The rcul.lican plstforiu of tbe June election in Oregon Is as follow: "The republicm of Oregon, la convention awe nil.leil, resnlrin their tielitf in snd loyalty to tba gold Htaudnrd.

We call upon all who twieve in sound money to unite with the republicans of Oregon lu the important elections of this yesr io order that a victory may te won for the gold Mtsntlsrd so derive as for ever to preclude the debasement of our currency by the free coinage of xilver. "We heartily indorse the policy of the sdruiuirttraiion particularly in st curing the Philippine islands, and demand thsl they shall be relsibed American territory. We hsve confidence that the Ainerlcau people without departing from their traili lions, will give security to personal and property rights, j tint ice liberty and tuuuliiy tie fore the law to all who live beneath its flag. "We indorse the policy of the ad miiiitdralion in suppressing tbe iu furred Ion in the Philippines, headed by Aguinaltlo. We point with pride lo the honorable part played by the Hecond Oregon regiment in this wsr, They met with victory in ever cum but and covered their stats and couu try with glory ou every field.. We condole with the families of those members of the regiment who lost their lives in the conflict and extend our congratulations lo the survivor of the regiment on the brilliant and honorable record they have made. "We regard trade with the Orient as one of the great sources of our na tional wealth in the future, and an open d(sr in China sb an important aid lo the growth of our trade in the Orient. We commend the successful efforts of the present administration ami enpcciHlly of its secretary of state lo secure by treaty with the several Euroan siwers the right to the tree introduction of American goods into this great empire. The republican party in Oregon recognir.es the vital necessity of con trol of the organization and curtail ment of the powers of trusts and combinations of capital by the state within its borders, and pledges its support In the approaching legisla ture to laws defining and carrying out those objects. We are in favor of retrenchment and reform in the expenditure of public money; we pledge the repub lican parly to favor the enactment of all legislation looking to an economl cal aduiinititratlon of public affairs. "We favor the pending Constitu tlonal amendment for an increase In the nuiiilier of Hupretne Court Judges from three to Ave. We point with pride to the legis lation adopted by the last legislature, It aholinhed the railroad comatfisslon. It reduced the legal rate of interest to C percent. It passed an act for the submission to the ptople of a Constitutional amendment providing for the initiative and referendum. Il enacted a registration law for tbe protection of tbe purity of the ballot. As experience demonstrates this hu-t act to be cumbersome in some parti culars, we pledge the republican leg islature to make effort for its amend ment, lo the end that the registra tion of quilifled voters may be facili tated. "We are unalterably opposed lo any measure looking to the leasing of the public domain, believing that such a system would have an un- lotihted tendency to hasten the con centration of laud ownership in the hands of a few individuals and gainst the long-established Ameri can policy or encouraging home building.

The history of wool imports into the United Hlatea should lot couclu sive proof to every owner of shoep in this country that free trade means the use of foreign wool in American factories, while protection means the use of American wool.

Under the McKiuley Tariff iu ISilll we imported 172,433,8118 unds of foreign wool. In 1894, while buyers were wait ing for the free-trade Wilson bill to become a law, we imported only 65, 162,585 pounds. In tbe free-trade years, when Am erlcan sheep were being slaughtered because it didn't pay our farmers, to sell their wool for a few cekts a pound, the foreign wool came tlo.xl ing Into our markets by shiploads more and more of it each year. In 1897 we bought, under the free- trade Wilson bill, 850,852,026 pounds of foreign wool. This was 175,420 tons of It enough to load fifty -eight British merchant vessels each carry ing 3,000 tons of wool grown niMtly in British colonies. This is the sort of pro-British treaty that the demo crats make. Last year, under the protection of tbe Diugley Tariff, we ouly imported 76,730,209 pounds of foreign wool neaily 300,000,000 pounds lees than in 1897. Last year American wool was used in making American cloth in Ameri can mills. American sheen were worth 11.36 each more than in 1895, and American wool sold at from 10 to 18 cents a pound higher lhau iu 1896, sheep and wool having practi cally doubled in value.

A g'auce at the political history of the Uulted Slates for the last fifty years will show any man nut besjtteu iu prejudice that under Republican rule, a proactive tariff and an houtst fldaucisl system, the forward stew of home pnsJucliou, home manufac turing and home and foreign com inercial expansion have been u-srve lous. Ou the other hand deuia.-ratic free-trade tariffs, vagaries and pet theories of economy and opMwltlon lo progress, have as generally been attended With business depression, uottmercla! inactivity, strike against reductions in wages, and general want and distress, of which the years of the last Cleveland administration are a fair example. Corning N. Y. "Journal." -....... TALK FOR Bl'M'OMB. We frequently come acrd a persons who say one thing, but those ol Ject is for ttu'ir hearers lo imagine they have intimated something else. They are oeldom found to be open and aboveboard iu matters to which is atteuded the least danger lo thtin selves. They are of hinting sort. The democrats can be likeued to them. Our democratic representa tives wish ti pass a resolution sym pathising wl'b tbe Boers, which would be iquivalent to a declaraliou of war against Oreat Britaic. Empty words of sympathy are worthless. Why don't those democrats, if they mean buainess, do business In straight business-like sty I. and de clare war against a nation wllh which we are at peact ? For tbe sake of every country struggling for liber ty why do not the democrats demand that our army and navy be increased and our seveuty-five million people lie kept iu constant slate of war tart? Instead, I hey want to help tbe Bows, anlttgonixH England, taking extreme meanures, and are at the same lime Inconsistently yelling "militarism!" We cannot as a gov erumeni help tne Boors unless we inter vent; we cannot intervene with out inviting armed eontlict with Ureal Britain, and it would not be the part of sagacity to Invite armed conflict with Great Britain without a larger army of trained soldiers, a better navy and stronger fortifica tions. The democrats, as they have for these .....r.y years for poor old Ireland, fight with Iheir mouths. The republicans get prepared to some extent beiore doubling up their flats in the face of the strongest power ou earth, and then tight. The Bis-r res olution was offered so that it could be defeated and political thunder manufactured. Had Ihe denns-rats thot Ihe resolutinn would have passed l hey would have thot long A MILITARY BURIAL. A warrior brave who fought with zest For Tyranny, is dead : A bullet through the butcher' breast For I.ils-rty hath sped.

There are moreover, more than 100 new mills of different kind in process of erect ion in this district. Plainly it is a "new Houih," Tbe old days when Ihe inlen-de of the South were purely agricultural have gone.

MUM EOF PEE EDEN IT. What ia the use of all this how shout ltesidcnt McKiuley as "czsr,' "dictator," "Caeser," etc? The government ot porto Rico, as provid e l in the bill just passed by congress, is practically the same as that provid el for our other territories, similiar iu geuerul substance with that of Arizona aud New Mexico. Not only this, bul the strongest kind of precedent is furnished by tbe acts of tlie very framern of thedeclurstiou of Independence and Constitution I bourns JtnVrson, and others to whom the demis-rals like to look for ii'Npirstion. Under Ihe provision of tbe Purto Ricau bill, Ihe nativea elect a lower house or assembly of their own while there is an upper house or ex executive council appointor by Ihe President, iu addition to the t over nor, judges and other apKintive otlicers. lu a general way this con forms to the goveri ment of thoe territories which are commonly sup posed to be cast for future statehood but It is Dot so much this to which comparison may be made as lo earlier precedents in Ibe history of this country. The first precedent to which attcn may be called is that known as the ordiance. of 1787, a law enacted by Congress in that year for the govern ment of tlie Northwest territory, framed aud enacted by men who helped make the Declaration of In-deis-udence and who two years later helped to frame the Constitution of the United Stales, about which the present day kickers so love to prate, It is interesting to note that, uudtr this law, ail Ihe executive officers ot tbe Northwest territory were appoint oil i.y the rederal tlovernment pre cisely as they are under the provis ions of Ihe Porto Kican act. When President McKiuley appoints the officials for the government ol Porto Rico, lie will be doing ouly what (leorge Washington did over a hun dred years ago for a large tract of territory la-yood tlie Ohio River. Another precedent is found in the d Uise of Thomas Jefferson in con necliou with the Louisiua tract in 80,1. At his behest be was empow ered by Congress in that yesr to ap point ail the ..civil, military and judicial officers of Ihe new territory and lo HtipM.rt them with the army aud navy of the United States. A year la er auother aud more coiupre hi'ii.sive act authorized Piesidcnt Jeffejson to spiMiint tbe Governor of Louisiua, the secretary and legitda lure of thirteen members. These fifteen officials every one of Ihein appointed by ihe president were to be territorial legislature, and their ac.s were lo l huiject lo f ederal veto. This legislation, it will be noted, is less broad than that accorded to the Porto Ricutis. In Lousiiana the entire L"gisluture was appointed by the President, while Ibe Porto Ricans have I lie privilege of choosing their own lower hoic-e, and the members of the executive council at least five must be native Porto Ricans. Still another precedent la found in Ihe government authorised for the territory ol Missouri in 1812, which plan Is-ars quite a resetubleuce to the Porto Ricau bill. Iu this the terri tory M as given a legislative council and a houxe of re pienentalives, but Ibe house alone was elected by the iK.'ople. '1 his house could nominate eigi.iet-u persons for Ihe legislative council, and out of these ihe nine iiii nils-rs who were to make up the council or upper branch of the legis lature were selected by tlie Presi dent. As for the cry of "taxation without representation," it Is absolutely with out Inundation. Tlie Porto Ricans can in no wise be likeued lo tlie American colonists who protested against taxation without representa tion in the eighteenth century. In thai instance they were taxed, but received no return whatever for their taxes. They were governed from Knglaud without the slightest word in their government, without even Itieir lower branch ol assembly, ami Ihe taxes were alisorbed by the mother country, in the first place civilization has broadened since then and government is broader, eveu in a mouarchy, aud England could not do to-day whal Oeorgelll did in the days of yore. But, aside from that, the Porto Rkans will have some thing lo say alajut their government, the executive siwer of tbe President boing bul to provide against uu wiser! legislation. Then, so far as regards the taxation, whatever is collected aa a result of the tariff duties assessed by tne bill Just passed by Congress is devoted exclusively lo Ibe govern ment and improvement of Porto Rico, aud not one cent ia dlrvi t ed to I tie UniteiiSlales.

Dallas, Polk county, is stirred by tlie report from Fall City, a village to the west In the foot hills, that a genuine wild man is roaming there about. It is supposed that the man of the wood is A.

Henry Psdberg was up Tuesday from his ranch on Rhea Creek where he has 700 acres in wheat, w hich he says is six weeks ahead of usual, re ports Ibe Heppner Usr.etle. Mr. Pad berg la one of the pioneers who made this country. The first wheat he raised here in 1870 he had to haul to Walla Walla, 100 miles, to get grou nd. A resident of Tillamook county who lives uear tbe beach, last week, found seven whales stranded on the beach. These he killed with a butch er knife not being able to kill them with bin rifle. He atripcd the car casses of ihe biutioer and now nas several barrels of oil. The whales were from 8 to 18 feet long, not big ones to be sure, only Just calves.

From 200 hens since the 6th of Mar., he has marketed 624 doz n eggs, lar- sides those necessary for table use and for hatching, 300 young chick ens. Mr. Doty has been In the u' try business for five years, and think it can be made to pay if prosrly managed. He will increase the nutnls-r of hens to 1000. The fire test of Prlnevllle's new wster system was made last week. Four streams were simultaneously brown from as many different hyd rants for nearly an hour, each of which came up to the requirements. rhecity Is now practically ssfa from the tire fiend, the hydrants bei ng so distributed that at leant four stream might be played on any lire that may K"cur. This test Is interesting as be ing a trial of what a fl iwing artesian well will do in the Priueville basin. This is the first arteaian well to Ins laired In Eastern Oregon. Miss Ida Foss, aged 25, and a grsduste of Ihe Monmouth State Normal schisil was shot and instant ly killed at Trout Lake, Washington across the river from Hissl River, by Ben Wignilx. Her slayer when too late realized what he had done, whereuiMin he leaned uhhi his rill,) and shot his own worthless self. Miss Poms had successfully taught the Trout Lake school for two years and was a general favorite in the nelghborhtsni. She repulsed the love attentions of Wsgnilx and In so doing seems lo have exercl-s-d rare good judgment.
