THAT
RS WORTH.

Ifa Dozen Goose Eggs Were Legal Ten
der for "A Dollar They Would At All
Times BE Worth Dollar.
The Louisville Courier-.IOurnal con-
tends that it is the market and not the
law that gives to gold its price, or
value, and as an argument in support
of its contention says that if YOU melt
the gold in gold dollar it will yet be
worth dollar in its mercantile form.
What gibbering idiots these goldolo-
tors are. OF course the metal would be
worth Il dollar, because if presented at
the mint the law would coin it into Il
legal tender dollar. \ bushel Of peSA-
toes or a dozen goose eggs would al-
ways be worth dollar under the same
conditions and circumstances.
The annual production of gold ap-
proXimates five millions of ounces of
which about three and a half million
ounces are used in the arts. Suppose
the nations of the earth should treat
gold as they have treated silver, what
does Mr. Watterson imagine 23.22
grains of pure gold would be worth in
the markets of the world?
1t is estimated that the worlds stock
of gold aggregates the sum total of
about two hundred millions of ounces.
including the Asian boards. Suppose
Mr.. Watterson could cause to be melted
up this entire worlds stock of gold
and could procure the repeal of all gold
coinage laws, what does he suppose
gold bullion would then be worth in
the markets of the world? Mr.. Waiter
sons Judgment is warped by blind be-
lief in the metallic delusion.

THE WORK ACCOMPLISHED.
What is Being Done to Awaken the Ma
tional Conscience.

The People" of Milton, Pa, in
speaking of the work accomplished by
the Prohibition party, says
For the time being the work of the
party is agitation and education, and its
service in these lines has been invalu
able to the country and will continue
to increase in Importance and influence
with increasing numbers and means.
The actual vote of the party at the last
presidential election was probably not
less than three hundred and fifty thou
sand, but this visible evidence of its
strength does not represent tithe of
the real work accomplished. 1t has
forced the issue to the front and kept il
there in spite of the opposition of the
open enemy and the treachcry of pre-
tended friends BY its courage and con
compelled recognition and commanded
respect The thousands of addresses
by its speakers and the millions of pages
of literature by its press have awakened
interest and concern in the minds of
many, that must soon bear fruit in ac-
tive cooperation. Men are not yet
quite ready to forsake their false gods.
but largely as a result of the work of
the Prohibition party, there is Il wide
spread and increasing belief that pro-
hibition is essential to the preservation
of our institutions, and when the re-
turning tide shall fully set in, it will
come with the irresistible force of
tornado, sweeping every thing before it

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than Others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
It's excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation;
It hes given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

One Resulted From the Unlawful Burn
ing of Rubbish at Night.
Sacramento yesterday morning about 8
o'clock had an escape from conflagration
during the high north wind that may fur
nish food for reflection by those who vio-
late the ordinance against burning rub
bish in the afternoon and night, and if
the lesson is needed may stir up the
police to make arrests of those violating
the ordinance.
The fire resulted from sparks from a
rubbish fire which was burning that
night and which lodged in pile OF lum-
Der from old awnings, which belonged to
John McGillivray, at Twenty-tourth
street, between + and q. While the dam
age to the lumber was small. serious
contlagration was imminent, the fire being
carried by the wind fifty or hundred
feet and setting fire to the dry grass in a
number of places and keeping the fire
department so busy for some time in saw
ing other property that they had to leave
the lumber pile burning meanwhile.
The alarm of fire last night was caused
by the burning out of a chimney in the
house occupied by i. Silva ON Fourth

NJ. Cronan's objection to ID. j. Consi-
dine's Idea of Homestead.
Some time ago D. j. Considine, the
well-known regular Democratic poll
tician and saloon proprietor, filed petit
ton in insolvency, and the receiver, after
paying the costs of The proceeding, had s.
left to divide among the creditors.
Among the property alleged to be ex-
empt from execution was "a" homestead
but Considine is not to be allowed to save
all Of the homestead without struggle
NJ. Cronan, one of the creditors, by his
attorneys, Albert NJ. Johnson and @. O..
Davis, has filed the papers in contest
over the homestead proposition, alleging
that the property claimed as a homestead
is of the value Of S.. 900, and that the land
sought to be set apart as homestead con-
sists of several different parcels in differ
ent localities.
Mr.. Cronan asks that the dwelling
house and the parcel of land upon which
it is situated be set apart as homestead,
and no more.

he would not be able to go on with the

necessary for him to preside in his own
