That Judge A. P. Catlin Is the choice
of eight -tenths of the voters of this
county for reelection to the position
which he is now filing to the full salts
faction of the people there is no doubt,
but his popularity is so pronounced that
it may endanger his election If his
friends do not stand firmly for him.
Men are apt to say, "Oh, Judge Catlin Is
certain of election; he will have enough
votes without mine, and 1 may as well
throw a vote to my friend-and 1t may
help him in this three cornered con-
test" Let every friend Of Judge Catlin
stamp q cross opposite his name on cleo

The Oakland Enquirer" is evidently
very anxious to keep up the impression
that the railroad is fighting Hilborn. 1t
says: THE Alameda Argus. which, II
it is a Republican paper. ought to be
supporting Congressman Hilborn, is CO.
verify opposing him 1t denies that the
railroad company is fighting Congress
man HilDorn." In this it regards the
statement that the railroad company Is
not fighting Hilborn as treason to Hill
born. This is perhaps the most conspic-
uous exhibition of small-mindedness
manifested in this entire campaign. The
Republican paper that can deliberately
run an entire Congressional campaign
on an anti-railroad keel in the presence
of great issues is edited by head not
larger than an acorn. The she'll end OF
an acorn would evidently make a hand

1t is admitted by even such intelligsnces
as the San Francisco Examiner" that
the people may prosper without any
change in the financial policy OF the
country, it will be seen that there is all
the stronger reason for the plan of the
Record Union" as to adjustment of the
silver question pending international
agreement, namely: Coin all the silver
belonging to the Government. Make
all silver coins legal tender to the
amount Of $50. Cease coming gold or
issuing any paper based on gold under
the denomination of $50. For convent
ence issue $40 silver note. Thus silver
will be forced into circulation and its
volume augmented to some S4oO,OOO,-
900. We will use silver for domestic
purposes generally, while gold will not
be driven out of the country, but Its use
will be confined mainly to answering
the demands of foreign exchange, and
for purchases abroad.

Part third of the 1895 census of
Massachusetts is of interest as showing
the growing proportion of naturalized
voters. The figures presented show
that in the State, as a whole, the pro.
portion of naturalized to the whole
number of voters grew 1878 per cent.
in 1875 to 22.3l per cent. in 1885, and
4.62 per cent. in 1895. Boston goes
much above this percentage, the
naturalized voters there being 1857
per cent. of the whole number. This
proportion, although nearly one.third,
Is surpassed by some of the manufac-
turing cities, particularly Fall River.
where it has reached the remarkable
percentage of one.half. In Dukes
County the native voters are nearly
one hundred per cent, and in Bristol
County the naturalized am cunt to verv
nearly fifty per cent, these being the
extremes in the State. A sub division
is made of the male population twenty
years and over, SO as to exhibit the
political condition. The totalnumber
OF twenty years and over is 771.7O
OF this population, the ratable polls
number 766, 1913, or SO. 80 per cent f:

Merchant princes break, solid bankers shake
Even railroad kings give way,
But the farmers loans to the soil he oTn
A right generous interest pay.
Speculat1on's crash at a single dash
May tho strongest 'houses' floor,
But disaster still docs not cross the si'
Ofthe farmers open door.
Though his hands are bare Of the Jewels
That on daintier fingers glow,
From his forehead brown labor's pearls DROP
down
With the grain he stoops to SOW,
And he feels no fears that his lilo's last
years
Will in want or in sorrow end,
As he turns the sod with the harvest's God
For his helper, guide and friend.

tortured to crafty the gluttony of
the people. We are informed by one
writer that swine were fed on dried
figs and honeyed wine in order to pro.
