citation, which greeted him very cordially.
He told the delegates that he was happy,
as was his club, to have the association in
the clubrooms. He invited the members

editors to SO unite in central social Or

E. B. WILLIS, President,
w. D. PENNYcooK, Secretary,
California Press Association.
Osborne of Los Angeles moved that the
committee be instructed to send the resC
lutions to members of the National Repub-
Iican Committee throughout the country.
He remarked that San Francisco had nine
teen members of the committee, but there
were twenty five against San Francisco. so
six were wanted to stand for the Pacific
Coast. Who these six committeeman were
he said was not known-the resolution
should be sent to all members of that
body. The motion met with unanimous
approval.
Lennon of Santa Rosa moved that if
the Republican Convention come to San
Francisco the association contribute $500
to the expenses. This motion was smcst
heartily carried.
The thanks of the association was ex-
tended to the Nevada Press Association.

MAY corn a year ago sold in Chicago

at 2s cents, or % cents lower. May oats
a year ago sold at SO cents; at this writ
ing they are 20 cents. May pork ayear
ago was S12.S7; to-day 1t isS9.O5. This
shows the effect of the constant con-
traction of the currency to reach the

1t also shows the effect of demo-
cratic free trade that is also drag
ging the American producer to the
level of the foreign pauper; free
trade and gold monometallism are
the twin evils that are rapidly pau
perizing the American people.

Lord Rosebery made two speeches,
one before drinking, the other after
drinking, on the same day; and the
London Standard gives extracts from
them as follows:
BEFoRE-"If there is one thing that
surprises ard rather disappolnls the
political observer in the last election it
is thls-the extreme %gullibllity of the
electorate"
AFTER-"I have a firm belief in the
shrewed collective common sense OF
the great mass Of the nation. believe
that if that common sense has rejected
US it is because u~nconsclously, and in
some way of which we are not aware,
We have deserved that rejection"
If a New Mexico politician, say
Catron or Joseph, White or Hope
we'll, were to make such a blunder
his condition would be described by
the press as a PLAIN drunk and the
eastern press would comment on il
as an evidence Of the depravity OF
politicians in the west. But al
"Hinglish my Lud," why, that's
different, We know,"-he is only q
hereditary simpletop, and allowances
should be made accordingly; while
men like White, Hopewell, JOSEPH
and Catron, ale expected to have
clear and masterful minds, and tt
be above laundering on all occas
sions. The difference is between The
politician from the p~lutocrats, ant
the politician from the people. AZ
Lord ROseberY is supported by thu
temperance people, his confusion
may be attributable to iced watel
or tea.
The Black range. (Robinson, Socorro County, N.M.) 1882-1897, 1895-12-20

Senator Stewart in his speech in the
senate one day this week, urged that
the great depreciation of silver gave to
the cheap labor of ASIA a tremendous
advantage in competing with the do
mestic products of the American mar
ket. Japan, in particular, he said, was
profting by this difference Of 80 per
cent. between u money and Japan,
and japanese merchants were to-day
underselling our home producers in
many lines of goods. Agents, of Japa-
nese manufacturers, he said, were now
in the United States selling their goods
at prices far below the cost of pro-
duction in the United States, offering
bicycles of Japanese make at $12 each,
and parlor matches, doors, sashes,
blinds, cOoperage stock, hats, gloves
and wearing apparel at so per cent. be-
low the domestic price. Japan had
taken the initiative, but China would
follow. AT the basis Of this menacing
condition, said MIR. Stewart, is the gold
