their tender years they have always es-
capped punishment.
Near the home of Chenoweth, who has
already been sent to Whittier. was found
a cave which tle two boys had excavated
under a shed. In the cave was large
amount of plunder, representing many
raids by the youthful thieves. While in

DR.. Emil G. Hirsch. the eminent Jew

oy declaring the jewish Sabbath is
lead. He advocates it's abandonment,
md says that it is doomed to be wiped

up in the necessity Of adopting the re-
igion to the customs of the country in
which it may be transpanted. This
:adical utteTanCe has aroused great op-
position in other sections, particularly
he East, and it is declared to be the
beginning of a traceless fight which
will rend the Jewish church. The con-
gregation of Sinai Temples is a large
one, and Dr. Hirsch seems to have the
support of his parisioners in the step
he has taken toward abrOgating the
exclusive features of the Jewish taith.
Among the prominent visitors to Chi

He was presumably not in town study

he public has readily associated his
lame with a cabinet Office, that OF Sec
'etary of War. In fact, it may be said
hat Col. Grant is the only open aspir-
mt for a cabinet position who has yet

would like to hold the war portfolio,

personal friend Of the PreeIdent-elect

the latters trip through Iowa two
years ago. Col. Grant has many friends
here, and 1t is quite generally believed
that he is likely soon to enter upon
a political career that will bring him
prominently before the people OF the
whole country, even If he does not at

The scheme as we have stated before
this, is to retire the greenback paper
currency and let bank paper take its
place. Major McKinley's pledge in his
letter of acceptance is adverse to this as
the following extract will show. 'It
(the Republican party will keep in
circulation and as good as gold all of the
silver and paper money which are now
included in the currency of the country"
A promise hardly can be more explicit.
1t was upon that promise that Major
Mckinley was elected president, and the
nation will hold the Republican party
to its fulfllment. 1t follows thai it is
useless to discuss the retirement of the
Sherman bullion notes or of the green
backs; for the retirement of either would
break the pledge made by Candidate
Mckinley in behalf of the Republican
party. 1t would not "keep in circula
ton all the paper money now included
In the currency"

william +. Chandler, senator from New
Hampshire, says in the December issue
of the National Review:
'The United States is opposed to the
single gold standard, and that gold and
silver should be admitted to free coin
age as the standard money of the world,
and the measure of values of the world
would receive the suffrages of four-6fths
of the voters of the United States if fairly
presented to them, even without further
debate.
'The advocates of gold monometallism
are crying out that the silver question is
dead, They hope but do not really be.
lieve that this is true.
"The fact that over out of l3 million
American voters gave their ballots for
immediate free silver coinage alone
shows that the question is one that must
be met and adjusted in some way. Mr..
Mckinley is pledged by his own words
to cooperate with u.s."
The above is really quite confession
coming as it does from Republican
leader. Senator Chandler acknowledges
the fact and his party platform on which
Major Mckinley was elected resolved
for bimetallism, only hinging it upon
the consent of other nations. Straight
forward Americans do not political bust
ness in that way, and hence the Chicago
convention proclaimed the gold and
silver money of the constitution with
free coinage of both. No step children
in our political house.

PAPERS AGAINST
M,KINLEYIsM.

There are Republicans and Republican
papers that do not favor o MCKINLEY
protective tariff. The New York Even
ing Post is one Of these, and from the
Post we take the following:
"It is pretty certain" the Minneapolis
Journal (Rep.) gsays, "that any attempt
to run protective duties,up to the figures
Of the law of 1890 on woolen aud worsted
cloths, blankets, dress goods, and In some
other schedules, will not succeed, as the
experience Of the past has convinced
many Republicans that the exploitation
Of such measure of.protectlon IL distaste-
ful to the country and will start again the
old CRY that the Republican party is In
league with capitalistio monopolies.
The Portland oregonisn (Rep.) has
no expectation of the passage Of the
Dingley bill and is not partial to an extra
session of congress. In these oircum-
stances, IL suggests "a pure revenue tariff
that is, a tariff upon articles not pro
duoed in this country, the whole fruit
of which goes into the treasury al
revenue. A duty of about 39 per cent
on tea and coffee, It thinks, would NEE
the deficiency. COR" IL adds, "it for an!
reason congress dues not desire to tax tel
and coffee, the same amount oan be raiset
by doubling the Insignificant interna
| revenue tax on beer.
These journals recognize the govern
ment as the agent Of the people, the en-
tire people, mot of few. Some Of us ais
take this view and 20 a step further
claiming that the Constitution recognize
silver as we'll as gold to be tender i
payment of debts, as all statesmen of al
parties did until 1873. We also take
that gold, refined gold, gilded by law 70
the sacred money lords alone, while tn
people, the business and labor people
may get along with depreoi 'ted silver, an
bank paper which is not legal tender |
payment of debts.

Fraudulent Claims for BountIes Said to

Fraudulent Claims for BountIes Said to
Amount to S5O,oOO In California.
There was a meeting of the State
board of examiners recently, at which
the matter of coyote scalp claims was
discussed and final action taken relative
to the manner in which claims are to
be taken up and acted upon.
The last legislature passed an appro-
priation to pay off these claims, but 1t
had come to the knowledge of the gov
ernor that many Of them, amounting
to thousands of dollars, were fraudu-
lent. These fraudulent claims came
mostly, so it is alleged, from Fresno
and Kern counties, and will aggregate
over $4,000. Gov. Budd claims to have
evidence that thousands of scalps OF
prairie wolves were shipped from the
east and delivered to the county clerks
who gave those who presented them
certificates and destroyed the scalps.
The original packages in which these
scalps were shipped and the shipping
receipts are in the hands Of the board
Of examiners, and it is rumored that
the frauds may involve number Of su-
pervisors a.id possibly a county clerk
or two. The intention is to take up the
claims one at time and act on them.
An appropriation will be asked from
the next legislature sufficient to pay all
the claims, but giving to the board
power to withdraw payment of any
claims considered dubious, so as to al
low of further examination. The board
will also ask thai the law making the
appropriation make 1t perjury to tes-
tify falsely concerning the claims, and
will subpoena many claimants under
suspicion.
The board passed the following res
olution. which is OF interest to all hold
ers Of claims for coyote scalp bounties,
and adjourned:
Whereas, A large number of coyote
scalp claims, approved by board of su-
pervisors of the various counties of this
State, have been filed with the State
board Of examiners for consideration
and transmission to the legislature
with the boards recommendation and,
Whereas, 1t has been charged that
coyote scalps have been imported int
some of the counties from other states
and territories, and that grave frauds
nave been committed in procuring the
| approval Of some Of the claims, there
| ,ore be 1t
Resolved, By he State board Of ex-
iminers. that it proceed to examine and
consider said claims by quarters in or
! Ter Of presentation and by counties in
heir alphabetical order, and that
claimants need not go to the expense
Of appearing before the board of ex
examiners at said hearing unless noti-
| led by publication or otherwise"
Gov Budd says he thinks the frau
iulent claims will aggregate $50,00O.-

1t does not seem that farmers have
been benefited to any extent by the
late advance in wheat, Most of the
available crop had been cornered by the
syndicates and elevator companies. The
New York "World" says that Wall
street farmer" who held options on a
million bushels, purchased at 65 cents,
sold out at 80, giving him profit of
s25O,OOO. Two San Francisco operators,
who anticipated the advance and pur-
chased largely for the East India market,
cleared respectively 100000 and $780,
600. 1t seems it was the money farmers
who got the advance, not the toiling
farmers.

Common soda is all right In its place

people who use IL as such will some day
regret It.
We refer to tho common use of soda TO
relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a
habit which thousands Of people practice
almost daily, and one which Is fraught
with danger; moreover, the soda only
gives temporary relief and in the end the
stomach trouble gets worse and worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irritant
to the walls Of the stomach and bowels
and cases are on record where 1t aooumu-
lated in the intestines, causing death by
Inflammation or peritonitis.
DI. Harlandson recon mends as the
safest and surest cure for sour stomach
(aoid dyspepsis) an excellent preparation
sold by druggists under the name OF
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. These tab
let's are large 20-graip lozenges, very
pleasant TO taste and contain the natura

essential to good digestion, and when
taken after meals they digest the food
perfectly and promptly before it has time
TO ferment, sour and poison the blood
and nervous system.
DR.. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuart,s Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases Of stomach arrangements and finds
them certain cure not only for sour
stomach, but by promptly digesting the
food they create healthy appetite, in
crease flesh and strengthen Jbe action Of
the heart end liver. They are not n

diseases and weakness and will be found
