WHEN the government undertakes to extend financial aid to it's citizens it has no right to show any partial ity between individuals or classes. and therefore it's task will never have been fully performed until it has lent 6 helping hand to every man. from the millionaire 10 the beg ger. and each shall have received an equal share of the benefits it shall confer. This would be the logical result of the paternal form of gov ernment inaugurated by the repnb- Iican party. and endorsed and adopt ed bg the sub-treasuryites and the peoples party. Lying at the very fountain of this government is the desire Of individuals and classes to secure for themselves advantages in legislation not enjoyed by other in- diyiduals CT other classes. Hence, the powerful corporations, combines and trusts. as a rule. give adherence to the republican party, which in augurated this form of government. And these interests nc doubt rejoice in the acquisition to their ranks of the sub-treasury element of the farming population, heretofore pro fessedlv the deadliest enemies of special and class legislation, but now imploring aid from the govern ment. The democratic party now holds and has ever held that the gov ernment was instituted to give the citizen freedom in the enjoyment of life, liberty and property, and not to help him on or hold him back in his struggle to acquire a competency. The citizen is 70 support the gov ernment and not the government the citizen. The government cannot be stow on citizen what 1t does not possess itself. and it has no money or property except sneh as may have been collected under the forms Of law from the citizen Ifthat is to be returned 10 him in its original form. instead of in services in exc  eution of it's pledge to protrect his life, liberty and property, what folly to collect it in the first instance and subject 1t to the depicting process of distribution by which he gets less in the end. Theevils resulting from the peryersion Of the functions of government building up class in terests by the enactment Of protect i've tariff and subsidy legislation, however great they may be, cannot be remedied by the enactment of a law for the benefit of another class, even though that class should em- brace a large majority of the cit izenship of the country. At best it wOuld be but the extension of the same principle, and therefore an ag grayation of the evil sought to be remedied. The energies of the peo pie should rather be directed to the repeal of all class legislation now on the statutes, as the speediest and surest means of relief from 0ppress ion of any interest. In this way government would be confined to its legitimate and proper sphere of ac- tion, and each citizen be left free to exercise the gifts with which nature has endowed him.

DANGEROUS COIN.
COunterfeiters Captured i'm
Stockton.
OPERATING BY WHOLESALE.
Bogus Gold Pieces Worked Off by the
Hundred-0nly Experts Would
Detect the Fraud.
OPERATING BY WHOLESALE
Special to THE MORNING. CALI.

STOCKTON, Dec. 22.-An important cap
ture of cUunterfeiters was made here this
afternoon by Deputy Sheriffs Benjamin ana
Cassidy, and a lot Of bogus s. pieces were
found In the pockets OF one of the prison.
eTs. Counterfeit So pieces were passed
here several days ago. and the officers have
been on the lookout for the men. To-day
the Sheriffs deputies, who were watching a
man named r. A. Maddux, saw him hand q
bogus piece to young man named J. A
Scott and they Immediately placed both
men under arrest. Maddux had in his
pockets $500 in counterfeit So pieces. and
the young man had one piece.
Part of Maddux's stuff was In a cloth
tobacco pouch. and the balance in an old
purse. He had only few pieces OF good
silver coin. Notice Of the arrest was wired
to Secret Service Officer Harris, and he will
arrive tonight.
Maddux was formerly a hotel keeper al
Upton. In Tulare County, and when he
came here last Monday he said he was SELL
ing patent churn. but the officers say he
was working off bogus money.
The counterfeit is not bad imitation of
good money. but is light ana has a poor
ring. The milling Is good. but the face of
the stuff looks off-color. The stuff would
readily pass in the hurry of business at the
holiday season.

REASON FOR HOPE.
Irving II. Scott Still Hard
at Work.
SECRETARY TRACY FRIENDLY.
A Strong Belief That One of the New
Warships Will Be Built in
San Francisco.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Irving ii. Scott
feels pretty confident tonight that Secre-
tary Tracy will award him the contract for
one of the new naval vessels. He was at
the Navy Department to-day, aud some of
the officers there offered TO wager that Scott
would get to build one of the vessels.
Charles Il. Cramp of Philadelphia is here.
Scott believes that Secretary Tracy sent for
him to tell him that the best interests Of the
navy demand that there be a more equal
division Of the work Of construction among
shipbuiders.
Mr.. Cramp said to THE CALL correspon-
dent tonight that Secretary Tracy could
not do otherwise than award him both con-
tracts as the lowest bidder in each case
1T is very unwiSe." said he, 'for Mr.
Scott to raise a rumDus about this matter.
for it viii have tendency to influence Con-
gress against making any more appropria-
tions. Mr.. Scott should submit gracefully
as / did when / was beaten so badly by
Roach some years ago."
'As compromise, don't You think it
would be good policy for you TO let the
Union Iron Works build one ship" Cramp
was asked.
ANY such negotiation might be regarded
with suspicion by the public at large and
by Congress-" be replied. Besides, Scott
has not made any such proposition. He
has hot adopted such cOnciliatory policy
'But would you entertain any such prop
osition from Mr. Scott?"
Dir. Cramp laughed and said, well, of
course 1t would not do for me to say any
thing like that at this time. / will see Mr..
Scott tomorrow and talk the situation over
with him.

A STORM is RAGING.
Trains Delayed by Snow i'm the
SiskiyOus.
The Temperature Down to Zero at
Spokane-Street-Cars Suspended
at Portland.
Special to THE MORNING CALI.

PORTLAND. Or, Dec. 22.-Not since the
winter Of 1884 has this city and vicinity ex-
perienced such a snowstorm as has pre-
vailed for two days past. Two feet of snow
has already fallen and at o'clock tonight
1t is still falling. Many lines of business
are suspended, as persons living In the sub
urbs are unable to reach the city, owing to
suspensions of traffic on electric and cable
ar lines. The Third-street electric line
made an effort to run cars to-day, but only
succeeded for a short time. All trains are
moving though much behind time. The
telegraph lines are down south OF Salem

section have been received through passen-
gers on the overland. Southern Pacific off,
Gals state that there is but little snow south
Of Roseburg.
Between Salem and Albany the storm was
very severe. and many telegraph-poles were
blown down. The snowfall along the Co.
lumbia River Is very heavy. though at no
point on the river has the temperature
fallen below IL degrees above zero. Along
the Union Pacific, between this city and The
Dalles, about three feet has fallen. though

able to run trains without serious delay. In
Eastern Oregon the snow is reported from
all points as far east as Huntington. varying
in depth from five to twenty inches. The
temperature Is slightly below freezing point.
Reports from Eastern Washington show a
fall OF snow from five to ten inches. In

TOO nANY MORTGAGES.
A Former Resident of San Francisco
in Serious Trouble

CINCINNATI, Dec. 22-Robert II. Kuehn-
ert came here several years ago from San
Francisco. where he had been teacher.
He taught while in the German schools
here aud then began to practice law. He
was once elected State Senator by the
Democrats Of Hamilton County, but the
whole delegation was ousted on the ground
of alleged election fraud. BE was defeated
a year ago as the Democratic candidate for
Judge Of the Common Plea Court. On the
day before yesterday, when he disappeared
from this city. he was the attorney for
twelve building associations. and it has been
shown that he was guilty OF drawing money
from three building associations to the aggre-
gate amount of $4,000. all on mortgages of
the same property, alleging in each case
that The mortgage was first mortgage.
There are other accusations of the same
character against him, but they are not so
well authenticated as the offenses against
the building associations.
