This is said to be the first titne the Vatican has so honored an Exposition. In the display, no doubt, will be early maps and documents relating to the Western world; which are now iu the Vatican archives, and which will be very appropriate exhibits for a fair commemorating the discovery of America. ■ ‘ " T* * The current queen of the operatic stage in Paris is a promoted kitchen maid who was discovered in a suburban inn. It is fortunate the announcement can be made now when one can have the doors and windows open. It would be embarrassing to have all the kitchen maids in the land trying their voices after cold weather sets in. The match box is used as a means •f match making, as appears from the confession of a girl whjo works in the Akron match factory. She says the girls who pack matbhes have cor-
wjK)ndenta att c)ver tlie country, secured by placing notes in the ruatch boxes. . Matches made in this styjg are not the same kind as are popularly supposed to be made in heaven. They are of a more sulphurous variety. . All the cranks do not live in the —Urnied* States. For instance; du rect your gaze toward England, where the Jacobite League, whose object it is to restore the house of Stuart — descendants of Charles I.—is said to Have ovgr J f7ooo‘avowed members, including a representative in the House of Lords —Lord Ashburnham. The House of Stuart will be restored in England about the time the first King of New Jersey is crowned. Connecticut’s divorce record for 1891 was 460 separations by legal process. This is, however, a decrease from the record of ISB9, when 536 marriages were annulled. Since 1860 the number of .persons divorced in the nutmeg State exceeds 26,000, the actual number of divorces being 16,167. The court records show that at least two-thirds of the petitioners are women. The statistics as to causes are said to be wholly* unreliable, the real ground rarely being disclosed—a condition of things not confined to Connecticut.
Emin Pasha bas helped to discover the Switzerland of Africa. His latest explorations, described in the Sun recently, together with those of Stanley, show that spurs of the great Abyssinian highlands extend far. eoutbwest, and, gradually uplifted to greater heights between Victoria Nyanza and the two western Nile w O lakes, become a system of mountains and peaks, less extensive than those of Abyssinia, but surpassed in height -"only by Kilima-Njaro. Jhere, under the tropical sun, are perpetually snow crowned summits', great ipe rivers rivalling some of the Alpine glaciers, and at least one volcaaoe in a state of eruption, the only region active volcanoes have been found with glaciers except in Alaska ind South Polar lands.

THE PLATFORM.

> * ter to the American name and Increase the comfort of the American home. We command the candidates of the Republican party of the Nation as eminently worthy of the suffrage pf ar intelligent and patriotic people. 2. The Democratic party has often demonstrated its incapacity for govern men t«jn both national and State affairs. In Indiana, believing itself intrenched behipd a gerrymander of surpassing iniquity, it has shown a reckless disregard of the people's interest and welfare; Imposing intolerable burdens witboat benefit YVe therefore condemn the Democratic manigement of our,State affairs as incompetent, wasteful and In the tnterest of party managers, and direct attention especially to the subject hereafter mentioned. • 3. Debt and Democratic are synonymous terms with the tax-payers of Indiana. Unparallelled extravagance in public expenditures lias marked the course of Democracy in Indiana during the past decade, until the State is now burdened with a debt of $9,000,000. The current expenses of the State government have been radially increased by reckless management. The burdens thus Imposed have become too oppressive to be endured. Our progress as a people has been greatly impeded and the credit of the State will soon become seriously impaired unless radical changes in the conduct of our public business are speedily Introduced. Relief lies with the people, and we invite the voters of all political opinions to unite in turn iDg out of power the party that has always beep false to its pledges of economy and reform. 4 We arraign the Democratic ptrty of Indiana for enacting an unequal and unjust tax law. It Imposes upon the farmer, laborer and householder an excessive and
THEO. SHOCKNEY
amendments to the present tax law as shall relieve tho farmer and the home from the unjust taxation now borne by them; which shall place a just share of the public burden on capital and corporate property, and provide a more simple and expensive method of assessment. 5. We coudemn the action of the last Democratic Legislature in largely increasing the fees and salaries of the State and county officers. It made many public offices sinecures by providing for the performance of official duties by deputies, paid out of the public funds. 6. The law passed by tbejast Democratic Assembly, apportioning the State fdr legislative and Congressional purposes, was designedly and wickedly framed so as to deny to many counties and localities fair and equal representation in the legislative department of the State and Nation; to place and retain under Democratic control in this State all its public institutions and affairs, and to give that party an increased and unfair representation in Congress and the Legislature. Such a policy is dangerous and destructive of all good governments, and merits the condemnation of all patriotic people. And we now pledge tho Republican party to continue the warfare against this dishonest policy of the Democratic party, until the State shall be hon-

estly apportioned by giving to each county and locality its fair and equitable representation in proportion to its numbers. 7. We denounce the purpose of the Democratic party, clearly avowed on the National platform, to repeal the law imposing a 40 per cent, tax on State bank issues, and thus removing the only barrier to a return to the system of “wildcat” money, which once disgraced our State and large [y impoverished our people. 8. The Democratic party deserves the emphatic condemnation of every citizen of the State for its refusal to place our benevolent institutions upon, a non-partisan basis, when murder, cruelty, debauchery, fraud and incompetency mark that party’s management of mdrfy of these institutions; and for still persisting in retaining partisan control of the asylums of the helpless and unfortunate, that they may be made the coin in payment for party services. We, therefore, demand an absolute nonpartisan management of the benevolent and reformatory institutions of the State through boards, whose members shall be appointed by the Governor from, the different that they may be relieved from the present profligate management, 9. We favor the enactment by Congress of a law thrice recommended by President Harrison, compelling the use of standard safety car-:couplers for the protection of the lives and Hmbs of employes engaged In interstate commerce. The people in the employ or all railroad companies in this State form a large percentage of its population, and are justly entitled to such legislation as will place them on an equality with such corporations before tho law; and we are opposed to rail-
ways maintaining Insurance compan: ies by coercing their employes to become members of them. The employers of labor should be liable In damages for injuries to persons or destruction of life where the employer Is more at fault than! the* employe. We, alßo favor a law
governlng convict labor in the penal institutions of the State that will work the least possible injury to free labor. We are In sympathy with all well directed efforts of laboring men to improve their condition by. united action or otherwise, and pledge ourselves to. give them such legislation as will tend to 'advance the interests of wage-workers. 10. We most heartily indorse the generous pension laws enacted by Republicans in Congress, and congratulate the country that during the administration of President Harrison no pension bill has been vetoed. We demand that suitable and proper provisions be made for the care and maintenance of indigent soldiers and their wives and widows, to the end that no soldier, or the wife or widow of a soldier.si all ever bean inmate of a poor house in the State of Indiana; and that such provisions be made that tbe soldier, when overtaken by poverty or adversity, shall notin hisdeclining years be separated from the wife of his youth. We therefore advocate the establishment by the State, in connection with tbe Indiana departmee; of the Grand Army of RanuWic. •

It creates a great number of unnecessary offices hi t hor to unknown to law To the burden of taxation, already too heavy it adds more than one hundred thousand .dollars for the lfee3, salaries and expenses of these offices and officers.
