might trace his own existence 70 pro-
tective tariff.
The exact benefits to every consumer
were narrated with effect. Some Re
publican Inconsistencies were touched
up with ease. They made sugar cheaper
by taking of the tariff, but the Demo
Gratis will make wooden goods dearer oy
taking the tariff of wool. And so they
say of free lumber and free salt. Free
raw wool will increase the consumption
OF the WOODEN product because 1t will
make It cheaper to the consumer;
Increasing the consumption will In
crease the production; increasing the
production increase the demand for Ia
Dor to prod uce; increasing the demand
for labor will necessarily increase the
wages of the laboring man. Increasing
the production will give our manufsc-
turers OF wooden goods steady run
ming instead of the heretofore tttul
starts and stops-every laborer would
prefer to work 365 days for $3.50 than
200 days for 81 per day. II nothing
more had been done by one party than
the change it made in the WOolen SEIZED
ules 1t would commend US to the people
for reelection.
The pledges of the party were emu
neratsd and their fulflment forcibly
dwelt upon. We are blamed for not
doing in May what it took the Repuo-
lican party till September to accomplish
in the enactment Of the Mckinley bill.
The only argument our friends had IS
fast fading from sight amid the hum
and buzz of industries, long since made
idle under Republican mismanagement.
Away with success and away with the
patriotism which comes by the con-
tinued distress of the people. We have
substituted for the Ubiquitous measure
the like OF which will never again con-
taminAte our statute books, a meas
ure that is Democratic be-
cause it recognizes that the only
Just principls upon which tariff duties
can be levied are the requirements OF
the government economically admins
tered; IL is buslness-like, for it provides
sufficient revenue for the Government
without the necessity of issuing bonds
to save a bankrupt treasury; IL is just,
for it relieves the great masses
of consumers from the burdens
of the Mckinley bill and dis
tributes the burdens whore they
properly belong; it is wise, for it not
only contemplated prosperity and
speedy revival of business, but has
made both an accomplished fact; it Is
prudent, for 1t has not ignored past or
present conditions in the making OF its
schedules; last, and best OF all, it is
patriotic, for every discrimination in the
law is in favor of the American citizen.
Upon the rock we build our house.
y pom this great work-the product
of Democratic endeavor we appeal to
the impartial views Of a people just now
emerging from thraldom by far more
far-reaching and degrading than the
slavery from which the coored people
were emancipated years ago. Have the
courage to exercise properly your great
est privilege by voting in; November TO
Join and swell the bread-winners OF our
country who are now being lead from
the wilderness into the land Of promise.

A Neglected Wound Causes the Death
of Henry j. Thompson.
Henry j. Thompson, young man 20
years of age, died in this city on Thurs
day evening from the effects of an acci-
dental gunshot wound received on Satur-
day last while with some friends in
Amador County.
While the young men were crossing a
swollen stream they got wet. Then they
built fire by which to dry their clothing.
Young Thompson was sitting by the fire,
and for some reason drew his gun,
which lay on the ground, toward him.
The weapon was discharged, the contents
tearing away the heshy portion of the
calves of both legs.
The wounds were not properly dressed,
and when the unfortunate young man
reached here on Wednesday blood
poisoning had set in and the physicians
knew it was too late to save his life by
amputation. He died the next day.
Deceased was a native of Drytown,
Amador County. He leaves, besides his
parents, four sisters and one brother
Mrs. u. B. Grafton, Mrs. a. l.. Wait,
Kate, Rosa and Thomas Thompson. He
was a member of Friendship Council,
Chosen Friends, which will attend his
funeral at o'clock this afternoon from
the Cathedral.

The Minneapolis journal insists that
the Indians must be persuaded to consent
to allotment, and permit the surplus
lands to be sold for the benefit of the
Indian tribes. So far as persuasion is
concerned, that cuts no figure in the mat
ter. We have always persuaded the In
dian the way we want him to go-if not
III one way then in another; either by
words or cavalry sabers. But the United
States Government long ago resolved
upon allotment; The only question is
whether the surplus lands should be at
once thrown open to entry and sale. The
Secretary of the Interior we understand
to advise that after allotment some time
elapse before there is sale of the surplus,
in order to ascertain if the Indian takes
kindly to labor on land. If not, then we
would reclaim the allotment and add it
to the surplus and sell the whole for the
benefit of the Indian, who is, and must
be regarded still, as ward of the Federal
Government. We believe that the Secre-
tary's plan is the right one to adopt.

THE NEW WOMAN.

The Quarterly Re0iei0 calls the "New
Woman" a fad outright. and says she
will not long continue in the land. II
believes that the so-called "libertyr she
1nvokes will prove fatal to her wherever
granted by or wrung from legislators:
If on mans selection of their mates The fr1-
lure depends (and they are still, by force of
numbers, able to chose), what likelihood is
there that an untamed Marcella, still less the
scientific Evadne, and the savage viper
with chloroform on her toilet table, win at
tract either Hercules or Apollo? Who would
bind himself to spend hls days with the an
archlst, the athlete, the bIue-stocking, the ag-
gTesslVe philanthropic, the political, the sur
glcaI woman? And what man would submit
10 an alliance which was terminable, not
when he chose, but when his comrade was
Ilreu Oh him? SUCH are not the IDEALS TO
which he has looked up, or the qualities that
win his affections. The age of chiyalry can
not Ole SO long as woman keeps her peculiar
grace, winch Is neither rugged strength nor
stores OF eruditlon, but a human nature pre-
destined TO motherhood She is called upon
IN the plain language of Mr.. Carpenter, to
bear children, to guard them, to teach them
10 turn them out strong and healthy citizens
OF the great world. And she has divine
right to all that will tit her for so noble
duty.
A writer in Iberia, a Spanish New
York daily, has an article which she en-
titles Neither the Harem nor the Polls"
She contends that the one is degrading
and unworthy of civilization and of man,
the other perverts and denaturalizes
woman. She holds, and wisely, that
woman in group, whether political or
domestic, ceases to be a woman. She
would have women beware of men who
would talk her into the idea of voting.
''They are either laying snare for her or
meditating revenge" There is a world of
truth in all this; far more of wisdom and
of truth than at first appears.

DA CANA is again in the field as a
rebel. When he was out in arms last
year the excuse was made for him that
felxoto. was tyrant and usurped powers
subversive of free government But this
cannot be said of President Moraes. We
suspect that Da Cana is rebel by pro-
1esslon and fighter by choice. He is
the kind OF soldier who would sell his
shirt before he would work. Seriously,
this constant state of turmoil in South
American States is more than deplorable
1t seems impossible to found Govern
ment in any Of them that can exist a
year without revolt against it. At this
present moment no less than four "revo-
lutions" are in progress. 1t is said
that there has not been a month in seven
teen years that there has not been rebel
force IN arms in some State of the South
American Continent. How long would
the people of the United States put up
with such state of affairs7 Despite the
fact that the Argentine Republic exists,
that Chile, Peru and Brazil and the rest
of them have free government, we are
strongly inclined to believe that the Latin
races are as yet incapable of governing
themselves; that they need the strong
hand of monarchy, and will respect no
authority not backed by arms protecting
aristocratic forms.

PROFESSOR MILLER's LECTURE.
The First of the Kingsley Art Club
Course.

The First of the Kingsley Art Club
Course.
The Kingsley Art Club had full hall
at Pythian Castle last night, the occasion
being the first of the clubs course of lec-
lures. 1t was delivered by Professor
Miller of Stanford University.
The subject was "Grecian Sculpture, !"
as represented in two of the most cele-
brated temples of the NEUROLOGICAL era.
The lecture was illustrated by views cast
upon large screen by fine stereopti-
con.
1t is impossible to give synoptical
sketch of this lecture upon Grecian arch
zoology that would be satisfying, since
the hall was necessarily darkened, pre-
cluding the taking of clear notes, and be-
cause there was SO much of reference to
the views. Professor Miller is an easy
speaker, adopts the conversational style,
and unquestionably is an enthusiastic
and broad student in archaeological read
ing and research, and in analysis of the
art works in the Grecian remains. The
audience was certainly entertained and
edited, as It's attention was held without
break for nearly an hour and a half.
The subject in the lecturers hands
grows in interest as he proceeds, and
doubtless even those present whose read
ing III archaeology has been limited were
quickened TO an interest in it that will in
sure their attendance at all the subse-
quent lectures of the course.

WARD MCALLIsTER, the high priest OF
the New York Four Hundred. has pro-
nounced against the bloomer and the
Syrian costumes for women bicyclists
because, he says, they utterly destroy
the symmetrical outlines of the female
figure" If Ward had to operate a bicy-
weight of skirts hanging from the hips
and the folds tangling with his legs, he
would care less for symmetrical disclosure
and more for comfort and health.
The record-union., 1894-12-15
ARBITRATION AGAIN,

the Chicago Inter Ocean, discussing
the arbitration debate in the Labor Con-
gress, says:
The love OF fair play is universal and fair
play viii be enforced by the people, if only
they can arrive at q judgment unbiased by
the demagogy of professional labor agitators
or by the speclous pleadlngS of adroit cham
pions OF capital. And here we unavoidably
nGfk back to the wisdom, we well-nlgh had
said the necessity, OF organization and of
counteT-organiZation. If organized capital
made demand for reduced wages or length
eDed periods of work, organized labor can
ableness thereon, and the people will Judge be-
tween the arguments for ana against. In Ii e
manner If organized labor demand an in
crease of pay reduction of time, its argll-
ments will be weighed against those put forth
by organized capital in opposition to the de-
from the people will be likely to come to
sound conclusions.
That is doubtless true; but it comes
back to the old inquiry: "Who shall bell
the cat ?'' Who shall select these arbiters
from among the people? And we assume
that our contemporary means the people
standing between labor and organized
capital, who are ground when these two
stones revolve with friction, one against
the other. Confessedly there can be no
arbiter appointed without the consent of
the contestants. There can be no such
thing as involuntary and unconsenting
arbitration.
The record-union., 1894-12-15

In the case of Mabel Briggs, the Eu
Claire girl who claims to have been hyp-
noticed by DR.. Pickens and his son, it is
held that the hypnotist can control his
subject at a long distance and hen not in
her immediate presence, and that the
Influence" will remain, no matter how
far away the operator may be from his
subject, until he wills its dissipation.
1t is claimed that the girl for several
weeks remained under the hypnotic in
1luence, and was only relieved when by
threats and pleadings young Pickens was
persuaded to release his control of her:
and from the further fact that although
separated from the young man by over
three miles of space, she being in her
fathers house and he prisoner in Jail,
yet she was able while under his influ-
ence to tell exactly what he was doing.
But people are not warranted in accept
ing the statement on the testimony Of
fered, but should prefer to believe that
there was collusion. That there is some
thing" in hypnotism, otherwise mesmer-
ism, may be granted, since medical sci
ence admits it, and it is used by some
physicians in surgery. But that any such
