Kearneyed kearney. We do not believe it.
Dennis kearney may be a red mouthed bIath-
erskite. d-handed incendiary, and red
headed, administered and red-nosed Aus
trallan agltator, unnaturaiized and unclean,
but he is no such man as Luttrell The
Committee seem to have been conscious of
this fact and to have treated him as if it were
better for the sake of pleasanter atmosphere,
to sit with each man his handkerchief at his
nose, and some active disinfectants sprinkle .
about. No. kearney is 40 Luttrell, he l. u
vaporing, noisy mobocrat, but he hasn't got
down quite to the bottom.
Mr.. Joseph V. Crawford, of Santa Monica
has been before the House Committee on Pa

The coinage of 20 cent pieces j. to be dis
continued. The properer thing would be to

llinting of silver five cent pieces. Then the
petty larceny constantly practiced in making
CHI, rye in these States of the Pacific might in
Ii be arrested.
