EXCITED OVER NOTHING

Shortly after - o'clock last night a
man came rushing into the police sta
tion and between gasps for breath man
aged to inform Clerk Gridley that a ter
rible fight or murder was going on or be-
ing committed down near Sonoratown.
He had heard the reports of the guns
and got up out of bed to alarm the offic-
ers. When he found out that it was only
some patriotic Mexicans celebrating
their country's natal day by the dis
charge OF shotguns and anvils he felt
like kicking himself, and departed to re-
sumo his interrupted slumbers.

An Object Lesson.

The gold shipments have increased
recently, and the gold reserve is be-
low s90,00O,000. This Is called the dan
ger point, and bond issue has here
infore been the only remedy for it..
Now, however, there is an election
pending, and the bankers and money
grabbers fear the influence Of q
bond sale at this time. These bank:
ers have combined and offered the
government sufficient gold to tide
the treasury over the campaign
period
There is valuable lesson in this
action. It illustrates as forcibla as
could be desired the control and in.
fluence the money combines have
over the money ct the country. If
this money combine should refuse to
come to the relief of the national
treasury, then bond sale Is neces-
sary. but if they please to assist Tile
treasury over the gulf then the bond
issues can be deferred for a time
Thus the treasury is at the mercy Of
these gold gamblers. They have re-
Gently drawn out the gold in order
to demonstrate to the government its
dependence upon them. They want
to force the recognition of the fact
that they not only have the power to
destroy the financial credit of the gov
eminent, but that they have the power
to restore it. Thus, Wall street is on
top and the government under the
Cleveland gold standard policy, is at
the mercy Of the money gang.-South-
