MARSHALL MONUMENT,
What the People OF Ell DoradH County
Are Doing About 1t.

"nat the feOple OF FL DOradA County
Are Doing About 1t.
PLACERvILLE, April 24th.-A meeting
was held at the Court house last Mon.
day evening to make arrangements fo1
| accommodating the visitors who are ex.
pected at the unveiling of the Marshall
monument on May Sd. Owing to imper-
fect announcement, or some other cause
not many were present, and after a brief
discussion and the election OF officers, the
meeting adjourned till this evening, Thurs
day, April oath, at O'Clock, when the mat
ter will again be taken up, with a better
attendance. it is hoped.
A few plain words of explanation about
these arrangements will be necessary if the
affair is to be managed rightly. In the
first place the impression is abroad that the
Native Sons are in exclusive charge of the
unveiling, and will conduct the entire af-
fair as an organization. This is incorrect.
The Native Sons have nothing to do with it
as an Order, more than other citizens, ex-
cept that the members of the Grand Parlor
have been invited to attend, and every IN
dividual member of the Order feels strong
interest in MarshalPs memory The local
Parlor will provide carriages to convey the
visiting officers of the Grand Parlor to Co.
Iona, but others Of the Order, both resi-
dents here and visitors, will have to secure
conveyances for themselves.
1t Is not the general sentiment that our
people are expected to provide absolutely
free conveyance and meals for those who
attend the unwilling ceremonies, but it is
desirable that an abundance of teams shall
be secured to carry people thither at reason
able prices promptly and without any ex-
tortion. If such arrangements cannot be
made, and if there is any probability of
great inconvenience or any extortion, it
will be better to discourage the attendance
of visitors than TO disappoint and exasper-
ate them by inconvenient or extortionate
arrangements. The meeting tonight is to
provide method of accomplishing this
systematic arrangement, and it is hoped
that there will be general attendance
Those prepared to furnish conveyances are
especially urged TO attend the meeting.

convention to-day adopted the following
platform

in Iowa, Ohio Rhode Island and i'm the munics
lpal elections recently held throughout the
cnion. We hail the results that assure the de-
special interests and the privileged classes and
the advancement of the Democratic party. who
stand for the equal rights of the whole people.
we denounee the fraud by which the Montana
people were deprived of their rights of repre-
sentation in the United States Senate by the
Senators OF their own choice
We oeileve IN special rights to none aud
equal rights 10 all, and favor tariff for reye-
hue limited to the Government expenses We
condemn the tariff bin now before The Home.
and we condemn and denounce the attempt OF
appropriating the surplus by the Republican
majerity, which belongs to the whole Deonie
to the payment of bounty on sugar which
compelS many to pay direct tribute to the
few. We denounce the action of Speaker Reed
in counting as votes Democrats for RepnbIicsns
who had not voted on PENDING measures
We reafiirm the Democratic party is of the
opiinlon that s2ld and silver is equally the peo-
pies money. We demand free coinage and 10
discrimination in favor of silver. We call the
attention OF the voters of Oregon to the position
always maintained by the Democratic party on
the Chinese question, and demand a strict en-
| forcement OF the Scott Exclusion Act We
favor not only the forfeiture by the Northern
Pacific of the land grants from Wallula to Port

4unearned land grants to the public domain
We claim the Government needs wise head

clare 1t TO be the sense of the Democratic party
that Governor PeDnoyer, in his veto of the bill
known as the port water bill, used great iudg-

The Convention was harmonious and the
best of feeling prevailed. Governor Sylves-
ter Pennoyer was renominated, and Colo

SILVER PROBLEM,
Full Text of TelIers~ Free Coinage Bill
-Teller's Obiection

Sahoh D oobcCtiohs
WASHINGTON, April 24th.-The Republi.
can members of the House have agreed
upon silver bill, which provides for the
purchase of 100000 ounces of silver bull.
ion per month; that bullion certificates
shall be redeemable in lawful certificates
OF the United States, but no greater or
lesser amount of notes shall be outstanding
at any time than the cost of the silver
bullion In the Treasury; provided that the
Secretary OF the Treasury. in his discretion,
exchanges for such notes an amount of
silver which shall be equal in value at
market prices on the day of the exchange
of the notes. The bill allows the Secre-
tary to purchase both foreign and domestic
bullion, and also repeals the provisions of
the present law which requires the coinage
OF net less than 100000 each month.
There were six dissenting votes.
Teller introduced in the Senate today a
bill authorizing the free coinage of silver,
which he stated he intended to press as a
substitute for the bill which had been
agreed upon by the caucus of both houses.
Following is the text of Tellers free
coinage bill, introduced this morning:
Section l. Any person may deposit at any
mint or assay office of the United States either
gold or silver bullion, or both, in quantities of
not less than five ounces of silver, and demand
of 81 in coin or certificates for 25 $40 grains,
Troy weight, of standard gold and at the rate
OF 81 in certificates for APP grains, Troy weight,
of standard silver that the coin certificates pro-
vided for in this Act shall be received for all
taxes and dues to the United States of every de-
scTiption, and shall be lawful tender tor the
payment of all debts, public and private.
Section 2. That it shall be the duty of the Sec.
retary of the Treasury to cause q sufficient num-
Der of coin certificates of the various denomi-
nation hereby authorized to be prepared and
distributed among the United States depositors
to enable them to comply with the provisions of
this Act, and the sum of $4,000 is hereby appro.
priated to enable him to prepare and distribute
said certificates.
Section 5. This Act is to take effect thirty days
after its passage.
Teller objected to the bill agreed upon by
last nights caucus because it gives theSec-
retary of the Treasury the option of re.
deeming the certificates in bullion.
Stewart is not altogether pleased with the
caucus bill and Bland of Missouri says it
will have the effect of creating silver
boards and rings to fiuctuate silver.

mother were unconscious.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 24th.-The strik-
ing molders appeared to be somewhat
downhearted this morning at the revela.
tions of yesterday.
On the contrary, the founders are all
smiles, and predict that the weakness of
the strikers will be unequivocally estab-
lished in few days. The founders say
that the success of the last attempt at
getting molders into the city has proved
that by persistence and determination
they will soon have all the help they need
They also say that offers of assistance,
in far greater amounts than the $4,000
subscribed yesterday, have been proffered
them, and that delegations of represent
ative men have rendered their efforts toward
terminating the strike, which is causing
great hardship and destitution among
many deserving people.
The strikers, on the other hand, make a
succinct denial that any disaffection has
shown itself among their ranks. and say
their determination to resist until the
strike is successfully terminated in their
favor is just as strong as ever.

Frontier Defenses.
BELGRADE, April 24th.-The people OF
the Balkan countries are far from being
unfriendly toward each other, but it is not
the same with their Governments. Prince
Ferdinand of Bulgaria has raised money
in Vienna and begun to erect Notifications
at Widdin, along the banks of the Danube
and in the defiles of Slivnetzia, where his
predecessor, Prince Alexander of Batten-
burg, defeated the Servians under Prince
Milan. The Bulgarian Minister of War
declares that they have nc belligerent in
tentions, and that they merely followed
the example of other European nations
which pretended that the greater the mill
tary preparations the better was the in
sured maintenance of peace.
Rumor has it that secret treaty has
been signed under the auspices of Russia
between her two proteges, Servia and Mon
tenegro, by which Montenegro has prom
ised the assistance of 20,00O soldiers to
Servia, and besides, would promptly send
in case of war sgainst Prince Ferdinand
thousands of Russian so-called volunteers,
who would flock under her standard, as
was done on the opening of the Turkish
war in 1877.
