The Democrats ought to get to gether again anil decide just what it was they agree J upon for a platform at their state convention. We called attention the other day to a card that is being distributed among rail road men in these parts on which is printed what is claimed to be a plank adopted by the Democratic conven tion nt the request of certain railroad men from Albins, as a substitute for a plaDk drafted ly the platform com mittee. Now the singular thing about this pretended plank is that it did not appear in the Oregonian's report nor in the platform as pub lished by any paper that has come under our observation, with the single exception of the Times Mountaineer. A Pendleton semi socialist sheet printed it in separate form and claimed the genuine plank had been published previously by mistake; and doubtless the bogus plank is being used at Pendleton for the same purpose it is being used here, namely, to boost a Democrat into the legislature. It is explained that this alleged railroad plank and the plank which appeared in the platform, as reported by the Ore gonian, got mixed up somehow by the Oregonian reporter aud the mistake was not discovered till it was too late. Why, in that case, did not somebody demand a public cor rection? And why is it that the platform, ns it n;penrcd in the Oie gonian, is published in the Populist Salem Journal under the heading: 'Union Platform Adopted by the Democrats and Populists of Oregon." Is it because the Fusionists have no railroad men down that way that they hope to deceive by pretending an interest in their affairs that they were loo cowardly to own iu public convention? For that is just what the whole affair comes to. For when this bogus plank was before the con vention on the evening of the first day of the convention "it was op posed by Chairman Crawford, Ben nett of Wasco, O'Day of Multnomah and other members of the platform committee. They said it was alto gether too radical and would invoke the wrath of the corporations upon the Democratic ticket." So repotted the Oregonian the following morn ing. And to make the matter still more explicit it is on record that the morning the platform came be fore the convention for ratification Holmnn, of Multnomah, opposed Ibis "bogus" plank with all his might in these words: "I do not believe in a polyglot platform. The principle of putting things in the platform that the convention does not believe is political dishonesty and willnot get voles. I will not undertake to say that the substitute (meaning this bogus plank) is not wanted by the convention, but I do not believe in adopting it because some one else wants it." Tho convention then sat down on this olleged "Railroad Plank," and the plank drafted bj the platform committee and pub lished in the Oregonian and other papurs was adopted without objec tion. The next thing we hear of this discarded plank it is used to elect to the legislature a member of tbe plttiform committee who assisted in drafting the real plank ami who Joined publicly with others in con demning this bogus thing as alto gether too radical and impolitic for Democratic platform. Tun Ciutox iclr would not willingly write a line that would wrong the meanest thing that ever trod the earth, but the evidence before it compels the belief that there are some very small pea nut politicians among Oregon Demo crats. There is no reason why every man on the Republican ticket of Wasco county, from congressman to con stable, should not be elected. We Lave the Republican voles to do it, and there is not a man on the ticket who is not entitled to the full vote of bis party. The Chhoxklb has nothing but kind words personally foi the Democratic candidates, iiovr.e of them ere men whom we would delight to honor in any way outside of politics. Their fault lies in be longing' to a party to which the country owes absolutely nothing gave the obligation to bury it under an avalanche of votes at every op portunity. It is impossible to feel kindly to a party that is directly responsible for the wreck and ruin that followed the election of Clevc land and that prolonged the wretch edness by the threat of a wretched ness still more diie through the triumph of Bryanism. The country was never more prosperous than it is at this moment. It is the patriotic duly of the voters of the nation to keep it so, a far ns voles can do it Every vote cast for Bryanism is a vote to stop the march of prosperity and bring back the horrors of '93 to '96. Wasco county Republicans ill do their duty by voting the Repub lican ticket and for every man on it It is impossible to think otherwise, From an article printed elsewhere it will be seen that the Portland chamber of commerce is about to take the lead in an effort to secure a government portago railroad around The Dalles rapids, and that in Ibe near future tLe boards of trade and other commercial bodies of other towns of the Columbia river valley will be asked lo lend their assistance in tho form of petitions and memori als to congress. The movement in line with that advocated by Tub Ciihonici.e. The leaders in this last movement have come to see that a boat railway is impracticable; that a canal is the only permanent im provement that will meet the de mands of the future; but that mean whi'.e, and for years to come, and while a canal is in course of con struction, a government portage road would do more to establish and maintain low freight rates between the Inland Empire and the Pacific seaboard than a half dozen private railroads or private portages around The Dalles and Celilo rapids. LOOKISa CALMLY RICO. is The balance of net trade in favor of the United States during the last century preceeding the. present ad ministration amounted to $311,000, 000. In one buudred years that was the net balance to the credit of the United States in our trade with the world. In three years of the ad ministration of William MoKinley the net balance as shown by the books of the United States treasury is 1,400,000,000. It is 11,100,000, 000 more accomplished in these three years than has been accomplished in 100 years preceding. This is the Republican response to Bryanite calamity bowling, do we want a change? ' When Bryan reads the news, early in June, of the big Republican vie tory in Oregon, he will realize the folly of his recent visit to that state, says the Globe-Democrat. He made several speeches in Oregon, and bis dupes throughout the country have great hopes on that account that the state will go Democratic In the elec tion a few weeks hence. When they find, the day after the voting, that the Republicans have gained the state by a large majority they will see that their champion is going to have the same sort of luck that be had four years ago, only more so. The Chicago plalform, indorsed "in whole and in part, in letter and in spirit," by the Fusion forces of this state attributes to tho demoneti zation of silver a "corresponding fall in the prices of commodities pro duced by the people." A paily that affirms that kind of nonsense in this year of grace 1900 confesses that its stock of common senso is exhausted. Uncle Sara will take Porto Rico's 15,000,000 worth of silver in ex change for $3,000,000 of American money as good as gold. As the 13,000,000 will buy more than 000,000 Porto Rico gets the usual generous treatment, This is the way "imperialism" of the Republican brand works. M. B. Smith, Butternut, Mich., stye, "DeWitt's Little Early Risers are the very belt pills I ever aged for costiveneB?, liver fin 1 bowel troubles." This be ing a campaign yesr we must, of course, exiect to euduro a great deal of dust-throwing and gen eral muddling on the part of in terested parlies, siys the New York Commercial, but there U one thing about which the couutry should re main as clear-visioned as possible lest a great mistake be made, which once made would be long correcting, perhaps forever. The thing we refer to is the true nature of the Puerto Rican bill. The hysterical frame of mind is a very bad one in which lo examine a measure of this kind. We may, some of us, have been more or less affected by the wild shriek for abso lute free trade with Puerto Rico as a fulfillment of our pledges made to the Puerto Ricans through . General Miles, and for a season have joined the clatter which was simply designed to put the administration in a bole in this very important matter; but now, after we have had time to get thoroughly cool, a mere glance at this measure is sufficient to show how much a burden it will be to the Puerto Rican and how great a breach of the alleged good faith which some of the doctors laid clown as our guide. Some people clamored for absolute free trade with Puerto Rico. That is just what this bill affords absolute free trade nothing short of it. The 15 per cent of the Dingley law rates provided in the law have not the slightest margin in them of protec tion for the mainland producer, and wre not intended to have. It is not even a revenue bill, tor the receipts from its operation are to go right back to the Puerto Ricans. Tho only thing saved by the bill is the principle thst congress has power to place an important tariff on goods landed here from our tropical islands. That principle is fixed by it, and in it ttiere may yet prove to be the sal vation of producers here on the mainland who may require protec tion against competitors paying their labor 30 cents a day. AT PUERTO this. Is it conceivable that ice American people desire to ictvet the foiiy of lb'J-2 and vote into power a party whose success is a menace to this atcazir.g commercial prosperity ? Senator Clark, of Montana, says ho has made up his mind to resign, brobably because, like the Irishman, he wouldn't stay where he wouldn't be kept NEW TRAIN SERVICE. Judge Bennett, in another place in this issue, claims that the "Railroad Plank," which is being distributed among railroad men in these parts, is the plank that was adopted by the Democratic state convention and that he worked and spoke for it in the convention instead of making a speech against it, as reported by the Oregonian. In that case the Ore gonian should nave been asked should bo asked now lo rectify the error, or some one should demand its rectification in a manner as public as the error itself. It cannot be possible that the Oregonian would do Judge Bennett an intentional wrong by representing him as opposed to a measure wbich he claims to have been instrumental in having adopted. The question, however, is now up to the Oregonian. A plank in the Chicago platform, which the late Dcmocrutic state con vention "indorsed in whole and in part, in letter and in spirit," reads as follows: "We arc "unalterably op posed to monomotalism, (that is the gol 1 standard) which has locked fast the prosperity of an industrial people in the paralysis of hard times." This is simply Bide-splitting. We shall probably soon have an amended version, distributed privately, all the same as the so-called "Railroad Plank," with all this sidesplitting hilaritv left out. This from the Albany Democrat, an earnest soppoiter of the Fusion ticket, is a strong indorsemer.t of the Republican candidate for supreme judge: '.'It is probable that there will bo no one placed on the union ticket for supreme judge. This is a compliment to Judge Wolvcrton, whose judicial record is an excellent one. lie is by far the best man on tho bench." By a final decision in Washington the official spelling will be Porto Rico. That saves ten per cent in spelling and at least fifty per cent In pronunciation. At the close of the present fiscal year, June 30th, the excess of ex ports over imports will reach .550,- 000,000. History has no parallel to The doable train servies to be estab lished between Portland and Chicago April 22, in which tho O. R. i X., the Union Pacific and the Oregon Short Line are interested, will shorten the through time eleven hours. Train No. 2, leaving Portland at 9:15 a. m., be ginning on the date named, wii) be known as the Chicago-Portland special. Its equipment will be new, making it fully the equal of any train now in ser vice from the Pacific coast to the East. It will consist of a mail car, baggage car, two chair cars, and a touriBt sleeper. There will be but one change of curs to all eastern points. The full time will be three days through to Chicago, or four days through to Chicago, or four days and two hours to New York. The second train, known as No. G, will leave Portland at 6:20 p. in., con necting at East Portland with the South ern Pacific's overland train from San Fraucieo, and will carry through equip ment to Chicago via the Union Pacific and the Chicago and Northwestern, and also the equipment for tho Washington division of the O. R. & N., in csnnec tion with the Great Northern for St. Paul. This train will reach Spokane at 10 a.m. A dining car will be furnished for breakfast into Spokane, and for dinner on corresponding train leaving Spokane at 3:45 p, ni. The now sched ule as arranged will supply the most complete service ever furnished on the O. R. & N., as it provides increased ser vice in Eastern Oregon, where it is greatly needed, and gives immediate connection with the Washington divi sion at Pendleton. At this point there is a largo interchange of traffic, on ac count of the various mining districts of Baker county, the Cueur d'Alene, the Republic and Kootenai mining camps. Portland is greatly benefited by this change, in as much as increased service is given from Eastern Oregon and Idaho. No. 2 will arrive in Chicago at 9 :30 a. m. ; No. 0 at 7 :45 a, in., as at present. The Westbound train out of Chicago, corresponding with No. 2, is No. 1. This will arrive in Portland at 4:00 p. m. The train corresponding with the eastbound No. 6 is No. 3, out of Chicago. This will reach Portland at 7:30 a.m. Westbound train No. 1 will leave Chicago at 6:30 p. m., and Omaha at 8:20 a.m. the following day. The time will be reduced two hours and forty-fire min utes. No. 3 westbound train will leave Chicago at 10:30 p. m., and Omaha at 4:25 p. m. the next day. The service on the Union Pacific on all these trains include Buffet smoklng library cars, and dining cars. No. 0 will carry a daily ordinary sleeper to Kansas City, with change en route to ordinary cars to Chicago. . Consult the nearest ticket agent for detailed information. W. H.
