until 9 o'clock
for the porpose of driving out the foul
air and thus make further explorations
possible. At the hour nice selected
men. Including District Master Work
man Watchorn and Superintendent
Hiil. went into the mine again for tbe
porpose of determining the fata of the
miners.
At 2 o'clock In the afternoon Dr.
Walker emerged from the mine and
said that all of tbe thirty one impris
oned miners were dead. He said tbe
smoke was so dense In the mln6 ten feet
from where the all was brcken Into
that do one could enter and survive.
Two dinner buckets and coats were
found by tbe rescnlng party. The
intombed miners were in the slope, and
were undoubtedly burned to death.
The grip that the sugar trust has oa
the Republican party says the Xationnl
Jkmorrat is something tremendous.
The party dosen'a dare disoblige Us
master however much unpopularity It
risks incurring. Tbe original McKin
ley bill reduced all the duties on sugar
to a point that left the refiners a protec
tion of one fifth of a cent a pound.
They protested that this was not
enough, and when the bill emerged from
the ways aod means committee it had
Increased this protection two-fifths or a
cent by Increasing the rates on refined
sngar atd taking ail dulv off of raw
sugar. But two-fir tbs was not quite
rnough, aod tbe proposal to admit
Sugars between So. 13 aod N'o. Id duty
free was highly otjectionable to the
trnst because these sugars are clean
enough for use without refloing, and the
on every pound ot sugar eaten by an
American. And so when tbe bill was
reported from tbe Senate finance com
mittee it put sugars from No. 13 to No.
16 on the dutiable list and increased tbe
protection for the refiner to three fifths
of a cent a pound. Thus the sugar
trust has aecured what it originally
demanded.
Ten years ago there was only one city
In the country that had a population of
a million New York. Thia year the
census records three eucn cities New
York. Chicago and Philadelphia. Two
or three foreign nations have larger
citiei than tbeee, with populations of
over a million. London, indeed, has a
population of 4.000 000. but England baa
do oi her city that has yet reached 1.000.
000. Taris, with its population of about
2 300.000. is tbe only eity having 1.000,
000 people in France. Berlin base pop
ulation of about 1 600.000, but It is the
only city In Germany which has passed
the million point. The onlv 'million
aire" city In Austria ia Vieona. which
claims about 1,300.000 people. St.
Petersburg, which In 18S3 had 930,000
inhabitants, undoubtedly has more than
a million now. Moscow is nearly as
large. Toe great increase in the town
and city population of the older States,
with the small Increase, or no increase
at all of their agricultural counties. Is
not a particularly heatthy aign.
The trial trip ot the new cruiser
Philadelphia waa made last week over
a measured course of eighty miles off
he coast of Locg Island. The ship
steamed four boors at a rate of over
nineteen knota an hour probably 19 5
knots will tnrn ont to be about the
right figures. At tbe same time near
ly 11.000 horse power was developed,
and a structural strength was shown
never equaled by any vessel in the
world of like displacement. The build
eis, Meeers. Cramp A Co., are likely to
receive ? 100,000 In premiums for bay
ing exceeded the requirements of their
contract. The trial is held to show
that both designers and contractors
have kept abreast of the extraordinary
developments in American ablp build
ing since tbe early cruisers were laid
down, and that the r esse Is now being
built by this Government are fnlly np
to those or the leading naval services r

The Hendricks memorial observan

To be the free choice of an nn trammelled
convention sues as this Is no light dintine
tlon. I esteem yonr action therefore at Its
highest worth when i treat It as reentering
tbe expressed will of tbe Democratic masses
whom yon represent rather than toe Irk
some and despotic behest of an arrogant
master.
Thus viawed I repeat with all sincerity
my gTatefnl appreciation of yoar act in as
signing me to the post of leadership in the
contest you now Inaugurate en behalf of
tbs people of the Com moe wealth to rescue
their Government and polities from un
worthy and selfish dictation.
Mr. Pattison continued with an ex
hortation to rally round tbe standard
so worthily established by the party in
recent years. He was greatly applaud
ed. The riatternu
Following ia the text of the Demo
cratic platform :
Tbe Democrats of Pennsylvania, by
iueir rrpreatsmaiivei in :ate Conven
tion assembled, renewing their former
pledges of fidelity ard devotion to tbe
I "screa ngoie or tne people and the State,
j da declare :
First That ballot reform is necessa
ry, and to this end tbe necessity for tbe
aasemoling of a national constitutional
convection for the purpose of removing
the market ballo'. clause of theconstitu
ton. so that tbe laws may be constitu
tionally enacted for the assurance of
tbe secrecy or tbe ballot and the freedom
of tbe voter, U recognized as imperative
and unavoidable.
S;cond That tariff refotm ts neces
sary in orCer ttat cannfactcrers tcay
be freed from tbe burden of unnecessary
taxes on raw materials, tbe laborer re
lieved from taxation on the necessaries
of life, and tbe consuming millions
disburdened ot the incubus of exceasive
revenues laid only for the production of
a surplus which becomes the spoil of
party parasites and public p'underers.
Third That local tax reform is oec
essaiy in order that the taxation for
county, municipal and township pur
poses may te equalized, tbe unjust dis
crimination againet land values and in
favor of certain kinds of personal prop-,
erty under existing laws may be collect
ed, and that the farmer may be relieved
of the doub!etax on the value of his
farm and the principal of tbe mortgage
which may stand against it.
Fourth That the law requ!riDg that
tbe surplus in the State Treasury shall
b invested In State or United States
bonds must be observed and executed.
Fifth That we recur with pride to
tbe administration of ex President
G rover Cleveland and challenge corns
parison or tbe courage, fidelity aDd
integrity or that administration, wilh
the duplicity, vacillation aDd corrupt
surroundings of that now in power.
Sixth Tbe silence of M. S. Quay
under tbe charges which have been
made agains; bim through tbe public
press can only be interpreted as a con
fession of bis eullt. and his re entior of
a seat in the Uoited States Senate while
lefosicg to demand a legal investigation
is a national scandal.
Seventh That right to be appren
ticed to a trade should not be supject to
tbe restriction of race or nativity, but
should be enjoyed equally by tbe youth
of theS'ate without distinction, except
as to tneiit.
E ght That we deprecate and de
noorce ncequal apportionment of dis
tricts for the election of representatives
In Congress, and believe that tbe voters
of the State should be allowed to make
their own apportionments, which they
could do if no apportionments were
made by law and each Toter were per
mitted to east one Tote ror one candi
date for Congress and no more.
We accept tbe issue of Quayism ten
dered by the late "Republican conven
tion. at,d we array the Republican party
for its usurpation of powers in the ad
ministration of tLe federal government
which tbe people of tbe States have not
granted ; for placing in tbe hands of a
dictator, in the chair of tbe Speaker
of the Federal House of Representa
tives, the power to legislate for the rep
resentatives of the whole people ; for
its open disregard for the provisions of
the civil service law, which the reei
dent of Its choice Was solemnly pledged
to eapport ; for Its failure to fulfill its
promises to th honorably discharged
soldier of tbe Union ; for its ceaseless
efforts to piomote sectional strife and
disturb th tranquility of tbe country ;
for the lavish and reck less unond it nra
I of the pub'ie moneys : for tbe passage
tnrougn the House of Representatives
of a tariff bUI which increases the taxes
on necessaries, reduces only those laid
pou luxuries
upuu luxuries, ana is calculated to pro
i moJ aDd 'oter trusts ; for its failure to
' enfrce the laws against the importation
iof eontr aca pauper laborers ; for its
i tl'njPt to PM tedeial election law
designed to exite a race war ; and.
nnauy ana especially, ror Its indiffer
ence to the rights or labor ; its defeat
of tbe labor bills in tbe last legislature;
its failure to enforce Articles 16 and 17
of tbe constitution by proper legislation;
its corrupt methods in popular elections,
and its cringle g subserviency to a partv
boss, who stands mute before the most
terrible incn'iat.on eyer charged against
a peblie official.
Recalling wilh pride tbe glories of our
party's aaat, rejoicing in the majesty of
its present strength and looking forward
to Ita speedy triumph throughout the
country, we confidently appeal to the
Intelligence and Integrity of tbe people
of Pennsylvania for their active and en
thusiastic support of the political re
forms this day inscribed upon the stand-ard-of
a unUed, progressive and aggres
Bive Democracy.
We sympthiz with the relatives and
friends of tbe victims of the appallirg
disaster at the Hill Farm mine, and
demand or tbe Legislature the prompt
enactment of measures tor the more
effectual protection of the laborers in
tbe mines.
We commend fr.vorably to tbe con
sideration or our Senators and represent
atlves in Congress tbe claims of the
eitizens of our border counties for losses
sustained during tbe rebellion.
The Democratic Strength.
By tbe nomination o? Robert E. Pat
tison for Governor yesterday, tbe Dem
ocrats seized tbe best opportonity which
they have bad ror yeara to prcii by tbe
weakness and errors or their opponents.
Tbe strength or the nomination lies in
tbe rigorous and independent personali
ty or tbe candidate, and distressing as It
may be to some or tbe Bourbon elements
in the Democracy, to have a candidate
who will attract votes from outside, tbe
attraction Is so great as to naerly re
verse tbe conditions under which the
two parties generally begin a canvass in
Pennsylvsnia.
Hardly a stronger measure of ex Gov
ernor Pattison s popularity, aa a vigor
ous independent and honest public man,
can be given than tbe fact that be has
been three times a candidate ror public
office In Republican strongholds ; tbat
be has never been defeated ; and that
his record in rfflje has rwen iB,
as to aatisry the independent R-pubii-eacs
who contributed to bis successes
with their part in electing him. His
two elections aa Controller of Pblladel
pbia shewed the coLfiden.je which in
that strongly R-pnblican city was felt
in his fairness and ability ; and bis
