Committee on platform aud res
olutions submitted the following,
which was, on motion, adopted:
Mr.. Chairman, and Gentlemen of
the Republican Convention:
We, your committe on platform,
beg leave to submit the following
preamble and platforms:
We endorse the principles cf the
republican party as enunciated by the
Chicago convention. While we believe
in, and will uphold the principle that
affords reasonable protection to Ameri-
can products-we favor reduction O.
duty IN such articles of necessary con-
sumption as time and experience shows
to have successfully resisted the effect
of legitimate competition. Further,
we believe, the nearer the work shops
and mechanics are to the farmer and his
products the better it is for both. 1t
is in great measure true that the
agricultural interests of the country are
depressed by reason of excessive
freight charges to home markets, but
the burden would not be lessened by
increasing the distance and rates of
transportation to foreign markets, en-
tirely beyond onr control
Resolved, That we we demand of
of our public officers, national, state
and county, careful and concise ad-
ministration of public affairs.
Reaolved, That we believe the
time has arrived when the Office of
county clerk should be divided and
the office of recorder created.

RAPID TRANSIT INDEED.
Speeding Through Space sixty Miles
Underground.

An electric railway, known as the
City & Southwark Subway, has
been constructed through the Lon
don clay at n depth of over sixty
feet. Residents In the southern sub
urbs of the great city are, In conse-
quence, promised new sensation
In IA novel mode of locomotlon.
The city terminus II close to the
Monument, the station occupying
the site Of the Kings Weigh House
Chapel, long the scene Of
the public ministrations Of the
late Thomas Blnney. The
line passes under the Thames,
and extends to what Ii known as
sStockwell. Eventually It will ex-
tend to Clapham Common. Hy-
draulic lifts and stairways convey
the passengers TO and from the sta
tions below, which are constructed
of white tile and lighted with cleo
tricity. The lines consist of two
tunnels or tubes, made Of curved
iron, bolted together and bearing "a
resemblance to huge drain pipes.
Through these tubes or tunnels
windowless carriages will be cleo
trlcally propelled.
The whole distance, 80 far, three
and u half miles, will be accom-.
pllshed, allowing for stoppages, in
fifteen minutes. As there Ii no
smoke or steam from the engines,
the tunnels will be kept fresh by
the three minutes service of trains.
This mode OF travelling il the near
est approach to being blown through
IL pneumatic tube--the locomotive
OF the future, according To some
scientific prophets. The trial trip
was made u few days ago, the
lord mayor and u number OF
gentleman interested In the eN-
pertinent travelling froni the
Monument to the Elephant and
Castle ON the other side Of the river.
IL was quite u success. This new
experiment has commanded a large
amount of attentions; and 1t Is now
believed that the electric subway
may prove the pioneer of many
similar lines, not in London only,
but in the large cities generally, IN
the new world as well rs the old.
1t Is doubtful whether We could
be tempted To exchange our light
and airy system tor any subter-
ranean plan; but all such expe.ri-
ments, tending Us they do TO solve
u great problem, should 10 hailed

promising land of bachelors. The
organic law adopted by the consti-
tutional convention last year Is un-
Objectionable, and Is In some re-
spects an improvement upon the
common type OF American state
constitutions. Its provisions re-
lating to local government are COM
mendablc, and as for the woman-
suffrage clause, II the Wyoming
people want woman suffrage they
are entitled to have II. Even IL II
could be demonstrated that the
success of the experiment with

A SPLENDID CREDIT.
Here Is Something to Send Back
to the Eastern
Banker.
The State of Washington Borrows
Money at 3 l-2 Per Cent,
Per Annum.
No State in the Union Has Bet
ter financial Standing, Few
as Sound.

II may not be generally known, but II
3 nevertheless true, that the fair young
state Of Washington has credit second
to none in the Union and cqualed by
few. II shows greater faith in the state
than any other one thing could.
Eastern capitalists can not fail to be
most favorably impressed by the fact
that the state bonds draw only 81 per
cent
No state in the Union to-day is float
ing It's indebtedness rs low as Washing
ton, and, further tho lowest rate any
municipal bond was over hoated Mt was
81. per cent on thirty-year bonds, but
that is the lowest interest bearing mu-
nicipal bond, by which term is meant
any city, county. state, or, in fact, any
body polite bond.
The constitution provides that the
funded Indebtedness of the state shall
never exceed 800, 900, which, by the way,
was most narrow and short sighted
provision.
In speaking OF the matter Mr.. A lonzo
Murphcy, OF the firm OF the same name,
saidi
THE legislature which has just ad-
journed, passed q law empowering the
state treasurer to borrow 5000, ,0Ooat a
rate OF Interest not to exceed q per cent
per annum.
"When tho territory became state
the outstanding Indebtedness represent
ed by warrants drawing 10 per cent. i'm
terest, was S2S7, ,0OO, and IL was to take
up these warrants that the bill ordering
ing the $4,000 was passed.
"lhc low rate of 3lS per cent
at which the bonds were
passed, is especially noticeable
when the fact Is considered that they
were what is called 5-l5 bonds; that is
practically iiye-yoar bonds, because
while they mature in fifteen years, they
are redeemable In five. The longer the
life Of the bonds the lower the rate of in
terest Invariably is.
The bonds were advertised, and
when the sealed bids were opened. Ii was
found that the New York firm of Coffin
4 stanton had secured the bonds, the
bid being 3ls per cent, with - per cent
premium. The firm of Alonzo Murphey
Il Co. bidi 3-l6 for the bonds, and the
only other bid from the Pacific coast was
lrom J. Il. Convey OF Olympia, VINO OF
tered per cont.
There are no other state bonds in eN.
istcncc that are bearing as low a rate OF
interest rs those of Washington; and
some of the Southern states which have
repudiatcd their old war indebted ness,
have to pay as high as per cent.
THE further fact that these bonds
were placed in New York and at pre-
miunl of a per cent, really means that
the Washington state bonds will draw q
fraction less than 3Ja per cent"

Speaker Feighan Advises Recourse

Learning yesterday that Colonel J.
W. Feighan, speaker of tho Washington
house of representative, had been
heard to remark that the tide lands

process, Notwithstanding tho passage OF

what would be the proper mode Of

well, there arc several ways to go
about II to get the matter into the
courts. In the first place, the law can
