CAMPAIGN COMMENTS.

when money is scarce products

low money is scarce, as any school
boy knows. The persistency with
which some people transpose cause
and effect or supply and demand
that the attempt to deceive is so APP

putting the cart before the horse

Surd, beside there is no argumunt in
either position in favor of thes free
and unlimited coinage of silver at 16
to l or at any other ratio.
*x*
We have heard numerous free sill
yer speeches during the campaign but
no speaker so far has even attempted
to show how unlimited coinage can
benefit the people at large. In fact
there is no argument to be produced
in favor of free silver which is not
equally forcible in favor of free nickel
or free copper and the objections to
the last two will apply to the former.
The mono-metalism scare or howl
for bimetalism, which is the same, is
Supertluous. We now have quadri-
metaliSm- gold, silver, nickel and
bronze and there is talk of adding a
fifth, aluminium. These metals are
each serving the people accepta0ly,
honestly and with convenience to the
users. The matter of convenience in
size and weight of coins in daily use
is important. Each of our money
metals is adapted to the purposes for
which it is coined and may be used
with safety under existing security
by law. Aluminium, besides being
otherwise fitted as a money metal,
has the additional advantage of bulk
with comparatively little weight
which is especially desirable in coins
of small value.
Sticklers for ssI6 to 1" may learn
something by short study of the
history of aluminum: Although one
of the most plentiful of metals, only
a few yearS'ago it was worth several
dollars per pound and now it is worth
scarcely as many cents. 1t has fallen
in value on account of improved
methods of extraction. ETC. Free and
unlimited coinage of aluminium at
any ratio whatever would neither de-
stroy those methods nor restore the
old price. No one is so foolish as to
suppose that free coinage would re-
store the conditions existing prior to
the great crime of discovery, inyen-
tion and improvement and yet that is
just what is proposed for the restora-
ton of silver which has fallen fifty
per cent in value within twenty-five
years from exactly the same causes.
Aluminium has not been demonetized
and neither has the silver dollar.

Wheelmen will take in" the country
tomorrow. Several runs to points OF in

ing that after series of wet Sundays the
bikers will thoroughly enjoy sun bath IN
the rural districts.
Anglers have at last an opportunity to
enjoy real good sport on favorite trout
streams. Latest reports from the country
give very flatterIng results.
The oarsmen are training hard for the
Ell Campo regatta. The lovers of coursing
can make their selections now between
two parks. both of which are within easy
reach of this City.
Sportsmen who delight to smash inani-
mate targets are looking forward with
much interest to the Stockton tourna-

keep up lively racket at the She'll Mound
and San Rafael ranges. Handball, basket
ball, cricket and other sports are well
patroniZed.

THE ANGLERS.

Latest Reports From Trout Streams.
The Carp as an Eye Destroyer.
Anglers whose patience has not been
exhausted by weeks of waiting and hoping
for better days and better fishing, may now
look forward with pleasure to the enjoy
ment of some real good sport.
1t is true that the condition of the
streams has been such that ever since the
first day of the open season for trout fish
ing not single favorable opportunity for
a good whip has presented itself. Constant
transforms, accompanied by cold winds
and late frosts, have kept the trout streams
in wreiched condition, which, of course
signified poor sport for the angler and an
abundance of food for the fishes.
All things considered, it is probably bet
ter that trout-fshing will be late, as the
fingerlings of six weeks ago have grown
rap Idly and are now of good size.

Another well-known marksman, who

e. ]. Darlington of Wilmington, Del, is
one OF the best pistol shots in the United
states, and under the date of May he
wrote to Mr.. Young as follows:

tempt TO introduce the new Columbia target.
L have given ii fair trial, and l must
say 1t is entirely satisfactory. [ shot about $50
shots on it, and made some scores that COM

yards.

same day made l, 4, 4, 4, 3, 5, 5, 3, B. 3-33,
This closely presses upon the remarkable
score OF A. B. Dorrell of the Columbia
Pistol and Rife CLUB last Sunday at She'll
Mound, when he made 80 in ten consecu-
tive shots. All of these scores were made
on the Colum bia target, the popularity of
which is spreading on this coast. The
Mount Eden Club in Alameda County, of
which ID. Hesse is the president. has fully
lndorsed 1t. So has the Chico Rife Club.
Charles Burrell of Arcata on the 10th sent
the following to Mr.. Young:

THE BOXERS.
Pugilists Who Are Training for the
June Tournaments.


June TOurnam entS.
The National Athletic Club will give its
next hstic entertainment in June. The
programme includes four ten-round bouts
between boxers of established reputation.
The men who will meet within the ropes
are now stationed at their respective train
ing stations and going through the regular
form ula of exercise. The evenings enter
tainment promises to be particularly in
teresting, as Sharkey will be up against a
man on this occasion who will certainly
bring out the real fighting qualities of the
sailor.
Some of the wise men who generally
make wrong predictions say that Sharkey
will find in Williams an easy game, but
unless the latter has fallen away, that is
physically, he should be Just the man
who will fight every inch of the ground
with "the coming" champion and make
the sport while it lasts very interesting to
witness.
The pugilists who are matched to box
at the National Club will not appear at
the Palace festival as announced. In fact
the only bout so far assured will be be-
tween Hawkins and Zeigler, and as the
latter Is much larger and heavier than the
clever Californian, it should certainly be
no feather in Zeigler's cap to whip HaW-
kins in few rounds.
1t is the general opinion, however, tn at
Zeigler will not overtax his energies, and
that the spectators will witness the Gus
tomary ''draw." Hawkins is still nursing
a sore hand.
The Acme Athletic Club of Oakland will
give "a a championship boxing tournament

ent Van Court predicts one of the most

a special race between three four-oared
crews organized from among members of
the League of the Cross Cadets. A pro-
fessional exhibition race is also down on
the programme.
There will be six amateur races in all
q senior and junior barge race, senior and
junior outrigger skiff event, and senior and
junior single-scull race.
The entries for the different events are
fast coming in and by tomorrow the list
will be closed. Each race will have three
or four or more entries, and in the Junior
four cared barge event eight crews will
line up-the Ariels, South Ends, Dolphins,
Olympics, Stockton Athletic Association.
St. Mary's College. San Francisco Athletic
Club, and probably the Pioneer Club will
enter crew.
Coughlin are training like "Troians" for
the senior single-scull event.
A special trophy will be given the win
ner of the League OF the Cross Cadets
race. The boys are now in active train ing
from the South End boathouse. The
crews represent the companies of st. Pat
rick's, Mission Dolores and st. Theresa's
parishes.
The San Francisco Athletic Club has
never before participated in boat race,
but will certainly make their rowing Prov
ess known in the approaching regatta.
In the senior four-oared barge race they
will enter the following crew: I. Barry,
bow and captain; ID. Cambell, forward
waist; F. Smith, afterwaist: George Bates,
stroke: George McDermott, cockswain.
This crew was only beaten by two lengths
by the crack South End crew in three
mile race not long ago, and intend to turn
the tables this time.

junior crew in the field. composed en-
tirely of lightweight boxers. Their main
ambition will be to defeat the Olympic

The personnel of the Ariel Clubs junior
crew is: j. Monti. bow and captain; A.

will leave the boathouse at o'clock.

RIFLE AND PISTOL.
The Columbia Target, a Home Prod
uc+, Favorably Received.

uC+, Favorabiy Received.
The voting contest among riflemen as to
which of the three princIpal targets now
in use on the ranges should be accepted
as the standard for American marksmen
is attracting much interest all over the
United States. The targets receiving the
most attention are the Columbia target,
with its inch center and half-inch circles,
the Standard American and the old Ger
man 25-ring target with three-quarter-inch
lines. In the East dozens of clubs have
sent their votes to Shooting and Fishing
in favor of the Columbia target, which was
originated by Fred o. Young of San Fran
cisco. Mr.. Young is well known to rifle
and pistol marksmen all over the world
not only as an expert shot, but as an au-
thority upon such matters. When he in
troduced his target it met with a few objec-
tlons, but principally by men who had
some motive for doing so other than de-
sire to secure perfect target. These OBJ
lections have all been met and explana-
tions of the principles involved given to
those who did not at first see the simplic-
ity of the new target.
All OF the best shots in the East have
given the California product their unquali-
fed approval. as may be judged by extracts
from their letters upon the subject. I'll. M.

CRICKET CHIRPS.
The Game In Australia, England
and at Home.


The revival of the cricket season, COM
menced in California, has become univer-
sal, and the indications for nota BILE year
are everywhere present.
While the flower of their talent is pre-
pairing TO win laurels in the old country,
the Australians are still active on the
home grounds. The annual match be-
tween Victoria and New South Wales took
place last month. The result at the end of
the second day-the latest report to hand
was in favor of Victoria by four wickets
and 70 runs.
The NJ. G. C. (Australian) played ST.
Peters College at Adelaide and were VIC
torious by So runs.
From England comes quite a large
budget of news, chiefly of colt events, the
big matches being yet in preparation. In
the Cambridge University freshmen S
match, some excellent talent was brought
to light. G. l.. Jessop made 103 in splen.
did form, and bowled five wickets for &C
runs.
In the Surrey County trial match of the
first twelve against the next sixteen,
played at the Oval on the I'd inst, the
next sixteen put up 251 runs against first
class bowling.
The Australian team landed.at Tilbury
on the 9th OF April from the Orient liner
Cuzco. As in former years, thew have
made their headquarters the Lavistock
Hotel, Covent Garden. They at once COM
menced to practice at Mitcham Green.
Only one association cup match is sched-
uled for to- morrow, viz. the Alamedas VS..
Pacitics at the Webster-street grounds.
though the California team is to meet the
San Jose men at San Jose.
IT is rumored that the all-round crick
eter, w. n. Griffiths, will shortly return
from England and rejoin his old club, the
Pacific. This would be godsend for that
team. UMPIRE

The members of the South End Boat
Club are working hard to make their re-

brilliant success. They are already under
big expense for advertising the affair, but
As there seems to be no luIl in the interest
mani tested in the event, it is safe t. pre-
dict that their efforts will be crowned with
success.
The oarsmen are agog with interest over
the regatta, and deal of muscle is being
developed by them for the contest. The
majority OF the entrants are already in
good condition, having been In training
for the past month, but some added at
fractions TO the programme have Just been
made and the new men will have to make
the most of their limited time to condi-

Champion John Jones Writes That
He Will Soon Return to America.
Since Jack Riordan won the champion
ship of the coast from Harlow the latter is
said to have fallen away five pounds in
flesh. Harlow was sanguine of defeating
Riordan, and he now is of the opinion
that if Riordan had not used handballs
made expressly for himself and by him
self the game would have resulted
differently.
The aspirant for championship honors
is not satisfied with his defeat and prays
for a return match, which Champion Jack
will probably give him in the near future.
Phil Ryan received letter from John
Jones a few days ago in which the writer
says that business is very dull in Austria
liza, and that it will not be very long when
he (Jones) will be once again among his
American friends.
