Londox, Aug. 24. The St. James Qa
zcilr. commenting on President Cleveland's
i. message to Congress, says: ''The position
. is aw kward anil unpleasant for both coun
tries. The retaliation threatened is so
illogical and unreasonable that it is very
difficult to understand its precise cause
and meaning. Two plausibU explaaa
tions occur. It may have been
intended to influence votes or
, merely to bluff Canada into granting the
American demands. There is no doubt
that the matter is a serious one for Cana
da. Not merely local affairs are con
cerned, but Imprrial interests are also in
volved. England must and will supply
proper safeguards for her Canadian inter
ests. We must await the next stop. It is
ditikult to see that the matter will end
otherwise than in a perfectly friendly
manner."
The lHobf. says President Cleveland
makes a strong case against Canada and
surmises that Canada will doubtless be
able to show equally as good a case. If the
, .. . l. . r. .. . .
Canadians had rejected tho treaty it
ICJfdCU
would be easy to see why Cleveland should
mk for retaliation. But it can not under
stand why Cleveland, generally a just
man. should punish Canadians for the act
of Americans. It asks if Mr. Cleveland is
affected by tho Irish vote.
The Pall Mail Gazette says it looks ugly.
The .Star, T. P. O'Connor's paper says it
has no fear of war over the matter, but it
is of the opinion that serious friction is
certain to result.
OPIXIOX AT OTTAWA.
Ottawa, Oat., Aug. 24. The announce
ment that the President had recommended
legislation empowering the abolition of
the bonding system has caused much sur
prise, more surprise than excitement. The
clause calling for equal privileges is in
every way satisfactory. It is held here that
at present no discrimination exists in favor
cf CanafURn vessels. The rights accorded
(junauian vessels in tne nz. v,iair riais
canal is a treaty obligation, which It is
claimed can not bo abrogated by legisla-
tion of either Nation. The Government
has already advertised for tenders and
made the necessary appropriation already
for a Canadian canal at Sault Ste. Marie
connecting Lakes Heron uud Superior,
( which will give connections to the ocean.
WHAT FISHERMEN THINK.
Gloucester, Mass.. Aug. 24. The Pres
ident's message was much commented on
by fishing vessel owners this morning. It
was the general opinion among business
, men that no one here wanted retaliation
as outlined in tho massage. An embargo
placed on Canadian lisli and the same
treatment as Americans receiva would be
all that would be required to settle the
' difficulty between the two countries. On
the other hand the men who man the vee-
sels are unanimous in their opinions that
what the President has proposed is just
right.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
Full Text or the Platform Adopted Lively
Fight Over a Submission Resolution The
New State Central Committee.
Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 24. The Republi
can State convention having been in ses
sion all night and completed the Stato
ticket, nt a quarter past two o'clock this
morning Mr. Hascall, of Douglas, chair
man of the committee on resolutions, sub
mitted the following as agreed upon by
the committee:
THE n.sTFORM.
The Kepublhans of Nebraska, by their dele
gates in convention assembled, declare their
unalterable devotion to the principle's estab
lished and exemplified by t'e succ ssf ul admin
istrations of Lificoln. Grant. Hayes. Garfield
and Arthur, and embodied in the platform of
the National convention lately held in Chicago,
upholding t' e National constitution, tho in-
J dissolubte union of the States with the aut n-
my reserved to them under the Constituion,
he personal rights and liberties of cit-iz-ns
in all the States and Territories,
and the supreme and sovereign right of every
cit'ren, ricli or poor, native or foreipn born,
vrhite or black, to c.t one free ballot in public
elections and to have that ballot duly counted,
aud the American system of protection against
the destruction proposed by the Presidcut and
hi. party.
They reassert their hostility to the introduc
tion to this country of foreign contract labor or
other labor alien to our civilization; their op
position to all combinations of capital, organ
ized in trusts or rools to control trade and fix
prices on an arbitrary basis, and demand thJ
requisite National and State legislation for the
suppression of the same and the removal of all
obstacle- to perfect freedom and independence
of American labor
They nrra'n the present Nat'onal Adminis
tration for its f.tilure to execute laws retiring
to settlers on th- public domain their title to
their homestead-: for its determined hostility
to the just claims of the invalid and destitute
soldiers and s-iilors who served in the army and
navy in the war for the preservation of the
Union: for its vvealc and inefficient foreign pol
icy, and for its effort to destroy the bi-metahc
system of currency and restore the snijle gold
standard for the sole benefit of importers and
money lenders.
They mo-t heartily indorse the nomination of
Benjamin Iiamon. th soldier and the states
man, for PresuWt. and of Levi I. Morton, tho
patriotic lus;ne-s man and philanthropist, for
Vice-President, and pledge the fall support of
the party in Nebraska
Th-v conCTatul ite the people of the State
upon the laws enaete.t through the efforts of
leading Republican in Congress and in the
State Leg.s'ature for the regulation of Inter
State rommerce and local railro-id transporta
tion, indorsing the action of the St.it" Bord of
Transportation thereunder, and pledge the
party.if continued in power, to the effectual exe
cution of these measures to prevent unjust di--crimioation
and ertoftlon in transportation
rates, and to the adoption of such amendments
to them that experience nrir show to be neces
siry for the accomplishment of the end in view
the general establishment of fair aud rta;ona
bl frei:ht and paser.ror rates
Th"y denounce the partisan injustice of the
Democratic majority in the lower house of
Cor.irress in closing the door of the Union to
emoro citizens or the United States, resident in
Dakota, and demand the prompt admission of
the southern half of that Territory as a State,
ia nccordance with all precedent and the unan
imous desire of it inhabitants.
The first concern of all pood government is
the virtue and obriety of the people and the
punty of their homes. The Republican party
cordially sympathizes with all wise ami well
directed efforts for the promotion of temper
ance and morality.
That home rule Is in accord with the princi
ples of the Republican party and the syiapa-tir.-!
with the p-ople of Ireland in their heroic
effort to secure that riaht.
They sincerely mourn the death of that ideal
Foldier. General Philip If. Sheridan, the cavalry
hero of the Union and the pnde of the Nation,
realizing that in his death the country loses one
of its brightest orn:ment. the soldier mourns a
most faithful comrade, and every patriotic citi
zen is bereft of one who was a tower of
strength, ever true to duty, honor and the flag
of his country.
Theyfuvor the enactment or a lawmaking
nine hours a legal day's work, making the first
Mondav in September in each year a legal lioli
dav to be known ss "Labor Dst." and prohibit
ing the iiiipiirt.it ion info the State of armed
men or associations of men for the purpose of
police duty.
As soon a Mr. Hascall concluded the
reading of the platform Mr. Brlerly, of
Perkins Count;.-, olTrredthefollowingreso
lution, which h- moved to attach to the
platform as a minority report:
Ii-rolenl. That the Republicans of Nebraska
assrrab'ed in convention deem it due the elec
tors of this State that the submission of the
Question. ''Shall the manufacture and sale ot
j intoxicating liquors as a beverage be pro-
hibiten? be made to the voters of the State.
This resolution was the cause of a lengthy
n:id somewhat acrimonious debate, which
occupied over four hours and heldthe con
vention until half past six in tho morning,
when it was finally adopted by a vote of
::i0 to 201. and the platform as amended by
the above resolution was adopted.

A Hartford (Conn.) woman who
jumped from a horse car before a full
stop was made, and with face to the
rear of the car, was thrown violently
to the ground. As the conductor
helped her up she remarked: "Itwasa

it was dangerous, but have always
been anxious to try the experiment."
A Faithful Guide.
Experience, with unerring finger, indi
cates the remedies which man should use.
The enlightened rely upon her, the ignorant
and credulous abjure her guidance, and are
misled by charlatanism and bombast. For
many years Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
has been achieving victories over disease,
which are recorded in testimony from thou
sands of the debilitated, nervous, dyspeptic,
bilious aud malaria-persecuted.

BITTERS
One ef the nest important roinsef Ui
human My is the LIVER. When it fails to
rtserly perform its functions the entire
system becomes teranfee'. The BRAIN.
KIDNEYS, STOMACH, BOWELS, all refus
to perform their work. DYSPEPSIA. CON
STIPATI0N, RHEUMATISM, KIDNEY DIS
EASE, etc., are the results, unless some
thing is done to assist Nature in throwing
off the impurities caused by inaction ef a
TORPID LIVER. This assistance so ne
cessary will be found in
Prickly Ash Bitters !
It acts directly on the LIVER, STOMACH
and KIDNEYS, and by its mild and cathartic
effect and f eneral tonic qualities restores
these organs to a sound, healthy condition,
and cures all diseases arising from these
causes. It PURIFIES THE BLOOD, tones
up tho system, and restores perfect health.
If your druggist does not keep it ask him to
order it for you. Send 2c stamp for copy of
"THE HORSE TRAINER," published by us.
