' Away off "in the grand northwest lies a state, from whose sliorcs 'have lately gone thousands of American soldiers, far across the ocean to carry to distant lands ; the flag of liberty. As these brave boys left her snores Oregon bade them God speed on tlicir mission and as long as they could see the moun tains of cthcir native land, on its high est cliff, they saw the sturdy sons of that nvctern state waving the banner of Freedom, to them the harbinger of victory. The enemies of- the cause those American soldiers sailed away I to de fend, .was -made an is-stie of the cam paign in the state of Oregon and every combination ' possible, every aid that discontent, false "isms and inrpractkabkr theories, cxm'd asscmble , were called upon to hc4- defeat the Republican party.

It has just been stated and' widely published that the state ot Kansas has but one inmate at the state poor farm.

The Democratic party, in national convention assembletl, -w-jHr!d be de lighted to adopt the following, or some thing similar, as a part of its platforni --k" it could do so. withonit making k self ridiculous, remarks a iAritei" in t'he Kansas City Journal: "Wslliam j McKinky was elected) PresiWent upon the pledge.

This was thtj promise of '1ie RtjbVican jplatiorm and the promise made by Republican ora- tors on the stump in every state of the1 three ycarj Union. .

A declaration of this kind would oc cupy the most conspicuouVpiacc in the platform -which will be adioptcd at Kan sas City in July if circumstances were radically different from what they are. But no sneh declaration will appear in that jIatfOrm or in anyilother Demo- eranic platform adopted lfljis . year, for obvious reasons. REMINDS OF A STORY. Says ;Willian J.

Not 'What It 'Was 'Before Hoisting iMachincs Came In. but Much V of It Still 'Don. ' f ' :; One who should " see5 a hod-hoisting machine irt use in a building uride- CGnstruction in the. city might think tnat tne K!-"iasnionea.. 410a uau rjuut gone out of use. but ; as a . natteY of int-t. the hod is siill far from obsotetel Of all the bricks .and mortar putv into buildings in the United States prob ably io ocr cent, is sjtnll carried.to the mason in hods' borne on the shoulders of men. In . very large citiesi m rew York, for instance. 75 Pr cent ofiths bricks and morjar As now hoisted,, by elevators: small tities and ; in? the country 75 per cent ot such .material is still carried to where it is o be used in hods. So that, while the elcviator is steadily -encroaching- upon the. hod, the hod is still largely carried, ; '. Whether 'a( hod-hoisting 1 machtji-J shall be used.' and, what sort, of a, 'ma chine,' depends cf coarse upon the joJ. On a one-storv building, ahvway. the "brkks would be carried up if the old, way, as they might ue on the. smaller; two or threerstory building; but here, on a building ofanv size,. after it; has gone tip a story there is. put Sn a hoist ing apparatus of -some sort,--either hand or power. A Stand hoister con sist's ol.r a strap i of . chain .rxm-, ning around two pulleys, one below and the other abovei one of these be ing v turned by a crank. The - hods used with this apparatus hayc a Itook on them. A man fills a hod at the brick kill in the street and walksi into the building with it and hooks it onto that chain, upon.w;bich it is - slowly hoisted to where the bricks are to be used: the mnlv hods , heint? .booked to the chain on tke.descendisig side. On some power bod .elevators- , the hods are hooked onj a beam in a row by the- men who bring ' them in drorri the street, .and hoisted quickly iipt" and empties sent oaeK. tn tne ujse 01 ome power elevators the Ibricks are wheeled in from the street n barrows , to the elevator and then i transferred to the hods. which . are. lHisted tip and re moved above, and sent back again to be fiHcd again- in it'be same manner. Here ' it will, be observed Jlie hod' is eliminated below. nd in -the trse of some elevators bricks are wheeled right into the platform 'jof the elevator in barrows, and barrows jand all ,are hoisted tip and wlneeled right up on to the platform alongside ihe brick layer. The empty wheelbarrows ' are sent down and pullpd off .the platform and replaced with -filled ones that the men in the street wcTe loading when thevOthcrs were oag up and comjng down. In. this operation , the lio,I js eliminated aljove and below. , All these things' are determined by the character and size of the job; the builder does whatever canjbc done to thele.st' ad vantage. 'And still -with all the 'hoist ing done nowadays l there is yet. has fx en seen, more or less hod carrying done and Jfh hod is still a regular arti cle of manufacture and safeViand is still sold in considerable numbers. : "; .) " Tlie size of the' hod . carried varies somewhat with thei region in which it is usedt thtis tne hod eafrried n .this city is a little smaller than that used in New Jersey ani Lang" Island! -The h d is made in three sizes thcismaU tst . of the, three kr brick, the middle size for rtortar, and the largest for plaster; the mortar hodsi- are j. made watertignt bjri. pitching the 1. seams. Hcds used with hol-hoi.-4ing appa" arus are made a little wnallen than t-hose that are band carried. Hod at siill most commonly made 'of; woot out tncre made f nowadays, also,, a steel Jhod. This is ; a 'Western ? inven tion, and is more commonly used in the West than in the East, : ; -1 The bed carrier of today list an Ital ian, and a-hard w-orker; byt hw carry ing, commonly .exercised now ; within narrower limits than formerly.1 isi not the .art that it once was.i Thirtj!, forty, fitty years ago. though he lias now far outgrown bod carrying, the- hod . ear- jrier was. everywhere an Irishman; a picturesque ti-gure of ; . horn many pic tures were -made, and --about whom many things,jntended to be hnmorous, were written! But he was a sturdy, able man, all the same, and not -without skill in his calling; and it required some rkill and training in the work to en able a man "tr climb. w-Uh a hod on his shoulder the ladder Ihey mounted in; those days, when the mason called down : from -above: . , ; . r'More 'mort!'.

There ; is an oTd, old story about a hod carrier who unounting sky ward on a six-story building which was nearly finished, struck he, level : of the sixth story scaffolding just Xs tlie clock irt a neighboring steeple began to strike the: noon hour, twelve. It might be supposed that the 'hod ' carrier -wonlH have stepped around . the sidepiece of tne ladder, one step, and set the hod down on the scaffoldimr: but nor at the first stroke of the bell, as the story goes, ne. simpiy let go ot the handle, and then started bimself down the lad der. ::;) : - f " ' ' ' f Nothing of that sort could happen nowadays The, hod is still earrieil rt is true, but tho glory of hod carrv- WITH .
