MISCELLANEOUS.
Oh exhibition at the Third Na
tional bank in Scranton is a check,
bearing the signature of George
Washington. It was drawn just
three months and one day before
his death.
If the newspapers told half ot all
they knew, a social revolution
would ensue in short order. It is
what is kept out of a paper not
what goes in that keeps the world
running smoothly.
A Philadelphia lawyer recently
recovered from a railroad company
$20,000 damages for injuries to his
client, who was a newsboy, and
pocketed one half the amount,
$10,000, as his fee. ,
The estate ot the late T. V. Wil
liamson, the Philadelphia million
aire, has been appraised at $9,810,
639 77. His wearing apparel,
office furniture, books and jewelry
(including a gold watch), were set
down as worth $100.
All the people now living in the
world, say 1,450,000, could find
standing room within the limits of
a field 100 miles square. In a
field 200 miles square they could
all be comfortably seated.
Prince Bismark has 103 decora
tions. Fourteen are set in di&-
monds of great value. He be
longs to no English order. The
late czar of Russia gave him the
order of St. Andrew, the most im
portant in Russia. Bismarck's
diamond star belonging to this
order is worth $50,000. ; '
The Rev. Thomas 3)ixori, a
prominent Baptist clergyman of
New York, preached a sermon last
Sunday on "Municipal Reform,"
in which he said: '.'These news
papers that we revile so much are
'just about the only power in the
city that the devil fears. The only
eyes that never sleep are those of
- the hard-worked reporters."-'
The first great link in the all
Tailcommunication between Amer
ica and Europe, the little crossing
of Behring etiaits, will, it is said,
be no more formidable than that
of the English channel.. . The en
gineer for the government of Brit
ish Columbia says this road could
be built for less rnoney- per "mile
than the Canadian ' Pacific cost.
The first section of it would run
through the famous Kartenal val
ley, a superb agricultural and cattle-raising
region. The climate
would cause no more trouble on
this line than on the Northern or
Canadian Pacific. r '
At the C urt House. Hon. H.
B. Miller, will address the citizens
of Corvallis on the political issues
of the day from a republican
standpoint, on Wednesday, May
21, at 7:30 o'clock . in the court
house. All are invited to be pres
ent.
Fastest. Yet. Yesterday's trip
up of the steamer Wm. Hoag from
Portland is considered the fastest
time on record for any steamer
over the same distance.. She left
the metropolis at 6 a. m. with fifty
tons of freight and arrived at her
dock in this city at 2:45 p." m.
eight hours and forty-five minutes.
Statesman.
. Ikvest Now. The fact that the
Southern Pacific company have
decided to extend their . road to
Astoria, making it the terminus of
another transcontinental line,, is
one of the many evidences that
that place is sure to become a city
of no mean pretention. That cap
ital is seeking investment in As
toria, is 6hown by the large num
ber of real estate transfers made
every day, not only in business
property but suburban lots.
Hartless & Davisson are offering
great inducements to those - who
invest their money now in either
Schenck's or Astor's additions to
Astoria. Lots in these additions
wjll be greatly enhanced in value
within the next few months. This
firm . has also been ' appointed
agents for the Hamburg-Breman
Fire Insurance Company of Ger
many, one of the oldest and most
reliable companies doing business
in the , United States. Thus a
policy, with this company is a safe
investment. . .
REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
The republican party of Oregon in state
convention assembled, proud of its record
and past history, its devotion to the prin
ciples ol human liberty and human rights,
its great and imperishable names which lend
lustre and glory to the American nation at
home and among the nations of the earth,
and as an assurance of its continued fidelity
to the great principles for,' which it has con
tended in the past in state and national
affairs, does hereby make and affirm the
following declaration of its principles:
First That we favor honest, efficient and
economical administration of every depart
ment of government, both state and national.
Second That we regard the free school
system of our state as the special care and
pride of the republican party, to be cher
ished as one of the bulwarks of the liber
ties of the people.
Third That whereas the republican party
has always contended for a pure electoral
system, in pursuanceof this policy we favor
the adoptiou of the Australian ballot sys
tem Applause and we pledge the republi
can party to enact such a law at the next
session of the legislature, substantially upon
the line and of the character of the act as
drafted by the Ballot Reform League of Ore-'
gon.
Fourth That the republicans of Oregon
send greeting and congratulations to their
brethren of Maine for having furnished
Thomas B. Reed, an honest and courageous
statesman, who as speaker of the house of
representatives, has secured for the repre
sentatives "of the people the right of the
majority t.i govern, and we denouuee the
fiction by which democratic members of
congress attempt to justify the technical
defeat of the will of the people and the
majority of their own body by refusing to
vote, though in fact present and in duty
bound to do so. .
Fifth That. we rejoice in the fact that in
the last presidential election the American
people voted to sustain and uphold the re
publican doctrine of protection which the
democratic party proposed to destroy
applause and we are in favor of the con
tinuance of that sj stem of protection which
has developed the manufacturing aud agri
cultural interests of our country and pro
tected American lalmring men from degrad
ing -competition with the pauperized and
poverty-stricken labor of the Old World,
applause and to this end we indorse the
provisions of the bill known as the McKin
ley tariff bill, now pending before congress,
anUon behalf of the wool growers call upon
eur representatives in congress to do all in
their power to secure the early passage of
said bill. . , ; . .
- Sixth That recognizing the fact that the
United States is the greatest silver-produc-iug
country in the world, and that both gold
and silver were"' equally the money of the
constitution from the beginning of the re
public until the- hostile legislation against
silver, which Unduly contracted the circu
lating medium of the country, and recog
nizing that the great interests of the people
demand more money for use in the channels
of 'trade and commerce; therefore, we de
clare ourselves in favor of the free and un
limited coinage of silver, and denounce any
attempt to discriminate against silver as un
wise and unjust.
, Seventh That the gratitude of the na
tion to the defenders of the -Uuion cannot
be measured by ltws. That the legislation
of congress should conform to the pledges
made by a loyal people and be so enlarged
and extended as to provide against the pos
sibility that any man who honorably wore
the Federal uniform shall become an inmate
of an almshouse or dependent upon private
charity.
Eighth That we are in favor of a fair
aud. equal distribution of taxation, and we
believe that all property not now exempt
by law should contribute its due proportion
in payment of the legitimate expense of the
government. That we are in favor of. .the
adoption of such amendment to our assess'
ment laws as will secure the equal aud just
assessment aud taxation of all property at
its true value. ':
Ninth That we demand the immediate
forfeiture by congress ot the land grant of
the Northern Pacific railroad from Wallula
to Portland.
Tenth That we are heartily in favor of
the passage through congress of the bill pro
viding- for a boat railway 'at The Dalles of
the Columbia river, which has been passed
in the senate by the effirfcs of Senators
Mitchell and Dolph; that we believe it to be
the most practicable - plan for the relief of
the products and for the development of
that vast territory of country tributary to
tue great Columbia river.
Eleventh That we favor the enactment
of a law in the interest of the wage-earning
classes in factories, mines, workshops and
public works fixing eight hours as a day's
work, and we denounce the convict con
tract labor aystenv as unjust to the honest
labor of our state, and we believe that all
laws recognizing such system be repealed;
that we are opposed to the futher immigra
tion of Chinese laborers to the United
States, and we demand more stringent and
effective measures for -carrying into practi
cal operation the enactments of congress
excluding Chinese laborers from American
soil.
Twelfth Th at we reiterate our approval
of the policy of liberal appropriations for
internal improvements, especially for our
rivers and harbors; that we favor, the con
tinuation of the policy of using the public
money for public welfare, believing that'the
improvement of our waterways wrU result
in a material reduction of the rates of trans
portation; that we - hold all corporations
strictly, responsible to their liabilities under
the law; and recognize the right of the leg.
islatore to ennct all reasonable limitations
on corporate power, v '..,."
Thirteen That we favor : legislative en
actment by which there may be elected or
appointed a state inspector of weights and
measures, - and also favor1 amendments to
municipal charters which shall require the
appointment of building and sanitary .in
spectors in all cities of ten thousand or
more inhabitants. .
Fourteen That we favora n early survey
of nnsurveyed public lands in this state,
that the' same may be claimed and occupied
and tillers speedily procured by bona fide
settlers, nnder the laws ' of the . United
States. We demand liberal appropriations
by congress to secure that end.
Fifteen That while disclaiming the right
to interfere with the administration of in
ternal affairs of foreign nations, we sincere
Iy approve the efforts of Irish and English
statesmen to secure by peaceful methods
the American principle of home rule for
Ireland. Applause.
Sixteen That we denounce all trusts and
combinations that haye for their object the
controlling of the market value of the nec
essaries of life and that we are in favor of
laws restraining and abolishing the same.
Seventeen That we congratulate the
country upon the success and the prosperity
that have marked the first year of President
Harrison's administration; that we rejoice
in the restoration of dignity, vigor and
statesmanship in the conduct of foreign
affairs which have settled grave internation
al complications upon a basis.which secures
every American right, and which by
friendly advances and hospitality, have
strengthened the bonds of sympathy and
interest which joiu us to the republics of
the American continent, paving the way to
a policy of peace, of extendad commerce,
and of amity among'all the nations of the
New World; applause that we commend
the present national administration, for
applying the surplus funds to the payment
of interest-paying bonds,' as contrasted with
the democratic policy of lending the surplus
to banks which retained their bonds and
collected interest thereon while nsinp the
people's money, which should' have been ap
plied to the payment of said bonds.

THE CHILD'S LIFE OF CHRIST.
Introduced by Rev. J. L. Hurlbut, D. D.
The writer of successful juvenile books
can command almost his own price in fact,
such is the demand for this class of litefa
ture that many of the leading writers of
the present day are devoting their talents
exclusively in this direction. Everywhere
people, authors and publishers alike, are
beginning to realize the fact that it is of the
utmost importance that good, wholesome
books should be placed in the hands of the
young, and to-day hundreds of thousands
of copies of books of this kind - are sold
yearly. Recognizing this fact the great
London publishing house of Cassell & Com
pany, one of the largest concerns of the
kind in the world, whose establishment
covers over an acre of ground, have been
for months engaged in the preparation of a
"Life of Christ," which should be especially
adapted for theyoung. That they have suc
ceeded in producing a work of rare beauty
and practical value in the household will be
seen at a glance. Eminent writers have
been engaged to prepare the letter press,
large force of the ablest artists have sub
mitted designs for the illustrations and for
the covers of the book, and out of all these
the publishers haye selected in the neigh
borhood of 300 as in their judgment worthy
of a place in the work. The book contains
700 pages, the print is exceptionally large
and clear as it should be the paper finely
calendered, and the binding elegant and ap
propriate, English silk cloth with gold and
antique side stamp. A beautiful feature
being a representation stamped in gold on
the side of the book of the Savior blessing
a little child by the roadside. It is impos
sible to estimate the real value of a book
like this to every God-fearing man, woman
or child. We seem to be actually present
and viewing with our own eyes the wonder
ful panorama of the Bible and Bible lands,
also all the remarkable events connected
therewith. All classes of people, - and es
pecially the young, will read this book with
as much enthusiasm as they would the most
thrilling story of adventure, and in doing
so they will unconsciously acquire a
thorough knowledge of the Bible. In this
way thousands of young people will be in
duced to become Biblo readers who would
otherwise never look within the sacred
pages. . .
We predict for this work the same phe-
nominal sale in this country that it is being
accorded in England. It is not only a book
which will in our judgment sell readily, but
one which deserves to sell the engravings
alone, constituting as they do a complete
Biblical art gallery, are worth the price of
the book, and it ought to be in the hands of
the children in every home in this country.
The History Company, the well-kuownfpub-lishing
house of 723 Market Street, San
Francisco, have, by special contract with
Cassell & Company direct, . secured the sale
of the work for the Pacific Coast. Agent i
and parties who desire to iutroduce the
work should communicate at once with
The History Company at the above address.
