To Revolutionize TeIesraphy.

The Crehore-Squire Company, OF
Cleveland, Ohio, has been incorporated
with capital stock of 100000 to
conduct a telegraph business. The
promoters of the new company state
that they will adopt II new system, in
vented by Messrs. Crehore and Squire,
which will revolutionize telegraphy.
I've expect to put up wires through
out the country" said Col. Albert E.
Squire, one of the inventors OF the
system, "and in short time the pres,
ent system will have become thing
of the past. Our invention is called
the 'sign-wave' system. We have
sent as high as 1000 words per minute
by the system. 1t was tested by the
government about six months ago.
"Over 5000 words were sent at that
time. The receiving instrument
prints the message out on paper"
Among the incorporators of the
company is Harry A. Garfield, eldest
son of the late President Garfield.

The War Taxes,

Probably many druggists will have
to be content to make smaller profits,
and SO also will the dealers in tobacco.
The duty on tea will be wholly borne
by the consumer. The tax ON sugar re.
fineries and oil refining can be shifted
on to the consumer, and the banks will
probably charge their depositors for the
checks used. The class least affected by
the new law are the landlords who live
upon interest and those who live off the
profits Of others toll. They will pay
but little more than the day laborer.
Such schemes of taxation are unjus,
and are therefore unpopular. The best
provision OF the bill is that which pro.
vides for the coinage of silver bullion in
the treasury. This Injuries no one and
adds to the volume Of currency.-Santa

Misleading Scheme.

A company styling itself the "Model
Bicycle Company, of New York." has
been sending out circulars advertising
that Il wheel would be sent to any ad.
dress on receipt of $685.. Each BIZ
cycle was to be accompanied by a
"smokeless bicycle lamp, an electric
bell, cyclometer registering 10,OO(
miles and nickel plated stand" The
bicycle was described as "a perfect
charm, strictly high grade and modelled
after one hundred dollar machines
1t was said to have no awkward bolt:
or nuts visible, and the circular con.
tanned these significant sentences
"You cannot ride the wheel and pune
ture and cut tire. 1t does not weigh
thirty pounds, but is light and easily
carried" The scheme is similar tC
that worked by the Monitor Mfg Co.
Norwark, o., although more carefully
worded to escape responsibility. The
"wheel" is merely q cheap watch
charm.

"conservatism." as defined by the gold

idea Of taking that fgment back into

as to invite Spanish prisoners on their
way to Spain to return and join Gen.
eral Skaters army. The issues Of the

fined. Our only safety is to stand firmly
and united by them.-Erastus Snow.

A Pretty Effect.
New York Sun.

An Illuminated sign on a store up
town spells the name of the proprietor
IN letters outlined by electric lights
and is lit up and then made dark
again automatically. When the sign
begins to shine out, the electric bulbs
at the left are the first to appear, and
then the illumination follows the
course OF an immense pen writing the
name out. So closely is the course of
the pen followed that the al" in the
name is not dotted with its especial
electric dot until the last flourish At
the extreme right of the name is lit
up. Then, with a perceptible inter.
val, as If the gigantic pen was being
carried back, the dot on the al" Is
made and shines out and the whole
name appears.

THE CHICAGO PLATFORM.
1t Stands For Justice and Liberty, and Its
Principles Will BE indicated.


If the Democrats do not control the
next congress b. an overwhelming ma
jorlty, 1t will he because of inetiicien-
cy and timidity i'll leadership. The
reaction certain to be forced by the rad
icalism Of extreme plutocracy has al
ready begun, ard it is making itself
felt III an unmistakable way. What it
means i illustrated in these comments
Oh the proposed anglo American" i'm.
perialism and on the bond deal adopted
the other day by the free coinage Re-
publicans of Kansas in their platform:
We believe this government is capable of at
tending to its own affairs without the aid Of
any other nation on the earth.
We believe entanglinc alliances with foreign
nations to be lnimical to the best interests Of
this nation and that the teachings Of Washing
ton, having proved 50 wise in the past, should
be strictly observed in the future, and for this
reason we are opposed to the suggested Anglo
American alliance. The Republican party hav
ing obtained an unnecessary bond issue in
place Of the hm,iaili~m it promised to secure,
we demand that 'hc administration proceed to
prosecute tn" present war which it has so re-
luctantly undertaken. The pace set by Admit
raj Dewey suits us.
We believe that manhood, not money, should
be the controlling factor Of this nation and
that all corporate interest should be under
strict government control, and TO this end we
extend our cooperation to any party that hon.
estly and fearlessly attempts to restore the
affairs of the government to the people.
In Kansas, in Nebraska, in South
Dakota and throughout the west gener-
ally plutocratic radicalism in tho con-
duct Of the war has broken down mid
die Of the road" Populism ON the one
hand and on the other has destroyed all
possibility that the Democratic party
can be controlled by the Palmer Buck
ner boilers. Instead of changing the
issues of the Chicago platform, the
bond dealers and imperialists at Wash
ington are forcing the fullest co.opera-
ton among all the clements which
united in full support of Bryan in the
last campaign. Hanna, Morgan, Whit
ney. Gage, Mckinley and Rothschild
are cooperating to force a more COM
plete and effective union of all forces
of opposition to plutocracy than seemed
possible six months ago. The Chicago
platform stands for the constitution and
the laws. for justice, for liberty, for
Americanism, for civilization. It's
principles are about to receive an over
whelming vindication.

Watch the Treasury Department.

Another popularity Of the war reve.
nue. is that it makes no mention for
what purpose the bonds are to be issued.
1t is not provided that they shall be
used to obtain money to prosecute the
war. 1t authorizes the issuance Of the
5000. 600, 900 Of bonds, or so much there
Of as may be necessary. and the Sec
rotary Of the treasury is made the sole
judge Of the necessity. Mr.. Gage has
often declared that it is necessary to re.
tire the greenbacks and treasury notes,
and it would not be unreasonable to
suppose that with such views Mr..
Gage would issue the bonds to provide
basis for bank circulation in order
that greenbacks might be retired. Mr..
Gage is banker and has repeatedly de.
clared that national bank circulation is
necessary to sound financial system,
and the bonds provided for in the bills
would go long way to meet that neces.
sity.-East Oregonian.

For the first time since its change
of management, the Tacoma Ledge,
has shown that it can be actuated BY
selfish motives. Its unseemly attack
on the good people OF Olympia and the
capitol bill, and its efforts to make 6
saint of Gov. Rogers for vetoing said
bill, are indisputable evidences that tn,
animus of its articles is desire to Sc.
cure the capital ior Tacoma. The
press of the State had reached the
stage that it was ready to swear by the
Ledger at all times, when the high
ideal is thrown down, and selfshness
is shown to be the master spirit tina,
inspires its utterances.-Skagit Nems

AN INSULT TO GERMANS.
SANDER IL tho Only Gratitude the Re
publican Party Knows.

SANDER Il tho Only Gratitude the Re.
publican Party Knows.
In the name of the Democratic party
and the 6, 500, 900 voters who cast their
ballot for Bryan in 1896, wo protest
against this vicious attempt ON the part
Of the combined Republican press Of
the United States to throw discredit on
the German race and character by re-
peatedly charging that Germany is
against US in the war with Spain. 1t is
an insult to nation that has always
been our friend, an insult to q class Of
our adopted countrymen who have al
ways been loyal to our flag. This base
SANDER is uttered in the interest Of the
proposed Anglo-American alliance, the
ono great object Of the Republican
party.
The fact that the victims of the in.
suit ON this side of the Atlantic have in
the past supported the Republican par
ty seems to have little weight with the
Republican press. The only gratitude
it knows is SANDER. The day of reckon
ing is approaching. The German Amer
leans are having their eyes opened.
Once they believed that the Republican
party was the best for this country.
Now they see it is narrow, bigoted and
anti-American in its politics. That will
not suit the Germans. They are COM
ing to understand the Democratic party.
Events Of the past few years have
taught them lesson. We welcome the
German Americans to the ranks Of
Democracy. And this is not merely be-
cause they will make victory for us GER
tain, but because we love the study and
unflinching characteristics Of the race.
It was this same low contemplate big
otry that drove Irish Americans into
our ranks where they have ever found
the hand Of true brotherhood as we'll as
a chance to labor earnestly for a cause
that is Gods. When the Republican
party finds its true level, it will be
mainly composed Of a few Anglo
maniacs Chose what is its that look so
uncomfortable in male attire) and their

Humbug vouches For Humbug.

There are numerous exploiters of the
people, aud perhaps they form MAORI
ty, who really believe that they have a
perfect right to delude the masses and
prey upon them. They have some sort
of notion that it is an essential part of
the scheme of creation that the people
at large should labor and sweat in order
that the sleek and the we'll fed may at
tend to certain wholly and unimportant
things. OF course these wholly and I'M
important and ridiculous things are
made to appear very tremendous, and
the deluded herd find the apparent
trivality Of it all a proof Of the hidden
significance alleged to pertain thereto.
Thus humbug itself is accepted as the
voucher Of its own integrity, while
truth is actually discredited for the
reason that it is SO simple and obvious.
