A FRIEND OF LABOR
Judge Caldwell Also Favors Un-
limited Coinage.
SHOULD LET FINANCE BE FREE
Our Nation Must Regulate Its Affairs OF
That Nature or Become Mere
Dependency.

Denver. May 16.-Hon. Henry Cald-
well. Junior United States circuit Judge
for the Eighth judicial district, who was
made district Judge first by President
Grant and promoted to the circuit judg-
ship by President Harrison, wrote let
ter under date of st. Louis, April 30,
to an old army friend now In Denver
In which. among other subjects. he
speaks freely and frankly upon the sill
yer question. The letter was written
without any supposition that any part
of 1t would be given to the public, but
the friend to whom 1t was written. who
Is an ardent silver man, assumes the
privilege, for the sake of the good cause,
to make public a part of what the
Judge writes about silver.
Judge Caldwelrs utterances are bold,
clear and unequivocal. The following
Is from the letter:
The country Is about entering upon
another struggle for the protection of
rights and the promotion of interests
of the laborer and producer, which in
my judgment is of even more moment
than the first. I have been surprised
that the issue has been so long delayed.
'hc hSHt Ou6ul u nave DeeH IOTCeQ
years ago on the line of absolute and
unqualified free coingage of gold and
silver at the ratio of 16 to /, without
regard to the action of England or any
other foreign power.
IF we are to be subservient to Eng
land in our financial policy, why not in
other matters? The financial policy of
a nation determines it's strength and
prosperity, and the nation which con-
sents that another and competing ma
ton may regulate its financial policy
Will find its producers impoverished and
Its industries destroyed, and the nation
Itself will soon be little more than q
mere dependency of the power to which
1t surrendered its most vital function.
Ii we are not capable and able to MAIN
tain our own financial policy, we ought
to haul down old Glory which you
fought so CALAMITY to uphold, and turn
the government over to Queen Victoria,
or ask Canada to annex us. The presi-
dent has thrown down the gage of bat
tie. / trust the silver men in all parties
and everywhere will take it up. am
happy in the belief that the platforms
that mean anything or nothing on the
silver question will in the future go for
nothing with the members of all par
ties. The people have been deluded and
deceived until their eyes are open. There
has sprung up among them that hostil-
lty to such platforms which the empty
and perfidious hypocrisy OF set phrases
never falls in the end to inspire"

A Train Load of Sweetness.

To the firm of B. l.. Gordon & Co., of
Spokane, belongs the credit for making
this week the largest single shipment
by any firm in the Pacific northwest. The
shipment consists of IL carloads of dry
granulated sugar, the invoice value being
$4,000. The Western Sugar Refinery Co.,
of San Francisco, secured the order, and
the Great Northern railway, through its
local representative, the routing from Sc
attic. AS Spokane is comparatively a
young jobbing city, she is to be congratu-
lated that her distributing business re,
quires such large consignments, and the
above named firm is entitled to great
credit for its enterprise. as it is the young
est in business here. .It is also good evil
dence that the freight rates designed to
increase the territory of Portland job
bers have not made such serious inroads
as anticipated.

here that Chairman Henrichsen of the
democratic state committee has a let
ter from Senator Hill of New York to

Lady Members of Emanuel Church Have
Damaging testimony.
San Francisco, May 16.-The police are
said to have several new witnesses who
will testify against Theodore Durrant
at his forthcoming trial in the superior
court.
One of these. Miss Willis, will say
that some time before Blanche Lamont's
murder, Miss. Willis asked Durrant in
his capacity of church librarian for
book from the church library. He es-
corted her thither, left the room few
minutes and returned entirely nude.
The young woman made her escape
with difficulty. Similar conduct would
explain the absence of bloodstains on
Durrant's clothing after Minnie Will
Jams was murdered.

silver and driving 1t out as a currency,
the purchasing power of gold is in

conditions under which Christian can re-
ceive and enjoy the blessings of the Cos
pei. There was an animated and amicable
discussion on this subject, which is one
upon which the Lutheran creed is most
emphatic.
The following gentlemen were the CHIEF
debaters: G. Runkel of Los Angeles, Rev.
}. W. Theip of Santa Rosa, Rev. J. Kogle1
OF Orange, Rev. Mr.. Paul of Cornelius, Or,
Rev: Mr.. Hoernicke of Fresno. G.. Thesis OF
Oakland, Rev. ]. Jacobson of Dixon.
The trend of all the discussion on the
sixth thesis was that personal merit could
not be regarded as any equivalent for the
gift OF grace, repentance and active faith
being what is required.
In the discussion on the seventh thesis
the unanimous conclusion arrived at was
that while we ascribe to man as an in
telleceual being great capabilities and
great achievements in material things we
deny that in his natural condition he has
any spiritual powers"
The two reports which were laid on the
table at the beginning of the morning ses-
sion will probably be taken up for action
to-day. They consisted of the report OF
the committee on candidates for admission
as members of the synod, and of the COM
mlttee on the church paper, the Luther
ische Botschafter. This journal has been
generally regarded as the publication OF
the synod, though as q matter of fact it
has been published by private enterprise,
in the interests, however, of the Lutheran
church. The general desire is that the
synod should undertake active relations
with the paper.
The report of the Board of Missions en-
tirely occupied the afternoon session. 1t
was resolved to assist in the erection of a
church at Carson Valley and the board was
authorized to name the amount which it
might consider necessary to add to the
$1,000 already raised by the congregation
there. Rev. ]. Becker is the pastor of the
Carson Valley flock. 1t was announced
that Rev. M. Boade, the Lutheran clergy
man at Seattle, and Rev. F. Verwiebe of
Spokane had both resigned their pastor
ates and gone East. The board was author
lied to appoint successors, as both Seattle
and Spokane are still missionary churches
and, therefore, subject to the jurisdiction
of the board.
BY unanimous consent of the synod it
was decided that to pay periodical mis-
sionary visits to Idaho was more than any
missionary at Spokane could be expected
to accomplish as well as attending to his
duties in Washington. 1t was therefore
resolved to request the Montana synod to
supply the Idaho field with missionary.
The question of erecting a Lutheran
church at San Diego was discussed. but
action in the matter was deferred till

another Chinese were standing ct the corner
OF Baker and Sullivan alleys with small dog.
Look Won set the dog on zee boo Foo and he
kicked it. Look Won said 'If you kick that
dog will kill you," and at the same time he
fired two shots at zee Doc Foo. Look Won ran
into the store on the corner, and kept him in
view till the officers came and pointed him
out to them. The other man ran into Sulli-
van alley, with the dog after him. After being
shot zee Doc Foo ran for about twenty yards
into the doorway of the house on Baker alley,
where he fell.
All Tan, 9 Sullivan alley, the owner of
the dog, was also taken to the City Prison.
He said he always kept the dog chained
and did not know who had unclaimed it
and taken it into the alley. He heard the
shots, and went downstairs, where he
found his dog.
The witness to the shooting could not
identity All Tan as Look Won's compan-
ion, and he was not positive about the dog,
although it was about the same size.
The police made a careful search of 9
Sullivan alley, which is private lodging
house where Look Won lived, and the
store on the corner, but they failed to find

Shortly after o'clock the officers ana
special watchmen on duty in the vicinity
were startled by hearing two pisto! shots
in rapid succession from the direction OF

Reardon was standing on the corner or
Pacific and Dupont streets, and hurried TO

found the man who was shot In doorway

taken before him for identification, but ne

The body was taken to the Morgue.
The murderer, whose name is Look Won,
was taken to the City Prison, and yester-
day afternoon was booked by Sergeant
Shea and Policeman Reardon on the charge
of murder. The police believe that he is a
highlander.
