Nac and His Horses

MODESTO, March l3.-"White Hat" Nc
Carthy returned today from the Canty
ranch, where he went to look after his
starving horses. Mccarthy says he put
2aA horses, costing from $500 to $4,000
each in Canty S pasture. Today he found
thirty-four dead and three on the ground,
just alive. Among the latter was Crescent,
one of the most valuable of the lot. Nc
Cartby gave the animals food and water,
and says that Canty has agreed to feed
them. Some of the stock belongs to Joe
Mccarthy, and white Hat says he will
surely prosecute Canty. McCarthy's trial
for cruelty to animals has not yet been set.
He says he has $500, 900 invested in the
horses.

wards selling the blend, or even IL he dis
tills what he buys, afterwards selling the
brandy. he is liable for the Wholesale tax.
The revenue authorities have nothing to
say abou: the matter except that they in.
tend to collect Wholesale liquor dealers
taxes from every winemaker they can find
who has bought any of his neighbors' wines
during the period of the last five days.
The whole point seems to hinge on the
question: At what point is wine completed
in it's production? The revenue authori-
ties claim that it is completed the minute
the fermentation is over; the winemakers,
that the operation of wine making is COM
pleted as soon as the wine is in fit condi-
ton to be placed upon the market.
Some interesting developments are ex-
pected in the course of few days. when
the examination of the books of the win
cries of Sonona. and particularly of San
joaquin, county is begun.

DUNLAP DECLINES

Kentucky

Wntcn treaty PrOVOkes the Republicans OF
Kentucky
CINCINNATT, o., March 13.-The Com.
mercial Gazette's special from Frankfort
says: Wood Dunlap refused to be sworn in
today, though earnestly solicited by Re.
publicans.
The Democrats are proposing COM
promise measures. This work was begun
by Senator Stevens offering motion to re-
consider the action of the senate in ex-
pelling Senators James and Walton.
President Worthinpton. however, will not
entertain such proceedings, as he holds
that James and Walton, having been ex-
PEELED after adjournment, are still mem
bers of the senate. because the action ex-
pelling them was illegal and of no force.
1t is believed that the Democrats will de-
fer this attempt to reinstate James and
Walton until the last day of the session.
1t is believed by Republicans that with the
help of Dunlap, Boyle can be elected sena-
tor. His refusal to qualify provokes as
we'll as mystifies them.

A Shekc.Up Among Wine Makers Who Buy
for Blending
SAN FRANCISCO, March l3.-Durng the
past few days there has been a general up.
heaval among those wine makers OF the
state who, during The past three or four
years, have made practice of buying the
wines of their neighbors either for distilla-
ton or blending before dlsposng of them
finally to their customers.
The special agents of the internal reve-
nue. department have been canvassing
among the wineries and examining the
books of the wine makers to ascertain to
what extent this practice has been carried
on. and in number of instances they have
been collecting internal revenue taxes from
those wine makers as wholesale liquor
dealers and collecting back taxes even for
a period of four or five years.
The internal revenue tax for wholesale
liquor dealers is 500 per annum, while
winemakers, who sell their own products
only, are exempt from this tax. The reve-
nue. authorities claim that if any wine
maker buys wine from his neiehbor and
blends it with his own production, after

Thinks People Are neid PRISONERS Under the
Earth
Wandering around Alameda street near
Ferguson alley, Officer Schuhausen at mid.
night found Alice Bonner. She thought
some man or men were under the ground
and were held there by the power of a
Cherokee Indian woman. who would have
to be mesmerized before she would allow
her prisoners to escape. She could hear
the buried victims calling to her, and
wanted gun SO she could kill the one
responsible for their condition. Tyndali
was also buried and wanted to get out.
She stated that Jim Corbett had just won
a great fight through her instrumentality
as she had kept her fists clenched and
thereby assured his success.
From the looks of her hands she had
been digging in the dirt to find the buried
persons. and her whole manner was rest
less and unsettled. Officer Robbins
brought her to the county Jail and placed
her in confinement for the night.

receipt of your letter, and i'm answer TO
your question therein contained, to say
that there is no statute or practice OF
this department under which any OF the
standard silver dollars coined by this
government can be converted into gold
at the Treasury"
on July l. 1896. Secretary Carlisle issued
Circular 123, which says on page IL:
Neither silver certificates nor silver
dollars are redeemed in gold" and on
page y: Gold coin and standard silver
dollars, being standard coins of the
United States. are not redeemable."
Still you will hear gold men ignorantly
arguing that the reason a silver dollar
is worth 100 cents (wihile the silver in it
is worth only SO cents) is because it
can be redeemed in gold at the United
States Treasury. Braying a gold-bug in
a mortar is time lost.

TWO DAINTY DEMOCRATS.

Following the announcement that
President Cleveland will not vote at the
coming election. we are told that Mr..
Carlisle Will pursue a like course of al
legged neutrality. Carlisle thus becomes
more than ever Clevelands "Me-too."
But 1t is a pretty cheeky thing on the
part of these two promoters Of the In
dlanapois convention to "go back upon
Palmer and Buckner as well as upon
Bryan and Sewall. Can't they be salts
fed? Can't they find any ticket to suit
them? Well really. they are dainty De-
mocrats But If these leaders are not
going to vote. why should the other
boilers take the trouble to do so? II the
leaders are going to stay at home, why
should the rank and file rush to the
charge? 1t looks nightly as IL Cleveland
and Carlisle, having led their friends TO
the edge Of a bog. were going to leave
them there to perish, and seek safety for
themselves
Palmer and Bnckner's loss we most
deeply feel, but Bryan and Sewall can
stand it. We have no great hopes OF
carrying New York, and Kentucky, we
feel sure. is safe for us.

JuDGE TO ASSIST VOTER.

Under the Walton law there was spe-
cial constable appointed, whose duty II
was to assist illiterate or physically dis
abled voters to prepare their ballots. The
Legislature at it's last session abolished
that feature of the law. Hereafter one
of the judges of election, to be designated
by the judges themselves, must perform
this duty. That part Of the SECTION OF
the law bearing upon this question reads
as follows:
az The judges Of election. or a ma
jority of them. shall appoint and designate
enc of their number whose duty IL
shall be- at the request Of any
elector who may be physically or edu-
cationaly unable to prepare his ballot,
TO enter the booth with said elector' ana
render him assistance in preparing MS
ballot" &c, &c, &c.
There was a proposition before the last
Legislature TO give the voter the right
to select the judge to prepare his ballot
but it was voted down and the foregoing
provision adopted.

She walks in a lonely garden
on the path her feet have made,
With high-heeled shoes, gold-buckled.
And gown Of a Powered brocade;
The hair that falls on her shoulders,
HaIf-held with a ribbon tie,
Once glowed like the wheat in autumn,
Now gray as winter sky
Time marks with no gentle fingers
Her forehead, pensive and low;
And her mind, like a golden timepiece,
He stopped forty years ago.
At the foot of the lonely garden,
When she comes to the trysting-place
She knew of old. there she fingers
With a blush on her withered face.
The children out on the common

PRESIDENT INGALLS,.

Thu Times commends 10 the Dispatch
certain extracts from the speech OF fres'
dent NJ. Il. Ingalls,. made at Cincinnati
IN rotation TO the coercion of corporation
empIoyees. Well. we have read them.
We find that Mr.. ingalls, talks beanthuiy'
but we have every reason TO suspect tha'
he was 'wlnking the other eye all the
time that he was "honcying' his em-
ployees.
President ingalls,, we believe, Is the
head and front Of the coalition organized
70 destroy the Democratic party OF Nir-
ginia. We suspect that he has been the
means OF collecting a large campaign
fund for them. We know that while al
fecting to be Democrat he Is going TO
vote for Mckinley. There is good reason
to believe. also. that he well knows that
a movement Is now on foot by which
every corporation employee In Virginia
will be compelled TO disclose upon oath
for whom he voted. He may not know
but we now tell him that there Is an eA-
press law in Virginia against this covert
attack upon the secrecy of the ballot, ana
that IL will be rigidly enforced
When we read what Mr.. Iagalls says
about 5O-cent dollar we cannot but
smile. We shall not be so impolte as TO
say that Mr.. ingalls, cannot believe IN
5c-cent dollar, but we do say that If that
is his belief he is not the great fnancier
the public credits him with being. AS
soon as Bryan is elected, the Astors'
Goulds, Vanderbilts. Drexels, Morgans
Pullmans. Rockefellers, Armours, &c.
will do as much to bolster up silver as
they are now doing to pull it down. ana

anything.
why, If men generally believed in the
JO-cent dollar there would be such run
by depositors upon banks as never was
before seen in all the history Of the
world. Depositors would rush to get their
money out and would put it into gold
or stocks, bonds. real estate wheat
corn, cotton, bricks. lumber-into any
thing which could not be expected to de-
preciate 80 per cent in the event oil
Bryan's election. No. the people do not
believe in a 50-cent dollar. II Is an IN
thinkable thing that lesal-tender doliai
issued by this great country should be
so deprecated.
We note also. that Mr.. ingalls, Is nor
ror-stricken at the idea that corpora
ton employee should promise or pretenu
to vote one way and should go into the
booth and vote another; but probably ME-
, ingalls, does not know that there is nlsh
Richmond authority for doing that very
thing. Hundreds of the Boilers here are
men who went into the city primary eiec-
ton under the distinct pledge that they
would support our party's nominees II
they have the right to vote for Mckinley
why haven't the coerced corporation EN-
ployees the right to vote for Bryan? why

be said that Virginia guaranteed liee
ballot to a corporation employee. Never
more would there be free ballot In VIZ

Every man who votes for Mckinley or
Palmer is to be asked by coalition COM

i'm part, at least. TO put corporation en-
pioyees on oath to disclose how they
vote. True. 1t is said that the purpose
of the plan is TO prevent frauds IN the
election. but we may successfully chal-
lenee the candor of any such statement
because we know that the scheme Will
perpetrate rather than prevent fraud.
1t is well known that corporation en-
ployers. Notwithstanding the fact That
they have organized many sound
money clubs among their employees
fear their employees will go to
the polls and vote for Bryan
For our part, we have no doubt at all
that four out OF five of such employees
would do so II not prevented by some
such dodge as that contemplated. Now
the question is, VIII the Palmer men,
who desire to be called Democrats. stand
still and silent whilst this attempt is
made TO extort Mckinley votes from
Bryan men? Is a so-called preventive
against fraud to be made machine TO

enough for a Democrat to quit his party
but to turn upon and attempt to rend
that organization, by means the most
questionable, is outrageous. Every Dem
ocrat who quilted his brother-Democrats
upon the free coinage issue, and who Is
sincere in his professions Of Democracy
ought to join us in invoking the law to
break up the affidavit conspiracy. We
appeal to them to do so. We hope they
viii do so.
And the authorities in each city and
county ought also TO look into the mat
ter and prepare to avert the great wrong
meditated by our enemies-a wrong all
the more cruel and exasperating because
it proceeds from a coalition, which, under
the cloak of honest elections" would
take away from corporation employees
the right to vote as they please.
