Editor HoJme, to the Fore

There was printed in today's Los An
geles Times an entirely unwarranted and
grossly libelous article, attacking the per-
sonal character and reputation of the edi.
tor of this paper. 1t is needless to say to
Riverside readers that the statements it
contains are absurdly false and baseless and
that when first printed by local paper we
ignored them because of the source from
which they came. The Press editor has
for years had thrown upon his shoulders
the burden of the defense of his section,
both from internal and external enemies,
and has allowed no personal considera-
ton to deter him from doing what he
believed his duty as journalist. His only
desire has been to secure the prosperity
and upbuilding of the valley and the har-
mony and happiness of its people. 1t would
have been easier aud perhaps financially
advantageous to have acted the coward
and ignored some things. But while we
have thus far, as rule. let pass merely
personal abuse of ourselves, we have never
allowed to go unnoticed an attempt to in
jure the reputation of Riverside or her peo.
pie. That they will share our indignation
over the injustice of the Times slanderous
attack we cannot doubt.-Riverside Press.

On distant shore. meath azure sky,
Where music soft OF the murmuring sea
rreets the wanderers ear on the shell deck cd

But brighter ray than of sunlit isle
Is the heavenly light Of a mothers smile.
There is music sweet borno on zephyr wing,
OF the thrilling strains which the wild birds
sing;
There is music clear in the babbling stream,
Shining and bright as an evening dream;
But the sweetest song tn at time e'er sung
Was the melting lay OF d mothers toLgue.
There is rapture strange in the midnight

When angels turn from heavenly scene.
To stoop o er n slumbering con ch so low,
Where a mothers pure petitions flow;
Then tear away 10 that home. more iar,

But earth purest gem is q mothers love.

we'll organized, skillfully directed, we'll in
trenched, and exceedingly dangerous, no
longer admits of doubt. Teller of Color
ado, and Jones of Nevada, are its brains. 1t
began with the Wholesale manufacture of
new states in the far west by the Republican
party. Having thus obtained a strong mi
nority in the senate, the silver forces, by
virtue of an anti-force bill intrigue with
German, defeated cloture and intrenched
themselves behind the rules. For the
present they have majority i'll the
senate, but, majority or no majority, they
are secure. Success of their plot requires
not action but the absence of it. Without
cloture action against a strong and deter
mined minority is impossible. Not for
years, it is morally certain, will any legis-
lation pass the senate that will make it uu-
necessary for the president of the United
States to buy gold for bonds if he wishes to
maintain the reserve, and with and through
it the present monetary standard. This
part of the plot is assuredly successful.
How about the other part? VIII they
succeed in getting into the White House a
president who refuses to maintain the re-
serve fund as Mr.. Cleveland has mau-
tanned it? Everything depends upon the
courage and tirmuess of the leaders of the
two great parties, upon the courage and
understand ag of the delegates who make
up the two great national conventions. The
conspirators are playing their cards we'll.
First, they work up sentiment against IN
creasing the national debt in time of peace.
Those piotters who are Democrats easily
convince members of their party that
such increase is not in accordance with
true democratic principles. Those who
are Republicans quite as easily persuade
their party confreres to denounce the DEM
ocratic president for his sales of bonds.
Both parties are thus caught in the silver
trap, both are drifting along toward their
national conventions with tendency to
denounce addition to the national debt in
time of peace. Suppose both platforms
contain such denunciation-that is one
great point gained. 1t then remains only
to secure the nomination of candidates who
will adhere to the platform.
If any one supposes the silver forces in
either party hope to secure the adoption OF
an out-and-out free silver plank he Is
much mistaken. They may ask for this,
and insist upon it most strenuously, max
ing their demand something to trade with,
but they do not expect to get 1t. Their
real aim is an antibond declaration in both
parties, if they can get it, but in one II
they can do no better; after that the
nomination by both conventions so'1ve 3n ,Sa os
letter the tcnets Of the platform. If they
can't get both they will take one. Then in
the campaign they will maneuver to secure
the election of the candidate who is most
likely to protect their interests, be he Re-
nublicau or Democrat. 1t all these coilven.
tion intrigues fail, and both parties turn a
| deaf ear to their Establishments. the plot
tiers have in reserve the stra'ght-out silver

THE SILVER CONSPIRACY

The great silver conspiracy is afoot. 1t
is a conspiracy to bring about monetary
revolution, to take the country from a gold
basis and put it on a slver-paper basis.
Many friends of the present system do not
realize the danger which this conspiracy
threatens. They pin their faith to the
great majority against free silver which ex-
lists in this country, to the good sense and
conservatism of the people. They say, and
rightly, that this country will never vote
to adopt the monetary system of Mexico,
of Chile, OF Peru. But they overlook the
fact that in order to succeed in
their present plans the silver
men do not care to carry the
country. They do not need to meet the is
sue squarely. The conspirators think they
have an easier and surer way of reaching
the desired end. Aud what is the plot? A
very simple one. With their blockade OF
the senate they propose to prev snt the ell
actment OF any law that will enable the
executive to maintain the gold reserve and
the gold standard without repeated issues
of bonds. Then they propose to intrigue
with the political parties to bribe or bull
doze them, till they get into the White
House man who will refuse to issue
bonds for that purpose. Anyone can see
what would follow.
