Mr.. cLEvELAnD.s LETTER.

An Indiana Man Takes Exceptions to .
Part OF 1t.
The extract from President Glove
lands letter to Gov. Stone, which you
keep standing in the Sentinel columns,
it seems to me is misleading. It is an
assumption that we are where we have
always been financially. He says: II
we should be forced away from our ira
ditional doctrine of sound money etc.
Why this question? When all the world
knows we have already been forced
away from a safe and sound money by
the discrimination against silver and
the adoption of gold standard.
When did the fathers of the country
do this thing? Never! The silver dol
lar was of equal value with the gold
one until it was demonetized in 1874
1t is just as valuable to-day as ever.
But the gold dollar has appreciated in
value to the extent that has risen be-
tween the two coins Sound and safe
money consisted of gold and silver
coins of equal value at the ratio OF
coinage. 151l to 1. Is it so to-day?
Who is responsible for such a thing
as gold bond with interest payable
in gold coin? Is it not fact to-day
that we have no sound and safe money;
j. e., no money with a fixed value as
measured by the products of labor? Is
it not historical fact that for twenty
years the purchasing power of gold has
been Increasing, and all things dimin-
ishing in value as measured by the gold
standard? Is ten dimes a dollar to-day
for the payment of government bond?
Is ten dollars in silver to-day an eagle
in the payment of interest on that
bond? Why not? For the sole reason
that we have been forced by laws away
from our traditional doctrine, that ten
dimes make dollar and ten dollars
one eagle in the payment of national
Indebtedness. That is just where the
trouble is, because of this departure
from the time-honored and traditional
doctrines and policy of Jefferson and
Jackson.
The debtor class in this country have
been, and are being robbed of their
labor and their homes by this constant
increase in the purchasing power Of
our gold dollar-and it seems there is
only one way out of this great wrong
and the oppression of the laboring
millions-a speedy return to an honest
and stable currency, in gold and silver,
whose value shall be fixed by law and
not subject to the control and dictates
of money kings of the world, circu-
lating medium for the people of these
United States, and for their comfort
and convenience, without regard to the
wishes of England, Germany or any
other people on earth.-knightstow

The Hohenzollern at 4 o'clock cut the

cheer.
Five minutes later the vessel had
steamed up to the locks, which she en-

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

J. Waldo Kirk, who is at the Palace, has
gained considerable celebrity along the coast
the "King of the dudes" But that title is
misleading and does the gentleman an injus-
tice. Mr.. Kirk is unquestionably a man of
taste in his dress, but the individual who
reckons that this gentleman's time is chiefly
consumed in personal adornment shoots wide
of the mark, for Mr.. Kirk is, in a way, a genius.
In the business world he is known as the repre-
sentative of a large manufacturing house. but
in his idle moments he has found time to
evolve some curious schemes wherewith to
allure few honest dollars
He has, for instance, invented g combination
cane and umbrella which is decidedly UNIQUE
The two parts are separate, and the latter,
when folded, fits nicely into the former which
is hollow. The cane forms the handle when
used as an umbrella, and the two parts join to-
gether by peculiar device. The invention
possesses sufficient merit to have attracted the
support of John D. Rockefeller, the Standard
Oil magnate, who has supplied the necessary
capital to manufacture it.
few years ago, when Kansas City was in
the midst of phenomenal boom, and when
the enthusiasts there proclaimed that the town
was destined TO be a second Chicago, Mr.. Kirk
mortgaged all his earthly possessions and in

COME TO SEE Us.

Now that the passage of the year has
brought us near to the outing season and
the thoughts of all incline to holidays, we
invite the attention of our friends of the
interior to the City as a place of holiday
resort.
1t is an old familiar custom for City peo-
pie to go to the country in the spring in
search of fresh pleasures amid the meadows
and the orchards, but it has been generally
overlooked that it would be equally bene-
fetal to country people to come to the
City. San Francisco has more varied
charms than any mountain slope or any
beach by the sea. Nearly all that there is
in mountain and sea are hers, and there is
much besides. Here the visitor can find a
picturesque diversity of art as well as
nature to delight his eye, please his fancy
and instruct his mind.
We invite the people of the interior to
come to the City to see it's stately architec-
tural piles, to take the ride along the
shores of the Golden Gate to the cliffs, to
wander happy day away amid the varied
delights of the park, to ascend the Twin
Peaks and overlook the wonderful PIANO,
rama that spreads around, to visit the Pre-,
sidio and AlcatraZ to make the tour around
the bay, or in any of dozen other ways
and places seek out the notable points OF
the City and enjoy the aspects of beauty
they afford.
All Californians should see San Fran.
cisco. All Native Sons should know it as
the Frenchman knows Paris. as the Ital-
ian knows Rome. 1t should be matter Of
patriotic pride to be familiar with its his
tory and to note its growth. Every land
mark in it from the seawall by the quiet
bay to the cliffs where the ocean surgeS
beat should be considered as a part of the
common possession of all Californians and
a source of as much enjoyment to them as
Yosemite or Tahoe.
1t is not too much to say San Francisco
is perpetual fiesta. Here there are always
flowers and music and crowds. The natu-
raj beauty of ocean and park delight by
day and the brilliant theaters attract by
night. Life pulsates rapidly here. Sensa.
tons follow one another fast and stimulate
the incessant occurrence of new emotions
The mountaineer and the dweller on the
plains will find in the novelty of the swiftly
changing excitements of the city an inspir,
alton to a fuller intellectual life and a
broader conception of the possibilities Of
human achievement.
Here, therefore, should all the people Of
the interior come for their spring holidays
and summer outings as well as for bust
ness and trade. The City has abundant
welcome for every visitor. 1t has some.
thing for all that will repay their coming

was used to tie the latter to the main line just
under the front part of the lower kite Alto
gether only about 200 feet of limo was required.
Each kite flew at angle OF about Is deg.
with the horizon, and the outermost three
fourths of the rope rose at an angle OF nearly
or quite go deg. with the same plane.
Now, when the largest kite was coupled on
and had gotten out only about six feet from it's
anchorage, Mr.. Hargrave hitched thereto a
sling seat, got into it himself, and instructed
his assistant to slacken away slowly. After
forty-two feet of line were out the last opera
ton was stopped. The daring investigator
then found himself suspended about sixteen
feet above the earth's surface. His weight was
sufficient TO bring the section of rope between
him and the ground down TO an angle of about
80 deg. with the horizon; and to maintain
even that it was necessary that the wind
should blow at the rate of eighteen or twenty
miles an hour. If it slackened, he sank; if it
freshened, he rose. But though he made sew
eral ascents, he was always able to alight
gently, and the kites themselves were very
stable; the longitudinal strain on the rope, as
measured by spring balance close to the an
chorage, varied from 100 TO $40 pounds, while
the weight sustained vertically was 20S pounds
altogether. The four kites weighed thirty-five
pounds, the line, seat and tackle seven, and
Mr.. Hargrave himself 166. With q winch at
tached to the sling seat the investigator thinks
that he could have pulled himself down and
let himself out easily without aid. He con-
siders it demonstrated, then, chat an ex-
tremely simple and compact apparatus can be
made, carried about and flown by one man,
and that safe means of making an ascent
with fying-machine, of trying the same
without any risk of accident and descending,
is now at the service of any experimenter who
wishes to use it."

A SERMON IN A WILL.

The will which man leaves may be
safely taken as an exposition of his char
acter and as an index to the business ways
OF his life. In sharp contrast to the late
James G. Fairs will with all it's evidences
OF cynicism, suspicion, possibly revenge,
and certainly small respect for the law and
for the integrity of the courts, is the will
OF Alfred Barstow, an Oakland lawyer who
recently died. 1t is true that he left an
estate of only $50, 900, which looks insignif-
cant in comparison with Mr. Fairs, but that
makes no difference when we analyze the
essentials. Mr.. Barstow was a kindly.
modest, generous man of more than ordi-
nary ability. His home life was ideal for
its sweetness, harmony and comfort, and
the high worth of the parents and of the
home which they made is generously re-
fected in that Of their children. But it is

him seriously to the following extent: "The

ing over the country with copy for book of
scurrilous assaults upon the so-called society of

assumed that Chambliss is inspired by chagrin
or other unworthy motive. His vituperation
of private life in San Francisco contributes
nothing to civilization, and reflects most
seriously upon himself"
