A GOOD PLATFORM.

The following are the resolutions passed at the Republican convention at Crawfordsville:

Resolved, That we learn with sorrow of the untimely death of Roscoe Conkllng, whose giant Intellect and spotless Integrity always commanded a Just and deserved admiration, and whose magnificent services for the cause of freedom and the Union In the time of our nation's peril will ever remain a proud part of the country's history.

Whereas, The Democratic party went before the people In the last national campaign condemning every measure of policy pursued by the Republicans for twenty-four years, accusing their administration of all manner of corruption, maladministration and abuse, denouncing the tariff system of the Republican party as an odious tax upon the consumer and an Infamous system of legalized robbery, and making high promises of Innovation and pretended reform, and have utterly failed to redeem auy of^helr promises, but have pursued In all Important particulars the policy of the Republicans which tliey have so long denounced, be It therefore

Resolved, That we denounce the Democratic party as a party of false pretenses, alike destitute of conviction, untrue to the people and false to Its promises, and unworthy of the support of an Intelligent people.

Resolved, That the Republican party still favors, as In the past, and will continue to favor, a tariff reform which, while protecting the consumer igalnst the greed of monopoly, shall not be unmindful of a proper regard for our Industrial Interests, and shall Judiciously guard the workingman against all danger from the free trade, starvation wages of Europe.

Resolved, That the soldiers and sailors of the late war who Jfought for the preservotlon of the llnton are deserving of the most sacred consideration by tlin government. By their patriotism, devotion and loyalty to the country the nation owes them an everlasting debt of gratitude, and that In consideration of their service they should receive pensions, not as dependents, but as a reward for their love of country. That we denounce President Cleveland for his pension vetoes and for his purpose to return the rebel Hag, and declare that those trophies of the Union armies should remain In the archlave.s of the nation where they properly belong.

Resolved, That the course of our representative In congress, the Hon. James T. Johnson, meets with our hearty approval and unqualified endorsement.

We hereby recognize the upright personal charatcer and valiant military services In the nation's dire extremity and the distinguished statesmanship of our fellow-citizen, General Benjamin Harrison.

Wo are proud of his gallant leadership In the Indiana campaign of 1886 In the face of an Infamous Democratic gerrymander of the state, and we commend him to the Republicans of the country as our choice for the office of president of the United States.

However, we hereby pledge ourselves to the loyal support of the nominee of the approaching Chicago convention,

The Democrats in this district have been at a great deal of trouble so far in trying to pick out a candidate for congress. It would be disheartening to these able statesmen if at the last moment Mr. Lamb should pick out himself.

It is difticult io realize that there is a man in the White House who has issued orders to the Federal officeholders forbidding just such activity in political af fairs as is being witnessed this week at Indianapolis. The Express sees nothing very wrong in the participation in a political convention by officeholders, but Mr. Cleveland pretended that he did and said they shouldn't do it.

John E. Sullivan, indicted for the tally sheet frauds, and generally accused of furnishing rotten provisions to the patients at the State Insane Hospital, wants to go as a delegate to the national Democratic convention. No doubt a copy of the indictment against him womld be received as proper credentials. Owing to circumstances over which he has no control Coy can not go but he is yet able to dictate to his party the name of those who are to go, and if he issues the order Sullivan will be a delegate. And there isn't a Democrat in Indiana big enough or honorable enough to say him nay.

A TALK TO WORKINGMEN.

The Remuneration of Labor in England and Illinois.

The British manufacturers, says the New York Sun, require the markets of the entire world in which to sell the enormous quantities of fabrics and materials they produce. For seventy years they have unceasingly striven to get free entrance into the markets of the United States. As often as they have succeeded in whole or in part, so often has the bankruptcy of our own industries and the misery of our unemployed workmen compelled a return to our wise policy of reserving America's market for American labor and the capital that employs it.

The British are now watching with a sort of forlorn hope at the half-closed doors of our custom houses.

The bone of contention between pro tectionists and free traders is the remuneration which labor should receive. Mr. Mill's tariff reduction bill slashes into the duties on the foreign products of nearly all the important industries of the United States. Every blow struck at these is a blow at the wages of American labor. Every such slash cuts into the livelihood of an American working man or woman. Throughout the entire system of manufactures by machinery or hand, the wages paid in the United States are about twice as great as those paid in Europe, while the cost of food and clothing is less here than there. Every wageearner can see from the following comparison of the pay of operatives in a blast furnace in Joliet, 111., and in the blast furnaces of a great steel rail establishment in Cumberland. Eng., the loss of money, comfort and well-being which the Mills tariff would inflict on him if it should become a law

CODRT HOUSE DEDICATION'.

The

New ItuildinK Will be Formerly Opeued on May 7.

The work at the new court house has so far progressed that the date when the formal opening of the building will take place has been fixed for Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock, May 7. The exercises of the dedication will occur in the Circuit court room. It will be simply a formal affair. No definite programme has been arranged but it will consist principally of speeches. Col. R. W. Thompson will make an address, also Judge Mack and others. The county officers are now all busily engaged in making preparations lor moving. The old records and documents which are least often used have been stored away in the basement and attic, and in consequence the work will not require a great amount of labor and will be completed on Saturday if possible. On Monday morning it is the jntention to have the officers and their deputies smiling behind their gorgeous new counters. The woodwork is receiving its finishing touches, the carpets and floor coverings are nearly all down, and the entire building will be ready in several days to be received from the architects and contractors. Architect Hannaford is expected from Cincinnati next Monday when the finished structure will be formally turned over to the board of commissioners. The clerk's and treasurer's office are greatly admired by visitors. Very pretty fretwork of brass extends above the counters and give the appearance of a banking room. It is expected to employ a man to run the elevator and two janitors to look after the interior of the building. Quite a number of applications have been received by the board,but have not been acted upon.

Tlie Commissioners Let Contracts.

The board of county commissioners was yesterday engaged in the consideration of bridge matters. Before adjournment the board concluded to let the contracts for two bridges over the Thompson or Rost ditch. The successful bidders were the Pittsburg Bridge company. The Rost ditch has occasioned considerable trouble. The ditch was not constructed on the line of the original survey, and Rost enjoined the commissioner and brought suit to compel him to dig the ditch as originally surveyed. Judge Allen rendered a special finding much in the nature of a compromise. The ditch again got into the courts because of a conflict as to who should construct the bridges where highways were crossed. It was held that the work should be done by the board of commissioners. One bridge will be built on the Sullivan road, and a second on the Lockport road crossing of the ditch. Both bridges will be of iron, and will cost in the aggregate $1,065. The board also passed upon the following accouts: George Hurst, poor expenses.....:....... $121 00 S. S. Henderson, service as commissioner.. 21 00 Alex, Thomas, speclflc 2 00 Wm. Fremont, poor expenses 8 00

The Otter Creek Township Contest.

The contest brought against Trustee Crabb, of Otter Creek township, by Orth, Democrat, who was beaten by one vote in the recent elections, was to have been called before the board of commissioners on Monday, but a continuance was taken for two weeks, both sides agreeing upon the 14th of April as a suitable date. The commissioners have been busily engaged and could not afford at present to devote considerable time to hearing evidence. There are no new developments, but the contest will be a very lively one.

About the Courts.

Judge Allen was on the bench yesterday afternoon and called the docket. Quite a number of cases were set. The judge is arranging his docket so that when he occupies his new room there will be no time lost in such work.

Circuit court has adjourned and there is nothing doing of importance. The grand jury has adjourned for the term.

These are two among the most unique and financially successful journals in the country.

General Boulanger is now just 50 years old. He is noted for his grace and gallantry, and more than any other Frenchman is the idol and the especial hero of the ladies. No one else can open a fan or remove a lady's cloak or mount a restless horse in so graceful and charming a way, and the same qualities are said to characterize all his military actions.

A queer story comes from Jamestown, Ky. Henry and John Hill, brothers, bachelors and farmers, were on trial for the murder of two peddlers whose remains had been discovered on a neighboring hillside. Mary Smith, a discharged servant of the Hill brothers, was on the witness-stand, relating how she had been compelled by her masters, who threatened her with death if she refused, to slit the throats of the luckless peddlers. Just this for had the damsel proceeded when the two peddlers, like the two Jews in "Bellman," strolled into court, arm in arm, and the prisoners were instantly set free. The servant girl fainted away. The supposed remains of the peddlers were found on closer examination to have been two spring lambs.

The advance sale of seats for the engagement of the great tragedians, Mr. Edwin Booth and Mr. Lawrence Barrett at Naylor's to-morrow evening still continues. It is quite evident that every seat on both floors will be sold before the doors open. Seats can be secured at Button's book store Thursday evening. The Atlanta Constitution speaking of the "Othello" performance in that city, says: The immense audience which filled DeGive's Opera house last night to witness the opening performance of Booth and Barrett was a credit and an honor to Atlanta. It represented the culture, the fashion, the sterling worth and the beauty of the whole city. The tragedy of Othello which, while more than a century old is forever new, was presented with a finish and power, and appealed throughout as its immortal author intended it should do, directly to the best artistic sense as its great lesson went straight home to human hearts. The porformance moved from first to last without a hitch to mar its excellence. The acting was the chief charm first, last and all the time, and the intelligence, not the sense, of the vast audience was appealed to in the loftiest sense of that much-abused term throughout. The Iago of Mr. Edwin Booth is a wondrous creation. Years of intelligent study of the character in all of its phases hasgi ven him a conception, the depth and grandeur of which no words can fully describe, and his execution of that conception in every detail is so perfect that no liting actor could ever hope to approximate it, because no living actor has such a marvelous gift of dramatic expression. It may be said of Booth, as old Samuel Johnson said of Garrick: "He seizes upon the very soul of a character." He was at his best last night, and played with the inspiration that puts criticism to the foil. He looked, he lived, he was the Iago of Shakspeare in every scene—and as subtile point after subtile point was piled up before the great audience with surpassing intensity, the man, Edwin Booth, was completely lost in this phenomenal Venetian villian. Where every phase of a great character is so faithfully pictured, it is hard to say which particular phase is best given. But as every conception has at least one part more difficult to execute

THE TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 35, 1888.

that all the rest, it may be said that the last scene in the play put Booth's wonderful powers to the severest test. He was equal to the occasion, and when this villain of villains forswears the power of speech and stands over the dead body of Othello, his dramatic power reaches the climax. The expression of mingled concentrated hate and gratified revenge is the very eloquence of bad passion—speaking with a power more tremulous than the mosbuning invective, grander in the fixedness and silence than the mightiest ac tion. The Othello of Mr. Barrett was a revelation. He played the* great and noble man with a dignity, an earnestness, an intelligence, that completely captivated the audience. His acting was splendid. His elocution was magnificent. There was a finish and feeling in every utterance which spoke the true and manly artist. One of the most striking features of this noble person was its grand reserve power—and Othello in the hands of Mr. Barrett was as great in the strength of its repose as in its storm of action. There was a refreshing absence of rant, and an even present intensity, which held the audience as with a maigic spell. In the vehement scenes Mr. Barrett was in the highest degree impressive, and in the subdued parts he melted the hearts of his hearers. What a magnificent voice he has! What wonderful control over it! The soul of modulation lives in that glorious organ, which touches the highest point of magnificent rage as readily as it dies away in all the whispered helplessness of overwhelming grief. Mr. Barrett certainly divided the honors with Mr. Booth in the great scene which closes the third act. So impressed was the audience that they demanded four distinct recalls.

The chandelier in the dome of the Opera house is to be lighted on Thursday night, for the third time since the house was opened.

BRAGG'S RECENT MEXICAN SPEECH.

Being: Used by a Political Faction to Injure Diaz' Prospects of Ke-Election. CITY OF MEXICO, April 24.—The cler­

ical press has renewed its attacks on General Bragg, the United States minister, on account of the speech which he delivered at the banquet given in his honor by the American residents shortly after his arrival in this city. General Bragg said the American people would never permit any attack on free institutions in Mexico, and this declaration was considered by certain papapers as equivalent to an intimation that Mexico is not free to choose her own form of government. Yesterday's issue of a paper called La Defensa Catolica contained a lively attack on the general as well as on the liberal party. It says that of all the ministers the United States has sent to Mexico during the last eight years none has uttered sentiments so undiplomatic or asserted so openly the claim of the United States to control affairs on the American continent as General Bragg. The writer then reproaches the liberal party for listening to such arrogant declarations in silence, and virtually acquiescing in them by approving Bragg's spech in its organ. The attack is really directed against the liberal party and the present administration. The clerical press is aware that General Diwz' chances of reelection have been much strengthened by the recent financial success of the Mexican government in Europe, and they are now seeking to render Diaz and his party odious to the people by representing him as favorable to the United States. nt-

'""SOUTHERN INDIANA FRIJIT CROP.

The Frospects for lterries and Fruit in the Great Center. Special to the Indianapolis News.

JEFFERSON VILLE, April 24.—From all sides reports are that the berry and fruit cryp will be better this year than during the ten years past. It has successfully weathered two severe frosts, and only an uncommonly unfavorable will now serve to cut it short. The great peach raisers here are highly elated one of them—Colonel J. F. Willey—says that peaches area more reliaable crop than wheat, and pay. better to the acre. He went so for as to say that he finds an Indiana peach orchard more profitable than a Florida orange grove—he having both. During the past forty years the good and bad fruit seasons have almost alternated, the bad being one ahead, with this year to hear from.

This section is, uudoubtedly, destined to be one of the greatest fruit centers in the world. Already the production of

in Clark and Jefferson counties, iana, and Oldham county, Kentucky, is something enormous—Memphis, Otto and Madison, Ind., being the shipping centers. Strawberries, raspberries and blackberries are already staples of Floyd and Clark counties, and are constantly gaining ground, which is also true of grape culture. It is predicted that in twenty years the now almost valueless hills of southern Indiana will be terraced with vineyards, peach orchards and small fruit gardens. One of the peach raisers says that in one year he made $15,000 jjrross.

STRAY INFORMATION.

An incident occurred connected with the Cleveland visit here which has never been bublished. The next day after the reception a number of gentlemen were with Senator Voorhees at the Terre Haute house. Some one remarked that Mr. Isaac Ball managed the carriage arrangements well. Mr. Voorhees exclaimed, in astonishment: "Isaac Ball! You did not have an undertaker arrange the procession? My God! Why did you not have the coronor at once?" A gentleman replied that the coroner was chairman of the committee of arrangements and headed the procession. Some strong language followed from the senator, winding up that if it got into the papers they would never hear the last of it. After he had subsided a little Mr. Lamb said: "That is not all, Mr. Voorhees. The carriage in which you and the Clevelands rode was Pete Katzenbach's new funeral carriage, which had not been used, and he had been keeping it for a month to have you and the Cleve-lands-christen it" All of which was true. After this last piece of information the expressions from the senator were not suited for publication.

A wild Mexican pony was captured by the Police on Monday night and after considerable difficulty was placed in Campbell's livery stable. The animal was extremely wild and vicious and none of the horsemen of the police department were particularly anxious to have anything to do with the pony. An Indian who is a member of the Dowling hall troupe heard of the pony and made application of Superintendent Knight to be permitted to ride him. The superintendent replied that he had no objection but added that if the attempt was made it should take place at Hul man park or some other place where there would be no danger of anyone being hurt in the event the red skin was thrown. Mr. Knight refused to permit and attempt to govern the pony in the streets. The Indian concluded he did not wish to go to so much trouble for the purpose of giving an exhibition of his equestrian skill, and the horse remains unridden and unclaimed.

There is one team of horses belonging to the street car company that it has been a very difficult matter to break into the service, and every time they have been brought out on the street have furnished amusement for a good many persons. The keen edge of their viciousness has, however, by this time been worn off, and only occasionally do they give the driver any trouble. At the I. & St. L. depot the other day they absolutely refused to go.™ One driver whipped them while another pulled on one bridle and a policeman tugged at the other. Several passengers got out and condescendingly aided in the effort, and without their usual accompaniment of kicking, the team finally started on a tear down the street.

Trustee Rynerson has not yet sent in his report to the board of county commissioners, and the board is at sea as to what action should be taken in the matter. Rynerson's greatest fault seems to have been his negligence and his accounts are now involved, and it is a difficult matter to straighten them out. His successor called upon him several days ago for the books belonging to the trustee's office. He was given a number of receipt books, it is said. "The ex-trus-tee has got the best of us," said one of the commissioners yesterday.

The Terre Haute Lawn Tennis club, composed of young ladies and gentlemen, have had quite a good deal of trouble in finding playing grounds this year, as all the good places have been taken for residence sites. But at last it has been decided to play on south Center street in the large Deming lot and this will be placed in the best possib'e condition at once. The officers for the coming season have been elected as follows: L. J. Cox, president Miss Sue Beach, vice president A. McRea, secretary and treasurer.

The annual catalogue of the Rose Polytechnic institute has just been issued, and contains all information desirable to those wishing to enter the school. The school has now graduated three classes, twenty-seven students in all, and there are now 109 students in the school, divided up as follows: Graduate students 2, seniors 13, juniors 11, sophomores 23, and freshmen 60. The catalogues contain much valuable and interesting information and can be obtained by addressing the institute.

The work of removing the furniture from the old court house has bqan commenced. Superior court now looks desolate. The tables, chairs and benches are being taken to the High school building where they will be used by the Normal school students until repairs are completed on the old building. The furniture will then be returned to the county and will be put into rervice in the new house. The commissioners have not taken into consideration what is to be done with the old court house, but it is probable the various rooms will be offered for rent as soon as they are vacated.

Secretary Thompson is gradually increasing the membership of the Citizens Manufacturing association, and thinks he will be able to regain all the old members of last year and a good many new ones. There is much unvaidable delay in seeing the business men, otherwise the work would go on more rapidly. The secretary has been unable to see a good many and a number of others have been so constantly occupied that he has been unable to catch them at any leisure moment. "The only thing wanted now to make business good is warm weather," remarked aMain street dry goods merchant yesterday. "Ginghams, calicos, parasols, linens, and all other goods now seasonable, are not selling as well as they should. Give us warm weather and we will ask nothing more." Everybody is complaining, and the universal demand is for warm weather as a cure.

It is surprising the number of amateur photographers there are in the city, and some of them have now become quite expert in the work. Their talent is brought into play in photographing all round the city, and several have obtained excellent collections of city and country views. A large number have good negatives of the Normal ruins.

Coming District and State Conventions. The Republicans of Indianajmd those who will act with them in the coming campaign are invited to participate in the election of delegates to the following conventions: 1. A convention to be held on Thursday, April 19,1888, at 1 o'clock p. m., in the following places and congressional districts, viz.:

First District—Bvansvllle. Third District—Seymour. Fourth District—Madison. Filth District—Martinsville. '•••'.*:-i*' Sixth District—Rushvllle. Seventh District—Indianapolis. Eighth District—Crawfordsville. Ninth District—Frankfort. •••=. •***.& Tenth District—Delphi. Eleventh Distrtet—Marion. .e. Twelfth District—Auburn. VS.' Thirteenth District—Goshen. The several state central committeemen will issue and publish the proper call for each of said conventions. At these conventions there will be elected two delegates and two alternate delegates to represent the district in the next national Republican convention. 2. A state convention to be held at Indianapolis, Thursday, May 3,1888, at 11 a. m., in a hall to be hereafter named, to elect four delegates at large and four alternates to represent the state of Indiana in the next national Republican convention.

The several counties are entitled to the following representation in said convention viz:

This time, manner and place of selecting the delegates to the conventions above named will be designated by the several county central committees, and due notice given by publication in each county.

The second congressional district is not included in this call so far as it relates to the district convention, for the reason that the two delegates and alternates for that district were elected at the convention held in Washington, February 2,1888, pursuant to notice given by the proper committeeman, which election of delegates was ratified and confirmed by a resolution unanimously adopted by the Republican state central committee at the meeting held February 16,1888, but the counties in that district will elect delegates to the state convention to be held May 3, as above stated.

The time for holding the state convention for the nomination of candidates for the state offices to be voted for next November has not yet been fixed, but the representation in that convention will be the same as in that district conventions above named, and the delegates can be chosen at such time and in such place and manner as may be fixed by the several county committees.

The county chairman will report the names of all delegates and alternates to the chairman of the state committee.
