The w heelIng InteliIgencer THINKS
the Democratic party viii be all
split up on the silver question, and
as a consequence will not be dan
gerous in 1896. That's just where
it makes a mistake. 1t forgets that
when a Democratic convention has
declared for honest money-that is
for the money of the constitution,
gold and silver-that the whole par
ty will be for it. OF course there
are men who call themselves Demo-
Gratis who will prefer to vote the
"gold bug" Republican ticket, but
for every such a one who leaves us
we shall gain two honest money Re-
publicans, who can't swallow the
single gold standard theory with
subsection to England tackled onto
its tail. Another thing that it is
well to remember is, that no man or
set of men are big enough or strong
enough to dictate opinions to the
Democratic party, when they don't
like it's principles they can get out,
and there are always plenty moro
to take their Plaees.-St. Mary's

A Wise, just and Legal Opinion.

Judge L. Boyd Faulkner, in com
menting on the election cases at
Charles Town, this week, took occa-
sion to express his opinion on a
very interesting feature of our cleo
ton law. The law requires that
a voter, if challenged, cannot vote
unless he makes an affidavit, in
which he states his residence, etc.,
and swears to it. The usual opin-
ion heretofore has been that the
election commissioners were com
PEELED to take the vote then, though
the voter could be arrested after
ward, if the affidavit was false,
both for perjury and for illegal vot-
ing. Judge Faulkner declared that
if the commissioners know voter
is not entitled to vote, they have a
right to refuse to let him vote, the
affidavit to the contrary nOtwith-
standing. In other words the COM
missioners should not receive a vote
if they know it is illegal. This is q
wise, just and legal opinion sustain

THE HUNTINGTON WARRANT
1t Will Be Served if the Railroad
Magnate Gets Here in
Time.
United States Marshal Baldwin
Says He Is No Respecter
Of Persons.

The Huntington case has caused consid.
cradle comment around the corridors of
the Appraisers building. The strikers
are indignant over the idea of the railroad
magnate escaping trial and sarcasticalIy
remark, "There is one law for the rich
and another for the poor" The general
impression all along seems to have been
that Huntington would never be brought
to trial, but still everybody thought he
would at least be arrested. Should he ar
rive here within the next few days and no
instructions from Attorney General Olney
come in the meantime, he will have to I'M
dergo the indignity of appearing in the
United States District Court and giving
bail. The chances are, however, that he
will remain away until the storm is over.
"The indictment is in force said United
States District Attorney Foote yesterday,

will be served on him. When he will get
here don't know, but think it is moral
certainty that it will be in the near future.
] have received no instructions from the
Attorney General, and what he may or
may not do is none of my business. If
any instructions arrive they will, of course
receive due consideration, That is about
all there is to the matter"
II am no respecter of person when
have duty to perform" said Marshal
Baldwin. "Were Mr.. Huntington to ar
rive in San Francisco tonight 1 would at
once serve the warrant upon him. But he
is not within my jurisdiction, and all I
can do is to await his arrival. 1t is not
within my jurisdiction to send on to New
York to have the warrant served, but, of
course. it could be done at large expense.
can tell you this-that if the warrant is
in force when Huntington arrives here I
will lose no time in serving it.
"Why do you not send copy of the in
dictment and warrant to New York and
have Huntington arrested there and for
warded to San Franciscan was asked of
the District Attorney.
Because" answered he, "the expense
would be very great, and what is the use of
going to all that trouble when Mr.. Hunt
ington will shortly be out here?"

SHE WAS STARVING.
Mrs. Ida Sullivan Faints on the Street
From Weakness and Lack Of
Food.

The spectacle of middle-aged woman
falling in a faint near the corner of Eddy
and Leavenworth streets attracted quite a
crowd yesterday afternoon. Those who
gathered about her PROSTATE form paid lit
tie attention to the incident until they
were informed that the woman had col
lapsed by reason of exhaustion caused by
starvation.
When taken to Mrs. Boothby's restau-
rant near by the woman said that her name
was Mrs. Ida Sullivan and that she re-
sided at the corner of Third and Hunt
streets. She arrived in this city from Port
land few weeks ago with the hope of Sc
curing employ ment of some kind.
81 have suffered frightfully,' remarked
Mrs Sullivan. my health is very poor
and owing to lack of money was unable
to procure such things as needed to sus-
tain my strength. / could find no employ
ment and the few cents had when | ar
rived here soon disappeared. / tried to Sc
cure work in restaurant but failed. After
repeated failures to get anything, and be-
ing unwilling to beg, went to my room to
die"
Mrs. Sullivan made the almost incredible
statement that she had eaten nothing for
four days DR.. w. O. Wilcox, who was
subsequently called, pronounced her case
one OF physical exhaustion clearly due to
prolonged fasting. Her face was wan and
haggard and her frame was emaciated to
frightful degree She is now being cared
for by Mrs. Boothby. General McComb
will cause her removal to hospital to-day
for treatment.

for acceptance or rejection. Following is
the agreement:
with malice toward none, but charity for
ALL We, the undersigned, barber-shop .propri-
etors of San Francisco, realizing that the fur.
ther lengthening of our already long hours of
labor, if uniformly established, is neither
public necessity nor private profit, but is, on
the other hand, great injustice alike to our
selves and families, to our employees and their
families and a needless expense to every pro-
prietor as well, and, believing. the interests OF
all will be advanced with no inconvenience to
the public, we hereby agree to close our places
OF business at 8 P. NJ. on all weekdays except
Saturday and the evenings preceding legal
holidays.
If the foregoing agreement is accepted
BY the union it will then be submitted to
the proprietors of barber-shops throughout
the city, both union and non-union, for
their signatures.

Private oyster beds in the upper Vir-
ginia waters of the Chesapeake have been
successfully protected against oyster
thieves by simple but ingenious device.
The owner of the beds, sixteen acres in
area, crossed them in two directions with
five-eighths of an inch wire secured to
posts at the point of intersection. Both
wires and posts are invisible, even at low
tide. The oyster pirate that attacks the
bed is sure sooner or later to lose his
dredge by having it entangled in the wire,
and thefts are rare.

A STRING OF THOUGHTS.

Even the sun has spots on it.
The strength of the chain is in its
weakest link; humanity can boast
Of no superior strength beyond its
frailty and proneness to err.
A tired soul finds more refresh
meut III mirth than in contempla-
ton.
1t is we'll the future wears vea,
or else there would be an end to
endeavor.
The man who finds contentment
in toll is the worlds greatest hero.
Mankind is one family, but it
takes a touch of nature to show the
kindred.
A trembling little culprit at the
bar of the recorders court is an
illustrated worume of the wrongs
and neglect of our boosted Christian
civilization.
The theory of the law is that we
do not revenge evil doing. The
practice is that our courts and
prisons are avengers of the mistakes
of civilization.
Wear out the rod and you harden
the heart of the child.
