A Happy Event.

During the civil war no one in Califor-
MIA was more outspoken in his denuncia-
ton of the north. and in expressing his
sympathies for the south, than Charlie
Fairfax of the old Virginia family said
City Attorney Cresswell to a San Fran
cisco Post reporter. "At that time no
man in California was more popular so no
attention was paid to him. While other
men were not half so demonstrative or out
spoken as Charlie were landed at Alcatraz
as federal prisoners, he was only laughed
at.
when Col. Baker was buried an i'm
mense concourse followed the body to the
cemetery, and prominent in the line was
Charhe FAIRFAX. He walked all the way
out over the sand hills, and all the way
back, and in those days it VS. a very long
and tiresome walk. He was standing on
Montgomery street. wiping his perspfrine,
blow, when couple of well known husi-
ness men and northern sympathizers, who
had also attended the funeral walked IN
and extended their hands.
Charlie" remarked one, I'VE want IN
shake hands with you, for you are a no.
bic man. Any one of your weIIknown
preJudlces who can lay aside all feeling
and do honor to a great man because he
was great even though you considered
him an enemy has our respect"
What do you mean?' asked Fairfax
in a perpleXed way.
Why, We saw you following the re-
mains of Col. Baker to their last resting
place. and Il does you honor"
"Oh, yes, remarked Charlie cheerfuly.
ia IKE to attend funeral like that
every day"
If any one other than Charlie Fairfax
had made that remark he would have been
in Alcatraz before night. AS it was. every
one in San Francisco repeated 1t as Fair
faXS latest joke.

The sugar planters of Louisiana are in

about to adopt the new tariff bill the
sugar planters told pitiful tale of woe,
to the effect that they would be ruined
by the taking away of the bounty unless
a protective tariff, was put on sug ,r
Nevertheless the New Orleans Picayune
reports that the sugar men are going into
cane planting upon a larger scale than
ever before, that they are putting into
their mills new machinery, and that en-
the line of the Mississippi Valley railroad
there is being built a large central mill
capable of grinding 1900 tons of cane a
day. This central mill will purchase all
of the cane grown along the Mississippi
Valley railroad between the cities of
New Orleans and Baton Rouge. The care
producing of Louisiana is estimated
to be about one-third under cultivation
and the reason the remaining two-thirds
are not cultivated, according to the Pic
ayune. is the lack of milling capacity.
The needed mills will be supplied gradual

A Wise Man.

Col. Isaac Hin. veteran democrat Of
Ohio and a member of the state demo-
cratic committee of that state, has
very interesting interview in Tuesdays
Washington Post. Col Hill told the Post
why he has ceased to be a silverite and
is now an out and out gold standard
democrat. He said he attended a meeting
of the Ohio state democratic
central committee few days
ago, expecting that a major
ity of the committee would be in favor OF
free coinage of silver. He was surprised
10 find that of the twenty-one members
present, only four were silverites, when
there ought to have been fourteen. That
he was astonished is putting 1t quite mild.
Col. Hill was asked by the Post report
er if he was now for gold. He answered
in his characteristic style. as follows:
Il am. Your Uncle Isaac Hill will here
after be for that Jaundiced currency.
Why, what's the use?
"And look at Kentucky. ] saw Sena-
tor Pugh since 1 returned and he said,
speaking of Kentucky: Don't mind Ken
lucky, Ike. That little wrestle between
gold and silver didn't decide anything.
1t was only a dog fall
Dog fall!' continued Col. HILL a trife
wildly; dog fall! Senator Pugh may be
able to call that cataclysm in politics a
dog fall; but to my mind you might as
well call the fall of Caesar a dog fail
When they turn down such men as Joe
Blackburn, your Uncle Ike can see the
handwriting on the wall without an
opera glass. l know when to put up an
umbrella as well as any man in Licking
county, and you listen sharp for I'm GO
ing to moderate my voice; From now on
I'm a gold bug from withers to hook
1t is quite evident that Col. Isaac Pill
is a thorough convert. He's a democrat,
and he's going to stand squarely with the
Democratic party, and the Democratic
party is going to stand squarely for hon
est money.

minded men change their opinions on
public questions quite frequently. par
ticularIy when the conditions by which
these questions are affected change.
But, if Mr.. Bryan holds that a man
who has oEce taken a position on the
silver question is discredited If he doesn't
forever after hold to that position, why
doesn't he tell his audiences that they
ought to have no confidence in what
Senator Stewart, the chief OF the silver
ties, says? Senator Stewart voted for
and spoke in favor of the act OF 1873, By
which the coinage of the silver dollar
was stopped, and which the silverites
call a great crime. II Mr.. Bryan is anx-
ious TO be entirely fair why doesn't he
point out the fact that Senator Stewart,
who is now a leading silverlte, was in
1873 an earnest advocate of the gold stand
ard? And, in pointing this out, he might
say that while Mr.. Carlisle is a poor
man, and therefore has nothing to gain
by advocating the gold standard. Sena-
tor Stewart is a rich silver mine owner,
and would be greatly benefited If he could
pay the laborers in his mines in debased
silver dollars. We are inclined to think
that Mr.. Bryan is not quite as frank as
he ought to be.
