brokers' office on the corner, and that
gentleman has exhausted his barrel Of
money and his patience by hiring a
broom dredger.
But Uncle Ike's fertile brain has
seized upon the proposition, and yester-
day, after another reminder from a po-
liceman that the lake was at high tide,
he posted notice announcing that
after this week he will establish a regu-
lar ferry system. If this enterprise does
not pay he will try stocking the pond

Taxes Will be Lower.

Taxes will be lower in this county
this year than they were last, in spite
Of the fact that the State Board of
Equalization raised the assessment roll
fve per cent. The reason is that
whereas last years State tax was 6S.5
cents, this year, through the action Of
the State Board Of Equalization in
raising the assessment Of San Francisco
St4, ,4S4, 900 and that Of Alameda over
I,5OO,OOO thus enabling the tax rate
to be lowered. In addition to this the
amount necessary to be raised is nearly
SZ,OOO,OOO less than that of year ago,
and these two causes enabled them to
hX the State rate this year at ~. 8
cents. Last year our tax was 1924.

STANDING FIRM.

Congressman Towne intimates that
he will stick to the Republican ticket,
and his $4,000 year salary as Con-
gresham, no matter how much the
national Republican convention may
declare for gold against silver. He is
like the fellow who said he was so
hungry che could eat a small niger
baby with the small pox." Five
thousand dollars year beats Old
Crow whiskey as an appetiser. Under
such a stimulant the ordinary man
can digest anything.
But we are glad to see that Lieut..
Gov. Day. has got more manhood
about him. He says In a recent issue
Of the Martin Co. Sentinel:
minnesota Republicans under the
hypnotic control of VIM. r. Merriam
and other Wall street sym pa thizers
have practically endorsed the British
gold standard. This is not Republi-
canism as we have been educated to
understand it, and If the St. Louis ma
tional convention adopts a similar
course our opinion is that Minnesota
will be placed in the list OF doubtful
states"
Good for Frank Day. On that plat.
form he can beat McCleary In the I'd

one of the few cases in the history of

Penny Press is also one of the few free

being no large capitalistic proprietorship
and control, the paper is not tied to cap
italistic measures and principles. The
Penny Press likewise pledges itself to the
cause of municipal reform, and promises
to let the people know the municipal con-
ditions hitherto suppressed by the city
press. There is plainly field-a worthy
and permanent field of great influence
for clean and honest daily, independent
in it's utterances and responsive to the
needs and voice of the people, fearless
and yet governed by wisdom and charity,
in the cities of America. The co-opera-
tive plan may turn out to be the method
of securing such a paper. The expert
ment is certainly commendable, and de-
serves the cordial support of the people.

A TERRIBLE PICTURE.

No words of ours can family de-

We do not allude to the starvation,
the suicides, the crimes, although
there are enough Of all these:-but to

the disappointed ambitions, the en-.
smalling of incomes, the shrinking OF
the people into AFFECT helplessness.
Men are unable to travel; they are
chained to one spot like serfs of old.
They are reduced to a contemplate
study Of nickels and pennies and
dimes. Their clothes are becoming
patched and worn like a European
PEASANTS garments; while the cloth
Is piled unsold on the merchants
shelves, and the tailors are impover-
ished for want of work.
And all for what? To keep up the
prices of gold! The human family
sacrificed for a metal! Millions of
Gods creatures ruined for the bene lit
Of a dozen or so of the DEVILS agents.!

no such thing as gold existed. It
would be better if that block, q feet

devil, against the knaves who would
rob you of the least one of them.

wrath against those who would re-
duce YOU to nothingness,

THEY CAUCUS INA SALOON.

A lady reporter on one of the daily
papers of this city was booked to report
one Of the Republican primaries, just
prior to the recent state convention.
When she reached the primary, what did
she find? A mob gathered in a saloon. She
was compelled to go out and hunt up
gentleman escort, before she felt safe to
remain. Imagine the influences which
governed that meeting. Think of the
source of inspiration What chance has
principle or any consideration of the pub
lie welfare in a beer-ridden saloon
crowd? And yet the city central COM
mittee deliberately selected this saloon
for the precinct caucus place, and there
may have been other caucuses similarly
held,
There was time when the Republic
ans of Minnesota made pretenses of
cleanliness and decency in politics. They
used to favor the strict enforcement If
the laws and stand by the cause of the
home. But under Republican admins
tration in Minneapolis during the past
three years, the $50 saloons have done
an open Sunday business in violation Of
law, and the gambling bells and immoral
dives have prosecuted a safe and -four
ishing business. Only few places run
by colored men have suffered police mo-
lestation. The only manner in which
the liquor issue was raised by the Repub-
lican city campaign committee in 1894
was in the public discussion between
two members of the Republican city COM
mittee as to which of the two was prop
erly entitled to collect and control the
subscription of the Minneapolis Brew
cry. Such a party is consistent when it
holds it's caucuses in saloons.
