have talked of nothing except silver and
gold. But beneath the surface the war
over the religious issue has gone on
with undiminished enthusiasm. The
Monitor" the church's organ, has
maintained a steady fire on Spreckels
and the Call" Last week Major
Charles, the Generals chief editor, was
fiercely attacked. The Monitor gave
President Hudleson of the A. p. A. as
it's authority for the statement that the
Major had agreed to send a Cali re-
porter into Catholic converts, ostensibly
to write them up in a friendly way, but
really to spy upon the sisters and If pos
sible discover something to their dis
credit. Poor an authority as HudleSon
now is on any question of fact, | am
informed that Colonel and Major Short
ridge were SO disturbed by the .Moni-
tors article that they visited the
papers office to offer the editor, Father
Yorke, their assurances of the falSity OF
the story. 1t is surprising that man of
Father YOrke'S masculine sense and
knowledge of the San Francisco press,
should have given a moments credence
to such romance. No San Francisco
daily would dare to publish a convent
scandal, even if it had knowledge of one
least of any the Call which is pub
lished to keep out of trouble with all.
But the fire of the Monitor" has made
great breaches in the Calls circula-
ton and rendered it pretty certain that
no candidate who has Spreckels' support
will get many Catholic votes. One OF
the Generals most notable achieve
ments in politics is to have set the
church aflame with detestation of him
self and everything and everybody be-
longing to him. AS the campaign pro-
crosses, the A. P. A. will, of course, as
sert itself, and then we shall be happy
in the possession of all the elevating
joys of political Donnybrook.

Lashed the Bars With Birch.

It is a cold day when the really in
genious cyclist walks home with an in
jured wheel No one thinks any more
of going out without the appliances for
a tire repair. A rider recently, while
miles from home and far from any re-
lief, broke his handle-bar at the joint
with the post. The accident happened
in locality where birch trees -four
ished and he selected saplings and
lashed a section to each fork, the upper
ends being securely fastened to the
handle-bar near the grip. Another piece
was lashed to the bar across the top
of the post and to each upright stick.
There was loss of motion, to be sure,
but the device enabled the ingenious
young man to ride home. If a supply
of strong strings and a pocket knife are
included in a tool kit and suitable
timber can be found this repair may
be duplicated by any one who meets
with similar accident.-Chicago

EVENING MEETING
Addressed by Stewart L. Woodford
of New York.

The meeting closed tonight with an
address in the great tent by General
Stewart L. Woodford of New York. The
audience was even larger than that that
listened to the speeches of Senator Sher-
man and Senator-elect Foraker this
afternoon, consisting mainly of work
ingmen. A glee of 100 male voices, ac-
companied by great organ on the
stage, sang patriotic and campaign
songs at this evenings meeting.
General Woodford stated briefly the
position of the three principal parties,
as set forth in their platforms. He said
he believed and would try to prove that
the Democratic declaration, if carried
into effect, would reduce us to silver mo-
nometallism, where Mexico, China and
India are. '"The honest fulfillment of
the Populist pledges" he said, would
put us on paper basis, redeemable in
paper and in paper alone, and just
where no civilized land in the world is
to-day. 1t would be a currency of soap
bubbles redeemable in soap bubbles, af-
fording no basis or foundation for any
superstructure of business, farming or
labor
He gave three illustrations of Populist
finance from history, the first being the
issue of paper money by John Law,
Minister of Finance in France, in 1920;
the second the issue of paper assignats
and mandates in 1869 and 1876, and the
third the issue of continental bills by our
own Continental Congress between 1715
tand 1880. All of these experiments
were disastrous failures, and that of
the Continental Congress ended in COM
piete repudiation.
This is a hard word" said the
speaker, "but 1t is truthful. I leave to
the conscience, to the judgment of every
patriotic citizen, whether he calls him
self Populist Democrat or Republican.
to answer this question: If Congress
did not, would not, or could not keep the
legal tender national money of the revo-
luton at par, is it honest or wise for us
to attempt the experiment now?"
Mr.. Woodford expressed his convic-
ton of the honesty of the men of the
Populist party, and said he had no pa
tience with those who sneer at or reyiIe
them. Il beg them, by lessons of his
tory and by the memories of the conti-
mental struggles and the reputation of
the continental currency, to desist from
the effort they make to-day Their de-
feat will be for their good and our good.
and the good of the common country.
They must be defeated in this unwise
and unfortunate assault upon the labor
and the savings of the people,"
The speaker compared the Democrats
and the Democratic party with those of
the Populist party, which agree that all
paper money which is made legal ten
der shall be issued by the Government of
the United States. But the Democracy
declare that such legal tender paper
shall be redeemable in coin, and there is
no such purpose or willingness ex-
pressed in the Populist platform
Where" he asked, does Mr. Bryan
stand. and which flag does he follow ?

SENATOR-ELECT FORAKER,
Free Coinage Can Only Succeed
Through international Agreement.

When Senator Sherman finished Gov
ernor Bushnell introduced Senator elect
Foraker. The cheering which greeted
him lasted two or three minutes. When
he mentioned McKinley's name in his
opening remarks the scene which fol-
lowed was for short time like the
memorable one in the st. Louis conven-
ton when he mentioned McKinley's
name in his nominating speech Mr..
Foraker said:
Mr.. Chairman and fellow citizens:
For three years in succession Republi-
can majorities in this State and
throughout the country have been over
whelming. The years 1893, 1894 and
1898 show an increasing strength for
Republicanism, and corresponding
losses for Democracy. These election
verdicts have been the peoples condem-
nation of Democratic maladministration
III national affairs. What has hap
pened since the elections of last year
to change the verdict of the people as
then recorded? In Administration
nothing, In legislation, nothing. No
body pretends that Mr. Cleveland or
anybody else has done anything to re-
deem Democracy from the faults on
which it was condemned last year
Why, then, should there be contest
for supremacy this year? Why should
it be necessary to hold this meeting
or any other meeting, for we must
know exactly what that question is
and this is particularly true in the
present case, for much effort is being
made to cause it to appear that the Re-
publican party has changed it's position
That is not true. 1t stands exactly
where it has been standing heretofore
It's st. Louis platform is but a repe-
tition of all it's previous declarations
on the currency question. 1t is not
that explicit, but in substance and
effect it is precisely Identical
Briefly and simply stated, our posi-
tion is that we propose to maintain
what we have until we can get some
thing better. What we have is the
single gold standard, with the use of
the largest quantity of both silver and
paper that can be maintained on par
with gold. What we want is the double
or bimetallic standard under which we
can have, not only the free coinage of
both metals, but the actual use of both
metals as we now have, with the addi-
ticnal use of silver for redemption
purposes. We propose to secure this
by international agreement, the only
possible way to secure it, in our judg-
ment.
why should there be any effort to
secure the election of a Republican
President? Why does not the verdict
of last year stand good for this? The
answer is, there is a new issue, the
money question has been brought to
the front, and we are to determine
whether or not we shall have free sill
yer. Why has this new issue been
made? What is the nature of it?
What is the right of it? 1t has been
born of Democratic desperation. On
the tariff question, which has been the
| issue for years, they were overwhelm-
| ingly defeated before the fight COM
menced. Their victory in 1892 proved
to them great misfortune. 1t gave
them an opportunity to present an OBJ
| Ject lesson to the American people.
Coming into power on the plea of oppo-
sition to protection, 1t was necessary
for them to legislate accordingly. They
