GAVE CORBETT A FIGHT.
Courtney Makes it Lively For Jim

New York, Sept. flames ]. Corbett
fought Peter Courtney, of New Jersey,
six hot rounds today at the Edison
laboratory, in Orange, N. ]. 1t was
witnessed By fifteen men, and every
move of the pugilists was reproduced
by Edisons kinetiscope. There was no
ring, but the fight took place in room
twelve feet square, the walls of which
were padded. The rounds averaged
about one minute and th)4ty seconds
each, and there was wait of from a
minute and half to two minutes be-
tween each.
Courtney was full of business and
rushed Corbett for all he was worth
during the first round.
When it came to a clinch, Corbett
would fight him off. but a gamer man
never faced the champion. In the third
round, Corbett knocked his man down
and could have doubtless put him out
if he had chosen.
Every round was fast and furious,
and it was not until the sixth round
that Corbett put his man to sleep.

San Francisco, Sept. THE extradi-

Antonio Ezeta and his fellow refugees
from San Salvador, were continued to-
day in the United States district court.
The testimony adduced, however, was
but repetition of that of yesterday, the
prisoners continuing to testify in their

that at the time of the commission of
the acts charged against them state
of war existed in San Salvador, and
that the alleged murders and robberies
were but incidents of actual warfare.

San Francisco, Sept 7.-Secret agents of
the treasury department have arrested
and brought here two men whom they
accuse of being the countecfeiters who
have been flooding Shasta, Lassen and
Trinity counties with spurious coin that
is a remarkably clever counterfeit. The
men are James Sylvester and George
Short. They were arrested near Fall
River Mills, Shasta county, on Sylvester's
ranch, where a full counterfeiting outfit
was found
Sylvester has lived in Shasta county
20 years and is a prominent citizen of the
county Short, who is related to him by
marriage, is also we'll known. Sylvester
is a Populist and leading politician. AS
delegate to the recent Populist county
convention, he attracted attention as an
earnest advocate of unlimited coinage of
silver, making several impassioned speech
es before the convention. Sylvester
ranch is in the wilderness, miles from any
railroad, and is an ideal place for carry

Regularity of Panics.
"This was not the only cause of the
depression. Financial panics may be
expected about every twenty years,
judging by the past history of this
country, and one was due in the early
nineties. The Barring failure in Lon
don also was largely responsible for
the decentralization of business, but the
fears were Intensified by the fact that
the government, already carrying an
immense volume of currency, intrinsi-
cally worth less than its par value,
could not stand the additional unusual
purchase of $60,000,000 provided for by
the Sherman act. and maintain its sill
yer at par. 1t was apparent that I'M
less these purchases should cease, the
day would surely come when gold and
silver dollars could no longer be main
tanned at par, and would reach the
commercial value rather than their le
gal value, driving gold at once out of
circulation and bringing this country
to a single silver standard with the
same evil consequences that would fol-
low the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 by the
United States alone.
1.-THE repeal of the purchasing clause
of the Sherman bill stopped the panic,
and where money could not be had
at any price in the summer of 1898, it
can now be readily obtained at low
rates of interest. And yet, with the

The French Everson feud in Ken
lucky that has broken out afresh and re-
corded another lot of assassinations to the
discredit of the State, suggests the
thought that in all these family and clan
feud cases, which it would seem Ken
lucky is unable to suppress, it would be
wisdom to provide by legi station for
rounding up all hands on both sides,
placing them in battle array in suitable
inclosure, and let them fight it out, even
to determination. This is not inhuman.
These clans viii fight, and the laws ap-
pear powerless to prevent the conflicts;
the present system of the warfare is am
bushing and assassination, banging away
in courtrooms and upon public streets,
with the result of annually bIotting out a
lot ofinnocent people who have nothing to
do with the feuds. 1t would be infinitely
better to permit these assassins to kill
one another, under conditions that will
not involve the safety of innocent people,
who really have some rights in the
premises.

PROFESSOR SWING, whose death we re-
corded in these columns only the other
day, had not only the courage to speak
his convictions, but the happiest of facul-
ties in presenting the truth in the most
incisive form. 1t was Professor Swing,
who, in the midst of the late boycott
strike in Chicago, said from his pulpit,
that there is less hostility between capital
and labor than between labor and capital.
Where capital objects to one bill pre-
sented by labor, labor objects to twenty
presented by its own. Where capital
once buys the cheaper article at the ex-
pense of labor, the latter oppresses its
own by buying the articles that represent
labor's degradation and wage-lowering.
This was not said, nor is it quoted in an
tagonism to labor; on the contrary, labor
never had better friend than Swing, nor
one bolder and wiser in its behalf, for he
was just man and fearless. Nor have
we any other than the best interests of
wage -earners in view in everything re-
lating to labor that we place in these coll
umns. But we quote Swing as enunciat-
ing what we all know to be verify. Labor
must stand true to profession if it is to
command attention for it's complaints
against capital.
The record-union., 1894-10-20

The movement to organize for the
roads and improving streets and alleys
in this city and county is not as active as
it should be. Here is an opportunity for
capital to well reward itself, and at the
same time enable the people to secure the
best possible material for surfacing roads
and streets, and for use as grouting and
similar purposes, at very little above
half the cost to them now of road metal
OF inferior quality. There is plenty of
cobble-enough for hundred years-at
Natoma, of true trap rock order, which
crushed makes the ideal road metal. The
upland and redland cobble is of lava
formation, soon disintegrates and is alb
solutely worthless. Some of it has
been used in work in this city,
What Sacramento wants from this time
on is the best material, and it is at our
doors if we will but organize and i'm
prove the opportunity. Power is offered
at low rate from the Folsom power
plant, and the haul to the city is short
Here then is opportunity to procure at
smallest cost the very best road metal,
for which there is a good market and
will be better one the moment the price
per cubic yard is brought down. To
neglect this industry that is so closely
relsted to city and county prosperity is
upwise. It is to be hoped that the
snggestors of the plan will not weary and
sbandon it. It is of highest Importance
to this city and county, and if carried out
means a new industry OF high value and
great beneficence.

Warm Words Between Preacher Bane
ana a Deputy Clerk.
Some very pointed correspondence has
been going on through the Oakland papers
between Deputy County Clerk Sturtevant
of Alameda and Rev. a. c. Bane of Los
Angeles, formerly pastor of the NJ. e.
Church South of this city
Recently he went to Los Angeles to re-
side, and wrote to the County Clerk of
Alameda for registration transfer He
failed TO name the precinct in which he
had lived and voted while in Oakland, SO
the clerk notified Bane that he could not
make out the transfer until he (Bane) sup
Piled the necessary information.
Then the preacher got warm, and he
wrote the clerk a very sharp letter In
which he accused that official of trying to
prevent him from registering in Los 4 n
geles in time to vote at the coming elec-
ton, and said he would publish the clerk
to the State. The reverend gentleman
did not neglect this time, however, to
forward the information as 10 his former
place OF residence and voting precinct.
Deputy Sturtevant then promptly for
warded the desired transfer, but he sent a
little note with it in which he said:
''You can publish this to the State if
you see fit. The State probably cares as
much about you and your blab as / do.
AS for your being Democrat, there are
very good men who are Democrats for
whom / have respect. But you would
disgrace any political party, judging from
your insulting letter."
Those who know Rev. Bane know him
to be a plucky individual, and of a some
what pugnacious, fight-back tempera-
ment, and they are awaiting with inter-
est his reply to Deputy Sturtevant.
