That the first National Minin g
Congress is unalterably in favor OF
the principles of bi-metalism.
That gold and silver--not one 10
the exclusion eff the other---are the
money metals of the Constitution.
That gold and silver used for mon

rights, and to that end it is demand

which silver shall be coined free in
all minis equally with gold, and &c
have with it full and unrestricted
monetary power, and that they may
be in ratio of 16 to l, and when
coinage is represented by treasury
notes each dollar shall represent
412 1-2 of standard silver or pa

A Judge With Backbone.

Some months ago the brutal muir
der of Chinaman took place at
Bridgeport, Mono county Cal, and
the officers of law made no attempt
to pun sh the crime.
A few days ago Judge Virden
charged the Grand Jury to investi-
gate the matter impa1tially and
closed the charge as follows:
I'm this connection it has been
asserted and published broadcast
throughout the State that officers of
this county and of this court present
in Bridgeport at the time refused or
neglected to perform their sworn du-
ty as peace officers, rejecting not
only deeply upon such officers, but
casting shadow OF disgrace upon
the court itself. This also demands
your serious consideration, for if
they are innocent they should be ex-
onerated, and if they have been gull
ty of wilIful and corrupt conduct in
office, it will be your duty to so
find.
st has been publicly charged that
attorneys, also officers of this court
have unlawfully embezzled part or
portion of the property of the de
ceased, All Quong Tia. This also
demands at your hands careful in
vestigatlon, for if the officers of the
highest court of justice within your
county are willfully corrupt and are
let 90 unpunished, to whom can the
people of the county and State look
for an honest expositi OF the laws
and justice?'
Judge Virden evidently proposed
to show the people of Bridgeport
that there is still some law left in

prevailed in the neighborhood Every oceu-
pant OF dwelling near the scene moved out his
trunks and furniture TO the wharves and made
ready TO get 1t up town. The owners OF adioin-
ing factories turned out with their men, put
their private pumps and hose TO work, and
sought safety in ever 30 small stream of water.
The one idea was to get everything 30 wet that
the great showers OF flying sparks would find
nothing to seize upon.
They had good cause to take such precautions,
for the roaring line of 200 feet of raging flames
had increased the slight breeze to strong one,
so that the pond in which the log boom WA
located was the only barrier between the dry
dock wharf and destruction. The heat became
30 intense that steam rose from the
surface of the water and some OF the logs
were igniied by the flying embers. Nevertheless
the breeze prevented the hre from extending
across the roadway on the south side OF the
wharf, 80 that = wagon and the walls of build
ings on that side were intact, while on the
north side the flames had eaten down into the
slab pile beneath.
AT last the engines and freboat got fairly to
work aud cut off the fire at both ends OF the long
wharf just as ii had burned the office and the
end Of the Seattle Boiler Works OF the Moran
Bros. Co.. a building 60xlS0 feet. The building,
which was covered with c corrugated
iron roof, was OF great value
for II was of rough wood, but ths machinery
and plant, according 10 Robert Morans
estimate last night, were worth about $1,000,
and the stock $4,000. As soon as the fire reached
the further end of the mill, and the mill Office,
which stood next 20 the boiler works, the west
end OF the Moran building caught fire.
All the efforts of the firemen were then de-
voted to saving this structure, for by that time
nothing could be done for the mill To all APP
pearances the iron works, too, were doomed,
and the Moran brothers themselves, assisted by
several score OF willing friends, be-
gan rolling out the heavy boilers

many things were dropped down into the wa
tiers TO be picked up afterward, and this stuff
can be recovered with small damage. In twen-
ty minutes or so the shop was stripped of every
thing OF any great value except a few pieces of
heavy machinery, weighing a ton or two EACH
While this work was going on the iron roof held
the flames back, and finally the opportune
rival OF water from the hydrant at the corner of
Commercial and Weller streets, quenched the
flames completely.
In the other direction the fire was checked by
the streams from the fireboat and the salt water
pump just as 1t had attacked the lumber plies
dangerously close to the sawmill. The great tor
rents OF water poured upon it soon extinguished
the flames completely in that direction. The mill
andithe lumber piles close around it were safe
from that time. The flames continued to rage

the boiler works, and worked their way down in
