THE sILENT VOTER.

The fate of parties and of their candi-
dates in the approaching election will not
be determined by brawling demagogaes
or willing idlers who stand upon street
corners delivering or applauding curb
stone opinions upon the issues of the day.
1t will be the silent voter in every State
whose vote will make and unmake the
President at the close of this campaign.
Who is the silent voter2 He is the man
who is employed in this or that honest in
dustry. He is the man who has or hopes
to have a home and family and
knows that continued employment at
good living wages is his only means
OF obtaining the one and of supporting
the other. He is the man who realizes
that only out of individual and National
thrift can prosperity come to any person
or people. He is the man who reasons
without illusions about matters of daily
experience within the circle of his horizon
and votes as he thinks his own best inter-
ests and those of his neighbors require.
How will the silent voter cast his ballot
in California? Go and ask the iron-workers
OF San Francisco. Go and inquire of the
prune-growers of the Santa Clara Valley
Go and seek for an answer among the
beet producers of the Paiaro and Salinas
valleys. Go and discuss the subject with
the skilled employees of the sugar factories
and refineries in the various counties of
the State. Go wherever labor and capital
are steadily and harmoniously employed
in those productive industries which are
doing the most to increase the wealth and
prosperity of the people of California and
ask the honest, industrious, thrifty. silent
voter for which candidate his ballot will be
cast in the coming election. In almost
every case the answer will come back

DOVE AND D1vED-F. j., East Oakland, Cal.
HE dived in the water'' is the correct express
sion. Dove is an occasional preterit OF dive.
In the older editions of Longfellow's "Hia-
watha,'' VII, he used the word dove in
place OF '.dived'' in the three lines following.
In the later it is s'dived" as given;
Straight into the river Kwasind
Plunged as if he were an otter,

the river and disappeared.
BANK OF ENGLAND-L. H., San Jose, CAL The
Bank OF England was projected by William
Paterson, and was incorporated July 27, 1894,
At first the charter of the bank was for eleven
years only, but in consequence of the great
service OF the institution to the Government 1t
has been several times renewed. 1t is gov
erned by board of directors consisting OF
twenty-four persons, governor and deputy
governor. The offices of governor and deputy
governor are given in rotation; the deputy
always succeeds the governor, and usually
the oldest director who has not been in office.
becomes deputy governor The older mem
bers of the board-that is, those who have
passed the chair, or in other words,
who have served as governor-form
standing committee of indefinite powers
(no precise description has ever been given of
Jhem) and this committee is called the Com
mittee of the Treasury. Some of the directors
retire annually, but by courtesy it is always
the young ones; those who have served as gov
ernor always remain. In the English sense no
banker has chance of becoming one of the
bank directors. The mass of the directors are
merchants of experience, who have infoTma-
tion as to the present course of trade, and as
which is invaluable TO the bank. Il is usually
about twenty years from mans first election
that he arrives at the chair; accordingly bank
directors when first chosen bv the board are
comparatively young men. The management
OF the entire public debt of Great Britain is In
II e hands OF the bank, for which it receives
compensation, which has from time to time
varied in amount according to circumstances.

The Winters Independent endeavors to balance
its favors equally as between the Republicans
and the Democrats. In an editorial paragraph
in recent issue the paper opined that Bryan
would be elected, because "the American peo-

cancel the effect of that utterance and main
tain its reputation for impartiality the Inde-
pendent proceeds to throw Bryan down and
walk on him in the very next paragraph,
which infers that the American people are op-
posed to the vain pretensions and the mis-
representations indulged in by the elocution-
list from Nebraska: "The country must have a
revenue equal to its expenditures, and none
but boy orators deny it,"
