The Eepublican party of Oregon, in convention assembled, do make ! and affirm the following declarations of our principles: 1. That we favor honest, 'effi cient and economical administration of every department in . the govern ment. 2. That we favor the equal pro tection of the rights of labor and capital, -k, , 3. That' we are in favor of regu luting the salaries v of th'e count' of ficers so that they shall receive such com 'Sensations as are commensurate with their service. 4. That we regard the free school I system of our State as the special care and pride of the Eepublican party. 5. That it is the policy of the Re publican party to foster and encour age the development of our State by the construction of the railways wliich will place us in direct com munication with our sister Stat s. 6. That we hold all corporations to be strictly responsible for their li abilities un ler the law, and recog nize the right of the Legislature to enact all re sonable limitations on corporate powers. 7. That to the end that settlers upon unearned railroad lands in this State may be enabled to obtain titles without delay, and that those seek ing homes may not be embarrassed in the location of lands, we tavor such action by Congress as will place such lands within reach of actual settlers at a price not exceeding $2 50 per acre, under swh condi tions and provisions as will secure the railway companies in any vested rights or equities they may have in the proceeds of that laid. 8. That we favor the enactment of a law by Congress restoring to set tlers the right to homestead and pre empt in all cases where by abandon ment of entries and filing they have hitherto not had full benefit of those acts. 9. That the rapidly increasing manufacturing and, wool growing interests of the State demand the continual fostering care af the gen eral government. 10. That the reciprocity treaty with the Sandwich Islands is an im- position upon "the government and the people and should be speedily abrogated. 11. That by the generous policy of the Republican party in 'ongress, liberal appropriations have been made to various portions of the C&ate, and we favor the continuance of this liberal policy towards the de velopment of the Columbia river and its tributaries, the Yaquina and Coos ays, the proposed harbor of refuge at Port Orford, the Umpqua, Coquille and Si'islaw rivers, the con struction of the locks al the Cas cades and The Dalles, of the Colum bia river, as well as other sections of our State. 12. "We profoundly deplore the untimely and tragic death of James Abraham Garfield, latf&President of the United States, who was shot down while in the discharge of his official duties by the hand of a cow ardly assassin, aud we approve and applaud the practical wisdom, the unselfish patriotism and the un swerving fidelity to the constitution and the principles of American lib erty with which James A. Garfield has discharged under circumstances of unparalleled difficulty the great duties and responsibilities of the Presidential office during his brief occupancy thereof. 13. That we regard President Arthur's veto of the bill for the re striction of the (Chinese immigra tion, as unwise and unjust, and we condemn the policy which permitted it as being opposed to the principles of the Republican party as express ed in the platforms of our" last Na tional Republican Convention, and we heartily commend our Represen tative in Congress, Hon. M. C. George for his able efforts to secure the passage -o. sucha bill; and we here earnestly declare it to be our belief that Chinese immgration to the United States should be restrained, and we demand that our" Represen tatives in Congress shall persist in advocating the enactment of a law that will effectually accomplish that result. 14. That we heartilr indorse our able Congressman, Hon. M. C. George in his untiring efforts in be half of our State; and that we heart ily approve of the economical and efficient administration on the part of our present Republican State officers. KEW OFFICE. The" News has changed its place of abode. As a metropolitan jour- nal would say, the pressure of busi-- j ness has cumjielled it to seek more j commodius quarters. A just regard j for truth, however, compells us to say that the pressure of business had little to do with the present removal. The pressure of rent had, though. Newspapers usually entertain their readers with elaborate descript ons of their new premises whenever a a change of location is made. En -gravings usualy form a part of such descriptions. The News regrets its inability to furnish its readers with a picture of its residence; but the artists and engravers are busy with other work. Those who have not seen the building are invited to call in and inspect its architectural merits; such as are prevented from doing so by reason of distance, can console themseleves with the fact that they may see just as fine build ings in all the large cities. The News premises front upon that street of Canyon City common ly known as Town Gulch Although ifcis a little removed from the busi ness part of the city, it is one of the most lively streets of all. Since we have become familiar with this sheet, we are convinced that the census taker made a big mistake in enumerating the inhabitants of Can yun City. There are more children in Town Gulch than the whole pop ulation of the city, as figured in the census tables. Perhaps some of the children were in hiding when the census marshal was around. To the east and south a fine view ! is had of the public park and the ; buildings belonging to the county, j It is true that the trees and shrubs that are supposed to be necessary to make a park, have not yet ap peared above the ground; but they ! will doubtless be there some time. In a July day, wen the sun is beat ing down upon the smooth and pol ished surface of the park and the i atmosphere is only a few degrees j hotterthan Sahara, it will be easy to imagine that beautiful birds are car oling in the branches of its supposi tious trees, and the waters- of its fictitious fountains are flashing in the sunlight- Several years experi ence in the newspaper besiness has j developed our imagination .wonder fully. Sometimes when our purse is as empty as a collapsed balloon, it is so comforting to i bfe able to- iin agiue it bursting with gold. But we are straying from the subject To the west the ' Nsws looks out upon a soa cf housetops, gradually sloping away to the level of Canyon Creek, further on, the view is lim ited bv the hill, with its abandoned tunnels and its tailing' piles that tell of the days of gold. Upon the whole, the situation U an advanta-' geous one. We can overlook the greater part of -town and see what ie going on; while the nearness to the court-iiouse gives onoajjjnse of se curity and protection. The building itself is well adapted for a printing office, though not de signed for one. It was built, we believe, for a law office atfd has been used as such .for a long time. It is literally full of law. Every crevice and cranny has been pene trated by legal lore; the dust and dirt of many years is also lodged thtre. The house ia haunted by the legions who have fallen5 victims to that insatiate monster, the Law; upon a (mini, moonlight night one" may see crowds of litigants-thronging its rooms, each chanting in the same low monotone: they niug but? one song and that, song only one word: "Fees, fees, fees.' S. nator Grover's 4rift for the pay- ment of the Modoc war to the State' of Oregon, has jmssed,. the Senate" appropriating $70,268, feeing the" amouut recommended for payment by Inspector General James A. Hardie. The House bill for the same amount has been favorably re ported by the Military Committee, nnd is on the House calendar with the passed Senate bill on the speak er's table. It stands a fair show for passage through the House during this or the next session of this Congress. Necessity is die mother of inten tion. During the siege of Paris her inhabitants learned the merits of horseflesh as food and since then its consumption has made steady pro gress in the French capital. In 1875, 7,000 horses were eaten; in 1881, 9,300. An Eastern railroad Superintend ent has issued time tables on which the hours are numbered from oife'to twenty -four. This saves looking up and down a long column for the let ters "a. m.," or "p. m." It is the most sensible method of indicating time, and should be adopted by ev erybody. In 1880 the canneries on the Colk umbia river packed and exported 540,000 cases of salmom-, worth over $2,700,000; aud $785,000 gold coin were paid the men wTho" caught the fish. A great many car-loads of yeung' oysters have been taken west over the . P". R. R within the last week or' two, to be tra ispla ited in Pacific Coast Bays. They are taken through in barrels filled with water. The editor of the Baker County Reveille is a commentator up'jh the Bible. He holds to the doctrine of endless punishment hereafter for' the wicked. The rate for silver at tfie- Carson mint has' been advanced to'ol 14 per ounce by authority of the Treasury Department. So many American:" are in Lond on that the hotels are over-crowded and it is difficult to get roomB. Red Boy, the famous horse, has been-sold; for SI, 800 to" a party in Salt Lake, who will take him East. Barnard's cavalry has been or dered from McDermit. It' will be garrisoned by infantr hereafter. - Senator Slater has again place01 us under obligations for public doc" umeuts. i" v 7 A &. M '1 ) j " i t ' i. 83
