suffered injury in the military and naval
services of the country, Mr.. Bryan re
yeals that the interests of the veterans
can be safely confded to his care. It
will nu1lify the effort of some to array
the soldier against him.
1t has long been the complaint OF
the masses that all legislation is in
the interest of the wealthy classes. Mr.,
Bryan seems to have recognized this
concession to money by the law-malsing
bodies, and he points out the necessity
of protecting the masses in the free ex-
ereise of their political rights, and IN
the enjoyment of their just share of the
rewards of their labor.
During reeentyears the hosts of labor
have heard much about arbitration to
settle. disputes between eInploye and
employer. In nearly every instance
these propositions have been snares and
delusions intended to deceive the work
ing man. Mr.. Bryans correct explana-
ton of arbitration points out to the
worldngman how his interest can best
be served
The firm stand against trusts, the
demand that the government cease
trifing with the Pacific railroads, and
prosecute the claims of the people
against them, together with the hearty
support of struggling Cuba are other
features which will add to Mr. Bryan s
popularity, and draw to his standard
thousands of hesitating voters.
Mr.. Bryan wisely refuses to discuss
the tariff issue, because all reference
to that question a this time isinsincere.
Mr.. Mckinley knows, while talking
tariff, and promising high protection,
that even If elected there can be no
change for at least three years AS the
democratic candidate terseIy reviews
the situation: a.
Whatever may be the individual views
of citizens as to the relative merits of
protection and tariff reform, all must
recognize that until the money question
is fully and finally settled, the Aneri-
can people will not consent to the con-
sideration of any other important qres-
tion. Taxation presents a problem
which in some form is ntinually pres
ent, and % postponement of definite nc.

sonal opinion or political principles;

a PLEA FOR HOUSE PLANTS.
They Do More for Room Than Ter
Tiin.,a THAR Cost In Other rhinrs


They Do More for 8 Room Than Ten
Times Their Cost in Other Things.
A pretty idea in decorating ones
rooms for an entertainment is toplace
pots Of palms, growing ferns or flowers
on the shelves above the doors usually
devoted to pottery. Placed atthis eleya-
ton they are most effective and are, be-
sides, out of the way as regards wall and
floor space, which is often considera-
ton.
For plants that do not require sum
light the idea might be carried further,
and certain kinds might always be left
on such a shelf. Flowers give an air
to room that nothing else can impart
"a touch of nature, a coy, homelilse
air--but in our rage for the esthetic
they have in q measure been banished,
since both the pots and the shelves or
stands holding them are considered
unsightly. But the dull red of the com
mon flower pot has beauty of its own
and there is noreason why a sunny win
dow should not be fitted with strong
shelf, upheld by ornamental brackets.
and surrounded with fretwork or with
homemade arrangement of spindles
and balls, that would be graceful and
pretty.
Half a dozen well cared for plants on
this shelf will do more toward making
your room beautiful than fen. times
their cost expended in china or furniture
or wall paper. Your friends will loolSat
your blooming hyaeinths and your
sturdy. gerniums and forget to notice
how faded is the carpet and how worn

KICKED BY A HORSE
Aiva Hughes. q Ranch Hand, Is Instantly
Killed Near Redondo

telephone message yesterday after
noon summoned Coroner Campbell to
Redondo, where he was called upon to
investigate the death Of Alva Hughes.
80 years of age, a ranch hand by occu-
patton, who was killed some time Sat-
urday evening by kick from a horse.
Hughes worked for rancher named
Adolph Lencinger. whose place is just
outside the town limits of Redondo. On
Saturday evening after all work was
finished Hughes asked permission of
Lencinger to take a horse and ride into
the town. Redondo. This was readily
granted. and Hughes left the house, talk
Ing halter with him, to go to the cor
raj and saddle his nag.
Nothing more was heard of him. and
the fact that he did not return was
attributed to the supposition that he
had concluded to spend the night in the
town. Yesterday morning early some
boys came to Lencinger's door and told
him there was dead man lying in his
corral. This proved to be true. as
Hughes was found stiff and stark in
DEATH with the deep imprints of two
iron-shod hoofs in his breast over the
heart. There were six or eight ami
mails in the corral. but 1t is probable that
the particular horse that Hughes was to
have taken was the one that killed him.
as it was the most fractions Of the lot.
He must have approached the horse
to put the halter upon it, and received
the full force of the double kick as the
hoof marks were deeply imprinted upon
the broad chest. Death was caused by
rupture Of the heart. and must have
been practically instantaneous. A ver-
dict of accidental death in accordance
with the facts was rendered.

A r1ild Sensation

There was a mild sensation at the
city hall on Saturday when the bids
for the grading of Sixth street from
Bixel street to Burlington avenue were
opened. A technical objection appeared
in the bid of Ramish & Marsh, in that
certain amounts were left blank in the
bond. When the bid of c. Webb, the
only other bidder, came up for exam
ination it was shown that the bid fol
cutters, which was originally left blank
had been filled in after it had been filed
with the city clerk. The bid as pre-
sented after the blank was filled was at
is cents per lineal foot, or cents below
that of Ramish & Marsh. The board
got around the difficulty by recommend
ing that all the bids be rejected, and in
the meantime will try to find out how
the blank came to be filled in after the
bond was duly filed

Plans for the Viaduct Already Completed and
the Money Ready for the Subsidy-A
Great Public Improvement

Among the matters to come before the
city council at the meeting today is the
franchise for the Traction company for
road out Fourth street across the river
and through Boyle Heights to Evergreen
cemetery. This is one of the most i'm
pcrtant improvements that has been
made for some months past, and will
open up large section of the city that
has heretofore been kept, by reason Of
the inadequate street railway facilities
out of reach. That the interested prop
erty owners are fully alive to the adyan-
tages of this road is shown by the very
liberal manner in which they have come
to the front and subscribed for the new
road. subsidy of 500. 900 has been rails
ed in cash, and this will be turned over
to the Messrs. Hook to help pay for the
construction of the new line. AS it is
now, there is not a through street be-
tween First and Seventh, and the only
car line to Boyle Heights is the First
street road. The property owners have
donated the land for an eightyfoot street
from the river east, and the Santa Fe
railroad has donated right of way
through it's grounds, so that the street
will not cost the city a penny. 1t Is pro-
posed to cross the railroad tracks and the
river by a handsome iron viaduct 1850
feet in length, which is even longer than
the one on First street. The new street
will run through the handsome grounds

residence, joining Fourth street as it Is
now laid out on the east side of Boyle
avenue, and continue on to Evergreen
cemetery.
The new street will pass near the Old
Peoples Home, now being erected by
Mrs. Hollenbeck, and also the Catholic
orphan asylum, besides opening up Hol-
lcnbeck park, one of the prettiest public
parks in the city. Ex, Mayor Workman
Will grade the street at the bluff at his
own expense. The cost of this alone will
be over $4,000 and other property owners
have agreed to make substantial i'm
provements If the street Is opened, and
the street car line built.
Should there be no trouble about the
franchise, the Messrs. Hook say that
they will have the road built and in ope-
ration by the first of October. 1t is their
intention to put in a first-class road
In every respect, fully up to the standard
of their lines now in operation, and
equipped with the same style of cars that
they are now operating on the other lines
Of the Traction company. The plans for
the viaduct are already completed, and
firm has made proposition to build it
and put it in place inside of ninety days.
SO that there will be no delay on that
score.
The new road will be of great benefit to
all the southern and southeastern Sec
tions of Boyle Heights, and the people
are practically unanimous in favor of
the proposed improvement.

Is no law OF Gods anywhere in scrio-

simply to have it obeyed. God never
issued a command or law that had no

all the time making his course plain

menus are the same as the laws under

ions not akin to the laws, of nature
one OF them Is seen in Gods require

we try to adjust our lives to His re-
qulrements We find how Just and rea

those requirements at the beginning ~

arbitrary, and cannot see the reasons
Tor them-to be baptized in Christ. to

thought that the life of Jesus Christ was
