SO disgusted with the profigate way in
which the interests of the people have
been sacrificed that they have made up
their minds to vote the Democratic

SILVER stands in a far better conditio,

SILVER stands in far better condition
now before the commercial nations than
it has for years. There is decided ad.
vance of sentiment in Europe and else
where in favor of rescuing the white
metal from the depression to which in
terested prejudice has brought it, and
the international monetary conference
to meet at Brussels next month may as
tonish the nations by developing much
more decided interest in the rehabilita
ton OF silver than was expected. 1t is
possible that the feeling may be 80
strong that the adverse influence of
Great Britain and Germany may be i'm
potent to overcome it. Bimetaliem is
decidedly winning over to it's side many
of the most distinguished of it's oppo-
nents. The last of the Henry Clewa
weekly circulars says on this subject:
eve look forward to the early awak-
ening, in the financial markets, of in
creased interest in the international sil-
yer conference. We recently noted GER
tain symptoms of disposition in high
places in Europe to defeat the assemb-
ling of the conference. 1t now begins
to appear that. if such a desire has ex.
listed, it arose from fears of the confer
ence awakening storm which the gold
standard nations might find it difficult
to control or allay. Large interests in
and on the continent are be.
coming deeply aroused by the question
as profoundly affecting commercial en-
terprise, while India is speaking in tones
too earnest to be disregarded. 1t is
likely, therefore, that the discussions of
the conference may develop into severe
struggle, in which very radical proposals
may be forthcoming. From such au-
thentic incidental information as reaches
US, we should not be surprised if the

THE COAST RAILROAD.

There is now no doubt that the coast
route OF the Southern Pacific railroad
will be finished as quickly as possible.
Mr.. Huntington has announced that the
right of way has all been procured by
the committee OF citizens who under
took to get it, and that his company will
enter energetically upon the work of
building the gap between Elwood, in
Santa Barbara county, and Santa Mar
garita, in San Luis Obispo.
There are two formidable obstacles to
be overcome in building this road. One
is to tunnel the great mountain back of
San Luis, and the other is to get from
Elwood to the Santa Yrez valley. The
preliminary work on the great tunnel
has been quietly under way for some
time. To pierce this great mountain
will necessarily take time. The work is
not only difficult, but from its nature it
can only be carried on with limited
force. Yet the modern railroad builder
tunnels mountain range in space OF
time that would appear impossible to
Clfl CSOiO VA ySoiS
ago. We doubt whether the tunnel at San
Luis will present greater difficulties than
did that at San Fernando eighteen years
since. Yet that tunnel was completed
in less than two years from the time the
fret drill was driven intoit. How much
more expeditiously work of this nature
can be done now than at that time may
be realized when we come to consider
the new devices that have been applied
to boring in the solid rock since. The
hydraulic drill alone is wonderful ex-
pediter Of such work.
We doubt whether more than year
and half will be required to complete
the San Luis tunnel, and in the mean
time the railroad will be built and in
running order on both sides of the
mountain. Formidable as the work of
getting from Elwood to Santa Ynez
would have appeared twenty years ago,
we are assured by railroad men that all
the difficulties to be encountered in that
section can now easily be overcome.
The road, after making the grade of
GaYiota, will probably proceed through
Cuesta Pass into the Lompoc valley.
From that on to San Luis it is all plain
sailing.
When this route is completed and
trains are run through on it, it viii be-
come the popular passenger route to
San Francisco. For nearly two hundred
miles it will skirt the ocean, and the
broad swells of the Pacific will be visi-
BILE from the cars for longer distance.
The scenery along the road is go charm
ing that fasteners, especially, will find
it constant source OF delight. Indeed,
there is no lack of grand and majestic
views, and the trains will be constantly
traversing country that is rich in
olive groves, vineyards and agriculture
of all kinds. Beautiful stretches OF
country that have heretofore been iso-
lated will be brought into conspicuous
notice by this new line of railroad.

We HAVE received the most encour-
aging word from all parts OF the country
in relation to the outlook for the Demo-
cratic county ticket. The people who
pay the taxes are aroused, and are
determined that regime which has
conducted the affairs of the county in
the most lavish and extravagant man
ner shall not be permitted to continue
to waste the public substance. They
want a new deal in the courthouse, and
are determined to have it. They do not
believe in county officers giving out con.
tracts for enormous jobs without
bids they are opposed to officers
who, instead of studying how to
benefit the people and economize the

He Had Deceived Him Once,


Charles T. Davis has letter in the
Chicago Herald which digs up bit of
history that may account for Peck's
performances. He says:
In the matter of Charles F. Peck,
labor commissioner of the state of New
York, who is now under indictment for
the destruction OF public records, there
are some facts which should be pub
lisbed. On May A, 1883, Mr.. Peck was
appointed labor commissioner of the
state of New York by Grover Cleveland,
who was then the governor. When Mr..
Cleveland was elected president of the
United States Mr.. Peck applied for the
position of special agent of the United
States bureau of labor, desiring to be
sent to Great Britain to investigate
the condition of the working people,
their hours of labor, their wages
and other matters pertaining to the in
dustrial interests of Great Britain, in
Guiding the cost of manufacturing var
ious staple products OF that country,
euch as iron and steel, cotton and wooden
goods, etc. In talking with Mr.. Ceve-
land concerning Mr.. Peck's application
for the position, Mr.. Cleveland said to
me: "Mr. Peck has already deceived
me, and have lost all confidence in
him, and could under no circumstances
place any reliance in any report that he
might make in any investigation con-
Quoted in either the United States or
Europe, and I, therefore. do not desire
that Mr.. Peck should receive the ap-
pointment which he seeks" This check
to the qualification of the ambitions of
Mr.. Peck has made him very bitter
toward Mr.. Cleveland, and he has lost
no opportunity to injure Mr.. Cleveland
publicly and privately since that time.

The work to be done is the construction
OF q conduit in the grounds of the court
house, to contain, presumably, water, gas
and other pipes. The contractor who
has built the wall around the court
hous grounds was quietly awarded the
contract. There was no opportunity
given to ascertain if the work could not

$4,000 or over which it will cost. This
method of doing business cannot be ex-
cused or explained. 1t may possibly be
within the law, technically, but it is in
direct violation Of the spirit of good To-
cal government. Taxpayers should re-
member all such little incidents, and
should bear in mind that vote for the
Republican county ticket on election
day will mean vote for the keeping in

Thackeray's Facial Appearance.

In lS49 or 1850 Charlotte Bronte wrote of
Thackeray: ITO me the broad brow Sc Ems
to express intellect. Certain lines about
the nose and cheek betray the satirist and
the cynic; the mouth indicates child ike
implicity-perhaps even degree of irreso-
luteness in consistency-weakness in ort,
but a weakness not unamiable." And Mr.
Motley, writing to his wife in 1858, said:
Il believe you have never seen Thackeray.
He has the appearance of colossal infant,
smooth, white. shining, ringlety hair,
faxen. alasl with advancing years; a
roundish face with little dab of a nose.
upon which it is perpetual wonder how
he keeps his spectacles."
This broken nose was always a source Of
amusement to Thackeray himself; he Carl
catured it in his drawings, he frequently
alluded to it in his speech and in his let
tiers, and he was fond of repeating Douglas
Jerrold's remark to him when he was to
stand godfather to a friends son,

AMATEURS IN BUSINESS.
Selling Photographs to Pay the Expenses
of Their Hobby.

Many photographers who started q am
ateurs in the fascinating pursuit of iking
pictures find themselves forced into doing
a little professional work in order 10 pay
the expenses of their alIuring hobby.
'One of the newest ways of these gentle
men," said Harlem woman to reporter
the other day, ito persuade people, " omen
especially, to order photographs, is being
practiced pretty successfully among the
fat house population.
You know many a woman whose wants
far outnumber her dollars would Ike to
have her childnn's pictures taken to send
TO her friends, but she cannot spare the
time to get the children and herself all
dressed and then go with them; nor can
she well afford the car fare, to say nothing
of the charges which must be made by a
photographer who pays Office rent. Some
washday morning, when she is up to her
elbows in soapsuds, she answers knock
at the door, and is good deal surprised to
find man there who holds before her eyes
pretty photograph of her own little ones.
"'Where did you get that?" she asks.
"' saw these pretty children answers

Now if there is any time when children
look well, babies especially, it is just after
they have|been fed and washed and dressed
and sent out for walk or play. An hour
afterward they look like different children.
Now it's an exceptional woman who can
resist the temptation of ordering a few
pictures when she sees her favorite Johnny
with his pretty curls looking extremely
natural and smiling at her with eyes so
like his fathers 1t is the nature of chill
dren to behave at their worst when a
mother wants to show them off, and when
nobody expects anything of them to act
and look their prettiest.
"And now there they sit before their de
lighted mother, well taken, without any
trouble to her. and if she has dollar any

get it. Indeed, sir, think he was cute

amuse himself"
