then begun.
MAJOR MOORE TEsTrFIEs.
The prinmipal witness was Mai Moore,
chief of police. He stated that he gave
Coxey permit 10 parade, but the permit
denied Coxey the permission to march
through public reservations. He told
Coxey that he could not speak on the
Capitol grounds. but Coxey replied that
"As the schedule had been carried out
so far. he intended TO complete It,"
The case viii probably be completed
tomorrow.
A real estate owner, who wished to
clear and improve suburban tract,
offered Coxey a healthful location for
his camp and $500 in cash If the Com
monwealers would do the work, which
would occupy them several weeks. The
offer was made in good faith, ard Coxey
was inclined 10 accept, but Browne was
unwilling 20 move the camp so far from
Washington. so the offer was declined.
Coxey said i'm court to-day that ne had
not yet been successful in renting a new
place for a camp. His object is 10 keep
the men In the city, in some accessible
place. so that he can continue to exhibit
them and gather in the quarter dollars
paid to see his show, but the novelty Of
the whole business has now worn Off, and
the few people who sought notoriety at
first by Offering sites are now holding
back. Paying visitors are decreasing in

fined chiefly TO sanitary considerations.

What win They Do.

A subscriber Of the DEMocRAr living
near Brownsville asks If the "membeTs OF
tbs Legislature from Linn county are Piedg-
ed to the reenactment of the mortgage tax
Law and the Law allowing deductions for
indebtedness" Yes; In their county con-
veniion the republicans adopted the follow.
ing platform: 1--WE condemn the present
assessment law Of the state of Oregon as
legislation in favor of the rich and against
the poor and demand its repeal and the
reeaactmeut prior to the meeting Ct the
legislature in 1891. We believe The right
of ali tax payers to dejuct Indebtedness
within the state of Oregon from their
assessment TO be an inalienable right and
one guaranteed By the constitution Of the
state, and, therefore, demand the rsenac;
ment of Law providing for the deduc'ing
of such Indebtedness"
This resolution was endossei by the
candidates of the party and ii is fair to
assume that every member viii use his beat
powers 10 eusc, las to secure dsdociions

as follows:
1--WE condemn the act of the last Iegisla-

The Nicaragua Canal.

The probable value of the Nicaragua
Canal TO commerce may be best judged |
from the facis and statistics. It's gen
orally said that the Pacific coast will be
especially benefited. But what benefits
the Pacific coast by shortening the water
route to the East and increasing compe-
tition with the railroads, thereby reducing
freight charges both on land and water,
benefits all the country.
New York is I4,S4e miles distant from
San Francisco by way of Cape Horn. The
canal would shorten the distance to 4,946,
a gaining OF 1884 miles. The distance
from New York to Hongkong by Cape Horn
is Is. lS0 miles; by the Cape of Good Hope,
l5,201 miles. By way of the canal it
would be II ,oSS miles, saving over the
shorter cape route of 4, l6S miles.
New Orleans is now 1902 miles from
San Francisco by way of the cape. The
canal route between the two cities would
e4,047 miles, saving of 1l,oo5 miles.
San Francisco is nov $50 miles nearer
TO liverpool than to New York by the
Cape Horn route. The canal would save
California traffic 1896 miles on voyage
10 Liverpool, and New York would be
nearer than Liverpool to the Pacific me-
tropoiis by 2,74s miles. The benefit ol
this change would not be wholly with The
Pacific coast. Liverpool also would gair
important advantages through the canal
1t would lose its advantage over New
York, but it would be brought nearer t.
Melbourne by S92 miles, to Yokohama By
1929 miles, and to Hongkong by l,26'
miles.
1t is estimated Mat the Pacific coas
ships about l,So0,0 900 tons Of wheat ant
-four Year to the Atlantic ports and t
Europe. 1t is asserted that the freigh
charges on this by reason of the cana
would be % ton less than now, wnicl
would be an annual saving to the whea
producers of the Pacific coast of S., 100000
for the price Of wheat being fixed In Lon
don the wheat grower of this country pay
the freight charges.
Tie value of tie canal 10 commerce j
beyond question. If the canal shall b
built the Uuisei States viii becom
much more compact for the purposes o
eommerce.
The reduction of rates OF freight is bu
an incident of ihe saving of time. A
present goods are carried from Ne.s forl
to San Francisco by regular freight train
in from twenty-five tc thirty days, b.
seamer n nom forty-fve TO fifty days
and in sailing vessels in from 1l0 10 II
da 5 Lower vessel freights and shorte
voyages viii inevitably bring down rail
