In a recent letter touching the charge
so glibly made by silver standard editors
and orators, who are either ignorant or
mendacious. that he at one time. eight
cen years since, favored free silver coin
age, and that therefore in his present at
titude on the money question he is in
consistent. Secretary Carlisle after en-
phatically denying that he at any time
ever spoke or voted in congress in favor
of free coinage, expresses himself in
the following manly and sensible way
about the alleged point of "inconsist-
ency:"
Il am more anxious to be right than
to be consistent. and If the gentlemen
who quote garbled extracts from an old
speech. made when the conditions were
entirely different from what they are
now, can convince me by fair argument
that any of my present opinions upon
that or any other subject are erroneous
l will not hesitate to abandon them.
They cannot convince me, however, nor
in my opinion can they convince others
by personal abuse or misrepresenta-
ton. or by asserting. or even proving.
that my opinions are different now from
what they were at some time in the
past"

THE THIRTIETH OF MAY

The rolling year brings round once
more our consecrated holiday; the day
this nation loves to keep. All over this
welded land today, wherever the union
savers sleep wherever the defeated
gray-coats sleep beautiful May, with
her lap full of flowers, is decking their
grass grown graves. For the bitter, I'M
fraterlal feelings which brought on the
civil war, and the sectional hates grow
ing out of it, have alike faded down to
the afternoon of history and will soon
be swallowed up in the calm night of
oblivion.
1.-THE mighty mother turns. in tears,
The pages of her battle years
Recalling all her fallen sons
The republic is peace. We are forty
five states, united, peaceful, free, anx-
ious to prove that the foundations of
this stupendous political fabric were laid
by our forefathers in wisdom. The 70.
mentor of sectional strife has lost his
occupation. The great captains of the
war, dead and living, on both sides, have
honor
"Wher er they be. in field or mart
In camp, or senate or the grave
We hold them in one common heart.
And all our hands salute the brave"
Patriotic throngs will move today
from out this lively city where we dwell
to our verdant "cites of the dead" to the
sound of martial music and with gar
lands in their hands. They will go with
their floral offerings, their banners and
their songs, to where our boys in blue"
are encamped, who bivouac silently I'M
der the hill.
Perchance, OF the throng at the graves
today, in the midst of their comrades
gone before, will be those who will hear
faint far call, blown down from the
heavenly battlements, who will strain
their ears for reveille that is meant
unto them alone. Before their mental
vision will float pictures of red battle,
where undaunted comrades heard their
doom from the screaming mortar's
mouth, and whose souls went up in the
murky cloud of the lannon's awful
breath. And who shall say that. gazing
into the empyrean today. they may not
see afar glittering legions wheeling in
grand review through the gates of the
City Beautiful-as others cannot see!
What is the fair philosophy of the
thirtieth of May?
They tell US the field of Gettysburg,
that was ''sown with bullets and reaped
with blades" and watered with bloody
dew, is yielding no harvest of murderou
things but armies of grassy bayonets
and the anemones of spring. If nature
has been thus mindful, We say, to hide
the scars that her bosom bears, wrought
by a civil war, it is meet that we, too.
should remember the battle only to
cover our dead with flowers and keep
their memory green.
This is the fair philosophy of the
thirtieth of May.

THE PRESIDENTS VETO

IN harmony with the expectation of
many well informed persons at the fed
eral capital, the president has vetoed
the river and harbor appropriation bill,
This is the first instance during his oc-
cupancy of the executive chair of the
Union that he has seen fit to give official
recognition to measure of the kind
Heretofore he has been content to ex-
press his disapproval of the river and
harbor bills in negative fOrm-he has
permitted them to become laws without
his signature. He has felt that they
have been so permeated with jobbery
and SO pregnant with schemes for the
waste of public funds that he could not
conscientiously affix to them his name,
yet rather than prevent the carrying out
of legitimate and useful projects pro-

Means Something

When Colonel Harrison Gray OTIS
speaks without the responsibilities OF
journalism he should not be taken too
seriously. When he confers with his
friend Mckinley he is Just plain poll
tician. who is as likely to be in error as
any other man. The report that Colonel
Otis has Informed Candidate Mckinley
that the free coinage resolutions passed
by the late Republican state convention
did not mean anything, may be con-
strued as an expression Of opinion on the
part Of Colonel Otis that California Re-
publicans will accept the national plat
form if it does not square in every re-
spect with their state platform. Ii this
is all that Colonel Otis intended to say
he will have no explanation to make
when he returns to California.-San

but cause all pupils to have q deeper
love for the flag and all that It repre-
sents. Among the patriots who spoke
were Gen. Campbell, Rev. j. 8. Pitman,

variations, were as follows:

The matter of an adequate supply Of

The matter of an adequate supply Of
water for Westlake park should receive
the prompt attention of the city coun-
ell. With the approach of the warm sea-
son more liberal irrigation will be alb
solutely necessary. The park has been
brought to high state Of development
and has become in consequence the
most popular outdoor resort Of the city.
1t would be almost criminal to allow
the beauty of the place, the result of
many years of toll and large expendi-
lures to be destroyed or even impaired
because of an insufficiency of something
that can be secured in abundance at
little additional cost. BY all means let
Westlale and all the other parks have
water and plenty of 1t.

sons than those of policy. the highways
and byways Of the community should be
kept free of rubbish and stagnant pools.
These latter are neither attractive to
strangers nor conducive to health in the
resident. 1t is to be hoped that the
remedial action recommended by the
health officer will be taken and that
without delay.

Decidedly Queer.

A man named John Slack was up be-
fore Justice Curtis this forenoon charged
with breaking window in Ryan's
store. Slack was seen early this morn
ing throwing a stone at the big plate
glass front, but which luckily struck one
OF the smaller panes of stained glass
above the plate glass. He pleaded not
guilty and was tried by the court and
found guilty, as the witnesses stories
proved. He was fined so and costs and
also paid $3.50, the value OF the window
pane. No reason is given for such an
act Of deliberate foolishness, unless the
man was intoxicated, but he did not
stagger and from appearances was in
his sober mind. He is an agent who
sells clocks, mackintoshes and like arti-

count OF one who was there, a fisherman
son named Allen Olson was shot in the
leg and hand while in the woods about

The shooting was done with shot gun,
