COME AT LAST.

A PROPOSITION to make duties payable in
part In gold has emanated at last from the
expected source. Mr. Henry Clews is sur
prsed that a remedy for the drain of gold
from the treasury so simple and 90 en-
tirely unobjectionable has not been thought
of before. He proceeds complacently TO
lay his discovery at the feet of the Seere-
tary of the Treasury. Good Mr.. Clews
knows. doubtless. that there is law In
force since 1878 which makes silver dollars
payable for all Dues public or private. 1t
is this law that preserves the parity be-
tween gold and silver. The moment Con-
gress says that silver dollars will not be
received at ;helr face value in payment of
public dues will see gold jump to a pre-
MUM. This is what the Wall-street
spectators have been working for Hsv-
ing got every contract for the future pay
ment of money made to require gold coin,
the time seems to have come to put screws
to the debtors. But MIR. Clews and his
Wall-street associates will have to wait a
while. The present Congress will not
give President Cleveland a chance to sign
such a bill as Mr.. Clews recommends. 1t
would rather give the Treasury Depart
ment authority to issue bonds in sufficient
amount to meet any gold deficit that may
arise

AN UNFORTUNATE LETTER.

Among the many boomerangs President
Cleveland has let f1y ths Wilson letter was
the most disastrous on the rebound. Two
clauses in that letter are now being quoted
against the writer. One is the stalwart
insistence upon free coal and free iron.
the other the intimati0n that sugar was a
proper source of revenue. By holding out
for free iron and free coal. the way was
marked for degree of protection on sugar
that would satisfy both sugaT-growers and
sugar-refners. The light which Senator
German flashed upon the operations of the
Nova Scotia Coal Company permits the
public to perceive why the President was
so determined to secure free coal, while so
willing TO abandon free sugar. Now nc one
supposes that the President profits per-
sonally by any chan ges that may be made
in the tariff bill. But many of his blum
, ders may be traced to the obligation he
was placed under BIZ Whitney at Chicago.
Out of this grew the Van Allen incident.
and presumably also the Wilson letter.
1t is clear, atleast, thai ex-Secretary Whit
ney is in the way TO profit largely by the
admission of Nova Scotia coal free.
The habit of most Presidents has been
not to attempt to dictate legislation to
Congress The peril Of such dictation has
been plainly perceived by Mr.. Clevsland's
predecessors.

UNITED STATES AMERICANs.E

An unsigned fysheet has reached this
Office which purports to outline the princi-
Piles of new party. to be known as
United States Americans" 1t contains
more of good and less of bad than is gen.
orally found in platforms designed IS cure
alls for existing evils. The second plank
defines the nature of its Americanism:
We regard all citizens of our country
whether native-born or naturaliZed, as true
Americans, and always entitled TO be recog.
niZed as such wherever they may be; and we
are not IN favor of any measure which tends 10
classify or designate any Of them according TO
previous condition or nationality. We believe
in unity OF citizenship.
This is a form or degree of American
ism that most forsign-born citizens will
accept. While there is no harm in social
fraternal associations designed to bring
into companions ship members of the same
national family political organizations de-
signed to concentrate the vote Of any
nationality into either party or upon either
side of an American issue are to be de-
plored. The next plank is as follows:
We demand that no person wto holds either
direct or indirect allegiance to any foreign or
ganiZed political or ecclesiastical power, or is
troll the state, shall be eligible to any political
office, either elective or appOintiye, within the
gift of the American people.
Whatever of harm exists in this resolu-
tion lies in the danger of missapplication.
II there are any Americans who desire to
have any church control the state he has
but to make his position known to isolate
himself politically. The people of the
b11 la
and under the state all church organiZa-
tions are equal. If any church wants
more than this its spirit is not American.
The more certain it is of the divinity of
its mission the better content it should be
with an equal right to proclaim its doc
trines. But care should be exercised not to
impute motives aud principles which are
not entertained, or. if entertained at all,
only by exceptional individuals. The
American mind is so fixed on this propo-
sitiun that we can afford not to be sus-
picious.
The eighth plank demands protection on
American raw material and also demands
laws to prevent the accumulation Of large
tracts of land in the hands of individuals
or corporations. There will be little open
opposition to the second part of this reSO-
luton, nor to the first, except among free
traders. The eleventh defines more clearly
the fiscal policy of the new party:
We believe in the policy of protective tariff
against all foreign manufactures, and the free
admission OF necessaries OF life and such raw
| materials as are of necessary use by the manu-
featuring interests of our country; and we holC
all matters under this head should be adjusted
by tariff court or commission whose decision!
! shall be ratified by Congress.
There is also a declaration in favor Of
the bimetallic standard. the ratio of silver
/ to gold not TO exceed sixteen to one
The platform covers many other points
the tendency being toward what is known
| as paternalism IN government.

achieved within one year by one man. Grover
Cleveland has utterly annihilated the entire

MIR. Cleveland succeeded where the Re-
publIcans had failed, by bringing this sub
jeet to a close view. So long as free trade
was held at arms distance it was a pretty
picture to look upon. Bnt when closer

HOW TO LIVE LONG.

II. Franclsque Ssrcey, the most infuen-
tal dramatic critic in France, having
reached the age of 66 years. has resolved
to experiment with himself iu the hope of
pr0longing his life to the term which NJ.
Flourens and Herr Hufeland consider
easily attainable-namely. 100 years or
over. He has begun by turning vegetar-
ian. He eats no meat, but satisfies
naturally fine appetite with eggs, cheese,
butter, milk. fish and bread. lie says that
after year of this regime he feels stronger
than he did and mis- mind is clearer. He
has abandoned the use of stimulants. has
quit smoking and has reduced his con-
sumption of coffee. There is nothing in
the laws of life which iustifes belief
that his regime is certain to postpone
death; vegetarians, total abstainers and
nOn-smokers have not been observed, as a
rule, to live longer than other people; but
those who resort immodsratey to stimu-
lants or narcotics or TO the use of animal
food invite a class of diseases which may
prove fatal, and may weaken the resisting
power of the organism.
According to the doctors, length of days
may be hoped from concurrence of in
fuences. To live long man should lead
a calm happy life, without disturbing ac-
cidents, which wear out the system By
friction; should eat in moderation food
that is palatable and easily dgested; ;
should take exercise and pleasure in the
same moderation, and should avoid ex-
element or dissipation should spend as
MANY hours as possible in the open air
and sleep in a pure atmosphere. A eli
hat ic ~ "
cold or very dry or very moist is bad.
Death comes from the gradual thickening
of the tissues, and the slow but steady
disintegration of the organs; one tissue
after another grows unwieldy; each organ
loses its alertness in succession; last Of
all the blood becomes cloggsd with earthly
salts, and the heart, enfeebled by age,
loses its power to keep sixty CT seventy
pounds of fluid in circulation. But the
rate at which disintegration proceeds varies
In each individual; and, of course, the
chances of life are being constantly in
creased by the progress of medical science,
which cures diseases that used to be con-
stsnt causes of death.
N. Sarcey's revelation Of his purposes
has led to discussion of the laws of life,
and particularly suspended animation.
According to our lights. life begins with
the beating of the heart in the embryo,
and ends whenever that beating ceases.
| There is no example Of break in the
| beats except for a brief period of time.
When the heart stops the man is dead, and
dead to stay. But our lights are limited
| in range.

able advance has been made during the past

modern civilization. This advance, however,
in his judgment, Is confined largely to the

The Yosemite Valley Commission met yester-
day In room %, Crocker building, with Chair

The committee on roads and trails submitted
a report that all routes of travel in the valley
were generally in good condition. Sill some
fencing is needed on the outside OF hlgh trails
as a precaution against accidents. For this
purpose the committee recommended that stone
walls be built as soon as possible, and mean
while protection In The form OF brush fences
ought TO be constructed. The report was re-
ceiyed and referred to the executive committee.
No attention was given the fight now going on
between contractors for a proposed Tree road
through the valley and the lease OF toll roads.
A visitor 10 the valley who returned lew
DAYS ago stated yesterday that the tolls col
ected are eXorbitant, and traveller who fol-
lows the roads any distance is literally rob bbed.
Some time ago contract for building road
through the valley was let o Bigeiow q CO. OF
this city, but the toll-rOad man entered legal
objections and no road was built. The case
has already cost MaripoSa County $4,000,
and decision is expected IN favor 0i the con
tractors very soon. In the meantime tolls are
collected for the privilege OF passing over
Irregular and hummocky rOaos that were built
without particular regard for engineering. The
road that may be built follows the Merced
River on comparatively level ground, from
which excellent views can be had-and there
will be no tolls over II.
The committee on preservation OF the valley
recommended that all the dead trees, which
artists paint in fairgrounds and which form a
