of the President.

of the President.
When Mr.. Smith concluded, Mr. Hill
Jumped to his feet and being recognized,
launched his speech. He said:
"a theory as well as a condition
now cOnfrOnts us. The theory Of
the democratic party Is that In the en-
actment Of tariff legislation free raw
materials should always be an essential
and conspicuous element. 1t is our creed
that the materials which enter into our
manufactures should be freed from the
burdens of tariff taxation. The best in
tereSts Of the manufacturers. as we'll as
the consumers of the land demand the
recognition of this wise discrimination
We are committed to this side of the
question, and we cannot retreat and we
cannot retract. We are honorably bound
20 redeem our professions and our prom
ises. Justice, good faith and a decent
regard for the public sentiment all re-
quire this course. Until recently / had
supposed that there was no dispute upon
this question OF principle. but that every
democrat worthy OF the name was will

thing more than another 10 which the
democratic party was committed 81 was
In favor Of the doctrine OF absolutely free
raw materials. The true and honest con-
struotion OF every democratic national
platform for twelve years past irrevoca-
bly, commits us to this just and reason
able principle"
Mr.. Hill, referring to the democratic
national platform Of 1892. continued ITO
repeal the Mckinley law in form simply;
TO re-enact II in effect is keeping this
promise to the letter, but breaking It In
spirit. The platform pointed with pride
and deliberately approved the measures
for free iron ore. free lead ore. free coal
and free wool which we're pending In
congress at the time OF the convention.
The democratic position was so plain
and is so clear that he who runs may
read.

OF the whole land and subscribing the
supposed interests Of locality. promised

A QUICK VOYAGE.
Good Time From Swansea
Recorded.
The italian Ship Salvatore Ciampa
Makes the Trip in One Hundred
and Twelve Days.

A remarkable voyage was that of the
Italian ship Salvatore Ciampa, Captain
Cocorullo master, which arrived in port
yesterday, coal-ladenHfrom Swansea, max
ing the entire distance in 112 days. The
master of the ship reports good weather
and favorable winds throughout the trip.
The San Juan arrived from Panama
and way ports yesterday with full cargo,
but small passenger list. A majority of
the cabin passengers came from Central
American ports. They report that the war
scare between Guatemala and Mexico is
largely on paper, and are disinclined to
believe that the troubles will lead TO hos
tiites.
The steam schooner North Fork came in
Yesterday from Eureka, Fields Landing
and Arcata, with heavy passenger list
Quite an amount Of activity toward dis
patching whalers for the winter cruise is
manifested. The Cape Horn Pigeon
sailed yesterday. The California is re-
fitting and will sail within short time.
She will probably make toward the coast
Of Japan aud then cruise south to the
equator for sperm whale.
The ship Shenandoah, which came down
from Port Costa with cargo of wheat,
will probably sail for Liverpool to-day
The sealing schooners Winchester and
Bowhead are lying at Folsom No. 2. They
are being fitted out by William Bendt and
will sail north shortly. Captain Noyes
will command the Winchester and Cap
tain johnson the Bowhead.
u. j. johnson, acting TOR Captain HART
wen, received word yesterday from Wash
ington that the fine against the captain
for failing to show side lights on the
sealer Therese at the time he was over.
hauled by a cutter up north had been re.
miited. The fine was $500.
The sealer rs arrived yesterday from
Kodiak with a cargo of sealskins valued
at $40. 900.
Rapid work Is being made in laying the

RECENT PUBLICATIONS

ELDER CONKLIN.-In this volume Frank
Harris reprints stories that have already
appeared in the magazines. They de-
served, however. to be reprinted, for they
are full of the ''snap" and ''go" of frontier
life. Incidents and characters are strongly
conceived and strongly drawn. They are
accurate and sharply defined photographs
of what many Of US have seen with our
own eyes, and they possess variety enough
to.suit all tastes. Elder ConkIiD, the title
OF the first story, is a man of few words
and resolute character. as may be judged
from his resistance to Uncle Sam to pre-
vent the truops from destroying bis wheat
fields in the forbidden Indian Territory.

business and lie too, not indeed for him self
but for his daughter, Lou, that she may

RECKLESS RIDERS.
An Artiileryman Comes to Grief on
Golden Gate Avenue.

Three artillerymen belonging to D bat
terry at the Preside came galloping down
hyde street yesterday afternoon at a
oreakneck pace. They were on their
way to the horse show TO display their
skill as rough riders.
AS they swung around to Golden Gate
avenue the horse ridden by Private Louis
Dorman slipped on the asphalt pavement
and Dorman lost his seat and landed on
the top of his head. Two citizens who
were crossing Hyde street at the time were
nearly run over by the dashing horsemen.
They had barely time to jump aside.
They picked up Dormau and yelled after
the other two horsemen, but it was d OF
till Dorman's horse had overtaken them
that they discovered something was
wrong. They gslloped back aud between
them carried Dorman to the Receiving
Hospital
DR.. Berry stitched wound in Dorman g
forehead. put his nose in shape and ex-
tracted the stumps of two teeth that had
been knocked out. He was kept in the
hospital till the Preside ambu lance called
for him.

TO THE RESCUE.
Organized for Citizens
Defense.
The Association Which Did so rIuch
in the Past Will Again Watch
Over the City.

The Citizens Defense Association, which
did such efficient work two years ago and
especially during the session of the Legis-
Iature. has reorganizsd. joseph Britain
has been reelected president and Horace
Dunn secretary.
The good work accomplished by the as
ISOLATION in the past is we'll known. Chief
among its trumphs for the city's benefit
will be remembered the passage of the
purity of.eleclions law and the law known
as the fee bill. Both of these were sweep
ng measures, the beneficial effect of one
having already been felt.
In the last election the knowledge OF the
existence of the purity of elections law was
concealed to have had wh olesome restric-
tive effect upon corruption. The reco gni
ton that accounts OF candidates would
have to be fled and would be subject tt
the closest scrutiny deferred the unscru.
pulous from the commission OF open fraud
and suggested to the honest but poor can
didate a possibility OF obtaining an equal
chance at the polls with slated nominees
in accordance With constitutional right.
The fee bill, which will go into e1ec'
with the ensuing municipal term, Is Hkely
10 prove serious thorn ID the sue OF pre-
datory officials The fees are by this law
determined 10 detail and their disposltlon
is cstegorically provided for. Practically
the irresponsible fee system OF the pso
has been abolished, ana it will remain for
the office-holders In the City Hall who de-
sire to have untrammeled control OF the
spells to devise some new method OF reailZ-
ing their unlawful desires.
With such earnests of its work IN the
past the reorganization OF the Cliizens
Defense Association will be welcomed oy
lava biding citizens, who regard II as
standing and vigiant menace TO official
municipal misconduct.

SIDE-DOOR CASES.
Judge Low Again Postpones the
Trial for a Month.

Several months ago the police. at the
urgent solicitation of the Anti-Dive Asso-
citation, arrested many saleon-keepers for
violating the side-door ordinance. The
Iiquor-dealers collected money and pre-
pared to fight the cases with their accus-
toned vigor. The trials. upon one pre-
text or another. were postponed from time
to time until they were forgotten.
Some fifteen or sixteen Of the cases were
in Judge Lows department of the Police
Court and his Honor called them for trial
yesterday morning. No one appeared to
prosecute and the court without wasting
time over the matter postponed the hear
ing for month.

Those who saw Charles R. Newton win the mile handicap race at Norwich on Tuesday of last week, are enthusiastic in praise of his work at the finish. Just as he was overhauling the riders who had been placed ahead of him, as the scratch man, two riders crossed in front of H. R. Howard, breaking his wheel and disabling him, and, as Howard was directly in front of Newton, putting pile of humanity and wreckage directly in the path of the latter. With rare nerve the champion turned his wheel at nearly right angles to it's course, causing him to cross the track almost twice before getting 8 clear track and new start. Meanwhile other riders had pulled away from him. Now came some of the best work ever done by a class A rider on any track in the United States, according to good authority. Newton's reserve power was shown to his friends for the first time, as with light ming speed he worked the pedals and rap idly reducing the lead of those in front, just getting lead upon the last in time to win the first prize.

Ostrich Fumes.

I am receiving so many inquiries on the ostrich feather question that think it would help to throw light on the matter if I say that I have learned that, while these feathers can be obtained without cruelty, it appears that cruelty is prac- ticad in some places. The following ta- ken from the London Truth will show the cruel side. It seems to me that we who are set for advancement and reform should endeavor to show how tasteful we can make our headgear and other parts of our dress without adopting any form of decoration which may involve cruelty.
 II should like to hear from the Society for the Protection of Birds, which cOm- mended the other day to the notice of my lady readers, why the only birds feathers, the wearing of which they countenance, are the plumes of the ostrich. A lady tells me that she has declined an invitation to join the society because it does not pro- tect the ostrich, and in justification of her decision she gives the following account Ol buc pluCklIlS OI OSGElCuoS OI t Iobthol farm. If the facts are accurate, think that they fully prove her case: The good ladies who belong to this society, and who condemn as cruel the simple mercy of death, should go to the ostrich farm near Cairo-I believe the largest there is and hear from those in charge descrip- tion of the annual feather gathering. The first year bird is plucked he can be cas- fly caught and thrown by one man. The feathers are then wrenched, bleeding from histortured body after which the marabout ! and down are torn off. After one experience the birds can only be caught with the ut most difficulty, and it takes six or eight men to throw an old bird. 1t is very hard work plucking,' we are told, the feathers are bedded so tight in the flesh. l asked if it would not do as we'll to eliI | the feathers close, and was told that deal CTS would only buy those with the perfect quill. All the undressed feathers offered for sale on the farm had blood on the quills, and we were told that when the annual plucking takes place the shrieks
