tanv as a clerk. Besides Fort Dearborn

and the residence of John Kinzie there was only one log cabin. Some years after

At a meeting of the relief committee at Charleston it was stated that it would take at least $1,000,000 to make necessary repairs upon the residences of the people, who are unable unaided to repair their homes.

WASDUSGTrOIf. The conscience fund of the Federal treasury has been increased by a contribution of $677 from New York, the amount of an error recently discovered in the payment of internal revenue tax It is held that the schedule of fees fixed in 1867 for attorneys and agents prosecuting claims before the Treasury Department is still in force. This protects widows and children of soldiers from extortion by claim agents. Secbstabt Manning's personal friends, says a Washington dispatch, assert that his decision to retire from the Treasury Department is final, and has been unchanged since he forwarded his resignation to the President. The latter was, and is now, averse to losing Mr. Manning from his official family, but he realizes the true condition of Mr. Manning's health, and therefore cannot conscientiously insist upon his remaining. As soon as Mr. Manning's physician diagnosed the case he announced that it would be almost as much as the patient's life was worth for him to attempt to tax his brain with the cares and responsibilities, to say nothing of the physical duties, of his position The issue of silver dollars from the mints for the week was $061,253, against $599,395 for the same period last year.

Acting Secbetabt Fairchild has issued a call for $15,000,000 of 3 per cent, imnds. What is commonly known as the

voluntary bond call, or the circular of Aug. 30, issued by the Treasury Department, offering to redeem uncalled 3 per cent, bonds to the amount of $10,000,000 if presented before Sept. 15, has been so modified as to offer to redeem, until further notice, all 3 per cent, bonds presented at the Treasury at par, and with accrued interest up to the date of redemption.

The Republicans of New Hampshire, in

convention at Concord, nominated Colonel

Charles H. Sawyer for Governor. A plat

form was adopted which favors "honest

money, as opposed to irredeemable paper

currency and an unlimited silver coinage;

the protection of American industry and

capital; universal education, and an honest

and economical adjustment of the aflairs

of both national and State governments.

The principal planks adopted advocate a

ten-hour law; the exemption of wages from

trustee process; the abolition of child labor

in manufacturing corporations, and the submission to the people of constitutional prohibitory amendments. President Cleve

land is arraigned for vetoing the pension

bills, and the Democratic party in Congress is censured for opposing the ex

tension of American commerce, and for

J. F. Meagher presided over the Minnesota

Democratic State Convention at St. Paul, at which the following ticket was nominated: Governor, Dr. A. A. Ames; Lieutenant Governor, John Frank; Secretary of State, Luth Jaeger; Auditor, J. G. Lundberg; Treasurer, Henry Poehrer; Attorney General, John H. Ives; Clerk Supreme Court, G. T. Gardner. The platform eulogizes President Cleve and's administration and denounces the Republican administration of State affairs. It demands a currency of gold and silver coin of equal value, and paper convertible into either. It favors a revision of the tariff and its adjustment to a revenue basis, and the elevation of the Commissioner of Agriculture to a cabinet minister. The labor plank favors an eight-hour system, the establishment of a State labor bureau, legislation to secure tne payment of wages, to improve the health and secure- the safety of employes, and provide indemnification for injuries received, to prohibit child and convict labor and the letting of public works by contract, to protect the people from usurers and tax-title sharks, and to govern the arbitration of labor disputes. The importation of foreign contract labor and all class and sumptuary legislation are denounced. Sympathy with the Irish patriots is expressed. A secret organization has been formed at Pittsburgh, Pa., for the sole puipose of purifying the polities of Pittsburgh and Allegheny City.

Putnam; Secretary of State, John C. Ludwig; Treasurer, Jonn A. Johnson; Attorney General, George W. Bird; Superintendent of Schools, Edward McLaughlin; Railroad Commissioner,

James Meehan; Insurance Commis

sioner, John Kerrel. The platform adopted commends the administra

tion of President Cleveland, approves the action of the House of Rep

resentatives in declaring forfeited unearned land grants, demands the abolition of the

convict contract labor system, opposes the

importation of foreign contract labor, declares the party opposed to all monopolies, declares that the reduction of tariff to a

revenue basis is a cardinal Democratic

principle, and that the Democratic Congressmen who voted against considering a bill for reduction of tariff deserve no recognition in Democratic councils. The plank on the temperance question is as follows: The intemperate and excessive use of intoxi

cating liquors ia earnestly to be deplored, and we believe the liquor traffic should be regulat-1

ed by reasonable and liberal license Jaws; but we regard the enactment of sumptuary or prohibitory laws, whether general or local, designed exclusively for the arbitrary regulation of the personal habits of the citizen, as an exercise of legislative power unwarranted by the Constitution, contrary to the fundamental prin

ciples of all free government, and justified by no practical results yet attained in the experi

ence of inanJuna.
