What ohaunoey Depew Says.

Mr.. DepeT says that the country has
suffered for years because Of the doubt
about our currency, that this has been
one Of the causes CT the financial and in
dustrial depression from which we are
still suffering, and that "the hold up
in the senate by the silver senators CT
all measures for the relief Of the trecs-
ury, unless coupled with the free coin
age Of silver upon an arbitrary ratio,
has made the money question the lead
ing and most important issue to be de-
cided in this campaign. :" He adds:
''The agricultural, manufacturing,
mercantile and wage earning interests
CT the country have at last al opportu-
nifty to settle at cree and forever that
the United States shall be put porma-
nently upon geld standard; that the
workingmen's money shall be the best
money; that the credit CT the United
States, because Of its wealth, resources
and undeveloped possibilities, shall be
the best in the world. No party which
fails emphatically to say this can carry
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut or
Massachusetts. Upon any other basis
Pennsylvania will be doubtful, as will
also be Michigan, Minnesota and Illi-
nois. The question row can neither be
side tracked nor eliminated nor sup
pressed. The feeling CT tho country is SO
acute on the currency and the deter
mination to settle and dispose of it is SO
emphatic that both the Republican and
the Democratic national conventions
have got to make it the leading issue,
and the one that fails will fight Il losing
battle

An Honest Division.

The Detroit Free Press says that there
is to be no lodging on the financial
question by the Democratic presidential
candidate. "The aspil ant who now talks
of straddle might just as well draw in
his boom and devote himself to his pri-
vate business. Though there is a division
in the ranks on this subject, it is an
honest one, and the element that con-
trolls in the Chicago convention is going
to know the views of the man placed in
nomination. !"

CARSON'S MINT SCANDAL
It Is Revived by a Peculiar Suit
in Judge McKenna'S
Court.
Heavy Mortgages Transferred by
Convict Heney to His Two
Attorneys.

The old Carson Mint scandal was re-
vived in Judge McKenna's court yesterday
when Assistant United States Attorney
Sam Knight asked that Treasurer Coffin
and William Woodburn be restrained from
further procedure in the matter of foreclos-
ing certain mortgages held by them.
After hearing the facts in the case Judge
McKenna Immediately issued an order
conforming with Mr.. Knights request.
The mortgages referred to were prior to
December 81, 1895, the property of James
Heney, who, on the day in question, was
convicted of embezzling S21 900 belonging
to the Government. Heney was a dis
solver in the United States mint at Carson
City, and when the Grand Jury returned a
true bill against him his trial and convic-
ton speedy followed. Heney was SEN
fenced to eight years in the penitentiary
and to pay a fine of $4,000. 1t was to avoid
the payment of this sum that the mort
cages were transferred.
On the night of his conviction the eX-
discover sent for his attorneys and in
formed them that he held mortgages on
property in San Francisco amounting to
nearly $4,000 He admitted having kept
the affair quiet in order that the United
States Marshal might not learn of the fact.
He asked his attorneys if they would &C
cept an assignment of the mortgages and
they readily agreed to do so.
Coffin took a $4,000 mortgage on Nine
teenth and Capp streets and Woodburn
another for $4,000 on property at Twenty
fifth and Sanchez. Heney proceeded to
his new prison home, while the attorneys
came to this City hoping to realize on
their unexpected fortune.
Some days ago Mr.. Knight learned oi
the transaction and he at once set about
to thwart the neatly laid scheme of the
convict. An affidavit was filed in the Cir
cult Court on Saturday last declaring that
the money invested in the mortgages had
been stolen by mint employe while act
ing as dissolver and consequently he was
not the owner of the property already
mentioned. Yesterday Mr.. Knight secured
temporary injunction against the parties
now holding the mortgages. The case
will come up for further hearing July 6.
In the meantime Attorneys Coffin and
Woocburn are making ready for vlgor-
Gus fight to protect the property which
thus came into their hands.

Constitution of the Socialist Trade and
Labor Alliance Adopted.
The Hotel and Restaurant Employees met
last night at the Turk Temple, Fred
Mort president of the union, in the chair.
The constitution of the Socialist Trade

adopted. This constitution has been sent

or rejection.

the boycott on the Parrott block was acted
on favorably to the request
Leon Brown, labor secretary, reported
all members of the union employed, and
Theodore Lynch, delegate from the Gen.

the transactions of the central body.

committee of the united German unions

Personally I am grateful to the Democracy

Mr.. Buckley, and Mr.. Mitchell corrects

ROBBED A ROOM MATE.
for Suicide, Arrested for Grand
Larceny.

Nathaniel Feldman, who gives his occu-
patton as, medical man," was placed in
the City Prison yesterday afternoon by
Detectives Gibson and Wren on the charge
of grand larceny.
On Nav the Sheriff took possession of
the lodging house, 1123 Howard street,
where Feldman lodged. He offered to
assist the landlady in removing the furni-
ture and while doing so, it is alleged, he
stole a gold watch valued at $500 and a
diamond cross pin valued at $3.50, belong
ing to Daniel Mccoy, another lodger. who
was out of the City at the time
Feldman pawned the articles and left
for Los Angeles. He returned two or three
days ago and Gibson and Wren arrested
him yesterday afternoon on Kearny street.
When searched at the City Prison a re-
volver was found in his pocket and an
additional charge of carrying concealed
weapon was placed against him.
In his pockets were also found lot of
letters in which he spoke of com mitting
suicide. One of them was addressed to
Rabbi Levy, whom he asked to see that be
got decent lnterment when his body was
found.

with Iust and reputable Democratic doc
trine. l am not a candidate myself and

A large majority of Alameda County
will be against Gould and all at his
combination represents. So will practi-
calIy all of the Los Angeles delegation,
for both factions are opposed to him. Nc
Nab has been claiming the LosA Angeles peo-
ple but while here Gaffey announced his
hostility. The Mitchell faction is opposed
to hi m beyond all doubt. The solid So
lano delegation, half of the Colusa and a
large share of his own delegation, the one
from San Joaquin County, will be for
somebody else. Marin will be solldly op-
posed TO him, and so on through the
State the true strength of Gould appears
in contrast to McNab's shouts of victory.
The anti-Daggett sentlmentln the party
shows itself more prominently as the con-
fict wears, and while Daggett seemed
two weeks ago to have a fighting
chance to use and win much
power in the convention it now ap-
pears certain that Daggett's programme
will be ripped up the middle. Gould was
put forth by Daggett and McNab, and, as
he represents that programme and has
partnership interest in its success, he will
be opposed by every delegate who is ep-
posed to Daggett's administration pro-
gramme, to his efforts to get party power,

over to Daggett, Rainey and McNab.
