It was expected since the advent of Cleveland Demncracr not Jefftrsonian or "ante- ' bellum" by any meanst-that 3ome new id living issues woud be ingrafted into the party. As aatter of course, nothing is mentioned bout tbe sover eignty of the state, for that went down never to rise agart with the so called Southern Conf.&,acy. But on tBoTaritt question fneyWaA verymuch like all other Democratic platforms adopted for many years past. The Ohio plank is a little the stronger of the two, and "demtnds a thorough and jast revision of tie tar id laws." Te Pennsylvania resolutions is mod erate and puts it if. this language: "We favor a just and fair revision of tbe revenue laws in accordance with the letter and spirit o the declaration of Democratic principles, and in such revision care should ba taken that such changes shall be maoe in a spirit of fairness to all interest"), without de priving the Americaa laborer of the ability to successfol'y compete with foreign labbr, or without imposing lower rates of duty thin will be ample to cover any increa4 cost of product ion which may,exU:onSpquence of a higher rate ofHges prevailing in this country." iWrcason of the dif ference can be eas'y understood when it in cosidered that Horrizontal Reduc tion Morrison engineered the former convention and Straight-out Protect ion Randall the latter. These reso lutions amount to hut little, for in the last two'congresses the attempts made to revise the tariff have been utter failures, and they hive, met untimely deaths at the hands of Democratic con gressman If the Democratic party meanswhat it feays fc this qustion, why doseu't it do sornethngj Ithadihad a working majority in corgress for-a number of sessions last, aad'haA had everOppofWT3iyTaViJ0rl in the matter it) desires. The most shameful act of the Ohij convention, was a full endorsement of Senator Payne's course and the action of the Republican senate in paying no attention to the serious charges made about the manner qf his election. We should think the Democratic party de sires to retain the support of the hon est men in its rankfil it could do no lesa than favor a fair investigation of tbe charges of fraud and speculation laid at the feet of Seator P lyne. But it has not done so, and we shall patiently wait and sea whether the people will endorse this at the ballet-box. The issne is fairly joined with the president on the gold and silver ques tion, for the Ohio Democrat demand that both fcold and silver shall be the basis of our money system. Mr Cleve land lias plainly stated in his message and elsewhere, that gold is the only representative of value. Hbweter Mrong this principle may be imbedded in the. Democracy, that party has never felt sufficiently sanguine in the matter to take congresional action in favor of the silver bill. Tbis may be, as it un doubtedly in, a sugared bib to please the taste of the ordinary voter. And in this, Ohio Democrats follow the beaten track of their old leaders. Tbe party is about the same as ever it wriggles as much and has tbe same av-' enion to the principles and the same attractions to cg'cffiftB. TTimea Mountaineer. In his recent address to Union col lpqe students, Senator Warner Miller of New York uttered words that every younj man should ponder over. He said: "You are to take a position in one or the other of the great political par ties into which the body polity "divi ded. If at at any time you find your party controlled by disreputable meth' ods and with corrupt men in its man agement, do not abandon it by going over to the opposition. Yon cannot do it without be A untrue to the prin ciples you haveKioused. But rather exert all your elegies to correct the methods and drive into obscurity the corrupt leaders Words of gold. Do men satisfy principle by joining the enemy in disgust lecausehey are dis satisfied with tbf acts of those who have obtained cv Irol of the policy of a party! Did SMohn do right profess ing prohibition, j it in the hope of of fice, joined thd who were eworn enPmies of the cause he pretended tn I defend So did Arnold, the traitor, , for hopo of renloneratioa betray his ' ccuntry. Popular Superstions- Dream of eggs, sign of money. Dream of snakes, sign of enemies. If you sing before breakfast you'll cry before tapper. Dreaming of muddy or rushinij water brings trouble. , Finding a horse shoe or a four leav ed clover brings good luck. tj If you cut your nails or sneeze on Saturday you dc it "for evil." She who takes the. last stitch at a quiltingjvill bt tbe jirst to marry, . If yon cannotlnaka a handsome bed your husband (will have a homely nose. If you spill the salt some one will b "mad" with you unless you put some in the fire. Stub your right toe, you are going where you are wanted; your left where you are not wanted. If the rooster crows on the fence the weather will be fair; if on the door step, he will bring company. If the first Sunday in the month is unpleasant, there, will be but one pleasant Sunday during the month. If by any chance a mourning hat or bonnet is placed on vour head yon will need one of your own soon. If your right ear burns some one is praising you, if your left, vour friends are raking you over the coals. Returning to the house for a mom ent after having once started out will bring iad luck unless you sit down. When, in dropping a fork, it strikes the floor and stands upright it will bring a gentleman visitor; if a knife a lady. While at the washboard, if the suds splash and wet the clothes you are wearing, yon will have a drunken husband. If you drop your dish cloth you will have company; also if you sweep a black mark; or if two chairs stand ac cidently back to back. If a baby sees. his. face in the glass f&T-UHjtliO- derAh of -him. If Lis nails are cut he will he a thief. If he tumbles out of bed it will save his be ing a fool. Breaking a mirror, sign of death. Death is also foretold by a dog howling under a window; hearing a mourning dove, a strange dove hovering about, or dreaming of a white horse. If you see the new moon through the glass you will have sorrow while it lasts. If you see it fair in the face you 'II have a fall. Over the left shoulder, bad luck, over the right, good luck Cleveland Plaindealer. Congressmen- and Their Salaries. When a member dies his pay ceases on tbe day of his death. The salary of the sucessor commences the day after the decease of the former member, though the election may not occur for several months. The new member, in other words, draws pay for time be never serves. A member is allowed 20 cents mileage each way, 40 cents a mile one way, and he can check for the full amount of both trips whenhe takes his seat. He is allowed 8125 a year for statonairy. The most of his sum is pocketed. Tbe members draw their money in different ways. There are probably twenty of the present House who let their saleries run into nest eggs. There are a couple of dozen members who.always overdraw, or rather, bor row from the head of the bank. Tliey borrow or jet in advance sums rangin from $10 to $300, and at the end ot the month they have nothing. The great majority of the members draw all that is coming co them at the end of each month, particularly those who have their families with them. Some of them never see an outside bank, but let their monthly salaries remain, and draw it out in small sums. Others take out their salaries and place them in both banks. But this is not done as formerly. A number of men got caught in the Middleton bank that broke some time a"o. Most of the members do all their financial business over the counter of the Congressional bank, and sora oe ihem pile checks as high as 860,000 in a single sessiou. Among the items stricken from the deficiency is the Senate provision for payment of Government transporta tion on Pacific railroads. The Oregon Transcontinental Com pany has settled with Villard. But no amount is stated in tbe telegraphic re purts, but it is considerable. A pocket sewing machine is the latest novelty. The State Fair. Capt. J. T. Apperson, president of the State board of the Agricultural so cietywas in tbe city yesterday, says a Salem paper and it is learned that the . management intended to make the coming state fair tbe most attractive exhibition of agriculture and horticul tural products, machinery, manufac tures, cased goods, horse flesh, cattle sheep and all kinds of live etock, that was ever held here. The speeU pro gramme.iajq facu.hi.id f any thins ever before offered that, it itsrif will prove a grand attraction. Every in ducement that can ba suggested will be offered to farmers to make exhibits of all manner of farm produce, etock, etc, Nor are tbe ladies to bo forgot ton. It is to be hoped that the ladies will make an exhibit of both decorative art, and of painting, sketching, fancy work, "every thing in their line." There will be seme of the woik of the best artists rf the state on exhibition and the pavilion will certainly be more attractive than eyer befire. Salem's merchants wtll be requested to make large exhibits of shelf goods, and so will all merchants in the state. Every body in the state is interested in the state fair and every body should try to exhibit some thing. The "diploma" racket is thrown in the shade by tbe cash prizes to be offered. Let the state fair be successful. The state of Georgia has a law for the enforcement of agricultural labor, contracts under which a man who hires out to a farmer and, for any reason, quits his employer's service before the expiration of the time for which he hired may be bounded from one end ot the state to the other, as used to be tbo practice with fugitive slaves. Any other person who employs him or even give him food or shelter ia liable to an action for damages. The state also has a vagrant law which authorizes the courts to sentenr to the chain- gang mea""f3uacTB!bo'U" any vUiOlc means of support, though they may be willing to work if able to find em ploj ment. Most of the southern states have similar laws. While they were doubtless adopted with reference to the negro population they are equally in force against white laborers. It is sometimes alleged that the Democratic party is the parly more friendly to the laboring men. But the states whose statute books contain 'theso despotic and brutal enactments are all states solid for the Democratic party. Their laws are distinctly made for the advan tage of the land owners and the jnen of property, and to establish a condi tion serfdom over the class that de pends upon manual labor for liveli hood. The New York Tribune in an edi torial upon the life of Samuel J. Til den concludes with the followiug: "To-day finds his countrymen reflect ing only upon the great good that was in the man and sincerely sorrowing at the loss of so much sterling worth. That his death is a mori f erious ca lamity to the political organizations to whose fortunes he was so passionately devoted is evident. There seems to be no one to take his place. Horatio Seymour that other favorite son of Democracy who preceeded him but a little into the silent land was a wise counsellor and an always inspiring presence, but be lacked that combina tion of qualities which made the sage of Greystone such a political force Seymour was a statesman, but not a politician. Tilden was both. He un derstood how to organize and conduct a canvass on the most skilful lines while at the same time he was an ac complished sudent of the underlying princip'es of government; he was equal ly at home in practical and philosophi cal politics- A Philadelphia tourist at present visiting here remarked to a reporter this afternoon tha't he was surprised to learn of the enormous rate of in terest borrowers were paying in Ore gon. He says that upon reaching home he will confer withsome friends having millions going begging at 4 per cent, per annum ar.d see if he cannot in duce tbem to throw a million or a million and a half on this market at 7 percent per j ear of gilt edge paper and approved Jreal estate and farrr prop erty, the lender paying taxes. Tbe gentleman referred to is one of the substantial kind, who does not talk merely for the sake of hearing the mel ody of his voice. Portland T-'s:ram. Kindness of Animals. -a Every one hould know that kindly treated animals will do their best for their owner. A curious case happen ed recently, which'may be given as an example, A noted trotter was driven in a race by a strange driver. The horse was evidently dissatisfied and lost two heats. Tbe old driver knew the horse could do better, and begged the owner to be permitted to drive him. His entreaties prevailed, and when he mounted the sulky jtheabsd whinnied with pleasure, and won" tho next three heats with ease, making such a record that the owner had an offer of fifteen thousand dollars for the animal. It is always thus. A farm horse kindly treated will do more work thou one which is not attached to tho owner or driver. A cow will lose milk when attended to by a strange or disa greeable person, and one that is petted and treated ith gentleness will never exhibit the common fractiousness of kicking or holding upjthe milk. This is true of all farm animals, who re turn kindness with affection and gener osity, and abundantly repay the con sideration shown them by their owners. Every boy, cpecially every farmer's boy, should early learn to treat all ani nials with kindness. American Far mer. The postmaster general has issued a circular of information and instruction to postmas'ers concerning and prepar atory to putting into practice October 1 the act of August 4, 1886. author izing the extension of the special deliv ery system to all postoffice and to all mailable matters. The circular qrovi- des ihat every postrffice in the United States and territories and the District of Columbia now established, while tho foregoing act remains, is hereby desig nated as a special delivery office. These regulations take effect October 1, IbHo, alter which date every postmater will beheld responsible for tbe inime Jiy. deUswtt of any saHlole of TnSn" able matter which may be received ad dressed to his office properly stamped with a special delivery stamp. Such immediate delivery must be made when the article is directed to an addressee residing or having a place of business within one mile of the postoffice. The circular is a long one, and fully ex plains the detail of the new system. Every complaint of failure to comply with the provisions of the act will bo investigated, and violators mads to suffer the consequences. Chinese smuggling in New York city from British Columbia, via tbe port of Victoria, is now carried on by a Chinese grocer, named Yu Sing. He goes so far as to declare that money is paid to the Custom-house officers to have their papers declared all right. A majority ot the new arrivals repre sent themselves as tea, silk or rice merchants. Nino out of ten are laundry-men. Money to start laun dries is advanced them by the grocery brtns, and a high rate of interest is charged, not unfrequently a hundred per cent being extorted- Inducements are held out to Chinamen that if they will come they can have their own laundry within one year. This has had the effect of increasing the arrivals and at tbe lowest estimate. 1,000 Chihameu have been smuggled into new York since the passage of tha Restricton Act, who belonged to tha prohibiton class. Thev are mostly lo cated in the Sixth Ward, which is known as the Chinese quarter. A Snake in a Melon. Ihe Santa Monica Wave is responsible for tha following snake story: "A water Melon weighing thirtv-two pounds, lusciously ripe, was takpn from a garden and conveyed to the home of a private family, and a few friends were invited to partake of the fruit. So mellow and ripe, it fell apart at tho first penetration of the knife, as thero was a small hole in the end of the "berry." As it showed its luscious sides on the table, a large rattlesnake raised its head from the center, and, seeing so mnch company, coiled itself for a fight. There was a general stam pede in all direction", and bis snakesbip craw'edont of hishidding place upon the table. He was afterward dispatched, but a more terrified company never as sembled.
