this legislation? The law of 1873 every
democratic orator in this state has de.
nOunced on the stump as the mOnumen.
tai fraud Of the nineteenth century.
This is the issue prepared for US by the
gold standard party. They boast that
the Sherman law was enacted TO prevent
free coinage. / am opposed to assisting
in the accomplishment Of this purpose
by repeating it and stopping at that point.
The democratic platform did not stop
there. 1t demanded not only the repeal
OF the Sherman law, but something
more, to-wit: the free coinage of silver.
The imperious demand now comes from
the party Of Wall street that we keep
our pledges as to repeating the Sherman
law, but break faith with the people on
the free coinage promises. We are in
vited to give New York all it asks, but
to leave Missouri on the anxious seat"
We are Coolly asked to repeal the Sher-
man law and put our people of with a
vague resolve that at some future con-
venient time we will attend to bi.mstal-
lism. This 10 the trap / do not intend to
be caught in. The bill that repeRls the
Sherman law must also embrace the
principles of the other part Of our
platform; that is, the restoration of sill
YER as the co-equsl of gold in our mone-
tsry system. This must be done by leg
islRtivs enactment, not mere empty re-
solve.
In conclusion, / wish to thank the Re
public for calling my attention to a SEEM
ing doubt in my letter and for this occa-
sion Of making myself more explicit,

(From the st. Louis Republic.)
LEBANON, Mo-, June 25.-The follow.
ing in the editorial columns Of the Re-
public Of yesterday, oath inst, calls for q
reply:
Mr.. BANDS letter in the Republic Mon
day is notice that when congress meets
there will be fight against complete
surrender to the monometRllists. Mr..
Bland may make a mistake, however, il
he plants his flagstaff on the untenable
ground Of the Sherman bullion act. That
law is not bi-metRllism, but republican
political trick. Mr.. Bland does not un-
dertake to uphold il on principle, and as
a leader to whom large body Of voters
look hopefully, he should be- careful how
far he seems to commit himself to an sp-
proVal Of it's provisions. A leader on the
bi-metsllic side cannot afford to get
tangled up with specious prstense.
/ Iregret my letter left in doubt my posi-
tion on the silver question as now pre-
sented. The Sherman bill met with my
determined opposition when it was be-
fore congress. 1t did not receive q single
democratic vote in either house OF con-
gress. l do not now defend it per SO. I
sought to repeal the Sherman law at the
first session OF the last congress by bill
substituting free coinage law. / pro.
pose to continue the fighting on that line
The repeal Of the Sherman law is not to
my mind the issue now presented. The is
sue made by the gold party is, shall we
totally demonetizs silver by the repeal Of
the only law we have looking to the fu.
ture use Of silver as money In this coun-
tryP In other words, shall we return to
the demonetizing policy Of the Sherman
act Of 1873? Shall we rstify and condone

'' NOBODY ASKED YOU, SIR, SHE

The Secretary of Agriculture Makes Him
self Ridiculous, and Reminds One of a
BrOksn-DOwn English AristOCrat Who
Sued in Vain for the Hand of a Fair
American Maiden.
EDITOR ADvoCATE:-I notice by the
New York World that the erstwhile rail
road attorney Of Nebraska, who now fills
the seat Of secretary Of agriculture, and
who was doubtless appointed to this
position by Shylock's slave because he
was the "only leading democrat OF Ne
brasks" who could be depended upon to
further the "usurer'S conspiracy" has
appeared in the role of parrot, and de-
clsres that the Peoples party is disin-
tegrsting. This distinguished (?) man,
who before his nomination was noted for
only two things-he was q leading rail-
road lawyer, and was the sworn enemy
Of silVer-hss recently had himself inter
viewed, presumably in the hope OF
checking the stampede Of democrats
from the party which has betrayed them
INTO the hands of Wall street. And in
addition to re-echoing what every coun-
try editor in the republican and demo-
cratic party continually declared for
months before the last election, our
eminent ~ agricultural expert declared
the democratic party could have no ALI
snce with the Populists. Well, in the
name Of all that is just and good, who
desires such a union except the demoral-
lied democratsp
The eminent gentleman reminds me Of
the story Of the broken-down and dis
carded scion OF q titled house OF Eng
land who sued and sought a beautiful
young American heiress. The lady sized
him up. He was old, decrepit, diseased;
the fires Of dissipation burned in his in
famed eyes. His face told the story Of
his past life. He was a moral, mental
and physical wreck with nothing but his
title. The maiden gazed upon him
pitylngly for q few moments, and then
slowly but firmly replied: "No; the sac
ritice would be altogether too great; !
will never entertain the thought Of
marrying you" Whereupon the old
rOue went forth and boisterously declared
to his friends that the rumor which had
been set afost, that he would condescend
to wed an untitled American, was Rb-
surd. He Indignantly repudistsd all
thought Of such a thing. Thus, Mr.. j,

THE MILITARY FEVER.
Many Towns That Desire to Hav,
Military Companies.

Many Towns That Desire to Have
Military Companies.
Californians must be a warlike people
in times of peace-judging from the de-
mand which comes from towns all over
the State for the location in each OF one of
the five companies of the National Guard
provided for by the last Legislature.
There must be already more than dozen
places, each claiming that it is the best
spot in which to locate one of the new
companies, and General Allen is besieged
by the friends OF the various localities.
The last place heard from IS the lovely
town of Auburn, nestled among the foot
hills of Placer. Messrs. futile and Keni-
son were in the city yesterday with an
application containing some ninety sig
natures for one of the companies.
Auburn can without doubt maintain a
first-class organization, and if the Fourth
Brigade should be given two out of the
five, which it is entitled to, there will be
a fight between Grass Valley and Au-
burn for the second, as Vallejo will get
the first one.

IN directing the police to preserve the
peace during the late flower festival at
Santa Barbara, the Mayor of that city
warned them against "moll-buzzers" and
"gopher-blowers." They must have a
genus of outlaws in the Santa Barbara
section unknown in this northern citrus
belt. Will his honor, the Mayor, rise

gopher blower," SO that when the I'M
sophisticated citizens of the Sacramento
Valley visit the floral city of Southern

A BATTERED BATTALION.
Convention of Tramps Interrupted
Banishment or Jail.

Convention of Tramps Interrupted
Punishment or Jail.
In the Police Court yesterday fourteen
tramps and idlers were arraigned on the
charge of being Migrants.
The men were arrested by the officers
in the vicinity of Front and NJ streets,
where they seemed to have been holding
some sort of a convention, at which the
principal order of business was the dis
position of beer.
Whether or not the fraternity elected
officers and formulated a policy for the
year is not known, but their proceedings
were interrupted by the police and they
were thrown into jail over night. They
were found guilty and sentenced to fifty
days in the County Jail, with commit
ments suspended for twenty-four hours
to permit them to leave the city.
o. A. Lovdal, arrested upon charge OF
battery, was discharged.

In asking the original delegates to the
International Monetary Conference to
serve in the approaching session, Presi-
dent Cleveland acted wisely. They can
serve the country to greatly better pur-
pose than could new men. The proba-
bility is that the President has very little
faith in the conference anyhow, and
expects small results from it, and at
least is convinced than those who met
with the body last year are best qualified
to serve this.
