THEIR FALSE GODS.
Bryan and Mckinley Are Both
Fetch Worshipers.
EACH IS Welded TO A MANIA.

Bryan's Vicious Appeals to Ignorant Pref
udice and His Pre-eminent Puerility on
Economic Questions Are No More Con-
demnable Than McKinley's Superstitious
Alteration o. the idea That Prosperity
Can Be Created by Act of Congress, In
oreasing Taxation.
It is only fair to say that while w.
j. Bryan Is pre-eminent among presi
Dental candidates for ignorance and
puerility as to economic questions, and
while he is unapproached in his vic
ious appeals to ignorance and preju-
dice, yet he is not the only candidate
who deserves severe criticism.
We hear Mckinley saying in one of
his multitude of speeches: Industry
must come first. Labor precedes all
else 1t is the foundation of wealth; it
is the creator of all wealth."
This, though not scientifically exact,
Is in the main true. In saying it Nc
Kinley had in mind the Bryan scheme
for creating prosperity by an act OF
congress relating to coinage. His
words implied, what is true, that wealth
is not produced by an act of congress
or any legislation whatever, but by la
Dor. Labor sis the creator of all
wealth." And labor, aided by the
products Of antecedent labor is the
creator of all wealth.
But in the same speech he assumed
that an act of congress was the first
essential; he assumed that the factor
les could not be opened and that wealth
could not be produced without an act

properly that the books taken away
by Capt Reid from Tanning Island
should be returned, and he ordered
these books 10 be lodged in court by 9
o'clock next morning. And in order to
prevent costs which would be involved
in any fresh proceedings there would
be a further order that all parties
should be at liberty to apply with prop

ent proceedings to abide the result of
any such application. His Honor in
timated further that it would be well
if, until the accounts were before the
court, Capt Reid were to refrain from
taking away any produce from the
islands.
The Attorney General asked if Mr..
Garrick would give an undertaking that
Capt Reid would abstain. Mr.. Gar
rick, however, declined to give any
such undertaking. The Attorney Cen
eraI thereupon asked for an injunction
to restrain Capt Reid from so inter
fering. His Honor said he would hear
the application at IL o'clock the next
morning, but being informed that Capt.
Reid proposed to leave the colony be-
fore that time he said he would hear
the application at once. Mr.. Garrick
objected that there was no such ap-
the his
said he thought there was; the petition
asked for further relief and directions,
and application for an injunction had
been made by the Attorney General.
After some further discussion His
Honor then granted an injunction pro-
hibiting Capt. Reid, until the accounts
were filed or further order of the court
made, from interfering with the man
agement of the estate or taking away
any produce or property belonging
thereto from Tanning or Washington
Islands.
AS the petitioners counsel intimated
that it was Capt. Reid's intention to
proceed to Tanning Island on business,
and as he would give no undertaking
to obey the terms of the injunction,
His Honor said he should feel it his
duty to cause the matter to be brought
before the notice of the High Commits
sioner, with a view possib8X of pre-
venting Capt Reid going to flaming
or Washington Islands at all, for it
would clearly be improper for Capt.
Reid to remove any produce from
these islands, and if he attempted to do

probably ensue. Peace and good order
must be preserved in the outlying ISL
ands of the Pacific. The High Com
missioner had the power to interpose
the strong arm of the executive in ord
er to prevent any breach of the peace,
and the petitioner would do well not to
set the order of the court at defiance.

WILLING TO CHEER HIM.

A Comedian Tells of His Expert.
ence With a Political Friend.
Harry Corson Clarke, in speaking
of his recent attack of illness to some
friends yesterday, remarked:
MY last attack was in Milwaukee,
when / was with Jarbeau. and it was
a stem winder. I'm subject to them,
and have been ever since / was a young
'un, and used TO sleep in a trunk at
the theater while my father and moth
er were playing leads. 1 guess it is the
result of being over-fed, because actors
and actresses like babies, and my moth
er tells me they used to feed me ev-
erything from peanut candy to the
property chicken.
"But the attacks are growing worse;
when / have one the doctor orders
absolute quiet; I can't bear sound.
Well, this time in Milwaukee, while
was so bad that the doctors were
ready to give me up, friend of mine
from London, Ontario, happened to
be in the city and he called to cheer
me up-at least, that's what he said.
He fairly jumped around the room,
and he upset the chairs, but I was too
weak to stop him, and my nurse had
gone out for half hour He whistled
Sweet Violets'' and then came over
and sat on the bed. The jar almost
threw me into a CONFUSION, but l
could not restrain him. Finally he
went over to the fireplace and pulled
out the board used to fill up the space
during the summer when fire was not
needed. You know what it is-about
two feet by three, with hole for the
pipe to go through. 1 looked at him and
wondered, then wished for strength and
an axe He laid the board on the floor
and stepped on it, then touched the
electric button and remarked: Say,
Clarke, you need comfortin' an amuse-
ment, an I'm the one what kin give it
to you. When that bell boy comes up
you tell him you want quart of white
sand, and when he brings it, 1 will give
you the finest sand jig you ever seen
in your life When I regained con-
seriousness the fellow had gone, and
have not seen him since, but I'm look
ing for him."

NUT CANDIES.

Put the white of an egg into glass
and add an equal amount of water.
Beat together until well mixed; then
put into a bowl and add enough pull
verified (confectioners' xxx is best)
sugar to thicken it. Add one teaspoon
full of vanilla or a very few drops of
extract of rose. Take the stones from
dates and make roll of the sugar mix
ture and place in the date, as you see
it done with confectioners' candy. You
may also place the kernels of English
walnuts on either side of a round piece
of the mixture, pinching the nuts
slightly together, or cut pecan nut
or an almond in halves, and put the
pieces of nuts on a small piece of the
candy. You may vary this in many
other ways, and so make very at
tractive variety of candy.

Johnson, of Lynn Center, ILL.,, is sub

says he is satisfied that the timely use
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, dur

member of the firm of Johnson Bros.
of that place; and they handle a great
many patent medicines for throat and
lung diseases. He had all these to
chose from, and skilled physicians
ready to respond to his call, but Sc
lected this remedy for use in his own
family at a time when his child's life
was in danger, because he knew it to
be superior to any other, and famous

Enthusiastic Ladies Take Off
Their Coats and Work With

FLOATING PALACES OF BEAUTY.
All the Shipping in the Harbor Will
Be Illuminated = Music and
General Festivity.

SAN DIEGO, Call, Feb. 27.-The water
carnival to be given Saturday night is
rapidly assuming proportions that assure
grand display. New features are being
added daily. almost hourly, and as the
ladies have fallen into line to assist, the
work of the committee grows easier.
Yacht decorations will begin at the Santa
Fe wharf tomorrow morning, and it is
thought that most of the vessels will be
ready for illumination long before Satur-
day evening.
Several clubs of young ladies and gentle
men have chartered fine yachts on the
bay, and they will be transformed into
floating palaces of beauty. The ferry y-boat
Silver Gate has been chartered by the
Launch Club, and will be covered with
brilliant and attractive lights.
The vessel will be in tow of the tug
Santa Fe over the entire route and will
enable people by hundreds to enjoy an ex-
cursion of eight or ten miles, and at the
same time view the procession to great
advantage.
The full City Guard band will be sta
toned on the Silver Gate, and the ad-
miral's band will be on the flagship Phila-
delphia. The steamers Thetis and Alba
tross and the merchandising in the harbor
will be in line. A barge having headlights
at the four corners and otherwise ilIumi-
mated will be anchored where the Monterey
now lies, and from this the Roman can
dies, skyrockets and red and blue fires will
be ignited.
The line of march has been changed by
Grand Marshal Friend so that the process
sion will go in single ssrpentine form to
the north turn, when a double sinuous
line will make the countermarch
The parade will be dismissed by the exc
cution of an immense labyrinth, winding
and unwinding, the diameter of the circle
being about half mile across. These fes-
tivities will probably be repeated when the
Italian cruiser Cristoforo Colombo arrives.

Dole, who was arrested at San Francisco
yesterday on charge of forgery, is well
known; here. He was not only well known
in this city but at Pasadena, where his
parents, who are highly respected people,
reside. Dole was also at one time an
usher in fashionable church in this city
On the morning of February II, gentle
man answering Dole's description called
at the Exchange Bank at Santa Ana and
asked for certified check for So 90 re-
marking that il was small amount, but
that he wanted it TO oblige friend The
check was issued payable to f. C. Howard.
Last Friday Dole appeared in the State
Loan and Trust Cornpany's Bank where
he was we'll known, and presented check
for $3.50, saying to Teller Lewis that he
only wanted $500 and would leave the bal
ance on deposit. The cheek was made
payable to f. c. Howard or bearer, and
had the names as indorsers on the back OF
William +. Bosbyshell, Q. NJ. Hudson and
Charles +. Adams, all OF which proved to
be forgeries. Mr.. Lewis turned the check
over and glanced at the signature of Will
liam f. bosbvshell which he was quite
familiar with, and had no hesitancy in
paying over the money. 1t was clever
forgery. The following two days being
holidays, the check was not forwarded for
collection until Monday, when the Santa
Ana Bank advised the State Loan and
Trust Company OF the fraud, and Dole
arrest followed.

have been over five miles of pipe, about
four miles of which will be s-inch and one
mile of 6-inch.
A reservoirs is being built which is eighty
feet wide and 800 yards long and ten feet
deep. The sprinkling carts will be filled
from the main pipes direct, no storage
tanks being used except on the lateral
system of pipes when the distance is so
gre at that the friction retards the flow of
water and where it would take too long to
fill the carts from the pipes.
The tank system is recommended in
every case by all officers having experience
in road sprinkling.
A sprinkling cart holding 5000 gallons
of water can be filled from tank with a
6-inch discharge pipe in forty seconds. It
takes from four to six minutes to fill the
cart from a water main under pressure of
S0-foot head and 3-inch discharge. The
wagons are calculated to distribute 500
loads per day. making a saving OF about
four hours per day in the time of filling.
The reservoir and pipes will be so ar
ranged that they may be cleaned at any
time.
The estimated expense of putting in the
reservoir and the main line will be from
$4,000 to 10000, of which the Chico road
district will pay two-fifths and the county
general fund three-ffths. The sprinkling
of the roads has been indorsed by every
wheelman and every one who has ever
considered the subject.
