republicans took part in the proceedings of
the senate on the 2d. Ninety-five measures
were brought up , of which forty were

GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS DROWNED.
Private telegrams received in. this
city and Baltimore from Benjamin , an
employe of the light house service , dated
Dayton Florida , June 2 , via. Astoria ,
Florida , announcing that General 0. E.
Babcock , engineer of the Fifth lieht house
district ; Levi P. Lockey , his chief clerk
( formerly assistant private secretary of
President Grant , ) and Benjamin P. Suter ,
of "Washington , were drowned Saturday in
Mosquito inlet , off the coast of Florida ,
while superintending the work on a lieht
house being erected at that point. The
iody of Babcock only was discovered.
THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
The bulletin announcing the pur
port of the republican platform relative to
the tariff , adopted at Chicago , created more
interest among members of the house than
any other bulletin from Thursday's meet
ing of the convention. Mr. Morrison says
the plank means that the republicans will
keep all they have got and get all they can.
That they will raise the tax on tin plate ,
cotton ties , and a few other things. Mr.
Carlisle says , "The action of the conven
tion is the completest riddle of the ques
tion. "
[ DETAILS OF BABCOCK'S DEATH.
The secretary of war has received
the following details of the drowning of
Gen. Babcock : Gen. Babcock , with the
clerks of the Fifth and Sixth lighthouse
districts , arrived on the tender Pharos off
Mosquito inlet June 2d. A whalebo t ,
with seven men , went off to him about 7
o'clock. On her return Babcock and party
embarked in her to come ashore. On the
outer bar breakers the steering oar was
broken , and the boat filled and capsized.
The general held on to the boat until she
reached the shore breakers , when he and
all hands were torn from the boat , and he ,
with three others , were drowned.
THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
As Unanimously Adopted by the National
Convention in Chicago.
The republicans of the United States , in
national convention assembled , renew their
allegiance to the principles upon which they
have triumphed in six successive presiden
tial elections and congratulate the American
people on the attainment of so many results
in legislation and administration , by which
Y the republican party has , after saving the
union , done so mnch to render its institu
tions ] H6t , equal and beneficient ; the safe
guard of liberty and the embodiment of the
best thought and highest purposes of our
citizens. The republican party has gained
its strength by quick and faithful response
to the demands of the people for freedom
and the equality of men , for a united nation-
assuring the rights of all citizens , for the
elevation of labor , for an honest currency ,
for purity In legislation , and for Integrity
and accountability in nil departments of the
government ncl it accepts anew the du'y o
leading In the work of progress and reform.
Wo lament the death of [ 'resident Garfield ,
whoso sound KtttcsmanBhip long consplclom
in congress gave promise of a strong anc
successful administration , a promise fully
realized during the short period of bin office
as President of the Unit-id States. Ills dis
tinguished HUCCtHH in war and peace have
endeared him to the hearts of the American
people. In the adm nistration of President
Arthur we recognize a wise , conHcrvativc
and patriotic policy , under which the coun
try has bcon blessed with remarkable pros
perity. We believe bis services are entiled
to and will receive the hearty approval of
every citizen.
It is the first duty of a good government
to protect the rights and promote the inter
ests of its own people. The largest diversity
of industry is most productive of general
prottperity. "We , therefore , demand that
the imposition of duties on foreign imports
shall be made , not for revenue only , but
that in raiding the requisite revenues lor
the government , such duties shall be so
levied as to afford security to our diversi
fied industries and protection to the rights
and.wages of the laborer , to the end that
active'and intelligent labor , as well aa cap
ital , may have its just reward and the la
boring man his full share in the national
prosperity. Against the so-called eco
nomic system of the democratic party ,
which would degrade our labor to the for
eign standard , we enter our earnest pro
test. The democratic party has failed com
pletely to relieve our people of the burden
of unnecessary taxation by a wise reduction
of surplus. The republican party pledges
itself to protect the inequalities of the tar
iff and to reduce the surplus , not by the
vicious and indiscriminate process of hori
zontal reduction , but by such methods as
will relieve the taxpayer without injuring
the laborer or the great productive inter
ests of the country-
"We recognize the importance of sheep
husbandry in the United States , the seri
ous depression which it is now experienc
ing and the danger threatening its future
prosperity , and we therefore respect the
demand of the representatives of this im
portant agricultural interest for a readjust
ment of duty upon foreign wool , in order
that such industry shall have full and ade
quate protection.
We have always recommended the best
money known to the civilized world , and
we urge that efforts should be made to unite
all commercial nations in the establishment
of an international standard which shall fix
for all the relative value of gold and silver
coinage.
The regulation of commerce with foreign
nations and between the states is one of the
most important prerogatives of the general
government , and the republican party dis
tinctly announces its. purpose to support
such legislation as will fully and efficiently
carry out the constitutional power of con
gress over inter-state commerce. The prin
ciple of the public regulations of railroad
corporations is a wise and salutary one for
the protection of all classes of the people ,
and we favor such legislation as shall pre
vent unjust discrimination and excessive
charges for transportation , and that shall
secure to the people and the railways alike
the fair and equal protection of the law.
We favor the establishment of a national
bureau of labor , the enforcement of the
eight hour law , a wise and judicious system
of general education by adequate appro
priation from the national revenues , where-
over the same is needed. We believe that
everywhere the protection to a citizen of
American birth must be secured to citizens
by American adoption , and we favor the
settlement of national differences by inter
national arbitration. The republican party ,
having its birth in a hatred of slave labor
and a desire that all men may be free and
equal , is unalterably opposed to placing our
workingmen in competition with any form
of servile labor , whether at home or abroad.
In this spirit we denounce contract labor ,
whether from Europe or Asia , as an offense
against the spirit of American institutions ,
and we pledge ourselves to sustain the pres
ent law restricting Chinese immigration and
to provide such further legislation as is nec
essary to carry out its purposes.
The reform of the civil service so auspic
iously begun under republican administra
tion should be completed by the further ex
tension of the reformed system already
established by law to all the grades of the
service to which it is applicable. The spirit
and the purpose of the reform should be
observed in all extensive appointmentsand
all laws at variances with the objects of ex
isting reformed legislation should be re
pealed , to the end that the dangers to free
institutions which lurk in the power of of
ficial patronage may be wisely and effective
ly avoided.
The public lands are a heritage of the people
ple of the United States , and should be re
served as far as possible for small holding
by actual settlers. We are opposed to the
acquisition to large tracts of these lands by
corporations or individuals , especially where
such in the hands of
holdings are nonresident
dent aliens , and we will endeavor to obtain
such legislation as will tend to correct this
iVil.
iVil.We
We demand of congress the speedy for
feiture of all land grants which have lapsed
by reason of non compliance with acts of
incorporations , in all cases where there has
been no attempt in good faith to perform
the conditions ot such grants.
The grateful thanks of the American reo-
ple are due to the union soldiers and sailors
of the late war , and the republican party
stands pledged to suitable pensions for all
who were disabled and for the widows and
orphans of those who died in the war. The
republican party also pledges itself to the
repeal of the limitation contained in the ar
rears act of 1879 , so that all invalid soldiers
shall share alike and their pensions begin
with the date of disability or discharge and
not with the date of the application.
The reuublican party favors a policy
which shall keep us from entangling alli
ances with foreign nations and which gives
us the right to expect that foreign nations
shall refrain from meddlingin American af
fairs. The policy which seeks peace can
trade with all i ewers , but especially with
those of the western hemisphere.
We demand the restoration of our navy to
.ts old time strength and efficiency , that it
may in any sea protect the rights of Ameri
can citizens and the interests of American
commerce , and we call upon congress tore-
move the burden under which American
shipping has been depressed , so that it may
again be true that we have a commerce
which leaves no sea unexplored , and a navy
which takes no law from superior force.
Resolved , That appointment by the pres
ident of officers in the territories should be
raad from the bona fide citizens and resi
dents of the territories wherein they are to
serve.
Resolved , That it is the duty of congress
to enact such laws as shall promptly and
effectually suppress the system of polygamy
within our territories , and divorce the
political from the ecclesiastical power of the
so-called Mormon church , and that the law
so enacted should be rigidly enforced by the
civil authorities if possible , and by the mil
itary authorities if need be. The people of
the United States , in their organized capac-
ty , constitute a nation and not a mere con
federacy of states. The national govern
ment is supreme within the sphere of its
nation's duty , but the states have reserved
rights which should be faithfully main
tained. Each should be guarded with jeal
ous care so that government" may be pre
served and the union kept inviolate.
Resolved , That the perpetuity of our in
stitutions rest upon the maintenance of a
rec ballot , and honest and correct returns.
We denounce the fraud and violence prac-
iced by the democracy in southern states ,
by which the will of the voter is defeated ,
as dangerous to the preservation of free in
stitutions , and we solemnly arraign the
democratic party as being the guilty recip-
ent of the fruits of such fraud and violence.
Rf solved. That we extend to the republi
cans of the south , regardless of theirfurmer
arty affiliations , our cordial sympathy , and
ledge to them our most earnest efforts to
remote the passage of such legislation as
will secure every citizen , of whatever race
and color , the full and complete recogni
tion , possession and exorcise of all civic and
political rights.
There were Interruptions of aprlause. al
the points am roving the president's admin
istration ; declaring duties on Imports
should bo made not for revenue only ;
claiming full and adequate' protection for
sheep husbanding ; recommending legisla
tion to regulate the railways ; disapproving
the importation of contract labor , whether
from Europe or Asia ; favoring the civil ser
vice law ; condemning the acquisition of
large tracts of land , especially by nonresident
dent aliens ; declaring the policy of non
interference with foreign nations and that
foreign nations shall refrain from inter
meddling in American affairs ; for the en
forcement of the laws against polygamy ,
and condemning the fraud and violence of
the democracy in the southern states.
The Friends.

Jacobs Oil , the great pain-cure , and by
its continued use , in a short lime , was
completely cured.
A VAGABOND'S CRIME.
The City of Kearney startled by the Deed
of a Villainous Father.
A Kearney special of the 27th says :
Between 10 and 11 o'clock last night this
city was startled and thunderstruck by
another terrible tragedy that is not fre
quently equalled in enormity in criminal
annals. For some time there has been a
German family residing here named Koe-
beck. The husband was a worthless vaga
bond , occasionally doing odd jobs around
town , but wasted the major part of his time
in idleness. He was possessed of a most
brutal disposition , especially toward his
family , and on many occasions displayed
his brutality by beating his wife and chil
dren wittout any apparent cause. About
three months ago she was obliged to leave
him en account of his dissolute habits and
extreme cruelty. Last night , at the
time stated above , he made his ap
pearance at her home. Becoming
alarmed at his peculiar actions she
took one of her sons and started to
leave the house. She had walked but a
short distance when cries of her other son
caused her to return. He was beatine'the
boy when she appeared. As soon as he
saw her he drew a revolver and emptied
four chambers into her body , one ball pass
ing through her head. Koebeck then
rushed into the house and cut his own
throat , and will undoubtedly die , thereby
saving his infernal neck from the halter.
That the act was premeditated there is not
the slightest doubt , as he entered the
house fully prepared for the devilish deed.
LATKR. Mrs. Koebeck is lyinp in a crit
ical condition. The ball passed through
her head in front of the lower part of the
ear and came out on the other side. Koe
beck 's attempt at suicide will prove inef
fectual. He partially severed the wind
pipe. He was arrested and lodged in jail.
Headache is Immediately relieved by the use of
Plso'J Remedy for Catarrh.
Too Mnch Worldliness.
Austin Sheldon , the famous old her
mit of Pike county , Pa. , who three
months ago abandoned his cave in the
rocks , where he had lived for forty-
three yerrs , to go to Connecticut , where
wealthy relatives were to care for him ,
has returned to his den in the rocks.
The-old man , now 83n says he cannot
stand the frivolity and the worldliness
of life among men , and has returned to
die in the solitude by which for so many
long years he has been surrounded.
Sheldon is a quiet student of the
bible and repeats whole pages with re
markable facility. He was jilted early
in life aud this sorrow led him to be
come a hermit after ten years' wander
ing over the entire continent. He is
an intelligent and learned man , al
though a blacksmith in his youth. He
has no bed in his cave but always
sleeps in an old rocking chair.
