OREGON POLITICS.
Populists, Democrats and Free Sill
yer Republicans Agree.

PORTLAND, March 25.-The joint
conference committee from the Popu-
list, Democratic and Free Silver Repub-
lican State Conventions to-day unani-
mously agreed upon a platform which
was reported to the respective conven-
lions and adopted. When the vote
adopting the platform was announced in
the Populist convention eighteen mid
dIe-of- the-road delegates left the hall
The platform demands:
The free and unrestricted coinage of
silver and gold at the present legal ra-
ito of 16 to /, without waiting for the
consent of foreign nations, and unal-
terably opposed to the financial policy
of the present Republican Administra-
tion, and especially denounces the
avowed attempt to fasten the country
irrevocably and forever to the single
gold standard.
a national money, safe and sound is
sued by the General Government only,
without the intervention of banks of
issue, to be full legal tender for all
debts, public and private; also a just,
equitable and efficient means of distri-
button direct to the people through the
lawful disbursements of the Govern
ment.
The platform demands the initiative
and referendum system of law-making
in its optional form, and condemns as
dangerous and unjust the surrender in
all departments of the Government to
the influence of trusts, corporations and
aggregations of wealth generally, and
the packing of the courts of the land
with corporation lawyers.
On the taxation of corporation prop
erty, which caused the split in the Pop
INSTRUMENTATION, the platform says: IN
asmuch as railroad and other corpora
ton property is not bearing its proper
ton Of taxation, we demand that such
property shall bear its just and equal
share OF expense OF government

covery of land. Reversed, Harrison j.,
dissenting.
Section 325. C. c. p, provides that
In no case shall adverse possession be
considered established under the pro-
vision Of any section or sections of this
Code, unless it shall be shown that the
land has been occupied and claimed for
the period of five years continuously,
and the party or persons, their prede-
cessors and grantors, have paid all the
taxes. State, county or municipal,
which have been levied or assessed upon
such land Held that the language Of
this section must be construed that
the word levied" refers to the act Of
the Board of Supervisors in making
the levy and the word assessed to the
act of the Assessor in making the as
sessment. That being SO, both the
assessment and levy must be made
while the occupant is in possession, or
he is not called upon to pay the tax.
1t is not requisite that the party who
relies upon the statute should show
that he claims title in hostility to the
United States. He may admit title in
the United States, either With or with
out claim on his part of the right to
acquire the title from the United States.
ana it is sufficient if he has such pos
session as is required by the statute,
and claims in hostility to the title
which the plaintiff establishes in the
action.

been considered by the Foreign Rela-

The expression of an opinion as to
the action Of either the committee or
of Congress with regard to the report
would be premature at this time, in
Senator Davis Judgment, as only those
who had read the report had any def
mite idea of the findings Of the court
CT inquiry, and they might not be pre-
pared to say what course it would be
