THE TRIP OF THE HOPE.
Pcary Party Does Not Bring the
Meteor With Ii.

NORTH SYDNEY. c. b.. September 26.
The steamship Hope. with Lieutenant
Peary and party on board, arrived here
to-day about noon, and tied up at Har-
ringron's wharf. The whole party had
their traps ready expecting they would
be able TO leave for the United States
by to-day's train, but the timetable or
the trains had been changed since the
party left for the north, and they were
compelled 10 remain here until Monday.
The correspondent OF the Southern Asso-
ciated Press did not find any of the
party very communicative as to why they
did not bring the much-talked-of meteor
with them. One explanation OF the
failure is that the gear on the Hope was
not powerful enough to raise the great
mass. The trip was singulafly free from
accidents. and slight seasickness at
FIRST was the only illness from which any
q the party suffered.

virulent which have been made upon
them. Since I presented some comments
on this subject in a former article, the
indianapolis convention have promulged
their platform, in which Is the following
declaration: THE Supreme Court of the
United States was wisely established by
the trainers of our Constitution as one
of the three coordinate branches Of the
government. Its Independence and au-
thority TO interpret the law Of the land
without fear or favor must be MAIN
tanned We condemn all efforts to de-
grade that tribunal or impai the conf
dence and respect which IL has deservedty
held"
But for its unfounded innuendoes. this
would be unobjectionable, and there Is
not one word OF II which Mr.. Bryan and
his supporters cannot cordially endorse.
The Chicago platform admits the "su-
thority' OF that court to decide as 1t did
even the income-tax case; but wishes
and waits for reversal OF that decision,
which was Itself a reversal Of the de-
cisions OF its predecessors for near 100
wears. Indeed, In the incoms-tax case
the court reversed itself In short order;
for IL had decided by an equally d.
yided court that said law was constitu-
tional; but, on the rehearing, one or the
Judges whipped around" and the oppo-
site opinion was announced. Thus that
case. which has caused deficit or over

OF the General Government. was virtually
ruled by one vacillating judge! IL these

THE BOYCOTT STILL ON
Arrest Of a Chinaman Who Stole . Package
of Heat

The boycott instituted some time
since in this city by the Sam Iup faction
against their rivals, the See Yups, still
RACES in Chinatown, and yesterday saw
the first arrest made by the police in
connection with the matter. 1t has been
known that when the member of one Of
the factions was caught in the act of
patronizing a boycotted store, the look
outs posted for the purpose Immediately
either took the goods away from him or
else reported the matter to the heads Of
their company, who tried the offender
before g. kangaroo court, confiscated the
goods and levied fine on the offender.
The police have been on the lookout for
any attempt to intimidate prospective
purcha serS or to take away goods that
had been bought, but up to yesterday
had not succeeded in catching any one
in the act
A little after o'clock Sunday after
noon a Chinese entered the butcher shop
at the northeast corner of Alameda and
Marchessault streets and purchased
some pork. AS he came out of the store
he was approached by another Celestial
named All Han, who, after some conver.
sation, snatched away the package of
meat and made off with it. The owner of
the package followed him, raising an
outcry which attracted the attention of
the officers, who caught All Han il
Ferguson alley with the meat in his
possession. He was sent to the police
station in the patrol wagon, and charge
of petty larceny placed against him.
Bail of $50 being put up, he was re-
leased, to appear in court this afternoon

POpuIists Dissatisfied With the
Congressional Nominee
LOS ANGELES MAN WANTED
How Col. Otis Lined Up Congressman
McLachIan for God
Stormy Interview Said to Have Been Held
Which !eIted Jamss--colored H.n Kick
ing Over MeKinley's Endorsement

The nomination of Charles A. Barlow
for congress by the Populist convention
of this district does not give full salts
faction to the members of that party in
this city.
Quite a number of them were seen
yesterday by a representative of The
Herald. and while they had no unkind
word to say of the nominee. they all
expressed their regret that the conven-
ton had not seen fit to nominate Los
Angeles county man.
But few of them knew Mr.. Barlow
but those who were acquainted with
him spoke of him in the highest terms as
a man of ability, the equal of Mr.. Nc
Lachlan as an orator and as states
man.
They asserted that Mr.. Barlow had
made an excellent record in the assem-
bly, during the term he served, and that
he had fully demonstrated that he was
a man of affairs.
But even under these circumstances
the local Populists We're hoping that Il
Los Angeles man would be chosen, who
was we'll known to the voters of this
county and whose reputation was al
ready established. The votes to elect
the next congressman. the Populists
truthfully state, will have to be obtained
in this county. This being the case. it
would have been good policy to have
named some Los Angeles man who
would have been a vote getter down
this way.
OF the ~ votes in the Populist con-
vention, Los Angeles county had 10. 1t
would have required only more votes
to name the man. But the Los Angeles
delegation was all split up. Nearly ev-
cry member of it was candidate on
his own hook, and the result was that
the nomination went to the northern end
of the district.
However, the Populists of this city are
still, hopeful of effecting some kind of
an arrangement whereby the silver for
ces in the district can be united on
some congressional nominee. Mr.. Nc
Lachlan's declaration for the gold stand
ard has opened their eyes to the fact
that he is good man to keep at home.
and they are desirous of doing what
they can to assist in the good work.

PROSPERITY IN FREE SILVER
Views Of a Prominent Chicago Retail
Merchant
One Of the nembers Of the largest Retail
Firm In the World Is Ont
for Bryan

Frank II. Cooper of the big firm of
Siegel, Cooper & Co. of Chicago and
New York, the biggest retail firm in the
world, has just returned from Europe,
says a Chicago special to the San Fran
cisco Examiner of Saturday. He is alive
to the issues of the day and has kept we'll
posted while away.
We can make everything over here
that is made abroad" said Mr. Cooper
but with Mckinley as president our
currency may become even more con-
tracted than it is today, as single gold
standard, if adopted, would work ruin
TO this country and make times harder
than they are.
Il can't see anything but good to re-
suit from the free coinage of silver.
True. twill benefit the mine owners, but
it will also benefit the miners and benefit
the west. 1t will give the farmer mon
ey: it will make better prices for farm
products; it will make the farmer a buy
er in our markets. Times can be no
worse than they are t present. Our cur
rency is not expansive enough for the
demands of the people. France has $40
per capita of money in circulation, and
its people are prosperous and happy.
We have but 800 per capita. We need
more money, and free silver coinage
will put an end to the business stagna-
ton. Our factories are closed and our
artisans and mechanics are out of work.
More money Will make higher prices, a
better demand for goods and revival
of prosperity Goods and produce are
too cheap because people have no money
to buy them. The depreciation in prices
on some lines of goods has been more
than 80 per cent in the past six months.
Can merchants and manufacturers
stand this?
with free silver the price OF wheat
and corn would enhance in value at
once. Dollar wheat for the farmer
makes him look at his clothes. When
they are frayed he buys new. He re-
furnishes his house il it is needed, and so
helps to start the furniture factories go
ing again 1t is so in all lines. The more
money the greater demand for goods.
"A single gold standard would bring
prices still lower and more failures and
more disasters for Nhe people. We are
partially on bimetallic basis now, and
| that in a measure is our salvation. Con-
tract our currency to SIS or S12 per cap
ita and the result would be such as no
one could figure.
Talking of free silver, our mints
could not turn out over $50 900 per
year-less than 81 TO every inhabitant
Would that flood the country? 1t would
restore prices, confidence and resusci-
tate business That, l think, is about
what free silver would do for US. We
| want to take care of ourselves first
European countries are able to take care

HOW 1T WAS DONE
Col. Harrison Gray Otis Lined Congressman
McLschlan Up for the Gold Standard

Now that Mr.. McLachlan, the Repub-
lican nominee for congress, has taken
his position for the gold standard and
reversed himself there are numerous
inquiries being made as to how the gen.
tleman came to switch.
A story is being told to the effect that
the Honorable James received numer-
Gus letters from bankers associations,
and also from Mr. Hanna, directing him
to line up. He was told that he could
not ask voters to favor him with their
suffrage because he was for silver coin
age and then ask them in the same
breath to vote for Mckinley, who stood
for the gold standard.
For a time James was between the
devil and the deep blue sea, but later he
met the first named party. The influ-
ence that Is said TO have decided the
young man in his course was an inter-
view he had with Col. Harrison Gray
Otis in the sanctum sanctorum of the
Daily Times a short time ago. The col
onel is said to have given him line of
hot shot argument and also to distinctly
understand that unless he came out Or
the gold standard he (Otis) would see to
it that a gold standard candidate was
put in the field against him and further
more he told Mr.. McLachlan that he
(Otis) would take the veil from his (Mc-
Lachlans) record, disclosing certain
and sundry weak points to the public
gaze.
For time the congressman held out
but under the awful blaze of the col
onefs anger he finally melted. The col
onefs lash was too singing and he
welded 1t with his characteristic grace
and energy. 1t is asserted that he was
specially deputized by Mr.. Hanna to
comb James down and right we'll did he
perform his task as was evidenced last
Friday evening when McLachlan passed
under the yoke.
1t is said that recently some Republi-
cans, who are inveterate seekers of the
flesh pots and the offices. have been cur
rying favor with the colonel. In the
event of McKinley's success he will be
strictly in It," so some think, and the

THE MARCH OF PROGRESS
Jaeoby Bros. Enlarge Their Stores-Their
Shoe Palace

Today Jacoby Bros. open their shoe
palace with six thousand square feet of
shoe selling space, to the public. The
store is the one formerly occupied by H.
Jevne. A large arch has been cut
through the brick wall between the two
stores and entrance can be made from
the main store or direct from the street.
Workmen have been laboring day and
night since the store was vacated to
have it in readiness at the earliest pos
sible moment and this morning the
doors are thrown open to the shoe buy
ing public of Southern California. A
line of shoes will be carried that is un
equaled on the Pacific coast for correct
ness of style and wearing qualities.
The other departments of the store
will be re-arranged and enlarged so as
to give their patrons the greatest COM
fort and diversity of styles Of clothing
and other wearing apparel possible
The Main street store has been closed
and all stock not sold removed to the
new shoe palace-for palace 1t will be in
every sense of the word. When II is
said that no expense whatever has been
spared in fitting up these quarters for
the shoe department. the public and
patrons of Jacoby Bros. can verify this
assertion by stepping within the portals
and seeing for themselves.
The shoe department will be under the
immediate and sole control of Mr.. Nor
ris Jacoby, a shoe man with more than
a quarter of a century's experience in
the business. and his word is given that
no modern appliances or appurtenances
will be spared for the comfort and pleas
ure of his patrons.
The second floor will be used entirely
and solely for boys and childrens' wear
ing apparel and it will occupy an area of
square feet that will make 1t the largest
and most commodious store of the kind
on the coast.
The main store deserves some COM
ment inasmuch as 24O0 square feet has
been added to the selling space. This
addition will make this department
beyond compare and the largest, not
only in Los Angeles but on the Pacific
coast 1t will be magnificent in its pro-
portions and commodious in every de-
tail.
A word in regard to a few of the en-
ployes will not be out of place. Capt A.
Mr. Green Is superintendent of the en-
tire floor and directly in charge of all
employees. Mr.. L. j. Hartman Is ad-
vertising manager and it is from the
recesses of his fertile brain t1at the pay
talk emanates. Besides the duties of
advertising manager. Mr.. Hartman Is
general superintendent of all the de-
partments.
Mr. G.. S. Blake Is electrician and It
is to his ingenious mind that the care
and dressing of the mammoth show win
dows are entrusted. That the trust is not
misplaced the public at large can truth
fully testify.
Jacoby Bros, with their usual energy
and desire for improvement will con-
tinue at all times to add and improve
their stores and stocks in every way pos
Sible.
