WANTS THE NAMES.

Speaking of the Tribune's charge
that the Z. S. Officers set traps to con
Wet people who sell whiskey to In
dams, the Independent says:
If the Tribune will give the names
OF the officers engaged in this despi-
cable business, the Independent will
Join it in holding them up to the con-
tempt Of all right thinking men. A
sworn officer, who will join in a con
spiracy to send an ignorant man or a
tramp, almost perishing with hunger,
to the penitentiary for selling whiskey
to Indians, ought to be driven out of
the community he disgraces by his
presence. He and lot his victim
should be punished
The independent is in favor of en-
forcing the law against all persons
who sell liquor 20 Indians, but it does
not believe in the practice that has
grown up in this State. Of COnstables
Watching tramps when coming into
town then going to their Indian stool
pigeon and giving him money 10 give
the tramps to buy whiskey with. Such
business is carried on in this State by
sworn officers Of the law in order to
get a fee for making arrests.
We hope the Tribune will push the
investigation of this matter and pub
lish the names of the officers engaged
in this dirty business. 1t ought to be
broken up and if we mistake not, the
guilty parties will be handled without
gloves bv the press of the State.

A DIRTY BUSINESS.

A dispatch from Washington to the
Chronicle Wednesday asserted hat
'certaiu criticisms of a hostile nature
which have from time TO time appear
ed in certain San Francisco newspa-
pers to the effect that naval vessels
built on the Pacific Coast have heen
found to possess various defects OF
more or less grave nature are now
bearing fruit in the East" The East
ern contractors are taking advantage
of these criticisms hv claiming that
all contracts for naval vessels should
go TO Eastern shipyards and iron
wOrks.-SactO. Bee.
Tho attitude of the Government and
the Eastern contractors is only the re-
suit of the miserable matchmaking
policy followed by San Francisco pa
pers in public matters. When one Of
the big warships was launched a few
years ago the representatives, Of sew
eral San Francisco papers called on
the contractors and said fatty that
they wanted cash down to give the
trial trip a favorable notice. Their
offer was declined and the country was
plastered with descriptions Of leaky
boilers, bursted pressure guaGes and
defective machinery.
1t was the revenge Of the public
spirited sheets Of San Francisco who
assail everything they can't bleed. As
a result the Coast gets nc more ships
to build.
Irving Scott could probably enlight-
en- the public il he would, on the mar
ner in which the papers attempted tC
bleed his firm.

THE u. s. GRAND JURY.

The Q. S. Grand Jury which ad-
iourned yesterday will be conspicuous
in the annals Of this State as a body
of men who performed their sworn
duties, without fear or favor. 1t is
not a familiar sight to see Grand
Juries that are not in some way infu-
enced by considerations outside Of
the ir duties.
In this instance it was composed Of
men who could neither be bribed or
bullied and they deserve the thanks Of
the community for their honest en-
dea vor to purify the malodorous at
m os phere that has hung about the
TT 8 Of this State.

Jim Love, a theatrical manager OF
San Francisco, who has been several
times under arrest for theft and muz-
zling gate receipts of theaters, adver-
tises to do a general theatrical bust
ness and persons wishing his services

music dealers. How a responsible
firm like Sherman & Clay can allow
q crook Of his stripe to make their
place of business his headquarters, is
beyond all comprehension.
Miller, the big California cattle
man, has been caught giving in a
false return to the assessor regarding
his f1ocks aud herds. and his estimate
has Just been multiplied by s to even

Earthquaks In japan.

YoKoHoMA, Sept. 2.-Much alarm is
felt over report here of a great earth
quake which occurred in the North
east provices in the Gain island OF
Japan on Monday evening. The
town of Rokugo has been entirely de-
stroyed and several other towns Sc
verely damaged. Many persons are
to have been killed by the
earthquake and still larger number
injured, while multitude have suf-
fered severe losses by damage to
property. The provinces visited by
the earthquake are the same as those
devastated by the terrible earthquake
and tidal wave of June Is last when
large number of towns were wiped
out and the estimated loss of life was
80, 900. The Provinces Of Rekuzen
and Rikuchu, along the coast from
the Island of Kinkasan, Northward,
were the principal sufferers then.
The recollection Of the havoc to human
life wrought by that conyulsion caus-
es grave anxiety as to what further
reports may show of the results OF
Mondays earthquake. On the same
day = typhoon caused extensive dam
age IN Southern Japan.

thought he was the proper man for
President of the United States and ne
would continue to think so. He told
one or two humorous stories and was
loudly cheered.
General Buckner was then called for
and made a more serious address. He
said that the convention today had
broken down the partisan walls which
had separated the country and had de.
cided that men in any part of the
country could hear the standard OF
Of Democracy. The candidates OF this
convention would not go as Bryan
does, into an enemy's country, but
would 90 into united country of pa
triotic people. Wherever floats the
flag of the Union there was the home
of Democracy. He expected to do his
duty by his country and, old as he
was, he would shirk no responsibility.

Sell Your Cotton Slowly.

We beg our farmers to read very
particularly the following paragraphs
from Riordan & Co.'S last cotton letter
from New York. In these matters
Riordan & Co. are extremel y reliable:
The course of prices in the immediate
future will depend, not so much upon
speculation here or abroad, as upon
the action of the Southern holders of
cotton. We are firm believers in a
small crop and in much higher prices
when the extent of the yield shall
have been approximately ascertained
But holders in the South who persist
in the policy of forcing their cotton
upon the unwilling market, need not
be surprised if prices should 60 lower.
This, it seems 60 us, is the season Of all
seasons for the Southern farmer to
keep his Gotten off the market as long
| as possible. We think it will make
the difference 81 st least cent pound
whether he sells his cotton in Septem.
Der or in December. Many of the
shrewdest and most conservative trad
ers here are predicting 10 cents a
pound for cotton before Christmas.
The bureau report on the 10th of Sep.
tember is likely to enlighten the
world as to the real value of cotton.

Of the Reform movement depend upon
the election of a man to Office who has
been repudiated by at least 20, 900 Re-
| formers.
I commend the eloquent words Of
the Columbia Register and invite your
attention to the following extract from
its editorial of September 3, 1896.
The Register has m sympathy
with any attempt to dragoon men into
voting for man by cracking the par
ty or factional lash ove~ them. It is
nonsense to say that the Reform move
ment will die If Evans is not elected
United States senator. The man who
says that. in effect asserts that thous-
auds of Reformers are Reformers sim.
ply because they believe the Reform
faction is in the majority and that
only from it can Office be obtained :;
and that these men will desert the Re-
form movement as soon as they sus-
pect that it no longer has the power to
bestow Office. The Register refuses to
so degrade the Reform movement,
which it believes to be the movement
of great body of earnest men who
honestly believe in certain principles
which they desired carried out in the
governmental policy of the Safe. If
the defeat of any man can disrupt the
Reform movement there is nothing in
the movement worth preserving and
it has degenerated from the plane of
principle to that Of seeking.
Earle is a Democrat and Evans is a
Democrat and both stand upon fpracti-
caIly the same platform as regards
those questions upon which the one of
them elected senator will have to pass,
which is also the platform of Ben Till
man, with whom each of them is
pledged to work in harmony. As far
as their platforms and principles are
concerned, the only question left the
voters to decide IS which of them is
most sincere and which is best quail
fed to carry on the work each of them
his promised to do if elected.
''Earle's election cannot be consid-
cred Conservative triumph for he
has been repudiated by many Conserv-
ative voters and papers as a deserter
and has been voted for by many Re-
formers as a convert. If he gets the
Office it will be because he gets the
votes of thousands of man who would
spit in the face OF any man who dared
tell them they were traitors to the Re
form movement"
In conclusion appeal to you as
honest and fair-minded men of both
factions to rise above prejudice and to
do your duty. You wear no mans
collar, and will exercise your own
judgment as free and Independent cit
lzens. I have always submitted to
the will of the majority and now
confidently await your verdict.
JOSEPH Fl. EARLE.
