THE TLATFOUM.
The democratic party of Ohio in
State convention assembled, renews its
pledges of devotion to the Union and
Constitution with amendments. It de
clares a3 essential to the preservation of
free government faithful adherence to
the following principles: Strict con
stitution, home rule, supremacy of civ
il over military power, seperation of
Church and state, equality of all citi
zens before the law, liberty of individ
ual action unvexed oy sumptuary laws
absolute acquiesence in the lawfully
expressed will of the majority, oppos
ition to alfcsubsides, preservation of pub
lic lands to the use of actual settlers, the
maintainance and perfecting of the
common school system.
Pertinent to the issues now pending
before the people.
1. Resolved, That we look upon
the inauguration of R, B. Hayes to the
high office of President of the United
States, in spite of the majority of the
electoral and popular vote given by
the people to Samuel J. Tilden, as the
most dangerous encroachment, upon
popular rights that has ever been at
tempted in this or any other free coun
try; a repetition of the fraud will not
be tolerated.
2. The destruction of the industry
of the country and pauperism of labor
are the inevitable fruits of the vicious
laws enacted by the Republican par-
ty.
3. As a measure of relieving the
distressed portions of the community
and removing the great stringency
eomplained of in business circles, we
demand the immediate repeal of the
resumption act.
4. That we denounce as an outrage
upon the rights of the people the en
actments of the republican measure
demonetizing silver, and demand the
passage of a law which shall restore
silver to its monetary power.
5. That we favor the retention of
the greenback currency as the best
paper money that we have ever had
and declare against any further con
traction. 0. We congratulate the country up
on the acceptance by the present Ad
ministration of the constitutional and
pacific policy of local self government
in States South, so long advocated by
the Democratic part-, and which has
brought peace and harmony to that
section of the Union.
1. The registry law framed by the
last Legislature is burdensome and
expensive, and discriminates unjustly
against the poorer class of voters, and
we therefore demand its immediate re
peal. 8. "We favor tariff for revenue
only.
9. We favor the issue, by the Gen
eral Government alone, of all circulat
ing mediums, whether paper or metal
ic. to be always of equal tender and in
controvertible. 10. That we condemn acts of the
Federal Administration in using regu
lar troops of the United States to inter
fere with elections and other political
affairs of the States, as unconstitution
al, unlawful, unjustifiable and destruc
tive of the rights of the people and
States.
11. We reccommend the ticket this
day formed by the convention, to the
favorable consideration and support of
all citizens of the state.

Ye Local Reporter.
From the Inter Ocean.
It is not generally 3upposedthat the
reportorial profession offers many
chances for unadulterated elory. The
English newspaper correspondent does
occasionally obtain a decoration from a
monarch of a petty state, accustomed
to sling around crosses as a mission
ary distributes tracts but otherwise
the chances are few and far between
The Chicago riot has, however, offered
chances to the adventurous reporter
which occur but seldom in a life-time
and of which he has not been slow to
avail himself. The very moment that
the tocsin of war summoned from
their lair the blue-coated yoemen of
the eruard. the Chicago reporter buck
led on his armor. Grasping his pencil
firmly in his dexter hand, swallowing
hastily a Richard III. luncheon-cheese
sandwich and a glass of Beer bidding
a hasty adieu to the maiden of his
choice, he plunged manly into the
thickest of the fray. "What was dan
ger to him ; what brick-bats, clubs, or
miscelaneou3 bullets; what cared he
that the mob reviled him, that they
tore his last summer's duster, or sent
the daylight streaming through the
hat that he wore during the last cam
paign. He thirsted for glory or the
grave.for f ame'sleternal campingground
or a place among the forty immortals.
He got them all; he won his spurs; he
came, he saw, he conquered. "What he
did not behold was not worth behold
ing. As he sat upon the table which
ht has dedicated to the muses on the
peaceful afternoon of yesterday with
his nose pretty well healed, a patch
over his left eye, and the chasm in his
head doing finely, telling his story, he
only waited for some Desdemona to
come along with a pile of money and
love him for the dangers he had pass
ed. Mayhap he fancied he heard the
voice of that Desdemona, and awaken
ed to find it only the city editor asking
him to polish up that nose a bit, and
look sharp for a sermon at 11. But
such is glory.
Hayes on Red Soldiers.
President Hayes is reported to have
said, the oLher day, that Indians could
not be introduced in the army, in any
extended way, with efficiency. He ad
ded: "I had three Indians in my corps.
As scouts they were unequaled. "We
could do nothing with them as soldiers.
They would not di ill, they would not
keep rank, they would do nothing ex
cept in the;r wild Indian way. We
were troubled by a sharp-shooter who
had picked off our men. and we could
not reach him. I.sent for one of these
scouts. He came to mv camp in a
louchy way, seemed half asleep, and
was wholly inuiuerent. nen i tola
him what I wanted, his face glowed,
;is eyes sparkled and he straightened
himself up like a crested snake ready
to strike, rolled his trousers up to his
thighs, his sleeves to his shoulder
blades to be as much of a savage as
possible. He took his rifle, several
rounds of ammunition, threw himself
on the grass before there wasa'iy need
of it, and wound himself along with
the Telocity and silence of a snake.
Three shots brought the sharp-shooter
down, when the scout returned per
fectly exhilcrated. Ex.
Lemon Juice.
A physician writing to the London
Lancet, says few people know the val
ue of lemon juice. He says a piece of
lernon bound upon a corn will cure it
in a few days. It should be renewed
night and morning.
He says a free use of lemon juice
and sugar will always relieve a cough.
He says that most people feel poorly
in the spring, and take medicine for
relief, but if they would eat a lemon
before breakfast every day for a week,
with or without sugar, as they like,
they would find it better than any
medicine.
He says that lemon juice used ac
cording to a given recipe, will cure
consumption, even after all the doctors
have given them up, as not to be bene
fited. This is his prescription ; Put a doz
en lemons into cold water and slowly
bring to a boil. Boil slowly until the
lemons are soft, but not too soft, then
squeeze until the juice is extracted,
add sugar to your-taste. and drink. In
this way use one dozen lemons a day.
If they cause pain, or loosen the bow
els too much, lessen the quantity and
use only five or six a day, until you
are better, and then begin again with a
dozen a day. After using five or six
dozen, the patient will begin to gain
flesh and enjoy food. Hold on to the
lemons, and still use them freely sever
al weeks more.
He says: We know that if any
thing on earth can cure you, this will.
We have had patients who were in
the last stages of consumption, and
given over by excellent physicians,
who were restored to health by simply
following these directions. Only pre
pare the lemon as here directed, use
them freely for several weeks, and you
will soon be well.
Another us-3 of lemon is for a re
freshing driuk in summer, or in sick
ness at ar.y time. Prepare as directed
above, add water and sugar. But in
order to have this keep well, after
boHing the lemons, squeeze them and
strain carefully, then to every half-pint
of juice add one pound of loaf or crush
ed sugar, boil and stir a few minutes
more, until the sugar is dissolved, then
skim carefully and bottle. You will
get more juice from the lemons by
boiling them, also it keeps better.

Ulittdng by Machinery.
From tbe Beading Eagle.
Hard labor is gradually being super
seded by machinery in nearly every
branch of industry. It is curious to
mark the unlikely uses to which ma
chinery may be applied. An ingenious
inventor in the United States has re
cently patented a useful device in the
shape of a cow-milking machine, which,
it is said, will do all that can be done
in milking by hand, faster and better,
and will be of special service where
cows have sore teats or are hard milk
ers. The apparatus consists essentially
of a glass globe, large enough to hold
an average yield of milk, which is con
nected by means of a flexible tube with
an air pipe. Rising from the top of
the globe are small pipes with metal
tips. The mode of operation consists
in suspending the globe underneath
the animal to be milked, and inserting
the tips of the small tubes in to the
teats. A partial vacum is then effected
inside the globe by means of the air
pump; and the milk thus drawn forth.
The advantages claimed by the in
vention are that it prevents any loss of
milk through spilling, it renders milk
or straining pails unnecessary and pre
vents entrance of dirt. Finally, it can
be easily manipulated by anybody.
Shad for the Upper Mississippi.
From the St. Taul Piess.
Yesterday morning, by the 6 o'clock
train, Mr. II. E. Quinn and Mr. C. W.
Schuermann, both United States Fish
Commissioners of Washington, arrived
in St. Paul, bringing with them 100,-
000 shail, which they deposited in the
Missisippi River, at the foot of Jack
son street. These nsn were urougnt
all the way from South Hadley Fal!s,
Mass., by these gentlemen, wrho had to
sit up with them all night and change
the water every two hours, and watch
the temperature of the atmosphere, as
at no time during all the days and
nights they were on the road was the
temperature allowed to go above C5
or befow 00. If the temperature had
been allowed to get above or below
these figures it would have been death
to the fish. These two gentlemen took
turns attending to this business of
changing the water and watching the
temperature. This they did for three
days and n'ghts, as they came over the
road from South Hadley. As above
stated, they arrived here at 6 o'clock
yesterday morning and, without wait
ing, took the fish off the train and put
them into the river. These fish, as'
they are called, are about one-quarter
of an inch in length, and look like so
many animated hairs. Looking down
into the cans in which they came, all
that can be seen is an apparently innu
merable number of little black hairs,
with two black dots at one end of each,
the bodies were transparent. The
journey of these gentlemen must be
called a success, judging from the
number and vigorous condition of the
fry brought safely thraugh the trip of
three days and nights, and, considering
the hot weather and distance traveled,
great credit is due the gentlemen in
charge for their , care and attention,
which results in success. They return
ed East yesterday.
How to keep Well.
The remedy for summer diseases, by
whatever name, is: Eat, less. We do
not mean that you shall starve your
selves, or deny yourself what you like
best, for as a general rule, what you
like best is best for you ; you need not
abandon the use of tea or coffee, or
meat or anything else you like, but
simply, eat less of them. Do not starve
yourself, do not reduce the quantity of
food to an amount which would scarce
ly kftep a chicken alive, but make a
beginning by not going to the table at
all, unless you feel hungry; for if you
once get there, you will begin to taste
this and that and the other, by virtue
of mustard, or syrup,' or cake or some
thing nice. Thus a fictitious appetite
is waked up, and before you know it
you have eaten a hearty meal. The
second step toward the effectual pre
vention of all summer complaints, and
the like is: Diminish th6 amount of
food consumed at each meal, by one
fourth of each article. If you have
taken two biscuits, or slices of bread,
take one and a half ; if you have taken
two spooiifulls of rice, or hominy or
cracked wheat, or grits or farina, take
one and a half; if you have taken a
certain or uncertain quantity of meat,
diminish in proportion as the weather
becomes wanner, until you have no
unpleasant feelings of any kind after
your meals, and until you have not
eaten so much at one meal, but that
when the next one comes, you shall
feel decidedly hungry. Hall's Journal
of Health.
Disconrnging to Native Talent.
Burlington Ha'wkeye"
An entomologist from Xew Hamp
shire who has been traveling through
Northwestern Iowa for two weeks
past, writes back to a Xnv York paper
that he has seen the grasshoppers
washed into the Des Moines River un
til they formed a putrifying scum
three inches thick. It is awfully dis
couraging to our native liars to have
this imported talent come out from the
cultivated East and get away with
them.
At Platlsmouth the hotel proprietors
won't let the horny handed granger en
ter the dining room unless he has on
his coat 1 and a collar. Whereat the
yeomen are indignant and talk back
through the Herald. Out here the
farmers walk right into the hotels just
as free as though they owned them
and two waiters are assigned to each
of them. Eastern farmers who don't
care to bend to their arristocratic tav
ern keepers, should make a note of this
and emigrate soon Ext .
