claimed, restocked and reoperated on a
plan that is primarily philanthropic,
and, secondarily, commercial. A cor

Secretary of the New York Stock Ex-

land ard farm buildings in the States
of Massachusetts,, Connecticut, New

The plan is indorsed by John Wana-
maker, Mrs. Ballington Booth, Nathan

Charity Fund. Officers will be appoint
ed here tomorrow. 1t is estimated that
more than j 100000 acres of rich fall
low land under cultivation twenty years
ago, lies idle to-day in the New Eng
land States, and it is the intention of
those who have associated themselves
together for the purpose to secure by
option and by outright purchases all
or nearly all of this vast territory and
to populate it with material drawn
from the crowded cities.
Missionary work will be begun in the
large cities, principally in New York
and Brooklyn, in which the assistance
of Ill organizations interested in bet
tering the condition of society will be
involved. The President of the COM
pany is A. Willis Lightbourne, Sec
retary of the New York Wool Ex-
change. George M. Atkins is Treas
urer and Charles Roblee General Man
ager.
President Lightbourne said of the
scheme: Our organization, while a
business enterprise, is founded on ba-
sis of true public spirit, and it's incor-
poration under the laws of the State
of Maine is hailed with delight through
out New England, for our success
means the putting of new life and new
blood into a territory whose fruitfulness
should produce millions of revenue"

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The following is the platform adopted
by the republican party of Oregon in
'=sA convention assembled, at Astoria,
FhiiISS ay. April II, 1893:
-Des the republican voters Of the
state Of Oregon, IL convection assem-
bied, 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
pail over our fair land. has been dis
sipated- We recognize that the return
OF prosperity Is due 70 the restoration
OF the republican party 10 power.
We are in favor Of the maintenance
Of the present gold standard; We are
unqualihedly opposed TO the free coin
age Of silver and to all other schemes
boxing to the debasement cf the cur
rency and the repudiation 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 10 jeopardise the prosper
ity Of the country and to shake the
confidence Of the people in the main
tenance Of a wise financial policy; we
particularly condemn as unpatriotic,
the effotts 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 OF
war, we recognize that the country is
on the eve of a war. undertaken for
the vindication Of the national honor
and the performance of a 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.
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.
I'VE are in favor Of retrenchment
and reform in state and county mat
ters.
I'VE demand strict economy In pub
lie affairs. and the abolition Of all
needless offices and commissions.
The salmon fishing Industry, so
fruitful a source OF revenue to the
state, should be fostered, and to that
end We favor state aid in the artificial
propagation Of salmon, and their dis
trlbution 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. Louis
in 1896.
We denounce the fusion party OF
oregon as an aggregation Of spoils-
men, who are ready to subordinate
principles TO offices. Each of the par
ties to this compact Is willing to stul-
tify Itself and form alliances with ele-
ments which II has heretofore de-
nounced as dangerous and unfit to be
lntrusted with power; we declare that
good government cannot come from
such an alliance"
