FICTITIOUS MONEY.

1t is said that the Government is

would have been the bullion left
But when rag baby" money goes up
in flames the loss is total. Senator
Jones recently declared in the Senate
that the only place in the country
where coin was exclusively in circula-
ton was in the extreme West, and he
offered to wager small sum that not
Il Senator on the floor could produce
a single gold coin from his pocket.
Considering the fact that the Senate
is represented more by money than
by brains, this offer of Senator Jones
was a startler. And the Senate is SO
Inflicted with gold-bug procilivities
that the mention of silver as coin in
that body would give Senator Sher-
man and his financial intimates an at
tack of vertigo, to say the least. But,
had the wager of Senator Jones been
taken, he would have been the win
Der. Not a Senator present could
produce the vestige of a gold coin.
This corroborates the truth of the
editorial item in Saturdays Chronicle
about the tourist from this city to the
East and that the only gold coin he
saw during his pilgrimage was what
he paid out. So there is no gold in
circulation in the East. All that

A Wonderful Machine;

There is no doubt that man is fine
mechanism. but like every other ma
chine he wears out by friction. 1t is
said that he is born again every two or
three years. His body is virtually re-
made from food. To retard this making
over is radically wrong, as man loses
SO much vitality in the delayed process
that it takes long time to recuperate.
The process of making anew is so accele-
rated by purging with Brandreth's Pills,
that new man, as it were. may be made
in two or three months, and the change
in the mechanism is such that the worn
out part is replaced by the new without
the usual running down of the entire
machine. You don't have to sto p for
repairs. Purge away with Brandreth's
Pills the old, diseased. worn-out body.
They are purely vegetable. absolutely
harmless, and safe to take at any time.

CALIFORNIA FRUIT.
4 Very Coed Demand in the East
Caused by Light Crops.

NEW YORK. Aug 12.-All the fruit
merchants in this city were talking to-day
about the high prices of fruit. Nothing
like it has been seen here in % years, and
all with one accord attributed it TO the
failure of the peach crop in Delawars and
Maryland A. f. Young, one of the
heaviest dealers In peaches, says: There
are not in all Delaware and Maryland over
100000 baskets of peaches this year. aad
that will be consumed at home. This
market has absorbed as much as 200 ear
loads of Delaware and Mary land peaches In
single Gay, but we are not getting car
load n day this year. The eight or nine
carloads IF jersey prematuTes coming in
consist of small. inferior fruit. but the
fruit is bringing good prices. 81 IS and 81 a
basket. In the height of the season, 10
days hence, there won't be over 30 carloads
OF Jerseys gay. Last year i handled
100000 baskets from Delaware, but this year
l will not handle over 1900"
The blight in The Eastern orchards is a
fortunate thing for the growers on the Pa
profits just now. Within the past two
weeks" said f. L. G0odselI, an auetioneer,
there have been sold ia this city over
5000 coo pounds of California fruits which
is UNPRECEDENTED. There use1 TO be a
struggle for the supremacy between this
city and Chicago for tie best market for
this fruit. Chicago is 90 hours nearer the
orchards than we are. and for years left US
lar behind, consuming ten times as much
California fruit as we did. But now Chi
cago is nowhere in the race. We eat more
California fruit and pay better prices for it
than Chicago. The arrivals of California
fruit this week have been 81 cars, of which
l have Sold % Tor an aggregate sum of
$4,000. We are pouring a stream of geld
into the lap of California aud we cannot
help ourselves, because we have nowhere
else to 90 for fruit"

TO HELP OUT THE CLIPPERS.
An Important Meeting of the
Traffic People.
Manager Leeds Does Little Figuring to Show
the Vast Saving Of Money to the
Merchants.

Joseph Leeds, the manager Of the Cali
fornia Traffic Association, is not much of
taiker, but when 1t comes to getting down
to real hard work he is hustler. And
then he has an easy way of going about
things which attracts very little attention,
but accomplishes startling results. When
he came to San Francisco he had mag
niflcent record as traffic manager, but the
brilliant gentlemen who do business for
NJ. Huntington smiled sarcastieally and
said that Mr.. Leeds was a nice man and all
that sort OF thing, but that he was a back
number when 1t came to dealing with trans
portation problems. Leeds paid no atten-
ton and sailed In to do the best he could.
Now the Southern Pacific people are begin
ming TO see their mistake and are sauirming
under the lash. The latest move has hurt
them badly.
There was an important meeting" at the
rooms of the Traffic Association Yesterday
morning, called for the purpose of arrang-
ing with the elipper-ship owners for the
maintenance for year of the present west
bound rates. The actual plans nave not yet
been dlvulged, but Mr.. Leeds states posi-
lively that the clippers will go on as at
present Tor year at least.
The Importance of this was pointed out
by Mr. Leeds, who was inclined to be q lit
Tie more communicative than usual.
LEEDS FIGURES 1T OUT
understand" said he, while do not
desire to belitte the clipppr-ship scheme, |
DO not, at the same time, consider it a big
thing. 1t is merely an incident in the gem
eral fight We are making for cheaper rates
1t is sale to say that the average price paid
Tor freight westbound has been S11 per ton.
The clipper ships are charging Sc. This is
a saving to the shipper Of S. ton. Now
the indications are that the ships will carry
this way in the next year So 600 tons of
competitive freight, which will represent
saving of 100000. Now, if the railroad
concludes to make cut as WELL it is easy
10 see where the figures will go. The thing
IS interesting TO figure out and is an evil
dence OF the amount which has been taken
from the people for freight charges. There
Is no money TO be made at So by the ships,
but at SIS a ton they can do well and then
save the merchants a quarter of million a
year"
The general plan, it is understood, is to
raise sum Of about $4,000 to guarantee
the shp-Owners from loss. and this has
been arranged for. 1t Will enable the ships
TO keep going and will force the railroad, so
merchants say, TO come down with their
prices. Then the saving will be not in the
hundreds OF thousands but in the millions.
1t IS Tumored that the Board of Trade,
acting In sympathy with the Traffic ASS0ci-
alton, Will indorSe the competing clipper
lines. No verfcatiOn of this has yet been
made, but from present Indications it is
likely to occur and will have great weight
In determining the result of the fight.

THE NEWsBOYS' UNION.
"A Tremendous Racket In the Bijot
Theater and n Deadlock.

A Tremendous Racket In the Bijou
Theater and Deadlock.
The effort to organize Newsboys' Union
at the Bijou Theater last evening met with
a temporary reverse because OF the hilari-
GUS uproar raised by the hundred and odd
Juveniles In attendance. They shouted and
whistled, stamped their feet. blew whistles
and guyed one another so riotously, that 1t
seemed impossible to obtain order for any
consecutive 80 seconds. One big newsboy
tried to assist the temporary chairman to
restore order by pounding a table with a
barrel stave. This started several other
gamins on the same lay and the clatter was
ear-spiitting. As soon as one boy would
rise to speak dozen of his companions
wonld roar Come off the perch" ''Shut
your mouth" etc.
G. 5. Stokes, young man with slight
blonde mustache, who said he Deddled only
weekly papers and did not, therefore com.
pete with the retailers of extras, succeeded
IN making himself heard during 10-minute
speech, in which he set forth the advantages
OF labor organization. The boys cheered
him often. and threw up their little hats
and kept up a terrible din when he closed.
An effort to organize by the election of
president resulted In a row between the two
nominees, Barnard and Mccain. Barnard
insisted that he had been the leader of the
late strike. but Mccain said he was the
leader The two engaged in wordy con-
test. while the boys hooted and yelled loud
enough to nearly shatter the window glass.
The two factions were about evenly divided,
but 1t was impossible to restore peace so as to
reach a decision. Finally il was announced
that the union would organize at the
Market-sireet ferry tomorrow afternoon
at o'clock. whereupOn the tunIult subsidized
and the youngsters made break for the

PORTLAND, Or, Aug. 12.-General James
3. Weaver, the Peoples plrty nominee for
Pres dent, arrived here from San Francisco
this morning. He will formally open the
pres dental campaign in the State this
afternoon.
Weaver is accompanied by a small party.
consisting of his wife, Mrs. Lease. Y. o.
S'rckler and c. Q. Stricken, representing
the National Committee. The general upon
bis arrival held a conference with the Ore
con leaders. who informed him that Oregon
would send PEOPLES party men to the cleo
toTai college without doubt.
In an interview the general said he was
sure OF election. A wonderful change had
taken place In the past two weeks in the
political situation. BY virtue of this change
the Republican party had been eliminated
from tie race, and the battle lies between
the Peoples party and the Demo Gratis, and
the former has every advantage. The
Peoples party will carry the solid South
and tie entire West In 1890 the Republic
ans lost nine States which they cannot re-
gain.
The general further said 1--WE have
been asked TO divide our electors with the
Democrats. but have refused, as we are in
this campaign TO win"
Inis afternoon General Weaver and Mrs
Lease addressed about 1000 people at the
plaza. Tonight another open-air meeting
was held at the plaza, at which General
weaver, Mrs. Lease and others made ad-
dresses. The party will remain in the city
iii tomorrow, when they go to Tacoma
