render on condition that he and his
followers should be guaranteed safety.
The second, received two hours later,

ended.

IT MUST strike the traitor Cannon to
the heart to find that no one had the
least inclination to name him in connec-
ton with the Office which he now holds
at the Populist convention at Sacra-
mento. This loudmouthed demagogue
is striking lesson OF the slight reliance
that can be placed upon those who as
sume great devotion to the cause of the
people. Every one here recalls his blst-
ant professions of devotion to silver, and
the facile treachery which signalized his
acts when be reached Washington. His
innumerable crimes against syntax were
bad enough, bat his plishments as
liar and traitor were far in advance
even of his bad English. 1t is to be
hoped that Rev. Bowman is a man of q
different kidney. Though his chances
OF sitting in congress are not great, there
nevertheless is remote possibility OF
his getting to Washington, and the send
ing there of q second Cannon would Gre

DEATH OF CAPTAIN MOODY
He suocumbs to Heart Disease in tn,
Theater E0Ver,

He suocumbs to Heart Disease In the
Theater Foyer.
Three men eat in the dress circle OF
the Los Angeles theater last night, and
created some disturbance by their noisy
style Of commenting on the performance
OF Padiewhiskie, the pianist.
Captain Moody, the ticket taker. spoke
to them, and on their continuing to be
somewhat uproarious. he ordered them
out. One of them demurred and slight
scuffls ensued, after which the men de.
cided to 20 without being assisted, and
after some talk went out from the lobby.
The captain walked back into the
foyer and was alone there for q minute.
Mr.. Behymer was standing in the lobby
by the door, and heard curious noise
inside. He rushed in, followed by Man
ager Wyatt, and Captain Moody was
found on the floor, struggling for breath.
r 4storatives were applied and physi-
clan summoned, but to no avail, as in
about two minutes he died, evidently
from heart disease.
Captain Moody has been ION the
door" for Manager Wyatt for eight years
or more, and was a most efficient, relia-
BILE, widely liked man, who was liked by
all patrons Of the house. He had many
charming personal qualities, and the
fact of his death will be sad news to
many this morning.
Besides his duties at the theater, the
captain was interested in detective
and patrol agency.

THE treasury department has caused
the announcement to be made that the
gold reserve has again dropped perilous-
ly near the danger line, which has been
placed, judging by the last issue OF $780,
900 in bonds, at 500, 1000, 0O0 by Mr..
Carlisle. OF course, il the secretary al
lows his gold to be depleted at the ca
price of Wall street, and declines to pay
out greenbacks and silver and silver GER
tifcates, with a monthly deficiency in
the revenues, the result is inevitable.
Ii the best that Democratic admins
trstion can show in its handling OF the
national finances is periodic increase
OF the bonded debt of the United States,
the prestige of the party cannot fail to
be seriously damaged. Another issue OF
bonds to replenisn the stock of gold
would strike the people with dismay.
Americans can never bring themselves
to believe that national debt is ma
tional blessing. There are still quite a
number of Jackson Democrats in the
country, and such programme would
strike them with horror.
