SILVER MEETING TONIGHT
A Union Gathering to Be Held at the
Wigwam
Hon. J. L. Murphy, Silver Republican. Will
Preside
An Important Meeting of the Executive
Committee Of the Democratic County
Central Committee Is Held.
Other Political News.

There will be meeting of workingmen
held on Monday evening at the rooms OF
the Democratic county central commit
tee on Spring street, between Second and
Third streets.
The object of the meeting is to perfect
arrangements for grand parade of the
workingmen of the city on Wednesday
evening next in honor of that great
champion of labor, James G. Mcguire.
On Wednesday evening Judge Mcguire
will speak at the wigwam. He is one Of
the greatest orators in the west and q
recognized advocate Of silver coinage
Of unquestioned ability.
With the workingmen Judge Mcguire
has always been very popular He has
always been their friend, both in and out
Of congress.
This being the case 1t was by many
workingmen considered to be the proper
thing to make a special demonstration
upon the occasion of the judges visit
to Los Angeles in his honor.
All workingmen are to participate and
a big showing in anticipated. 1t has
been suggested that the men could form
on New High street, near Temple, and
that they merely marcn Gown CPrlHs
street to Third, up Third to Broadway
and thence to the silver wigwam. A
band will head the procession.
Every workingman in the city should
spread the word to his comrades and
have them on hand at Temple and New
High streets at p. M, next Wednesday
evening, to participate in the parade.
All those desiring to are invited to at
tend the meeting to make preliminary
arrangements, which will be held at the
rooms of the Democratic county central
committee on Monday evening at $780,

enthusiasm which pervades this vast
meeting signifies the intention Of the
people to tndorse the platform and ratl-
fy the nomination Of William ]. Bryan
as the next president of the United
States. (Applause.) The objection that
met by the fact that William Pitt,
Alexander Hamilton and Thomas J6ff-
erson performed their Mfework before
they reached the age of Mr.. Bryan.
The cause we stand for is not section
al. Massachusetts and Georgia join
hands with California in the one great
issue of the rights Of the people against
the money power of the world. The Re-
publican convention. dominated by the
creditor influences of the east formu-
lated the pledge to maintain the exist
ing gold standard. The people accepted
government and money that is truly
honest will be INDICATED at the polls on
next November.
The act of 1873, which demonetized
silver, was passed by congress secretly.
1t was not discussed by the people, and
the fact that 1t was not understood by
the men who voted for 1t has been stated
by Senators Thurman, Allison, Beck and
others.
The demonstration of silver con-
tracted the volume of money. This re-
suited In the enhancer/ent of the dollar.
pIOpcTly ucpTecidteQ anu the pTlCeS OF
all products fell. This resulted in busi-
ness stagnation, paralyzation Of indus
tries and Unemployment of labor. Henry
Clay, John Sherman and John G.. Car
Isle all unite in ascribing these effects
to q contraction Of the currency.
That dollar is honest which is the same
in its purchasing power yesterday, to-
day and tomorrow. A contracted cur
| rency and rising dollar is a direct
gain to the creditor and money owner
and loss to the debtor and producer.
The Republican platform admits the
benefit to be derived from free coinage,
but asks this nation to endure the evils
OF a contracted currency until foreign
nations consent to their removal Eng
land will never consent to that because
England Is creditor nation. The ma
tions Of Europe which control the prop
osition Of international agreement are
controlled by the credit-holding class
and those agencies will never consent
to release from the sway of the rising
dollar until the democratic nations
| force them to that issue.
The income tax law was a response
| to the demands of the necessities Of the
| times. 1t equalized the burdens Of tax
! alton, and should be brought about ul-
timately by an amendment to the con-
stitutiOn. The election of Bryan will
| mean the triumph Of popular rights and
the progress Of American institutions
| toward a higher government and q
broader liberty. Great applause)

BETTER CITY GOVERNMENT.
Meeting of the Central Committee Of
the League-Ward Meetings.

The central committee Of the Better
City Government league met yesterday
afternoon, and acted favorably upon
about 200 applications for membership.
Applications for membership in the
ward clubs are pouring in by the hum
dreds. Committees are doing yeoman
work in the various wards OF the city
and the result is that very strong organ
izations are being formed.
The First Ward club Is arranging for
a mass meeting next Mondey evening
at which good spekers will explain the
plan and objects of the organization.
At the meeting of the Second Ward
club Thursday evening, j. c.. Harvey
was elected permanent president John
L. Slaughter vice president and Ed
ward Strasburg secretary. T. +. kle-
fer, Frank A. Gibson, DR.. William lie
Moyne Wills, Gustave Holman and d.
K. Edwards were chosen to act as an
executive committee. A committee was
appointed to secure hall for reg
ular meeting place, after which the
meeting adjourned, subject to the call
of the chair. -
of the Fifth Ward club will be held this
Saturday evening. Invitations have
been extended to the 1880 voters in the
ward, and it is expected that many will
respond and become members of the
club. The place of meeting, Masonic
hall, corner of Thirtieth and Main
streets, is at the extreme eastern limits
Of the ward, but can be reached by trans
ferring from other car lines. to the
Grand avenue electric cars, which run
within one block of the hall. A very
successful meeting is anticipated.
The Sixth Ward club Is farthest along
of all with the work of organization.
The membership is already so large that
precinct clubs are being formed. The
members Of the Fortieth precinct will
meet next Monday evening to arrange
for general meeting of all the voters
in the precinct at an early date, at
which the plans for better city govern
ment will be elucidated.
Permanent organization was effected
in the Seventh Ward club last evening
at No. $40 East Fifth street.
Members Of the league who reside in
the Eighth ward will meet in room II
United States hotel, at 1880 o'clock this
evening, to formally organize an aux
iliary club for this ward.
The Ninth Ward club was duly or
ganized on Thursday evening with the
election Of Hon. w. H. Workman as
president. and E. H. Woodman secre-
tary. S. c. Hubbell, B. Chandler, L. G..
Loomis and H.K.Gregory were appoint
ed to serve on the executive commit
tee. T. w. Collins, L. v. Glasscock F.
M. hoffman. E. M. Worster and w. G,
Worsham constitute the finance COM
mittee.
The central committee of the league
meets at p. m. today (Saturday) for
the transaction of important business.
1t is probable that the propriety of the
members Of the league taking part in
the primaries and conventions OF their
old parties for the nomination of CITY
officers will be discussed and acted up-
on. The prevailing sentiment seems Ia
be that members Of the league cannot
consistently assist in the Nomination
of candidates by the old parties.

The i" Divine Healer Begins His Public
.2' He' Demonstrations
Greeted by Small Crowds, Owing to I'm
pleasant Weather-Blessed Hand
f'.ni kerchiefs-How Made.

y Schrader, the divine healer" appear
ed yesterday afternoon as per announce
ment at Westlake park about o'clock.
At that hour he took his position on Sew
enth street, opposite the park and his
manager made an Introductory speech
to the crowd Of some four hundred peo-
|. pie assembled. After this had been con-
cluded the sick crowded forward and
Schrader blessed them, also their hand
kerchiefs, laid his hands upon the afflic-
ted parts and raised his eyes to heaven
as though in prayer. There was little
excitement and the crowd seemed dis
posed to take his claims seriously.
AS an adjunct to the laying on of
hands to effect a cure Of any disease,
Schrader blesses the handkerchiefs of
applicants fpr his ministrations and
they are supposed to be used after he has
gone to rub upon the diseased body and
in this manner con elete the cure al
ready begun. Speaking of this act and
the purpose of it, Schrader said: 1.-THE
handkerchiefs that l bless can be used
effectively only for the persons for
whom they are blessed, and are to be ap-
piled to, the afflicted parts. The efficacy
Of the.a handkerchief is not affected by
the washing of the article; on the con-
trary, the blessed handkerchief can be
washed as often as necessary"
The manner of imparting the miracu-
lous Qualities of the handkerchief Is Pc
culiar. Taking the handkerchief in his
hands he first spreads it out and then
rolls it into a ball between his palms.
Then the hands, with the handkerchief
clasped between them, are brought up
to his breast, and in an attitude of
prayer he stands for moment. Spread
ing ft,Out once more 1t Is carefully rolled
in one direction as one would make a
cigarette. When this is completed the
handkerchief presents itself as long
strip about three inches wide. This is
bent In the center, then again in the CEN
ter and again until 1t Is folded into
wad about three inches square. In this
shape it is returned to the owner with
the injunction to apply to the afflicted
parts"
After a stay of several hours at the
park, and laying hands on number of
applicants for relief, Schrader went to
supper, but returned again in the even
ing. Owing to the night being cold and
foggy there were but about a hundred
people curious enough to turn out to
see him. He made but short stay and
departed for his hotel. Today he will
again be on hand and continue his re-
ception to the afflicted populace.

BELIsLE HELD FOR BURGLARY
Must Answer for Two Crimes Before tn
Superior Court.

The preliminary examination Of Joe
Belisle, graduate Of the Whittier re-
form school, was held before Justice
Morrison in the police court yesterday
morning on two charges of burglary, and
resulted in his being held to answer for
trial in the superior court in both counts,
bail being fixed at $4,000. Belisle robbed
the house of Charles SHREDDER on the 10Th
and the residence of J. C. Erickson on
the 1st of the present month. Both
crimes were traced conclusively to him
and q portion of the stolen property re-
covered.
1t was brought out in the examination
that the defendant sold pair Of $50
opera glasses to M. Rosenberg for $1.25, a
s12 revolver to J. w. Seal for 81 and $36
watch to Mrs. Ferner for Sc. The de-
PENDANT. after he was arrested, confess
ed and went with the officers to show
them where he had disposed of the sto-
len property. He will probably plead
guilty in the higher court and take his
sentence as soon as possible.
