ADAMS TAKES AN APPEAL
Justice Rossiter Gave Him q Severe Dose
Yesterday
Fined s100 and Thirty Days in Jail
Thinks the Sentence Excessive-At-
torneys Have Wordy Time.

The Sam K. Adams battery case was
finally settled so far as the police courts
are concerned, yesterday and the de-
fendant was given a severe dose by
Justice Rossiter, being fined 800 ard
thirty days in Jail. From this decision
an appeal was taken to the superior
court and bonds in the sum of $500 given
pending a decision.
In the absence OF Justice Morrison
Justice Rossiter has presided during
the trial of the case, and on Monday
found the defendant guilty of assault
ing Rev. c. G. Mclean during the Re
publican county convention in Septem-
ber last Adams offered no testimony in
his own behalf and evidently rested Sc
cure in the belief that he would either
escape free, or at most a light fine would
be imposed. In this he was disagreea-
bly, surprised.

evidence imposed the fine and sentence

ally he attacked the district attorneys
office and said it was unusual for them
to manifest such a desire for severe
sentence as had been requested by the
public prosecutor.
In reply Deputy District Attorney
Willis alluded in sarcastic terms to an
indictment for embezzlement. which,
he alleged, had hung over Mr.. Garrett
for the past two years, and rendered
that attorneys presence in court mat
ter of questionable taste. This precip-
itated a wordy squabble in which not
much attention was paid to legal pro-
cedure or courtesy, and for time an
other battery case seemed imminent.
Order was finally restored by the court
before any one had been hurt other than
in their feelings.
Sentence was then pronounced, from
which an appeal was taken upon mat
ters of fact and law and upon the
ground of punishment being excessive

PARADE NOTES
A Little Hitch in the Frogram-There
Were Side Remarks

Great disappointment was felt by
many who had gone to the corner Of
Spring and Seventh streets early and Sc
cured advantageous positions near the
stand where Speaker Reed was to have
reviewed the parade, expecting to be
able to catch a glimpse Of the big man.
Owing to the lateness Of the hour at
which the column started 1t was neces-
sary to proceed direct to Athletic park,
and the procession had already turne!
down Fifth street before the throng
around the corner became aware that
any change in the published route was
contemplated. When they did find 1t out
there was a scramble, ard in five minutes
the streets in that neighborhood were
deserted.
While the parade was passing the cor
ner of First and Spring streets some very
unkind remarks were thrown ut the
marchers by a crowd of young fellows
perched on the steps of the bank build
ing on the northeast corner They pso-
posed three cheers for Old England as
the relocated First Voters Sound
Money club marched by, then as an
other section came along gave yell for
the Union Jack, finally winding up by
proposing three cheers for Bryan and
silver which were given with vim.
In the parade, near the front, ap-
peared crowd of students from the Uni
verslty who although not voters, helped
to swell the procession and yell for Nc
Kinley and the single standard. They
were especially vociferous in their
shouts, but that was as far as 1t went.
Along the line of march the young men
were hailed as infants by spectators,
but that did not dar1pen their enthusi-
asm, and they yelled on.

The total effect of attempting to adjust
free coinage to this country will mean
ruin.
Mr.. Bryan began to cast a shadow
over the land in July and we can form
some estimate of the danger threatened
when say that in one month the Penn
sylvania railroad-just one corporation
lost Sl,000,000. You may say that
corporation has no soul, but the stock
holders have and the trainmen. On COM
ing west 1 noticed that the trainmen
very generally realized that with de-
preciated currency business would con-
tract and their wages would suffer.
LABOR. AND THE CURRENCY.
Il suppose no class of people is 80 af-
fected by deprecated currency as the
laboring men. I mean those working for
daily wage or for salaries, and what
concerns them concerns all of us.
Some Of the careless fellows tell us
that a country Is never so prosperous
as with a deprecated currency. But
know better, for history tells us other
wise. In 1876 we had deprecated
| currency which the United States could
F.; not keep at par. Our bravest men were
fighting in the field, and 1t couldn't be
done. Did wages rise with commodities
then? Productions increased about 1876
per cent, and the workingmen lost about
SO per cent by the deprecated currency.
I>oW, SupPoSe you get @l per Qdy as
wage. and flour costs SIS per barrel, you
can buy it for five days labor. IT, how
ever, flour goes UP to $40 per barrel,
where do you stand? But. you say, oh,
wages will rise! Yes, but it took until
1860 before wages began to rise at the
time 1 have alluded to, and you can't
afford to wait. But is not human labor
a commodity, you ask? Yes, 1t is, but
its conditions are peculiar If you ave
days labor to sell, how long can you
afford to argue with an employer about
the price? If you stand arguing. the
day is gone. If you can't sell a marrel
of flour, you can stick on to it and sell
it next day If you can't sell your labor
| for day you can't send it to San Fran
cisco. for the day would be gone. If the
people here don't want your barrel of
! flour however, you can send it to San
Francisco, where they do want it.
| WHAT CALIFORNIA NEEDS.
What you want is not reputation,
but chance to borrow-particularly
here in California. Borrowing used to
mean that man was falling behind, but
now it means that a man of sense is
widening out his business operations
! and developing his resources
Some one said that If the pilgrim

Rockies. He was wrong, for when the

the time being in jubilant humor. .
meantime the speaker remained un-
covered and impassive. Finally, as the
cheers died away, he spoke somewhat
as follows:
Fellow Citizens-For the first time in
my life find myself facing a multitude
so great that 1t seems hopeless that
can with my voice reach half of them
Your presence is a greater speech than
any 1 can make and. shows that the
cause of Righteousness has found a
strong foothold on the Pacific coast.
California alone and of itself is great
country. l told the people of New York
when l returned from California eight
years ago that if their state was en-
broidered on California they could have
Pennsylvania put there also and have
little left over. But California, great
in its area, is still greater in the richness
of its productions. The time will come
when your population will stagger the
east, for you have the riches to give to
countless millions of people.
THE EASTERN MARKET.
But you have disadvantages. You
have the ocean on one side and are sep
arated from people you have no de-
sire to have any very close acquaintance
with. On the other side is a desert, and
you are separated from your market.
1t Is one Of the most striking issues of
this campaign whether California shall
have a market in the United States.
That is for you to consider for yourself.
There is another point we all agree
upon-I say all because it doesn't seem
as If any were left out of this gathering
but 1 meant the Democrats and take
pleasure in speaking of them.
1t is astonishing what a little argu-
ment will do for people. We've been
dallying with the silver question for
years and now after full discussion it
is astonishing how little there is in it. I
don't know how to approach it save as
l did in Maine, from the standpoint of
common sense. Whatever 1 say is not
of consequence because I say it. unless
1t meets with response in your minds.
Unless I can present arguments that
appeal to you they ought not to carry
weight. But the people in 1892 didnt
get anything more than they deserved,
and the experience ought to last them
for the next century
SOME FACTS AND FIGURES.

peared in line. but the majority of their
bearers were all but German; in fact it
was a motley, cosmopolitan crowd.
Those who are in a position to know
(and there are quite number of reput-
able German speaking fellow citizens)
claim that not quite two dozen of those
honest umbrella bearers were known as
members of the German American Nc
Kinley club. The others were outsiders
gotten for the occasion. Even the Span
ish element contributed to that Ger
man" club parade; youngsters unable to
vote were also there. The managers of
that club were evidently bent upon
making some showing, and not being
able to get a sufficient number of men,
bers to parade (for reasons well known
to themselves) took in outsiders.
The whole parade was gotten up re-
gardless Of expense. A months time
has been devoted to it, and the result
was very satisfactory to those people
who labored so long and faithfully to
the end they had in view.
But, after it all, the result has not
changed one iota. Los AngeleS>county

ors than it will to the Mckinley electors,

to prove the assertion. 1t has had the

And yet some of us are struggling

AN INDICTMENT.
Gentlemen, you can't afford to make
blunder. Who are they that are cry
ing for free coinage? They are the
Democratic party with the good men out
of it. and if the Democratic party with
the good men in it have made such mis-
takes since 1892, what will the party
minus the good men do? They will
cause turmoil and trouble and attack
our Institutions. They clamored before
for low pricee-well, we've got em, and
now they are clamoring for high prices.
I'm in favor myself of low prices. In
good times the farmers products have
gone up, and history proves it, but other
products are tending downward. sub

IF we return our party by such

in good humor by saying he hoped this
was the last election in California in
which the ladies could not participate.
Mr.. Fitch stated that he had just re-
turned from a campaign tour through
Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and
part of Missouri, which was superfluous,

could not make an impression on the
average silverite. Mr.. Fitch in his open
ing remarks stated that bimetallism as
preached by Bryan meant silver mono-
metallism. The audience cheered this
disregard for the truth with much vim
He stated that he was not only Repub-
lican, but a bimetallist as well, but he
refused to be led by Mr.. Bryan, the boy
orator who indulged in metaphors of
pilfered rhetoric" Mr.. Fitch in the
course of his remarks resorted to that
old and time-worn argument, SO much
used by Republican orators, Of protect
i've tariff and over-production. He said
we should have a tariff high enough to
raise sufficient revenue to run the gov
ernment and then he added we should
raise It so high that II would exclude all
foreign goods. He might have gone fur
ther and said If we did such thing we
would not then secure any revenue at
all. But he did not.

Arises From an Arrest Made ON Spring

While engaged in heated political
discussion at the corner of First and
Spring street at 2 o'clock Monday after
neon, a man giving the name ofIor. Will
liam Ward was arrested and taken to
the police station on charge of OBJ
structing the sidewalk. Through some
misunderstanding, the arrested party
became confused with DR.. William Fl.
Ward who has offices in the Byrne
block and who resides at 1422 South
Flower street.
The alleged obstructor of the sidewalk
was said to have offices on Broadway,
and SO has DIR. William H. Ward.
In justice to the latter gentleman, it
is but fair to say that he has never been
arrested in his life, for even so trivial
an offense, and he must not be con-
founded with the party taken into GUS
tody. The latter appeared in the police
court yesterday and was arraigned, trial
