Timidity OF an Elephant.

a mahout, was followed by small Nal.
tese terrier which, intent on it's own
affairs, trotted beside it's master, max
ing occasional instructive investigations
by the roadside after the manner of
dogs, without particularly noticing
other travellers. From the first mo.
ment the elephant set eyes on the dog
he never lost sight of him, turning flom
side to side always with an eye on the
small animal, and hurrying out of his
way whenever he approached. The
timidity of the one and the confidence
of the other were irresistibly amusing.

The Platform.

eve, the Republican voters of the
state of Oregon, in convention assem-
bled, congratulate the people OF the
state as we'll as of the whole nation on
the unmistakable fact that the dark
cloud of adversely, which has hung like
a pail over our fair land. has been dis
sipated. We recognize that the return
of prosperity is due to the restoration
of the Republican party to power.
"We are in favor of the maintenance
of the present gold standard; we are
unqualifedly opposed to the free coin
age of silver and to all other schemes
looking to the debasement of the cur
rency and the reputation of debt. We
believe that the best money in the
world is none too good to be assured by
the government to the laborer as the
fruit of his toll and to the farmer as the
price of his crop. We condemn the
continued agitation for free silver as
calculated to jeopardize the prosperity
of the country and to shake the conf
dence of the people in the maintenance
of wise financial policy; we particu-
larly condemn as unpatriotic the efforts
of the free-silver agitators to array class
against class and section against sec
ton; we declare that the interests of
all classes and Of all sections of our
country alike demand sound and
stable financial system.
"While we deplore the imminence OF
war, we recognize that the country is
on the eve of war, undertaken for the
vindication of the national honor and
the performance of work dictated by
every instinct of humanity; We declare
that the administration is entitled in
this conflict to the confidence and sup
port of the entire people.
"We are firmly attached to the prin-
ciples of the federal constitution; we
recognize that representative govern
ment is one of these principles, and we
are opposed to any-change in law or
constitution which will abrogate this
time-honored principle.
"We are in favor Of retrenchment
and reform in state and county matters.
"We demand strict economy in pub
lie affairs, and the abolition of all need
less offices and commissions.
"The salmon fishing industry, SO
fruitful source of revenue to the state,
should be fostered, and to that end we
favor state aid in the artificial propa-
cation of salmon, and their distribu-
tion in the waters of this state.
''We affirm our allegiance to the
principles of the Republican party OF
the United States, as enunciated by the
Republican convention in st. Louis in
1896.
eve denounce the fusion party Of
Oregon as an aggregation of spoilsmen,
who are ready to subordinate principles
to offices. Each of the parties to this
compact is willing to stultify itself ant
form alliances with elements which il
has heretofore denounced as dangerous
and unfit to be intrusted with power
we declare that good government can
not come from such an alliance"

Trade Conditions In the Leading Citiel
Of the World.

Trade Conditions In the Leading Cities
Of the World.
A year ago wheat traders were
theorizing as to the effects on the price
of wheat of war between Turkey and
Greece. Neither of those .combatants
was wheat producer, but the near fear
of the contest involving Russia kept
the price for a month swinging through
an unusually wide range, and advanced
quotations about 10c bushel, half OF
it on the Monday following the OPEN
ing of hostilities. 1t is surprising that
the wheat-consuming countries abroad,
in anticipation of war involving their
chief source of supply, have Of late
been ignoring everything except this
possibility, have been maintaing prices
in spite of a declining tendency at
times on this side, and have been max
ing cash purchases with unexpected
energy?
The United States is furnishing at
present half of the wants of the wheat
importing countries of the world,
about 1900, 900 bushels of the 8,00O,-
900 bushels supplied weekly. Would
the grain operators abroad. whose
Office it is to anticipate the worlds
situation, take automatically war
which threatened to embarrass even in
the smallest way this vast weekly sup
ply and which might possibly affect it
seriously?
That is hardly to be assumed. In
deed, it has not been the fact. The
other side for a fortnight, incredulous
as everybody has been all this time OF
the differences growing into an actual
conflict. has been ignoring fine crop
prospects at home and large offerings,
and has been making liberal purchases
from America at prices which have
been surprise to the American trade.
1t was really remarkable that Letter
could sell 200, 900 bushels abroad Easter
Saturday. These are indications that
if declaration of war removed all the
present doubts the price of wheat
abroad would advance sharply.
The effect of war on home prices is
not easy to anticipate. Sentiment
would be factor. Quick, decisive
successes exhilirate nation as they do
individuals, encourage business as we'll
as national ventures and quicken specu-
lation. Any advance in the wheat
price on the other side would be pre-
dicted upon some embarrassment to the
export Of American wheat.

Posted ON Powder.

No man in congress can produce on
short notice more dangerous explosives
than Representative Hilborn, of Cali
fornia, the ranking republican member
of the house committee on naval af-
fairs, says the Washington Post. While
discussing the disaster to the Maine in
the committee room the other day
Judge Hilborn stated that the only ex-
plosives in the forward magazine were
$4,000 pounds of brown powder. Just
remain here for moment" added the
judge, land | will show you some of
that kind of powder" He FASTENED to
his desk in the hall of representatives
and returned in moment with small
paper package. Unwrapping it, he dis
closed several small solid pieces of va
rious symmetrical forms. Pointing to
an octagonal-shaped piece which had a
round hole through the center of it, he
said That is brown powder, such
as was in the forward magazine of the
Maine. ! will show you how it burns
in the fire" There was scattering of
spectators as Judge Hilborn walked
boldly to the fireplace for the purpose
of consuming the chunk of brown pow
der, which burned and sputtered with
out making any explosion. Drawing
from the inside pocket of his coat a
long, thin strip of brownish color, he
announced that it was smokeless pow
der, and again advanced to the fireplace,
where a spark was rather cautiously ap-
piled, and the powder allowed to burn
on the hearth. Judge Hilborn is well
informed on all matters pertaining to
the navy, and especially about powder
because he has been giving that partic-
ular attention recently in connection
with his committee labors.
