The Palladium does not like the
Republican State platform. It says
of it, "There are a few cardinal prin-
ciples, we'll stated, and a good deal OF
gush and few unfortunate omissions"
1t further says: The platform would
have been more complete if it had a
plank embracing the need of a more
economical system of State and county
government at home, and committing
the party to relieving the people from
the tax burdens they now bear" That
is just what the Republican party did
not wish to pledge itself to. The
present system of plumber is just what
it needs to keep its leading politicians

The nomination of David B. Hill
for Governor of New York. by the
Saratoga Convention, Wednesday, was
the most remarkable ovation ever
paid to State favorite. Hill had de-
sired the nomination of John B.
Thatcher of Albany for the first place
on the ticket, and it was thought, up to
the time the convention reassembled,
that the programme apparently agreed
upon would be adopted; but there was
a conspiracy, unknown to him; the
convention broke loose from all re-
straint. demolished the programme,
and nominated its chairman by ac-
clamation. Then the chair ruled
them out OF order, he insisted upon the
rules OF the assembly being followed,
and declined to accept the nomina-
ton, but they nominated him again
by reclamation, Once more he ruled
them out of order, though the secre-
tary of the convention, amid the
cheers of the enthusiastic delegates,
declared him nominated. The dele
gates finally proceeded according to
the rules, and cast Q formal ballot,
every county voting solidly for Hill.
1t was three times and out. The sec
rotary formally declared David B. Hill
the nominee Of the convention for
Governor. Senator Hill did not &C.
cept, but as he did not decline, the
Democratic party has as its standard
bearer the man who has twice carried
the State by big majorities, and has
added to his laurels by his carriage in
the Senate. The rank and file of the
party have called him TO lead them in
this, the critical year for the Demo-
Gratis, and he will obey.

An ULwife Fine pcial Policy.

The free and unlimited coinage OF
silver, advocated by the Republicans
in their State platform, would lead to
further depreciation of the purchas-
ing value of silver coin, or what is the
same thing, to an increase OF the val
ues of commodities purchased with
silver. At the present time there is
no difference between the two metals,
as . currency, in ordinary transac-
tions, but should the value Of silver be
inordinately increased, the parity be-
tween it and gold will not be main
tanned. Our country, powerful as it is,
cannot maintain the value of q cur.
rency that is debased abroad, and il
the question is not dealt with in q
wise manner, we may see the time, as
during the war, when paper money de-
preciated to about 40 per cent. OF the
value Of gold-when a $40 greenback
bought only 81 worth OF the neces-
saries OF life.
The demand for free coinage OF
silver is made without close inquiry
as to its probable effects. Politicians
care little of the result, provided it Sc
cures votes for their party, and the
people are apt to be led astray by a
policy which they are led to believe
will make money plentiful. Another
consideration which should be borne
in mind is that the coinage of much
money does not carry with it any
guaranty that it will 60 into the pocket
of the wage-earner, while trade arteries
are exceedingly sensitive to any
change of normal conditions. Prices
OF commodities would increase before
wages would be advanced, and if his
action brought about an unreasonable
expansion OF currency he would find
himself in the condition OF the man
who had crossed q stream and de.
stroyed the bridge behind him.
The people should not be deceived
by the sophistry of the party dema-
gogue. The logic of events is sound.

tudes of party platforms.

Let Us Reason Together.

What good reason can be given for
the extraordinary action OF the City
Council in refusing to allow the Olym-
pia Light & Power Company to extend
its line to the wharf, depots and CAPT.
toll grounds? Is this time to OBJ
struct needed improvements? The
receivers deserve to be helped and not
hindered in their efforts to increase
the earnings OF the company and put
it on sound footing. If the earnings
fall off, the plant will necessarily be
crippled, and the service may have to
be reduced and who then would put
money in failing concern? 1t is far
easier to drive away capital than to at
tract it.
The people who cannot afford to
hire carriages, but who would be glad
to take the street cars when they
land in the city from the boat or
train, should be considered, as we'll as
a small though no doubt worthy class.
The street cars are the peoples vehi.
Giles, and these Councilmen have de-
prived the people of what is every.
where else regarded as common and
necessary convenience. Is such &C.
ton creditable to the capital city of a
great State?
In order to give the monopoly OF
hauling building materials to favored
class, they would prohibit by their Of
fetal action all transportation by rail,
and thus entail an increased cost upon
the State for building the capitol, for
the fancied benefit of a few men and
teams here. This puts our city in
false position. Our people do not seek,
no reasonable man would ask, to swell
the cost of the capitol to the State at
large in order to favor any man or set
of men here. What will the Capital
Commission, what will the Legisls.
ture, say to such action? What more
damaging argument could be given an
enemy-a capital mover-to use
against Olympia?
What will be the condition OF the
streets after thousands of tons of rock
brick, lime, cement, iron and other
building materials have been dragged
through the streets. winter after win
ter. for three or four years, by great
heavy trucks. Will the favored team
STEERS or contractors pay the assess
ments on property or reimburse the
city for restoring the streets to passa.
BILE condition?
We would ask these Councilmen, in
all seriousness, if it be not rather too
expensive way OF benefitting any
class, and if they really think the city
can afford, for the sake of an illusory
aid to teamsters and contractors, who
after all are almost sure to come in
from elsewhere?
First, To cripple the Light and
Power Company, that has been of so
much benefit to the city, and can ben
eft her still more if given a chance.
Second, To deprive the people of
street cars at the wharf and depots.
Third, To affront the Legislature
and Capital Commission.
Fourth, To ruin their own streets.

The Seattle Telegraph publishes a
deposition made by Judge Gordon last
February in the case of Paige vs.. the
Cascade Fire and Marine Insurance
Company, in which it is shown that
the Judge allowed himself to be used
as . stool-pigeon to tide over a crisis
in the affairs of that company. He
ostensibly subscribed for q 5000
slice of stock, and puts up 81 $50 of its
cost in note, with the understanding
that when the emergency had passed
his note was to be returned to him.
It appears, however, that in the
mutations of time and change of
officers, this agreement was lost sight
OF, and Manager Morse endeavored to
hold the Judge as bona fde stock
holder. Thereupon the Judge offered
$50 to compromise the matter for the
delivery of his note, he having prev
iously surrendered his certificate of
stock. Paige claimed that he was in
duced to subscribe for stock in an
insolvant company, by representation
that Judge Gordon with others were
stockholders and its active supporters.

able aud that taste As delicious a. tho

Crcam-of.tartar and soda thai are now
