the big fires of 1851, 80 and SO. losing
heavily in all of them.
In 1856 Mr.. Stuart bought the Spanish
grant which is near the site of Petaluma,
and soon became involved in the long and
tedious litigation as 10 the validity of the
title, and this continued until 1870, result
ing in the grant being declared public
land.
In this contest Mr.. Stuart became very
familiar with the law OF titles, as Ii eff
fected the Spanish grant. and he opened
an office and began TO practice, giving his
whole attention to land matters, and for
twenty years he has continued in that line
OF work.
Few men In the State, outside OF poll
tics, were more widely known than was
Mr.. Stuart. In almost every case of DIS

was retained for the settlers. Whole town.
ships in San Luis Obispo and Santa Bar
bara counties are now filled with the homes
of settles, whose lands he excluded from
excessive surveys and Illegal enlargement
of the grants. The town of Stuart, in
Santa Barbara Count, was named in his
homer by the grateful residents of that
locality.
He was for ten years engaged 10 the con-
test over the Geysar property in Sonoma
County, finally being successful in de-
Tending the title. and also engaged in the
litigation connected with the CARPENTER
land, east of Oakland. Still more recently
he opposed the Government when 1t at
tackled the title TO the Muscupiobe grant,
in San BernardIno County, also known as
the Severance Pierce grant. on which the
new insane sylum is located, and the title
was defended against every assault that
was made upon il.
Mr. Stuart comes of a family which has
had other brilliant representatives. at the
bar. His brother. Gideon L. Stuart, is one
OF the leading lawyers OF Ohio and was
recently candidate for Governor of the
Buckeye State. He was also nephew of
Nicholas Hill Jr., well known in the
METROPOLIS, and the author of HIPS New
York Report.
MIR. Stuart was a member Of the Vigil
lance Committee during the tr0ublous
times which held sway in this city, and was
prominent among those who were labor
ing for better order and less Iawlessness in
San Francisco.
Along with John Slime and Ira P. Ran
KIN he assisted in the organization of the
First congregational Church of this city,
and for more than forty years he has been
member OF that congregation.

years. AID he had but one SON, William A.

The industrial councils Of Kansas City,

November II az follows:
attention was called to the fact that
after the civil war Kansas City found
itself stranded financially. It had no
credit abroad, and hence could borrow
no money. In that crisis in its affairs, it
issued scrip, which was accepted at par
by the merchants OF the city in payment
for dry goods, ready made clothing,
meats, groceries, and all other necessar-

THE PROSPERITY THAT WAS TO
FOLLOW REPEAL.

Dun's review of November IL is un-
able to make out the high degree of
prosperity that was promised would
follow the repeal Of the Sherman
law. 1t says:
Prices for wheat have declined this week.
-
The reported decrease in visible supply
(of corn) has not strengthened the market
as might have been expected.
Pork products at New York all declined
with lower prices at packing Centers. Live
hogs also lost q fraction, although the re-
oeipts did not exceed the estimates.
Failures for the past week 1913 against 3S6
last week.
When we come to think Of it, how
ever, the prosperity that was pre-
dicted was not promised to the pro-
ducers of wheat, corn and pork, nor
to the merchants and legitimate busi-
ness men of the county, but to the
gold gamblers and the holders Of
American securities, and they don't
tell how much they have realized
from the repeal.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-11-22

they will not loan a dollar in Kansas till
this Populist parGy is turned down.
Your duty is plain, il you want a re-
newal." This is about all that was said
but it generally had more effect upon
the voter than two hours speech by
the most forcible orator the world has
produced. The shark knew he lied, as
money could not be had in half Of the
states IN the union, because there was
no money. He knew that this state suf-
Rsred less from the financial panic than
many states where the Populist party ID
scarcely heard Of, but that did not
matter, he had got to do the bidding Of
his masters in the east, and he did it.
As evidence of this plan Of campaign
work, / quote here few lines from the
Capital Of the Sunday after the election,
which clearly proves that the aim OF the
republican managers was to bring about
just this state Of affairs to influence the
election:
For their sakes as we'll as for the welfare
Of Kansas our eastern creditors who have
been calling in their loans should call a halt.
y
Calamity is dead in Kansas. Now let the
scramble of eastern losners TO get their
money give place to an attitude more calm
and reasonable. The people Of Kansas are
the most American, perhaps, in the union.
Since when have the people Of Kansas
become the most American in the
union2 A week earlier they were an
srchists. Since the election, the Capital
expostulRtss with the money losners to
to be lenisnt with our people. Before
the election the Capital was Sticking"
them on. Shame on such disreputsble
methods. 1t has come to pass in this
nineteenth century that the money power
can dictate the election in glorious, free
Kansas. We are not soon to be slaves,
we are already slaves, and no man can
deny this fact and furnish proof that will
stand close scrutiny.
Was our state administration respon-
Bible for the light vote in Kansas? There
has been no money stolen or misappro-
priRted; no scandal attaches to any state
officer; the administration has been clear,
patriotic and economical; it has saved
the state several thousand dollars over
its republican predecessors, and the per-
SON who charges the results to any short
Comings of the administration, is not in
possession Of, nor can he produce the
facts to warrant such charges. It may
be true that some persons have been sp-
pointed to fill positions who were
not deserving or even popular, but that
can not be charged to lack OF diligence
and good motives upon the part Of the
executive. While they may not be
popular, they have so far as is known,
never committed a theft or neglected
their duty, and all such charges are
simply the vsporings Of q disgruntled
mind. JAMES. M. PADGETT.
