The prediction of Mr.. Shuckers,
in 1875, j. now being fulfilled in
Kansas, and will surely be fulfilled
throughout the country in the near
future. He said:
confidently predict that persist
ence toward resumption will effect "a
greater revolution in parties than
grew out of the slavery question {;
and that party, Democratic or Re-
publican, or any other, whatever it's
name, which forces a resumption Of
specie payments prior to the prac-
tical extinction of the national debt,
whether that be in ten years or
thirty, will be trampled to death un-
der the feet of the people. Let the
future political history of the coun-
be witness as to this.

Now it appears that new party
has arisen in Kansas, and both the
old parties "who favored specie pay
ments" are being "trampled TO death
under the feet of the people"
A great many people at the late
election were so afraid that they
could not get what they wanted if
they voted for it that they went to

did not want, and got it. Queer

AGE AND POVERTY.
The Maynards Will Care
for Their Parents.
They Deny the Reports That Have
Been Circulated With Respect to
Their Father and Mother.

The rumors that have come over from
Oakland with regard TO the destitute condi-
ton of Mr.. and Mrs Henry Winchcomb,
an aged couple, both being over 10 years OF
age. have excited the interest and solleitnde
of many San Francscans.
1t is said the pair are living in two small
rooms at 1902 Atlantic street in abject pow
erty. Mrs. Winchcomb is troubled with a
cancer. which has been growing for years,
and now threatens her life.
A day or two ago the couple made appli-
cation to the Oakland Board of Supervisors
for assistance. and were ably championed
by Mayor Chapman.
Attorney General Hart mas interested
himself in the case, and has been of material
assistance to the aged pair in expediting
matters in chancery suit Of theirs now
pending in London for large English es-
tate.
1t was also discovered that Mr.. and Mrs
Winchcomb are the parents of Harry John
and Tom Maynard, saloon keepers in San
Francisco.
When this was found ont the District At
tcrney was consulted as to whether the sons
could be compelled by law to care for their
aged parents, and letter was dispatched to
them calling their attention to Mr. and
Mrs. Wlnchcemb's condition.
When seen by CALL reporter yesterday
Tom Maynard was at his saloon at Pacific
aud Montgomery streets. He denied the re-
ports and said that his parents We're not so
destitute as had been declared. The sons
were perfectly willing TO support them and
always had done so.
John Maynard was also seen at 4261s
Broadway. He said: MY parents have
always received money from me ever since

They were both here only few weeks

One day in the shack where he took his
meals two ill-tempered miners from over
the mountain appeared and sat down at the
slab table With him. He didn't know them,
but nodded to them pleasantly and asked
question or two IN accordance with the
mountain custom, then relapsed into silence.
The men were evidently not friends and in
a few minutes began cursing each other.
This was followed by plate hurled across
the table; next went a molasses can and
meat dish and few knives and forks. Jim

MORE LOOPHOLES.
Fatal Omission of Court
Officials.
A RECORD WAS NOT MADE.
G. B, Darwin Discovers Point That
Will Permit Nathaniel Greene
to Go Free.
A RECORD WAS NOT MADE.

Another loephole has been found in the
already well-punctured laws which are SUD-
posed to get an offender in State prison
once in a while.
This particular one favors Nathaniel
Greene, who was charged with embezzling a
large sum of money from Farnsworth e.
Ruggles while he was engaged as book
keeper for that firm.
When Greene suspicioned that the firm
was aware of his shortage he incontinently
fed.
He was lnred to prison On the promise
that his shortcomings would be forgiven if
he would straghten cut the firms books
and turn over all his property.
The latter part of the programme he
claimed he could not fulfill as he had moth
ing left.
So Greene went to prison and sixteen
charges of ENLIGHTENMENT were preferred
against him. Inside of two years after these
events Greene was hauled up for trial. The
case was given to the jury. The latter were
out SIX hours and not coming to any agree
ment they were hastily discharged. In
making UP the record Of the case the clerk
in Judge Murphy's court. in which Greene
was tried, made fatal omission. He
neglected TO assign reason for the dis
charge Of the jury.
Inc Ge1endant dd not agree to IL, and
Judge Murphy at the time was so badgered
with other trials that he neglected TO give
his reasons for it. All this was all con-
trary to section 1140 of the Penal Code.
Greene then retained ex-Judge c. b. OAR
win TO defend him on his second trial,
Attorney Darwin protested that Greene
could not be held, as the record showed
that the Jury had been discharged without
the defendants consent or without the
Judge giving any reasons, hence IL must be
accepted as an acQuittal.
Judge Murphy ruled otherwise, and on
the second trial Greene was convicted and
sentenced to five years Imprisonment.
Greene has been two weeks at San Quen.
tin. Tomorrow Darwin will file his appeal
in the case.
He has $50 authorities to back him up in
his position that in summariiy dismissing
the jury Judge Murphy virtually acquitted
his client.
1t is probable that Greene will walk forth
from duranee vile free man in less than
three months. The fifteen other charges of
embezZement against him are so inIermin-
ably woven into the charge upon which lie
was tried that they will naturally fall to
pieces.

Direct Legislation.

The Initiative" or plan of voting on
legislation direct by the people has done
much to advance the problem of honest
opular government in Switzerland In the
United States the necessity for the people
taking back into their own hands the
power TO so legislate wherei n their
opinion the occasion demands has long been
felt, but until the system was thoroughly
tested in the Swiss republic the initiative
was not agitated. In adopting the constitu-
ton Of the United States and that of the
various States the people surrendered to
Congress and the Legislatures the power to
enact or abTogate laws. An amendment
to the State constitution has been prepared
by the legislative committee of the Peoples
party demanding the reference to the cleo
tors of any proposed law receiving the in
dorsemeDt by petition of per cent of the
members Of both branches of the Legisla-
ture.
a mass-meeting is called for this evening
at Metropolitan Temple in advocacy Of the
initiative.
