THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. Henry Wattorson. editor of the Louisville t'oHi-ii r-Jioirniil, was in Chicago a few ilavs ago and in an interview with some uetvsptiper men said:

The Deinocntvic Ways and Means committee next winter v.ill formulate a bill placing all foreign merchandise which competes with American manufactures on the free list, thus admitting them without duty, and abolishiug every vestige nf protection: and that it. will reimpose revenue duties on sugar, coffee, ten. and other like products, as doing that would protect nothing. The Democratic House will pass such a liill without delay, but the Republican Senate will defeat it: or if by chance it goes through that body, the President will veto it.

Mr. Wattcrson is more frank and outspoken than most of the slippery politicians of his party in thus avi.wing it to be the purjose of the party to adopt the fr-e trade policy. The tariff that llr. Wnttsrson advocates is the verv kind of a tariff that English statesmen have been trying for half a century to induce ixs to adopt, with view of destroying our manufacturing industries and opening up a great market there for British goods, to be paid for with f-irui products in a glutted market. Hut, when the Democratic National Convention comes to formulate a platform for the next campaign, it will not be as honest in declaring its principles as Mr. SVa.terson is. *.

THE sitddeu death of .Tadge B. K. liigginbotha.il, of Frankfort, which occurred at Plainlield yesterday morning, removes one of the most brilliant members of the Indiana bar. He was a man of warai and generous impulses, and possessed all the native elements to have made his mark in the world. Unfor tunatelv, however, he was his own worst enemy. Strong drink became his master. He drank the dregs of the bitter cup and finally gave up his life in a bravo attempt to disenthrall himself from the accursed monster.

THE American Economist, in response to a circular letter has received replies from twenty odd establishments which are now, as well as before the first of January next, making tin plate in large quantities—one of the largest of them in Indiana, at El wood and yet the Democratic and free trade press continue to assert that we can never make tin plate in America.

THK Indianapolis AVir* in still c-n {••Igi-d in the unpatriotic work of trying .o prove that tin-plate has not and op.nlot manufactured in this country, notwithstanding the fact that almost indi-r its nose contract,? have been let for the construction of the largest tinplatejnanufactory in the world, that at Klwood. That paper should send its gaB missionary tip to Elwood.

M.UOH (IKOHOH W. HTKKLI: has resigned his position as Governor of Oklahoma, and the knowing Washington correspondents sav that ho is to be appointed Commissioner of Pensions. The Major, however, says he intends to return to Marion.

CINCINNATI it: in tho field as a eandi data for the next National Republican convention. Its newspapers promise that all the candidates shall have fair show, a courtesy that was not accorded by the nowspapers of Chicago at tho last convention.

THE Cincinnati Commercial Gazetto tersely remarks that in their war on the tin-plate industry tho Democrats are not only outraging common sentiments of patriotism, but nro also violating an important plank in tho Ten Commandments.

Mr. I'erkius Look4 After tho I'lcry Slu"1 iind Meet* wttli SerU'rt of Startling Surprint's—The Km) Came ttt I.UHt. [Copyrighted by Leo A: Shcpnrd, ltaaton. iuhI publishedbyspecialnrrungementivrith tlii tn.I

The other morning at breakfast Mrs. Perkins observed that Mr. Stiver, in whose house wo live, had been called nway, and wanted to know if I would see to his horse through the day.

1 knew that Mr. Stiver owned it horse, because 1 occasionally saw him drive out of tho yard, and I saw the stable everyday '*"t what kit"! of a horse I didn't know. I never wont in the stable for two reasons: In tho first place, I had no desire to, and, secondly, I didn't knowas the horse cared particularly for com-, panv. 1 never took care of a horse in my life, and had I been of a less hopeful nature, the charge Mr. Stiver had left with me might have hud very depressing ellect, but I told Mrs. Perkins I would do it. "You Imow how to take care of a horse, don't you?" said she. 1 gave lit-r a reassuring wiulc. In fact, knew so little about it that I didn't think il j-aie to converse more fluently than by winks.

After breakfast 1 seized a toothpick and walked out toward the stable. There was nothing particular to do, as Stiver had given him his breakfast, aud I found him eating it, so 1 looked around. Tho horse looked around, too, and stared pretty hard at me. There was but little said on either side. 1 hunted up the location of the feed, and then sat down on rt peck measure aud fell to studying the beast. There is a wide difference in horses. Home of them will kick yon over and never look around to see what becomes of you. 1 don't like a disposition like that, and 1 wondered if Stiver's horse was one of them.

When 1 came homo at noon 1 went straight to the stable. The animal was there all right. Stiver hadn't told nje what (ogive him for dinner, aud I had not given tho subject any thought, but 1 went to ihe oat box and filled the peck measure, and sallied up to the manger.

When he saw tho oats he almost r-miled this pleased and amused him. I uiptied them into the trough, and •eft him to admire the way 1 parted ny hair behind. 1 just got my head up in time to save the whole of it. He had his ears back, his mouth OIH. II and looked as if he were on the point of committing murder. 1 went out nnd filled tip the measure .-(gain, aud climbed up the side of the stall and emptied it on lop of him. He brought his head up so uddenly at this that 1 immediately got down, letting go of everything to doit. I struck on the sharp edge of a barrel, rolled over a couple of times and then disappeared under a hayentter. The peck measure went down on the other side and got mysteriously tangled up in that animal's heels, and he went to work at it. and then ensued the most dreadful noise I ever heard in all my life, and 1 have been married eighteen years.

It did seem as if 1 never would get out from under that hayentter, and all the while 1 was struggling and wrenching myself and the cutter apart that awful beast was kicking around in that stall and making the most appalling sound imaginable.

When 1 got out I found Mrs. Perkins lit the door. She had heard the racket and had sped out to tho stable, her only thought being of mo aud 'hreo stovelids she had under her arm, and ono oi which she was about to lire at the beast.

This made me mad. "Go away, you unfortnuato idiot," I shouted "do you want to knock my brains out?" For 1 remembered seeing Mrs. Perkins sling a missile once before, and that 1 nearly lost an eye by the operation, although standing on tho other side of the house.

She retired at once. And at the same time tho animal quieted down, but there is nothing left of that peck measure, not even the maker's name.

I followed Mrs. Perkins into tho house and had her do me up, and then I gat down in a chair and fell into a profound strain pf meditation. After awhile 1 felt better and went ont to the stablo again. Tho horse was leaning against the stable stall, with eyes half closed, and appeareil to be very much engrossed in thought. "Step off to the left," I said, rubbing his back.

He didn't step. I got tho pitchfork and pnnched him in the leg with tho handle. I Ie\iminediately raised up both hind legs at once, and that fork flow out of my hands and went rattling up against tho timbers above and came down again in an instant, the end of tho handle rapping me with such forco on the top of the-head that I sat right down on tho floor pnder tho impression that I was ftanding in front of a drug store in the evening. 1 went back to the house and got some moro stuff on me. But I couldn't keep away from that stablo. I went out there again. The thought struck mo that what the horse wanted was exercise. If that thought had been an empty glycerin can it would have sieved a windfall of luck for me.

But exercise would tone him down, *nd exercise him I should I laughed to myself to think how I wou.d trounce him around tho yard. I didn't laugh iipin that afternoon. I got him unhitched, and then wondered how I was to get him out of the stall without carrying him out. I pushed, but he wouldn't budge. 1 stood looking at him in the face, thiilkiug of something to say, when lie suddenly solved tho difficulty by veering about and plunging for tho door. 1 followed, as a mutter of course, because I had a tight hold on the rope, and hit about every parti tiou stud wortli speaking of on that side of tho barn. Mrs. Perkins was at tho window and saw tu oouio ont of tho door. Sho subsequently

remarked that we came out skipping like two innocent children: The skipping was entirely unintentional on impart. 1 felt as if I slootl on the \vr40 of eternity. My legs may have skipped, but my mind was filled with awe.

I took that animal out to exercise him. Ho exercised me before 1 got through with it. lie went around a few tini:-s tn a circle then ho stopped suddenly, spread out his forelegs and looked at me. Then he leaned forward a little and hoisted both hind legs ami threw about two coal hods of mud over a line I'uil ol slothes Mrs. Perkins had just hung out-

That excellent lady had taken a portion at the window, and whenever the evolutions of the awful beast permitted I caught a glance at her features, hhe appeared to be very much interested in the proceedings, but the instant thai liemud flew she disappeared from the window, and a moment later she appeared oil tho stoop with a long poker in h-'r hand and lire enough in her eye to ln at it red hot.

Just then Stiv.-r's horse stood tip on his hind legs and tried to hug tne with the others. This scared me. A horse never shows his strength to such advantage as when he is coining down on you like a frantic pile driver. I instantly dodged, and the cold sweat fairly boiled 3Ut of inc.

It suddenly came over me that I had once figured in a similar position 3 eat* ago. My grandfather owned a little white horse that would get up from a meal at Delinonico's to kick the president of tho United States. He sent 1110 to the lot one day, aud unhappily suggested that 1 often went after that horse, and suffered all kinds of defeat in getting him out of tho jfasture, but I had never tried to ride him. Heaven know.i I never thought of it. I had my usual trouble with him that day. He tried to jump over ine and push me down in a mud hole, and finally got up on his hind legs and came waltzing after me with facilities enough to convert ine into hash, but 1 turned and made for that fence with all the agony a prospect of instant death could crowd into me. If our candidate, for the presidency hud run one-half as well there would bo sev-enty-five postmasters in Danbury today, instead of one.

I got him out fiiiallv, and when ha was quiet enough took liiin np alongside the fence and got 011 hint. He stopped an instant, one brief instant, and then tore off tkn.-n the road at a frightful speed. I laid down on him and clasped my hands tightly around his neck and thought of my home. When we got to the stable I was confident he would stop, but I10 didn't. He drove straight at the door. It was a low door, just high enough to permit him to go in at lightning speed, but there was 110 room for me. I saw if I struck that stable the struggle would be a very brief ono. 1 thought this all over in an instant, and then spreading out my arms and legs emitted a scream, and tho next moment was bounding about in tho filth of that stable ya_rd. AU this passed through my
