The representative of tho de noemtia party 111 c ut 1 em :o:i assembled mako the following aociiiraii in of principles and n-.easnrcs as their pLitforin In tho present campaign: vt e declare our steadfast adher bn to the fun uamcnini maxim of tho democracy, vis: (lev- eminent by iho pooi -lo, h.ncj:iy and cecnoinl eally admlui tored, for the greatest cood to the greatest number." We charge upon tho repub ncan party and Its reckless lMatlon nil tho evils from which the people ate now ufl'erlnc, and assert that the low prices of farm products non-employment o! labor, gonornl deprcsicn in business and stagnation of Industry, aro tho results of the unjust and burdensome taxes, high protective tariff syetcm, and and oth class legis.ati.m of tho republican pally, of which tho douonctizatlon of silver in 1K7H and the contraction of our currency ate Instance We bellevo that nil taxation should bo equal and just, that unnecessary taxntlon is nnjttst taxation, and that tho wealth of a nation should bear its Just proportion of tho burdens of tho national government, cud that wo are In favor of an liicomo tax. We favor tho calling of a constitutional con vention to tumult to tho voUra of tho s'.atoa constitution embodying among other things what is known as tho Initiative and referen dum. We again declaio our Ltllh in mid advocacy of tho imperishable principles of the democrat ic party as re-alllrmed by th3 democratic plat form. Wo have an abiding faith and Implicit conll- denco in the intogtlty, good faith and patriot ism cf 1'resioent Cleveland, and believe that he will accomplish, so far as In his power, bofore tho close of his term of olllce, all tho pledges of tho democratic party contained In tho national uniform adopted nt Chicago In 18W. We endorso the repeal by congress of tho odl- ous federal elect! u law, and endorse Its oll'oits In behalf of tarlll' reform and to bring about a nioro prosperous condition of affairs. We favor tho speedy construction of tho Nica ragua canal by tho government and under gov ernment supervision and c . ntri l. We re-allirm tho position that has over been maintained by tho democratic party, that gold and silver nro oqiiiilly tho peoplo's money. We aro opposed to ell measures of discrimination agiiinst silver, nnd demand frco eolnago to Sup ply the demands of business, and that nil mon ey lsrucd by tho government ba made a legal tender for all dobts, both public and private. Wo believe that tho pension roll should to one of honor, and we favor liberal potisloua to ioldici s disabled In the service of our country. Mo nro In favor of the election of I'nlted States senators by tho direct rote of, tho peo ple. We denounea the net of tho lai t legislature whereby was repealed what Is known ns "The .Mortgage Tax Law," and we demand Its ro- enactment at the next session. Wo don and that all proierty shall bo assessed at Its true cosh value, and that there shall be deductions only for Indobtedncsti w hich has a corresponding taxable credit. We demand the enactment and enforcement of moro stringent laws for tho protection of tho salmon and sturgeon Hsbing Industry, nnd the abolition of all nvhtrap,.iiis tin 1 wheels, and favor mora extensive artlllcl.tl propagation. We are In favor of liberal approprlntlons for the improvement of our rivers and harbors, and the adoption of such measures as will tend most sliced to the opening of the Columbia river, We are opposed tho ( hiiicss and all pauper Immigration, We favor a change In the law regulating the adoption of school text books which will Invite healthy competition and prevent too frequent ohanges In the snine. We are In favor of lan i for tb 3 protection of depositors In l.ankt, We are In favor of the abolishment of railroad and all other unnecessary commissions, V, e favor fixed salaries for all publlo olMcer'l and the abolishment of the fee system, and are opposjd toan ofllcor receiving moro than Lit constitutional salary. We condemn as Infamous the attempt of tho last legislature to tamper with the purity of cur elections by so amending the Australian ballot law as to take from It all lit Utnelii out provlt lou.i, and r,e earnootly oppo&o any change or mcdilifetlim of laid law. We declaro ounclvos In sympathy with the Jutt necMin of Jiid;e Cal Iwell, retarding the Ightsof labor In the rc 'ottl controvert y be tween the t'lilon IV-'llli'ltullroaiK ompany and its om plnj cs. Woarra'gn tho Uut legislature l-T l't waste of the people' money byoxtri'vsgunt nnd reck- less appropriations, nnd hold the republican party of the state responsible f ir tho shuu.cle.is and vicious legislation of that body, and wc cull pon the honest voters of the state to relieve the commonwealth of this lncubut upon Its In- nilry and prosperity by taking the rolns of power fniti tie hands of such Incom potent and unworthy tenants. Tho ponplo cannot hope for Immunity from corrupt appropriations of public money tolling as the party is In power Is controlled by tho 0(miMnnll.,ii of r;,llinou which bnt nnd will control tho icpuMJran party of this slnti). The Lincoln county democrats have nominated Marsh Simpson for county judge. It is almost half a entury since, as a boy, he came with his father, Uncle Mid Simpson, across the plains and beean to rough it out beyond the Luckia mutes. rolls County Itemizer. What is the Matter with the School FuruL? The lav; makes it the duty of the county school superintendent lo ap portion the school funds of the county twice each year, once on the third Monday in April and again on the third Monday in August. Last year the April apportionment was made in June and for seme reason or other the August appor tionment was not made at all, al though the treasurer's sworn state ment on the 5th day of October iSij3 showed that on September 30, iSe;3 there was a balance of school funds on hands amounting to $919.- 61, so there must have bceii at least $700 of school funds in the treasury on the third Monday in August-. This was not apportioned and the schools of the county were were deprived of its use, much to their detriment. On the third Mon day of the present April theri should have been on hands the bal ance of $949.61 which the October statement showed and a further sum of $233.12 which has been col lected since then,, in the 1S92 school fund. This would make a total of$i,iS2.73 in the fund to be apportioned pro rata among the pu pils of the county. Let us have au apportionment of this fund among the school children of the county in compliance with tne law, and at a very early date. The schools need it. Circuit Court Matters. The circuit court . adjourned at 10 o'ciock Tuesday morning, after having given a quietus to a large number of cases. Judge Fullerton goes next to Coos county where no term of court has been held for a year, and where a lengthy docket awaits him. lie does not expect to get through in time lo be able to hold court in Lincoln county, the regular lime for which is - fixed by law 011 the third Monday in May. If not, he will authorize some attorney to call court at Toledo at the appointed time and adjourn to som'e convenient date perhaps 111 July or August. The sixth of Juiie'-is set for adjourned term for Benton county, to be ready to act on any emergency that may grow out of the O. P. sale 011 June 2nd, and to dispose of cases that have been continued. Corvallis Time3. This year will be Oregon's oppor tunity. A disastrous frost has al most totally ruined the fruit crop in the eastern and middle states and there is 110 doubt but that there will be a large demand for Oregon fruits at good prices. Oregon ap pies louna their way into easttm markets last year and brought goou trice. with belter prices 1 a. than even these of last j ear and with improved shipping arrange ments there will be a splendid market for all this state will rro cluce. I'ruit men should Lend every energy to make their crops the best possible this year by thorough cultivation and careful attention to trees. Nature, as us ual, has done everything. Vegeta tion has been kept back and is now coming on finely with but little danger from frost. Thii is the chance td establish a good market n the east of which our fruit men should avail themselves. Junction City Times. ! it is me opinion 01 a law l.rm 111 Portland that the county court has no power to extend the time cf col lecting taxes. It has Veen the universal custom for the county court to regulate the matter in this and most other counliei, which is as the faw ought to be; if lefttoanv iherilT he must follow the spirit of the warrant in his Inn Is. Tl.e county court can at least make its recommendation, and most sheriffs would be governed by it. 1 "English farmers are discourag ed," is the news that comes from over the water. We are not sur prised. We can not remember a lime for twenty years when English farmers were not discouraged. In fact the English farmers seem to get more solid comfort out of being chronically discouraged than the rest of us could get out of wheat at $1.50 a bushel. Ex. Number 3. Financial Statement. We would rcinsciAillv r-.'i ti. ! attention c'f the co-.uitv offices ir- ( terested to the follow ing sections of Hill s Code, which appears to have been neglected. 1 In chapter 41, Hill's annotated code, the following sections are found: ' " 3471. It shall be the duty of the county clerk of each county, on the 1st day of April, and on the first clay cf October in each year, publish in one issue cf a weekly paper having general circulation in the county, a report showing cor rcctly the number nnd amount of claims allowed by the county court, and 011 what account, the amount of warrants drawn, and the amouut of outstanding warrants not mid. f Section- 3472. He shall at the same time and .in the same connec tion, publish a report of the sheriff of his county, showing the amount of money he has collected, and the' amount of warrant? he has received for taxes, and the amount of money he has turned over each mouth lo the treasurer, and the total thereof during the past six months. 3473- He shall aho, at the same time and in the same connec tion, publish a report of the countv treasurer, showing the amount of money he has receiveel, and from what source, during the past six months, with the dateof itsreceipt, and from whom, the amount of money he has paid out on warrants, and the amount of money 011 hand at that date. Si;c. 3474. The clerk shall pre pare and attach to said reports a summary which "shall show, in all respects, the exact financial condi tion of his county at said date. SEC. 3475. To aid the county clerk in making the report, publi cation and summary herein pro vided, it shall be the duty 'of the county treasurer and sheriff to file with the county clerk, on the first day of April and the first day of October of each year the renorts as above specified. fcEC 3840. Anv officer wilfullv violating any of the provisions of this act shall be deemed euiltv of a misdemeanor, and upon convictbn thereof shall be fined not more than twenty-five dollars for eachoffcn.se. to be paid into the county treasury lor tue beneiit ot the common schools. , ; In fairness to the county clerk it is but justice to say that he informs us that he has been ready and" anxious to comply with the law and file and publish his report, but the sheriff and treasurer have Loth failed to file theirs with him, and, as can be seen by the reading of the law above, it is impossible for him to publish his report until .the treasurer and sheriff first comply and file their reports. We bring this matter to public attention now, as the time is past nearly a mouth when this should have been done, f ' .)!, Kctvpc; t Xotes. ' ! Messrs. Muller & Priest are -k ting the finishing touches on their schooner. It is a mo'.'el of beauty and wiil be a fast nail jr.
