POINTS IN TBS PLATFOBM. ;
The following are three of the most
important planks in the platform :
We have an abiding faith and implicit
confidence in the integrity, good faith
and patriotism of President Cleveland,
and believe that he will accomplish, so
far a3 in his power, before the close of
his term of office, all the pledges of the
democratic party contained in the
national platform, adopted at Chicago
in 1892. . -'
We reaffirm the position that has ever
been maintained by the democratic
party, that gold and silver are equally
the people's money: We are opposed to
all measures 'of discrimination against
silver, and demand free coinage to sup
ply the demand of business, and that all
money issued by the government be
made a legal tender for all debts, both
pnblic and private.
We denounce the act of the last legis
laiure wnereoy was -repealed what is
known as "The Mortgage Tax Eaw,'
and we demand its re-enactment at the
next session. '
TEBBIBLE BIOTING.
Foreigners Killing xbose IV ho Oppose
Them In the Coke Regions. ,
Pittsburg, April 18. Special to Thk
Chronicle There is terrible rioting in
the coke regions. Hungarians, Poles,
Italians and the foreign element general
ly are out in force and are using weapons
indiscriminately. Many were killed this
morning and it is impossible to quell
tne disturbance, which bids fair to
amonnt to an insurrection. Local officers
are powerless, and the governor has been
urgently .requested - to call out the
militia of the state.

ATE ITS OWN TAIL.
The Absurd Trick of One of the Central
American Chwmeleon.
A traveler from Central America
recently told rather an amusing- story.
-uown in my country," he said, "one
of the first things you get acquainted
with is a small, bright green lizard.
They are quite tame, harmless and
very lively. When caught by the tail
they have a peculiar fashion of slipping-
away,' leaving that appendag-e
behind them.
"One afternoon I was sitting- on mv
doorstep watching one of these little
creatures darting about for flies. It
became quite bold, and in one of its
quick movements jumped- on my foot.
I made a sudden grab and caught it by
the tail. With a wriggle it was off,
leaving that portion of its bodv still in
my hand.
"As I had no particular use for it. I
threw it on the ground. In a few min
utes I noticed that a lot of ants had
discovered the piece of tail, and were
dragging it off as fast as they could to
their hole close by. When thev had
arrived almost to their destination I
noticed the lizard, a few inches away,
intently watching, the ants and his-
missing property.
Just as the ants were makinir a
final pull to their nest the lizard dart
ed out among them, and, seizing his
bit of a tail, swallowed it with evident
relish."
Now is the time to kill squirrels. Sure

, Thereisnobetterillustra
tion of this old saying than
the numerous schools now-a-days,
devoted to practical
kitchen processes. These
schools have been alert to
find a reasonable substitute
for lard, the use of which is so
generally-condemned. This
want has been fully met by
CQTTOLEHE
the new vegetable Lard.
When science strikes the
kitchen, it strikes home and
everybody gets the benefit.
Cottolene , is a clean, deli
cate and economical substi
tute for Lard cleaner than
the hog, delicate as the fin

cal from its low price and
small quantity required to
be used. Prove it for your

ENDERSBY.
The cattle on a thousand hills are fat
and the grouse are hooting on the hill
sides. .
We are having fine spring weather and
consequently farmers are in for a big
crop, the fall and winter being unusually
wet, with very little frost. Volunteer
wheat has every appearance of making a
big crop, while fall-sown never looked
more promising for a big yield. Spring
plowing never was better. So our farm
ers are taking time by the forelock and
are daily adding spring-ploughed aeres
to the already green fields of volunteer
and fall sown grain.
Our mountain streams are full of fish
of the speckled variety, and our orchards
have every appearance of a large crop.
What wonder that we feel like the balls
of BaBhan? The only drawback now is
money enough to pay taxes, but, oh,
what use in growling. The democrats of
Wasco in convention assembled endorsed
the present administration of Grover
Cleveland up to the present time, with
thousands of people out of employment
and a- vast army of unemployed march
ing for the capital, like the Israelites of
old, barely finding subsistence enough
to, keep soul and body inside of a four
bit shirt and a six bit dress suit with the
farmers of Wasco county unable to pay
their taxes after a bountiful harvest.
Oh consistency, though art a jewel.
