CARSON MINT SCANDAL.
The Conviction of Heney Causes Con-
sternation Among Other Suspects.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. pa Call"
special from Carson, New, says: The
conviction of Heney has caused great
CONSERVATION among the other mint
suspects. 1t was apparent throughout
the trial of the case that extraneous
evidence was being used to help Jones
in his fight Heney's friends say that
he was slaughtered to save other people,
and now they insist that he tell all he
knows. If he does, many whose faces
during the past few weeks have told
how they felt inside will go to the block.
Carson people are indignant that her
police officers have been dragged into
the bribery of the defense, and since the
Government has begun to drive the
wedge home with the conviction of
Heney, the opinion now is that the pros
ecution will not rest until the last man
interested in the mint thievery is be-
hind the bars.
1t is the general belief that the rob-
blng of depositoIa has been going on for
years, and mining men are now compar-
ing notes and are finding out how svs-
tematically they have been robbed.
Some claim that the general toll ex
tracted on depositor bullion was from
~ to 10 per oent.
The officials are now probing the
appearance of $4,000 new dollars in
the State Treasury, and will take Off
ciai action The men implicated in the
running of witnesses out of the State
VIII be prosecuted at an early date.
Heney was visited by his wife in the
Jail last night, but nothing is known
OF the result of their conferences. All
his property is in her hands 1t is the
opinion Of those who know Heney that
he will take his medicine and not open
his mouth on Tuesday next.
Another theory is that he really
knows nothing, but was stealing inde-
pendently, taking with spoon. while
others were using a dipper, as he was
not the sort of man likely to be taken
into a combine of that sort.

VOICE OF THE PRESS
Expressions From the Newspapers of
Interior California.

Interior California.
Red Bluff Peoples Cause: 1t is
time the people of this country ex-
pressed themselves against any further
Issuance of United States bonds. If the
countrys revenue be insufficient to
meet the expenses, instead of borrowing
money to cover the deficit, it should re-
store duties on foreign goods to meet
the demands or cut down the expenses
to meet the revenue. 1t is a sad spec
tacle for a country with the power and
resources of the United States to be bor-
rowing money in times of peace and
prosperity and the people should de-
clare against it by voice and petition
and through the public press.
THE RIGHT RING.
Alameda Encinal: The country was
thrilled yesterday by the message sent
to Congress by Secretary of State Oh
ney, which he had induced Cleveland
to sign, by what arts Heaven only
knowsl For the first time since it's in
auguration a popular chord has been
touched by this Administration.
AMERICAN SPIRIT.
Redding Free Press: The patriotic
spirit which the President displays in
his last message to Congress is worthy
of commendation, as it is somewhat
unexpected. 1t proves that Cleveland
with all his faults is imbued with the
American spirit, and he will receive
the applause OF the people for his ac-
tion. No matter how widely parties
may differ on matters of public policy;
no matter how intense partisanship
and sectional feeling may become, after
all it is America against the world,
ard a united people in zealously guard
ing American interests. All praise to
our Presidenr.
THE CHANGERS BANK.
Colusa Sun: The facility with which
money may be borrowed is not an un-
mixed good-to \he borrower. 1t stimu-
lates enterprise it booms things, but
there is not one borrower in fifty who
realizes his expectations. To be able to
borrow money often prevents loss, but
the farmers would have been better off
if they had not had so many opportu-
mites to borrow. They borrowed to
speculate in wheat, to speculate in land,
and both went down. While the bor-
rover pushes the country ahead, while
! it is fact that nearly all the great en-
| terprises have been undertaken and
carried through on borrowed money,
the borrower who follows 1t up gener-
ally comes TO grief. Interest is invari-
ably in advance of the business, or the
/ speculation, of country.

DAYTON (Wash), Dec. pa re-
markable story comes from Pomeroy
Wash, where Henry Meyers was re-
Gently hanged for murder. After being
pronounced dead by physicians, the
body was turned over to an old German
friend of the murderer, who by means
of simple restoratives revived the Of
ficially dead man. Three reputable
residents of Pomeroy assert that they
have personally conversed with Meyers
within the past week, and that he is
now hiding from the authorities and will
shortly be taken out of the country.
County officials declare that Meyers
body was inferred in the pOtters field.
An official investigation will immedi-
ately be inaugurated.

other things said:
"Criticise Grover Cleveland as we
may, manlier. truer, braver, more
loyal President never sat in the White

G0.000,0 600 as brave patriots as ever
