GUBERNAToRIAL. - As the political
csuldron begins to simmer and candidates
come to the surface, the press and people
become active in canvassing the merits
and claims of those who would head the
winning ticket and lead the Republican
masses on TO victory. Among those
heretofore prominently named for the
position, General John T. Miller author
ICES the statement that he is not candi-
date for Governor, and it is well. Fore
most among the remaining candidates,
who have been mentioned are Hon. George
C. Perkins, of San Francisco. formerly
State Senator from Butte), and General
George s. Evans, State Senator from
San Joaquin. While either of these
gentlemen would receive hearty support
from the party Of which they are nc
knowledged leaders and would do honor
to the position, the JOURNAL favors. tho
nomination of Mr.. Perkins, Believing
him 20 be the best and strongest man.
Shipping "before the mast" and making
the voyage around Cape Horn, George
Perkins arrived in California, ponnilcss
boy, in the early Pioneer days. Honest,
energetic and economical, he has steadily
advanced, and is to-day NUN bered among
the most prominent business men OF the
State. being a member of the firm Of
Goodall, Perkins &c Co., the leading
steamship agents on this Coast. His rec
ord as n Legislator is without blot or
blemish, and during his career as State
Senator his advocacy Of measure was n
guarantee Of its merit. Even his political
who served with him in the
Legislature, afford him the greatest praise
in this respect, he being an acknowledged
champion of the peoples rights and a
and able opponent Of all mo-
nopolies. Personally NJ. Perkins is n
genial companion and very clever gentle
mar. His nomination and election to the
high position Of Governor of California
would be n credit to the State and de-
served tribute TO tho laboring class from
whence ne sprung.

LADY LAWYERS. - The House bill
which passed the Senate on Friday, re-
lating 10 lady barristers, by two-thirds
majority, will almost certainly receive
the Presidents approval and become n
law. All that any woman of good moral
character has to do under it to be admit
ted to practice in the Supreme Court of
the United State is to qualify herself by
sufficient legal knowledge for practice in
'the highest court of any State or Terri.
tory, "anG secure admission in such court.
Wyoming, we believe, allows women to
practice law in the highest courts or an
equality with men. and that territory
will be the Mecca for some time of all
lady aspirants to the honors Of admission
to practice in the Supreme Court of the
United States. 1t will raise the somewhat
question delicate in many State Supreme
Courts which do ret favorably re-
gard the right or privilege of women to
practice law, whether license from the
highest court IN the Fedora Government
shall or shall not compel recognition in
all the State courts. There is no question,
however, that lady barrister holding q
license from the United States Supreme
Court will be entitled to practice in all
the United States Circuit and District
Courts. - ChTOnicle.

AMERICAN CoINs.-The coinage Of the
United States shows a remarkable want
Of ar:, or even OF good taste. The coins
have no historical interest, but neverthe-
less they are highly appreciated by
American collectors. And as in certain
years certain denominations were only
coined in very limited number, the sup
ply Is not sufficient TO meet the demand
and such pieces bring high prices, esper-
tally in beautiful preservation. The ear
ly coins of the Colonies-New jersey,
Connecticut, Massachusetts,, New York,
etc.-are abundant, and poor specimens
with the exception Of rare varietios) may
be lad ut ten cents. The franklin cent
Of 1777, and similar pieces, are quite CON-
mon. So are specimens Of the old Col
onal and Continental paper money,
which sell as low ms ten cents.
or the United States silver dollars, the
dollar OF 1894 is worth $50; Of 1904. $3.50;
1896, So; 1888, 500; 1879, 500; 1851, SlOi
1852, $40 1854, s.; 1855, So; 1778, $50
All other dates bring only 81 % to 50,
half dollars of1796 and 1897 are very rare
and bring S25 to S75, according to condi-
ton. The 1905 1915, 1896, milled edge.
and 1852 half dollars are much in demand
and If ine, bring IS and 81 50. Ofquar-
ters in 1896 and 1904 are highly priced in
fine preservation. The 1898 is very
rare and worth $50. The dimes Of 1890
and 1904 realize about IS, and the hall
dime of 1902 is considered n bargain at
500. Copper cents Of 1893 may be had
rs low as twenty five cents, but in sharp,
uncircuiated condition bring $50 and
more. Mr.. Harzie!d saw just now n speci-
men, ms fine as the day it was struck,
which is valued at $780, Cents of 1874,
1885, 1876 and 1877 are common, but those
Of 1899 are worth $50, and more, if fno.
A fne cent of 1904 is equally rare, and
the issues Of 1909, 1911 and 1928 are not
very rare, but very desirable in fine and
sharp condition. OF half-cents the 1886
is worth $25 to $50, while the other regu.
lar issues are very common. The small
nickle cent Of 1886, with the flying eagle,
is worth, fine, 81 so.
There are, as matter of course, coun.
terfcits Of the rare pieces in existence, and
it is a strange fact that they were, with
very few exceptions, not issued By any
unscrupulous coin dealer, but fraudulently
ro-stucE Off the genuine dies by former
employees ofthe Philadelphia Mint.
The dollars OF 1901, 1902, 1904, 1850 and
1851; the quarter dollars of 1928 and 1925
and 1927, and valuable pattern coins, to
the amount, it is said, of $40, 900, have in
this way been issued, cheating at the
same tine the United States Government
and credulous coin collectors. Profess
ional numismati,ts know these re strikes
well, just as they can tell genuine an
t;que Greek or Roman coin from a mod
ern forged one. And sensible collectors
will purchase only from reliable dealers.
Besides, at Pbiladephia, New York and
Boston there are numi ismatic societies,
whore valuable information is secured to
the members. IhiiadelpAjU Times.

TILDEN's STATEMENT. - The New
York Titbune'S editorial on Tilden has
the following points The whole world
sat at the reporters tables to catch the
faint whispers that fell from the worn and
haggard old man. With the lock of a
corpse, except in moments of excitement;
with slow, far away voice, ard slow,
painful movements, dropping the lett
eyelid, the parchment-like cheeks and
quivcring hand, Tilden repeated his state
ment-evidently prepared with great care
in a voice much of the time hardly au-
dible four feet away. His manner showed
Intense and increased nervous excitement,
by great effort restrained his body rose
and fell in the seat INCREASINGLY, as if he
were try ing in vain 10 rise, and his seem
ingly half useless left arm. shook like n
leaf. Then his excitement burst all
restraint his face flushed almost purple;
his lip quivered; bis right arm repeatedly
smote the table with great force and pas.
sion, and his voice rang through the
room with most painful intensity, like the
shrek OF drowning man. After every
such effort the sentence died away, as if
the voice WAS stopped by closing waters.
The effect was almost that of death bed
declaration. Had tie matter thereof
equalsd in force the solemnity of manner,
this deelarOtion would have had great
effect net, indeed, that the people would
have been more ready to lift to the Presi-
dency a man so broken and so manifestly
living only in bitter and torturing memo.
ries-but the matter wGs by no means
equal to the manner in impressiveness
nor could an unprejudiced hea rer avoid
contrasting the declarations of Tiden
with his own admitted conduct towards
men whose deeds Gil dark page in the
history of the country. Tiden's testi-
mony was doubtless as strong as, after
four months of preparation and consulta-
tion, it was possible to mako it. That
1t was not exceedingly strong was due to
the inherent and insuperable difficulties
of his position.

THERE has been much talk ard not
without some reason, rs we are assured.
of union between the Workingmen and
the Democrats, on the condition that the
latter may have the Congressman and the
former the Legislature, Governor and
other State officers and it is intimated
in certain quarters that the Republicans,
fearing such coalition. may themselves
offer somewhat similar terms .--,Sdc. Bee.
We are of the opinion that the intima-
ton above referred to will not meet the
approval of any considerable number of
Republicans in this State. AS an humble
member Of that great party, having its
interest and success at heart, we enter our
protest against any fusion or coalition
Whatever. If the Republican party can
not win on its merits, with Republican
candidates, let US rejoice in defeat.

PLEASE E'T.-The Sacramento Bee
says There are many who urge that
Greed Raymond should be selected to head

would insure victory 20 that patty, while
MS it is il looks doubtful at least." WhiIo
We personally entertain feelings Of great
respect for Mr.. Raymond and bow in
recognition of his ability as an attorney
and an advocate, nothing would do moro
violence to our political feelings than TO
see man of his previously pronounced
ultra Democratic views placed at the
head ofthe Republican State ticket. Such
suggestions are SIMPLY ridiculous and
must not be entertained for n moment
California is n Republican State and
nothing short of stra ;ght and unquestion-
able partisan nominations will secure the
united and enthusiastic support Of the
voters of our party.

THE Chicago Nc'eS, little one-cent

cocktail is Of comfort, reduces the thing
to its essence thus: "a burglar enters
your house in the night time and says
Now I've got you Don It move If
you move I'll knock your brains out !
Give me all you possess, and be quick
about it, You defy the burglar, and in
vite him TO come on anl try his hand at

of the fight, but finally you get your
work in on him, so to speak, and before
he can say Jack Robinson, his nose is
BACKED, mis- sides are punched in, and he
retires from the house feeling quite un-
well. Next day the burglar calls upon
you and presents claim Of $4,000 for
damages sustained by him while he was
endeavoring to rob your house. OF
course you kick him out. This is the
