THE BONDS QUESTION.

.We are going 10 uphold McKin-

Colds bonds. ."-CAPITAL JOURNAL.
This statement comes from a man
who really means IL. Col. Hofer
n.eans to be patriotic and no doubt
would support our president in time
OF national peril, even though he has
dubbed niue William the Weak" but
what hedging for policy? I'm
godiy gold bonds!"
Would Col. Hofer or any other man
expect for one minute that United
States bonds payable 10 silver coin or
redeemable in his own promises to
pay. could carry on war?
o Produce your man, Mr.. Hofer, who
would buy United States bonds in
silver, especially II free coinage were

1.-THE syndicate headed by j. Pierre
pont Morgan was asked how much
more they would pay for a straight
gold bond than for coin gold or sill
yer) bond. They replied three quar-
ters Of one per cent. They finally
took 100000 of coin bonds at 81 as
against the gold bond at 3 per cent
interest.
On thirty year bond the Morgan
syndicate only discounted three-quar-
ters OF one per cent, and take all the
chances OF getting pay in silver coin.
If we have not produced the man, Mr.
Eugene Register, we will say to you
that all American bonds are payable
In ''coin" and under present laws nc
other kind of bonds can be issued.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The following Is the platform adopted
by the republican party Of Oregon in
state convention assembled, at Astoria,
Thursday April IA, 1898:
we. the republican voters OF the
state Of Oregon, in convention assem-
bed, congratulate the people of the
state as well as of the whole nation on
.he unmistakable fact that the dark
cloud Of adversely, which has hung like
a pail over our fair land, has been dis
slpated. We recognize that the return
Of prosperity is due to the restoration
Of the republican party to power.
1--WE are in favor of the maintenance
the present gold standard; we are
inquallhedly opposed to the free coin
ge of silver and to all other schemes
jOking 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 of free silver
rs calculated to jeopardlse the prosper
ity of the country and to shake the
confidence OF the people in the main.
tenancs of a wise financial policy; We
particularly condemn as unpatriotic
the efforts of the free silver agitators
to array class against class and sec.
ton against section; we declare that
the interests of all classes and of all
sections OF our country alike demand
a sound and stable financial system.
while we deplore the imminence oi
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 de-
clare that the administration Is en-
titled in this conflict to the confidence
and support of the entire people.
I'VE are firmly attached to the prln.
ciples of the federal constitution; VIC
recognize that representative govern
ment Is one of these principles, and we
are opposed to any change In law oil
constitution which will abrogate this
tlme-honored principle
I'VE are in favor of retrenchmsni
and reform in state and county mat
ters.
I'VE demand strict economy in pub
lie affairs, and the abolition of al
needless offices and commissions.
THE salmon fishing industry, SC
fruitful a source of revenue to tn,
state, should be fostered, and to tha
end we favor state aid in the artificia
propagation of salmon, and their dis
| tribution in the waters of the state.
we reaffirm our allegiance to the
| principles of the republican party Of
the United States, as enunciated by
the republican convention in st. Louii
in 1896.
I'VE denounce the fusion party o.
Oregon as an aggregation of spolls
men, who are ready to subordinate
principles to offices. Each of the par
ties to this compact is willing to stul
tlfy itself and form alliances with ele
ments which 1t has heretofore de
nounced as dangerous and unfit to b'
lntrusted with power; we declare tina
good government cannot come from
such an alliance"

MADRID. April ALSO p. m.-Acor
respondent here of the Associated
Press has just had an interview with
a persoEags of great authority, who
cleared up many descrepsncies of
previous reports, showing just how the
Papal Intervention occurred. This
minister said: .Then d no Papal
telegram whatever. What happened
was that the Spanish ambassador at the
Vatican was approached by Cardinal
Rampolls, Papal Secretary or State,
who told him the President of the
United States had allowed it to be
understood that Papal Intervention
would be acceptable. The Spanish am
bassad6r wired here to that effect.
Thereupon, we Indicated that while It
was imp ossible for our regular army
lighting rebels, to agree 70 offer an
armistice at the suggestion Of any Ger
tain power, when the father of Chris
tendon offered Intervention, we
could not refuse It, knowing well that
reliance might be placed upon his
independent judgment. SO. not armis
tice. but a truce of tod has been agreed
upon Spain has shown a Willingness
to secure peace by concessions to the
last point consisted with her national
honor. The future depends upon the
power of the American government in
controlling hostile public opinion"

COMING MESSAGE.
"wednesday is Now Set for Delivery to
Congress.

WASHINGTON, D.. O., April Alt is
altogether probable the Presidents
message on the Cuban situation will
not be sent in before Wednesday. The
President, it is learned, will favor
recognition Of independence and for
chile Intervention, If necessary, to pre-
vent further hostilities in Cuba. Spain's
answer, in effect, will be declared to be
unsatisfactory and to leave little
or no reasonable grourd for hope
of satisfactory settlement. The
Cuban question is not at all
likely be reached through dipl0m attic
agencies. The disaster of the MAINE"
will be treated in a vigorous manner.
The whole subject will be discussed in
q spirit of patriotism that must CONS
mend itself to the entire American
people. This policy. however, it is said,
does not necessarily involve war, but
leaves the determination of that ques-
tion to Spain herself. Unless some
thing unexpected happens, within a
comparatively short time, indications
point to at least show of force against
Havana
