ever to do with it. There is not even SEM
blance of the well-known fueds in the
present instance, but the law of an eye for
an eye and tooth for tooth is being
enforced. 1t is question of clan against
clan, which the police consider all the
more perilous.
Nearly all the Chinese in California are
Cantonese. The Sam Yups are financially
the most powerful company, but the See
Yups have the numbers. The latter are
composed of the Ming Yuens from the Sun
Ming district, the Kwong Chows from the
Sun Wal district, the Hop Wos from the
Hoy Peng district and the Shuey Kings
from Yen Peng district. The two latter
were formerly one company, but recently
they have split and formed two societies.
Besides these there are two other societies
in one combination called the Young Wo
and Yen Wo. These are in no way
identified with the fight, SO that in reality
it is war to the death between the Sam
Yups and the See Yups.
The peculiar part of the whole matter is
that neither Nook Tai, the man accused Of
murder, and Chong Wal, who was shot,
are of any consequence. The former
was a servant for a family in the Mission,
while the latter was cook. The clans
took it up, however, the Consul General
was drawn into it, household was arrayed
against household and all Chinatown
settled into a state of armed neutrality.
The fight broke out last Wednesday
night, but Sergeant Shea and his posse
aided by the reinforcement sent down by
Chief Crowley has been able TO keep the
mob in control.
Chief Crowley detailed extra men to
serve in Chinatown, and when they ar
rived Sergeant Shea placed man on every
street corner.

AT METER RATES.
The City of Alameda in Difficulty Over
Electric-Light Charges.

ElcCtTIC-hlSht SAafScss
Additional trouble with the municipal
electric-light plant is being experienced in
Alameda on account of difficulty in regu-
lating the charges. No adequate record OF
the past five or six months, covering the
entire period of the enterprise, has been
kept, and the time of the beginning of ac-
counts has necessarily been left mainly to
the statements of the patrons.
]. j. Balentine, who has been adjusting
the affairs in connection with the plant,
saws that many of the patrons insist on
having meters, and the providing of these
will prove an important additional ex-
pense. The meters cost $12 each, and some
of the patrons have demonstrated that
their meter rates would not exceed 35 cents
a month 1t is believed, nevertheless, that
when placed on a satisfactory business
and the city will have an excellent ilIumi-
nation system.

Attorney Riordan said that under the

CHRONICLES.

And 1t came to pass that people saw the iniquity of strong drink and began to fear lest their fami- lies and little ones suffer because of the thirst that was in the land.
 And they rose up as one man and voted that the accursed stuff be banished from Ashley county, that the people might prosper and save up their substance.
 But there were those among them who weeped and walled and gnashed their teeth and refused to be comforted.
 And they said among them selves: How shall We keep our spirits up, seeing there are no more spirits in the Iand?'
 And about the same time a wild and savage beast came among them, whose claws were sharper than serpent's tooth, whose breath was deadly, and whose eyes were without sight, so that he knew not friend or foe.
 And he made his lair in the midst of the people, and many fell down and worshiped him as God and built an altar for him.
 And it came to pass that many of those who worshipped the beast became drunken even as in the olden days and the good people wondered thereat, for behold, they knew not that it was q blind ti- ger.
 Yea, verily, t was blind ii

To THE MoNTICELLoNIAN:

~' V " oS'tI' To THE MoNTICELLoNIAN:
 Not seeing anything from Foun- tain Hill, lately. 1 will give you a few dots. Fountain Hill is on a boom. A good many are tearing down their old ehimneys and build ing brick ones.
 Mr. F. II. Simpson is building him nice residence.
 Crops are about all gathered Corn good, potatoes good, cotton half crop and lots of sorghum and ribbon cane, and plenty of hogs to make meat.
 A for free silver we have but two gold standard men in the county and they don't say much. Could not elect constable on the gold standard ticket in the county. We have been selling cotton all Fall and We receive greenbacks and silver in payment. Have not seen Il gold dallar this Fall. It is coward. l will come 10 facts in the matter; take two neighbors, one comes to see you and helps you out in trouble, and the other stays at home and never helps anybody. He is of no account to q neighborhood. That is what gold is. Some few papers say, the silver craze is dying out; but just let gold-standard candidate come out next spring and the silverites will show him whether they are dead or not.
 1 am for tree silver and 10 cent cotton, all the time. If those pa- pers that are crying out that the free silver craze IS dead, think SO, let them put ont a gold standard candidate for office next Spring, and they will find out which side of their bread is buttered.
 Mr. John Law, our beef cattle buyer of Ashley Co, says he can take shot sack and fill it up with silver dollars and tie it to his sad dle and go out among the people and buy more cattle than any gold bug.

It is indeed strange that persons who are considered high toned, respectable people, can thus sink themselves to the level of a man wbo is without morals, with out responsibility, without honor (save among the scums), without every instinct that tends to elevate and ennoble mankind, and whose brutal occupation has been outlaw ed by every state in the Union. even by semi-ciN ilized Mexico A man who is in the state for the ex- press purpose of violating the laws, thereby making hun already a criminal, and whose every instinct IS that of a brute, is feasted, cajol- ed and lionized.

Coinage of Silver Stopped

Secretary CarlisIe's order to step the coinage of silver is the final step ofthe Administration to- warls the complete discrediting ot silver money and the placing of the finances of the country on an absolute gold basis.
 By this act the uucoined silver bullion purchased under the Sher- man act, which was intended to be ah asse., g made liability of the Treasury. It turns silver bullion which cost sI24080.325 and which might be coined ito s177,964,0 900 for circulation among the people with q seignorage profit of s54, coo, ,000 to the Government, into gold obligations to still further tatten out tho overloaded gold re- serve.
 The purpose of the order is ob vious. The maintaining of a great heap of unused silver bullion IS a menace to the gold reserve, and hence, under the present system of finance, to the stability of the country's credit and the interests ot business, is expected to impress upon Congress the necessity of en. acting legislation to finally dispose of silver and carry out the gold plans of Wall Street.
 The Administration thus shows its purpose, regardless of conse- quenees and the will of the people to crush out bi-mettaIlism and to place the United States permanent ly m the ranks of the gold stand ard couutries.-St. Louis Post-Dis- patch.

 The best thing for free silver people to do is to keep right on in their fight for the white metal  and see to it tbat their delegates are in perfect accord with their views on the sutjcct. This is the way, and the only way to win 9 glorious victory. Never stop to talk or think about what you will do in case things don't turn out to suit you. A good general never thinks about where he IS going to retreat after the battle k over, but where he Is going to run the enemy.

The earthquake of yesterday morning extcaded over large section of tho country, and was felt distinctly at numerous points in twelve states. Luckily the seis- mic disturbance appears to have passed away and no further alarm is felt. There are numerous theo- ries among scientists as to the cause of earthquakes, but no speci- al theory can be said to apply to any particular earthquake. Very little damage has ever resulted in the western hemisphere from earth quakes so far as history relates and the chances are we may go on for several thousand years yet without sustaining any great loss from tbat source. In this country there are no great volcanic erup= tions, and the "crust of the earth" is so thick that the shrinkage con sequent upon the secular cooling of the globe will not produce the disastrous results that are frequent ly reported from other portions of the world.-Ark.

A drummer-and drummer, you know, never tells q lie-told me how preacher tested the eff feet of hard times on his congre- gation. At the conclusion of one of his sermons, he said,
 "Let everybody in the house who are paying their debts, stand up."
 Instantly every man, woman and child, with but one excep- ton, arose to their feet. The preacher seated the crowd, and then said:
 ''Let every man who is not pay ing his debts, stand up."
 The exception noted, a care worn, hungry-looking, clothed-in- his -last-summer-suit individual i, slowly assumed a perpendicular position and leaned upon the back of the bench.

COTTON has brought a good price this Fall owing to short crop. When silver IS remonetiz- ed there will be more money to buy more cotton and the staple will demand q good price, even when there is q full crop, for more aflt will be consumed. Twice as much cotton goods could be used as there is at present if the poor people had money to buy with. Therefore, the duty of the govern ment is to see that the means of purchasing is made accessible to the industrious citizen in rier that he may be able to properly feed and elothe himself and iami.
