0lgneQ second protest against the
granting of the right of way to the
Southern California Railway company
through the Legge tract for the laying
offanother track. The first protest was
presented at last Mondays session of
the city council and Trustee Reynolds
motion to grant the plea of the protest.
ants was not seconded, and the protest
was filed without action being taken
upon II. The proposition Of the railroad
company is that when the Strengthened
track is laid the old track can be used
as side-track. The railroad company
owns the land legally on which the old
track Is and they could therefore do
this If the council permitted. If it was
done long freight or passenger trains
might block both Chestnut and Walnut
streets, as the distance between these
streets is a short block. This would
cause great deal of danger, especially
to school children who attend the Will
son school in the vicinity. This is what
the property owners and citizens will
fight against.
A HANNA DEMOCRAT.
Mr.. w. A. Harris, a Mckinley gold
Democrat, who has changed his political
affiliations about six times in the last
few years, addressed not over appre-
ciative audience at the Republican
"tepee' Saturday evening. He avoided
the tariff and spoke solely on the money
question in round about, hap-hazerd
way. He said he was Democrat, not
a revolutionist; that there was condi-
ton confronting the American people to-
day as serious as the condition that con-
fronted the people in 1861 and more so,
as then a party sought to divide the
country, now they seek to dishonor it
and repudiate obligations entailed dur
ing the crucial period of our late civil
war. Next he paid glowing compli-
ment to public opinion, but spoiled the
effect by asserting that great crimes
were frequently caused by the same
After extolling Mckinley and Palmer as
patriots, he characterized such people
as eXMayor Hazard and j. L. Murphy
as traitors. He said that while McKin-
ley and Palmer were fighting their coun-
try's battles Hazard and Murphy were
trying to get their baby toes in their
mouths.
Abiding to Coins Financial School,
he said it was untrue and all -imagina-
ton. and he made the astounding state
ment that the markets created wealth
and that silver and gold were controlled
by markets and not by statutes, but
failed to make his meaning apparent.
He insisted that we could not MAIN
tain ratio of 16 to 1 without England's
consent and that International agree
ment was the only way we could get the
free coinage of silver He scored Sena-
tor White for his efforts for the free
coinage of silver, praised McLachlan
for everything in general and nothing
in particular and did not give his record
on the harbor bill or his accomplishments
as topper on the silver question.
