The organization of the Oregon lCgis'a
tUTe this week recalls the very pronounced
sound money triumph achieved there in
June and which the stirring events of the
war in some measure obscured. The silver
men were routed in one of their former
strOnghoIds, after a campaign in which the
financial issue alone engaged attention.
The silver plank of the Chicago platform
was squarely antaConized by the sound
money men with an unaquivocal decIara ion
in favor of the gold standard, with the re-
suit that the silver men were swept all but
completely away.
The change from the previous election
was extraordinary. The legislature elect
ei at that time was seriously divided
it proved to be impossible to organize it,.
There had been a fusion of the silver
forces in the campaign. and a majority of
the b-Gy elected were silver men. But per-
sonai fortunes cIashed. i'll feeling was
aroused, and after consuming in wran-

Why DO They Delay.
From the Savannah News


If the Spaniards do not hope that some
thing might turn up to their advantage if
permitted to remain in possession of Cuba
until the treaty is signed, why is 1t that
they want to remain there longer than the
protocol permits them? Why is it that
they want to join cuba to the Philippine
question? Do they think that there is GO
ing to be trouble between the United States
and one or more of the powers of Europe
over the Philippines, and that if they are
still in Cuba when the trouble comes they
Will have chance to stay there? If that
is not the purpose of their request what is
it? Can 1t be possible that they simply
want more time to plunder Cuba? If that
is their purpose 1t can be seen at once that
they should be required to evacuate the
island quickly they can get ships to
carry them to Spain. But whatever their
purpose is in wishing to remain their re-
quest should not be granted. The protocol
should be adhered to strictly Any consid-
cradle departure from it's terms would like
ly be productive of trouble.

My dear old friend. good day.

An you think how glad he'll be
When he greets the chum as helped him
Such prosperity to see
How he'll ask about the neighbors
An rejoice to find a man
Who jes' personally likes him
'Thout no office-seekin' plan!
But it ohills you when his hired man
Stops an gazes at you hard,
An when you state your errand,
Says, You'll have to send your card"
The reply-again you hear it
With suspicion an with pain
He is out an there's no tellin'
