EVER since the campaign opened
the Dispatch has beeh very much ex
erclsed over the management OF the
populist campaign, and now gets wor-
ried over the nomination papers filed
by the populst committee. As usual
it gets all mixed up, and founders
through a column or more Of rot
The populist filed their nominating
papers more than sixty days before
the day of election, which was con-
trary to law. This was discovered,
and new papers were filed. The
chairman of the peoples party suR-
gested that as the first papers were
worthless he would take them away,
but as Mr.. hickey said that they were
files of the Office, did not do so.
There IS a question all over the state
regarding the place Of holding the
convention that nominated the COM
missioner. No less an authority than
the Capital said that the convention
should be held at some point in the
district for which a man was candi-
date, and in many counties this was
done, Shawanee, and Norton for in
stance, and as the questions was not
settled one petitions were circulated
not by Brainerd, but by residents of
the townships, and it WAS not done on
Sunday either. At no time were the
populists in danger of losing their
nomination for commissioner, but Ia
bored under the disadvantage Of hav-
ing every move passed upon by polit.
ical and personally interested oppon-
ents, who may not always be right in
their rulings. By the way some day
the Dispatch man will get that Sun
day business back right square in the
neck.

A correspondent asks the followiD

A correspondent asks the following
pertinent questions;
II you are in favor of building up
home industries why do you oppose
the silver industry And why do you
uphold a money for buying the manu-
featured articles abroad?
If free coinage of silver will drive
the gold all ont Of the country, why
is it that bonds have been resorted to,
to hold it since the repeal of the
Sherman law?
Why do you blame Cleveland's ad-
minlstration as beng the cause of all
depression of finance, and expect to
redeem it with a class of men who
uphold his monetary system?
Why do men talk so cent dollars
when they will buy as many provis-
ions and pay rs much debt as any
other kind of dollarl
And II Legislative action has moth
ing to dD with The value of bullion
why was it that silver dropped Sc
cents Immediately after the repeal Of
the Sherman law?
One who forsakes his principles
and works for the enemy because he
is little sore is the worst kind OF q
traitor and should have no more in
huence.

populists agree, upon the tariff and
income tax measures they voted to-
gether in congress, and as the repub-
licans claim the tariff to be the only
issue these two parties can affiliate
upon that issue. The great mass OF
western democrats believe in the free
coinage Of silver upon the lines OF the
popullst belief, and are much nearer
in sympathy with the populist party
than are the members Of the other
parties.
LAYING aside local matters and
getting down to the questions that
should be Of interest we will now give
some other reasons why the peoples
should have your vote, II you be
lleve that Legislation at all affects
your conditions you must, il You are
honest, and the great masses are,
though possibly blinded, admit that
almost all Of the Legislation OF the
country has been enacted by the re-
publican party, so If Legislation is at
all responsible for the present deplor-
able conditions, that party should no
longer have any claim upon you
True the democrats are now in power
but no reasonable man could expect
that at one session Of congress they
can make right the wrongs Of thirty
years.
II you believe that our financial
system is wrong, and that the condi-
ton under which we live is due to
that system, how can you vote to per-
petuate party that has created the
the laws under which we simply ex-
list.
If you believe the transportation
question to be a factor in your de-
preston and generally hard up con-
ditiou, you surely can get no relief
from an organization that has for years
had an opportunity to give aid and
failed.
The peoples party believes that
our troubles come from wrong laws
upon the finance and transportation
questions. The party believes that.
with free coinage Of silver and gov
ernmental ownership of railroads,
conditions would be improved, and
that at least comfort would again en-
ter the homes Of the people.
A few good populists seem to think
that the defeat Of the populist party
this fall would be a good lesson to
some Of the leaders. Possibly so, but
would not q better plan be to elect
the ticket this fall, and then next fall
turn down those who are not doing as
they should. Defeat this fall would
dishearten many earnest workers.
The prospects for the election Of the
populist ticket are good, aa a careful
poll Of county gives us safe m0ion-
ty. There is not much else to be said.
Do NOT consider personalities but vote
for those men who are the nearest in
sympathy with you upon the ques-
lions that interest your welfare.

details necessary to place the road in
operation. The line will in all proba bility
be in working orderinside of two weeks.
The citizens of Richmond purpose call
ing public meeting soon TO take steps to-
ward properly celebrating this event. In
speaking of this matter yesterday T. G.
Parker said: The event of opening the
Sutro electric line will mark the most i'm
portant event of the year to the citizens of
this part OF San Francisco. The tide of
travel to the Cliff House being thus turned
in this direction will show the pub
lie the advantages of this point as a
residence portion of the City. This will be,
l anticipate, of the first value to this Sec
ton. The citizens all along the line of
road will, think. gladly join in contrib
uting literally to make the celebration one
long to be remem bered. The fireworks on
that occasion will be of the first order and
ample to make the Heights one blaze of
glory"
1t is expected that Warren & Malley,
who have the contract for grading the lot
of land lying between Eighth and Four
teenth avenues, A street and Golden Gate
Park, will soon begin that work.

STOCKTON STEAMER CHANGES.
The Steamer Lakme VIII Replace
the Humboldt on the Eureka
Route.

The Parker Transportation Company's
new steamer Fruitvale has departed for
her scene of labors. On Saturday last she
had her trial trip, and proved to be great
success. All kinds of sharp turns we're
made with her in shallow water, and she
was found up to all expectations.
The new steamer will run between Rio
Vista and Sacramento, and the steamers
of the California Transportation Com
pany will connect with the new line. The
steamers of the latter concern do not go
much beyond Rio Vista, and from there
passengers have to take a stage coach. The
advent of the Fruitvale will do away with
the stage coach, and thus add greatly to
the pleasure of trip to Sacramento by
steamer.
|. There were quite number of changes
on the Stockton steamers last week. Cap
tain Benson took command of the Mary
CARAT, and Captain Schiller was trans
ferred to the T. G. Walker. w. c. Wall,
the purser, was transferred from the T. c..
Walker to the J. D. Peters.
The bark Alden Bessie will sail for Port
Blakeley next Friday to load lumber for
Honolulu. Captain Potter says he ex-
poets to make the smartest run of the sea-
son, as his vessel is in fine order and ready
to sail race for cup Captain Potter is
paying the full rate of wages.
The steamer Homer is still on the dry
dock. She came into port with her crank
pin broken and it was thought that the re-
pairs to the machinery would be all that
was necessary. When the vessel came to
be floated off it was found that her rudder
was split and that new one would have
to be put in. This will cause delay of
several days.
The steamer Lakme, which arrived from
the Arctic last Tuesday, was chartered
yesterday by the owners of the steamer
Hum boldt, and will be put in commission
between Eureka and Arcata. AS soon as
the charter was signed the work of dis
charging the Arctic freight was hurried
and the work of remodellng the vessel
begun. Cabins will be built on the main
deck and the lower deck compartments be
thoroughly remodeled. The Lakme will
be a good substitute for the Humboldt
until the new steamer is built.
The British ship GaIena. which arrived
from Swansea yesterday, had q narrow
escape while rounding Cape Horn. When
in latitude 81 degrees south. longitude 81
degrees 80 minutes west, Captain Reid
found that he was next door neighbor to
an enormous iceberg. The ship was hove
to and placed under topsails until all dan
ger was past. While in the vicinity of the
berg several of the crew were badly FROST
bitten, as the weather turned exceedingly
cold.
The San Joaquin Valley road is losing
no time in its preparations for putting the
construction trains upon the road. Over
900 tons of coal will be taken out of the
British ship Lismore, now lying at Green
street wharf, and placed on the barge Hills
Ferry next Friday. Once the transfer is
made the steamer Leader will take the
barge in tow and pull it to Stockton.

THE ANGEL IS ATTACHED.
A Deputy Sheriff Captures the
Pigment Of Mr.. Wells
Fancy.
TROUBLES OF THE STATUE
Collector Kittredge Tells OF His Ex-
perience In Pursuing the
Sculptor.

An angel spread Its white wings over one
of Sheriff Whelan's deputies last night as
that limb of the law slumbered peacefully
in the storehouse of kriemer Brothers at
"a Jessie street. The angels plaster of
such surroundings, for it was attached
figure for the City Hall dome.
Mr.. Wells angel, unlike those of old,
was not warranted to go through fiery fur
naces unscathed. Conscious of this fact,
the sculptor succumbed to the wiles of an
insurance agent, and when he had put his
original clay image into plaster form, he
had the Patriotic Assurance Company
issue $500 policy for the protection of
his beloved statue.
The premium was $37 so. This Mr..
Wells neglected to pay as promptly as was
expected. The insurance agent had such
work finding the sculptor that he turned
the claim over TO Collector A. G. Kittredge.
Mr.. Kittredge had no better luck. So,
about three weeks ago, he brought suit
against Mr.. Wells in the Justices Court.
"Then my fun commenced" said Mr..
Kittredge last night. 1.-The papers told
about the suit, and this warned Wells, so
that when my man tried to serve the notice
of suit on him Wells wasn't anywhere to
be found. He lodged US for Ave days.
Then learned that he lived in Berkeley.
"My man went across the bay and
camped in front OF the sculptor's house all
night. A little after s in the morning
Wells came downstairs. My man was
overjoyed. He thought Wells was going
to the City ana would thus enable him to
serve the papers. Instead the sculptor
went to Oakland.
"Tired out and half starved, my man
followed him all about that town till 10
o'clock. Then Wells went back to Berke-
ley for lunch. Driven TO desperation the
poor watcher subsidized under a tree to wait
longer. He was famished, but he dared
not go for anything to eat lest Wells
should depart in the meanwhile.
Finally his vigil was rewarded. Mr..
Wells and his wife came out together and
headed for the depot. They took the local
train, but their shadow was not free from
anxiety till they boarded the ferry. AS
soon as the sculptor walked off the boat
and was we'll upon the soil of the City and
County of San Francisco the bearer of the
notice tapped his victim on the shoulder
and said:
Here are some papers for you, Mr..
Wells
"'oh, yes, said Wells, after he had
looked the notice over, shafts all right;
I'll be up and settle it in few days
Then he proffered the papers to the man,
who kindly advised him to keep them as
he might need them in his business
This was the beginning of Mr.. Wells
troubles. He had FIVE days in which to
answer the suit. AS he failed to make any
appearance at all Mr.. Kittredge was given
judgment by default.
But Mr.. Kittredge was still at loss
He did not know where to get his iudg-
ment satisfied. At last he decided to gar

There Is naturally much uncertainty in

of indefinite happenings is little trying
on nerves. Mr.. Kruttschnitt, being an

the great pianist became afflicted with
rheumatism, and went home without
coming West.
Last winter his manager, John G. Fryer,
again entered into correspondence with a
local firm, seeking to make satisfactory
agreement. Mr.. Fryer wanted the Grand
Opera-house, which had just been rented
by Walter Morosco, and was not to be had
He considered the seating capacity of the
Metropolitan Temple too small to insure
a sufficiently large house. His sine qua
non was that the house should be SO large
that the gross receipts might exceed $4,000
This would insure the great Polish artist
an addition of at least $500 to his bank
account for each concert. While the
advsability of the Metropolitan Temple
was being discussed, Paderewski decided
that he wanted to go home, and he sailed
for Europe on very short notice, oisap-
pointing the San Francisco managers a
second time.
This time there Is said to be no posi-
bility of slip. The concerts are to be
given at the California Theater after the

Paderewski is now in Germany. He
opens in New York shortly before the

creditors were anxious to learn where any
of his property is, so that they could at
tach it. Stockwell failed to remember
where he had any available assets located.
1t was thought that Managers ]. ]. Gott-
lob and NJ. Marx might know something
about the percentage or salary coming to
Stockwell from his work at the Colum bia
Theater. The managers were certain,
though, that Stockwell was getting barely
enough out of that venture to feed the
flesh on his bones.
All the witnesses examined were for
Stockwell, so the actor emerged from the
inquisition financial wreck, much to his
own satisfaction and the disgust of his
creditors.
He has promised some of them that he
will give them some money after his re-
turn from the south, and it looks very
much as if they would have to content
themselves with that promise.
