PLATFORM.
After the nomination of Bushnell the fol
lowing resolutions were adopted:
"The people of Ohio, In state convention
assembled, congratulate the people of the
eountry upon the signal victory In the state
and congressional elections last fall, assur
ing glorious national victory In 18U6, and de
clare as fo lows:
First We reaffirm our adherence to the
principles of the Republican party as de
fined by the national convention In 1892,
chief among which are:
A protective tariff which, restoring Ameri
can wages and Amerloan produots, shall
prove tbe blgheat interests ot American la
borers and American developments while
providing adequate revenue for the use ol
government.
Reciprocity which, while seeking and
gaining the world's markets for our surplus
products, shall not lower or destroy Ameri
can wages, nor surrender our own market to
foreign commodities wbloh can be produced
t home.
Fair elections, based upon free ballot and
an honest count, the safeguard of American
institutions, the true source of publio au
thority. Honest money, consisting of gold, silver
and puper, every dollar as good as any other
and all baoked by the national faith and
bonor. Wo laver bimetallism, and demand
tbe use ot both gold, and sliver aa standard
money, either in accordance with a ratio
to be llxed by an International agreement, If
that oan be obtained, or under such restric
tions and such provisions, to be determined
by legislation, as will secure the mainten
ance of the purity ot values of the two met
als, so that the purchasing and debt-paying
power of tbe dollar, whether ot sliver, gold,
or paper, shall be at all times equal.
Second We deuouuee the; present Demo
cratic administration, whose vlolous and
vaolllatlng course bat brought us distress at
Vome and humiliation abroad. It has in
augurated a pollov looking toward ultimate
free trade, which baa derauged business,
crippled our Industries, distressed our homes
and dealt labor a serious blow. With de
plorable Incompetency It bat failed to raise
revenue enough to run the government, and
bad to borrow, In less than two years (162,
000,000, mainly to pay ordinary running ex
penses, selliug in secret to favored foreign
yudlontes tbe bonds of the government at
firlces far below their actual value. It bas
owered tbe Hag In Hawaii, iu an un-American
attempt to overthrow a republle and re
store a monarchy; and, with uupatrlotio In
difference, bas suffered British troops to land
in Nicaragua In contemptuous disregard of
tbe Monroe doctrine; by those and similar
sou our oountry .second In power and dignity
to none, bas suffered a loss of respeut
Ihrougout the world.
We denounce tbe tree wool provision of the
present tariff act aa an unjuat discrimination
against an Important Industry, and demand
tuob protection for tbeep husbandry as will
secure fair price for American wool.
We denounce the present administration ot
the pension bureau for Its betrayal of the In
terests of the union soldiers, and we pledge
anew to the veterans ot the Republic a watch
ful cure and recognition of their Just vlnlmt
upon a grateful people.
We Indorse the able, honest and business
like administration of Gov. Wllllnm McKln
ley: we are unqualifiedly In favor of biennial
sessions and Indorse the action of the last
general assomply in returning to the policy
of the founder ot our state Constitution in
that regard; we recommend the Inst general
assembly for the core nnd economy ot its ap
propriations, taxing privileges and franchise
enjoyed nt the hands of the stnte, nnd thu
relieving to that extent the burden ot tax
ation now resting upon the people.
Believing the proposed Nicaragua canal I
needed for commercial extension and nation
al defense, aud tbnt It ought to be constructed
and operated by the government ot the
United Slate or under Its protection, we
commend this project to our repreeentatives
In congress.
WORKS LIKE A CHARM.
Kindergarten System Eitabliahed on
Indian Reservatlona.
The system ol kindergartens recently es
tablished on tome ot the Indian reservations
bas proved so successful that It la soon to be
widely extended, especially In tbe Southwest.
The Indlnn children there aro tismilly shy.
Under the influenjo of the kindergarten
games they have been found to rapidly lose
their shyness and reticence, nnd to become
friendly with each other and their teachers.
A number ot new day schools will also
soon be opened In that part ot the country.
It has also been found best to educate the
children as tar as possible In kindergarten
rather than In boarding schools. Alter a
time those, whose cases it seems advisable,
can be transferred, with light opposition
from their parents, who probably would have
objected strongly If the children had been
taken away to a boarding school at the out
set. The principal work of the schools at pres
ent is in the line of industrial education. The
girls are being taught cooking, sewing, wash
ing clothes, and the llkn, and the boys, plow
ing, tilling, tending cattle and using tools,
rather than even reading and writing. They
learn English with considerable ease, but
hnve no Inherited aptitude for mathematics.
Indians have very little appreciation ot num
bers, being fnmiliar with only addition and
substruction.
Home of tbe Indians have reached a high
degree ot proflency, and the Indian office la
dally receiving applications Irom Indian
girs, who have beeu graduated from high
schools, for positions as teachers. Places
are found for some, but not many, aud the
rernituTlsr usually return lo their LUs and
relapse inlo tTeiTfflfnfr 51 liToT
Huperlutendent W. II. Hallmaun, ot the
Indian schools, Is very nnxious to tlnd posi
tions for these gli Is, Id nearly any class ot
of work. He says they make excellent ser
vants, and he would like to hear from anyone
willing to employ them.
THE C0LIMA DISASTER.
Bodies of tbe Crowned Bobbed A Fatal
Spot.
Later news from the wreck of the Collma
give tbe number of death at 187 and the
number of people saved as twenty-six. Seven
teen of the rescued passengers have been sent
northward on the steamer San Juan by the
Pacific Mall Steamship Company and the re
mainder who desire to return will be sent on
the steamer Barraoouta. Three passengers
and two members of tbe crew were picked up
at Coahuayaua by tbe steamer Romero
Iiubto.
Forty-five bodies of the drowned have been
recovered on the rocky coast south of Man
sanlllo. The steamer sank In water 2,000
feet deep, not more than six miles from shore.
Mnny oi the bodies, before they were recover
ed by the militia, bad been robbed. Tbe
civil magistrate bas called out all tbe district
rurales. a kind ot militia, to patrol tbe coast
and prevent further vandalism.
United Htates Consul l)e Clma at Mazatlan
and Consul Bartle at Acapulco have been or
dered to the scene of the wreck, to see If
anything can be done to save people and
property interests The Collma curried (SOU,
000 worth of American goods and (100,000 In
Mexican coin shipped at Mazatlan.
The Collma encountered heavy weather all
along the Mexican coast. Much difficulty
was encountered In keeping off tbe rooks at
Isabella Island and l'iedra de Mar. The
pnssengors were In a constant state of ter
ror, which was augmented when, the ship
having put out from Han Bias, a woman pas
senger from Hnn Francisco became crazed
with fear, and spent the entire night on
deck, entreating the officers to put back and
praying heaven lor deliverance.
The const in the neighborhood of Man
znnillo seems a fatal spot. Nearly all the
wrecks of tbe Panama route have occurred
within 100 miles north or south of Munr.a
ulilo. Three vessels have been lott in that
neighborhood, and those are the only large
vessels ol tbe Panama line that bavo been
wrecked. Another remarkable fact that all
were lost In still weather, Indicating some
peculiar condition of the current setting iu
at this point and driving tbe vessel In upon
tbe shore
HILL'S SILVER PLAN.
International Co-Operation and Free
Bimetal I lo Coinage.
Senator Hill baa given out a carefully
prepared interview on Senator Sherman'
Zanesville speeob. He say that Sherman'
idea of bimetalism, where silver I used only
(or subsidiary ooln, 1 not true bimetalism.
Be state bis own ourrency plan In the follow
log word.
"I would exterminate forever tbe green
back dollar, wbloh by tbe endless redemp
tion chain, make tbe ohletest of our existing
surrenuy woes. I would, by International
bimutallsm, by free bimetallic coinage on a
ratio of 1!, and not by Henutor Sherman's
bastard bimetalism exomplilled in bis law ot
IHUO, now repealed lift our standard silver
dollar Into a world-wide parity with out
gold dollar. I would thereby put an end to
the degradation ol auy coined Hollar ol ours.
I would not have, as now, one ratio, which is
16, lor our silver dollars, and a higher ratio
as now, tor our minor silver.
"If I could have my wish I would not bave
the treasury purchase another ounce of silver
sr coin another sliver dollar under existing
eonditlous till tbe possibilities of Internation
al bimetallism on a ratio of 16 bad been
fairly tolled by the whole power ut the Unit
ed Htutes, exerted earnestly aud in good faith
by tbeir congress, their president and cabi
net, their secretary ot state, their dlplomutlo
and oousular agent everywhere."
Dead for Sure.
The body of Jose Marti, the Insurgent
leader, who was killed at the battle ot Bocks
do do ltlos, arrived at Santiago de Cuba,
Sunday. Having been embalmed In accord
ance wltb the ordera ot Captain Geueral Mar
tines de Campos, It f is exposed lo ;be public
gaae at Santiago de -uba Monday lu order
that there may be absolutely uo doubt iu tb
fiublic mind us to the identity of the dead
euder. Later the corpse was photographed
and wa alterword buried.
Fair's Loss In Wheat.
The balano of tbe wheat belonging to the
estate ot Jame O. Fair, amouutiug to 171,
400 tous, stored since August, 1893, at the
Porta (Josta warehouse, San Fruusclsco, ba
beeu sold to a syndicate of dealers. Tbe
sale was confirmed by the probate court, the
price paid being 86 oeul pur cental. By the
deal (3,049,800 will pass Into the bauds ol
tbe administrators, it Is estimated that th
loss 00 Fair's utttemDt to make a ooruor on

TRADE REVIEW.
Summary of the Past Week by Bradstreet
and Dun.
The observance of Memorial Day service
served to check the volume ol general trad
thl week, but thore ba been a further
shrinkage In the amount ot business tran
sacted, due to not altogether well-founded
fear ol serious damage to tbe grata
crop.
Report from manufacturing Industrie at
eveuty-flve cities east of the Rorky moun
tains show that more than !U7 important
manufacturing concerns started np between
April 1 and a week ago, by renson of which
63.000 employes have secured work. But the
additional and slgmllcnnt tact Is found In th
report that wages ot DO fewer than 178,000
Industrial employe have been advanced
within the period an average ol 10 per cent,
ol whom slx-seventbs received tbe advance
without striking.
Exports ot wheat (flour Inoluded a wheat
from both coasts of the United Htates and
Irom Montreal thl week amount to il, 420,00)
bushels, against 2,764,000 bushels last week.
2,401,000 bushel In tbe week a year ago
8,263.000 bushels two year ago, 2.801,000
bushels In 1H08 and 2,607,000 bushels In the
week of 1801. There some gains at the Houtb,
with Improved agricultural prospecta la
Tennessee, affecting business at Nashville,
Memphis ami Chatanoogn, Only a moderate
ly active demand In a few lines is announced
for Atlanta, Havannah and at Jacksonville,
where the vegetable crop la the largest lor
years. 'I bore Is an Improved demand at
Now Orleans, and buyers are showing more
ol a tendancy to anticipate wants.
Tbe Iron manufacture I gaining rapidly,
nnd the average ol price, which had fallen
Id February 1 to 54. 1 per cent, of the price
Id October, lHuo, has oow risen to 69.1 per
cent, most ol the advance having been made
in May. Bessemer pig hns been lilted to -(11.65,
and gray forge to (10.40, caused by
the growing demand; tank steel plate are
(5 per ton higher nt Philadelphia, and nail
producers have combined, raising wire nail
to (1.15, and cut nail to (1 by car loada at
Pittsburg. Hie strnctursl demand Is very
very large, and while the buying In other
forms of Iron and steel products is conserva
tive, great confidence prevails that prices
will hereafter advance materially. It Is be
lieved that the wage question will be settled
at Pittsburg tbls year without any strike.
The fnilnre durldg tbe past week have been
215 In tbe United States, against 19 laal
year, and 84 lu Canada, against 27 Inst year.
