WHO WAS sEDUCEDa

The Brown scandal in San Fran
cisco fills the papers to a disgusting
degree. AS usual in that city the case
is being tried in the newspapers. In
that forum the latest sensation is the
publication of lot of letters by the
Overman woman in which she gives it
to be understood that her life has been
ruined by DR.. Brown. The clear inn
plication from her letters is that DR..
Brown has used her as his mistress.
This confession is all mixed up with
apostrophies to morality, appeals to
God, discussions of religious principles,
analysis of religious thought and a
lofty assumption of holiness and su-
whose life has been ruined. Running
all through these same letters also is a
play upon the key note money. There
is never a reference to ruin Of the
woman that is not accompanied by q
suggestion that Brown must pay money,
should pay money, that for her sacri-
fee money is rightly due, and in one
case the writer authorizes a friend to
draw upon Brown on the strength of
the Overman claim for any sum the
friend may need, this bank account ap-
parently being one of unlimited credit
Now, right here a word or two for
thought. Would any woman whose
virtue was worth losing bank upon it?

educated woman, having knowledge of
the world, could have her life ruined
by DR.. Brown or any other man? How
different indeed would be the case of

The truest thing about disease is that
most of it is needless. Nine-tenths of it
can be subdued by very simple remedies.
Even that most dreadful nlalady, con-
sumption, can be cured in o8 cases out
of a hundred, if it be treated in its early
stages with DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery.
Consumption is a disease caused by
inlpurity of the blood, and the first thing

the United States could be found The
Government wants gold 1t wants to
borrow it of its own people. 1t offers a
popular loan, and it facilitates the TAX
ing Of these bonds by its own people at
every b-Treasury in the United
States except that of San Francisco, and
it makes this distinction on the plea
that the gold, if obtained in San Fran
cisco, would have to be transported
across the continent at the expense of
the Government. If exchange on New
York is par then the investor in Cali
fornia can, by being subjected to in
convenience, obtain the bonds without
additional cost. If. however, exchange
is at a premium, then the people of the
Pacific Coast cannot buy these bonds
on terms of perfect equality with the
other people Of the United States. And
yet there is more gold to be obtained
in California than in any other part of
the country.
The Hon. George c. Perkins, if he
represents anything, represents the city
of San Francisco; that he permitted the
Secretary of the Interior to place his
constituents at disadvantage in this
way is attributable to one of two things;
either he is so much interested in as
sisting the sugar trust that he had no
time to give to this matter; or, what is
far more likely, he did not understand
what was going on, and was not fully
awake to the significance of the dis
elimination which had been made

DISSEMINATING AGAINST CALL

The presence of gold in the sub-treas-
uries Of the United States. whether in
San Francisco or elsewhere, is available
as a reserve maintaining the Govern
ment issue at par. It requires some
thing over 500. 100000 kept constantly
on hand to constitute a proper reserve
fund, and it is of no consequence what
ever that ten, fifteen or thirty millions
Of that money is in the Treasury of
San Francisco. AS long as it is in the
Sub Treasures, it constitutes a basis
guaranteeing the circulation of a prom
ise to pay in gold. It is for this reason
that the omission of the Sub-Treasury
at San Francisco as one of the places
where gold might be deposited and
bonds issued becomes unjustifiable. At
eight other Treasures in the Uni
ted States the investor may present
himself with his gold and carry away
with him the bonds bearing 4 per cent.

pie Of San Francisco and of California

AcRAArENro,s BRILLIANT MAYOR

For method of paying a debt COM
mend us to the genius of Mayor Hub
bard. The Pacific Railroads owe the
Government $117,OOO,000, but there is
a first mortgage of S62,O00.000 upon
these roads. and the question being
asked our honorable Mayor if he is in
favor of extending the time for paying
the SIT. 100000, he answers:
at look upon the matter this way. If
the debt is refunded, the people of this
coast viii have to pay it. If some other
way is taken to provide for the amount
due the Government, the whole United
States would have to cover it,"
Mr.. Hubbard's objection to refunding
by extending the time for payment is
that the Pacific Coast would have to
pay it, but in some other way the Gov
eminent would have to lose it. This
answer, involved and obscure as it is,
is quite as intelligent as the questions
asked by the Examiner Mayor Hub
bard no doubt has an idea that the peo-
pie of the United States ought to lose
all that has been paid to the railroads
for the benefit of the people Of Cali
fornia, but he says, later on: II am in
favor Of the Government taking the
road rather than the refunding of long
time bonds and to take the assets as a
business man would treat an insolvent
firm"
The presumption Of this distinguished
financier must be that if the Govern
ment Of the United States takes the
road, nobody will have to pay the
debt; that the Government will run it
in such way that it viii claim no in
terest on its investment, and create no
sinking fund for the payment back to
the treasury of the money it has al
ready paid out. In short, neither the
Examiner nor Mayor Hubbard know
very clearly what they are talking
about. When he says that he is in
favor of the Government taking the
road rather than refunding. ETC., he is
talking through his hat. The Govern
ment can take the road only by the
payment of $62,000.000 to discharge
the first mortgage. Is Mayor Hubbard
in favor of the payment of S62, 100000.
in addition to what the Government
has already paid? If the Government
pays S62, ,000,00 in addition to what it
has paid, is the Mayor in favor
Of making rate of transportation
which will reimburse the people of the
United States for all they have in
vested, or is he in favor of having the
road run solely in the interest of the
Pacific Coast? If he is in favor of the
latter, he may just as well retire from
further consideration Of the subject. 1t
is exactly this species of statement
that the Government ought to lose all
that money in the interest Of the people
of the Pacific Coast that will pass the
funding bill The absence of intelli-
gence manifested by the Mayor Of Sac
rsmento In this matter is not singular.
Other Mayors Of other cities have man
ifested the same stolid stupidity as has
distinguished our chief municipal mag
iGtrate.

IMPEACHMENT OF THE INTERIOR
DEPARTMENT.

The Idaho-Montana bill relating to
the classification of mineral land has
been reintrdouced by Congressman
Johnson from this district It's passage
will be a distinct impeachment of the
Secretary of the Interior and the Com
missioner of the General Land Office,
and the general administration of land
affairs by these officers. 1t proposes
to take the determination of all classi-
fication of the lands out of the hands of
the Government, and place them in the
hands of three political commissioners
to be appointed by the President. When
once appointed, these Commissioners
will be entirely Independent of govern
mental authority, ana will, in fact, be
in a position to sell to the railroads, or
to the miners, or to agriculturists the
lands within the limits of the railroad
grants in the State of California.
The bill has no doubt been introduced
at the instigation of certain impracti-
cables, who have sought personal noto-
riety by pretended opposition to the
requirement of mineral lands by rail
roads. This whole story of the DISPOSE
ton to acquire mineral lands by rail-
road companies has been lie and a
promoted by as worthless a set of char
acterless schemers as could be found in
the purlieus of politics or among the
shysters of Police Courts.
The three commissioners to be ap-
pointed under the provisions of the
bill will possess such Jurisdiction of
matters placed in their charge as will
make them practically omnipotent.
Whether their administration of the af-
fairs placed in their hands will be more
satisfactory than the very fair and very
honorable consideration these same
matters have received at the hands of
the Secretary of the Interior remains to
be seen. The proceeding, however, is a
distinct Impeachment of the Secretary
of the Interior and Of Mr. Cleveland's S
administration in the intention of those
who originally conceived the bill
There is no doubt but that Congress
man Johnson has introduced this bill to
satisfy the senseless outcry of the two
or three mining attorneys who by their
conduct have constantly misrepre-
sented the spirit of the State Miners
Association That the bill will pass is
by. no means improbable. The improb-
ability in this instance arises out of the
consideration of questions of the extent
to which under its provisions the min
ers themselves will be satisfied We
take the liberty at the outset of predict
ing that the operation of the bill will
not be more satisfactory to the few
mining attorneys who have instigated
its introduction than the administra-
tion of President Cleveland or the direc-
ton of affairs by the Secretary of the
Interior 1t will not be more satisfac-
tory, If the conduct of the commission
ers is fair. The appointment of a fair
and impartial commission by the Pres
ident and the administration of the
matters committed to that commission
will be quite as unsatisfactory to cer-
tain element as the present administra-
ton of the same affairs by the Secre-
tary of the Interior
