Not So wonderfnlly Rich.

SAN FRANCISCO, March Ex-Governor
Torres, of Lower California and Sonora,
has put a quietus on the gold fever at
Santa Clara by the following dispatch,
which he sent from Enseneda to the Mex
lean Consul here: 'sPlease publish through
the San Diego press that the richness of
the Santa Clara placers has been much
exaggerated. None but practical miners
find gold. Possibly new discoveries may
be made, but up to date the placers found
do not justify the excitement caused.
Prospectors coming in may probably rely
on new discoveries, but about this there is
no certainty"

ical progress in England. He was the
friend and successor of O'Connell.
O'Connell had been stirring Ireland
for forty years before John
Bright came into the House of Com
mons. For long after O'Connell's death
Bright delighted to recall their intimate
personal relations. He often said
that O'Connell was right on
every question, meaning particular
ly free trade, religious equality,
the abolition of slavery and parlia-
mentary reform. The tactics which
O'Connell employed Bright adopted. His
witnessing the great Peterloo massacre
in his childhood gave him an intense de-
testation of repressive measures against
the people who by agitation seek redress
of grievances.
The platform upon which Bright first
stood up in public life consisted of few
planks, but they were stout timber.
Abolition of state church, abolition of pro-
tective duties, abolition of war, reduction
of hours of labor, abolition of standing
army in Ireland, and the placing of that
country on exactly the same level as En-
gland.
John Bright was born at Greenbank,
Lancashire. November 16, ISL He was
educated in Yorkshire school belonging
to the Society of Friends. At the age OF
fifteen he was put to business by his father,
who was a cotton spinner. When, in 1888
the Anti-Corn Law League was formed in
Manchester, Mr.. Bright att ached himself tc
it In 1913 he entered Parliament. In
1857 Birmingham elected him one of its
members, and he has represented that
constituency ever since. Upon the advent
of Mr.. Gladstone to power in 1880 Mr..
Bright became Chancellor of the Duchy OF
Lancaster the second time but resigned
in 1882, because opposed to the policy OF
the Government with regard to Egypt.
Mr.. Bright was a member of the Society
of Friends, and as such was opposed to
war. During the civil war in America he
was an earnest defender of the Federal
cause.
In the House of Commons yesterday
Right Hon. w. H. Smith, the Government
leader with much emotion referred to the
death Of Mr.. John Bright. He said that
he would postpone his remarks on Mr..
Bright until Friday, when NJ. Gladstone
would be present
