Full returns show that Mr.

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

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

Ijine was removed from office and is

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

Slates, and, of course, are good every
