An official report has been made to
the Spanish Minister to the United
States, by an attorney employed for the
purpose, in which it is held that
the Government of Spain has just
grounds for claiming damages from the
United States for the acts of filibusters
alleged to have gone out of United
States ports to Cuba, carrying supplies
and giving aid and succor to rebels in
the island opposing the Spanish arms.
1t is claimed that the basis for such
claims rests on precisely the same con-
ditions which obtained when we made
demand upon England for damages
because of the depredations of Confed-
crate cruisers built and equipped in
English ports which claims and condl-
tions led up to the Geneva Conference
and awards. No fears need be enter
tained that if Spain prefers claims on
that basis she will attempt to enforce
must be upon the ground that state
of war obtains in Cuba, and this the
Spanish have all along denied, refus-
ing to recognize the belligerency of the
Cubans and treating them only as riot
ers in arms The United States can
probably show that all due and reason
able precautions have been all along
taken to prevent violation of the neu-
trality laws, and we are not required to
exercise more than ordinary diligence
in pursuing, capturing and Furnishing
f1libusters. Spain is possibly preparing
to bluff US, but it will never be more
than a bluff.

The Republican party of this county
Assembly, who If not all born in this
county, have been residents of 1t from
early boyhood and each is a native Of
the State, as two of them were born
here and the third came here from San
Francisco when a mere lad. All three Of
them went through the primary and
upper grade common schools of the
city or the county. Each of them has
had all the training he has received
within the confines of this county. Every
stroke they have made towards man
hood has been delivered In Sacramento
County. ALI their interests lie here, and
every pulsation OF their hearts is in
sympathy with the county and every
commendable interest In It.
While they have not In experience and
worldly wisdom been limited wholly to
knowledge Of Sacramento County, here
has been the greater field of their activ-
ity, the whole area of their ambition
to this time, and this has been the seat
of their successes.
Each Of them is a man of good moral
character, upright and OF unchallenged
integrity. Each of them is home lover,
and ii Is said of each Of them that he
is the ardent lover OF the mother who
bore him. as only young manhood can
love motherhood, and their mothers
brought them up to honor and respect
women. One of these young men was
raised in the agricultural section. stud

place at the bar of Sacramento County,

1t does not matter much, to be sure,
but as a literary curiosity it is worth
mentioning that Mr.. Bryan's crown of
thorns is but original with him. From
the Congressional Record" of January
26, 1894, is set out that when Mr.. Bryan
was in the House of Representatives,
Mr.. Mccall of Massachusetts, a Repub-
lican, delivered a speech In which he
said: do you regard your bill with
reference to labor? Ready as you have
ever been to betray it with kiss, you
scourge it to the very quick and press
a crown Of thorns upon It's brow"
The record shows that Mr.. Bryan was
present. He did not forget the figura-
tive lines, and December %, 1894. ad-
dressing the House, he said, II will not
aid them to press down upon the bleed
ing brow of labor the crown of thorns." I"
Mr.. McCalPs formulation Of the figure,
1t must be confessed, is the more grace
full and avoids alliterative suggestion,
besides not using both press" and
down." which is scarcely excusable
even for emphasis. Mr.. Bryan evidently
fell in love of the rhetorical flourish and
treasured the figure in his memory. In
deed, it is possible that he may not have
been conscious, after so long a time,
of the fact that Mccall was the parent
of the simile and fancy. However that
may be, when Mr.. Bryan rolled 1t off in
the Chicago convention it was not a
spontaneous suggestion for figure of
speech, but under the evidences cited,
will bear the suspicion Of having been
| dramatically studied for effect.

out of bed If his breakfast doesn't taste
good if he feels utterly incapable of work,
It is pretty sure sign that his digestion Is
out Of oTder-that his principal trouble is
constipation If he lets this condition run
on, there is no telling where it will stop.
Nine tenths of all human sickness comes
from constipation. The first thing that
every doctor asks when he Is called to see
patient is whether the bowels are In good
order. It is nonsense to call doctor for
such simple thing. 1t is nonsense to let
such simple thing grow into such serious
thing, as it always does If neglected. DR..
pierces Pleasant Pellets cure constipation.
They not only afford immediate and pleas
ant relief from all the distressing symp-
toms, but they cure permanently and posi-
lively. There are To- 600 medicines that can
be taken, to give temporary relief. The
pheasant Pellets" are the only things that
really cure
There are plenty Of druggists who will
try to sell you something else. You know
just as we'll as we do that an honest
druggist wouldn't do such a thing -
that an honest druggist would give you
what you ask for. You know that when a
druggist insists on giving you something
else, there must be reason for 1t. We
know what that reason is-he makes big
ger profit on the other thing. Any drug
gist in America will supply tho Pellets

1t Is one Of the humors Of the cam
paign that the Merchant Marine Asso-
citation should be sending out mass Of
strong and convincing literature, ap-
pealing to the people to vote in favor of
restoring the old law that gives pref
erence to foreign commerce carried on
American bottoms by discriminating
duties against the commerce carried on
foreign ship bottoms. The humor Of the
thing resides in the fact that that pol
icy of protection is voiced in one Of the
planks Of the National Republican
party, and that Arthur Sewall, Demo-
cratic nominee for the vice-Presidency,
is President Of the American Marine
Association. and his name appears as
such at the head Of the letter sheets
transmitting the protection literature.
Mr.. Sewall's own party. refused and
neglected to adopt the protective policy
referred to; in fact. it has declared pro-
lection to be a fraud and a crime, and
has denounced it in the party platforms
with all bitterness and emphasis. Mr..
Sewau really occupies the position of
the man who attempted to ride two
horses at the same time which were go
ing In opposite directions.
Many Of the more radical of the ad-
vocates Of free and unlimited silver
coinage are coming to think with the
more conservative friends Of silver who
wish the volume enlarged, and the par
ity between gold and silver maintained
without wrenching the business of the
country, that the Record Unions"
proposition that a date in the future be
fixed for entering upon free silver coin
age, as a means of determining whether
such coinage would have the Ill or the
good effects charged by the contestants
| in the present debate. The like policy
was adopted with regard to the resump-
ton of specie payments and 1t worked
without a flaw or the slightest friction.
The Santa Rosa Republican" and the
bakersfield Californian" are both dis
posed to think the Record Unions
proposition a safe middle ground upon
which there may be agreement, and by
occupying which quietude for the busi-
ness and industrial world of the United
/ States may be secured; indeed, the
Californian" fatty indorses the idea,
and argues forcibly and at length in
| support of it.

THE PROPER PLACE.


Jackson Daily Republican: Time will
show the wisdom of returning Hon
Grove L. Johnson to Congress. In him
the Second Congressional District has
timber for a much more important
service than he can give in the lower
house of Congress. The United States
Senate is the proper rlace for Grove l.
Johnson, and If he lives, there is just
where he will go. Mark it.
WHAT 1T WILL DO.
Ventura Independent: In the first
place, the free coinage Of silver would
call again into demand laborers that
are crowding other fields of labor. Op-
portunities once open and now closed
would be open again. Business that
owing to the scarcity of money. have
stagnated would revive and a demand
would be created for help In their con-
duct Men financially crippled would
get on their feet, and would again be-
come promoters of great enterprises
The human machines now using chear
fuel (food), and but little of it, would
once set to work, demand more food
and of a better quality. The demand
would make better prices.
DEMOCRACY ON REPUBLICAN
PLANKS.
Tulare Times: The Democratic Ma
tionaI Convention and the Democratic
candidate for President stand squarely
upon the joint resolution passed by g
Republican Legislature of California
and for so doing are denounced as an
archists by Republican newspapers and
Republican orators. For asserting thai
the United States should remonetize
silver and give 1t the position 1t held
as money metal prior to 1878. the Re
publicans call Democrats repudiators
of debts. Yet the last Republican Leg
| islature and the last Republican State
Convention declared for the free coin
age of silver. The Republican voters
who do not make their minds up at the
dictation Of Boss Hanna should remem-
her that by voting for Bryan they are
standing squarely on their State plat
form, and are upholding the honest and
unbiased stand taken by their repre-
sentatives in the Legislature OF 1895.

one large Enclosure, where the prize win

canine parades are always interesting.
In the first division are the 81. Ber

hounds, cOllies, and those active pin
heads. the greyhounds and deerhounds.
The next parade is lead by the bull dogs
and bull terriers. the heavy artillery be-
ing followed by the fox terriers and
other lighs skirmishers. The pointers,
settlers, field spaniels, and poodles form
the third brigade.
A genuine novelty before which the
tail-lacking schipperkes and English
sheep hounds paled into insigniticance,
was discovered during the judging of
the miscellaneous class. Judge Raper
noticed that the eyes of the handsome
spotted Dalm attain, Perry, did not match
in color. One was a deep brown, the
other of blue shade, which is not I'M
usual in dogs. The fixed stare of the
blue, however, contrasted strangely with
the mischievous cock in tho brown optic,
which led 10 the discovery that the dog
had been treated by an oculist.

LEAvENwoRrH, Feb. 25.-The town is

arrive on every western train.
Many of the business houses are dec
grated with the national flag and en-
blems of the order, while the public
buildings float the stars and stripes from
the masthead. Owing to the large at
tendance it was decided to call the grand
lod ge together this morning at O'clock
at Chickering hall, when the roll of del
egates was read.
The hotel Iobbies were swarming with
the friends of the various candidates for

indications point that the choice for the
first office, grand master, lays with W.
NJ. Wallace of Kingman, the present in
cumbent, and II. L. Crider of Fort

For the Office of grand medical direc-
tor DR.. ]. r Griffin of Ellis and DR.,
Priest of Concordia are said to have the
call.
For grand foreman William Cross of
Kansas City, Kan, is booked. For grand
overseer William Morgan of Lansing will
be the probable winner. For grand re-
corder E. M. Forde will undoubtedly be
re- elected. T. A. Beck of Topeka will be
re- elected for grand treasurer. For rep
resentatives to the supreme lodge Wallace
of Kingman, Wheeler and Murphy will
be chosen.
The contest for the next meeting place

PEARL BRYAN MURDER.


Rev. I'D. M..WOOd Declares That His
Som Was "a Tool of Jackson.
CINCINNATI. Feb. 25.-The case of
VIM. Wood, charged with abetting an at
tempt to commit an abortion, was called
this morning in the police court. The
prisoner appeared attended by his attor-
neys, Davis and Blackburn of this city,
and Gen. Matsou of Indiana. His father,
Rev. d. III. Wood, and Rev. Dr. Rust
were also present
There was no disposition on the part of
the state to hurry trial, SO that almost
by consent the case was postponed until
April IS, and the bail was reduced from
$1,000 to $4,000
The Rev d. NJ Wood makes a long
statement in the Commercial Gazette in
the way of palliating the share of his
son in the crime, if not excusing it.
Speaking of those dreadful letters sent
by Wood TO Jackson, he said:
81 have no apology for the letters
They were as great revelation TO me
when I read them in Mayor Caldwell's
Office as they were. TO any one else. l
did not consider him capable of using
such language. They struck me as be-
ing profane and coarse, rather than as
vulgar and indecent. They are clear
ly the result of Jackson's unfortunate in :
fiuence over my boy.
He says: sit was only after three or
four weeks of urging on PEARLS part
that Will consented to take Scott Jack
son out to Pearls home. Many young
men of the town have come to me per-
sonally and assured me that they knew
of Pearl Bryan and of my son aud that
there never was any improper intimacy
between them
He admits that Will showed the letter
prescribing a drug for Pearl and that he
showed it to DIR. Gillespie. jackson,
when he was at Greencastle during the
holidays was much displeased to learn
that Pearl Bryan had the letter.
He relates at length how VIII became
acquainted with Scott Jackson in 1854,
and how he kept up that intimacy later
when Jackson was working in DR.. Gill
lespie's office. He now knows how Jack
son tried 10 corrupt Wills mind; how he
described escapadee with girls in his
own life, not with loose women, but with
good girls he had led from the path of
virtue. jackson made Will believe that
in the case of Pearl Bryan the operation
to be performed in Cincinnati was com
mon occurrence; was very simple and
safe and would detain her only four or
tive days.

THE STARTING MACHINE.
A Description of the Device Ussd at InSle
side in Racing.

A Description of the Device Used at InSle-
side in Racing.
SAN Francisco, Cal, Feb. 25.-At the
Ingleside track the Australian starting
machine was recently tried and proved a
success.
The machine consists of two bands of
strong webbing, each about four inches
in width, made fast at both ends to
frame, which slides upward and away
from the horses at an angle of forty five
degrees. The lower band is about four
feet above the ground, the upper perhaps
a foot higher The frame to which the
webbing is attached runs on a cable at
tached to puIly, which is about fourteen
feet high on post some twelve feet be-
yond the starting point.
The power to draw this barrier is sup
piled by a heavy elastic: band. The
frame, before being released upon its
flying journey, is held in position by
trigger on both sides of the track, the
connection between these triggers being
a wire stretched across the track. As
soon as the horses are lined up, facing
the webbing, which is, perhaps. about
foot away, the starter pulls lever. which
releases the triggers. sends the webs flying
simultaneously and noiselessly upward
and outward until the horses are off in
line,
