A WISE platform:
' The platform which it is gener.
ally considered will be adopted by
the ; St. Louis convention, ia one of
the strongest that could emanate
from that deliberative boty. The
' convention will do wisely if it change

Democratic administration in the
" - severest lansuaffe though none too
harshly and reaffirms the beltef of
" the . country in a wise and equable
tariff policy such as we have not
' been having the last three years
. This was to be expected, and causes
but ordinary comment throughout
. the counlr-.
Concerning the action or the con
.. vention upon the currency question
-there lias been anxiety throughout
the land. This is set at rest most
, satisfactorily- by the outspoken dec
,,' laratiou in favor of the present gold
standard. ' The silver men have
learned that common sense rules the

' tory and experience have not been
thrown to the winds. The financial
plank declares against the free coin
age of silver, save by international
. agreement, and pledges the Repub

standard. . V
. The Republican party has been a
. friend o silver, and will remain so.
xne country is now carrying as
large a silver circulation as is com
patible with maintaining the parity
between tha metals. . What tne
country needs is a rest. It needs to
have the tariff and financial ques
tions settled once and for all and
allow the business interests to be ad-
j justed to the existing circumstances
xne larin issue nas oeen settled in
' favor of protection, but the cost has
been terrible. ' Ruined industries,
shrunken securities, dwindling values
an over tne. lana represent wnat it
has cost to trifle with -economic laws
. and test the . Democratic policy of
free trade.
The country will be fortunate in
deed if it can place its finances on a
. wise and enduring basis without
, paying a price so dear. From the
attitude ' taken by the Republican

The wording of - the financial
pianit lor tne Kepuoiican national
platform should .bcr; settled in ad
vance of the - resolution committee's

trouble over the matter. The coun-
try, is . looKingjo tne at. Xiouis con

tention as to how this particular dec-
The' silver senators have bade
good bye to the Republican party
and amid mutual tears have broken
all political ties.- : -. . '. .:
The scene before ihe resolution
committee was theatrical in the ex
treme, and the farewell speeches of
Teller, Cannon- and Dubois brought
tears of regret to the eyes of veteran
politicians. ' It is not an easy matter
to break asunder the associations
that have continued ' pleasant and j
profitable for many years, and the
act of repudiation : upon . the part of
the silver senators was like unto a
child disowning its mother.' '
Credit will be given to Tller and
his assqeiates for apparent sincerity
in their cause. They have fought
the fight for silver continuously, awl
no theory ever had more aggressive
champions. They have failed to
win conviction in the councils of the
Republican party, and since they
place the silver god above nil deities,
the' h:ive adopda consistent course
in transici nna tneir allegiance to
another camp. '
It is not cpar but that they are
making an tgigrious mistake. In
placing the financial question in the
front rack of "national Issues, Senator
Teller is being blinded by prejudice.
The American people are fully aliv
to the importance of this issue, but
they do concede it to be of greater
concein to the country than the mat
ter of securing adequate revenues for
the country's needs and the uplifting
of American laborers and industries
This is the crying need, and this it is
which has made William McKinley,
the apostle of protection, the hero of
the hour. " ,
The most serious charge against
the silver senators was their" "hold
up", of all tariff legislation in the
senate, and their refusal to assist in
providing for the country unless all
remedial legislation should be ac
companjed by declarations in fayor
of free -silver. It was this action
which exasperated the nation and ha3
made the withdrawal of- Teller, Div
bois and Cannon a matter of less
regret than otherwise it would have
been.
The , Republican party will live
without them, and when placed once
more in power, will consider the
needs of the country greater than the
wishes of any particular section.

Opinion differs as to the wisdom
of calling out the militia to aid in
quelling the fishermen's strike! Ap
peal to arms should be a last resort,
Aside from unlawful acts committed
by individual fishermen there" does
not seem reasons sufficient .to justify
the expense - to "which , the state has
been subjected nor the bitter feel
ings which have been engendered by
the presence of armed " men in the
streets of Astoria. To make citizens
of Oregon take up arms against fel
low-citizens without jiist cause is a
dangerous precedent. It is to be
hoped, that the militia will not. be
called upon -for further duty, and
also we hope that in case the order
ing to arms proves to have been un
necessary, the "blame will be placed
where it Tightfnlly belongs.

McKinley'a nomination is the kind
opposition which is centered

McKinley and Hobart is the ticket!
which the Republicans f the coticr
tvv are called , upon to support. At
few times in !bur history has a spec-
tacle been witnessed like that 'which
has just occurred at " St. Louis.
For three; years the dnrt of public
opinion has been towards McKinley,
and in spite of all the shrewdest of
politicians could do . to prevent it,
the tide has never turned. , McKin-
ley hs achieved, r " triumph . such a?
fe w menvlive to 'win. The nomina
tion has come to him with almost the
same unanimity that it came to Lin
coln the second time or to Grant
when he was the unanimous choice
of the party. James G. Blaine, who
occupipd a place in popular affection
greater than any statesmen of recent
years ever possessed, was not able to j
achieve even the honor of a nornina-

Blaine was the greatest statesmen
this country has seen since: Lincoln,
yet he never was .honored as Mc
Kinley was yesterday. J
'The reason is plain enough.- Four
years ago the American people, made
reckless by continued prosperity,
overturned the existing economic
conditiors ' and substituted instead
the policy of England; refused pro
tection and demanded free trade.
Shrewd political prophets foresaw
the results aud predicted an era of
distress 'throughout- the land, and
tneir prediction was fulblled to a
lamentable degree. No sooner was
