Cleveland, his will strengthen it The plat the party is bread and liberal, one on which the Democracy of the country can stand united and har juonious. It reaffirms the platform of .1884, and endorsea President Cleveland's message. The following is THE PLATFOBM. Democratic party of the United in National Convention assembled, the pledge of its fidelity to the faith and reaffirms the plat adopted by its representatives in Invention of 1884, and endorses the by President Cleveland earnest message to Congress as interpretation of that platform the question of tariff reduction, and the efforts of our Demo i representati ves in Congress to secure iction of the excessive taxation, its principles of party faith are jtenanceofan indissoluble Union and indestructible States, now to enter upon its second century inexampled progress and renown to the plan of government by the written Constitution, Jj specifying every granted power expressly reserving to the Staves or people the entire ungranted residue the encouragement of jealous vigilance directed to all who chosen for brief terms to enact the laws and are charged the duty of preserving the peace, equality and establish jog justice, democratic party welcomes an pg scrutiny of the administration fiutive power which four years committed to its trust in the election of Grover Cleveland as President of the United States, but it challenges the searching inquiry concerning its 5 fidelity and devotion to the pledges then involved the suffrages of the During the most critical period financial affairs, reenlting from the anomalous condition our currency and a public debt unmatured, it has, by the adoption of a vise and conservative course, not only averted disaster, but greatly promoted the rprosperity of our people. It has reversed the improvident and jriae policy of the Republican party ig the public domain, and has from corporations and Byndi alieu and end restored to people, nearly one hundred million of land, to be sacredly held as rhomesteads for our citizens.

While carefully guarding all interests And the principles of justice and equity, it has paid out more for pensions and bounties to the soldiers and sailors of the republic than was ever paid before during jtn ecjual period. t- Jt unadopted and consistently pursued a firm prudent foreign policy, pre? serving peace with all nations, while fcrupulously maintaining all rights and interests of our own government and people at home and abroad. The exclusion from our shores of Chi puaese laborers has been effectuallysecared ander the provisions of a treaty, the operation of which has been postponed 6y the action of the Republican majority I in tbe Seaaie. branch and department of government under Democratic control "lie rights and welfare of all the people have been guarded and defended; every Sublio interest has been protected, and le equality of all our citizens before the law, without regard to race or color, has been steadfastly maintained. Upon its record, thus and upon the pledge of a continuance to the people of I these benefits, the Democracy invokes a renewal ot the popular trust by the re? election of the chief magistrate who has been faithful, able and prudent It Invokes, in addition to that trust, the transfer also to the Democracy of the entire legislative power.

The Republican party, controlling the Senate and resisting in both houses of Congress the reformation of unjuBt and unequal tax laws, which have outlasted the necessities of the war and are now undermining the abundance of a long peace, deny to the people equality before the law and the fairness and the justice which are their right. The cry of labor for a better share in the rewards of industry is stifled with false pretenses; enterprise is fettered and bound down to home markets; capital is discouraged with doubt; and the unequal, unjust laws can neither be properly I amended nor repealed. The Democratic party will continue, with all the power confided to it, to struggle to reform these laws in accordance with the pledges of its I last platform, endorsed at the ballot-box by the suffrages of the people. Of all the industrious freemen of our land, an immense majority, including every tiller of the soil, gain no advantage from the excessive tax laws, but the price of nearly I everything they buy is increased by the I favoritism of an unequal system of tax I legislation. AH unnecessary taxation is unjust I taxation.

It is repugnant to the creed of the Democracy that by such taxation the cost of the necessaries of life should I be unjustifiably increased to all our peo? ple. Judged by Democratic principles, I the interests of people are betrayed when, by unnecessary taxaation, traits and I combinations are permitted to exist, I which, while unduly enriching the few I that combine, are robbing our citizens I by depriving them of the benefits of I natural competition. Every Dei-' atic rule of goveromen I tal action it violated when, through I unnecessary tuition, a vast sum of mon I ey, far beyond the needs of an economi I cal administration, is drawn from the I people and channels of trade and accu I mulated, as a demoralizing surplus in the national treasury. The money now I lying idle in the Federal treasury, result I ingfrom superfluous taxation, amounts to I more than one hundred and twenty-five millions, and the surplus collected is I reaching the sum of more than $60,000, 000 annually. Debauched by this immense tsmpta I tion, the remedy of the Republican party is to meet and exhaust, by extravagant and expenses, whether I constitutional or not, the accumulation of I extravagant taxation.

The Democratic policy ja to enforce frugality in public I expense and abolish unnecessary taxa? tion. Our established domestic industries I and enterprises should not and need not I be endangered by a reduction and cor? rection of the burdens of taxation. On I the contrary, a fair and careful revision of our tax laws, with due allowance for I difference between wages of American and foreign labor, must promote and I encourage every branch of such industries I and enterprises by giving them assuran? ces of an extended market and steady and continuous operations. In the interests I of American labor, which should in no I event be neglected, the re vis on of our I tax laws contemplated by the Democratic I party should promote the advantage of I such labor, by cheapening the cost of the necessaries of life in the home of every workingman and at the same time eecur I ing to him steady remunerative employ ment. On this question of tariff reform, so connecting every phase of our I national life, and upon every question I involved in the problem of good govern I ment, the Democratic party submits its principles and profession to the intelli I gent suffrages of the American people.

I Death by the Spark. I Albany, N. June Sill to-day signed the bill abolishing I hanging for all murders committed after I January 1, 1889, and substituting death I by electricity therefor. The bill consists of elaborate and care fully drawn amendments to the Code of I Criminal Procedure, providing that the prisoner sentenced to death shall be im mediately conveyed by the Sheriff to one of the State prisons, and there kept in I solitary confinement until the day of execution, to be visited only by officers or by bis relatives, physician, clergyman I or counsel. The court imposing sentence shall name merely the week within which the execution is to take place, the par tic I alar day within such week being left to the discretion of the principal officer of I the prison.

The execution is required to be practically private, only officials, clergymen, physicians and a limited 1 number of citizens being allowed to be I present. After the execution funeral I services may be held within the prison walls and the body shall be delivered into i the custody of relatives if requested, otherwise it shall be decently interred; within the prison ground. This bill is the outcome of a recom I mendation contained in the first annual message of Governor Hill to the Legisla? tors io 1885, being as follows: "The present mode of executing crimi? nals by hanging has come down to us from the Dark Ages, and it may well be I questioned whether the science of the present dsy can not provide a means for taking the life of such as are condemned to die in a less barbarous manner. I I commend this suggestion to the consid oration of the Legislature." The attention of scientific men was at I tracted to the subject by this message, and in 1886 the Gerry Comraieaion was appointed by the Legislature to investi I gate and report the most humane and I practical method of carrying into effect the sentence of death in capital cases. This bill is substantially in accordance with the recommendation of such com? I mission to the Legislature of the present year.

The new Jaw does not take effect until January 1, 1889, and applies only to crimes committed on or after that date. Io Chicago, on Friday last, white a Mr. Murray, a young and fashionably dressed man, was leaning upon the show case of a cigar store in Adams Express building intently engaged in writing a note, he was approached from behind by Mr. Jas. Bell, who quickly cut off a large portion of one of his ears.

Mr. Bell, it seems, retired in good order with the piece of ear in his grasp, while Mr. Mur? ray, the victim, quickly thrust the cote that he had been writing into bis pocket, and also departed. Subsequently I several messengers were dispatched to Mr. Bell by Murray's physician, with the request for the immediate return of the segment of ear belonging to his patient in order that it might be replaced and induced to reunite itself with the disfig? ured member.

Mr. Bell, however, was obdurate, and instead of acceding to the request cut the ear up into small bits and threw the pieces away. The charge I against Murray is that he bad paid im? proper addresses to Mrs. Bell. Murray's friends are unanimous in defending bis character, and condemn Bell's action.

Dr. A. G. Haygood, in bis address delivered last week at Claflin University, Oraogeburg, said the negroes, who bad been free far only twenty-three years, bad made most wonderful progress in educa? tion. Waen freed there were upwards of five million of them, all without educa? tion.

To-day more than two million of them could read, and fifteen thousand of them were engaged in teaching. They are going forward faster than any people similarly situated in the annals of history. We fear they are doing more in this (direction than our own people. These are things our people should think about. The race question is going to be a big question for our statesmen before many more years, anyhow.

We are glad to note their progress in this direction, and only hope that it will stimulate the white people to greater exertion in this direc? tion for their own race. The educated men of mind, intelligent men? are the men who rule in all Ncvobcrry News and JJeraty. CRIMES AN? CASUALTIES. Columbia, S. 0., Jone Lo? gan, a negro fireman, employed on a train coming ot this city, this evening met his death in an unosual manner.

The en? gine was backing, and he was walking on I trestle sanding the track, to prevent slipping. The engineer opened the throttle, when the driving wheels began revolving rapidly. The connecting rod Strock Logan on the head, fractoring the skull and killing him instantly. No blame is attached to the engineer. Logan was the man who, about a year ago butt? ed to death another negro with whom he quarrelled.

Vabnvillb, S. 0., June day while Reuben Riley, colored, at Amenda, two miles below here, was load? ing his gun, which was a musket with an iron ran. od, while he held the gun in a leaning position ramming down the powder, it was discharged, Bending the ramrod through the right breast of his wife and pinning her to the wall of the house. It seemB that she standing near the wall and the ramrod had to be filed in two before she could be extricat? ed. Dr.

Vincent, of this place, was promptly summoned and dressed the wound. He says while it is a painful wound he does not think it will be fatal. Cincinnati, June the train on the "Big four," due here at 11 o'clock, was passing Delhi, eight miles from this city, a gang of thieves attempted to board the train. In doing bo the engineer knocked one down with a monkey wrench. He was carried off by his The squad which attempted to enter the baggage car had a fight with the baggage master and killed him.

The police nave gone to the scene on a special car. The engineer's name is Ed Boyd, and the conductor's William Leffell. The dead man is Josh McOann. Atlanta, June the union passenger depot, upon the arrival of the Western and Atlantic train, among the passengers to alight were Dr. R.

A. Holliday and his wife. Mrs. Holliday and her children had been on a visit to friends in Davenport, Iowa. Two weeks ago Dr.

Holliday received a telegram from his wife telling him of the serious illness of his little boy. Robbie. Last Friday week the doctor left Atlanta for the bed? side of his child. Just after he reached Davenport the baby died. The body was put in the care of the express company, while the parents occupied berths in the sleeper on the same train.

The sleeper came through to Atlanta without change. The father was horrified upon going to the express car to find that the body of his child Was not there. The train offi? cials had seen nothing of it. Quickly the wires flashed the inquiry back along the line, "Where. is baby's body?" The answer came, "We cannot locate it." Telegram after telegram was sect no better result than the first.

Waterloo, Iowa. June has just been received here of a terrible tragedy which occurred in Hazle Green township, seventeen miles from Monti cello last Monday. An old man named Rothbacker who was working in a stone quarry, undertook, to whip bis boy, a lad of twelve, but was prevented by by a fel? low-workman. In the evening the old man again tried to whip the boy, when he attempted to run. The father gave chase, and having captured him knocked him down and cut bis bead off with an ax.

Up to last night old man was still at large. An at mpt will be made to lynch him when captured. Birmingham, June last Thursday night Patrolman James H. Gee, of the police force, has not reported for duty. Nothing was thought of his failure to report at roll call, bot this morning his dead and partly decomposed body was found lying in a thick wood on the Bide of Red mountain, two miles south of the city.

He bad been shot through the heart and evidently did the shooting himself, as his pistol was lying under his right band with one chamber discharged. He wore his full uniform and badge, and his money and watch had not been dis? turbed. Fragments of a letter were found near the body, and they gave a clue to a love affair, which is supposed to have caused the suicide. Wabe, June Albert W. Edmunds, a beautiful woman of twenty-four and married but a year, asked her husband this morning to accompany her to church.

He declined and in an instant she Eaid goodbye, then before he could prevent she placed the muzzle of a revolver to her breast and fired. The chances are tbat she will not recover: No one is able to assign any cause tor the act as the couple have always lived hap? pily together. Chicago. June dispatch from Ft. Takes saya severs' persons were killed in the great tempest yesterday, by lightning and flying debris.

Those so far identified are Shell King, the cele? brated Indian chief, and his son. A farmer living two miles sooth was found dead in his field. The building has been completely wrecked, and it is supposed the man had been carried to tbe point where found by tbe wind. Mattus Dam broski, a girl of thirteen, living at tbe settlement six miles south, has not been seen since the storm struck that point, and it is beiived she was blown into the river and drowned. The loss among the In? dians is severe, as hundreds of them had everything they had swept away by tbe winds.

Dallas, Texas, June singular sinking of the earth's surface has sudden? ly developed in the vicinity of the Turtle Creek pump house, and is giving rise to considerable speculation respecting its cause and its possible effect on the reser? voir now in course of construction. Em? ployees of tbe pump bouse last Monday noticed the earth was giving within about thirty feet of the western wall of the reservoir. Since then the fracture has been defining itself more clearly, and yesterday evening it presented the appearance of a yawning chasm one thousand feet long, forty feet wide, and four feet deep. A loud explosion was heard all over the city Monday night, which, it is thought, may have some connection with the phenomenon. The Presidential Succession.

It cow looks as if Judge Thurman will be the next Vice-president of the United States. He will be'76 years old when he enters the office and .80 if he lives to the end of his term. He will be the first Vice President elected under the Presidential succession law passed by Congress two years ago. By that law the succession is better provided for than ever before. Tbe Sreceeding statute dated back to 1792.

provides that in case of the death of both President and Vice President, tbe President of tbe Senate, or if there should be nonp, the Speaker of the House, should act as President. It further requires a special election tg be held in such emergency for tbe choice of another President and Vice President. Under tbe law, the country was expos? ed to the evils of a special election. The Admiostratiop might pass from ooe political party to another against the will of the people; for example, a Democratic President might die, and a Republican President of the Senate or Speaker of the House become President. But the most serious defect in it was tbat it migbt leave the country without a designated successor to tbe Presidency.

This occurred when President Garfield died and again when Vice President Hendricks died. These evils are not possible uoder the present system. The socceesion is now, in cose of tbe removal, death, resignation or inability of both the President and Vice President, vested in the members of the Cabinet in tbe following order: Secretary of State, secretary of the treasury, secretary of war, attorney gen? eral, postmaster general, secretary of tbe navy, secretary of the interior. In case the duties of the office devolve upon any member of tbe Cabinet he to act as President until-the disability is removed or a pew President is regularly elected. There is to be no special election.

A foreign born secretary is barred from the succession, which, in such event would pass to the next in line. By this law the country is amply guarded against grave emergencies which were more than once threatened before its enactment. A Grafted Eye. The man who bad a rabbit's eye put in bis head by Dr. J.

J. Chisolm at the Presbyterian Eye, Ear and Throat Hos Sital, East Baltimore street, on Wednes ay, is doing well. In about a week he will be able to remove the bandage; possibly Dr. Chisolm may do so by Tuesday. Then he will have to remain at the hospital a week or ten days longer, to get his eyes used to the light gradually.

He was blind in both eyes. Only the left eye has been operated on. If the operation succeeds, Dr. Ohisolm may insert another rabbit's eye in the right one. The man expresses perfect faith in the skill of Dr.

Chisolm. He said yesterday: "Yes, it will be a miracle to give me Bight; but Dr. Chisolm expects to do it, through the aid of Christ and his instruments." He is a colored man, and a good, healthy subject. Three years ago, the 18th of this month, his eyes were Eut out while white-washing a ware ouse on Commerce street, by the bucket of whitewash falling and the lime splashing into his eyes. He says he has been a great sufferer during the past three years.

His eyes were made raw and sore by the lime, and the lids closed together. Several doctors attended him. and he suffered very much from several operations for opening his eyes by cutting the Hds apart. Finally, he was recom? mended to try Dr. Ohisolm.

He had afforded him much relief, and, finally decided to put in the rabbit's eye. He says the operation of transferring the animal's eye was not at all painful, as he was under the influeoce of cocoaine. He seemed to be in a good humor yesterday. It is expected that the cornea of the rabbit's eye will knit in the socket made by the iostiument. Dr.

Chisolm asked his patient how the eye felt. He replied: "It doesn't hurt at all: it only itches a Hi tie." "It is getting along nicely. I jhink it will be a very successful opera? tion," said Dr. Ohisolm. The instrument used is a marvelous one, and is regulated by clockwork.

Dr. Ohisolm was present when the successful operation some months ago in Philadelphia was accom? plished. A rabbit's eye was chosen for the purpose because its cornea more nearly 'resembles that of a human eye than that of any other animal. The nerves of sight in the man's eye are not destroyed; hence, it is possible to give sight by the In the matter of forgetfulness a New York man takes the cake. He ac? companied the corpse of his wife on a train, and when he arrived at his desti? nation he forgot all about the and went off on a trip to some other part of the country.

Hawkinsville, is remarkably proud of Miss Annie McOormick because she can play two tunes on the piano and sing a third, all at once. It is said that "she can sit with her back to the instru? ment and play most beautifully." The first rolling stock for the Carolina, Cumberland Gap and Chicago Bailroad is at the depot in Aiken. It is a hand car to be used in track-laying. There is also a water wheel which will be be utilized in making a water station near Grot's mill. The Dead Letter Office received 4,808,000 letters last year, for about a third of which owners were discovered.

Money to the value of $1,795,764 was found in 17,588 letters. These figures show the necessity of care in directing letters and seeing that they are stamped, as well as of indicating on the outside, by some means, who send them. A bill is to be introduced in the Louisiana Legislature prohibiting, under Senalty, the manufacture, sale or use of angerous weapons. A heavy special tax is to be placed on those now owned in the State, the proceeds to go to the public schools. A person convicted of carrying concealed weapons to be punished by imprisonment, A plant grows in Mixteca, Mexico, which the natives call the "herb of pro? phecy." A dose of it produces sleep similar in all respects to the hypnotic state.

Furthermore, he oses his will, and is completely under the control of another. On returning to himself he remembers nothing of what he has done. Dr.

Theodore Gay, who attended ex-Vice President Wheeler during his last illness, has presented a bill "as is a bill" to the estate. It amounts to about $14,800. The items are in part as follows: For attendance from April 1, 1885, to December 81, 1885, at $15 per day; for attendance from January 1, 1886, to December 31, 1886, at $20 per day: for attendance from January 1, 1887, to Jane 4, 1887, at $25 per day for keeping a horse two years, $3.50 per week, for use of carriage two years, $200. Mr. Wheeler's executor refused to pay the bill and the matter will go to the courts.
