Castro at Home.

The Evening Breeze. published at Mr..
Castro's home, San Luis Obispo. speaks
as follows of the Democratic candidate
for state treasurer:
Who knows Jose @. Castro better than
the people of San Luis Obspo, where
his home hos always been. where he
has spent years of an upright life; where
the memory OF hundreds OF noble deeds
and countless charities cling about his
name; whers the true Christian charity
OF his big heart has been made manifest
30 many times; where his public spirit
edness is prover bial; his generosity. his
honesty and his observation-disclosures are
universally praised? Who is it that ia
not Cantro's friend? Where is the man
that ever went to him for reasonable
avor that he did not get it? Where is
there one in need who ever appealed to
him in vain? Where is there q hand
that ever stretched out to him for aims
and was drawn back empty? Who ever
a-.-ed Joe Castro for bread and received
a stone? All, could the past but speak
OF his many deeds, what glorious vim
dication it would be. Ever the friend OF
the wronged. the beneiactor of the
needy, neighborly, patriotic, enterpris-
ing, jose @. Castro has nothing to pal-
late, nothing to apologize for; and as to
character, his, as compared to those oil
his tsaducers, looms up like mountain
OF spotless marble among sepulchers
veneered outside with Hypocrisy and
fostering and bloating with pollution
within.

A NEW CUP CHALLENGE Err.
watson Designing 0O-Foot Yacht 4
Lord Dunrav0u,

watson Designing 00-Foot Yacht for
Lord Dunraven.
GoURIcK, Scotland, Oct. 16.-1t may
now be taken for granted that Designer
Watson has tho lines all out for a cup
challenger for 1895. and just now Hen
derson Patrick is preparing to see Lord
Duuraven and talk the matter over with
him.
On most reliable authority the state.
mant is made that Lord Dunraven de-
cided that his first Valkyrie. which
measured 20 feet on the water line-the
ship with which he challenged three
years ago-was hardly large enough for
her all-around purposes. consequently
his idea was to challenge this year with
an so footer.
He held strongly to this notion until
little more than a month ago, when he
learned that Fife had an order for
boat over 80 feet, and that James
Gordon Benefits new boat would turn
out to be a 90-footer. In the latter
event he saw but little chance for on
S0.footer on the other side to win the
cup, and being bound by his own
preceuenI, Wnlcn RiloWeu all AmerlCHu
boats available for the defense of the
cup to bs counted in again, he wisely
decided to 20 to the limit length an d
build 90-footer, thus asking no favors
of the New York Yacht clubs as to
length. In fact there are many people
who believe that Watson himself prefers
a 90-looter to 70-footer.
The work on the boat will commence
at once and the challenge may be sent
little ahead of the official required
time. Watson will say nothing about
his new order except that she will no
doubt go across and try for the cup.
IL goes without saying that, as in the
case of the Thistle, an attempt will be
made TO build her in secret. In build
ing 90-footer Lord Dunraven has gone
to the limit of the new deed of gift, and
consequently will have no fear OF exiat-
| ing boats.

So that Mr.. Estee stands convicted by
the official record OF having opposed the

Estee, as we learn from the press dis
patches appearing in yesterdays HER

the telegraphic report goes on to say,
"made a positive denial OF the charge,
and added that at the time the resolu-
ton was introduced he was absent from
the legislature; the resolution was in
troduced by q Los Angeles member
named Watson; the delegation went
away satisfied" etc.
How dieingenuous the reply. How
evasive ard elusive. How like the spe-
cfal pleading of hair-splitting attor-
ney, and how unworthy OF one who
aspires TO the exalted honors OF the
chief magistracy OF California.
OF course, Mr.. Estee can truthfully

lasing proceedings in civil cases in courts
OF justice in this state with the Indian.
the Mongolian. and the Chinese, and
keep him under the degrading restric-
tions of the act OF April 20, 1851? The
official record irrevocably fixes his atti-
tude in those days towards the negro,
and his evasive denisls will not avail
him in this campaign, or hereafter.

doubt that Mr.. White will be able to
carry the proposition through the U United

proval in advance OF the secretary OF the

paper on that side in the country is the
New York Tribune, and ell that paper
has ventured to say on the subject, is
that 1t is possible-barely possible-thst
the Republicans may control the next

suffer some losses, but not numerous
enough to imperil their majority. And
where. in most cases. the Democrats are
likely to lose. the Populists will probably

MADISON, Wis, Oct. 16.-A suit was
filed in the United States circuit court
here to test Secretary Hoke Smiths de-

besides the title to the land. about $780,

filed on behalf of 25 homestesders, who
have entered the land against the Key
stone Lumber company, which secured a
contract for the pine on the lands from
the Superior Lumber company, the com.
pany of Villas & knight, who in turn se-
cured contract from the Wisconsin
Central road. The latter's right was
vested in a grant of odd-numbered sec-
tions in thoee towns. which was termin-
ated by the act OF 1887. and the land
opened to settlement. The com mission

does not apply to the Keystone Lum ber

MERGED BANK CLOSED.
AN OLD FINANCIAL INSTITUTION
IN TROUBLE.
Its Failure Due to tho Withdrawal oi
Funds by the County Treasurer.
Depositors to Be Paid
in Full.

MERGED, CAL, Oct. 16.-The Merced
bank, which has been doing business
here since 1875, closed its doors this
morning. The failure Is due to the
bank's inability to realize on its Sc
curities. AS yet the officials of the bank
have made no public statement, but it
known that the bank he'd over $780,
600 loaned to merchants and ranchers
OF this community on which they could
not realize.
The concerns statement to the state
bank commissioners in July last gave
the banks resources as $243, ,029, emu
merated as followa: Bank premises,
$lO.445; real estate taken for debt,
$Sl9S; miscellaneous stocks, $4700;
county warrants. $17OS; loans on real
estate. 1865; loans on stocks, $21 %
loans on grain and other securities,
$09S3; loans on personal securities and
overdrafts, $ll5,0ll; money On hand,
$9677; due from banks, ,$5545; furniture
and fixtures. $3.50. The principal item
OF the banks liabilit es at that time
were: Capital paid in coin. $4S. 900 !;
piohe nuu lono huu contingent Iunu,
$SS6l; due depositors, $160,637; due
other banks. $25, 900.
The directors of the bank are all sub
stantiai business men. 1t 10 believed
that the depositors will be paid in full
and that the failure will have no dis
astrous effect upon the business of the
community. While the failure is known
to be mainly due to the general financial
stringenoy, the immediate cause OF the
suspension is said to be of political
nature. For years it has been custom
ary for the county treasurer to place
the county funds on open deposit with
the three banks OF Merced. County
Treasurer Bartlett was defeated for re-
nomination in the recent Democratic
convention, and attributing his defeat
to the interference OF the officials of the
Merced bank, he demanded the county
funds deposited with the bank. Part of
this money was paid to him. Other
depositors, learning OF che action of the
treasurer, withdrew their deposits.
Thus was started run which the bank
could not meet.
This evening there is a report that
Treasurer Bartlett's bondsmen will COM
pei him to withdraw the many thousand
dollars which he has on open deposit
with the Commercial Savings bank and
the Security Savings bank.

MR.. ESTEES DENIAL.

In 1851 the legislature OF California
passed law providing that mo black
or mulatto person. or Indian. shoald be
permitted to give evidence in favor OF
or against any white person." This
prohibitory statute constituted the four
: f6enth sectiou of the old act concerning
crimes and punishments, and was also
incorporated in the civil practice act
The restriction was removed by act Of
the Legislature in 1868, and the law was
amended SO as to provide that mo In
dian, or person having one-half or more
of Indian blood, or Mongolian, or
Chinese. shall be permitted to give evil
dence in favor of or against any white
person." This change was effected by
eenate bill No. 2, 'An act to amend an
act to regulate proceedings in civil
crses in courts of justice in this state,
passed April 20. 1857 as we learn from
the journal OF the California assembly

At that time M. M. Estee, now the
Republican candidate for governor of
California. was member of the house
of assembly from Sacramento. When
the senate bill was taken up in the house
Mr.. Estee moved to amend by adding to
the fret section: Provided, that no
