Lottery Clients-Juries Made Up
of PontiuS Pilates.

When the cases of All Wee, Ong Lee
and All Chow were called in the Police
Court yesterday, charged with selling
lottery tickets, w. A. Anderson, attorney
for the defense, was on the warpath. He
attempted to break down the testimony
of the arresting officers by rigid cross
examination, but made dismal failure
of it, as all that the officers-Who had
evidently been reading the statutes
would testify TO was that the captured
tickets purported to be chances or shares
in the drawing of money in lottery
The case was tried by the court. the de-
fense waiving jury after good look at
the men who composed it.
"How do you know this to be chance
or share in lottery? 1t may be a ticket
for supper ~ declared the attorney, as he
oXcltedly waved a piece of paper COW
cred with Chinese hieroglyphics in air.
Somebody told you so, and you get on
the stand and swear it is so. The fact
is, there has been an Internal sentiment
aroused IN this community, In the name OF
reform, and Cinnamon must be cinched,
whether there is evidence against them
or not!

police are ignorant of common decency
and the interests Of the public Burg
larry, murder and other crimes are going
Ou; but they are too busy pursuing the
Chinese to capture any other offenders ~
After a short breathing spell the Major
continued:

phatically remarked the attorney, as he
cast look in the direction OF Balif
Hardy that made that officials hair stand
on end. After a lengthy burst of lurid
eloquonce the Major subsided.
City Attorney Brown in opening his
remarks, said: The attorney on the other
side evidently realizes that Cinnamon de-
manded good talk for their money"
well, they got il 20 retorted the Ma
jor.
After hearing al the arguments Justice
Davis found all the defendants guilty,

The following appeared in the Sacramento

impossible to say who was guilty OF the

FT. BAYARD, N. NJ. April 4, '95.
Ed. SOUTHWEST SENTINEL:

EFT. BAYARD, n. M. April 4, 10.
Ed. SOUTHWEST SENTINEL:
A very curious phenomenon of
the position taken by the gold
man is his constant contention
that gold has its own intrinsic val
ne, never for a moment allows
that that this value is due to gov
ernmental fiat but even contends
that it IS not just that silver should
not be used to pay debts, nor to
give silver a value by government
tai fiat. What is the real secret
Of the value Of gold? There are
two demands on gold; one from
the mints and one from the COM
mercial world. The demand from
the minis is due to the fact that
the governmental fat has decreed
that % grains Of gold shall be the
unit and that this unit shall be a
dollar. That the circulating me-
dium shall be coins made of stand
ard gold of 50, $3.50, So, $40 ard
$40, each to be a multiple Of the
unit to suit its own denomination.
All of the silver, nickel and cop
per coins are simply promises to
pay 80 many grains of gold. The
notes carry this promise to pay on
their face. 1t is commonly said
that gold does not vary in price.
How can it vary in price when it
is the unit of values from which
the price Of everything else is cal
culated? That it does vary in
price is evident to any one who
viii watch the variations of the
markets. Let money get scarce
and the price Of everything goes
to bed rock where the actual val
ues lay. What are these actual
values? They are what people are
willing 10 exchange the products
of their labor for expressed in the
unit Of value, % grains of gold.
The government has simply by its
fat set the unit; it does not nor
can it in any other way give value
to the commodities on the market.
except the one which it uses in
large quantity, namely, the money
metals, for the instant that it
makes any one metal its unit to
.calculate other metals from and
opens the minis to take all Of it
that comes, agreeing to pay out
coin of a certain definite number
units for a certain definite
weight Of the metal, It at once en-
ters the commercial world and, so
to speak, corners the market on
these metals aud renders them in
greater demand, and in con-
sequence they can be exchanged
for a larger amount Of other arti
cles which are not so cornerod.
In other words, the price goes up.

longing to the Territory. Every
dollar that is due this County is
needed as a means Of dischorging
current expenses and lquidatng
interest and bonded indebtedness.
In cases OF taxes on personal prop
erty where the owners have dis
posed Of the same or removed
from the County, the amounts
should be stricken from the rolls;
where values have so drunken as
to render collection through sale
impossible, the taxes should be
rebated; where erroneous ASSESS
ments have been made they should
be corrected, and where the taxes
levied are legal nnd Legitimate
they should be collected without
delay. To say the least it indi-
Gates a very reckless system Of
f%nanciering to allow the taxes of
the County to fall into the condi-
ton they have. All the taxes due
Grant County are represented as
among her available assets, and
should be converted into money or
stricken from the rolls.
