more cruel than Hessian vengeance,
because the wounds which avarice
strikes sends misery and want to
every household and kills by the
lingering torture of starvation,
while Hessians relieved their vic
tins by sudden death. In view of
the great wrong already accom-
plished, in view of the fact that
one half at least of the property of
seventy millions of people has been
transferred by the conspirators to
less than 2 per cent of that number,
in view of the fact that the enc
mics who are making war upon the
people of the United States have
become emboldened by their sue
cess and declare that they will re-
duce the people of the United
States to serfdom, by depriving
them of the life-blood of civiliza-
ton: in view of the fact that the
progress from prosperity to want
and misery is accelerated every
year by every new instrument ele-
waited to power by the house OF
RothschiId, it is believed that the
American people will rise in their
might and throttle the monster as
they broke the chains of bondage
! which Great Britain had forged for
/ them in 1875. 1t is believed that
the seventy millions of people are
as capable to contend with the
Rothschild of to-day as three mil
lions of people were able to contend
with the Rothschild of one hun
dred years agon. We believe that
IA new Declaration of independence
has been put forth and will be vim
dictated in the year OF our Lore
1896, as the former one was vindi-
Gated more than one hundred years
ago. If that be so the memory Of
Washington will grow brighter as
the blessings which his patriotic
services secured for mankind null
tiply and increase with advancing
time. IF when the anniversary Of
the birthday of Washington shall
again occur in 1897 the people shall
have elected an American citizen tC
represent them in the White House
who does not belong to and is not d
servant of Rothschild, the name Of
Washington will be hailed with all
the JOY and admiration which was
felt by the American people when
he received the sword of CORVALLIS
at Yorktown.-Silyer Knight.

Some Gems from Suggestions on
Government" by S. E. roffett.


Our executive administration,
local, state and national is ineffic-
lent. 1t is in the hands of political
professionals, who are necessarily
administrative amateurs, DevOting
their chief attention to the science
of politics, they are naturally un-
able to go deeply into the science of
government. Brought up on the
idea that offices exist for the pur-
pose of paying salaries on various
scales to politicians of varying de-
gress of influence, it seems natural
to them to appoint man post
master at Oshkosh under one adj
ministration, send him as consul to
Bordeaux on the next accession of
his party to power and recognize
his service on a future occasion by
making him governor of Arizona.
At its best an administrative sys-
TEN managed on such principles is
incapable; at its worst it is both
incapable and corrupt.
The individual voter has almost
entirely lost control over legislation
and administration In local affairs
the boss is supreme; in national
matters parties profess to act in
accordance with the popular will,
but really move in the line of least
resistance, as determined by the
comparative strength of the various
'pulls'' exerted at the seat of gov
eminent. Even when honestly
DESTROYS of doing what the public
wishes done, they have no means
under our present arrangements of
knowing definitely what it is.
There is no lesson whatever that
an expert political weather prophet
can not extract from election re-
turns. If we are to allow the pop
ular will any influence at all, We
must have some means of making
it unmistakable.
The American citizen is fond of
calling himself a sovereign. AS a
rule, however, his only act of SOW
ereignty is that of deciding which
of two bosses shall rule over him.
When the two bosses are privately
in partnership, as they often are,
the principle Of Independent self
government, as we practice it, is
carried to its logical limit.
The first requisite to thorough
reform in American politics is the
restoration of close contract between
the individual citizen and the
agents whom he selects to conduct
his public affairs,
The first principle of business is
that the proprietor shall have, not
merely the right of reviewing the
actions of his employees at fixed
intervals, but absolute control of
them all the time. This should
also be recognized as the first prin-
ciple of sensible politics.

VISITORS CROWD THE TOWN
Not Since the Native Sons Conven.
tion Has 1t Held So Many
Strangers.

SAN LUIS OBISPO. CAL, Oct. 49,
Senator Perkins and Colonel Jackson ar
rived this morning from Lompoc. where
they spoke last evening. They were met
at the depot by mum ber of Republicans,
who escorted them to hotel, where they
were visited during the day by many rep
resentatlve citizens.
A large number of people arrived on an
excursion train at o'clock this afternoon
from the northern part of the county,
while larger delegation arrived from the
southern towns of Arroyo Grande, Nipomo
and Santa Maria at 1880 and was met by
the Mckinley and Hobart Uniformed
Guards and escorted to the Republican
headquarters. There a parade was
formed and marched to the pavilion, amid
constant display of fireworks. The line
of torches stretched out for blocks. The
procession was made up of Republican
clubs from all over the county, accompa
MED by thr rec bands.
The pavilion was crowded to the doors
and many we're turned away. Senator
Perkins was in good voice and the telling
points of his speech were loudly cheered.
The meeting was enlivened by music by
the band, the Edna quintet of young
ladies and male quartet. Colonel Jack
sons remarks were we'll received.
AS many strangers attended the rally as
were here during Native Son week.

LIMPING OVER The OCEAN
Slow Time Made by the Grip.
pied Paris in the Trip to
Southampton.
It is Believed That the Big Steamship
Has Safely Weathered the
Recent Gales.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct. 13-The steam
ship Paris, which is linn ping toward South
hampton under her port screw, the other
having been fractured, was spoken by the
Red Star liner Kensington from Ant
werp for this port, which arrived at mid
night Saturday night. When the Paris
was abeam the Kensington she signaled,
1--WE are the Paris. American line" The
Kensington passed the Paris in latitude
A deg. 38 min. and longitude 81 deg. 18
min. She was then just eighty-four hours
out of port and had proceeded about 900
miles in that time. Her position was due
south of Cape Race and st. John, n. F.,
and due east of Halifax and Sable Island.
The loss of half of the propelIing power
of the vessel should reduce her speed to
about fifteen knots per hour, but a compu-
tation based upon the distance travelled
shows she has made only little over nine
knots an hour. The Paris has undoubt-
edly met and weathered the gale that has
been devastating our coast and that
PROBABLY accounts for the poor time she
mas made. The vessel had yet to go 21O0
miles. At the rate of nine miles per hour
it would take her until next Tuesday to
steam from where she was sighted by the
Kensington to Southampton. Steamship
men, however, believe the Paris will in
crease her speed several knots if the
weather moderates, and will get into
Southampton by Sunday.

doing so it has been in accord with the senti-

PLACED BY HIM IN PAWN.
The Friend Who Rescued the Jewels
From Uncle's Place Asked to
GIVE Them Up.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Oct. 13.-A suit grow
Comstock, society young man of San
Francisco, couple of years ago, began in
Judge norigan's court this morning. The
action is brought by Caroline Cotton
Martin of San francisco against Charles
A. Armstrong of this city to recover pos
session OF $500 worth of diamond jewelry.
Comstock, who had gained Mrs. Mar
tins confidence, represented to her that
her lawyers had Instructed him to secure
some $4,000 worth of diamonds she had sc
that they might be deposited in bank as
collateral security to obtain money with
which to pay street assessment. Mrs.
Martin turned her Jewels over to Com
stock and the latter started out to enjoy
life.
Com stock, who has many rich relatives
in the East (among them General Com
stock of New York;, made many visits te
this city. He stopped at the Vendome
and moved III polite society. He had all
kinds of diamonds and money to burn
when he came here, but the money was
soon consumed and he borrowed promis-
cuously from his friends. 1t was at this
time that he got loan of $3.50 from Arm
strong and gave as security ticket on 8
pawnbroker in San Francisco for $2500
worth of pledged diamonds.
Armstrong took up the iewelry by pay
ing $11OO more to the young man, and the
latter then went to New York. 1t then
developed that Comstock had secured the
jewelry from Mrs. Martin npon false pre-
lenses. Mrs. Martin some time ago re-
covered IN San Francisco the balance OF
the jewels obtained from her by Comstock.

FIRES THREATEN

Property.
Pasadena's Mayor Heads a Force
of Volunteers to Fight the
Conflagration.
GREAT DANGER TO PROPERTY
Belief That Incendiaries Are at Work
on the Sierra Madre
Slopes.

PASADENA, CAL, Oct. 13.-Great ex-
citement prevailed here to-day over the
fresh impetus given the Sierra Madre
fires by fierce. wind which sprung up
about midnight. Twelve men had nearly
controlled the fire which started at the
head of Saucer Canyon last night bv back
firing and trenching. but the blaze was
swept into the thick brush of Millard
Canyon and Negro CANYON, rolling vol
umes of smoke into the valley. For some
hours this morning the men were in great
danger. One of the party was cut off from
the others by the flames and made his
way to Pasadena with his hands and arms
badly burned.
Pasadena is enveloped in smoke and
falling ashes are scattered everywhere.
The roar from the fire was plainly heard
during the night at ]. w. Hughes ranch
place, the Highlands, some six miles
away. and great alarm is felt, as the wind
is rising.
Calvin w. Brown, receiver of the Mount
Lowe Railway, sent up a crew of twenty
men and the Lake Vineyard Land and
Water Company sent fifteen to fight the
fire. Mayor Hartwell lett Pasadena at 5
A. NJ. with party of volunteers, and the
latest reports from the scene indicate that
good work is being done, but more help is
wanted.
This fire is not apparently consequent
upon the fires on Browns Mountains,
thought to be wholly extinguished on
Saturday, and rumors are credited that the
fires are of incendiary origin, started for
the purpose of creating work by men sent
to put out other fires. Great Indignation
is felt over the situation and should re-
ports be verified summary justice will be
meted out.
The flames can be plainly seen from all
points in Pasadena. The fire in Millards
CANYON is less than half mile distant
from the Mount Lowe railway track to
Alpine tavern. The danger to property is
greater than at any time heretofore. One
hundred men are fighting the fire.
