Stewart, of Nevada, is aiving reminder
Of the condition of the little dog Rover,
in the nursery rhyme, who, when he
died, he died all over" Since Stewart
turned populist he is populist 'all over. 80
He attempts TO kick Harrison while he
cuffs Cleveland. He now sees in the Re
publican party nothing but tool of the
money power in England" and in the
democracy he sees only the same thing.
Stewart was once republican Of the re-
publicans, but the republicans decline to
make his silver mines a party issue, so he
is a populist.

there is not much probability that gold

trade is so largely in our favor as it now
is. Statements recently issued by the
treasury department show that for seven
months ending Jan. 81, our exports
amounted to 1913, 662, 269 Our imports
during the same period were only S37l, =
$4,000. The balance in our favor, there
fore was something over S2d0,Ooo 600.
Notwithstanding the hard times and
the low prices our exports for the period
underConslderation have been much above
the average. In only one year did they ex-
coed those Of the year ending Jan. 81 last,
and THAI was in ls52, when there was
great scarcity Of breadstuffs in Europe.
OfcoJrse "a very large part of our ex-
ports are from the south. The souths
cotton is undoubtedly the biggest item.
If it were not for cotton the balance Of
trade would always be against US. It is
gratifying to note also that the exports Of
our manufactured products have in
creased greatly recently. For the seven
months mentioned, the value of them was
over $4,000, 900. During same months
last year their value vas only about SSS,-
,0J0. This increase shows that
our manufacturers are steadily
finding market abroad. If
the Wilson bill becomes
a law they viii have still further Oppor-
tunities for increasing their trade abroad,
because they will make their prod
ucts more cheaply, and will be better
able, therefore, to compete with the
manufacturers Of other countries. The
commercial situation, bad as it is, is no.
without some encouraging features.

There was, according to the Washington

whatever influence they had to bear to
keep him off the committee. They feared
that he might again obstruct their pur-

to fill the place than probably any other
senator who was not already member OF

The injunction against Gov. Waite. of
Colorado, to restrain him from taking for
chile possession of the fire and police
board Offices in Denver, referred to in our
dispatches yesterday as having been sus-
tanned, was issued something like a week
ago. 1t came about in this way: Two
of the Denver police commissioners were
not populistic enough to suit the gov
ernor. so he removed them, without a
legal cause. and appointed two of his
henchmen 70 the vacancies. The com
missioners refused to vacate on the gov
ernor's order, and backed up their ;efu-
sal with the police force. The governor
went into one of his famous tantrums
swore until the state of the atmosphere
misled the weather bureau into predict
ing cold wave in a warm region. and de-
clared he would call out the militia
against the Denver police and take the
Offices by force of arms. The MAYOR
went to the governors aid with a force
of deputies, but before there was a clash
the injunction business began Every
body got injunctions AGAINST everybody
else, and the imminent blood Invading
event was averted. Waite, however. was

refuse beforehand the murderer was

A little girl at Bucyrus Ohio exhibited
exceptional pluck and presence of mind
the other day that is worthy of note She
was crossing a railroad track when her
foot caught in a switch frog and she was
held fast. A heavy freight train was
laundering down towards her, and was
less than 100 yards away when the engi-
neer recognized her preGicament He did
his best to stop the train, but that was
seen to be impossible When the train
was fifty yards away the little girl went
down on her knees in the middle of the
track. The engineer and spectators the
latter of whom were too far away to rem
der assistance-thought she realized her
fate and was praying. And she probably
was, but not in anticipation of death, for
as the train approached within ten feet of
her She sprang up and stepped from the
track uninjured. She had kneeled, I'M
buttoned her shoe, slipped her foot out
and left the shoe sticking in the frog.

Heads I Win. Tails You Lose. =.

An adverse report made recently by the
House committee on claims on bill for
the relief of the legal representatives of
Henry $. French, " affords an insight into
the operations ofsome of the truly loyal"
pa.tisans of the north duringt the war, who
are now, in their own persons, or through
their legal representatives, endeavoring
to draw large sums from the federal treas
ury in settlement of damages" sustained
by reason of the war. The action of the
committee on this French case, and on
Others of somewhat similar details, has
been criticised in northern newspapers of
the patriot for revenue only" stamp,
hence it is of interest to note what the
facts in the French case are.
From papers before the committee
it appears that French was a union
man who lived at Nashville, Tenn,
where he conducted a grocery business.
During the war he employed the firm of
Butler y Peters, brokers, at Atlanta. to
purchase cotton for him. The firm exc
cuted the order, buying some 336 bales of
cotton, valued at about S120, 600, which
was stored, in the name of the firm, at
were southern sympathizers, and the cot
ton was paid for with Georgia money.
Sherman's army seized about 100 bales
of the cotton and used it for hos
pttal purposes; the rest was contis-
Gated as confederate property and
sent to Nashville, where its identity
was lost by confusion with other cotton
Whether through inadvertence or a de-
sire to keep the matter dark, the period

the court of claims was allowed to expire.
leaving only congress to be appealed to.
Some years ago French in person made
his claim to congress for remuneration;
then he died, and his heirs took up the
struggle where he dropped it.
In reporting adversely upon the claim
the House committee refers to the claim
ant as 'unionist of type so convenient
and safe that his transactions were
planned for success whether the south
win or lost. French, the unionist,
ordered the cotton bought and furnished
the money; his brokers, the confederates,
purchased the cotton and had it stored in
their name, so that if the north won the
cotton would be French's, and if the
south won the cotton would belong to
Butler & Peters. 1t was, as the commit
tee puts it, "a game of heads win, tails
you lose, with the federal and confeder-
ate governments conformity representing
the tails" Concluding, the committee
says: 'Outside of its palpably Illegal
character, the enterprise was purely spec
ulative and of the riskiest sort, for it in
volved the chances of internecine war"

ARTISTIC WORK.
Camera Club Displays Its
Productions.
The Members Present Many Fine
Collections for the Inspection
of the Public.

The California Camera Club is holding
its annual print exhibition in the Acad-
emy of Sciences buildings. The show be-
gan yesterday and will continue until
Saturday of this week.
The exhibition-rooms are tastefully
decorated, and the different exhibitors
have artistically and In many instances
uniquely grouped their displays about on
the walls and upon large show boards, so
that the effect of the display as whole is
exceedingly pleasing.
Every process known to photography is
represented. PlatinOtypes, Dromides. car
bons, silver prints. alpha prints, matt SUI :
face and opal prints abound in large num-
bers. The display of pinhole prints is
considered by the amateur artists to be OF
a very high standard. There are in all on
exhibition over $50 prints and 80 enlarge
ments.
The collections of some of the exhibitors
are worthy of note.
Messrs. Adams and Comaeh have
jointly on exhibit collection which is
pronounced by all admirers of the photo
graphic art to be OF very high order.
Their pln-bole prints especially are
thought 10 be very fine.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. q. Mcfarland have pre-
sented some very choice gems. Their
bromide prints can only after careful scru-
tiny be distinguished from steel line en-
cravings. Some of the naval scenes are
very exquisite and show that the artists
have given much time and study to this
branch Of the art.
The chairman of the exhibition COM
mittee. w. j. Street, has prepared very
elaborate and expensive bromide enlarge
ment for the event. 1t is sketch OF the
yacht 'Tbe Seven Bells" set in an an
tiQue frame. By many "The Seven
Bells" Is considered the gem of the exh-
bitioD. Mr.. Street also has on exhibition
q sepia toned bromide which has attracte d
considerable attention as work of art.
The scene is laid about San Mateo.
Philip Carlton has couple of contact
carbon prints of game pieces which are
exceedingly realistic as well as fine speci-
mems of the process.
The work of Henry Hosmer is above
criticism. Artists assert that the collec-
ton of Mr.. Hosmer cannot be eXcelled b.
any other camera club in the country.
Messrs. Cromwell and Fulda have very
excellent display of marine, idwinte r
Fair and rural scenes. Miss Green's snap
shots of little children have humorous as
well as an artistic effect
The .Alaskan views of Captain Hum
phrey appear lifelike. and the enlarge
Dents of MIR. Owens have a remarkable
etching effect.
w. 5. Hochstadter. Ted Schwerin, T. III.
d'Estrella, Phillip Maunder and Miss
Jessie Poundstone OF Colusa County have
large collections, which receive a great
deal OF favorable comment.
The exhibition is attracting large crowds

FLOWED A SYNOD"
How an Alameda Maiden
Had Her Way.
A Suddenly Developed Passion for

> Among the pastors who expressed an in

of the coming meeting, was surprised to
receive request from his young friend,
Miss Louise Tisdale. daughter of DR.. G. Il.
Tisdale of Alameda, 10 be allowed to ac-

The good pastor was nothing ayerse
to such a fair and vivacious addition to
his travelling company and readily acqui-
esced in her wish. But his mind remained
puzzled over the strange, growing favor
of The I'm de steele girl for synOds. lie
considered it might be case of reaction
from natural frivolity and thought he
would compose paper for the synod on
1.-THE latter-day tendency of the young To-
ward the solidly good" but be changed
his views before the synod convened.
Dr. and Mrs. Brush and their charming
ward found themselves among friends on
board the steamer bound for Los Angeles.
There were numerous local Presb by terians
among the passengers aud DR.. Brush
speedily renewed his acquaintance with
them.
"Why. there is Mr.. Smith! How nice r.
cried Miss Tisdale. and she brought to her
temporary guardians handsome cleric
whom she introduced as Rev. }. Cumming
Smith. pastor of Trinity Church OF this
city. The pretty confus or his ward
could not escape DR.. Brush, who ex-
changed a glance with his wife.
And pretty soon the cat was out of the
bag. The mysterious affection of Miss
Tisdale for synods was explained. She
aud the Rev. Mr.. Smith were affianced
and on the very day of the steamers de-
parture the city society columns had an
nounced the interesting fact of their be.
trothal.
But DR.. Brush had known nothing of IL
and in the temporary irritation at the
failure of his proposed theory regarding
the latter-day edification of the young, he
set about formulating another paper 30 be
read before the synod. This was to be
entitled: 1.-THE singular fidelity of the
young to old-fashinned methods of action.

are concerned"
