naming LAT will cast seven for gold and
40 against 1t, and as the 80 Democrats
elected from the South and West, plus the
seven Populists. will vote for silver to a
man, as presented in this issue, we can
calculate that the next congress will di-
vide on the question a full house of
357 members, 242 for silver and lis against
1t.
The gold flood has reached high-water
mark, and this is simply so because 100000
votes were cast for the Populist ticket last
fall. Does anyone suppose Fletcher would
have voted as he did had not the memory
of 5000 votes for the Populist ticket hav-
ing been cast in his district? Not much!
Neither of the old parties will dare to
put UP an Eastern man for nomination.
except upon the hypothesis Of securing
the defeat of the party, that a Western
gold-bug may be elected over the Populist
nominee
What becomes then Of the assertion that
the Republican victory was a victory for
monometalsm?" Nothing. The only party
that advanced it's cardinal principles is
the Populist, and 1 predict that Grover
Cleveland will succeed in wrecking, in
the next two years, the Republican party
as effectually as he has the ex-Democratic
in the first two of his administration.
The day of deliveranc is dawning.

VIEWS ON SILVER.
p. A. H. FRANKLIN, OF SALT LAKE
CITY, EXPRESSES THEM.

p. A. H. Franklin, one of the leading
representatives of the mining and CONNER
cial interests of the Rocky Mountains, is
In the city, the guest of Bishop Charles
Fowler. Mr.. Franklin, who is a resident of
Salt Lake City, has for several years been
recognized as one of the leaders of the
crusade in the interest of free silver, and
consequently his views on that subject may
be accepted as the voice Of the great West
on the silver question.
: In an interview with THE TRIBUNE last
evening, in answer to question to his
opinion of the future of silver, Mr.. Frank
lin said:
'You are asking me a question too large to
answer in few words. The silver ques-
ton is now of the most important be-
fore the people Of this country, and it does
not appear to me to be much nearer solution
today than it was year ago. We who are
engaged in the mining industry know how
1t affects our interests. We also know that
the depreciation in silver has caused a
great deal Of trouble and hard times. |
think it is safe to say that 100000 men have
been thrown out of employment in the
Rocky Mountains, which means that the
earning capacity of that number of men
has been destroyed. They would have earn
ed about 100000 per day, which means that
that large sum Of money has been kept out
of the channels of commerce, and right here
you can f1nd one OF the reasons why times
are so hard in your city. The silver ques-
ton is very important, and in my opinion
affects every industry in the land, and |
believe that if silver had not been demone-
tized the country would never had had oc-
casion to go through these last hard times
There is not gold enough in the world to
carry on our business with. The whole
amount of gold will not exceed over $3.50 per
capita, and the silver about $2.5l.'
IF congress were to enact free coinage
law, would not the United States be hooded
with silver from other parts OF the World!
Mr.. Franklin was asked.
NO" was the reply. II do not think
there is any danger from that source Four
ifths of the nations of the world use silver
as money entirely, and supposing they
should bring all the silver of the world
into the United States and coin 1t into
American eagles, 1t would not amount to
over $54 per capita, and then all the rest or
the world would be without money. So
YOU may feel sure that we will not be lucky
enough to get, all that silver"
IF we had free coinage of silver, would
not the production Of our mines be so large
that we would haze too much of it?'

Some Novel Suggestions From a Cor
r4spoHdent.
To the Editor: Z
In some pagan countries 1 have read OF
a very sensible law, that makes it import
ant for the physician to keep his patient
WELL for when he dies or gets desperately
sick they kill the doctor. Now, wouldn't
that be a good idea to embody in political
economy?
Fix the standard of value for staple food
products at fair profit above the cost of
production, and let this standard regulate
all business transactions of whatever kind
or nature. For instance, assuming the
price of wheat to be 81 a bushel, let that
govern the salaries of public officers in
every department of public service. If
wheat goes to so cents cut the salaries in a
corresponding ratio
Put congressman, president, supreme court
and ALL from the highest to. the lowest, on
an even basis with the farmer. When the
legal rate of interest mominaD is s per
cent and wheat is SO cents, let the rate
correspond. Make every money transac-
ton flexible; and let them fiex to the price
OF bread. Fifty-cent wheat, then, would
make per cent interest, cut the freight
charges in two, and ease the farmer of
half his burden
Then the financial doctors would have a
strong motive in keeping the patient in
vigorous health, and would need very lit
tie watching. Such a condition. while
1t would be absolutely fair and just, would
bring good and honest men to places of
trust, and kill off all the quacks and hobos.
Our agricultural interests would advance,
and thrift and industry would take the
place of almost hopeless despair There
would be no disagreement on the silver
question; free coinage" and a true obi
metallic currency would be unheard of,
Tor all kinds of money would be good
Monopolies bribery, corruption and dis
honesty would disappear from politics like
"snoWf1akeS on the river"

financial ills. Yours truly RIDLEY

SIGNIFICANT VOTE.
The Recent Issue of Government
Bonds.

The Recent Issue of Government
Bonds.
To the Editor:
The vote on the resolution to authorize
the issue of Sc, 200, 900 of gold bonds is an
unexpected display of virtue on the part
of the present representatives The AS
ISOLATED Press correspondent says: "The
Republicans west of the Alleghanies, led
by Hopkins and Cannon, of Illinois, start
ed off with impetuous speeches against
the resolution" An analysis of the vote
shows that 60 Republicans, two from New
Hampshire and one from New York, voted
against the resolution. All the rest lived
west of Pennsylvania. We find even
Fletcher and Keifer of this state, voting
against it.
About three Western Republicans voted
for it, out of 81. These were Durbarrow,
of Illinois; English of California and Up
degraph of Iowa.
The Democratic vote was fully as sig
nifcant when we eliminate the retired
"cuckoos,' like Hall and Baldwin, of this
state. Take out this class and that party,
west and north of the Ohio river, has not
a vote for the resolution, except Sorg, of
congress.
What is the significance of all this?
First-It shows the financial question to
be too much to the front to be longer
evaded.
SecOnd-That neither of the old parties
can by any possible means dragon. it's
members into voting for the measure on
party lines.
.Third-That this is the only measure
voted on in congress that has received the
solid vote of the Populists in the house,
thus placing it to the front as the leading
issue of the party.
Fourth-That while both old parties de-
clare the Peoples party dead, they concern
themselves more over it's ghost than the
kingly Macbeth did over that of Banquo.
Fifth-It foreshadows the great fact that
the next congress can unite on a satisfac-
tory financial measure no more than has
the Democratic party.
New England and the old Middle States,
including Delaware, Maryland and West
Virginia. has 100 Republican members of

RECEPTION TO A RECTOR.
Rev. William Hall Moreland of st.
Luke's Welcomed Home After
His Vacation.

Rev. and Mrs. William Hall Moreland
were welcomed home after four months
sojourn in the East by a reception at the
home of Mrs. Theodore e. Smith, 161e
Washington street, on Wednesday evening.
The Ladies Parochial Society, of which
Mrs. Smith is directress, rendered the re-
ception, and all members of the parish,
other friends of the rector of st. Luke S
and all the Episcopal clergy were invited.
There were more than $50 guests. Mr..
and Mrs. Smith and Rev. Mr.. and Mrs.
Moreland received, and many members of
the church served as an entertainment
committee for the evening. Vocal music
was provided by st. Luke's vested choir,
Miss VIM, soprano Miss Garlic conIralto,
played at intervals.
The drawing rooms were tastefully deco
rated, and refreshments were served in a
vine-covered nook on the lawn, which was
brilliantly lighted and gay with bunting
and flags.
A member of the parish said the recep-
ton marked a new social era in the his
tory of ST. Luke's. There have been few
social assemblages in the parish hereto
fore owing to the lack of church parlors,
but it is expected that the Ladies' Paro-
chial Society will arrange for occasional
socials at homes in the future.

AN OFFICIAL sToRBKEEPER.

Adverse Opinion Upon a Modoc Super
visor's Claim Against the County.
Acknowledgement Fitzgerald has rem
dered an interesting decision relating to
the purchase of supplies for county offices
wherein county officer was and is inter-
ested in the firm from which the goods
were purchased. His opinion is based upon
an inquiry from John E. Raker, District
Attorney of Modoc County.
E. I4auer & Sons presented claim for
merchandise sold to Modoc County. E.
Lauer was member of the Board of Su-
pervisors and owned controlling interest
in the stock of the corporation at the time.
The Acknowledgement is of the opinion
that under the county government act of
1898 the claim of Z. Lauer & Sons for mer-
chandise purchased while E. Lauer was a
member of the Board OF Supervisors is an
invalid claim and cannot be allowed.
Mr.. Raker asked for a second opinion
concerning the claim of Benjamin Lauer,
one of the sons and member of the cor
poration. The latter purchased goods
from the corporation which he sold to the
county, and when paid by the county
credited the corporation with the amount
charged to himself for such goods. The
Acknowledgement is of the opinion that
Benjamin Lauer's claim must be allowed,

ures Of music and the drama, and it is
wholly in harmony with the spirit of es-
thetic progress on the peninsula that A.
Page Brown should plan and c. Josselyn
build an opera-house worthy of the city.
Now the plans have been accepted and
the contract awarded. The house is of the
mission type of architecture with the
blending of the Moorish. There is a series
of ornamental windows across the front,
heavy cornices project, and the tiled roof
lends poetry to the structure. The build
ing is to be of brick, sand finished. Seat
ing capacity for 500 people will be pro-
yided. A spacious stage and fine dressing
rooms will delight the actors and singers.
Then the auditorium is so picturesque
with its quaint timbers overhead instead
of the finished ceiling. Gains in ventila-
ton and opportunity for decoration have
been thought of by the owner and the archi-
tect.
But this is not ALL The drop curtain
will be thing of beauty and therefore a
Joy forever. The Josselyn genius in the
creation of this curtain will be refreshed.
stimulated and animated by the collective
genius OF San Francisco bohemianism.
John Stanton is carrying the curtain in his
mind now. Other artists are making sug-
gestions, and when Mr.. Josselyn goes
abroad next month his plastic mind will
secure drop curtain impressions in London
and Paris.
The equipment of scenery is sure to be
ample and fit for the production of opera
and the rendition of drama.
The desires of the young people of Red
wood City have not lacked consideration.
Dancing in the Alhambra is sure to be a
delight, for the floor is laid on lines to
make dancing agreeable. Below will be
stores and cafe. Electric lights, gas jets
and fire escapes are to be provided for the
building. In truth, the Alhambra will
light up well.
Contractor Robert Brown, who built the
Burlingame Country Club, will construct
the new opera-house.
At the next election the people of San
Mateo will consider the proposition of
building new courthouse in keeping
with the progress and wealth of the COM
munity. The town has now one of the
finest school buildings in California, bank
with capital of $500, 900, which Neighbor
Josselyn founded, and also three good
hotels.
