Adlai E. titeveuson, the democratic nominee for vice president, served one term in that oftice, from 1893 to 1807. Immediately thereafter he waa appointed by Pres. McKinl' y on tbe European Monetary Commission of which Beuator Wolcod waa chair man. That committee failed to eon Vlnce the European commercial class that international free coinage of silver la desirable. None of the European nations were willing to undertake the scheme either singly or joiutly. The committee returned to America, aa was at the time sup posed, opposed to the 16 to I cause, but Adlai aeerus to have wobbled liack again. J)E I'lTV UIS1 KltT AT I OKXtY. Harrison Allen, the district attor ney for this district, has tiled in the office of the county clerk, the ap polntmeut of E. B-. Tongue aa deputy district attorney for this county. Mr Tongue, besides the endorsement of tbe influential citizens of the county had that of the delegates to the state convention who assisted in the noml nation of Mr. Allen. Mr. Tongue is a native Oregonian and was born in llillsboro. . He at tended the publicschool at llillsboro. attended the Hi ale University ft three years, and completed his col lege course at Pacific University, i this county. He studied law in hi father's office and was admitted the bar in 1897. A partnership with his father was formed, and he bp. came the junior memlier of the firm of Thus. II. 4 E. li. Tongue. He I of course, a republican in Klitics, ud during tbe last political cam palgn, though scarcely recovered from a severe attack of pneumonia took an active part in the politiml campaign in this county, and iimde quite numlier of political speeches in favor ol the election of the repub lican ticket. Mr. E. 11. Tongue, in practice of nearly three years has been remarks bly succeHsful. In that .time he has lost but four vej-dicts, ai.d those Jh rough no fault of his, but lavaiise the evidence was unfavorable to hi aide. Besides being professional!, strong, he Is a favorite In society, and Mr. Allen has exercised rare good Judgment in the (election of his dep uty In this county. The appointment of the youngt member of th" firm to this office withdraws tbe senior member from tbe defence of criminal cases, at least In just icea' courts, and from all ch prosecuted by E. B. Tongue. N donbt the other members of the bar at llillsboro will be both ready and willing to take the practice thus relinquished. LWVIU HA V A VOSU THE S'A TWXS Not toimeut-d with lb Jetouic flowing from the entangling alliance of the old world and enjoying tl benefit Ihe Monroe Doctrine ronf. rs. the United Hiates announces our (Mil- icy and our purpose in China. The identical note quoted below has t een sent by our administration to all the powers. Itiao)ui-t aud ao politic that it is serving aa a model fur shap ing the policy of Ihe world toward China. Without deflating it, the United Htates dictate to the power bow they shall treat Chtiut. Ihe rule is simple and easily olservel. We only ling to the Monroe Doc tnue In Asia. We no more expect to eipand territorially ou the Asiatic contiuent than we did when we en gaged to pacify Cubai and insure a stable government. We send foop" to China to compel eace and for Ihe protection of American citizens. We demand no territory, not even a cottl- ng t-ttliou'. II territory falls to us it will lie unexpected aud tiken be- ause we cannot surrelnlt-r it with safety, and thus defeat the very o it for which we invade China. The United Ktateti will not recognize a -late of war with China. The dis turbance is a mol, and we, as a friend t ) the Chinese government, help to quell It. The other government have adopted ihe American idea. The full text of Mr. lily's note is published in these wonli-: ' Depart inert ol State, Washington, July 3, 1900. "In this critical pot-lure of Hff.iirr In Cliiua, it is deemed appropriate to brine the attitude of Ihe United States as far as present clreuimttnet's M?rmit this to be done. We adhere to the policy "iiiitiht -d by us in 18o7 ' of peace with the Chinese nation, ol furtherance of lawful commerce, and if protection ol live aud properly of our citizens by all means guaranleeil under extralerrt rial treaty right" and by the law of nations. If wrong lie done to our citiens, we propos. to hold the responsible authors It the u t rmost accountability. "We regard the condition ot Pekiu as one of virtual anarchy, whereby power and resHinsibility is practical ly devolved upon the local provincial authorities. So long as they are not in overt collusion with rebellion and use their power lo protect foreign life and projierty, we regard them as rep resell ting the Chinese people, with whom we seek to remain lu peaci and friendship. 'The purpose of the president is as it has been heretofore, t ) ai t concur rently with the ether powers first in opening up communication with I'e kin and rescuing the American otll cials, missionaries and other Ameri cans who are in danger; second!, affording all pons! tile protection everywhere in China to American life and property; thirdly, in guard ing and protecting all legitimate American interests, and fourthly, in uiding to prevent a spread of the dis inleis to the other provinces of lh empire, and n recurrence ol such disasters. "It is,of course, too early to forecast the means of attaining this last re sult, but the policy of the govern meut of the Uoitid States is to seek a solution winch may bring atnu permanent safety and peace to China prt serve territorial and adminii-tra- tive entity, protect all rights guaran teed to friendly powers by treaty and. international law and safeguard fur Ihe world the principle of equa! and impartial trade with all parts ol the Chinese Empire, "iou will communicate Ihe pur- I ort of this instruction to the Miuip. ler for Foreign Affairs. Hay Commenting on tbe above note th Loudon Times says; "it will meet with general appro bation and welcome in Great Britain While it Is uianilestly dictated by rcgurd for American interests, I coincides closely in all important resiects with England's avowed pol icy. Th r ason Is' simple. I China tbe li West of both coui trie? are primarily commercial, and it through their commercial interest! that their political interer-t'i are d rived. Secretary Hay bears this fundamental I act steadily In mind. The deiim-popic platform is strong on what shouldn't have la-en done, hut seems hoelcsa!y at a 1ms to know what should Ik done.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM Pltn.AMI.TniA. Following la the foil text of tbe platform adopted by the Re publican Niitioiial convention t The Kepiililicar gof the United States, Uirongh their chosen representativea, met in national convention, looking back upon au nuKnrpaasexl record. of achievement, and looking forward into a great field of dnty aud opportunity aud appealing to the judgment of their countrymen, make these declaration: The expectation in which the Ameri can people, turning from the Democratic, party, intrusted power four years ago to a Republican chief magistrate and a Repnblioan congress, has been met and satisfied. When the people then as sembled at the polls after a term qf Democratic! legislation and administra tion, busine was dead. Industry para lysed aud tbe national credit disastrous ly impaired. The country's capital was hidden away snd its labor distress ed and unemployed. The Democrats had no other plan with which to im prove the miyons condition which they bad themselves produced than to coin silver at the ratio of 18 to 1. Prosperity rironght By Repnbllean. The Rt-pi-blican party denouncing this plan as snre to pmdnoe conditions even worse thnr. those from which re lief was sought, promised to restore prosperity by means of two legislative measures a protective tariff and a law making (told the standard of Talus. The people by great majorities issued to the Republican party a commission to enact these laws. This commission has been executed and tha Republican promise is redeemed. Prosperity mora fenerai and mora abundant than ws have ever known has followed these enactments. There is no longer any controversy as to tha value of any gov eminent obligations. Every American aollar Is a sold dollar or its assured equivalent, and American credit stands higher than that of any other nation. Capital la fully employed and every where labor Is profitably occupied. No sincls fact can more strikingly tall tbe story of what Republican govern ment means to the country than this that while dnring the whole period from 1801 to 1897 there waa an excess of ex porta over imports of only $.MI,034,41'7, there has been in the short three year of the present RepnblicanadminUtrationan xopsa of ex poru over imports in tha enormons tnm of f 1.4RS, 7:18,094, and while the American people, sustained by this Republican legilation, bars been achieving these splendid triumphs In their business and commerce, they hare conducted and in Tictory conclud ed war for liberty and human rights.

Ws indortw Ihe aituiinlHtratiou of 'William McKiuley. It act have been estabhahed iu wiadom and in patriot lam, aud at home and al roml it ha ili tiuclly elevatetl aud exU uded tbe influ aaoa of the Antericau natiou. Walk ing untried path and facing unforeseen reapoUHibiUt'ea, President McKiuley haa been in every situation Ihe true Ameri can patriot aud upright statesman, clear in vision, strong in jmttfuieut, firm in actiou, always luHpiriug and deserving the ooufiduiice of his countrymen. In akkiug the Anierioau ptxiple toiu dorse this Republican record aud to re new their couimiMinu to the Republi can party, we remind them of the fact that the menace to their prosperity b.ts always resided in Democratic principle and no leas iu the geuorul incapacity of the Democratic party to condui t publio affaire. The prima eHauutial of busi ness prosperity is public confidence in the good kenae of the government and its ability to deal intelligently with all new problems of admiuistration and legislation. That confidence the Demo emtio party haa never earned. It is hopelessly inadequate, and the country's prosperity, when Democratic uorcH3 ut the polls i anuouueed, halts aud ceaat-a in niere antiaipatioB of Democrutio blunders aud failures. Dselaratlea for th Gold Ktaadard. W renew our allegiunoe to the nri... dpi of the gold standard, aud dec lure our confidence in the wisdom of the legislation of the Fifty-sixth congress by which the parity of all our money and the stability of our currency on a gold basis has been secured. We recognise that interest rates are a po tent factor in production and business activity and for tbe purpose of further equalising and of further loweriug the rates Of interest we furor such mone tary legislation as will enable the vary ing needs of the season and or all xv tioas to be properly met in order that trade may be evenly sustained, labor steadily employed aud commerce en larged. The rolume of money ju cir culation was never so great pur capita as It is today. We declare our steadfast opposition to the free and ualiinitod coinage of silver. No measure to that eud could be considered which waa without the support of the leaxling commercial coun tries ef the world. However firmly Kepubllcaa legislation may seem tc have sesursd the country against the peril of base and aiscredited currency thseleetioa of a Deaiocratio president could net fail te impair the country' credit aad to bring onoe more into ques tion theinteatiou of the Ainoricau peo ple te maintain upua the gold standard the parity of their money circulation. The Democratic party must be con vinced that the American people will never tolerate the Chicago platform. On the Qnestltta of Trusts. We recognize the necessity and pro priety of the honest oo-operation of cap ital to meet now business conditions, and especially to extend our rapidly in creasing foreign trade, but we condemn all conspiracies and combinations in tended to restrict busiuee-i, to create monopolies, to limit production or to control prices, aud favor such legis lation as will effectually restrain and prevent all snoh abuses, protect and promote competition and secure the rights of producers, laborers aud all Who are engaged in industry and com merce. - Iieelaratlna for Protection. We renew our faith In the policy of protection to American labor. Iu that policy our industries have been estab lished, diversified and maintained. By protecting the home market, the com petition has been stimulated and pro duction cheapened. Opportunity the inventive genius of our people baa been secured and wages in every deport, ment of labor have been maintained at high rates, highnr-now than evor before, thus distinguishing our working people in their better conditions of life from those of any competing country. Eu joyiug the blessings of American com mon schools, secure in the right of self government and protected in tha occu pancy of their own markets their con stantly increasing knowlege and skill have enabled them finally to enter the markets of the world. We favor tbe associated policy of reciprocity, so di rected as to open our markets on favor able terms for what we do not ourselves produce in return for free foreign mar kets. In the further interests of American workmen, we favor a more effective re striction of the immigration of cheap labor from foreign lauds, the extension of opportunities of education for work ing children, the raising of tha age limit for child labor, the protection of free labor as against convict labor and an effective system of labor insurance. Our present dependence on f-eign shipping for nine-tenths of our foreign carrying is a great loss to th industry of this country. It is also a serious danger to our trade for its sudden with drawal in the event of a European war would seriously cripple our expanding foreign commerce. The national de fense and naval efficiency of thia coun try, moreover, supply a compelling rea son for legislatiou which will enable us to recover onr former place among t!is trade carrying fleets of the world. Liberal Petition I.itw a Favored. The nation owes a debt of profound gratitude to the soldiers and sailors who have fonglit its Isittles, and it is the gov ernment's fluty to provide for tlm sur vivor and for the widow and orphan of those who biivi fallen in the coun try's wars. The pension biws founded in this just sentiment should be lateral and should te liberally administered, and preference should l givou, wher ever practicable, with reflect to eiu ployment in the public M rvice, to sol diers and sailors and to their widows and ophan. Repnnllrana and tiie Civil Service. We commend the policy of the R. publican purtyin maintaining the effici ency of the civil service. The admini- tration has acted wisely in its effort to secure for pnl lic service in Cuba, P.ir'O Rico, Hawaii nnd the Philippines only those whose fitness has beeu determin ed by training and experience. We be lieve that employment in the publio aervio in these territories should lie confined, as fur a pntcticabln, to their Inhabitant.

Tha Dingley act, amended to pro vide suffloient revenue for the conduct of the war, has so well performed its work that it has been possible to redaoe the war debt in the sum of 940,000,000. So ample are the government's revenues and so great is the public confidence in tha Integrity of its obligations, that its newly funded two per Ocnt bonds sell at a premium. The country is now jastifled in expecting and it will be the policy of the Republican party to bring about a reduction of the war taxes.

In accepting by the treaty of Paris the just responsibility of our victories in the Spanish war, the president and the senate won th undoubted approval of the American people. No other course was possible than to destroy Spain's sovereignty throughout the West Indies anil in the Philippines. That course created our responsibility before the world and with the unorgan ized population whom our intervention had freed from Spain, to provide for maintenance of law and order, and for the establishment of good government and for this performance of international obligations. Our authority could not be less than our responsibility, and wherever sovereign rights were extend ed, it became the high duty .of the gov ernment to maintain its authority, to pot down armed insurrection aud to confer the blessings of liberty and civil isation upon all the rescued peoples. The largest measure of self-govern ment oonsistant with their welfare and our duties shall be secured to them by law. To Cuba, independence and self government were issued in the same voice by which war was declared and to the letter this pledge shall be performed.
