: . PARTY PLATFORMS.
' TABTT PLATFORMS as & rule have but little in-
i fuenoe In tha ensuing campaign and election. To
BhJ tvl there axe exceptions, as when a party in
lta platiorm makes soma mora or less radical declaration,
that la to some extent new or strange, and calculated, if
carried into practical effect, to make a somewhat definite
' change ot policy in a matter directly affecting- the peopfe.
- Bu at present the party platforms in this state, .and In
the country generally, are for tha most part perfunctory,
and will scarcely be noticed by the majority of voters.
This is all the more true because the average voter ot
intelligence, perception and memory know thai platforms
are notoriously Insincere jthey are '"made to get in on,"
not to stand and work on when a party gets in. The Demo
emtio party, for .example, has for many qukdrennlal
periods been declaring; against a thigh protective tariff.
: whose object la to rob the many for the benefit of the few,
but It la not forgotten that when that party last had an
' opportunity to end this system of reciprocal rapine It did
nothing; or next to nothing, in that direction; and It Is
observed that man" Democrats in congress are as extreme
protectionists as Republicans are, whenever their districts
have any special Interest to be protected, and enabled
. thus to plunder tha people.- "
Yet the Oregon pomoorata properly made tariff re
vision and trust smashing the main feature of their plat-
', formr for notwithstanding the unenviable record of the
national party on this subject, it Is vet the- only hope of
the people for relief, for the Republican party is so closely
; and Irrevocably tied up with the high tariff beneficiaries
and trusts, which are its financial partners and backers
-" that K can effect no reform, nor7 Indeed does it seriously
profess an Intention of doing so. Its openly announced
' policy la simply to "stand pat" on the",r assumption that a
majority ot voters are fools, and take pleasure in being
humbugged and robbed.
The tariff and trusts constitute the paramount Issue,
and will, until the Democratic party, or some other party,
" under some great, courageous, fearless Indomitable leader,
.defying all corrupting Influences and aid, shall with sin
cerity and true devotion to the people's interests effect
necessary reforms. ; -
The Republican state platform la for the most part a
mere parrot-like repetition of stock phrases, a string of
' perfunctory persiflage, interspersed with especially laud
' atory references to the president It repeats the assump
, tlon that such prosperity as the country has recently en
Joyed Is entirety due to the Dlngley tariff law, a propo
, attlon that insults the intelligence of every man fit to cast
-a. ballot It has the audacity to commend "the fearless
course" of the president and Attorney-General Knox to
ward the trusts, when everybody knows that the steel
trust, the beef trust, the sugar trust, and a hundred others,
are pursuing their high-handed career of national robbery
. unmolested.
; ; But the curiosity of this document Is found in its con-
; tradictory declarations about the Philippines. It Indorses
everything that has been done In or with reference to those
, Islands, and immediately proceeds to stultify that Indorse
ment by demanding radical changes, that everybody knows
, the trusts will not allow the Republican party to make.

A GRATIFYING MOVEMENT.
HE WELL-ATTENDED ' course of lectures upon
an important period of the history of painting,
given last week for the Art association, are to be
noted among the many indications of the Increase of op
portunity In this city for the cultivation and gratification
of those tastes which tend to the adornment of life and
open new and varied avenues of enjoyment.
In a commercial community where energy is chiefly di
rected toward the increase of material prosperity, such
tendencies are especially gratifying. These lectures were
given at the suggestion of a number of ladles who have
met in classes during the past year to study, with the
help of books and the best of reproductions, the hUtory
of selected periods of European art. '
The study of the art of a people is the study of its
civilisation and so not to be limited a a means of culture.
An appreciation of It masterpieces calls forth the best
qualities of mind and feeling and familiarity with them
means a store-house of treasure, an Ineatimable'source of
wholesome pleasure.
