OUR FRIENDS, THE ENEMY.

The republicans will have a hard time
to get away from their last national plat
form. The republican platform of 1892,
adopted at Minneapolis, declared on the
subject of silver
THE American people from tradition
and interest favor bimetallsm, and the
republican party demands the uses of
both gold and silver as standard money,
with such restrictions and such provi-
sions to be determined by legislation as
will secure The maintenance of the parity
of values.of the two metals"
The qualifying clause of the above
does not destroy the declaration in favor
of silver equally with gold as standard
money. The republicans are compelled
to cut loose from their silver allies, and
now, under the leadership of Sherman
and Hoar, have concluded to declare for
gold and to turn their backs on the silver
states of the trans Mississippi. We need
not look for any repetition of the plat
form of 1892 in the next republican con-
vention. The tables of expectancy now
being sent out by republican correspond
ents ignore the silver states of the west
entirely

A Potato That Lifted a Ton.
From the Morning Oregonian.

Charles W. Simmons, who lives on a
farm near Pleasant Home, Yesterday
brought in from his farm curiosity. lie
discovered 1t while digging potatoes. If
consists of a late rose potato grown in
the root of tree. The potato vine seems
TO have crept into the root, and the new
potato then started down i'm the depths. u
ilourished in its strange surroundings and
developed into large and well-formed po-
tato. The room in the root was too small
for its expansion. and so the spud exerted
not less than ton pressure on the root
until the sld9 was split open. The root
is about three inches in diameter and sIx
inches in length. About an inch of the
spud protrudes from one end 1t is quito
a curiosity, and all who have seen II saw
they never saw anything like it before.

NOVEL FLOOR TREATMENT.
inexpensive Floor FURNISHINGS An
Paper, Enamel and Paint.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
The last thing in floor covering is nanar
That is, the floor is laid with a. paper inoi-
tating or representing grained oak, par
quetry' tiles, mosaic pavement or what
not. The process is as follows: The floor
is first smoothed, then two or three LAYERS
of newspapers, saturated with flour haste
are applied, made smooth and left to dry.
Then the wall paper-that which repre-
sents grained oak being preferred-is glued
down on the substratum of newspapers.
and, after being sized, is vanished The
chief recommendation of paper flooring is
its cheapness: for room not used for
much traffic it will answer a purpose IT
VIII not do If there is any dampness about
the floor.
Financing is another novel process for
treating floors, but it differs from papering
IN that 1t is rather expensive requiring as
II does several coats of paint with Vigor-
GUS intermediate rubbings down with very
line glass paper. The ordinary enamels
sold IN the shops are not to be recommend
ed for this purpose, as, from the nature of
their composition, they are apt to crack
and chip.
Ebonizing for floors can be easily done
by boiling logwood chips in water-one
pound of chips to one pound of water-till
the liquid is well colored. Apply this to
the floor evenly and carefully giving a
second application, if the boards are close
textured. When this is quite dry, apply in
a similar way, strong solution of sulphate
of iron in water. A good chemical ink
like black will be the result, which, after
sizing, may be vanished like any ether
stain, or preferably it may be polished with
beesWaX and turpentine. The duller sur
face so given is better, artistically speak
ing, than the glaring, shining surface Civ
en- by varnish. at any rate where a black
stain is used. Apropos to a floor stain, any
which pretends to be a varnish as well
and in which the varnish is a spirit as
opposed to an oil varnish, is a mistake in
so far as floors are concerned. 1t may an
swer for some articles of furniture but is
not durable enough for floors. To an oil
varnish, suitably colored there is no OBJ
lection, but stain, subsequently sized and
vanished, is best. 1t is a mistake to size
the floor before staining it, although some
people prefer so doing. 1t may save a lit
tie stain, but there is the certainty of the
stain and the varnish peeling off eventu-
ally in flakes where there is much wear.

Dupont,s Claims.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-The SEN
ate spent the entire day on the Dupont
case, Mr. Gray Of Delaware arguing
against the claim of Mr.. Dupont.
During the day Mr.. Gordon proposed
an agreement, that final vote on
the Dupont case be taken next We'd
nesday.
Mr.. Mitchell, in charge of the case,
declined to make an agreement at this
time. This tender by Mr.. German was
regarded as significant of the con-
fidence of the opposition to Mr.. Dupont
to resist his claims to a seat.
Mr.. Gray will proceed with his
speech tomorrow, after which there is
promise of a further clash over taking
up the bond resolution, as Mr.. Allison
stated today that the bond question
must give way to appropriation bills.
Mr. Gray yielded at 4 o'clock and
the senate went into executive session.
At 4:55 p. m. the senate resumed
it's open session.
Bills were passed amending the law
relating to the protection of salmon
fisheries in Alaska, for the sale of
public lands by private sale in the
state of Missouri, and to pay the heirs
of Sterling D. Austin $59,287; appro-
priating $17 900 for acquiring burial
grounds at Fort Meigs and Put-in-Bay
island, O., and the interment therein
of the remains of soldiers and sailors
of the war of 1917.
AT $50 p m. the senate adjourned.

THE NEW MANIFESTO.
EUGENE LEWIS ON THE PRACTICAL
EFFECT OF 1T
Powers of the First Presidency in
the Political Affairs of the State
How the Matter May Be Viewed
by the Nation

1 wish to examine the new manifesto
from two standpoints.
First-How will 1T strike the outside
world?
Second-How will it be apt to work
in practice?
On the first point The theory of a
republican government is that the
| highest duty of every citizen is to the
state. CNot no the state of Utah, but
the body politio.) Nor is it quite true
that the state and church are entirely
independent of each other. The church
is subordinate to the law of the state,
the same as every individual and or
ganization within its jurisdiction. In
the United States although this has
not always been SOD the state does not
interfere with the religious faith or be-
lief of the citizen.
But if his faith leads him to commit
acts contrary to the law of the land,
the state steps in to punish him for
those acts, be he ever so conscientious
in committing them. Neither will the
state permit any church or religious
organization to flagrantly Cypress its
members, or punish them in certain
cases Under this theory any church
is as strictly subordinate to the law as
any Individual. The Roman Catholic
church is generally understood,
whether by written law or by custom l
know not, to forbid, or at least to
strongly discourage its clergy from
accepting any office under the govern
ment This may be true of some other
churches, and no serious objection is
raised by any one outside of its COM
munion to this rule or custom, nor do
l believe any outsider would seriously
object to a rule of the Mormon church
if it chose to promulgate one, that no
officer of the church, or no officer
above a certain grace, whether it were
bishop, president of a stake, president
of quorum or apostle, should accept
any office or nomination for any office,
or for any Office the duties of which
would take him beyond the boundaries
of the state, and that the acceptance
of such Office or nomination should
work an immediate forfeiting of his
position in the church. Such a rule
would be simple and would enforce it
self If any officer above the pre-
scribed grade desired TO accept any
civil or military Office more than he de-
sired to retain his position in the
church, it would be a matter for him
to determine, and no one outside the
church would be likely 70 raise SER
lean people are an emineutly practical
people. They would be apt to believe
that in ordinary times there would be
a sufficient number of persons, aside
from those debarred by their position
in the church, qualified ITO fill the
offices, so that the state would suffer
no very serious loss by their exclu-
sion.
NOMINATION WITH A STRING
TO 1T.
1t is the nomination with a string
to it, and that string in the hands Of
three men, ultimately, men who, what
ever view you may hold of their infal-
ibility in religious matters, are ac-
knowledged on all hands in business
matters, and upon political questions,
to be fallfble men, having like passions,
weaknesses. prejudices and foibles with
the rest of mankind.
