THF MONEY PLANBt,
"The republican party is unreservedly
for sound money. It caused tbe enact
ment of the law providing for the re
sumption of specie paymeuts in 1879 ;
since then every dollar has been as
good as gold.
"We are unalterably opposed to every
measure calculated to debase our cur
rency or impair the credit of our country.
We are therefore opposed to the free
coinage of silver, except by international
agreement wim the leading commercial
nations of the world, which we nledee
ourselves to promote, and until such
agreement can be obtained, the existing
gold standard must be preserved. All
our eilver and paper currency now in
circulation must be maintained at a pari
ty with gold, and we favor all measures
designed to maintain inviolable the obli
gations of the United States, and all our
money, wnemer com or standard, the
standard of the most enlightened nations
of the earth."

lutions was me loiiowing:
ine committee on investigating tbe
character of Frank Parrish made their
report and the following substitute - was
adopted:
"Resolved, that we express our deep
sorrow that lrank Parrish, a local
preacher of Pilot Rock charge, who gave
great promise of usefulness in the minis
try of the gospel, has seen fit to betray
tbe trust bestowed upon him by leaving
his work without consent of the presid
ing elder, by dishonoring our beloved
church by actions totally unbecoming a
minister oi tbe gospel and ot the Metho
dist Episcopal church, by travelling un
der tbe title conferred npon bim by our
church.
"Resolved further, that in Justice to
tbe church and to christian psople at
large tbat we condemn such actions and
it be published to the world tbat he is
not a minister of the Methodist Episco
pal church."
Hope to Re-Employ Her.
R. Alexander, of the executive com
mittee of tbe Weston normal school
board of regents, stated to the East
Oregonian that Miss Cannon was not
re-engaged as teacher of tbe model de
partment only because the funds at the
disposal of the board did not permit con
tracting the necessary expense. Doubt
less tbe money at the board's disposal
will be such as to warrant making the
appointment of a teacher for this de
partment.
Mies Cannon's work, has been emi
nently satisfactory, and Miss Cannon is
recognized as one of tbe most talented
primary teachers ia the kindergarten
line who has been in Umatilla county.
Her retention would be wise and her
friends will learn with pleasure that the
prospect is good that the money will be
forthcoming to continue her in tbe de
partment of work which she has done
such excellent work during the past year.

The only kind of fishing we get time to do is fishing for
customers, and with honest goods and fair prices for bait,
