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 Conkling, whose giant Intellect and spotless Integrity always commanded a just and deserved admiration, and whose magnllleent 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 Bepublicans 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 any of their promises, but have pursued in all important particulars the policy of the Republicans which they have solongdenounced.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 against tiie 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 fought for the preservotlon of the llnton are deserving of the most sacred consideration by tlm 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 ills pension vetoes and for his purpose to return the rebel Hag, and declare that those trophies of the Union armies should remain in the archiaves of the nation where they properly belong.

Resolved, That the course o£ our representative in congress, the ilon. James T. Johnson, meets with our hearty approval and unqualified endorsement.

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

We are proud of his gallant leadership in the Indiana campaign of 188G in the face of an inlamous 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 Suites.

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

Enforce the law.

Your Uncle Joseph McDonald has written his owu obituary.

Lawlor has said he would be back in olllce after the May election.

The effort is to restore the VandeverTjawlor rule, and reopen the gambling saloons.

Poor old Uncle Joe McDonald! lie does not know that Gray has put him on the shelf.

The attendance of Republicans at soiue of the wards last evening was the largest on record.

There are a good many Democrats in Terre Hauie who have the courage to vote for law and order.

The Democratic chaos in the state convention at Indianapolis, is duplicated in miniature in local politics here.

There are so many good Republican doctrines that the Express in trying to give place to the declarations of the Crawfordsville convention yesterday crowded out the "enforce the law."

Shall the present enforcement of the "law be continued or shall the keepers of Main street^gambling saloons dictate the municipal policy? That is the ques tion fairly put to the people of Terre Haute. The owners of these gambling saloons are in charge of the Democratic campaign and are boasting that they

will restore the old order of things. One of them is himaelf a candidate for councilman-

It has been many years since Republicans showed so much interest in a election as was evinced in the primaries last night. There was that harmony and enthusiasm that makes victory at the polls sure.

City government by careful men is what is needed. City government by councilmen who belong to police schem

ers

is a too trivial consideration for Terre Haute considering all circumstances.

The Express again gives space to "C.," who has so often exposed the Gazette's free trade heresies. The Gazette is continually trying to make the point that a protective tariff works an injury to the workingman. In this connection we may say that "C." is a workingman employed in one of the industries in this city-

Enforce the law. The need of this admonition was never so apparent as it is at present. The coming city election presents the question as to whether the present enforcement of the law is to be continued. Anyone can see that the men who are now most active in the management of the Democratic campaign in this city are the ones who want the city opened, "wide open," again. The gambling saloon men are doing the real work of the campaign. They have charge of the party machinery and they hope to restore that era of public gambling that was the. crowning disgrace of the city.

Mr. Mills in the house at Washington has asked leave for members to print their speeches (unspoken) in the Record. Perhaps it would be as well to do so because no vote will be changed by the debate. Speeches are good enough in their way but they do not have the same effect they formally had. What senator, for instance, was enlightened by Mr. Voorhees' speech in the senate yesterday? It consisted of a lot of declarations" such as Mr. Voorhees in former years made on the stump, that our party will win and your parly will lose, saying it in such a voice and manmer as to please those who agreed with him but changing the opinion of no one. It is not reason or logic and the people are now exercising these faculties unmoved by the rhetorician's appeals to prejudice or emotion. ,i

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE-

Quinine.

To the Editor of the Express. SIK: The Gazette of yesterday tells Its readers that Quinine is now selling for 50 cents an ounce, and that in 1878 and before the repeal of the quinine tax it sold for $3.50 per ounce, and It finds no difficulty In reaching the conclusion that tlierepeal of the tariff on this drug has effected a saving to the people of $8 on every ounce they buy. Let us see.

The Hon. David A. Wells, the ablest free trader in America, in the course of his article in the Popular Science Monthly on "Economic Disturbance Since 1873," refers to quinine three times, and while discussing the recent decline In the prices of almost everything he says this: "But in no article has the decline In recent years been so extraordinary or more capable of explanation than in the case of sulphate of quinine." Does Mr. Wells ascribe the reduction to the fact that a Republican senator from Illinois, Judge David Davis, had secured the repeal of the quinine tax? Not at all, nor does he tell us the repeal of that item of duty had anything whatever to do with it.

The Gazette would have us think that quinine was always cheap la Europe and always dear in this country. But while it claims that the drug was $3.50 per ounce here in 1878, Mr. Wells tells us that for the year 1878 It was $4.70 per ounce In. London, and everybody knows that after the repeal of the tariff quinine rose In price instead of falling as we all expected it would, and this is the explanation.

While quinine was so dear, a civil war was raging in New Granada the county from which most of the cinchona bark of commerce came, and when the war had sufficiently abated to permit the gathering and shipping of the bark, the Magdalena river, the stream down which most of it was floated to the civilized world, happened to be so low as to render navigation impossible and, added to this was the more serious facts that the wasteful methods of gathering the bark had nearly exhausted accessible supplies. But when sulphate of quinine came to sell 111 London for $4.70 per ounce certain enterprising gentlemei began to think of the artificial propagation of the cinchona tree. They took cuttings to the English and Dutch East Indies, and especially to Java, and started cinchona plantations, meeting with such success as astonished the experimenters themselves, and now the world does not depend for Its supply of Peruvian bark upon the Insolent and half civilized people of South America, but the supply is as steady and reliable as is the supply of sugar and coffee, and in addition to this, the fact is worth stating that cultivated cinchona bark affords from four to six times as much quinine as does the wild, and henee the drug can be magnfactured from it much cheaper than it could be made from the barh as nature furnished it. This and improved methods of extracting the salt, account for the fall In price, and we are assurred that the time Is not distant when it will sell for one half of what it costs to-day.

We are under obligations to Mr. David A. Wells for exploding the ten thousand free trade lies that have been told about quinine, and though they may yet be useful to Statesman Mills, of Texas, and the Terre Haute Gazette, it may be that even they will in time learn to be careful about when and where and how they use them.

LATEST STYLE IN MORTGAGES.

Atlanta Constitution. Mortgages are signed by two witnesses the same as last year, and are folded so as to lit the side coat pocket The back taxes are combed forward and parted on the side nearest the mortgage. In this climate mortgages generally mature in the winter season.

CORRESPONDENTS IN HARD LUCK. Philadelphia Ledger. While the hard-pressed European correspondents have got the Emperor Frederick at death's door again, its they had him before he left San Remo, he is reported by the cable as up betimes In In the morning and "attending to business."

QUEEN AND WOMAN-

Philadelphia Record. Queen Victoria can't help the woman that's In her. She cares more for wedding cake, with princely frills, than for the comity of two such uatlons as Germany and Great Britain.

HIGH LICENSE ON TOP.

Lincoln (Neb.) Journal. A careful perusal of the election returns from all parts of the West tend to convince the unprejudiced that prohibition is losing its grip, to make way for high license.

FACTS ABOUT FLOODS.

Philadelphia Press. The flood on the upper Mississippi is almost as big as the flood of free trade oratory In congress. Unlike the latter, it is not likely to be dammed.

ESCAPES HOUSE CLEANING.

Jabber—Hello, old man! Spring cleaning at your house this week. Jiber—No, not much!

There wa» a young doctor of Stye, Whose patients seemed destined to die But he left them one day

To go fishing, they say.

And they all got well, just for a guy.

There Is an old man In Duluth, Who made up his mind in his yooth. That he never would lie

Now he's longing to die.

He's so tired of telling the truth. There Is a young girl In Cohoes, As fair and as fresh as arose -n

But she ciphers in Greek, And she speaks Volapuk,

And she'll die an old maid, I suppose.

There was a young man in Japan, Who wrote verses after this plan But the populace rose,

As you may suppose.

And they wiped out this wretched young man. —[Somervllle Journal.

Minister Bragg has not yet succumbed to pulque, and appears delighted with his position. He writes to a Wisconsin friend that the climate is delightful, that the country has a world of wealth in it, the people are polite and hospitable, and that there is hardly a city of 10,000 people in Wisconsin where there is so little of disturbance or of boisterous, riotous conduct as there.

George W. Cable grew dramatic in a recent lecture before some Massachusetts colored men, and exclaimed, pointing to his left side: "Right there is the mark of a United States minie ball.

A Washington correspondent says that if a political favor is desired from Mr. Edmunds the request must not be prefaced by an invitation to "take something," because "however accommodating and ready to yield to the wishes of others in the morning, nothing can bend him after he has had his wine.

Monsignor Bouland asserts that he can not subscribe to the teachings and doctrines proclaimed by the Vatican council, nor can he admit the pretensions of ultramontanism, because it claims absolute authority in scientific, philosophical, social, and political matters, as well as in religious affairs.

Englishmen in New York celebrated Monday as St. George's day, giving a banquet in the evening, at which the Hon. Chauncey M. Depew was a guest. In his speech Professor Goldwin Smith said that an anti-English feeling prevailed in America that Englishmen were trampled upon by those who courted the Irish vote, and that he opposed the granting of home rule to Ireland. Mr. Depew, when his term came to speak, expressed absolute and unqualified dissent from the opinions of Mr. Smith, and his mention of the name of Gladstone provoked hisses from the gathering.

foot in two. When in midaid the apparatus gave way and the woman fell, striking the payment with a terrible force. The knees struck the curbstone first, throwing her against a tree-box. The physicians found her knees broken, her spine injured, and internal rupture certain to cause an agonizing death. Her real name is Annie Wilson of Philadelphia, where her parents are said to be well connected.

THE BOOT-BLACK'S RECEIPTS.

Over $400 Will Be Realized Oat of the Riley Entertainment.

Mr. D. W. Henry stated yesterday that the entertainment at the Opera house Tuesday night, for the benefit of the Newsboys' and Boot-blacks' union, would net the boys over $400. The bills have not all been paid but the amount left will be in excess of that given. This includes the subscription of many of the business men. Some of them have not been collected but are as good as the cash. The union is now in debt about 875 which amount will be paid. The amount raised is not sufficient to carry the expenses another year, but will go far toward this end. It is not thought the expense will be as large this year as before, because it will not be necessary to make purchases for the cooms and otherwise lay out money. There is more interest than ever in the youngsters and the public seems willing to assist in aiding the institution. The night school will be continued next winter. For the greater part of last winter the boys were under the instruction of a paid teacher. A number of teachers volunteered their services, but it was found not to be so satisfactory as when one regular teacher had charge of the boys. Mrs. AUyn Adams is deserving of praise for her work with the boys in teaching them a number of songs. A meeting of the board of governors will be called next week, and a statement published setting forth the condition of the institution and returning thankB to many who have so kindly assisted in the work of supporting the school.

TOWNSHIP PHYSICIANS APPOINTED.

The Physic lans for the Tear Seiei-uw "J the Commissioners.

The county commissioners have made appointments of township physicians for the year commencing with the first of next month. The list of those appointed is as follows:

Harrison—E. Larklns. Honey Creek—H. J. Huntley.

Pralrleton—L. E. Carson. ,. Prairie Creek—Mason Talbott.' Linton—W. D. McJohnston. Riley—Lewis C. Griffith. Nevlns—Seth B. Hilton. Lost Creek—JohnF. Shlckel. Otter Creek—Thomas H. McCorkle. Plereon—L. H. Stock. Fayette, first district—S. W. Bennett. Fayette, second district—T. F. Brown. •The auditor has prepared the following contract which he is sending out to the appointees to sign:

Ordered that be and Is hereby appointed township physician to render medical and surgical attention to the poor of -....township, Vigo county, Indiana, for the term of one year he to furnish all necessary medicines and surgical appliances required for such service, and to perform all neccessary post-mortem examinations when called upon by the coroner of said county to do so, and that he give bond for the faithful performance of such service In an amount that may be deemed sufficient by the county auditor.

Some of the township physicians have been under the impression that it was necessary to first procure an order from the township trustee before rendering medical services. Such is not the case and the board desires this understood, although it is not mentioned in the agreement.

STBEET SPRINKLING.

It Should Be Done by the City Fire Departinent.

The following is from the Indianapolis Journal: It is to be expected, as intimated by Alderman Laut, that the men who have been engaged in the business of street sprinkling by private contract will oppose the plan of placing the matter under city control. When the sprinkling question was agitated in St. Louis last year violent opposition to the proposed change of system was made by contractors who had long had a monopoly of the business. It was with an appearance of great plausibility that they declared the cost of the work to be so great the public treasury could not afford it, and an imposing array of figures was brought out to support their statements. A little experiment and investigation, however, proved that Sprinkling could be done at a much lower rate than the cost to private citizens which had been the basis of their calculations. An enormous percentage of profit had been reaped under the old system, a$d it was entirely natural that the contractors should prefer td have it remain in force. Competition and a disclosure of the facts soon brought them to reasonable terms, and it was found that all the streets could be sprinkled at a total cost not greatly exceeding the amount paid by individual contributions for laying dust in portions of the city.

••5 The Commissioners,

The board of commissioners were session yesterday for a short time but went out to inspect bridge work. In this line the present board has made a good record. A large number of bridges have been built and they are of the most substantial character. Repairs have been made on many and at present the bridges throughout the county fire in excellent condition. The board is now located in its suit of rooms in the southeast norner of the first floor of the new building. Their old room is being used by a deputy auditor and deputy treasurer who are going over the tax duplicates.

The Light Guards.

The Light Guard annual banquet will take place on Saturday night, May 5. The postponement was owing to important meetings which many of the members desired to attend on the date first agreed upon. A programme has not been prepared but will be in a few days. There will be a number of short toasts. An elaborate banquet will be spread, arrangements having been made for it. The annual will probably take place in Occidental hall, if it can be secured.

STRAY INFORMATION.

Numerous incidents in the life of Mr. Thomas Foley are recalled since his death, by those who knew him best on Wall street. Mr. Foley when he first came here road law in the office of Senator D. W. Voorhees and Judge A. B. Carlton. There were a number of young lawyers in the office, including a son of Judge Carlton, John Paul Jones and Thomas Donham. The office was. then located on Main street near the corner of Fifth, upstairs. Later the office was removed to the corner of Fourth and Ohio streets, and firm became known as Voorhees, Carlton & Lamb. He had peculiarities in his work before the courts. His address was one pe culiar to himself, for he invariably made a jesture stretching out all of his fingers. A favorite expression was, "Now, your honor, let us see about this." He was quite successful in his practice, and took part in a number of important cases. Mr. Foley was always a politician. His brother, James, was defeated for city treasurer by one vote, and he was active in the contest which followed. Mr. Tom A j.uerson was nominated for county clerk and Mr. Foley opposed him, incurring the enmity of Patrick Shannon in so doing. Anderson, who was in Shan non's bank, had opposed the election of James Foley. But a change came about and Shannon and Foley became the warmest of friends. He was a prominent member of the Democratic Good Government club in the campaign of 1886.

A number of stories are told in regard to the writing of "On the Banks .of Deer Creek, by J. W. Riley. It is said he wrote the poem in the office of a friend while waiting to take a train. Deer Creek" is a little stream which empties into the Wabash river above Lafayette. It passes through Carroll county, through the lower part of Cass, and has its origin in Miami county. Delphi is situated on Deer creek and has a beautiful picnic ground several miles from the city. The bluff rises several hundred feet, almost per pandicularily with the meandering little stream below. There are also several small cascades which are formed by small streams which well in bluffs from springs and tumble over rocks down into Deer. This is said to be the most beautiful scenery alone Deer creek and Delphi claims that the poet was so impressed with it that the poem was the result. A well known gentleman of this city who is quite an admirer of Riley was rusticating one summer in the vicinity of Deer creek. He was going out camping and while being driven across the country with a party of friends, a small creek was crossed. The driver was asked its name. "That is Deer creek" was the reply. "Stop," was the command. "we'll camp here." •Pve never seed the ocean

An' Iv'e never seed the sea But upon the banks of Deer creek Is good enough for me.' The Rev. James Hollingsworth, pastor of Asbury M. E. Church, has become a bicydlist and is very enthusiastic in his praise of the wheel. Mr. Hollingsworth is an energetic worker, a hard student and not possessed of a very robust constitution. Dr. Hollingsworth, his brother, presented him with a Springfield roadster, anew wheel in this city. The pastor has learned to ride and now mounts his wheel every evening and goes out for a spurt. "You don't know how pleased I am with it," said he. "I have only been riding several weeks but it seems thot every muscle is brought into action and I feel stronger in consequence." A favorite ride is at Strawberry hill. Dr. Glover is also a bicyclist who, in this city, do not seem to be very numerons among professional men.

Superintendent Hull, of the poor farm states that the addition will be completed within several weeks, and will be ready for use. The water connections are now being made to the bath rooms which are greatly needed. The board of commissioners inspected the asylum a few days ago. Mr. Hull has secured some of the furniture of the old court house for the asylum, such as tables and chairs, and is now removing them.

A BODY BLOW FOR ST. LOUIS.

The Ynlcan Steel Works Forced to Remove Their Plant Klsewliere. ST. LOUIS, April 25.—A sensation

was caused in manufacturing circles today by the rumor that the rich body of iron ore at Iron Mountain and Pilot Knob had been exhausted and that the Vulcan Steel work would be removed to Cleveland. The plant is controlled by the St. Louis Ore & Steel company and lessees are Wilcox & Stuart. The shipments have fallen from 22,000 tons of ore per month to 6,000. Seventy per cent, of the men employed have been discharged because there is no more work for them to do. Stores in the vicinity have been abandoned, and the settlement which was so lively a year ago, as otlv a mining camp can be, is now exceedingly dull. The former employes are going elsewhere to seek for work, as there is nothing for them to do at Pilot Knob. It is now stated that ever since last fall the company has been prospecting all about the four mountains which it owns near Pilot Knob, and using diamond drills to discover more ore. The mines were the richest in the country.

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.
