The quickest relief for a
cold is by Scott's emulsion of
cod-liver oil.
You will find the edge taken
off in a night; and, in three or
four days, youll be wondcrin
whether that cold amounted to
anything anyhow.
That's relief. If you tackle
it quick, the relief is quick ; if
you wait, the relief won'
come you know how cold

Republican Platform.
, The republican party ol Oregon, iu
state convention assembled, proud of its
record and past history, its devotion to
the principles of human liberty and hu
man rights, its great and imperishable
names which lend principles for which
it has contended iu the past in state,
and national affairs and as an assur
ance of its continued fidelity to the great
principles for which it has contended in
tho past in statu and national affairs,
docs hereby make and allirm tho follow
ing declaration of its principles:
The events of the Into war in which
Spain carried us into the Philippine Is
lands. We bold it to bo consistent with
the principles of liberty and of our na
tional lifo that the sovereignty of the
United States should be maintained in
tho islands, under such local self-government
as the people may bo, or may
becomo, fitted to participate in. We
therefore declare aguimt all proposals
looking to the retirement of tho United
States from the Philippine Islands.
That in the war which President
Roosevelt has inaugratcd nguinst tho
gigantic combinations of incorporated
capital he has the united and enthusias
tic support of the republican party of
Oregon. ,
Wo demand and insist upon the pas
SHgaof the bill now eniling in congress
for tho exclusion of Chinese, known as
tha Mitcbell-Kithn exclusion bill,
Wo reaffirm our allegiance to the
principles of protection in necessary
cases of industries still in their infancy
or tumble to complete with foreign pro
ductions. We recognise the right of labor to or
ganise and combine (or mutual protec
tion under the law, and we recommend
that the legiHliituro enact all iiecessary
legislation to protect labor in all lis
rights and privileges, in tho interest of
American labor aud tho upbuilding of
tho workingman as tho corner itono of
the prosperity of our country, wo re
commend that congress creato a depart
ment of labor in charge, ol a secretary,
with a seat in the cabinet.
Wo demand that a lnw bo passed by
the next Icgixlaturo placing all public
ollicers o( this stato upon reasonable
salaries, which shall not be incroased
during the Incumbent's term of otllcn,
and beyond such Hilary they shall ro
ccivo no compensation as fees or other
wise.
In order to promote tho development
of the mineral resources of tho stato, wo
aro in lavor of the creation and niiiin
tainanco of a mining bureau by the
state.
We doclaro our approval and support
of tho suggestions of President RoosO'
volt (or tho irrigation of the arid lands
11I the country. This work should be
undertaken by tho United States ns
soon as possible, and carried forward 011
a consistent plan, under direction of thn
general government.
Wo urgo our representatives iu con
gross and sonutors to use every effort to
secure tho speedy opening of theColiim
bia river between The liiillus and Celio,
and (or cleitrini' the river o( all obstruc
tions to navngatinn from its mouth to
the head of huvngation. We urge also
renewed and continued effort for I111
provement ( our coast harbors and
streams within the state, and tho
speedy construction of an Isthmian
canal.
That tliu public l i nils are Hie heritago
of tho common people and should be
helil in trust (or the use and benefit of
all the people tinder the homestead
laws. We are therefore unalterably 011
posed to nil plans, si-hemes or proposi
tions (or leasing public domains, either
to individuals or to corporations.
Wo favor a policy by the state and
the United States which shall further
(ostor anil support our (liberies, and we
reiiiest the legislature to enact such
further measures ns may be found by
experience necessary to obtain this re
sult. We demand and insist upon the im
mediate passage by congress of the
United States of the oleomargarine liiil,
known as the new Grout bill, now pend
ing in the somite.
That we (nvor the proposed amend
ment to the state constitution providing
(or the initiative am! referendum and
recommend its adoption by the people
of the stale.
W declare our approval ol tho prin
ciples i( the primary law enuctcil by
the legislature ut tho He'sion of 1001,
and wo ask Hie legislature to extend
this law ho that in its main features It
may apply to primary elections in all
election precincts throughout the state,
and we further recommend the election
ol United States senators by popular
vote.

Washington Letter.
Wahiiinutom, April 10th, 1002.:
"I consider that we are making very
satisfactory progress and I ha no
hesitation la reiterating mj prediction
tliat congress will adjourn between tba
lOili and 16th o( June," said Senator
Hale last Saturday when I asked him II
be tliouglit that it would b possibl to
accomplish th uecossarjr legislation bj
that time. "Of courso, we could con
tinue In session all summer," continued
tho senator, "but that is not our in
tention. W will dispose ol all -cnlial
legislation. Th balance w
will allow to go over to the short session
or will avoid entirely. Ho, I cannot tell
you anything more oi th program but
I regard it as a perfectly sal prediction
that adjournment will b taken at th
time mentioned." The senator' state
ment was received with the greateat
latisfaction by other members of con
gress to whom I mentioned it, especially
by the representatives, as practically all
are ansious to get home and many
have considerable campaign work ahead
of them.
No sooner had the lenale passed th
oleomargarine bill on Thunday, which
was done by a majority ol eight vote,
than the Chinese eiclusion bill was
taken in). In order, howiver, that no
time be waited, th Indian approprla
tion bill waa called up and made th
orilur of business (or "the morning
hour." This means that the approprl
tion bil! will be discussed ai soon as tbe
daily routine btiiiuess ii disposed ol,
each morning, and will occupy the
floor until 2 p. in., when th exclusion
bill will be th regular oratsr. Literally
peaking, the morning hour la
uiiinomer as the isuat doei not usually
cotiven until noon, but th term ap
plies to the interval between the hour ol
convening and 2 p. m. It ii anticipated
that other appropriation bills will fol
low the Indian bill and will b con'
idered in the same manner.
As there is no party division on th
question ol Chinese exclusion it i hoped
that the bill may b passed without
prolonged debate aud it will give place
to th l'liillpplne civil bill, Tha latter
ineaaui will bo in charge o( Benator
UiJkb anil, while the dob its will doubt'
less cover ta any sesiions bscause of the
unanimous opposition on the democratic
idenf the chamber, it will be conducted
with the buiineii like expedition (or
which the Junior senator from Massa
chusells is noted. It ii eipected that
Senator lloear will take aides with the
lemocrata on this measure and If lis
Iocs he will help to make the debits
inturssting.
The huusa of repioiotitatives is di
poiiug of tho measure reported from Iti
committee! with the esse and precision
uf a well oiled machine arid, as a result
it has accomplished an immense amount
it work. The Chinese eiclusion bill
are now being (Jisciisiea and will prou
. V. I ., I.. ,1.. n.il ., (,, I ... I a h-
. f. u
unanimous consent. Tomorrow Mr.
I'ayne will call up the ways and means
committee bill authorising the president
to grant reciprocal tariff concessions to
Cuba and a brief but extremely Interest
ing dnbato is promised. Th democrat
are divided over the measure. Horn lik
Hepreientallv McClellan, of New York,
will leek to amend it by Increasing th
tariff reduction and, that (ailing will
vote for it. Others, like Representa
tives Newiandi, cooper and other will
vote against it. Th leaders claim to be
confident, however, that sufficient

republican votes can be (soured to pas
it in th house.
The house last Wedueiday passed tha
Sunday Civil bill and on Thursday
passed th lenate bill to increase th
efficiency of th revenue cutter service.
By tbe provisions of th bill th presi
dent i authorized to retir revenue
cutter officers on linse similar to thcie
of the regular army and navy services.
The investigation of tha Captain
Christmas charge by a select committee "
ol tha bouse is still in progress and tha
opinion Is held by ail that the captain
waa a very gullible person who was led
to part with his money by a few un
principled persons having no connection
with the government or with congress.
This applies to all but Secretary Hay,
who did gtv tha captain an audience
at bil suggesslion sent a representative
of the government, Mr. White, to con
fer with the Danish minister of Foreign
affairs; but that was th extent of Mr.
Hay' recognition of th promoter.
The house committee on territories
has favorably reported an omnibus bill
prov idlng (or the adm ission of Oklahoma ,
New Mexico aod Arlxona to statehood
and friends ot the measure claim that
they have sufficient vote pledged to
cure its passage in tha house. They
predict that not more than two days will
be required for debate in th house and
as soon as the bill is disposed of la the
lower chamber they will be able to turn
their attention to the senate where tha
prospects, they admit, are not flattering.
Soma of tha more conservative well-
wishers of th bill are urging their en
thusiastic brethren to coulent thsin-
selves with its pi ssag in th house at
this session aod then begin their cam
paign In the lenate at tha short session.
Tli president has had a conference
with the friends of th Irrigation bill
and has outlinsd to them tha change
which they must make to prevent hi
vetoing th measure. Mr. Itoosevnlt is
unwilling that th fsderal government
should expend larg sums to construct
water reservoirs and that the water
hould b under state supervision. Tbe
friends ot the bill say that tbry are
willing to make tbe changes Indicated
but that, in some instances, existing
tat laws would make it luipoiiible to
apply the proviiloni of th proposed bill
to lenitory within their borders. The
chances for the bill are not as bright a
thiy were a short time ago, but as the
speaker hai promised to permit its con
sideration, its champions have not lost
hope.
