The representatives of the Democratic parly f the Uuited States in National Convention as sembled do reaffirm their allegiance to the principles of the party as for mulated by Jefferson aud exemplified and illustrated by tbe line of bis suc cessors inDemocralic leadersbip from Mndisou to Cleveland. We believe that the public welfare demands (bat these principles be applied to tbe conduct of tbe Federal erovorninei t through tbe accession to power of tbe party that advocates them, and we solemnly declare that tbe n ed of a return to tbe fundamental princi ples of free, popular government, based on home rule and individual liberty, was never more urgent than now, when tbe tendency to centralize all power at tbe Federal capitol has become a menace to the reserved rights of the States that ftrikes the very roots of our goveumtut under tbe Constitutions as framed by tbe fathers of tbe republic. THE FORCE BILL. Sec. 2. We ware tbe people of our common country, jealous for the preservation of their free institutions, that the policy of Federal control, of elections, to which the Republican party has committed itself, is fraught with tbe erravest dancers, scarcely ess momentous than would result from a revolution practically estab lishing raonarcby on tbe riiins of the Republic. It strikes at tbe North as well as the South and injures the colored citizen even more than tbe white ; it means a horde of deputy marshals at every polling place arm ed wilh Federal power, returning boards appointed and controlled by Federal authority, tbe outrage of the electoral rights of the people in the several Mates, the subjugation of the coloied people to the control of the party in power aud the reviving of raco antagonism, now happily abated, of tbe utmost peril to the safety and happiness of ail ; a measure deliber ately and justly described by a lead ing Republican Senator as "the most infamous bill that ever crossed the threshold of the Senate." "Such a policy, if sai.ctioned by law, would mean tbe dominance of a self-perpetuating oligarchy of office holders, and the party first intrusted with its machinery could be dis- . . . . . . lodged from power only by an ap- neal to tbe reserved richts of tbe people to resist oppression, " vhiclj ;g inherent in all self-governing lm- munities. "Two yearB ago this revolutionary policy was emphatically condemned by tbe people at the polls ; but in contempt of that verdict the Repub lican party has defiantly declared in it latest authoritative utterance that its success in tbe coming elections will mean the enactment of the Force bill and the usurpation of despotic control over elections in all the Slates. 4.1 Believing that tbe preservation of Republican Government in tbe Unit- rl StntAH is dependent nnon the de- l L feat of this policy of legalized force ari j frul1j wn iriT;ifi f1lfl ennnort nf " - - 7 - r i - all citicOns who desire to see the Constitution maintained in its integ rity with the laws pursuant thereto, which bavegiven our country ahun dred years of unexampled prosperity, aud we pledge the Democratic party, if it be intrusted with uower.not only to tbe defeat of tbe Force bill, but also to relentless opposition to tbe I Republican policy of profligate ex- i ... . - . uflBJ.nif onncft I pendltUre W I1ICD, 111 ID0 8UO11 space of two years, has squandered an enormouB surplus and emptied an ovei flowing treasury, after piling new burdens of taxation upon the jalready overtaxed labor of the coun- try.

TRUSTS AND COMBINATIONS. ''Sec. 5. We recognize in the trusts aud combinations, which are design ed to enable capital to secure more than its just share of the joint pro duct of capital and labor, a natural consequence of the prohibitive taxes which prevent the tree competition which is the life of honest trade, but we believe their woret evils can be abated by law, and we- demand tbe rigid enforcement of the laws made to prevent and control them, togeth er with sucb further legislation in restraint of their abuses as experi ence may show to be necessary. THE PUBLIC DOMMX. "Sec. G The Republican party, while professing a policy of reserv ing the public land for small hold ings by actual settlers, has given away the people's heritage, till now a few railroad and non resident aliens, individual and corporate, possess a larger area than that of all our farms between the two seas. "The last Democratic Administra tion reversed the improvident and unwise policy of the Republican par ty toucbing the public domain, and reclaimed from corporations and syndicates, alien and domestic, and restored to the people nearly one hundred million acres of valuable land to be sacredly held as home steads for ouieitizenp,and we pledge curse ves to continue this policy until every acre of land so unlawful" ly held shall be reclaimed and re stored to the people. TUE SILVEB QUESTION. "Sec. 7. We denounce tbe Repub lican legislation kuown as the Sher man act of 1890 as a cowardly make shift, fraught with possibilities of danger in the future which should make nil of its supporters, as well as its author, anxious for its speedy repeal. "We hold to the use of both gold and silver as the standard mony of the country, and to the coinage of both gold and silver without dis criminating against either metal or charge for mintage, but the dollar unit of coinage of both metals must be of equal intrinsic and exchangea ble value or be adjusted through international agreement or by such safeguards of legislation as shall in- sure the maintenance of the parity of l.t l l 1 1 1 1 - .

' Sec. 10. The Democratic party is the only party tbat has ever given tbe country a foreign policy consis tent and vigorous, compelling res pect abroad and inspiring confidence at borne. While avoiding entangling alliances, it has aimed to cultivate friendly relation with other nations and especially with our neighbors on ' i the American contiment whose dess ia inQPlc linked with our own.

"We tender our profound and earnest sympathy to those lover of freedom who are struggling for home rule and the great cause of local self government in Ireland. PAUPEB AKE CHINESE IMMIGBASTIOS. "Sec. 12. We heartily approve all legitimate efforts to prevent tbe United States from being used as the dumping ground for tbe known criminals and professional paupers of Europe, and we demand the rigid enforcement of the laws against Chinese immigration or the importa tion of foreign workmen under con tract to degrade American labor and lessen its wages, but we condemn and denounce any and all attempts to restrict the immigration of tbe industrious and worthy of foreign lands. fENSIOXS. "Sec. 13. This convention hereby renews the expression of appreciation of the patriotism of the soldiers and sailors of the Union in tbe war for its preservation, and we favor just and liberal pensions for all disabled Union soldiers, their widows and de pendents, but we demand that the work of tbe Pension Office shall be one industriously, impartially and honestly. "We denounce the present adrain istration of that office as incompe tent, corrupt, disgraceful and dis honest. THE GREAT WATERWAYS. "Sec. 14. The Federal Govern ment should care for and improve the Mississippi River and other great waterways of tbe Republic, so as to secure for tbe interior States easy an cheap transportation to tbe tide water "When any waterway of tbe Re public is of sufficient importancce to demand tbe aid of tbe Government that sucb aid should be extended by a definite plan of continuous work until permanent improvement is se cured. THE NICARAGUA CANAL- "Sec. 15. For purposes of national defense and the promotion of com merce between tbe States, we rocog niie the early construction of tbe - T 1 Nicaragua v,anai, its protection against loreign control as of great importance to the United States the Columbian exposition. "Sec. 16.

We favor legislation by Congress and State Legislatures to protect the lives and limbs of rail way employees and those of other hazardous 'ransportation companies and denounce the inactivity of tbe Republican party, and particularly the Republican Senate, for causing the defeat of measures beneficial and protective to this class of wage workers. MISCELLANEOUS. "Sic. 20 We are in favor of the enactment by the S ates of laws for abolishing tbe notorious sweating system, for abolishing contract con vict labor and for prohibiting the employment in factories of children under fifteen years of age. "Sec. 2 . We are opposed to all -umptuary laws as an interference with the individual rights of the cit izen. "Sec. 22. Upon this statement of principles and policies the Demo cratic party asks the intelligent judgement of the American people. It asks a change of administration and a change of party in order tha' there may be a change of system and a change of methods, thus assuring the maintenance, unimpaired.Jof in stitutions under which tbe Republic has grown great and powerful."

One of the hardeet things for a woman to do is to pass a milliner's window without stopping. One of tbe hardest things for a preacher to dc is to preaeh a short sermon when he has a good audi ence. One of the hardest thiags for a boy to do is to pass a dog without stoniog him. One of the hardest things for a sin ner to do is to understand why God oves him. One of the hardeet things anybody can do is to try to serve God without religion. Une of tne nardest tilings a man can do is to get the last word when he talks with a woman.

A PRIZE LETTER. N. Y. World "Manage ?" What is that ? Does it mean to control ? We manage horse. We use our superior human intellect to control and guide his superior physical strength so as to obtain tbe best results. But a wife is not a horse. Where two persons are well married the wife is superior to her husband in as many respects as he is superior to her in others. If happiness is to be the result of the union the first business of the hus band is to manage himself so as to keep himself always his wife's re spectful friend, always her tender lover, always her equal partner, always her superior protector. This will necessarily stimulate the wife to be always an admiring friend, alway an affectionate sweetheart, always a thrifty housewife, always a confid ing ward. And this will so reac upon tbe husband tbat his love for his wife will grow so as to make easy for the husband, with all his faults, to bear with all the infirmi ties of his "one and only" wife. A.

Had the forces which favored tho nomination been managed with half the consumale skill tbat character ized th6 handliog of the opposition there would have been no such strug gle as that which resulted in the nomination of Mr. Cleveland by so small an excess of number of votes required. Tammany's motives in opposing Mr. Cleveland were con demned, but Tammany's methods in conducting its last desperate effort to work its will evoked the admira tion of every politician For three hours every artifice, every argument, every frenz'.ed pro test almost culminating in physical resistance in one instance was used by Tammay, and even its. enemies were compelled to applaud with un sparing hand a ' generalship which or a time menaced the will of the majority. In all the history of politics it is doubtful if such genius of political management was ever displayed in the manipulation of a campaign, and after the espisodes of last night there can be no question of Tammany's genius. 1 he contest will never be forgot ten by those who witnessed it. Lieut-Gov. Sheeban ran from dele- ganon 10 delegation as eacu was called an. I berred his friends to tand firm. Most of the other New York men, too, were scattered here and there urging the delegates to eep their pledges. The figures came out to their satisfaction everr tinie, and they were keeping the Cleveland vote below the mark till North Dakota was reached. Its six otes they counted as sure, but North Dakota left them and took its place on the Cleveland side. There had been gains and losses before tbat. but they had almost exactly counter balanced. Now, however, there was othing to make up this and the osses accumulated. Arizona they bad tlso counted upon, but Arizona bad tbe power to nominate Mr. Cleveland and Aiizona nominated. After that the other Territories wheeled into line and the great interest in the convention was over. Sheeban eat down almost in a eol- apsed condition. He had lost the greatest fight in his life. His face was drawn and pale. He looked de- acted and worn out. For a week he had been constantly laboring, spend" ng his days and nights in arguing with strangers, in attending confer ences, in laying plans and bearing tbebiuntof all attacks, and now, suddenly, the reaction had come and be was unable to do anything but ook about him hopeless and almost dazed. Richard Croker's swarthy face was beaded with perspiration and there was a tremble to his lips. His hand was on the chair in front of him and he neither moved nor looked else where than straight ahead. Edward Murphy's usually good natured, jolly face was angry, and Gen. Dan Sickles was boiliDjr over and using military language. Gen. Slocum was standing in bis place as though half determined to a. - leave the hall. Gov. Flower was the most self- possessed man ot the group. When some men voted "No to the proposition to make Cleveland's nomination unanimous Murphy shook his head to the New Yorkers not to do the same thing ; so all was quiet, It was a splended fight and every man who saw it, no matter what he thought of the wisdom of their op-- nnsition. was croud tbat he came c ' from the same State as these men New York was the Empire State here as well as elsewhere. Her men, even in defeat, were the greatest men in the convention and they weie defeat ed only by another man from the same State, William C. Whitney. For him and for Vilas and for Dickinson the New Yorkers have no bitterness only respect. They fought with naked weapons drawn at the beginning of the contest. They acknowlede themselves beaten, but they want all the world to know that they did not die by these sword3, but by the stilettoes of Gray and Gormen. For Dickinson, Vilas and Whitney they have nothing but the respect which !1 good fighters feel for one another. They promise to give the ticket the very best sup port of which they are capable. The promise is made by all the principal men ot tne aeieeauuu, uu . . 1 I I IIa. .1 tnev make it in a way that shows they mean what they say.

Sheeban was very emphatic as he said : "Any one that would seriously ask me if I were go ing to support the ticket, meaning thereby to intimate tbat I would not support it, would insult me. In Erie County we will work as hard &3 we know how. I do not take back any thing I have said, but I hope the judgment of the convention is better than our judgment. I hope our pre dictions are wrong. We will do all we can to prove ourselves false prophets." Edward Murphy, jr., said. "Support the ticket? Of course we will support it wilh all our strength. We are Democrats, and wheu the convention comes to a decision it is our decision. We are fighters. We will fight as hard to elect Cleveland as we fought to nominate Hill, and the delegates know that was not any kind of a bad fight. We will do our best. We said so before the conven tion took action and we meant what we said. We say it again, and again we mean it." Senator P. H. McCarren, of Brook lyn, who represented here Hugh Mc Laughlin, the Democratic leader of Kings County, said. "Brooklyn will give Cleveland 20,000 majority. We have made a stiff fight, but we bow to the will of the majority. Kings County will do its best for Mr. Cleveland, aud think that best will be 20,000 ma- ority. Daniel G. Griffin, the Chairman of the Executive Committee of the State Committee ; Mayor Grant, Senator Jacob Cantor, Secretary of State Rice, Treasury Danforth and all the other leaders spoke in the same strain. Senator Jacob Cantor proposed a happy plan, which Tammany will probably adopt, of turning the usual Fourth of July exercises at the Wiga warn in Fourteenth stteet into a grand meeting in ratification of the ticket.

One night a man took a little taper out of a drawer and lighted it, and began to ascend a long, winding Bta;r 'Where are you going?" said tbe taper. "Away high up," said the man. higher than the top of the house where we sleep. "And what are you going to do there?" said the taper. "I am going to show the ships out at sea where the harbor is," said tbe man. "For we stand here at the en trance to the harbor and some Bhip far out on the stormy sea may be looking for our light even now. "Alas! no ship could ever see my licrht." said the little taper. "It is so very email." "If your light is small," said the man, "keep it burning bright and leave the rest to me." Well, when the man got up to the top of the lighthouse for this wa& a lighthouse they were in he took the little taper, and with it he light ed the great lamps that stood ready there with their polished refiectores behind them. And soon Ihey were burning steady and clear, throwing astong beam of light across the sea. By this time the lighthouse man had blown out the little taper, and laid it aside. But it had done its work, Though its own light had been so mall it had been the means of kind ling the great lights in the top of the lighthouse, and these were now shin incr brierhtlv over the sea, so that ships far out knew by it where they r- o were, and were guided safely into the harbor.

Cold boiled ham is one of the most convenient of thinfrs to find in the cellar. It is capable of being pre pared in many ways, and the dishes of which it forms the principal por tion are quickly and easily made. To cook a ham boil it three or four hours, according to size. After re moving the skin put it in the oven for half an hour, then cover with bread crumbs and set back for half an hour longer. Boiled ham is al ways improved by putting it in the oven for nearly an hour till much of the fat dries out. This also makes it more tender. Ham Toast Grate a sufficiency of the lean of cold ham, mix some beaten yolk of egg with a little cream, thicktn, it with the grated ham, put the mixture ito a saucepan over the fire and let it simmer awile. Have ready some slices c! bread nicely toasted and well spread the ham mixture oast thickly and send to buttered, over the the table warm.
