REPUBLICANS OF OREGON.
Convention Held in AMnrf* -Nomina
tions and Platform.
The Republican state and congres
sional conventions were held in Astoria
last week. The congressional conven
tion, which met on Wednesday, nom
inated Malcolm A. Moody, of Wasco
rounty, for representative for the second
district.
Thos. H. Tongue, of Washington
county, was nominated for representa
tive for the first district at the congres
sional convention held in Fugene a few
days previously. _
The state convention met on Thurs
day and completed a state ticket before
adjournment was taken.
The following resolution was adopted
immediately after organization was
effected:
"Resolved, That the following mes
sage be at once wired to President Me- j
Kinley: 'The Republicans of Oregon, j
in convention assembled, to the presi- j
dent of the United States, greeting: j
With the utmost confidence in the wis- j
dom of your administration and pledg- j
ing you the support of the state of j
Oregon, we express our earnest convic- j
tions that the Maine was destroyed by j
design or criminal neglect of Spanish j
officers, and that this outrage is just |
cause for the United States to drive the j
Spanish nation from the Western hem
isphere.' " s

Columbia.

The Platform.
"We, the Republican voters of the
state of Oregon, in convention assem
bled, congratulate the people of the
state as well as of the whole nation on
the unmistakable fact that the dark
cloud of adversity, which has hung like
a pall over our fair land, has been dis
sipated. We recognize that the return
of prosperity is due to the restoration
of the Republican paity to power.
"We are in favor of the maintenance
of the present gold standard; we are
unqualifiedly opposed to the free coin
age of silver and to all other schemes
looking to the debasement of the cur
rency and the repudiation of debt. We
believe that the best money in the
world is none too good to be assured by
the government to the laborer as the
fruit of his toil and to the farmer as the
price of his crop. We condemn the
continued agitation for free silver as
calculated to jeopardize the prosperity
of the country and to shake the confi
dence of the people in the maintenance
of a wise financial policy; we particu
larly condemn as unpatriotic the efforts
of the free-silver agitators to array class
against class and section against sec
tion; we declare that the interests of
all classes and of all sections of our
country alike demand a sound and
stable financial system.
"While we deplore the imminence of
war, we recognize that the country is
on the eve of war, undertaken for the
vindication of the national honor and
the performance of a work dictated by
every instinct of humanity; we declare
that the administration is entitled in
thi& conflict to the" confidence and sup
port of the entire people.
"We are firmly attached to the prin
ciples of the federal constitution; we
recognize that representative govern
ment is one of these principles, and we
are opposed to any~«liange in law or
constitution which will abrogate this
time-honored principle.
"We are in favor of retrenchment
and reform in state and county matters.
"We demand strict economy in pub
lic affairs, and the abolition of all need
less offices and commissions.
"The salmon fishing industry, so
fruitful a source of revenue to the state,
should be fostered, and to that end we
favor state aid in the artificial propa
gation of salmon, and their distribu
tion in the waters of this state.
"We affirm our allegiance to the
principles of the Republican party of
the United States, as enunciated by the
Republican convention in St. Louis in
1896.
"We denounce the fusion party ol
Oregon as an aggregation of spoilsmen,
who are ready to subordinate principles
to offices. Each of the parties to thie
compact is 'willing to stultify itself and
form alliances with elements which it
has heretofore denounced as dangerous
and unfit to be intrusted with power;
we declare that good government can
not come from such an alliance."

then said:

tical work of printing," was the reply,
"but I don't believe it makes any differ
ence. Even if the type is cold 1 guess
that article will take the chill off it."

THE TWO PROPOSALS
T«»t of the Revolutions P»M«d by tho
■•■at* and House.
The following passed the senate 57
to 21:
Whereas, The abhorrent conditions
which have existed for more than three
years in the island of Cuba, so near
our own borders, hare shocked the
moral sense of the people of the United
States; have been a disgrace to Chris
tian civilization, culiinnating as they
have in the destruction of a United
States battle-ship, with 266 of its offi
cers and crew, while on a friendly
visit in the harbor of Havana, and
cannot longer be endured, as has been
set forth by the president of the United
States in his message to congress of
April 11, 1898, upon which the action
of cogress was invited; therefore be it
Resolved, By the senate and house of
representatives of the United States of
America, in congress assembled:
First—That the people of the island
of Cuba are, and of right ought to be,
free and independent, and that the
government of the United States hereby
recognizes the republic of Cuba as the
true and lawful government of that
island.
Second—That it is the true duty of
the United States to demand, and the
government of the United States does
hereby demand, that the government of
Spain at once relinquish its author
ity and government in the island of
Cuba, and withdraw its land and naval
forces from Cuba and Cuban waters.
Thiid—That the president of the
United States be, and he is hereby di
rected and empowered to use the en
tire land and naval forces of the United
States, and to call into the actual ser
vice of the United States the militia of
the several states to such extent as may
be necessary to carry these resolutions
into effect.
Fourth—That the United States
hreby disclaims any disposition or in
tention to exercise sovereignty, juris
diction or control over eaid island, ex
cept for the pacification thereof; and
asseite its determination, when that is
accomplshed to leave the government
and control of the island to its people.
House, 323 to 19.
Whereas, The government of Spar
for three years past has been waging
war on the island of Cuba against a
revolution by the inhabitants thereof, j
without making any substantial prog
ress toward the suppression of said rev
olution, and has conducted the warfare
in a manner contrary to the laws of
nations, by methods inhuman and un
civilized, causing the death by starva
tion of more than 200,000 innocent
noncombatants, the victims being for
the most part helpless women and
children, inflicting intolerable injury
to the commercial interests of the
United States, involving the destruc
tion of the lives and property of many
of our citizens, entailing the expendi
ture of millions of dollars in patrolling
our coasts and policing the high seas
in order to maintain our neutrality;
and,
Whereas, This long series of | losses,
injuries and burdens for which Spain
is responsible has culminated in the
destruction of the United States battle
ship Maine, and in the death of 266 of
our seamen; therefore be it
Resolved, That the president is here
by authorized and directed to intervene
at once to stop the war in Cuba, to the
end and with the purpose of securing
permanent peace and order there, and
establishing by the free action of the j
people there of a stable and independ
ent government of their own in the:
island of Cuba; and the president is
hereby authorized and empowered to
use the land and naval forces of the
United States to execute the purposes
of this resolution.
RIOTS IN MALAGA.

Torn Down and Insulted. •
Malaga, April 19.—The rioting
which broke out yesterday was con
tinued last evening. The; gendarme!

London, April 19.—The Malaga cor

About 10 o'clock last evening a large
group of young people, who had al
ready met in another part of the town
for the purpose of organizing a demon
stration, arrived in front of the Ameri
can consulate, and began to cheer for
Spain. - They did not at this time ut
ter any cry against the United States.
The chief of police; endeavored to dis
perse them, but only succeeded in driv
ing the crowd from the front .of .the
consulate. - The demonstration then
paraded along the Calle de Larses, the
most frequented street in Malaga, and,
accompanied by a very large crowd, re
assembled in the Plaza de la Constitu
tion.
... The civil governor and mayor has
tened to the spot to calm the people,

out in - the meantime another group
posted themselves opposite the Ameri

patriotic cries, began to throw stones

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
frade Conditions In the Leading; Clliea
of the World.
A year ago wheat traders were
theorizing as to the effects on the price
of wheat of a war between Turkey and
Greece. Neither of those combatants
was a wheat producer, but the near fear
of the contest involving Russia kept
the price for a month swinging through
an unusually wide range, and advanced
quotations about 10c a bushel, half of
it on the Monday following the open
ing of hostilities. It is surprising that
the wheat-consuming countries abroad,
in anticipation of a war involving their
chief i source of supply,v have "> of : late
been \ ignoring ; everything except this
possibility, have been maintaing prices
in T spite of a declining tendency at
times on this side, and have been mak
ing cash purchases with unexpected
energy? '
The United f States is furnishing at
present half of the wants of the wheat
importing countries |of r the world,
about 4,000,000 bushels of the 8,000,
--000 bushels supplied weekly. Would;
the grain opeiators abroad, whose
office it is to anticipate the world's
situation, taKe phlematically a war
which threatened to embarrass even in
the smallest way this vast weekly sup
ply and which might possibly affect it
seriously?.:'- "•■'-:. - y //-' V. "~r%^"?. * :"-:< ; :
That is hardly to be assumed. In
deed, it has not been the fact. The
other side for a fornight, incredulous
as everybody has been all . this time of
the differences growing into an actual
conflict, has been ignoring fine crop
prospects at home and large offerings,
and has been making liberal purchases
from f America at prices which have
been a surprise to the American trade.
It was really remarkable that Leiter
could sell 200,000 bushels abroad Easter
Saturday. Tliese are indications that
if a declaration of war removed all the
present doubts the price of wheat
abroad would advance sharply.
The effect of war on home prices is
not easy to anticipate. Sentiment
would be a factor. . Quick, decisive
successes exhilirate a nation as they do
individuals, encourage business as well
as national ventures and quicken specu
lation. Any advance in the wheat
price on the other side would be pre
dicted upon some embarrassment to the
export of American wheat.

ANIMALS AS MODELS.
Some of the Experience! of an Artist in
Sketching From Life.
"Leaves from the Sketch Book of an
Animal Artist," is an article by Mere
dith Nugent in the St. Nicholas. Mr.
Nugent says: There waa an elephant
in the Jardin-des-Planets that would
not pose unless he were paid for it, and
paid in advance. Then he took pay
ment in buns and pie, but if these were
not forthcoming, he would deliberately
walk to the farther end of the enclosure
and turn his back. The only way to
get a drawing of this big fellow was to
engage some one to feed him mean
while. In the same gardens I saw an
unusually interesting sight one morn
ing. A little sunbear with a large
marrow bone in his shaggy paws was
resorting to all sorts of bear devices to
get the sweet marrow. Suddenly he
lay down on his back, placed one end
of the bone in his jaws, and with his
hind paws tipped the other end of the
bone so high up that the choice morsel
slipped into his mouth. If the animal
could only have understood the shouts
of approval that greeted this perform
ance, I think it would have turned his
head. In one of the sketches you will
see how this feat was accomplished. As
a rule I find the models very good na
tured. True, they-keep a sharp eye on
me for the first few days, but after
that are generally quite friendly. Of
course, there are some parts of the
business they do not like. The oriole
never was happy when I held him in
my hand for close inspection, but a
beautiful cat which rebelled when I
first placed her in a bird cage—to keep
her in front of me—grew so fond of
being there, and after I finished my
drawings she cried and cried to be put
back into the cage. Intense curiosity
is the great chaiacteristic of animals
when in the studio. They are as much
interested in you and the surroundings
as you are in them. This is especially
the case with birds. Leave the studio
but a few minutes, and these two
legged fellows are hopping into every
thing. Of course they inspect the
paper on which yon have been draw
ing, and the paints, and the brushes,
and occasionally vary these proceedings
by taking a bath in the water bowl.
THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.
The twentieth century will begin on Jan. Ist,
1901, and end with 2000. People did not begin
to reckon time from A. D. 1, but waited until
about the 560 th year of the Christian era. Peo
ple who begin to take the great health restora
tive, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, immediately
after the first outbreak of dyspepsia, malaria,
rheumatism, constipation, nervousness or kid
ney trouble will date their cure immediately
from them.

Bad Roada Are Costliest.
When once the fact gets firmly estab
lished in the minds of the farmers of
the United States that it is more ex
pensive to maintain bad roads than to
make and keep in condition good roads
they will take active interest in the
question and an era of road building
will begin which will add to their
wealth, prosperity and comfort, and
benefit the country at large as much
as has the laying of railroad tracks and
the advance of the steam locomotive.
Let those engaged in agriculture study
such figures as those recently issued by
the supervisor of New York, wherein he
shows that it costs half as much to
haul produoe three miles by wagon as
it costs to haul it 500 miles on the rail
road. The supervisor figures out that
with a system of good macadam roads
the farmers would save an * amount
each year equal to the interest on from j
$10 to $30 an acre, according to the
crop raised, and would increase the
value of their land either to sell or
hold by a like amount. ♦
Police as Shark Catchers.
Among the multifarous duties which
demand the attention of the Calcutta
police the capture oi sharks in the
Hoogbly finds a place. During the
past 20 years rewards have been paid
for the destruction of these marine
maneaters, and recently the Bengal
government laid down a scale for these
payments. —N. T. Sun.

ALABASTINE
ALABASTINK IS WHAT?
Alabastine is a durable and natural coating
for walls and ceiling* entirely different from
all kalsomine preparations, made ready for use
in white or twelve beautiful tints by the simple
addition of water (latest make being adapted
to mix with cold water) pnt up in dry powder
term, in 6 pound packages, with full directions
on every package.
WHAT AK.JB KALSOMIKBIt
tittle Africa a Man.
Little Africa, a lithe, petite dancer,
sprang into popularity at Detroit a few
weeks ago, and through a shrewd man
ager, became a drawing card at private
"dinners" given by the "nice" young
men. Two weeks ago the Detroit light
guard gave a "smofcer," and one of the
attractions was the mysterious Little
Africa.
The Seeley dinner danoe was repro
duced in all its interesting details.
The little "wiggler" waa recalled
again and again, and each time re
sponded with a new movement.
Glasses clinked to her honor, she was
showered with bouquets an 1 coins, and
every effort was made to discover her
identity. Since that two "quiet" stag
parties have been given by Detroit
select young men, and Little Africa,
the clever little dancer, as nearly cos
tumed a la Eve as was consistent with
proper entertainments, has been idol
ized.
Society was scandalized, and Little
Africa supplanted many a sweetheart
in the affections of some fast young
men. Her admirers have been search
ing the city to do her homage, and the
scandalized members have been
searching for her to make her trouble.
It has now been discovered that the
dancer was Frank Bruesser, a well
known oostumer. who has been having
fun at the expense of his friends.
Brnesser's form has a remarkable re
semblance to that of a woman.
A CHEAP TRICK.
To manufacture a cheap kalsomine stuck
on the wall with glue, claiming it to be the
"same thing" or "just as good" as the
durable Alabastine, or to buy and sell such
goods on such representations would seem
a cheap trick. Borne resort to it. To be
safe, buy Albastine only in packages and
properly labeled.
One of the heaviest locomotives of
ordinary pattern ever made is now
running over the Great Northern rail

the tender.

Church Built of Coral.- . ' r .
i A church built of coral is one of : the
curiosities of the Isle of J Mahe, one : of
the Seychelles islands ;in the Indian ■
I ocean. The Seychelles islands, which (
are ' supposed by many j to' be '. the site of
the Eden of Old ; Testament -: history, |
form -■ ah archipelago of f one hundred
and : four teen islands, and i ate situated j
about ' 1,400 miles I east of Aden ' and '
1,000 miles from Zanzibar. They rise ,
steeply out of the sea, culminating .in i
the Isle of Mahe, which is about 8,000
feet above the level of the ocean, and is ,
nearly rf the center of the group. :AH j
these islands are of coral growth. : The
houses are built of species of *; massive |
coral ; hewn into square blocks, which ■
glisten like white .marble,4 and | show
themselves to the utmost advantage in
the various tinted green of the thick
tropical I palms, - whose l immense ";' fern*
like leaves give pleansant and much
needed shade. These palms grow as
high as 100 feet and more, overtopping
both the houses and the coral-built
church. They line 1 the seashore and
cover the mountains, forming in many
places extensive forests. . .-.

Write freely and fully to Mrs. Pink

of your trouble and ; what course to
take.: Believe me, under = right condi
tions, you have a fair chance to become
the joyfal mother of children. Mrs.
Ltjct Lytle, 255 Henderson St., Jersey
City, N. J. certainly thinks so. She says:
I § " I am more than proud of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and
cannot find words to express the good
it has done me. I was troubled very
badly with the leucorrhoea and severe
womb pains. From the time I was
married, in 1882, until last year, I was
under the doctor's care. We had no
children. I have had nearly every
doctor ;in Jersey City, and j have been
to Belvin Hospital, but all to no avail.
I saw Mrs. Pinkham's advertisement
in the paper, and have used five bot
tles of her medicine. It has done more
for me than all the doctors I ever had
It has . stopped my pains, and | has
brought me a fine little girl. I have
been well ever since my baby was born.
I heartily recommend Mrs. Pinkham's
medicine to all women suffering from
sterility."

Timidity of an Elephant.
Riding along a road in India, I saw
the following ; i instance of a big ele
| phant's f, timidity, which I venture to
send to you: The elephant, ridden by
a mahout, was followed by a small Mai
i tese terrier which, intent on its own
' affairs, trotted beside its master, mak
ing occasional instinctive investigations
by the roadside after the manner of
| dogs, without particularly noticing
; other travelers. From the first mo-
J ment the elephant set eyes on the dog
! he never lost sight of him, turning fiom
I side to side i always with an eye on the
small animal, and hurrying out of his
{ way whenever he approached. The
' timidity of the one and the confidence
of the other' were irresistibly amusing.
