The nomination of II. B. FERGUSON for

with the enthusiastic approval of the

as though it would be as easy as sliding

There seems to be little or no doubt
that Tom Catron will fall long way
short of getting the Republican support
of Sierra county. The silver issue was
too ruthlessly turned down at the conven-
ton at Las Vegas to suit the voters of a
county whose interests have so thorough
ly suffered by the decline in the value of
the white metal. Whom the taxable valua-
ton of county declines from $5,000,0O0
to little over 100000 in ten years the
few that remain with their deprecated in
terests do not feel like supporting man
that is willing to keep them there

Whose Friend is CatrOn

Correspondence of the Optic: The
people want honesty of purpose. Promi.
ses don't 60. They want statehood and
honest representation. Ferguson alone
can give it. If any one doubts the above,
search the record of both men and be
convinced. FERGUSON is the poor mans
friend. Whose friend is Oatronf Mono
poly and the grant-owners. God help the
miners, if Catron could handle them. Will
he, Catron, tell us what he did with that
bill sent him from Albuquerque, to aid in
settling the land grant and give the miner
show to help himself by being owner of
the ore of the mineral he worked so hard
to put on the dump, and not be obliged
to abandon it, by the so.called grant.

Inc supreme court mas renu-
cred decision in the assumpsit
suit of w. King vs.. A. Hutchin-
son on the following contract:
"Studio, Nuuanu Avenue,
Honolulu, March q, 81.
II agree to pay Mr.. William
King two hundred dollars on re-
ceiving the commission to execute
a statue for Kalakaua Monument
! Committee or as soon as moneys
for said statue are paid into my
hands.
"ALLEN HUTCHINSON"
Judge Whiting writes the de-
cision of the Court, which is con-
Cured in by Chief Justice Judd
and Justice Frear. In the Dis
trict Court of Honolulu Judgment
was rendered in favor Of the
plaintiff, King, and defendant
appealed on the following points
of law:
81. The agreement is illegal
being made by one whose duty it
was to obtain the best contract
without favoring any person, the
appellee, w. King, being a men,
Der of the Kalakaua Monument
Association.
"The agreement has not been
performed (a) by obtaining (if
that had been done) contract for
a statue, and (b) because such
contract for a,statue was not OBJ
tanned"
The law of the case is stated as
follows:
III, a sculptor, agreed to pay
X. If X. obtained a commission
from an association for statue
No commission for statue was
obtained, but after three years
commission for a bust was OBJ
tanned from the association. Held,
that III. is not liable to X. OH the
agreement to obtain a commission
for statue Statue construed
not to mean or include bust"
Accordingly the court decides
as follows: sit is unnecessary to
consider the first point raised. The
appeal is sustained, judgment re-
versed and the case remanded to
the District Magistrate to enter
Judgment for defendant" P.
Neumann for plaintiff; j. M. Mon
sarrat for defendant.
Judge Whiting is author of a
unanimous decision of the
Supreme Court in the case of
Emma Defries VS.. Bruce Cart
wright and HI. E. Mcintyre, exc
cutors of the will of G. Trousseau.
The plaintiff brought an action
against the defendants upon a
promissory note of the late DR..
Trousseau, and produced evidence
that showed that the claim was
presented on February 25, 1895,
and on February 26, 1895, was re-
jected by the defendants, and on
April 27, 1895, the plaintiff began
her action and summons issued.
The Circuit Court decided that
suit was not brought within the
two months required by the law
relating to claims in probate.
This decision is affirmed by the
Supreme Court, which holds that
the statute of non-claim or special
limitations need not be specially
pleaded like the statute of limita-
tons in personal actions. P.
Neumann for plaintiff; G. Brown
for defendants.

its coinage such silver coins
as legal tender in payment
of said bonds, principal and in
terest, IS not in violation of the
public faith, nor in derogation of the
| rights of the public creditor"
"Now, let us hear no more of

ernment in gold only. This resolution
stands today as the law in regard to
the kind of money in which our govern
ment bonds may be paid. If Mckinley
is elected his plan of paying in gold
| will be adhered to. If Bryan is elected
tsilver will take its place alongside
with gold as redemption money. Which
