A WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING. BRIEF MENTION. THE REPUBLICAN PLATF0RA1. The republican national platform id a H'.tle more ku;thy than formerly but it takes a? every principle of vital interest as u nation exceptone, that of appropri ntion of money for sectarian purposes. From the dispatches it was inferred that the convention was opposed to appropriation for such purposes, but Iho platfoim as given out for publication is sueni on uiai question, i-rom tiie prom inence invoi thi tariff tilank. with a short stump speech prefixed to it, it is very apparent tliat the lanfl question is the paramount one. The planks on reciprocity, mi gar, wools aud wcolens, and the merclmut marine, next follow in 'lie order of prom inence before tlio money question which is substantially the tame a in 1S:)2. The plant on f ..reisu litnuiTgralion is good as far as it goes but is not restrict ive enough. In addition to restricting all foreigners to those who can read and write, it ought to requite a per capita las of $100 for every male foreigner coming to the United State?. Such a tax would exclude many thousands every year and tho-ie foreigners wo would get under such restrictions would make good citizen. The principle of arbitration to settle fill national disputes is in keeping with the advancement of this enlightened age, and will give gen eral satisfaction. Likewise, those of civil service, a fiee ballot, homestead?, pensions, the Monroe doctrine, relations with Cuba, etc., are all of interest to American?, bnt thoso upon which the coming campaign will hinge is the tariff and the money plank?. As a whole the platform is a sood one showing that as questions iri;e th parly has the courage to boldly aunoance to the world what those couvtctions are and not palter with them. The plank on money is conservative. The party's voliov of finance ha. ruidu all classes of money, goW, silver and pa- f per, equal in purchasing power. What better can any parly ds? The sreat question now to be determined is that of labor. A policy of the government that will set labor at work at living prices is the great question to be solved. A so called "Republican" in Thurs day's Review tries to criticise tho Pi.ai.n'deai.kk'k tditorial, "After the Battle." This nincompoop of a repub lican, aliai eorelteiuled kicker, essays to show his devotion t-j Iho republican party by an effort to cautorizo tho I'laimik.m.uii, in a cowardly attack over a uom do plume, aud, like the ostrich, hides his head in a sandbank and imag ines his uothor parts arc also hidden. "Republican" need not fancy that be cause he signs his inane twaddle about the Plaimiualkk with a fictitious name, that he is not known, for, liko the ass ttressed in n lion's skin, his voice betrays him ; it shows he is still an an? "uepuniicati" says: "litem will bo no peace, no rest until tho grand old renub licau paity, which still has un imtmrtaut ant mission to iei form in this country. has spewed out of its body this corrupt. un-American and un-fJlinstian thing in a men in tits ztnl lor the success of what he thought (he did not know) to bo republicanism, bo voted the demo cratic ticket. It sppears then the grand old party has spewed out one "un-American, tin-Christian thing," this self-st vied republican. Ho then writes to the Re view (which is io Eorrv for tho republi can party as to shed crocodile tears for its imagtuarv woes) over the false name of "Republican." but in truth he is onlv a bastard democrat, who inveighs agaiust tho editor of the 1'lai.nugai.cr with a tirade of personal abuso over n cowardly non de plume. Come out from your ambush, you cowardly.sueaking whelp, and .ve'll skin your civet-cat carcass for you. The ed itor of this paper is an older and better republican, having devoted more, time and given more monor for tho euntnrt of the party than this socalled "Repub lican ever thought of cr would give for the cause, if solicited. REVIEW ROTTENNESS. That malodorous thing yclep: Re view essays an answer to the Plain iiealek's statement of the pluralities of The O. A. R. Camas Valley, June IS, 1SW. Kihtoi: Plundealek: Seeing your article oa the orgmizatioa of the first G. A. R. Post in the United States by Dr. Stevenson, reminds me that he waj abb assisted by my brother, Joe M. Prior, as also 1 N. Coltrin, who were at that time publishers of a juitsr called the Tribune, in Decatur, Illinois. Its first meeting was in their printing i-flice and being veterans ci the war were readily the representatives, Bridges, Crawford rin?,,Te!era"s.cl, thc war wcre and Riddle. We were correct except as j d,umed- Por a portrait, m well as to Mr. Crawford's rinralitr. J l.hel: iicVi ,,,iV foUnJ Geo. to Mr. Crawford's plurality, which was a mere oversight. Rat our analysts was substantially correct. What we said concerning Mr. Riddle's plurality was not to show his vote in an uncompli mentary way at all, out to thow that while he was known as an anli-A. P. A., Mr. Crawford, who was published by the Review as an A. P. A and whom, the Rev'ew tried hard to "stamp out," gol a much larger vote than did Mr. Riddle. There were other elements at work against Mr. Riddle, which were far more damaging to him than A. P. A.-ism to Crawford. Riddle was rr girded by many republi cans ,as an anti-Mitchell man. That tcokmany votes from him and gave them to certain democrats. Then he wss an outspoken gold standard man. That took vtes from him also. Mr. Crawfaid wai more bitterly onposed by the Review than aay other man .for representative. That accounts most likely for his bHrgest yote and shows the extent of the Review's influence in politics President Cleveland" advice to democ racy, in his latest edict to the faithful, said in coaclnsion : '-I hope I may not be blamed for saying this much in the interest of tbe grand old organization, so rich in honorable traditions, so Justly proud of its achievements ana always so sound, undaunted and brave in it3 bat tles for the people's welfare." In view of the achievements of democracy for the last three years, we cannot see where he can place his ringer upon any achievement that a true American citi zen ought to feel proud of. The falling off ia oar imports" of for eign merchandise, during March and April, must La very unsatisfactory (o European manufacturers. They will ha gin to realizj that, while ttiey are mak ing goods fat our market, American wage eirners cannot bs kept busily em ployed, and mast, C3asqueatly, have less money to spjnd f jr the "cheap" foreign gojJs. This is "a condition that coauoats the treasary department also, by reducing the reciipts from the customs reyenus. The fact that the value of fortign goods remaining in warehouses was f II , 030,003 more last March than in March, 1593, is evidence ot tha impoverished condition of cur pjsple, who are unable to purchase freely, even of the "cheap" foreign gooJj that arc awaiting them. Perhaps free-trade theorists will begin to undewtaad tha. less work in cur mills means a lighter purchasing power on the part of oar people. death's history of the G. A. R.

Tne phenomenal catel s of some of the green fishermen is one of the chief top ics of discussion tonight Many young men, the sons of weli-to- uo rarents, have been tempted by the large returns to go oat on the river, and there is beginning to spring up a large demand lor fishing gear from men who never rowed a boat in their lives. Rut these novices, fortunately, aro accnm pained by experienced water-front char acters in the role of boatpullers. A report comes from Cathlamet that one man there obtained three tons of salmon in 0112 drift last nieht. for he was paidrtfce sum of 270 cash by one ot life canneries.
