NOTES AND COMMENT

If the free and unlimited coinage of
silver would be a good thing, why is
it that such a policy does not prevail
IN any first-class nation in the world?
-Globe-Democrat. If it is not a good
thing why does the republican party
say it favors an International agree
ment to bring it about?
Some Of the plutocratic papers are
prophesying that Watson will with
draw from the race. There is not the
least bit of danger of that. One of the
many good qualities possessed by Tom
Watson is that Of staying. He has al
ready announced his intention of run
ming through to the end and he can be
relied upon to do SO. Mr.. SeWall is the
logical man to come down.
If the advocates of the free and un-
limited coinage of silver could furnish
a single instance of the success of such
a policy it would be worth more to
their cause than all Of their abundant
and indefinite talking upon. the sub
observation-disclosures. The United
States had free coinage up to 1873 and
when the bankers were not in control
Of the finances Of the country we had
reasonably good times-the more
money the better the times. Now, if
the goldites can furnish a single in
stance Of the success of their policy"
so far AS it affects the producers, ut
would be worth more to their cause
than all their abundant and indefinite
talking on the subject"
We know something about the pop
ulists of the northwest, and, while it
might have suited some Of the so-called
leaders best to have nominated the full
democratic ticket, the boys in the
trenches have no use for Sewall and
are going to support Watson, the nom
inee of the peoples party convention.
They realize, too, that while the south
ern have no personal objection
to Bryan, that supporting the Standard
bearer of their old-time enemies i'm
poses a sacrifice which words cannot
tell. In view of this sacrifice and their
own loyalty to the cause the rank and

tracks. We are not defeated, and we
should never give up. The %unconquer-
able spirit shown by the gallant heroes
of the south, where the hope of the peo-
pies party rests, must inspire all our
hearts. If we will band together like
these invincible men and women we
cannot be driven to the wall.
In the name of all our struggles, our
heroic lights, the miles we have tray

marches we have taken in the dust and
mud; the lives we have lost battling
for an honest count; the songs we have
sung; the VOWS we have taken, the
deeds of glory we have put in history,
let us stand together and march on to
the browning day Of the dawning CEN

of Fatal Results.
During the past four years, a large
number of horses have died. in the
northern part Of this state. from the
ravages of a disease which has bafHed
the skill of veterinarians and l have
been called upon to make Investigations
as to the cause and nature of the NAL
ady, says a Beaver Dam (Wis.) letter to
Garden and Forest. At first 1t was
thought to be anthrax and samples Of
the blood and sections from the spleen
and other internal organs were sent to
the bureau of animal industry and to
Dr.. Russell of the State University for
psychological examination. Numer-
GUS bacteria were found but the bacil-
lus anthrasis was not present. The
horses affected were in the majority of
cases heavy draft horses from the lum-
Der camps. These animals were brought
from the woods in the spring, usually
in good condition, and turned out to
pasture. Most Of them were fed grain
while on pasture. On the farm of
M. c.. F. Reynolds, Hayward, Wis, over
seventy horses have died during the
past four years from this peculiar mall
ady. The pasture contained about 400
acres, 300 acres of which had been
broken and seeded to timothy.
Adjoining this was 100 acres of
"~slashings,' or land from which the
timber had been cut but which had

covered with %golden-rod. On one side
OF the farm is a lake with a clean
gravel bottom and shore. The lake is
fed by springs. There is no marsh or
low land on the farm. Upon investiga-
ton | became convinced that the cause
of the trouble was to be found either
in the food or water and watched the
horses closely for several. days and saw
them eating the golden-rod greedily-
some of them, especially those affected,
seeming to prefer the plant to anything
else. l also visited the farm of Peter
Iruax, near all Clair. There is no
~golden-rod to be found on this farm and
the disease has not made it's appear
ance. During the past summer Mr..
Iruax placed ten horses in pasture near
by where the plant was plentiful and
eight Of them died during the summer
and the remaining two are affected.
When the healthy horses are taken
from the pasture in. the fall the disease
disappears. None of the animals at
tackled by the malady has recovered.
and medicinal treatment does not seem
to produce any beneficial effect. The
appetite remains fairly good during the
entire course Of the disease. Death
takes place in from two weeks to two
months from the onset. I am fully
convinced that this disease is due. either
to some poisonous principle in the plant
or some parasitic fungus upon the sur
lace Of the same. 1t is now too late in
the season for any investigation to be
carried on in this direction this year.
but l intend to have the matter thor
oughly investigated next summer.

WHAT SOCIETY IS DOING

priSed on His Re turn From a
Southern Tour.

One of the most successful and enjoy
able surprise parties OF the season was ten
dered to DIR. Attilio H. Giannini at the
home of his parents, 604 Eilbert street, on
last Friday evening, July 8.
On the evening mentioned the doctor,
who has recently graduated from the
Medical Department of the University
of California, had returned home from
an extended trip through the south,
and instead of being greeted by the mem
bers of the household, as he anticipated,
about forty young friends had Assem- bled
in the large and spacious parlors to join in
the hearty welcome. Professor Devlini's
orchestra, consisting entirely of young
ladies, played some very choice selections,
after which dancing. singing and games
were INDUCED in until midnight, when a
very elaborate super was served.
At the supper table Golden Fox acted as
toast master of the evening. Mr.. Bernard
McEIroy OF Oakland displayed his wit and
eloquence in his response to the toast.
"The Occasion" Frank ]. Burke showed
his poetical taste in delivering a toast
'sTo the Girls while Miss Clara Baker re-
sponded in very charming manner TO the

present:

counties outside San Francisco has raised
the doubt as to the validity of precinct
registration.
Originally this law especially exempted
San Francisco from its provisions, and
San Francisco was then governed by the
special registration act passed for the con-
solidated City and County; but the franz
ers of the new general law eliminated the
clause excepting San Francisco from its
provisions, and this, as competent author
tiles declare, brings the City under the
provisions of the general law. This gen.
eral law says that all registration shall
cease ninety days before the general cleo
ton. The special law governing San
Francisco says that all registration shall
cease fifteen days before the election.
The IroQuois Club has taken the question
before the Supreme Court on msndamus
proceedings. So everything now rests
with the court, from which a decision is
expected daily.
Meanwhile the Republican County Com
mittee is selecting its judges of precinct
registration, and will be ready to watch
the interests of Republican voters should
the court decide in favor of precinct regis
tration.
The only way, however, to avoid the
risk of being disfranchised this singularly
important year is TO go to-day or to-mor-
row to the Registrars office and have your
name recorded there.

The Douglas miner. [volume] (Douglas, Alaska) 1896-1897, 1896-10-21

1t is decidedly within the realms of pos
siblitv that all Alaska will sleep as peace
fully upon the eve of the coming great po-
ltical battle as will the most unaffected or
distant country upon the globe. The inter
est here taken in the outcome of the great
national event is by no means small but it
will not reach anything approaching fe-
yer heat until number of days after the
successful presidential candidate has been
named, and then the arrival of the possibly
overdue steamer from the Sound may be
awaited, principally by anxious office seek
ers, with some great degree of excitement.
Yet the interest taken by the private in
dividual of Alaska in the coming election,
while the result may affect him happily or
otherwise, will not be half 50 great as it
might be under different circumstances.
Were this private Individual to spend
the present month in some large city
in the United States and see each night
long lines of marching men carrying fam
ing torches and waving flags and banners;
the brightly blazing bonfires with flames
shooting skyWard from every corner and
hear midst the roar of distant cannonS the
words of loud-voiced politicians crying
from public squares in praise of their par
tvs platform and of the sanity qualities of
their party'S candidates; and telling how, if
their candidates are but elected the working
man will roll rapidly along the smooth
and level road to prosperity and wealth,
and how the multi-milionaire will slide
gently down from his perch of affluenCe to
the pavement of poverty. He, the Alaskan
individual, might then display more
than passive interest. 1t is the same thing
over and over again, and, even though to
all intents and purposes, the words of the
speaker might be likened to the cries of
some dime museum fakr, who seeks to
draw attention to his beWhiSkered lady, or
that the miles of glittering splendor may
express to the onlooker but little more real
patriotic enthusiasm than would the line
of elephants, gratis and jaclasses which
are paraded through the streets to make
known to the public that the greatest show
on earth has just come to town. Each ano
all of these causes serve to create an inter-
est akin to excitement, and which in far
off Alaska is either happily or unhappily
lacking.

A GRAND SUCCESS.

The first entertainment and dance given
on last Friday EVENING" in Ohmans hall by
the members of the Douglas Amateur ORA
matte Club proved to be one of the best and
most enjoyable events of the kind ever
held in this city. The large hall, which
had been very tastefully decorated in hon
or of the occasion, was com pletely filled
early in the evening with an appreoiative
audience composed of the pleasure loving
people from both sides of the channel.
Bunting of patriotic ooors draped in grace
flu! curves extended along the walls of the
hall and over the stage and along the sides
of the room were red, white and blue
shields, bearing the cheerful word "Wel-
come" in bright gold letters. Brightly
oolored pictures and here and there punches
of spruce and fir had been carefully arrang-
ed by clever hands and the scene was we'll
fitted to please either the spectators of
stirring melodrama or the perhaps more
ardent Worshippers of the pirouetting muse.
The program of the evenings entertain
ment was the neatest little folders
ever printed in Alaska and they were
eagerly sought for and quickly disappeared
as everyone was anxious to obtain these
precious souvenirs.
The entertainment commenced with a
laughable little sketch entitled, "All
Right" Dan Mckay as Michael O'FIan
nigan, Ga would-be actor gained fresh
laurels in this little production and he
proved to the satisfaction of his audience
that as a promising young amateur he
was emphatically call right"
Next in order came overtures. Rotations,
duets and tableaus. The participants in
turn all done exceptionally well. The
recitation by Miss Annie Mccormack was
one of the best performances of the even
ing and is justly deserving of special
mention.
The theatrical part of the program con-
cluieI with frontier meloIrama in two
acts and five scenes, entitled, "The Prairie
Wait" In this production Dan Mckay,
as Slndy Fremont again proved himself to
be "all right" Mrs. A. Mcclellan, in the
character of Mrs. Fremont, acted her diff
cult part splenddly, and portrayed in
realistic manner the typical western wife
and mother. Fanny Fremont, "a chip of
the old block)WaS character which re-
quired some very clever acting and Mrs.
Omer Patton, proved herself to be fully
equal to the occasion. Mrs. Rufus John
son, as Jessie Ma waif) did some very
excellent acting. 0. S. Clark, as hungry
niger and w. B. Clark, as the william
were both characters decidedly we'll por-
rayed. Messrs. J. Egan, and Robert Birch

cess it was. The other performers Miss
King, Mr. Prather and Mr.. Clark did
some acting that was more than creditable
con siderng the very limited time in which
they were permitted to memorize their
lines.
The theatrical part of the evenings en-
tertainment which commenced promptly
at o'clock ended shortly after II. The
room was then cleared of chairs and a row
of benches were placed along the sides of
the hall, and to the excellent music fur
nished by Messrs. Jessie L. Cook and Will
liam Rugg, the flying feet of many merry
couples kept time.
