Hpain refuse to exchange lieu'. I lot-ton. It Is suggested by one party that a good rich ransom might bring about his release. Another suggests that lloltson has seen too much and that his reKrt to his sup erior would Iks better that the talk of spy. If the latter the obstacle will soon I removed for Shatter will take the place soon. Full returns show that Mr. Tongue's pluraity In the first district is l!o:i2. (Jeer's plurality In the same counties is 24(51. This Is quite com plementary to Mr. Tongue against whom the fight was made. In the district Ueer received 42.1 votes more than Tonirue. and Veach received 8HC votes less than King. It appears therefore that there were more votes thrown for governor than for Con gressman. Luce, populist received IWtiti votes and CI in ton, prohibition ist 2213. Ho there was not a com plete fusion by 5079 vote. The progress made In the war against Hpaiu during the past week has been considerable. True no grewt battles have been fought or ports been bombarded, but the In vading land forces have without un fortunate incident arrived off Santi ago do Culm. Telegraphic comuni cation has been restablishetl, and he piwinbarkation of the land forces has lieen commenced, titMKl troops were put on shore Wednesday and Thurs day. The weather was favorable anil the Hpainlards waited for the morrow to make resistance. It was then ton late. No news of the arrival of tli "troop transports at Manila has Iteen received but it is thought they are there, and that tidings will yet come U lore the week closes. The Porto Hi co eXiedillon has been abandoned till Santiago and Cerveras fleet is de stroyed, but that is in the near fut ure. All one night last week Dr. Lane, ex -superintendent of the Insane asy lum sat and burned corn meal. The incident that led him to remove the cover from the meal tub was the ap pointment of Hon. I. L. Patterson of Marion county to lie collector of cus toms at Portland. Lane says once upon a fine Patterson swindled the state by filling a contract at the any linn with Inferior meal. Patterson answered long ago that he sold thai meal by sample, that the Jobber sent the meal directly to the asylum and that he, Patterson; knew nothing ol its dauiHged condition. Dr. Lane was suiierintendent then but never bieathed the matter. Who is the greater criminal, Patterson who was able to make the Joblier send good meal or Iane who kept quiet for three or four years and bet-Muse he was dismissed from his plaiM com mences to chew the rag? Why does not Lsne Include Gilbert, P.itiersons partner. In his tirade? The firm Is Gilbert A Patter on. Line is a democrat. Patterson republican. Ijine was removed from office and is anirrv and holes that the smoke from the burning meal will prove a solace. A correspondent writing from (is.- ton says that some few of the farmers in that vncinity la-t year having run out of binding twine finished bind ing their crop with hop twine such as Is uil for twuing hops. They claim to have had excellent success w ith this twine, binding fully as well as with the regular binding twine The twine is made from cotton, the only ditlU-ulty found was in the snmllness of the hall. Not having heeu wound for binding the balls do not (Mil tain enough twine although several halls can be fastened together. If this twine Is as good for binding pursues as is claimed by those who have used it, the manufacturer could soon lie Induced to wind it in proper shape for binding purposes. Cotton twine being much lighter than uianila twine one pound will go much farther and it would be much cheaper than man i la twtne at present prices. Tne farmers would by using this twine at least be able to show that nianila twine is not the only binding twine in the market ml that they were not at the mercy of (lie manufacturer of nianila twine. Tlir twine used at Gaston last year Was 12-ply cotton twine. Manila twin is higher this year and so is h liue. but the cotton twin is ffoiahly cheaper than the other., II A W.t II A S A SSEXA rOA- The Senate has been debating the I I'u- resolution annexing the Ha waiian Inlands, during the wet k hut 'hey are spiriting declamations tnai re uttered to vacant chsirs. One preliminary vote taken shows that there will la? a majority for the re solution when the vote is reached There are objection urged aifai nst annexation. One ground is that it hangesthe well e-tabli-hed p( licj if the nation w hich has la-en oonln-rerferetM-e with th eople ol foreign iwiuntrie. O J-atori say if we lake tho HawaiUn group we surrender vthalever prestige we have hereto fore held under the Monroe iloc trine. I u other won Is we by taking he new republic invite the interfer ence of F.uroean governments in American affairs. It seemi to the INUKPKNDKNT ,Dal '" objection s re not sufficient to (unify a vote sgainst annexation. We have form ulated the Monroe doctrine for the purswe of maintaining our interests in Central and South America. Uul instead of our commerce expanding southward into thine countries it giai westward towards Asia. Hon olula is a half way hou-toanda net-, ewary stopping place for not only our warship but our merchant ma rine. If taking the islands is a relin quishment of tho Monroe doctrint we should let it go for we get what is of more worth, lint it is not nec essary to give up our interests in Central America. We now see how difficult it is for an enemy to occupy a country with its navy al um and how difficult it is to throw an army of laud forces into a country beyond the sea. If Spain had industry how much more difficult would it be for Shafter to land his troops, Euro pean nations have not acknowledged the binding force of the Monroe doctrine further than the strength ol our nation compelled. Then there fore how much more readily will they observe the doctrine when our strength is developed by this Span ish war. Instead of giving up any thing by annexation we hold what we have Mid get more. Government is bound to defend the property rights of its citizens on laud, and it is equally bound to lixik sfter and protect our commerce at sea. With coaling stations at con venient intervals this can liest he done. The commerce of the Pacific should overshadow trafficking in any other direction. The civiliza tion of the Sandwich is lands is thai of the United States and the title to the territory Is, in Justice, quite as good as that to Illinois. True we can build no railroad to the new pos sessions but wo can slrinir a tele graph wire and guide ships there. The islands will be ours as they ought. I'M I Ml VrATKS BONUS. United States bonds are recognized as the most secure and stable form of obligation that investors can hold. They are attractive, not only because of the absolute security offer ed, but because there is at all times a public market for them on which holders can quickly sell, and they also offer the most desirable form of collateral if the holder wishes to se cure a tcmKrary loan. The fact that United States bonds are not subject to taxes of any character Federal, Slate, or municipal is a valuable feature of that form of lov stiment. United States bonds are issued in both cupon and registered form. ITI'oN HON lis. A cupon bond is payable to the hearer. It mtiy be bought and sold without formality as freely as any kind of property and without in dorsements of any kind. Owing to thefredomof transfer, coupon Isind are usually preferred by persons who expect to hold them hut a short time. Their disadvantage for the person who wishes to make a permanent in vestment lies in the danger that they might be lost or stolen, in which case the loss to the owner w ould be as complete as would he the less of a bulk note. The coupon I o-ids take their name from the method by which Interest is collected by the holder. Printed on the same sheet with the bond is a series of coupons or small certificates ot interest due, which ar so delghed that one is cut ( If at each interest period. Kieh coupon Is-ais the number of the IhuiiI and shows the date of the coupon's mat urity. The holder of a coupon Lund st each interest period, detaches the coupon due that day and collects it The coupons are payable at any Sub treasury, siul may he collected through any bank, snd w ill usually lie accepted by any fncrchsiit having a bank account, with whom the holder of the Ixuul has iltmlutt,'. The b ilder if a coupon bond n at- a any time have it converted into a registered bond free of charge. ItKli ISTKKKtl Iiiiniw A registered bond is paya'rie to 'he order of Ihe owner, snd can only tie trinsferred by being properly in dorsd and assigned by he nWiier. Sjcii assignment Is made by the owner tilling in the blank form on the Imck of the bond, and mint la v ilnesse,! by some otthvr authorized by thi regulations of the Treaurv Depart ment to witness ssinments. The owner of the registered bond who Wishes to part wph it writes hi name on the back of the bond in Ihe presence of the officer; then Ihe w itnesi,g otfi vr writes hi- name in Ihe proer place and affixes an impre-siou of his official seal. The offttvrs who are authorized to willies assignments are a Uuited States Judge, United States district attorney, clerk of a United Stales court, eiel-ctof of customs, collector or arsf-aaor of internal revenue, United States treasurer or Assistant Treasurer, or Ihe president or cashier of a national hank, or if lo a foreign country, a United States minister or counsul. Incases where there is no offi'vr within a reasonable distam-e, or when, through sicknes-. or for some other good reason, the owner of registered bonds can not go before one of these .fl1'i; the Treasury de partment will designate some person near the owner to act as witness. Whin the owner of a registered bund dispose of it and hss properly assig ied it, he delivers it lo the new owuer, w ho shiai d at once forward it lo Ihe Hgister of the Treasury for transfer on the hooks of the depart ment. The register eau:vls Ihe land ) forwarded and issues a new bond iu Ihe name of the new owner, aud sends it to him by registered mail. riie department makes no charge for transferring bonds. If the owner of a registered bond loses it, or if it is stolen from him he should at once notify the Secretary of the Treasury. A stoppage will be entered against the bond, aud, if it should I presented for transfer, the Department will hold posstsiou of the bond until the ownership is clearly established. If a lost or stolen bond Is not recovered within six mouths, Ihe Department will issut) a duplicate boud upon proof of loss au I a bond f . i.reMnni!jr beicg fur- j nished. The interest on registered bonds is paid by the government by mttans of checks. In order thai no mistake may be made in the payment of in terest, the books of the Department are "closed" for a period, varying ac cording to the importance of th loan. Jhe hoiks of the 4 per cent loan of 1!()7 are closed for the whole month preceding Hie payment of u quarters Interest. On other loans th books are closed for fifteen days pre ceding th? interest payment. Durlnjf this period no transfers are made, and Ihe lime is devoted lo preparing "schedules" which contain the nainfs of Ihe owners, Ihe amou it of bonds each one holds, and the amount of interest due each one. When these schedules have lcu prepared and proved, they are sent lothe Treasur er of the United States, who immed iately hss checks and envelopes ad dressed, aud in due time each check is mailed to Ihe address of the owner. The checks for the more distant ooints are first mailed. Interest check are obligation of the United Slates, and, of course, are good every where. Coupon bonds are Issued iu denom inations of f2t), f 100, foOO, ami flOOO. Register bonds are issued in denom inations of 20, 1100, r00, I, IK Mi, to,000, f 10,000. How TO srilst'KIIIK l-'oK THE NEW HO.NIM. The war loan which is now being offered will lie sold lo sulscriters at par huring Ihe period of aulawription, which end July 14, 1H8. The me thod of subscription ha been made as simple as possible. Ulank forms may be ob tained at every money-order poet- office, and at most of the banks and express offices, anil on these foams is cleriy Indicated all that it is neces ary for the subscriber lo fill out. The sutiscrilier may himself mail to the Treasuiey department at Washington the blank form filled out, together whit hi remittance covering the par value of the amount of bond for which he wishes to subscribe. That remittance may Iss in whatever form best suits the sutiscrilier' conven ience in currency, bank draft, check posf-ollli-e money order, or express money order. The day the currency I received, or the day the proceed are received from the checks, drafts or money orders, the subscription will be entered and will immediately begin drawing interest. When the bonds are deli vered, a check will ac company each delivery covering Ihe iuten-sl at 3 percent from the day the subscription i enter! to the 1st of August, the dale of the bond, and from which date ihe tsnid will carry their own interest. nAKKfcVOf K KILL.
