GETTING INTO LINE.

| ENERAL GROSVENOR, in his recent ad- T dress at meeting of the Republican Con- \O gressional Campaign Committee pointed out the importance of organizing for work at once, and directed the attention of his colleagues to the cleo ton in Oregon which is to take place in June. That election IS to be the first State contest to be waged this year, and the result is certain to have less effect upon the popular mind throughout the country.
 The struggle IS the more important because it is to include national as well as local affairs. Con- gressmen in addition to State officers and members of the Legislature are to be chosen. Moreover the financial issue will form the dividing line between the opposing parties Such any rate is the outlook present, and 1t is not likely anything will to materially change the situation
 At a convention held in Portland short time ago the Republican League Clubs of the State re- affirmed the last national platform, indorsed McKn- leys speech at New York true exposition of the monetary policy of the party, and resolved: That in especial accord with the administration and its wise and efficient Secretary of the Treasury Ly J. Gage, in their efforts to resist silver mono metalSm and to give additional stability and strength to our present financial system"
 The League Clubs, of course do not bind the rank and file of the party like State convention, but nevertheless these clubs represent much of the strength and leadership of the Republicans of the State there be little doubt the State platform will be substantially the that adopted at Port land. The Republicanism of Oregon is therefore on the side of sound money. It will make a straight fight that issue and accept compromise of any kind whatever.
 While there has been no binding action on the part of the various factions in the State opposed to sound money, there abundant evidences that ft- sion will be accomplished and Democrats Populists and so-called Silver Republicans will act together in the contest The financial issue therefore will be the dominant one in the struggle, and Oregon will be the first of the States to record the vote of her c- zens on the present phase of this momentous prob- lem.
 The beginning of energetic work on the part of the Congressional Campaign Committee and the rapidty with which the opposing parties in Oregon lining up for the contest are incentives to the Republicans of California to set about preparing for the battle This IS the time to start the formation of clubs and to make arrangements for complete organization of the rank and file of the party throughout the State. The Republicans of California cannot afford to be laggards the eve of the great battle for honest money and national honor An appeal for Republican organization has been made at Washington and we should be among the fore most in responding to it.

THE WORLD LOVES TO LAUGH.

Publications like that story of the Lon- don Star, that the Klondike relief ex- petition is another Jameson raid,' in- tended to secure control of that country, are welcome. They add to the gayety of nations and afford a pleasing relief from the monotonous current of news, in which it is so often impossible to distinguish between the true and false. If the Star prints any more such stories they should be cabled in full, regardless of expense. The world loves to laugh.-Philadelphi Ledger,

y about the couple. It was confided to her by Mrs. Brown with strict injunction to keep it profound secret, but, woman like, she told 1t to another lady friend, also with the understanding that secrecy should be maintained, and in that way the story became common property, and is now going the rounds among the friends of the popular married couple and causing no end of amusement.
 The story goes that Brown woke up one morning rather earlier than usual, and addressing himself to his better half, who had also awakened from her peaceful slumbers, informed her that he had just had a dream in which it seems that he had gone into a millinery store and pur- chased for his adored life partner beau tiful. $20 bonnet, incidentally telling her that it was delicious dream of a bon net, to which she sarcastically replied that most probably it was "only a dream and the price had been to him hideous nightmare.
 Disdaining to notice the cruel reflection contained in that remark. Brown con- tinued to relate that in his dream he had wished to surprise his dear devoted wife, and instead of ordering the bonnet de- livereds he had brought it home with him. He had laid it down somewhere, but to save his life he could not remem- Der the precise spot where he had placed the feminine headgear. He had looked in every room of the house, still dreaming, but was unsuccessful in his search, and concluded: Mary, I was looking for the bonnet when I woke up." Mrs. Brown looked at her husband with a merry twinkle in her eye, and innocently said: 'Theo, suppose you go to sleep and look for the bonnet once more. maybe you'll

Few words, and simple, yet what
a world of Woe they convey to
the hearts of all who loved him.
And to know him was to love him.
What loss they chronicle in the
lives of us who are left to mourn.
Ah! the Hand of God rests
heavy on our hearts. He has seen
fit to smite us, and has called from
our midst, one of His best beloved,
but one that we cherished too: our
kind, tender and true friend whom
we shall miss and regret as long as
life shall last.
''Jesus taketh those He lovcth
best"-and He has taken him home
to rest forever in the happiness of
Heaven. But Oh! bis happiness is
our sorrow. What is to fill the
void left in our darkened lives?
Who could ever replace this dear
lost friend, this true heart of gold?
One of natures noblemcn, his
pnre, beautiful life was one long
Offering of love and devotion to his
beloved mother and family-of
comfort and generosity to all who
enjoyed the belessing of his friend
ship.
Truly, for such is the Kingdom
OF Heaven, and God wanted him
over thore. He has breathed his
last farewell, and passed from
among Us. No more will onr
hearts be gladdened with the smile
Of bis kindly eyes, with the sound
of his gentle voice, which shall
linger around us always as sweet
est memories of the past.
de has gone-alas! like the
many that have bloomed in the
summer of our lives-gone-but
not forever, for love shall bring
us together again, his tender faith
full love which will never cease to
plead at the Throne Of Mercy, for
our blissful reunion beyond the
clouds.

"No basis has yet been submitted. but
among the conditions mentioned is one
relative to an international conference in
London to arrange the future of the

the Americans will propose such con-
ference, because they have no interest in
doing so, and could not derive any bene-
fit therefrom. Neither is the Spanish
government favorable to such confer
ence, considering that the negotiations
which it has opened directly with the
United States are better calculated to
secure a good understanding between the
two countries -
