clares that he is not ready to leave the
democratic party, even if it declare for
a gold standard at Chicago. We want
to know this: If the Sedalla conven-
ton and the Chicago convention both
declare for the gold standard and we
return Senator Vest to the senate, will
he then also advocate and vote for a
cold standard and cease his efforts to
restore silver to its place as redemption
money! Or, if the Sedalia convention
indorses the free coinage of silver and
the Chicago convention the gold stand
ard, will he then advocate the gold
standard in the halls of congressp A

SENATOR VESTS REPLY.
WASHINGTON, d. c.,

WASHINGTON, d. c.,
March 20, 1896.
Ny attention has just been called to
the above communication In the iron
County Register of the 18th inst.
The writer knows very little OF me,
as is made evident by his questions
1 am sincerely and u~nreserved.y for
the free coinage of silver as redemption
money, and no convention could COM
pei me to advocate the single gold
standard or vote for it IN the senate.
If the Chicago convention declares
against free coinage l shall moi quit the
party, but will remain a democrat,
hoping that a majority of the party
NAV be brought in the future to my
opinion. 1 will not assist in destroy
ing the democratic party so that the
republicans may have undisputed con-
troll and the single gold standard be
fastened upon the country for all m
As to my action in the senate, it can
only be controlled, outside OF my own
Judgment, by instructions from the
state legislature of Missouri. L believe
in the right of instruction, except
where the senator thinks the proposed
legislation unconstitutional, and in that
event he cannot commit perjury even
if instructed by those who have elected
him. If the legislature of Missouri
should instruct me to vote for the
single gold standard 1 would resign
and permit them to elect a senator In
accord with their opinions.
Where no constitutional question Is
involved | hold that a senator should
obey instructions or resign, but these
instructions must come from the legis-
lature of the state, not from a con-
v~ention.
If the Chicago convention declares
against free coinage | shall not defend
its action, nor will | leave the party.
| am too old t. hunt another political
home, and / will die as 1 have lived, a
true democrat.
No intelligent man expects to have
all he desires in public or private
matters, and no patriotic izize will
assist in destroying al organization
with whose general objects and prin-
ciples he sympathizes because the
majority decide against him on one
issue.

He released from Jail only yesterday

Los ANGELES, CAL, Feb. 29.-Judge
B. n. Smith of Department 1 of the Supe-
rior Court locked horns with vengeance
this morning with Assistant District At
torney W. I. Williams, and the latter is
disbarred from practicing in his court
pending the determination of contem pit
proceedings which have been set by the
Judge for Monday morning. The trouble
arose over remarks made by Mr.. Williams
on Thursday afternoon in the courtroom
after the court had adjourned and Judge
Smith had retired to his chambers.
After Judge Smith had left the court
room, Mr.. Williams, who was very much
wrought up over the instructions in GER
tain case, INDUCED in violent language
about the Judges instructions, and wanted
to know why the Judge had not decided
the matter like man before leaving the
bench and retiring to his chambers. He
irdulged in some conlectures involving
the Judges ancestry.
Before proceeding with the business of
the day this morning Judge Smith adj
dressed Mr.. Williams, who was present TO
try burglary case, and told him that he
had been informed of the violent language
Williams had used, and that he consid-
cred ii contempt. Mr.. Williams wanted
to know who had told the court about it,
but this the Judge declined to state, say.
ing merely that he had the language in
writing and it would be made a part of
his remarks, to be taken down by the
court stenographer. He did not desire to
make personal matter of such an occur
renee, but he considered the language an
insult to the court, and an attorney guilty
of using it should not practice before him
until he purged himself OF the contempt
Judge Smith cited Mr.. Williams to ap-
pear before the court on Monday and
answer to a charge of contempt.

Within twenty miles of Bakersfield,
on the Southern Pacific railroad, is
little way station named Poso. 1t is the
home of the gentleman whose portrait
appears above. Mr.. Eugene Mccarthy
is carpenter in the EN- mploy of the Kern
Land Company in Kern County. l can
not give you minute description of Mr..
Mccarthy, still the few tracings will
convey to your mind what whole
souled, downright good-hearted fellow
he is. Rugged. even picturesque in
speech, with fund of native humor, he
presents to you the correct idea of the
true son of toll.
Mac is believed in Poso. You can see
that if you just walk little behind him
and watch the fellows who speak to him
as he passes by. There is that peculiar
glitter in their eyes that tells you that
Mac is the proper sort Of fellow to go to
when one is in trouble; that he never
forgets friend and is quite likely to for
give an enemy.
l was charmed with Mr.. McCarthy's
conversation. He spoke so feelingly. it
was really a pleasure to talk to this
honest workaday fellow. He had his
views too. He knew the needs OF the
people. He realized their necessities,
and he was for ameliorating them. What
Interested me most was his own PERSONAL
