On the 18th inst. the New York SUMS
leader was entitled ''The Devil"; and the
same day was the hottest ever known in
New York in June. What possible rela-
ton between the Sun, the excessive heat
and the devil there may be, we do not
undertake to say, but it remains that
there was a charming consistency be-
tween titles and fact about that time.

NOT GUILTY.
Compliment Paid to a Sacramento
Attorney.
Red Blur Sentinel. juno 25thJ


The jury in the case of the People
against Henry x. Long, charged with the
murder of Oscar Crandall, after being out
about one hour, returned verdict OF not
guilty. Colonel Boies, foreman of the
jury, informs us that the first ballot
showed every vote, mot guilty" The
verdict of the jury confirms the SentiReps
theory that Long was innocent OF the
crime he was charged with. There is no
doubt in our mind that every one of the
minds of the jury was made up before
they left the jury box, and, probably, be-
fore the closing speech of the District
Attorney.
The argument of defendants attorney,
Hiram w. Johnson, who spoke about
three hours, was one of the finest efforts
of legal argument and impassioned elo-
quence that we have ever had the pleasure
of listening to. Several Of the Jurors
were visibly affected during his eloquent
appeal for Justice and right.

AT the Ohio Republican Convention
Senator Sherman put the free coinage de-
mand to the stake in these words:
AXE in these words:

The demand for the free coinage of silver
without limit is a demand that the people of
the United States shall pay for silver bullion
more than its market price; demand that is
not and ought not to be made by the producer
OF any commodity. There is no justice or
equity in it. Ii granted by the United States
alone, IL Will demonetiZe gold and derange all
the business transactions OF our people.

STUBBORN FACTS.

Again it has been demonstrated to us
that Sacramento people appreciate our
efforts
We opened our great Fourth Semi
annual Sale three days ago, and our store
has been continually thronged with eager
buyers. A simple glance at the prices
have convinced them that we never ad-
vertise single article but what we deliver
the same to the customers and others to
the very letter.
1t is a fact beyond dispute that we have
named the prices SO low that they have
never been equaled on the coast, but be-
ing manufacturers Of our own clothinu, we
prefer to sell at cost and below at the end
Of the season, thereby being enabled
when the next season opens to show
new and desirable styles, and not present
to you at the beginning Of new season
old and stale patterns
Our buyer will shortly 40 to New
York, and when the fall season Of '91
begins we propose to lead all others by
being in the field with not only the larg-
est stock, but also the finest and most
stylish to be had, at prices unequaled in
California.
The same bargains we have from day
to day advertised are to be had until the
close Of this, our great ten-days' sale.
Prices exactly as advertised.
If you come early the assortment will
certainly be better, and as the old pro-
verb provides, "a word to the wise is
sufficient

Keptucky Election.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. A. Yesterday
was the last election by viva voce vote
that will ever be held in Kentucky.
The new constitution, despite the pow
erful opposition of railroads, banks and
corporations generally has carried by
an overwhelming majority, and the last
state constitution that still recognized
slavery is thing of the past The new
constitution will tax railways, banks
and stock companies; abolish the office
of public printer; provide for secret
ballot system and municipal govern
ment reforms, and also carries an anti
lottery clause which will wipe out the
half dozen lottery charters now being
operated with semi-daily drawings at
Covington and Louisville IN the inter-
ests of policy games throughout the
United States generally.
Reports from the cities and towns
throughout the state indicate that the
democratic ticket has about the usual
majority-probab ably 10000. Indications
are that the alliance or peoples party
vote is very small, despite the fact that
every effort was made for two months
preceding the election to organize the
alliance men in this state, all the lead
ers of that movement of national repu-
tation, including Senator Pfeffer and
Jerry Simpson, of Kansas; Taubeneck,
of Illinois. and Davis, of Texas, having
stumped the state thoroughly.

NEW YORK, Aug, 4.-The Evening

payable in gold, made within the last
four days One was loan of $500, 900
at per cent, payable in seven months
The amount of the other was so large
that the brok er who made it refused to

would indicate the parties to the trans

loaned q per cent. was the ruling
rate in the market, and it was not easy
to get large sums at that. The broker
who made the loans says that his clients
preferred AZ and per cent with the
gold clause in the notes to per cent.

know whether or not these were ex-
ceptional cases, but he declared that
there were persons with large amounts
OF money to lend who preferred the
gold guarantee to a few thousand dol
lars additional interest in ordinary cur
rency.
Other Wall street men spoken to
were unwilling to credit the statement
that loans had been made at AZ and
per cent. They said that the money
would be snapped up at once and lent
out in five minutes at per cent. 9th

were private affairs, and gave no indi-
