M. STRAUSS & son,
UNDER RAWLINs0N's HOTEL.
A COSTLY WHIsTLE-CREDIT.

a COSTLY WHISTLE-CREDIT.
M STRAUSS & SON established the Strictly
lN. Cash System, and find that the people of
York appreciate their motive, and calculate the
benefit which they derive in buying Goods cheap.
WHO PAYS FOR THE WHISTLE?
The cash buyer, generally, pays for those who
don't pay. NJ. STRAUSS q SON sell only Tor
Cash, and, therefore, sell cheap, as they have
no lame ducks nor dead heads to carry, nor make
others pay for time spent in keeping books, COL
lecting, or money lost.
SOUND SLEEP IMPORTANT TO HEALTH.
The cash buyer sleeps sound, no trouble ahead.
The credit buyer, if he intends to pay, Is troubled
in day time and restless at night.
GREAT SAVING OF MONEY.
The cash buyer buys what he needs !; the credit
buyer what he wants. The first gets richer, the
latter poorer.
LOW-CITIZENS AND FRIENDS,
Without distinction, 60 to M. STRAUSS & SON,
who sell only for cash, and you will find good
assortment g.
AT PRICES REDUCED.
They are selling cheaper than anywhere else.
They sell to the poor rs low as to the rich. They
sell to the ignorant as low as to the expert They
sell to stranger as low as to an acquaintance.
Every one gets
FULL VALUE IN EVERY ARTICLE,
and they don't help along lame ducks, or carry
dead heads nor do you pay for the whistle.

In THE SENATE, the House bill for the re-
lief of certain trustees, guardians and others,
together with the favorable report Of the Ju.
dietary Committee on Senate bill of same
import, were taken up and considered at some
length. After full discussion, the Senate
decided that trustees and guardians should be
held responsible for the funds of their wards,
and not be relieved of their legal obligations
except by the payment of their just dues. So
the Senate, on call of the ayes and nays,
struck out the enacting clause of the bill, by

The independent Platform.

The Peoples Independent Party met
in Convention at Sacramento, and,
having adopted the platform publish
ed in yesterdays edition., nominated
Judge McKinstry for Supreme Judge.
They, probably, took this stand after
mature thought, and having a higher
field point from which to view the bat
tie, than that of an ordinary observer.
But perhaps, in taking in this step,
they have gone further than many,
who earnestly supported them i'm the
general election, will be willing to fol-
low. Judge Mckee, the Democratic
nominee, is universally acknowledged
to be man of the highest ability and
integrity. For term after term he has
been elected in district strictly Re-
publican, because the members of
both parties had an answering faith
in him. Every plank in the platform
which expresses an issue, the HERALD
accepts, and accepts with it's entire de-
vOtion; but it can not but doubt the ex-
pedience of issuing it, and nominating
a judicial candidate upon it. The ext
gencies of the rights of the people did
not demand at this time this move
ment. No breath has ever been breath
ed against Judge Mckee. No one
has charged him with being under the
influence and control of any corpora
ton or clique. No one has doubted his
judicial acumen or integrity. This
being the case, it would seem unwise
to put in the field against him, anoth-
er who may even be his equal in all
these respects. By so doing, it is pos
sible the election of third and worse
man may be brought about. The
fight of the people against monopoly
is not one that will die out. A delay in
organizing will not put out the burn
ing issues which have been kindled
into flame. But hasty departure,
before all are ready to accept its ne
cessity, will produce irreparable in

Needless Barbarity.

The presence of two reprieved Mo-
docs, shackled and placed in front of
the gallows of the condemned Indians,
is a refinement of cruelty worthy
only of ages of persecution. In days
when Catholics and Protestants, under
the name of religion, committed alike
unjust and cruel deeds, such thing
rs this would not have been tolerated.
The agony of a condemned man as he
walks up the stairs to eXpiate his
crime, is too fearful Il thing to hold up
as an instrument of torture to those
whom the law is furnishing in diff
ferent way. There was no necessity
to drag out the reprieved men and
make them gaze, all ironed as they
We're, on the last terrible end of their
accomplices. Any one who has ever
beheld his fellow man suddenly and
violently deprived of his existence,
must feel that the more privately the
fearful sentence is carried into effect
the better it must be. To make sem
satiolf of that sickening process of
binding, tying and hurling Il man in
to eternity can subserve no good end.
Captain Jack and the others suffered
most justly for their brutal murders.
Hanging was, indeed, too good for
them; but there is - difference be-
tween a murder and an execution.
The first is the result of hate and evil
passions, the second is the calm digni-
fled act of the law. Foully horrible as
was the treacherOus butchery of Gen
Candy, DIR. Thomas and Others, yet
the placing of BarnachO and Sioux in
front of the scaffOld whilst their COM
rades passed from life to the throne
of the Great Judge, was an illadvised,
useless and indecent act.

MISCELLANEOUS.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 3.-It is stat
ed from Washington on the authority
of Ex-Governor Cook, that the firm
Of Jay, Cook Il Co., will soon make
proposition to their creditors for the
purpose of enabling it to resume bust
ness. The members of the firm have
pooled their private property, and per-
sOnal assessments, and will place them
at the command of their creditors in
liquidation of their indebtedness. They
propose to pay every cent they owe.
j. "A. Young, money order clerk,
Brooklyn post-Office, is missing. He
is defaulter to an amount unknown.
COLUMBUS, Oct. 3.-The financial
panic appears to have reached its
height. The Commercial Bank, a
small private installation, closed this
morning, under a run of small depos-
itors. Later the report that the Com
mercial Bank had closed was prema-
ture. 1t has only stopped the pay
