HARES AND HOUNDS.
Successful Opening of the Incl0sed
COurSing Park.

The Inauguration Of inclosed coursing
in Sacramento at Agricultural Park
yest sterday was we'll attended. The
weather was grand, the ground as soft
as velvet, the dogs in good condition,
and the hares were demons, running as
fast as on their native heath in Mer-
ced. San Francisco was represented
by some of her best dogs, and the large
contingent Of Bay City sports who came
up to back their pets had the satisfac-
ton of taking back first prize.
OF the judging by John Grace, Jr.,
and the slipping by James Wren, both
Of San Francisco, It can only be said
that their work was perfect, not single
complaint having been heard all day.
A large crowd was in attendance, and
this new style of coursing will no doubt
be well patronized by Sacramento
leaShmen.
The winner of the stake, Sly Boy,
owned by M. Rogers is by the cele-
brated Skyrocket, dam Sly Girl, and
is a brother to the fast and clever Ruby,
winner Of the big stake at Ingleside ON

ROBBERY AT NEW HOPE.
The Proprietor of a Store Stood Up
There Last Night.

Sheriff Johnson last night received
word from the village Of New Hope, on
the Mokelumne River, that at about
o'clock the store of Klaupfer s. Cob
lentz in that place was robbed by a
masked man.
Mr.. Coblentz was alone in the store
when the robber entered and covered
him with a pistol. The latter's features
were entirely concealed by a white
mask which appeared to have been
made from a piece Of muslin.
He was about five feet eight inches
i'll hight and Of stout build. His pistol
was a cheap-looking, nickal-plated
weapon, apparently of thirty-two cal
iber.
The robber did not take much from
the store. He got a forty-five caliber
Colts improved pistol (blue), the six
chambers of which were loaded. There
are three file marks inside the trigger
guard. He also took from Coblentz a
nearly new So greenback, a smooth
silver quarter, the figures of which are
rot discernible, and few other things
of the total value of about $25.
The robber wore a black slouch hat,
a blue jumper and dark trousers.

MONDAY 49,

that Republicans shall knife their own
local ticket and defeat Messrs. Brusie,
Sims, Ennis and Lovdal, and make the
election Of Gator to the United States
Senate a certainty. Nothing short of
insanity can move Republicans to so
act.
From this hour until the close Of the
polls on the Sd of November there
should be solemn duty assumed by
every man loyal to the Republican
party and protection of American in
dustries, and that is to begin and con-
tinue personal canvass with his
neighbors in behalf of the regular Re-
publican candidates, from Mckinley
Electors to the last candidate on the
ticket
This personal electioneering is the
most effective kind 1t is of the order
that wins. It is of the kind contem-
plated by the genius of the American
system. Personal likes and dislikes
must be buried. in this campaign, So
licitation to vote for an opponent to
the regular Republican ticket because
he is good fellow" or because Of
personal friendship should be put stern
ly aside. Duty to principle and our
common country should rise superior
to all other considerations.
The disgrace of sending Thomas ".
Gator to occupy a seat in the highest
legislative tribunal Of the land must
be averted. California wants in that
place a representative man, not a car
pet bagger and brawler, a shifter and
trimmer, a man claiming to be a Cali
fornian solely for place, a man identi-
fed with no State interests and un-
known to the history of the State in
any reputable activity.
That one or all of the side-show can
dldateS declare that they will not vote
for him if elected amounts to nothing
since there is no possible chance Of
their being called upon to vote for any
body. There is about the same proba-
bility Of any one of them being elected
that there is of their taking flight to
the moon

Va, :th a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle eefforts-pleasante efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
iv removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
ali Important, in order to, get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
ard the system is regular, laxatlves or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and 3 res most general satisfaction.

Quality In Horses.

prove the quality more vigorously than
70 increase the numbers of their horses
England has only 1923, 900, while we
nave in the United States 16, 900 600
horses, a very small per cent of which
are suitable for city market and ex-
port. Russia has 80, 900, 900 horses Of
sui more inferior quality, unfit for any
market and too small for farm work
Inc Russian trotter has had the en-
enlargement of the government. Now
the peasants are urging the govern
ment to furnish them with draft horses
suitable for their farm work to haul
the heaVy farm machines. Small horses
In large numbers will impoverish apv
country, and it is we'll for America that
the ranch horse and the little trotter no
longer pay for their feed, while there
IS such great demand for high-class
draft n coach horses at high prices
because they are so scarce.-Ex.

Free Coinage Would Help.

To the Editor of the World: In grant
Ing that the free coinage of silver
would help the farmer by raising the
price Of his wheat, corn, cotton, hay,
pork, beef, chickens, eggs, butter, po-
tatoes, etc., you have in fact pointed
out the red string which leads to the
solution of the whole question.
The farmers and agricultural work
ers are the backbone Of the country,
being in vast majority Of all the other
producers of wealth.
BY raising the prices of farm prod
hcts the farmers would be benefited di-
rectly, thereby enabling them to pay
higher wages to their help.
This would again have a tendency
to increase the wages of "laborers, me-
chanics and artisans" in two ways:
1. Being more money in agricultural
work. a great part of the oversupply Of
%t"laborers, mechanics and artisans" that
depend solely upon the wages they
cannot get a chance to earn in the cit
les will turn to agricultural pursuits.
2. The laborers, mechanics and arti-
sans left in the cities will get higher
wages by an increased demand for their
products from their fellow-workers on
the farms, and also by having steady
work be more able to meet their gro
GERS and butchers bills than they are
now with farm products cheap, but
work only for half the time.

Dsss,.s Of British r.rm,nr.

The British Board Of Agriculture has
tdst issued its Official figures for 1895,
which tell an interesting and signif-
cant story. incidentally it appears that
the extent Of woodlands in Great Brit
ain is 2,726,000 acres, Of which 1872, 900
acres have been planted in the last
fifteen years. During the last year
there has been a gain of about 80. 900
acres. The most striking figures relate
TO the shrinkage in the amount of land
under the pillow, which was increased
by the unpropitions character of the
autumn seed time of 1894 and early
spring OF 1895. More than $40, 900
acres less of wheat were grown and 81
oOO acres less of minor grain crops, rye,
Deans and peas. One-fffth part of the
surface withdrawn from these crops or
from wheat was devoted to barley and
oats; but the corn land of 1895 was less
by nearly $4,000 acres than that of
1884, while weather conditions, check
ing the preparation of the customary
urea Tor turnips and other green crops,
caused a further reduction Of 112, 900
acres under this cultivation. The sur
FACE under potatoes, small fruit, lu-
cerne and flax was larger by Al, 900
acres, and the acreage left under bare
1allow was extended by nearly 100, 900
acres.
The net reduction of arabic land was
I9''ooo acres. and the net addition to
inc permanent pasture a little over
l4o'ooo acres. The actual loss of arabic
area IN the last two decades is 2.137.-
eoO acres. The reduction of wheat
growing alone accounts for most Of this
ioss. Under this head there was a total
OF more han 1900, 900 acres
tween 1879 and 1895. More than a
tnlrd OF the decline in the arabic area.
ana more than half of this reduction
IN wheat acreage, occurred in the last
tive years Of the twenty.

BoOms Business.
N. HOWESTOLL.

To the Editor of the World: The
value of silver and gold as mediums of
exchange is dependent upon the fiat Of
the people, and while it does not follow
that wealth is thereby created, yet it is
a fact that increase in the volume of ex-
changeable money has a reviving eff
feet upon business.
Immediately after the government es-
tablishes free coinage at 16 to 1 the
Drice of silver would at once jump to
that figure, and if, as we are told, sill
YER would pour in upon us from all
narts of the world for coinage at our
mints, why let it come on, for the re-
suit would be that as they could not ex-
change it for gold they would have to
nav it out for our commodities or use
it for other purposes in this country,
which would be beneficial to us. There
would be no such thing as a 50-cent
dollar unless we yield to foreign die
tatioa, which is un-American and trea-
sonable. RuNNlE REICH.

Silver Means Prosperity.

To the Editor of the World: From
the minute the farmer becomes prosper
Gus by an increased income for his
labor his purchasing ability of indus
trial products will increase and the
workingman and artisan will have more
work. If there is a sudden increase in
the demands for industrial product,
labor will be plentiful and the number
of unemployed will correspondingly di-
minish; hence an increase in wages.
We have in this country about M me-
chanic or industrial laborer or artisan
to every four engaged in agricultural
pursuits; hence four in prosperity can
and will easily elevate the n less
prosperous. Ergo, we should all vote
for Bryan and silver!

Government Regulation Of Wealth

On Jan. IA, 1895, the World-Herald
contained an editorial from Mr.. Bry-
ans pen on the subject Of "vast
wealth." He said:
1T is possible for one citizen to in
jure another with a club or with a wea-
pom, but that is not the only way. The
gamblers on the Board of Trade may
injure the farmer by decreasing the
price of his grain, or they may injure
the person who buys farm products by
increasing the price. Whether their
manipulations of the markets hurt the
one class or the other, they do an in
jury. Trusts crush out small competit-
ors, and, then having a monopoly, ex-
tort higher prices from purchasers.
There are many indirect methods by
which one person can injure another.

To Smash the Trusts.

To the Editor of the World: We sec
In this silver a something to smash
iron and other trusts. Men who have
formed coal, iron, oil, sugar and other
trusts have had their fling with every
administration too long. The evils of
free coinage are problematical, but the
evils we have been suffering are real,
u%ndeniable. If by adopting free silver
we can rid ourselves of the leaders who
have so betrayed us-well. They say

ion and interest. Shouting for your so
cent dollar has no backing. 1t is sim
ply throwing sand in the peoples eyes.
1t is misleading. Gold would not have
it's present value if it was not used by
nations as money, and the same is the
case with silver. AS SOC as silver is
re-established by this nation it will at
once jump up in value. AS soon as the

For Bryan and a Sound Money House
To the Editor of the World: Every
Democratic newspaper before the Chi
cage Convention denounced Mckinley.
Did he change since? Do you not think
that a man like Bryan is more for the
plain people of the country than Nc
Kinley? Don't you think that if a free
silver bill would pass Congress that
Mckinley would sign it?
Let every Democrat vote for sound
money Congressman and the silver
ghost would never be heard of. And
then with a man like Bryan in the
White House trusts and monopolies
would not dare to ask %favors, nor would
the country have to fear any high pro-

Government vs. Corporation

To the Editor of the World: Every
man who knows anything at all about
the currency knows that there is not
gold enough in the world to do 10 Der
cent of the worlds business. The Issue
is not between gold and silver, but
whether we shall have a Government
currency of the precious metals con-
trolled by the people or a currency 80
per cent. corporation notes and 10 per
cent. precious metal. If we are to have
a paper-note currency issued by private
corporations it will be controlled in
Europe, and Europe will control our
trade and labor AS an Americana am
in favor of home rule for American
labor, and therefore I favor money of
the mints, a currency of the precious
metals freely coined. There is no other
honest money. B.
