A TERRIBLE FALL.

IT'S to you, mothers and daughters,
that 1 wish to talk;
And to the children that are just
learning to walk;
And all who may need anything in
my line
will give you prices that youil hard
ly decline.
One needs Bonnets and Ribbons,
whilst others need Hats;
Some will need Dresses and Ruching,
and possibly Caps.
Possibly Aprons, Collars and Ties
there are many that do.
Should you want Flowers and Feath-
ers, you'll find them all new.
The Third-street Millinery is the
place to buy.
The prices are low, but quality high,
The styles are the latest-giye us a
call;
And find that prices have taken fall.

An AwfuI ExplosIon.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 5.-Five tons
of gun.cotton in the state powder factory
exploded last night. The whole city was
shaken. The building was wiped out of
existence. The remains of nine workmen
employed In the factory were. scattered 10
the winds. At first it was thought the
panic preysiled until the true cause was
made known. The adjoining factories
were greatly damaged and five workmen
were hurt.

The election in Rhode Isllnd takes

The election in Rhode Island takes
place to-day, and this will be the first
political gun of the year. Democracy
has deluged the little state with it's
most eloquent speakers; but little
Rbody is all right, and will give the
usual Republican majority. We be-
lieve that this year will be repetition
of 1888, and from the Atlantic co the
Pacific the verdict of the people at the
polls will universally condemn Demo-
cratic free trade and endorse Republi-
can protection.

Important Questions decided.

OLYMPIA, Wash, April g. In answer
ing the questions recently submitted to
him by public officers, Attorney General
Jones holds that assessors need not fur

are not citizens can not catch fish IN the
waters of the state even as employees OF

empt from taxation, even when used for

The Democratic press are trying to
make point of the number OF
mortgages on the farms in the
country. and claim that this is because
of the protective policy of the Repub-
lican part. This is "rot" of the worst
kind. A farmer who attempts to
make a home without capital, has
necessarily to incur Indebtedness for
material for houses, farming utensils,
etc., and that he can procure loans
from banks is indisputable evidence
that there is faith in the productive
ness of the soil. Again, farming is
not carried on in the primitive style
that it was when the middle-aged men
of to day were boys. The old fash
ionep plow, drawn by yoke of oxen
or team of horses, has given way to
the gang plow, and cultlvators have
taken the place of the former slow
methods of planting. All these cost
money, and while the outlay is greater
the products are more than doubled
and the income much larger. But,
Notwithstanding the fact that there
may be more mortgages on farms than
there were thirty or forty years ago.
the wealth of those engaged in the
industry is greater than was ever
known in the history of the country.
We venture the assertion that no one
now engaged in agricultural pursuits
would exchange the improved methods
now in use and the inreased income
as the result of his labors, even with
mortgage on his farm, to the old slow
going process, and living from hand TO
mouth, with no mortgage on his land.
Again, with the exercise of the least
economy, the farmer can soon remove
the encum brance, and accumulate a
competence in half the time he could
by the primitive methods of agricult-

This is presidential year and the
political portion of tie ticket should
receive the unqualified support Of
every Republican. There should be
no hesitancy in this matter, as upon
the action of the next Oregon legisla-
ture will depend important events in
the history of the state.

THE RIGHTS OF EREsAEN.

The world moves, and moves vi gor-
ously, as any one can ascertain by ex-
amining the progress of human affairs
as evirced by everyday occurrences.
Even Great Britain, with its traditions
of centuries, is more nearly abreast of
the age than it ever was before.
After the war for the union ended
there was grand march forward in
the United States, which impressed
itself uron American institutions.
Chicago, in this regard, has made
move forward, which will be adopted
by Americans everywhere. 1t is not
q political organization, and no CON-
mittee of more or less distinguished
citizens" was present at it's birth, no
political organization stood sponsor at
its baptism, no artificial diet has stlm-
ulated its growth. A year ago it was
not; to-day it has something like one
million enrolled members. 1t was
born because the "fullness Of time"
had come, it has grown because cir
cumstance was propitious to its
growth. 1t will continue to grow un-
til there is no national wrong for any
citizens association to make right.
For long years the conscience of the
nation was but passively uneasy under
the crimes cf suppressed ballot, a
stifled press, and forcibly' imposed
servility of speech on all political
questions in. the southern states 1t
needed, however, but sound as of
one strong voice crying, "Repent, We;
repent, vel" to change the con-
dition from passive to active
interest. Judge Tongue gave ut
terance to the cry in ga Bystander's
Notes in the Inter Ocean. In answer
TO his call came volunteers from east
and west and north and south, and
made the National Citizens Rights
Association great and non-partisan
organization. Its objects are few-to
secure to every citizen in every state
every right of citizenship, that of
voting freely, of having his vote fairly
counted, of organizing peaceably for
the betterment of his condition, wbeth-
er by trades unions, by farmers allI-
ances, by political clubs, or by civic
associations; Of speaking freely on all
public questions, and of publishing his
opinions thereon.
1t is needless to say that if these
rights had not been outrageouslv sup
pressed throughout large part of the
United States no such response as that
which Judge Tourgee's voice has
evoked could have been expected
Indeed, such response was not ex-
pected; it is case in which the fact
has far outrun the expectation. For
long time the white people of the
northern states seemed to be more
troubled concerning the suppression of
national rights in the south than were
the northern colored people. 1t was
becoming somewhat of reproach to
the colored people of the Northern
Canaan that they seemed to care little
for the oppression of their brethren in
the Southern Egypt. All this is
changed. The colored people of the
north are aroused, and there are
enough of them to make their strength
felt in the election of congressman
pledged to the passage of national
laws that will protect every citizen in
the exercise of national rights.

THE F1FrY.F1Rsr CONGRESS.

Twentieth-We take pride in commencing
the work of the last Republican congress,
which, in the face of Democratic filibustering,
passed the Mckinley tariff law, reducing the
surplus revenues many millions of dollars,
increasing the free list by adding thereto
many of the great necessaries of our daily life
not produced here in sufficient quantities to
supply the demand, and otherwise readiusted
the tariff laws, passed the customs administra-
tive act, the pension law, the land grant for
feiture act, restoring many million acres of
land to the pdblic domain, the postal subsidy
act, the antitrust law, and many other great
measures in the interest of the general welfare
of the American people.
Twenty -6rst-We congratulate the country
upon the success and prosperity that have
marked the administration of President Harri-
SON. 1t has brought dignity, vlgor and
to the conduct Of our foreign
affairs and has settled many grave inter
national complications upon basis which
secures every American right, and has indi
,ated to the nations of the earth that it is able
o and will protect the rights of the United
States and of the people thereof in every
quarter of the globe.
Twenty-second-We favor the prompt con-
struction of ample defenses for all the coasts

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

Following IS the platform Of the prina-
piles Of the Republican party, adopted at
the state convention in session in Port
land yesterday:
The Republican party Of Oregon, in
state convention assembled, having an
abiding confidence in its unchallenged
record for administrative capacity in try
ing times of war, in the period of restor-
alton and pacifcation, in legislative, exc
cutive and financial achievements, and in
the great and lasting benefits its work
has conferred upon the American people
as an assurance of its continued zeal in
the cause of good government, of liberty
and of justice, makes the following dec
laration of principles:
First-We reaffirm our devotion to the
Republican doctrine of protection for our
home industries against injurious foreign
competition, and recognize the Mckinley
bill as the ablest expression of that prin-
ciple enacted in fulfillment of Republican
promises and as affording equal protec-
ton to the manufacturers, the mechanics
and workingmen of America from an un-
just and degrading competition with the
pauperized and poverty stricken labor of
European countries, and as preserving
American markets for the products of
American labor
