1T WAS RIDDLED.
Major McCrimmon Proceeds to Show
the Fallacies of the Gold Standard.

In the course of an address delivered
at Banquet hall in this city the other
evening Major Ariosto McCrimmon
vigorously denounced the proposed sin
gle gold standard, and cordially advo-
Gated the adoption of the amendment
favoring woman suffrage. He said:
The effect Of the success of the single
gold standard will be to legalize and per-
petuate many past robberies, and pave
the way for many future robberies.
Every man whose property has been re-
duced In value by the demOnetization
of silver has been robbed. Every man
whose property is kept down in price
by the continuation of that iniquity is
robbed. The 'laborer who by its opera
tion Is deprived of the opportunity of
providing for the wants Of himself and
his loved ones is robbed. And the rob-
Derles tnat nave been consummated in
the past are but as drop in the bottom
of the bucket as compared with the rob-
berries which Will be perpetratea under
this single gold standard system If ever
it is once securely entrenched behind
the bulwarks Of the law. We are not.
as yet, absolutely and entirely upon the
single gold standard basis. AS soon as
the people Of the United States learned
that silver had been denied the right
of coinage at the mints they began agi-
tating in favor of the restoration Of that
right to the white metal. And while their
efforts have not, as yet, been crowned
with complete ami entire success the
partial success which they have achiev-
ed has had much to do with staying the

1873, and under the Sherman law Of
1880, are still legal tender for the pay

REPUBLICAN PARADE.
1t Turned Out in Very Mild Form Last
Night

The Republicans had a parade last
night There We're 524 men and bows in
line The parade, though, was pretty
affair. The Pasadena marching clubs
made it very clever sight. They wore
their handsome uniforms and performed
their clever evolutions in a manner elic-
ting much applause along the line of
march, which was from First street
down Broadway to the pavilion.
The parade had two bands in it, but
people could not be found to carry the
Chinese lanterns on laths that were Of
fered to those who would march in the
line.
There were 120 of the Americus club
of Pasadena and twenty of the Colored
Republican club from the same city in
line. The Young Mems Republican
League. the High school, business COL
iege, the University of Southern Califor-
mia and the Central Mckinley club were
the organizations represented in the pa
rade.
The meeting at the pavilion was at
tended by 1900 people. 1t was not much

MUST BE COUNTED.
An Opinion by Congressman McLach.
Ian When He Was District Attorney.

At the election of 1892 there were
several fusion candidates whose names
were printed twice on the ballot, tally
sheets and returns the same as the un-
ion candidates for electors this year
Fl. c. Dillon had both Democratic and
Populist nominations. The manner of
counting these votes came up before the
board of supervisors and Mr.. McLach-
Ian, then district attorney, filed the fol-
lowing opinion with the board:
Gentlemen: Upon full consderstio
of the protest of r. j. Matlock against
your adding together the vote cast for Fl.
c. Dillon. Peoples Party, and Fl. C. Dill
lon. Democrat, l am of the opinion that
1t is your duty to add together the num-
ber of votes received by Mr.. Dillon from
both of said parties and if the sum ev-
ceeds the number of votes received by
myself or any other candidate for the
same office you should declare Mr. Dill
lon elected to the Office of district at
torney. AS this opinion is against my
own interest, l see no reason why
should not so advise you without the
aid of special counsel as heretofore sug-
gested. Yours respectfully.

The Silver Republican club. under
whose auspices the meeting was held,
has by this means shown it's aptness as
well as its. earnestness in this cause.
This afternoon the Democratic and
Populist party will go down at o'clock
and, no doubt, will reap laurels for them
selves by furnishing such speakers as
Mr.. Utley and Hon. s. A. w. Carver.
There will be a conveyance from the

p. m., and, in fact, the gentlemen who
are going down will feel that they are
among friends. true gentlemen and pa

is done is beautifully and tastily deco

MAKING HIM VOTES.
Vicious Assault of the Times on an
Honorable and Worthy Man.

The villainous attack which the Times
has made upon S. A. Waldron, the un-
ion nominee for the assembly in the
Seventy-fifth district, has only had the
effect Of making many votes for WAL
dron.
Mr.. Waldron is a taxpayer and a rep
representative citizen. He is an earn
est and enthusiastic advocate of silver
coinage and will vote for a silver can
didate for United States Senator. The
Times attack from beginning to end is a
tissue of falsehoods.
The opponent of Mr.. Waldron Is John
Cross, a gentleman, who as a contractor
for public work has the reputation of
paying the lowest wages of any contrac-
tor in the city. Against his integrity
nothing can be said. He is gold stand
ard advocate of the most enthusiastic
type. The district is overwhelmingly
for silver coinage and John Cross would
misrepresent it in the legislature. 1t is
the duty of every advocate of silver in
the Seventy fifth district to vote for S.
A. Waldron.

with much ability and amidst great

NOT uMFRiENpLY 70 SILVIA.

Mr.. Bryan is continually talking Of
the unfriendliness Of the American gov.
ernment TO silver. He even goes 80 far
as to assert that emo silver is being
coined now." Both assertions are as
wide of.the truth as so many Of the boy
takers declarations have been. As q
matter Of fact, this government has not
been unfriendly to silver-rather the
opposite. In seven months Of the pres
emit year there were coined by the gov
ernanent more silver dollars (48. $685.
412) than were coined ($8, 081, 1887 in
the 81 years which elapsed between the
establishment Of our monetary system
In 1893 and what the Bryanites call
''the demonetization Of silver" In 1871
It doesn't look as If the government
were unfriendly to silver when more
silver dollars are coined in these seven
months than in 81 years Furthermore.
since the 80 called "demonetization" Of
1878, no less than 4s0. 790, 041 silver
dollars have been coined. That doesn't
look unfriendly either.

way she has been s'brought up'' the
general appearance Of the farm and
dairy alone from which she was taken
will often give you pretty clear in
sight into the latter.
The advice Of q dairyman is to let
one person do the milking. n they are
kind to the cows. Cows get used to a
mixer, and almost invariably hold up
their milk when new mixer comes.
1t Is claimed too frequent changing of
mixers has ruined many good COW.
Persistant work pays in net profit
and satisfaction. Weeds eat up so
much plant food and drink so much
water in dry time, and yet they can
be kept down cheaply with mower and
smoothing harrow and weeder IL we
use our brains In the way of good man
agement.
No better use Of skim milk than to
feed 1t to poultry, either small or large.
1t should, however, be generally fed in
hot weather as curd; which enables it
to be eaten clean and without waste.
A mixture Of curd and wheat bran is
excellent for hens when moulting, as
both the curd and the bran contain the
nutrition required to grow q new crop
Of feathers.
Cows at pasture are greatly helped
by feeding bran mash morning and
night when giving milk. Good as
grass is it does not furnish the full
proportion Of nitrogenous and mineral
substance that the cow requires to give
the largest Quantity Of milk. and bran
is q better food for this than is grain
or grain meal. Cows that will not eat
corn meal when at pasture will eat and
relish bran mash made with water
heated to blood temperature.

FRUIT AS A MEDICINE.


Why for ages have people ea,sn ap-
pie sauce with their roast goose and
sucking pig? Simply because the acids
and peptones in the fruit assist in d.
gesting the fats 80 abundant In this
kind of food. For the same reason at
the end Of heavy dinner we eat our
cooked fruits, and when we want their
digestive action even more developed
We take them after dinner In their
natural uncooked state as dessert. In
the past ages instinct has taught men
to do this; to-day science tells Us that
fruit should be eaten as an aid to di-
gestion of other foods much more than
it is now. Cultivated fruits, such as
apples, pears, cherries, strawberries,
grapes. etc., contain on analysis very
similar proportions Of the same ingred-
tents, which are about one per cent Of
malice and other acids, and one per
Of flesh forming albuminoids, with
over eighty per cent Of water.
Digestion depends upon the action
of pepsin in the stomach. Fats are di-
gested by these acids and the bile from
the liver. Now, the acids and pep
tones in fruit peculiarly assist the
acids of the stomach. Only lately even
royalty has been taking lemon juice in
tea instead of sugar, and lemon juice
has been prescribed largely by physi-
clans to help weak digestion, simply
because these acids exist very abund-
antly In the lemon.

No Glass Distinction.

In America we spurn all class distino-
tions. We are all equal citizens-equal
in privileges and opportunity. In
America, thank God. no man is born to
power. None is assured of station or
command except by his own worth or
usefulness. But to any post Of honor
all who choose may aspire, and history
has proved that the humblest in youth
are frequently the most honored and
powerful in the maturity Of strength
and age. It has been long demonstrated
that the philosophy Of Jefferson is true,
and that this, the land Of the free and
self governed, is the strongest as well
as the best government in the world.
Let us keep it sound.-William McKin-
ley III Spcet h to Laboring Men.
