THE PLATFORM The Following is the Platform Adopted by the Williamsport Convention. First. The 1 moerntie party, in State Con vention assembled, hereby renew* its alle giance to and declares its faith in the prin clples of Democracy as formulated by .I. tT.-r --smi mid Illustrated by MtulUmn. Monro.- Jackson and t'b vdand. it congratulate* the Ainericaii people upon the iirst fruits of the Democratic administration, which iulierited from its Republican predecessor a bankrupt Treasury and unwise financial legislation, impaired public credit and widespread disas ter, and which, under the sagacious, courag eous and patriotic leadership of its great President. (Jrover Cleveland, led the people out of the slough of despondency t<> tin high ground of substantial and increasing prosperity. We challenge the fairness of our country men and ask that the Democratic party now receive the benefit of that renewed pros perity whose welcome note is heard on every side. Second. The enactment of the Sherman silver-purchasing act and the MeKinlcy tariff law found, as accurately predicted by Mr. Cleveland, their results in bankrupt railroads, closed factories, ruined farms, abandoned Holds, impaired national credit and general disaster. The repeal of such Iniquitous legislation and the substitution of more moderate tariff laws have found tluir immediate results in the resumption of business and the restoration of the na tional credit. Third. As vindicating the principle* of a riff r. form, to which the Deni .era ry I* un • l.ibly P'e.lged, v. •• challenge osp. . i.il at ii ion 11• ilie fact t:ia: such prosperity and has been in st pronounced in the itidu*trh-. u hose existence our opponents claimed w -r. (''•-pendent upon high tariff du ics. Tin gloomy prediction thai the iron and steel 11• - ■ lusiri. s of Pennsylvania would bo destroyed by a reduced tariff has been con I radh-U'ii by their present urn xamplcd prosperity. Fourth. We invite the attention of tin wage earners to the fact that the present voluntary increase of wages of those em ployed in the inanufneniring industries, amounting to not less than was absolutely unknown • under the MeKinlcy tariff ad. To prevent the reactionary b-cis lotion tlireatcHod b\ lite Repulilicau party of Pennsylvania in their recent State ; on Volition, which would again depress iuisi ness by destroying faith in the stability of present conditions, we invite our fellow countrymen throughout the land, irrespi e tive of party, to so act together as to in sure, by the election of a Democratic Presl dent in I.SOU, the maintenance of the present prosperity. Fifth. We especially reaffirm so much of the platform of the last Democratic National Convention as calls for the use of both gold and silver as the standard money of tho country; hut the dollar unit of coinage of both metals must be of equal intrinsic and exchangeable value, or lie adjusted by inter national agreement, or by sueli safeguard* of legislation as shall insure the uiaiuteiiaice of the parity of the two metal* and the equal power of every dollar at all times in the payment of debts. We believe that such parity could not be maintained by the free coinage of silver at the ratio of It! to 1. and we are, therefore, opposed to any legis lation looking to that end. Sixth. We arraign and condemn the pres ent administration, both in the executive and legislative branches of the government, for its refusal to reapportion tlm State, in accordance with the mandates of the <vu stitutiou; for its proffignte waste of public money: for it* creation of private awards and useless public offices; for its degradation of the public service in factional contests; for its unnecessary increase of official sala ries in the detriment of many deserving charities of the State; for its legislation fa \ornhlc to the interests of corporations and monopolies. Seventh. We challenge comparison be tween this Suite administration, which ha* been so faithless to its pledges, and the wise, economical and honest administration of Robert E. Paulson, which in tlte stainless purity of Its record silenced partisan malig nity and Justly merited and received the almost universal approbation of the people of litis Common wen it It. Eighth. We especially invite tlte sober consideration of the people of this Slate to tlie remarkable factional struggle in the !•• publican party, a struggle which invohed no principle or public policy, but simply the supremacy of contending factional leaders. The worst arraignment at our hands of Re publican misrule falls short of what repre sentative Republican newspaper* and lead ers testified of each other. The admitted prostitution of the public service, the invo lution of corporate influences, tlte misuse of Judicial appointment* and consequent prostitution <-f the Judiciary, the corrupt u*e of money in the purchase uf delegates, the attempted terrorism at llnrri bin _ by men of the most abandoned typo, ti\ tlm high water mark of political debauchery. It hut needed to complete it* infamy the transparent hypocrisy which led a inven tion, tints constituted, to adopt "with laugh ter" resolutions condemning the very meth od* by which its delegates had been selected. Such condemnation of "The growing use of money in polities; the corporate control of tlie Legislature, municipal Councils, politi cal primaries ami elections; the enslave ment of public officers ami employes; favor itism in granting contracts and the granting of exclusive franchises in public necessi ties." while valuable as evidencing tlm truth of the accusations of the Democratic parly in the last quarter of a century, yei coming from tlm very source which is responsible for lliese evils, constitutes tlm crowning in sult lo the intelligence of a forbearing and long-sutiering people. A very large meteor which fell from the heavens some weeks ago near Gulf Summit is causing a queer legal mud dle. The meteor fell on the land of Farmer Swackhammcr, almost on the boundary line between New York and Pennsylvania. The exact location of th• state line has for many years been a matter of dispute, and the matter has been brought to a focus by the fail ing'of this meterir. Not only has the state line been in dispute, but the dividing line between Swuekhamnmr and Farmer Littlejohn's lands, de pendent upon the state line, has never been located. Falling in the disputed territory this meteor has brought about a legal battle, as both farmers claim it, while a third person claims it by right of discovery. Injunctions have been obtained by all three. Mean while sclenti have partly excavated the stone aiid ve endeavored to do- j termine Its ■> ,'n. The Problem of Economy. No subject is more interesting to the general public than the cost of living. The problem the majority are trying to solve is how to save money and make the best possible appearance. Usually it is discovered that the bank account increases as tlio family curtails its wants. The length of the bank ac count is in proportion to the increase of the things not bought. Once in awhile, writes a philosopher In Outing, when patience is exhausted, because even going without does not bring the de sired results, one is tempted to accept j that fallacious definition of economy: "Economy is going without something , you do want, in case 3*oll should some ■ day want something you will not ! want." Eeonom3* is the promise of the ; future, the despair of the present, with most of us. We act on the same prin ciple that governs us in the treatment of our favorite sins; we are waiting for the miracle of accumulated strength to overcome them. We would scale mountains without walking in the mo notonous road that leads to them. After all, what is econ 01113* but pro portion? To refuse to spend what is legitimate, in order to secure future wealth, is putting a heavy mortgage on life with the prospect of very uncer tain returns. To spend regardless of the , future is to ignore an investment that > makes a sure return. The courageous arc those who live in harmony with an educated conscience. These build on a sure foundation. They arc the only true, the only wise, as well as the only courageous people. May their num bers increase. Conventional Standards. It has been quite a feature of the last summer season that a number of brave rescues have been made, not only b t v men, but also b3* women and cliil- i dren. These results show perceptibly and eloquently the changing of the conventional standards. Till of com paratively recent years self-reliance j and courage were looked on as exclu sively xnasuline virtues, and the wom anly character was considered as more strikingly in relief when displaying ut ter dependence and inability to face or fight danger. Now, owing to the phys ical and mental training of women, the new ideas that none of her natural re sources are to be stilled, but rather to be developed, have obtained sway, and with their ascendency lias come the downfall of the theory that a woman who has nerve and coolness enough to help herself and aid others in case of danger is unsexed thereby. Graceful faints are no longer characteristic of the woman of to-day. She may have lost some of her angelic air, but the atmosphere of sturdy common sense which has taken its place is much more refreshing for the public and infinitely safer for herself. A PROMINENT Ghicago physician, Dr. F. \V. Reilly, pathologist, bacte riologist, meteorologist, arclueologist, and erstwhile editor, says that the common practice of kissing is "vicious, intolerable, barbaric and vile. This question of kissing has been a hobby with mo for some time, and I have studied its results. I knew a con sumptive preacher down in Nokomis who made a practice of kissing his flock after service every Sunday. The mortality in the village increased twenty-two per cent, iu one year, and when I left there half tiie members of the congregation were leaning against fences for support. The germs were in the contribution boxes, in the liymn book racks and all about the pulpit." Let those who are given to promiscuous osculation pause and reflect upon the dangers attending the pleasant prac tice. NEARLY all attempts to make convict labor profitable have failed, but Missis sippi, under peculiar conditions, seems to have succeeded. Last year the state abandoned the vicious plan of farming out the labor of convicts to contractors, and purchased a farm of ten thousand acres on which to raise cotton. Nearly all of tlte convicts are field hands —vir- tualh* expert workmen—and it is re ported that the managers of the farm j have turned 11 fty thousand dollars over to the state treasury, representing the profit made after paying all expenses. This represents five dollars an acre, a good return on the investment. Another •farm w ill probably bo pur chased, that work may be provided for all the convicts. There appears to be no objection from free laborers to this use of the convicts, but there are very few states that could successfully fol low Mississippi's example. IN Montana the penalty for attempt ing burglary at night is seven years in the penitentiary, while an attempt to commit the same offense during the day is onl3* a year in the county jail. According to law also the day is bo- j tween sunrise and sunset. A man was | tried the other day in Rut,to for at tempted burglary in the night, but his j attorney established the fact that the crime was committed at 5:10 in the morning of August 5. The almanac showed that the sun rose at 4:50 a. in. 011 that day, and this cnublcdthe ac- j cused to get off with nine months in jail. CALIFORNIA fruit has found a clam orous market in London. The keeping qualities of the fruit having stood the test satisfactorily, there is every reason \o expect that the trade begun in an . experimental May will rapidly assume j commercial importance with the com ing of another season.

TIIE flowers of some sensitive plants l are as sensitive as the leaves. I EVERY saint in the calendar is said to be provided with a floral emblem. No PLANT will produce flowers un less there is iron in the soil in which it grows. EVERY ancient hero and god had a flower specially consecrated to his honor. J THE Venus fly trap produces juice that to nearly all insects is a deadly ; poison. THE marigold goes to sleep with the | sun and remains quiescent until sun ; rise. THE saffron is valuable as a dye. Jt grows wild in many parts of south I Europe. IN all mythology and folklore white • flowers are supposed to spring from | tears. A FLOWERING plant is said to abstract from the soil two hundred times its own weight of water. TIIE coral flowers, so called, arc ani mals. A eoral reef resembles a bed of I anemones. SOME plants, as the peach tree, send forth their flowers before the leaves j have started. DOUBLE flowers are generally the ro sult of cultivation and always an abnormal growth. THE rose among the Romans was the emblem of secrecy, hence the phrase | sub rosa. j IN all mountainous countries flowers are found growing up to the lino of j perpetual snow. Tin; catalogues and floral dictionaries give the names of seven hundred and j fifty kinds of roses. MIXED. AN epidemic broke out among the silk worms of Spain during the middle of this century, which for a time i threatened to destroy the entire Euro | pean silk culture. I KIOSKS are to be erected in the pub lie squares of Copenhagen containing public telephones, conveniences for writing and an oliice for receiving let ters. besides tlie usual newspaper and ; bootblack stands. j IT is a significant fact that emergen cy hospitals in New York add their tes timony as to the benefit of Sunday clos ing. Sunday, instead of being the busiest day, is now the quietest. A SHARK recently washed ashoro at Mid la n, li. 0., had two distinct tails, throe perfect eyes, and what appeared to ho the rudiment of a fin or flipper hanging to the under jaw. A WRITER in the Fortnightly points out that divorce is more common among the Turks than in the United States, and that when a Turkish wife is di vorced her husband has to restore i every piaster of her dowry. SOLDIERS. IT is proposed in England to build warships in docks instead of on slips, and thereby reduce the expense and 1 danger of launching. AN Austrian mountain battery divi sion recently managed to get two bat teries, guns, horses und full equipment, from tiie Zillerthal in Tyrol to the top , of tlio i'fister Joch, which is seven thousand three hundred feet high. EVERY soldier knows that a horse will not step on a man intentionally. It is a standing order in the British eavalryif a trooper becomes dismounted ho must lie still. If he does this tho whole squadron will pass over him without doing him injury. I)E VBTIONS from the French foreign legion have, it is said, been numerous of late, owing to the rigid discipline of the corps. A list of absentees has been published in some of the newspapers, ami it includes the name of one British subject, an Irishman, among the others, which are principally those of German or Swiss. CHURCHES. THE Adonai Sliomo has one organiza tion and 20 members. Their place of worship is valued at SO,OOO. THE Seventh-day Baptists have 100 societies and 0,123 members, with church property valued at $204,010. THE Church of God has 479 organiza tions and 22,511 members. It claims 288 church buildings, valued at $013,- 185. THE Cumberland Presbyterian church claims a membership of 101,940, and has church property valued at $3,515,- 511. THE Colored Methodist Episcopal church lias a working force of 129,383. They own church property valued at $1,713,300. THE Univcrsalists claim 050 societies, 832 churches and a membership of 49,- 194. Their church property is valued at $8,054,888. Realizing on ASKCIS.
