mander of the Pacific Coast Battalion of

fort, are in the city for the purpose of
making arrangements for the appear
ance Of Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth in
this city.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ballington Booth, it will

new movement. She will be accom-
panied by the Volunteer Band, as well

COURAGEOUS PATRIOTISM

Charles Emory Smith, the distinguished
Journalist and widely known publicist,
whose thought has always commanded
the respect of his countrymen, has re-
Gently said, with the courage Of convic-
ton:
I'VE are against the outflow OF good
circulation and the inflow Of bad cit-
zenship. We find communism, revolu-
ton and anarchy no more attractive
and no less dangerous when urged by
therhetoric of Bryan than when enforced
by the bomb Of Altgeld or the pitch
fork of Tillman. We must teach the un-
ceasing lesson Of patriotism and rect1-
tude, and must educate the people to
maintain national honor as sacredly as
they maintained the national life and
to be no more ready In 1896 to cut In
two the standard value which is the
basis and measure Of all business secur-
ity than they were in 1861 to cut in
two the Union, which is the basis and
measure of our national greatness and
glory"

MR.. REID's STRONG EXPRESSION

The recent open letter Of Mr.. White
law Reid, the journalist, who has filled
so large place in American affairs and
has represented his country abroad with
such distinguished ability, has attracted
wide attention, because Of its compre-
hensive and fearless expression of opin-
ion concerning the Chicago platform
and the candidacy Of Mr.. Bryan, stand
ing upon that remarkable composite Of
error, prejudice, demagogy and greed
for place. regardless Of public interest.
There is one passage In the letter, the
strength and courage of which should
be emphasized by frequent repetition,
that its truths may sink into the
minds of the people. We refer to the
sentences embraced in the following ex-
tract:
Next to an attack on the eighth
commandment in enormity Is the attack
by our opponents on the Constitution
and courts of the United States. The
protest against the use Of the consti-
tutional power for the suppression OF
riot; the proposal to pack the Supreme
Court; the attempt to destroy the valid
ity Of contracts-these are not mere
demagogism or even intelligent COM
nunism. They are formal naturaliza-
ton into the United States of Russian
anarchy. Little better Is demanded
than that every thrifty. economical,
prosperous citizen shall be discrimin-
ated against and taxed. not merely once,
like other people. but twice, first on
what he has. then on what he earns.
Let US be as considerate as you please
Of our erring countrymen who have
been honestly misled; but let us indulge
in no disguise as to the unpatrtotic,
unamerican, revolutionary character
OF this whole programme"

SOCIAL EVENTS.

The Diamond P. Social Club of Per-
kinS gave a Pumpkin Pie social and
dance at that place on Thursday even
Ing. 1t was voted a grand success by
the guests, some Of whom were from
San Francisco, Dixon, Sacramento,
Florin and surrounding towns. Dancing 6
was indulged in until about 11:3O, when
recess was taken to allow the guests to
pass Judgment on ''ye pumpkin pie
before they started in to test them.
The general verdict was that the pies
were Just like mother used to make. "
After the appetites Of the guests had
been appeased dancing was resumed.
At the intervals between dances the
guests were entertained by Ed Ray
mond Of San Francisco with vocal selec-
tons that were highly appreciated.
The ladies Of the Maccabees gave a
lawn social at the grounds Of the
Model" at which there was a good at
tendance, despite the cold south wind
which was decidedly against outdoor
exercises. The grounds were beauti-
fully Illuminated with Japanese Ian
terms and nature and the landscape
gardener furnished the decorations.
The guests very much enjoyed the
following musical and literary pro-
gramme:
Address, Lady Mary G. Dunn; piano
solo, jeanette Elsworthy; recitation,
Miss Blanche Roaland; duet. Miss Ger
trude Cathcart and Gussy Kennedy;
mandolin duet, Frank Schadt and
George Worras; comic selection, Mr..
Baker; vocal solo, Mrs. Wilbur Smith /;
recitation, Lady Farris.
The Committee on Arrangements was
composed of Flora Hill, Catherine Cath
cart and Jennie Renfro.
At the close Of the exercises ice cream
and light refreshments were served.

Happy In the enjoyment Of tt

Happy In the enjoyment Of the
blessings OF free government the peo-
pie Of the United States sympathize
with those who are endeavoring to Sc
cure like blessings for themselves" says
Mr. Bryan in his letter Of acceptance.
Beside a few words more Of the same
tenor, that is the long and short of Mr..
Bryan's Cuban utterance. But he
went as far as does the platform on
which he stands, which dismisses the
matter in just seventeen words. Turn
now to the plank Of the Republican
party on that subject. It consists OF
two extended and unevasive para
graphs. 1t expresses sincere sympa-
thy for the Cubans, declares that they
are an oppressed people, and calls upon
the Government of the United States
to exert itself to give peace and in
dependence to the patriots since 1t is
clear that Spain has lost control of the
island" That is the difference between
the two platforms The truth is that
Mr.. Bryan was not called upon to say
anything at all upon the subject. One
who aspires to be Chief Executive, an
officer who may have to deal with in
ternational questions, should have said
nothing about the Cuban question. He
could have afforded to pass over 1t and
let the platform speak for him. But
with words, words, meaningless words,
Bryan has made more insipid the weak
and cowardly expression of the plat
form on which he stands.

THE WAY OUT.

The facts are not denied. namely, that
tha Tinted States has larger per cap
ita of silver coinage than any other ma
+,on on a similar financial basis, and a
larger silver per capita than the coun-
tries whose system rests upon a silver
basis only. Nevertheless, there Is
demand for an increase of the volume
Of silver money in this country, because
Of the magnitude Of our domestic busl-
ness and the largeness OF our general
transactions.
The Record Union" has from the
outset contended for an increase In the
volume Of the silver coinage Of the coun-
trv to the fullest need Of legitimate de-
mand. 1t has held, and SO maintained
that the issue should be on Govern
ment account, and not for individual
ontion and gain, and that the parity be-
twaen the metals Of coinage must be
maintained and nothing done that VIII
break it down.
How. then. can the parity be sus-
tanned and the volume Of silver coinage
augmented and free coinage at 10 10
avoided? To our mind the process Is
neither difficult nor in contravention OF
the declarations Of Republican policy
and we therefore look forward to the
Republtcan party, when Installed In the
seat of Government, adopting ana car
rving out this plan or one similar TO II.
The thought is as follows:
Order to coinage all the surplus Sill
yer bullion in the United States Treas
ury. This will Immediately and aoso-
luteIy force into circulation over 1oo'-
10000 silver dollars, and enlarge our
full tender silver coinage to figure De-
tween S65O,OO0,000 and $SOO.Ooo,ooo.
But this order for coinage should be ac-
companied by legislation making al
silver issue of the Government legal
tender to the extent Of $50. and that
there may not be too great inconve-
nienoe Of bulk Of silver. the measure
should provide for silver bill OF sZo
denomination
WQ6n tnle ~ OcliSp AcS lhO S<A~AAo -~o-
lation provide that there shall be no
coinage of gold and no issue Of any pa
per based on gold in any denomination
less than $40. The effect OF such ad-
iustment would be to give US all the sill
yer necessary for domestic use. Gold
Will not be driven out, but will remain
ample for our foreign exchange and the
transaction Of the commercial business
of all the people.
There Will be no fifty-cent dollar OF
any kind, but an honest dollar of gold
and a full legal tender dollar Of silver.
There Will be no wrenching Of the bust
ness OF the country nor excitation OF
fears which lead to q panic; no raising
of interest or exchange rates: no re-
duction Of the purchasing power of any
of the money of the people; no poor
mans and no rich mans money, and
no disturbance Of values: no deprecia-
ton or abasement Of representatives OF
value In fact, the plan will settle the
silver question equitably and safely.

mored Jollity and exhuberant health
are a proverbial combination. The hearty
man who is always laughing doesn't
have any trouble with his digestion, 1t
has been said that laughing makes peo-
pie healthy. The truth is that health
makes people laugh.
There isn't any other thing SO essential
to health as regularity in the action of
the bowels. Most all sickness starts with
some arrangement of the digestive func-
TONS Good digestion means good, pure
blood, and that means strength Once
let the bowels become clogged with
refuse matter, and the whole system is
deranged. Impure, poisonous matter
gets into the blood and plants the seeds
for all sorts of sickness.
Whenever there is stoppage of the
intestinal action, help should be given
Immediately. Usually mild, gentle
laxative is all that is necessary. A vio-
lent, wrenching, gripping cathartic is
never needed. DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pei

Kern Echo: The word "demonetiza-
ton" is being used most recklessly by
many speakers and writers this year.
The Act of 1873 did not "demonetize"
silver, nor has silver ever been demone-
tized in the history Of this Government.
The Act referred to-the So-called
crime of 1S13''-merely suspended the
coinage Of the silver dollar. 1t allowed
the coinage Of halves and quarters to
continue and the supply Of new money
was rapidly increased Immediately
after the year mentioned.

the mine owner is to be permitted to

Estate of Daniel Winter, deceased.
Appeal from decree of distribution.
Affirmed.
The question to what period survivor
ship is to relate must depend rather
upon the apparent intention Of the tes-
tator in each case, than upon any rigid
rule, or any technical words. This inten-
tion too, is to be collected either from
the particular disposition or the general
context Of the will.
If legacy be given to two or more, to
be equally divided between them, or to
the survivor or survivors of them, the
survivorship must be referred to the
period Of division. If previous life
estate be given, then the period Of divi-
sion Is the death Of the tenant for life,
and the survivors at that time take the
whole. See, also. Sec. 1896. c.. C.
