any. There Is an old saying that she
who sells what isn't his n, must buy it
in or go to prison." So as prices went
up the gamblers who had sold wheat
Short being called ON for the wheat
sold, were forced TO buy it in. The
frantic endeavors of the Shorts to
"cOver" drove prices skyward.
If our wheat crop has ieen seriously
damaged. and il the surplus Of Argen-
tine. Indian and Mexican wheat has
been exhausted, then the present or
even higher prices for wheat will be
temporarily maintained. But the
Gro does not seem to have been Seri-
ously damaged; the English traders
lave cen skeptical OF the rise and
have stopped their purchases of
American grain, which goes to show
mat the surplus wheat OF the silver
using countries has not been exhaust
cd. 1t is therefore probable that
wheat will soon fall again to tho gold
cost OF the ounce or fraction OF an
ounce Of silver necessary to purchase
bushel of wheat in India or Mexico.
Should, however, the rise in prices
be due to legitimate causes, such as a
decreased supply, the incentive to in
creased production in silver countries
would he SO immense that while the
price may. be maintained for the pres
ent year, it will in the end fall to the
cost OF producing wheat in silver
using countries.
The price Of wheat, as well as of all
other products. while subject to vari-
ations due to accidental increased or
decreased production, manipula tion,
ETC.. is controlled by the price OF
money. The price OF wheat can only
rise permanently as silver rises, and
our farmers can only enjoy prosperity
when the parity between gold and sill
yer is res tored, for not until then will
the bounty on exports from silver.
using to gold-using countries be re-
moved; and until that time our farm
crs will labor under a crushing disa l.
vantage.

SHARPS AND FLATS FROM OUR
EXCHANGES.

The Omaha platform will destroy the
monopolies that are impoverishing the
people and corrupting congress and ma
tional judiciary. It does not propose to
cure the disease by stimulating the pa
tient, but by removal Of the cause. Free
silver without other reforms would SIM
ply stimulate the patient while the dis
ease still makes its inroads upon the
vital powers. Monopoly has already cap
tured the wealth that was distributed
among the people, for its own Golfers,
and uses it to further3 control them as
prey. We must not only stimulate the
patient but destroy the monOpolies as
fast as possible and return to that pure
state Of government that recognizes no
favored class and gives all men an equal
chance in the pursuit Of happiness.-Bat-
tie Flag, La.
Now what does ali this mean? 1t
means just this: That swiftly and surely
we are coming to the pass that all the ave-
nues through which men can earn living
and keep body and sou! together here upon
the earth are to be controlled by capital
Those who own the capital can alone
purchase the machinery; and those who
own the machinery control the labor
that is applied to it. Herein lies the Sc
cret OF the struggle going on all over the
world-a struggle on the part OF labor
against the absolute control by capital of
all the opportunities of earning liveli-
hood.-N. Y. Voice.
In speech made at Philadelphia the
other evening Mr.. Edmunds said the
money question should be settled by "po-
litical action, not by party action" Aye,
aye. This is frank proposal from an
incestuous collision of the two old parties
to defeat those who seek to set right the
financial system of our country. The two
old parties can combine. They have a
common characteristic--hatred Of the re-
formers. They have united before; they
will again. Every day brings some new
proof that the reformers should learn a
new lesson, the lesson of cooperation.
The money question is one thing, how
ever; the silver question Is another. The
silver question is part Of the money
question. It is not even large part OF
that acknowledgements Age.

POLITICAL POINTERS.
MANY NOTES OF INTEREST TO
THE REA DERS OF THE
PEOPLES PAPER.

The Democrats Of Kansas-what there
is left of them outside Of the Peoples
Party-have arranged to call q silver
convention. 1t would be wisdom itself
if when they met they would vote to dis
band their organization and go to the
Peoples Party where all country loving
men should center and kill of the gold
standard lunatics.
Declarers for Free Silver-North Car
DINA Democratic committee goes on rec
ord. The resolutions were adopted by a
vote of 20 to /. They were very strong,
and heartily indorse the position Of the
Illinois Democrats in their demand for
immediate resumption Of free coinage.
Oregon Republicans are represented
by their state leagues. voted against
free silver at Portland May %.

Vetoed-Gov. Altgeld refuses to sign the
act giving corporations the right to COM
bine. Opposed to granting any priv1-

Hon. IGNAT1Us DONNELLY: Dear
Sir-I have just finished reading your
latest book, THE Peoples Money" OF
all the good books you have written
this is the best. 1t is timely and will
do great good. You have rendered the
cause of reform another service for
which we should be truly grateful.
Accept my congratulations on this
last effort, for whose distribution

would not prove that sound and re-
liable paper currency could not be es-
tablished by a wealthy and popuous
country. Minnesota's taxes are thir-
teen million dollars per annnm, 1--WE
blush as we write it); and will anybody
pretend that this state could not is
sue, (if the national constitution
would permit herr, a million dollars OF
paper money, receivable for all debts
public and private, including taxes,
and maintain them at par? 1t would
be question to be determined by ex-
perience whether she could not so is
sue five millions, ten millions or thir-
teen millions. Our national expert
ence, so often -cferrcd to, with the
first sixty millions Of full legal tender
notes, has been lesson which all the
prating Fisks in the world can not
overthrow.
Even in the facts which F.skc gives
we catch glimpses Of the truth. He
tells US that Pennsylvania issued a
million dollars OF BILLS of credit, did
not make them legal tender, but re-
ceived them in pigment of taxes, and
in two years they had only depreciat-
ed II per cent. Certainly currency
at II per cent discount was better
than no currency at all: and it lifted
up the whole business Of the new state
and saved the homes Of thousands of
farmers But Fiske probably thinks
this was OF no Importance.

can see that no comparison can be in

Louis CORRIVEAU'S Will.
He BEQUEATHs ALL OF HIS
ESTATE TO HIS SISTER,
MRS. BOUTIN.
LOWELL WHITE, HIS EXECUTOR,
WITHDRAWS TO AVOID
NOTORIETY.

the will of Louis Corriveau, disposing Of
that mysterious $780, 900 estate of which no
one knows anything, has been filed. He
leaves all of his property to his sister, Mrs.
Armine Boutin of San Anselm Lawn.
Canada, declaring that he has already
made full and satisfactory settlement
with his wife Charlotte, and he therefore
leaves her nothing
The will is dated November "a, 1888, and
in it there is no hint of the probable value
OF the property, or where or what it is. II
is evident from the will that part of the
estate was In property, however, at least al
the time the will was made, for in one
paragraph he gives full power to his
executor to dispose of any or all his prop
erty at either public or private sale. Lowell
White of the San Francisco Savings Union
is named as executor, but with the filing OF
the Will he also filed his remuneration OF
the trust. He wrote letter to Judge
Superior Court, explaining that he believed
the case was going to get much unpleasant
notoriety, and that therefore he did not
want to be connected with it.
The will was drawn up by Judge A. A.
Sanderson of the Superior bench, who is
also witness to it. The other witness is
Albert r. Harris of AT Dupont street.
AS to the whereabouts of Corriveau, s
estate there is as much mystery as ever.
The Public Administrator has as yet found
no definite tidings as to any trace of it ex-
cept about $1,000 collected by H. W. West
phal on several notes which Corriveau left
in his hands some little time before he
died. 1t is believed that just before his
death Corriveau owned lot on Mission
street, near Eighteenth, valued at $4,000,
and had $20,0 600 in the San Francisco Saw
ings Union. He also is reported to have
held mortgage on property owned by
Westphal for $4,000.
Collectors for Jacobs, of the Germania
Insurance Company, who were after him
to collect $500 due as premiums, and on
which they had secured a Judgment, claim
that to prevent them from Ievying upon
them, be transferred his lot and his mort
cages, and in fact all his property to some
unknown person. Beyond this, however,
the estate of Louis Corriveau, the barber,
is still lost to the sight of his legatees.

PAYMASTER = GENERAL CHAD
BOURNE IN THE ROLE
OF PORTIA.
SOLDIER BOYS SAVED FROM THE
CRASHING GREED OF MONEY
LENDERS.

Colonel T. S. Chadbourne, paymaster-
general of the National Guard of Califor-
mia, is losing considerable sleep and flesh
in these piping times of peace. On Thurs
day night he finished paying the soldiers
in San Francisco who were called out in
the strike last year, but he has yet to take
in the interior towns TO liquidate the
claims OF the Fifth Regiment. The hard
est struggle which the colonel has vet had
since his appointment by Governor Budd
Troop Cavalry was paid off.
With clanking spurs and trailing sword
the colonel entered the armory, followed
at respectful distance by Colonel Bergin
and Lieutenant-Colonel Bush. The crowd
had been awaiting his coming long, for the
Naval Reserve had to be paid first. The
paymaster-general took up his position at
table and had the lieutenant in charge
bring on his men. First the men who had
not assigned their claims were called. and
when they were disposed of the unfortu-
mates who had had to hypothecate their
warrants were mustered, and the perform
ance of the evening commenced
The first man called had S44 coming to
him. The assignee was ushered in, ac-
companied by his attorney, and the trem-
bling cavalrymap followed. Shyloek and
his lawyer made low obeisance to the pay
master-general. Chadbourne clanked his
spurs and cleared his throat He was
about to enact the role of Portia in soldier
clothes.
'How much did you get from this man3''
he asked in tones OF thunder
'sTen dollars replied the shivering cav
alryman, and the assignee and his attorney
bowed low again.
"Well, I'll tell you what you do" said
the paymaster- general to the assignee.
''You dig up $25 and give it to this boy,
and be --..quick about it,
But I've got his warrant" said the as
signee.

Entertains Its Friends.

Entertains Its Friends.
The members of the Ladies' Auxiliary
of the Young Mems Christian Association
entertained their friends in the upper hall
of the Y. M. c. A. building last evening in
a manner which was highly appreciated by
all who attended. The event was what the
ladies were pleased to term a tea of all
nations, and the proceeds of the affair
were to go toward the building fund of the
association.
The members of the auxiliary, fifty in
number, were on hand early in the even
ing, and the majority of them were at
tired IN pretty japanese, Spanish and
other national costumes.
one feature of the occasion was the sale
to each visitor of a cup of tea in neat
Japanese cup, and quite snug amount
was realized in this way
Then IN room adjoining the refresh
ment headquarters an entertainment,
consisting of music, singing and recita-
lions, was provided. On the programme
were soprano solo by Mrs. Owens, piano
solo by Mrs. Osbourne, trio by the Apollo
Mandolin Club, q recitation by Mr.. Nc
Clellan and reading by Miss Hobart. In
all there We're 200 guests present.
Since its organization the auxiliary has
accomplished considerable in making the
association rooms attractive to its mem
bers by various entertainments and festi-
walls, which can only be made attractive for
the young by the presence of fair young
ladies'. The officers are: Mrs. Cline, presi-
dent; Mrs. B. @. Wright, president;
Miss Perkins, secretary. Mrs. Sarah B.

that that was more up to the standard OF

A letter from G. w. Macfarlane, the
chamberlain of the lamented King Kala-
kaua, was read, expressing admiration in
the Kings name for Sauvlet's fine opera,
the scene OF which was laid in Honolulu.
"His Majesty would have produced it,
but he died, explained the plaintiff. No!
he was not musician, but he had feel
ing for music. He asked me to compose
the opera, and was to have paid me $500,
but never received it."
did you ever ask the. King to pay you
for writing that opera?" asked Attorney
Shortridge

Sauvlet, after searching in the recesses
OF his memory, recalled that he had dashed

of Java had paid him $1,000 for one compo-
sition. THAT was in Batavia" he ex-

that in the art-laden atmosphere of Java
music commands a higher price than in
the wilds of San Francisco,
'And when you get into that fine frenzy
OF inspiration do you dash along or do you
plod along?"
Sauvlet was not sure, but remarked that
it had taken him several days to harmonic

that on August % Sauvlet had gone to

If the original genius who once expressed
preference for writing the popular ballads
of a nation rather than making its laws
had sat in the courtroom of Justice of the
Peace Groezinger yesterday and listened to
certain testimony regarding popular bal
lads he would have concluded that he had
made most egregious mistake-at least if
he took any stock in what was said.
In all probability he would have taken

similar cases were disposed of and the
general and his staff took their departure.
Outside the armory the cavalry boys
were waiting, and they set up mighty
cheer for the Governor staff. The assignees
and their attorneys were further up the
line, and as the staff passed storm of
