CANDIDATE HILBORN AND THE
RAILROAD.

We regret to note that the friends Of
S. G. Hilborn think they are promoting
his election by holding him up as the
great original anti-railroad Congress
man. 1t is declared by some of them
that Mr. Hilborn is being opposed by
the Southern Pacific Company. The
evidence of this is wanting. If the
Southern Pacific Company is opposing
Mr.. Hilborn, the evidence should be
clearly presented to the voters of the
Third District. In the absence of that
evidence the assertion of the fact is
mere denlagogism. 1t, may be safely
assumed that whoever seeks Congress
sional position upon the sole ground of
his opposition to the transportation in
terests of the State of California is
unfit to be a Congressman. AS this
matter is of some Importance to the
party, and as Mr.. HiIborn owes 1T to
himself and his constituency to declare
his position upon this question, we
make bold to say that if Mr.. Samuel G..
Hilborn is running upon the sole issue
OF hostility to the transportation instru-
nientalities which serve the industries
OF this State, he is demagogue and
his craftsmanship consists chiefly in
an able lifting Of his eyebrows in order
to produce the outward appearance of
great wisdom

AN APPEAL TO SILVER NINE
OWNERS.

Thomas @. Merrill is a. member Of the
Committee on Address of the Finance
Committee of the Silver Trust, says the
San Francisco Bulletin" which pub
fishes a letter dated Salt Lake City, Sep
tember 2lst, that has been sent out by
him in the interest Of Mr.. Bryan.
This letter is addressed to the owners
OF such silver mines as the Ontario, Sill
yer King, DAILY West, Mammoth, Cen
tennial, Eureka, Bullion Beck, Eureka
Bill and others. 1t is set forth that
the Bryan grass is short, and that the
owners of silver mines should contri-
butte more freely. If this is done, says
Mr.. Merrill, Bryan can be elected and
silver will go up to 81 20, and if it is not
done he may be defeated
He then gives one reason why the con-
tribution should be made 1t is not
enough that the owners have put up al
ready for newspapers and the orators
who trail after Mr.. Brany, exhort-
ing the people to try an experiment 1t
is necessary to put more speakers into
the field and more literature and prob
ably more thunder into the silver press
of the Bryanite order, to save the sit
uation.
Mr. Merrill therefore asks the silver
owners TO contribute at once so much
as the profit that would be gained-if
free coinage to individual account OBJ
tained-on the output of the mines for
one month. This profit, under free cofy-
age, he says, would be GA cents an ounce.
He adds:
appeal to Messrs. Mcintyre and Gun
ningham of the Mammoth, Keith and
Kearns of the Silver King, Chisholm and
others of the Centennial Eureka, Ryan
and Knox of the Ajax, Packard Of the
Eureka, Hill Daily of the Daily West,
Beck and associates Of the Bullion Beck,
Farnsworth and Sharp of the Horn Sill
yer, and the owners of the Sioux, On
tario, Daily and other silver mines of
this State, who can well afford to assist
in this cause, to FIGURE UP THE
AVERAGE MONTHLY SILVER PRO
! DUCT FROM THEIR MINES AND
MULTIPLY THE PRODUCT OF ONE

A MIDDLE GROUND.

The Bryanites insist with dogged per-
tinacity that there is no middle ground
in the silver question; that we must
have free coinage to individual account
CT nothing; that international agree
ment lies too far in the future, and that
coinage to governmental account which
clips the profit of the owners of silver
bullion Is unthinkable.
But there are middle grounds, and one
which this journal has advanced is in
the direction of practicability, namely,
to send all our surplus silver held by
the Government to coinage at once; to
make all our silver coinage legal tender
for 500; to order that there be no coin
age Of gold or issue of paper based on
gold in denominations less than $50;
to order that for convenience $50 sill
yer note issue. BY this means we will
augment the volume of our silver money
to our full need and make it the money
for domestic use; drive no gold out Of
the country, but have 1T in plenty for
foreign purchases and exchanges; affect
10 contracts. threaten no line Of trade,
create no stress in the Treasury, not
disturb business nor shake confidence.
It will, in fact, settle the silver Ques-
ton. There is nothing in the Republi-
can platform to prevent or antagonize
carrying out such plan. There is moth
ing in reason that can be advanced
against it that has a stable foundation.

RumOrs That There is Trouble in the
Napa Asylum.

1t is rumored that the doctors in
charge of the Insane Asylum at Napa
have been having high old time, and
that yesterday DR.. A NJ. Gardner the
physician, visited Sacramento to confer
with Governor Budd regarding the mat
ter.
1t Is said that Gardner a few days
ago entered the department of DR.. G.
r. Bowles, the assistant resident ply
sician, and picked UP a small brush
with the intention Of brushing the dust
from his clothing, when Bowles, jump
ing up, said: Il don't allow allow you
to brush off your dust around me, -
ard with that reached under the desk
and took a manzanita club, with which
he belabored Gardner numerically.
Gardner is reported having told the
Governor that the Napa insane
Asylum is too small for himself and
Dr.. Bowles, and to back his assertion
by exposing a beautifully colored OPP
tic.
Just what was the original cause OF
the trouble does not appear.

Butterworth is using a homely and
speeches that deserves much repetition.
Suppose A, B, C, D and E to be mining
in the United States. One brings cop
ner to the surface, another lead, an
other iron, another coal and another
silver. When each has his ore at the
mouth Of the shaft he prepares to sell
the product at the market price, all,
save one. While the copper ore product
is marketed and the coal sold, and the
iron sent to meet demand, and the lead
tra fficked for the current price, the sill
yer miner refuses to dispose OF his bull
lion through the usual channels, but
demands that by Act OF Congress
there shall be done that which will
fix price for his goods no matter what

for the goods, affording larger margin
of profit than that which the market
will grant?

Nevertheless manly men will COM
mend Mr.. Johnson for scoring the harri-
dan as it deserves. There are no words
that his eloquence may command In
castigating the Examiner that it does
not fully merit, and that are not f1tly
applied. We notice that he has seen
fit to trounce the trollop, and to do so
in terms unmeasured and unmistaka-
BILE, and the gospel Of fair play justifies
him. He is justified, also, by the claims
this people have upon him, since, as we
have said, these methods of scurrilous
assault are insults to the people Of Sac
ramento, and it: is his duty, as we are
sure it his pleasure, to defend them.
Except that cleanly journalism can

ence of such as the Examiner in the

pers might wish the venal sheet to

defeated silver will be put down so that
at the best it will not bring more than
40 cents. The Bulletin" figures out
that this profit Of GA cents, to which Mr..
Merrill confesses, on the basis of the
present production will equal S35,OOO,-
000 From such a vast sum surely the
mine owners can contribute SO small a
part as one months profit, in order to
add to the possibility of scooping in the
whole business under Bryan.
After this it will hardly lie in the
mouths of the silver radicals to deny
that under free coinage to individual ac-
count every dealer in silver bullion will
reap profit at the expense Of the peo-
pie amounting to GA per cent.

HIS UNHAPPY POSITION.

Mr. Sewall, one of Mr. Bryan's run
ming mates, was President of the Amer
lean Merchant Marine Association. A
Mr.. Smith was, and is it's Secretary.
The two, with the Executive Commit
tee, by direction of the association Ia
bored to secure from political conven-
tfons of all shades approval of the prop
osition of the association to protect and
foster American shipping interests by
a discriminating duty upon dutiable
imports carried on American bottoms,
less than the duty charged upon i'm
ports carried upon foreign ship bot
toms.
The National Republican Convention
adopted it, but the National Demo-
cratic not only refused, but denounced
protection. The association, therefore,
in perfect harmony with it's original
purpose began to urge the support OF

tice that his relations as Vice Pres1-
Dental nominee and President of the
association were antagonistic. After
two months delay Mr.. Sewal resigned
the Presidency of the association, Civ
ing as a reason that the organization
was promoting the election of McKin-
ley, and thus taking hand in politics,
which was foreign to it's purpose. He
reflected especially upon Secretary
Smith. Mr. Smith retorts that, on the
contrary, his work is directly in line
with the purposes of the association
while that it is not doing more now In
that direction than it did when Mr. Sc
wall was President
But if Mr.. Sewall as President Of the
association was right in urging the pro-
tective policy for American shipping
what is he, as Vice-Presidential nom
inee, when he opposes the very policy
he has for years so strenuously and
ably supported? It looks very much as
if Mr.. Sewall has been performing the

Mr.. Sewall secured the adoption in the
