(Pensions.)


The veterans of the Union armies
deserve and should receive fair treat
ment and generous recognition. When
ever practicable they should be given
the preference in the matter of EN-
ployment, and they are entitled to the
enactment of such laws as are best
calculated to secure the fulfillment of
the pledges made to them in the dark
days of the country's peril. We de-
nounce the practice in the Pension Blu
reau, so recklessly and unjustly car
ried on by the present administration,
of reducing pensions and arbitrarily
dropping names from the rolls as de-
serving of the severest condemnation
of the American people.
Civil Service.)
The civil service law was placed on
the statute books by the Republican
party, which has always sustained it,
and we renew our repeated declara-
tions that it shall be thoroughly and
honestly enforced and extended wher-
ever practicable.
free Ballot)
We demand that every citizen of the
United States shall be allowed to cast
one free and unrestricted ballot and
that such ballot be counted and re-
turned as cast.
(Homesteads.)
We believe in immediate return to
the free homestead policy of the Re-
publican party, and urge the passage
by Congress of the satisfactory free
homestead measure which has already
passed the House and is now pending
in the Senate.
(Territories.)
We favor the admission of the re-
naming territories at the earliest
practicable date, having due regard to
the interest of the Territories and the
United States. All the Federal officers
appointed for the Territories should
be selected from bona fide residents
thereof. and the right of self-govern-
ment should be accorded as far as
practicable. We believe the citizens
of Alaska should have representation
in the Congress of the United States.
to the end that needful legislation
may be intelligently enacted.
Wool and Woolens.)
To all our products, to those of the
mine and field as well as those of the
shop and factory; to hemp, to wool,
the product of the great industry of
sheep husbandry, as well as to the
finished woolens of the mill, we prom

THOUSANDS DIE

Important Points About ''PurifnG," the
Great DiSinfGCtant,
is r. Postl


In these enlightened days of the nine
teenth century it is an acknowledged
fact that ian ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure" and that ounce
of prevention was never better exempli-
fed than in the use of the great disin-
fectant known as "Purifine." The public
has had many disinfectants brought to
their attention. Some we're good, some
were bad, and some were simply lndif-
ferent, but none ever yet placed on the
market combined all the many good
qualities of ''Purifine." In the first place
it was left to the manufacturers of
'Purifine" to compound disinfectant
and antiseptic that would be odorless, a
most important matter las users of disin-
fectants well know that the odor of the
disinfectant. especially when in constant
use, becomes sickcning and disagreeable,
oftentimes as much SO as the odor or
"mell to be killed.
In word, "Purifine" is odorless, and
its work, removal, not creating one odor
to cover another. 1t comes in highly
concentrated form, and when diluted
with two parts water there is not the
slightest odor, rendering it suitable for
places where food is kept. In the bath
room, sleeping room or about the house
generally it is Indispensable.
Then again it is non-poisonous, an all.
important feature, for if used carelessly
by children or servants there are no
harmful results, and it is absolutely safe
to have around the house.
As sample of it's harmlessness it can
even be used in in refrigerators, and, if
accidently spilled no harm is done, and
i 10 &c Il 4
The uses for which "Purifine" is used are
almost limitless, and to enumerate them
would fill pages of The Post. For flush
ing sewers, and for cleansing sinks,
drains, barns, urinals, water closets,
| floor cloths and the bed clothes from
sickness or infection it is invaluable.
Then again the price is so low that it
can be used lavishly. and for hospitals,
asylums, public buildings. hotels, rcstau-
rants, school rooms, laundries, diaries,
markets, stables, packing houses and
canneries where disinfectant is used in
large quantities, this Is a point to be
considered. One gallon is used TO bar
rel of water, and for general use one
tablespoonful to pint of water.
"Purifine" Is sure preve ntive against
cholera, la grippe, small pox, diphtheria,
all fevers and contagious diseases.
AS an antiseptic and healer "Purifne"
is invaluble. for it relieves and cures
sore throat, catarrh, stings and bites of
insects, burns and scalds. chilblains, sore
eyes, pimples, and for the bath it is a
delightful adjunct. 1t will instantly
stop any flow of blood. and physicians
will understand Its full value from its
principal constituents, bromine and
chlorine. 1t is prepared only by the

ORPHEUM.-The week opened most
auspiciously last night with a packed
house and splendid program. There
were some new and strong features in
the bill, and the temperance of sew
eial old favorites Among the red-letter
events the Kins- Ners. with their wonder
full balancing feats; Elena Leila, the Rus
sian soprano with a marvelously f1exi-
bic voice; the Nawns, in their clever
irish pictures. were especially notewor-
thy. Rosie Renders quick transforms
tions and graceful dancing made a de-
cided hit. and the Ramirez Spanish
troubadors made sweet music with the
guitars and mandolins. Dixon and Burns
Kept the house In a roar, and Hayes and
Post startled the audience with their
phenomenal high kicking. The best fea-
ture of the evening was the final turn,
by Golden, Chalfant and Golden in their
comedy flashes and eccentric characteri-
zations and dancing. Chalfant possess
ses some golden notes in his voice that
would charm the birds from the trees,
and the two Goldens stand at the top of
the ladder in their respective lines. AL
together there Is much merriment and
whole-souled enjoyment cut out for the
PATRONS Of the Orpheum this week.

1t is safe to say that the men captured

1t is safe to say that the men captured
on the Competitor by the Spanish will
not be executed until the demands of
this government that they be given a
fair trial in a proper court have been
acceded to. The inhuman and, to this
country, humiliating Virginius affair
will not be repeated during the admin
istratlon of Grover Cleveland. With
characteristic promptness the president
and the secretary of state have inter-
vened, and the Spanish officers will wait
a while before they have the heads of
the captured Americans. American
citizenship is beginning to regain
abroad the prestige lost during the
regime of the party of special privilege
and resounding profession. President
Cleveland unfailingly asserts the kind
of a vigorous foreign policy the country
should always have-the policy of pro-
tecting American citizens in their rights
ON the high seas and in foreign lands
1t is policy of the Democratic party
made glorious by successful wars waged
in its behalf by Democratic adninfstra-
tions with Democratic soldiers.

A Pleasant Recsption

The reception given yesterday after
noon by Mrs. E.P Bryan and Mrs. Strong
at the home of the former on South
Grand avenue proved very delightful
affair and was attended by large num-
Der of their friends. The rooms We're
artistically adorned with variety of
flowers that formed most artistic COM
tination. La France roses held sway in
the drawing room. which We're arranged
with effect in large bowls and vases. In
the library, which was brilliant in yell
low, refreshing punch was served by the
Misses Bessie and Minnie Bryan. In
the dining room dark red roses and sweet
PEAS made the room bright with color. Ar
immense bowl of roses and ferns occu-
pied the center of the table and on the
buffet was a profusion of sweet peas and
ferns. Miss Annie Hendricks and Miss
Strong dispensed the hospitality in here.
The afternoon was very delightful one
and much enjoyed by all.

Here is a sample Of how the campaign
for protection is being run. 1t is from
the Oakland Tribune:
In 1894, under the Mckinley protection
law, the exports of barley from this
country were TAO, 585 bushels, which sold
for s2,379, IA. In 1895, under the Wilson
exports amounted to 1,556715 bushels,
which sold for $767, ,21s-a difference in
favor of Mckinley protection in the mat
ter of barley alone of 81. .612.4 1856.
The idea of an import duty on products
that are raised for export Is absurd
enough. but the notion that such duty
could enlarge the volume of sales or in
crease the price is gem that may be
admired in Oakland. but 1t would hardly
excite admiration elsewhere.-Stockto

and are In duty bound to abide by the
terms Of the treaties entered into with
other countries. Treaties Of the kind are
as essential to the prevention Of interna-
tional chaos as statutes are to the pre-
vention of domestic disorder. The Amer
lean people would undoubtedly expect
Spain to abide strictly by the stipula-
tions Of the treaty referred to In the
event of trouble similar to the Cuban IN
surrection occurring in this country.
Consistency and common honesty re-
require that the citizens of the United
States yield the same loyalty to the
treaty pledges given Spain that they
would exact of the latter country.
