A COMMON. sENsE LETTER.

To THE EDToR:--I see that news
paper articles are again making their
appearance calling attention to mat
tiers pertaining to health as well as to
the means whereby disease may be re-
moved and good health preserved. 1
am thereby reminded that have re-
ceiyed from time to time, pamphlet
publications issued by the well known
firm of H. II. Warmers & Co., which
dwell upon the history and growth of
kidney diseases; showing how such is
the cause of consumption, heart,
brain and nervous disorders, which
can only be successfully treated by re-
moving the primary disease from the
kidneys. AT the same time care is
taken TO remind the reader that Var
ner's Safe Cure is the only means
whereby the physician or the in
dividual can successfully prevent and
cure this class of disease.
Whilst have personal cause to feel
grateful to Warmers Safe Cure, for the
benefit which ! derived from it when
suffering from kidney troubles last
spring. 1 cannot zee, since that rem edy
is already SO we'll know in every
household, why the parties interested
in its manufacture should continue to
expend money in calling attention to
what the public already knows so we'll
L am aware. Mr.. Editor, that the
members of the medical profession are
seldom disposed to give due credit to
proprietary medicines, but public con-
fidence Is likely to be even more
shaken in those learned gentlemen
since the startling disclosures in the
Robinson poisoning cases were made
in SOmerville, Mass.
Here it was discovered through the
efforts of an insurace company, that
eight cases of death from arsenical
poisoning had occured-seve of them
in one family, and within five years
and the other that of relative-where-
in the true cause of death had not
been even suspected by prominent
physicians who were in attendance,
but who treated the cases for other
causes, and finally, when death occur
ed, issued certificates for such causes
as pneumonia, typhoid fever, menin-
gifts etc,
After such an evidence of the utter
incompetency of those physicians who
were regarded as experts in their pro-
fesslon, cannot conceive why it will
be longer necessary for further adver-
Using to be done in behalf of Warmers
Safe Cure, since I deem the somerville
disclosure to be the best possible en-
dorsement of the good sense manifested
by those who take matters of health in
their own hands and use remedy
which experience has shown to be full.

instead of trusting themselves in ex-

every effort TO prevent the coinage
from going into circulation. Senator
Stewart replies at considerable
length. From his reply we make the
following extracts ::
UNITED STATES SENATE,
WASHINGTON, D. c., March "a, 1889. !
Your suggestion to allow national banks
to deposit silver bullion in lieu uf bonds as
security for their circulation would be a
good one if the banks would unite in an
effort for money reform.
l am in favor of the use of both gold and
silver as money. and am opposed TO any
other Limitation upon the volume of the cir
culation medium than is fixed by the guam
tity of the two metals combined. This linn.
itation has frequently produced ruinous
contraction by the failure of supply of the
precious metals. Business is now paraly zed
by contraction caused by discarding silver.
The supply Of the two metals is now suffic-
lent, if both were freely used, to restore
prosperity. The world has lost large
portion of its gold and silver by wear and
loss Of coin in circulation. would avoid
this and also the expense Of coinage by
Issuing coin certificates upon bullion depos-
tied with the government. would allow
any person having either gold or silver bull
lion, or both, to deposit it at any mint or
assay Office of the United States and receive
legal tender coin certificates therefor at the
rate of one dollar for rs $40 grains, troy
weight, of standard gold, or 4l23 grains,
troy weight, of standard silver, such GER
tifcates to be redeemable IN coin.
Yours very truly,
WIN. STEWART.

A Coon Hunt.

A colored coon named Bill Allen
who has been stable man and man
of all-work for Mr.. H. H. Hsines for
some time, was sent for on Tuesday
last by the state of Maryland, for
resisting and striking a constable
at Port Deposit several months since.
Allen has served a term in the
House of Correction at Jessups Cut
for striking man or boy in the
head at Port, with a brick.
Sore parties from Port Deposit
several days ago saw Allen and re-
ported his location. A warrant was
issued for his arrest and placed in
the hands of Constable Brickley;
who kept it till he got ready to do
the arresting. On Tuesday morning
the constable deputised Frank
Barnes and A. d. Keen to assist
him in capturing this dangerous
coon. The constable commenced
operations by going into the bank to
interview Mr.. Haines. His deputies
remained outside on the corner by
Worrall's store, looking over into
the stable yard and pretty soon a
little crowd collected and all joined
in looking into the stable yard,
The coon began 10 "smell MICE by
this time, came out and walked
down the street to McDougal's shop
and through the alley to the butcher
shop. The deputies walked down
after him. They came up to him in
or near the butcher shop. One Of
the deps. LAID his hand on the coon's
shoulder and said he wanted him.
Allen changed his hand from his
breast to his hip pocket and walked
backward few steps, showed the
whites of bis eyes and invories
but said nothing. He then turned
and walked forward, down Cherry
street, down Wilson's Avenue, down
Harrisville Avenue, and on towards
Pigeon hill; Still walking. The
deps looked for their chief but didn't
follow. The chiefwas still interview.

money market. The deputies return.
ed up town and the little crowd on
Worrall's corner melted away. The
chief hadn't got done interviewing
the bank President on the state of
the finances. The Coon had crossed
Pigeon hill, passed the farm houses
and the wheat fields, reached and
passed Harrisville, still walking and
heading for Mount Zoar, never look
ing back like Lots wife. When the
chief had got all the points on the
stock and money market, he came
out and his deputies reported the
awful srimmsge they had with the
dangerous savage,and how they made
a narrow escape from being shot
dead. This reused their chiefs
courage and horse and buggy we're
quickly procured, revo'vers reloaded
and the chief and one of his depu
ties started in hot pursuit. The
pursuers came in sight of the game
at Evans woods, and all most up to
him-he WAS still walking-before he
discovered his pursuers. The coon
jumped the fence into the bushes and
lit out. He had been saving his
wind for the home stretch, while his
pursuers were blown. Their horse
refused to take the fence and in a
few minutes the game was out of
sight and the pursuers returned to
town.

The CHASE NATIONAL BANK,

I'VE" AVN, VhdiCu ~, 1COOs
Your idea for national bank currency is
good, but as we can make no move in il for
more than year, deem it best to bend
our efforts to have the administration act
under the law authorizing the four millions
The panic in Paris demonstrated the fact
that the mono. gold standard is leading d.
rectly to panic, bankruptcy and Reputation
throughout the world, and also the passage
of 'stay laws" in many of the States. The
10, II and Is per cent. mortgages will not,
can not be paid under the enormous con-
traction CAUSED by throwing silver out Of
the condition of money. 1t is nothing short
of manifest destiny that silver will in time
be restored to the minis, but il looks to me
as though a general financial revolution
will precede any wise action on the part Of
this or any of the European nations.
Let us push for action under the law we
now have. the four millions per month will
bridge the awful financial chasm of panic,
bankruptcy, reputation and stay laws, so
far as this country is concerned.
Yours truly,
JOHN THOMPSON.
The law referred to by Mr..
Thompson, is the present law of
Congress which requires the coinage
of not less than two million silver
dollars per month, nor more than
four millions. Our U. 5. Treasurers
have been so under the influence of
the gold ring that all the administra.
tions heretofore have discouraged
the coinage of silver and limited the
amount to the minimum of two mil.
lion coinage monthly, besides using

A NEW RULE.
The Police Com m tssiOners Will Pro-
Vide n Ground for Dismfssals.


The Board Of Police Commissioners
will meet this afternoon, and it is antici-
pated that the usual circus will take
place. A number of men will be re-
moved from the force, and their places
filed by those who were put on as
specials two weeks ago. The Commits
sioners claim that this will be their last
upsetling OF the police list, and that when
it is Strengthened out this time it will be
let alone for the future, except that from
time to time individual removals may be
found necessary.
The means by which the removals will
be made this afternoon is here, for the
first time, made public. Sometime ago
it was decided to adopt code of rules to
govern the police force and the action of
the Police Commissioners. A committee
was appointed to get these rules into
shape and it will report at the meeting
to-day. One of the rules for the guild
ance of the Commission will be that no
man shall be appointed upon the force
who did not vote at the municipal cleo
ton Immediately preceding his ap-
pointment. This rule will be
made retroactive in its force
and by virtue of its adoption.
All the men now on the force who did
not vote at the last city election will be
considered discharged.
AS to exactly bow many men and
what men the application of this rule
will effect no one, not even the Commits
eioners themselves, can tell as yet.
There are only three men whose names
do not now stand on the books of the
County Clerk as registered voters. There
are ten or twelve whose names were not
on the Great Register at the time of the
last election. These, Of course, could not
have voted, as voting by card was not
allowed.
AS to vino of the others voted, this can
only be ascertained by an examination
OF the polling lists, or else by requiring
an affidavit from each of the officers.
This has not been done as yet, although
Commissioner Lindley visited City Clerk
iced yesterday ard discussed the ques-
| ton of what was the shortest way to get
at the list of those who did not vote.
1t is said, although this is not posi-.
men are to be discharged on general
principles, and for the reason that the
Commissioners want their places. 1t is
uOt llh0 tudt tno oporhtlOu VI tuo RUE
mentioned above will affect more than
ten or fifteen men, and places are needed
for more than that mum Der.
1t is not impossible that the Commits
sion will confne its action this afternoon
to the adoption of the rule, and will
postpone the carrying out of it's provis.
ions until some subsequent meeting, as
they may not yet have decided upon
whose head the axe is to fall. 1t is,
however, much more likely that the
whole affair will come to a finish this
afternoon.

County Jail yesterday while laboring I'M
der violent attack of temporary insan-
ity. 1t is the result of over-indulgence in

A Chinaman named All Own was taken
before Police Judge Stanton yesterday
for stealing some wine bottles from a
liquor store near Arcadia and Los Ange-
les streets. He pleaded gully and was
fined So. He produced the money from
pocket in linen belt which was wound
about ten times around his body, and
was nearly thirty feet in length. He
had to untwist the entire length before
ne could get down to the money.
A complaint was sworn out in the Dis
trict Attorneys Office yesterday charging
G. W. Adams with embezzling goods to
the value of $500. The complaining
witness is N. McCracken. The goods in
question were two horses, wagon, whip
and blanket. Mr.. Adams, according to
his account, borrowed the outfit on a
promise that he was going to drive to
Los Nietos. 1t now appears that Mr.,
Adams is en- route for Texas, where he
has sister living, whom he proposes to
join.
Arthur Rising was arrested early yes
terday morning for disturbing the peace,
and was tried in the afternoon by Police
Judge Stanton. Rising claims that Off
Ger Roberts owed a woman, for whom
he was acting as agent, $40. At 2 O'Clock
in the morning he tackled Roberts, who
was on his beat on Los Angeles street,
near Seventh, and demanded the money.
When it was refused he INDUCED in a
good deal of loud talk and the officer ar
rested him. On examining into the
case the Court decided that there had
been no misdemeanor committed and
Rising was discharged.
