Oakland, Cal. Sept. 2s-From ad-
vices recently received from members
of the Lick observatory eclipse expedi-
ton to Japan, it is anticipated that the
party will arrive here on Friday next.
It's home coming is fraught with much
interest, for several OF its members
met with thrilling adventures.

years. Billiards rolled into tornadoes,

BLOW ATseBRYAN"MONEY.
Capt Porter Forbids Manufacture Ct
Those Campaign Tokens.

Chicago, Sept. 28.-Capt. Porter of the
United States secret service has turned
his attention from theatrical money and
soap dies in imitation of the coin of
the country, and by a single word has
paralyzed the industry of manufacture
ing the gigantic free silver 81 and dime
tokens which are designed to throw
discredit on Bryan money.
Porter says the tokens are dangerous

FALSE Prophets.

It will be useles for the advocates of
a gold standard to further urge that
the business of the country is being
retarded by the silver agitation. The
silver agitation never was more violent
than it IS right now and apparently
the friends of the silver cause were
never so confident of success; yet there
is greater activity in business circles
and a healthier tone in that portion OF
the commercial World embraced within
the United States than there has been
for three years past.
Instead of going into hiding or leav-
ing the country. gold is coming out of
hiding and is flowing into the country.
Neither can present conditions Of
trade and finance be reasonably attri-
buted to the result of the Maine cleo
ton as some have suggested, for the
reason that the improvement had set
in before the Maine election took place
and besides nobody expected the vote
in that state to be greatly different
from what the returns showed.
The bugaboo OF a flight of sold from

something comes in to take its place so

A newspaper that insists on printing
the political news Of only one side, is
like the merchant who refuses to sell
goods only to Democrats or only to Re
publicans; one may admire his zeal
but confound his judgment. A political
organ only wants half the people to
read it's columns; common sense and
business judgment ought to teach it to
reach out after all the people Give all
the news and let the people make up
their own minds. They are able to.

CANDY

Seventy-fve year old c. W. Candy
sat before Judge Hazen Saturday and
tried to keep his wife from securing a
divorce. He is an old soldier and spends
much of his time at the LeavenWorth
home.
He was married in 1891 to Mrs. Mar
tina Barnes. Mr.. Candy is very relig-
ious and he took the contract of re-
forming the wayward daughter Of his
wife. He made a failure and then there
was trouble. He objects to the daugh-
ter living at his place. The couple
quarreIed and separated.
He discussed the question of securing
a divorce with Mrs. Lola Harbert an
other of his stepdaughters, and said he
could get a divorce a the Soldiers
home for $40, but If his wife could get
one here would pay for it If it did not
cost more than SIS This was upon
condition that she would not ask for
any of his property. She did ask for
half the property and now he wants to
defeat the action for divorce.

Lawrence street which are valued at
$500

Police VIII Arrest Wearsrs of OBJ
scene Buttons as Well as Peddlers.
The police department has stopped
the sale of buttons with obscene SEN
fences on them and all persons either
selling them or wearing them will be
arrested on the orders of Chief Gardi-
ner. Yesterday a man from Kansas
City was at Camp Miles Offering for
sale all kinds Of buttons which had
shameless, disgusting sentences on
them He sold a number Of them.
Chief Gardiner heard Of it and he sent
Detective ZelIer there to stop the sale
of them.
The man was warned not to expose
them for sale any more and he prom
ised to stop. It was on this sort of but
tons that the chief of the Kansas City
police stopped the sale. The wording
on them is low and appeals to nothing
but depravity. Chief Gardiner an
nounces that all persons found selling
or wearing these buttons will be ar
rested and prosecuted to the full extent
of the law.

TIE IRRIGATION CONGRESS.

The irrigation congress which will
meet in Great Bend next month should
he attended by as many tillers of the
soil as can afford to go. An artificial
application of water to growing crops
is almost as necessary in eastern Kan
sas as it is in the so-called arid por-
lions of the state and would doubtless
prove fully as profitable.
There is not a season that crops in
eastern Kansas do not suffer from lack
of water at some period. The ability Of
the truck farmer, the gardener and the
fruit grower to apply moisture to his
crops when they need it would not only
add to his income, but would remove
large element of uncertainty from his
business. He should attend the irriga-
ton congress and meet and talk with
practical and experienced iIEigationists
and prepare himself for taking advan-
tage of his superior soil and water ia
cilities to the utmost.
There is no good reason why cabbage
should be shipped into this market from
California and potatoes from Colorado
every year as is now done. These inn
ported products of the soil are all grown
by irrigation and in locality where
the obtaining of water is a much more
expensive matter than it would be
here.
In the vicinity Of San Diego, Cal,
where everything is grown by trriga~
ton and vegetables are much cheaper
than they are here the water by the aid
of which they are produced is piped
from the mountains. sixty miles away.

Although tariff measures have not
oacunied unusual prominence in the
discussions of the present session
of the United states Congress. occa-
siona1 straws have been brought to the
.urfaca from time to time which indi-
cate that the friends of Hawaii have
constantly to he on their guard to pro
tect the commercial interests OF the
country. As recently as the first week
in June an attempt was made to re-
peal the dinerential duty on sugar.
The matter was brought up by Sen
ator Lindsay. but was promptly Ia
bIed bv a vote of 81 to- 16. Probably
ona Of the most important lines of i'm
yastigation from the Hawaiian stand
point taken mp by the members of
Congress Is that undertaken by the
WAYS aud Means Committee on the
reciprocity question. The members of
the committee have been having hear
ings on reciprocity and commercial
treaties. and the clerks of the COM
mittee have been busy getting togeth-
err all manner of data concerning the
operation and effect of those treaties
previously passed by the United States
Government. The report will be vol
luminous one and some 10000 copies
will be printed for distribution. 1t is
very probable that the Republican ma
ioritv of the committee will draw IA
vorable conclusions, and that protec-
ton and reciprocity will be the genera
policy carried out by the next Re-
publican Administration.

where the cycle cops as they are
called are now quite a feature on the
streets of that city. We have the
mounted patrol, but few cycles would
come i'm very handy some day or night
when a patrolman was not available.
Moreover, when a patrolman is sent
anywhere i'm a hurry the clang Of his
horses hoofs pounding on the road
gives ample notice Of his approach,
while bicycle would bear the police
man silently to the spot he might be
required in, before the evil-doers real
lied that the guardian of the law was
at hand.
1t is marvellous how popular cycling
has become away from here. There is
a statement in an exchange that on a
Sunday in New York thirty thousand
were awheel on the boulevard"
The fashion has been growing in Eng
land till it has become a perfect craze.
The Thames, which at this season only
a short year ago was alive with steam
launches, while the banks were lined
with punts, is now practically desert
ed and the former river marines can be
seen careering over the country on

Here the bicycle is still in it's infan-
cy. Though go-ahead enough in some
things. there is tendency to conser-
vatism in others. There are still a
number OF antidluvians who don't
thing it correct for a woman to ride a
bicycle. Their position is analogous to
the savage who, having gone naked all
his life. looks with horror upon the
innovation of shirt and trousers,
which his descendants have been in
duced to wear. These antidiluvians
| had no objection to lady sitting
astride of a horse, but to sit astride OF
a bicycle is quite another thing. They
forget. that sitting astride of horse
was i'm it's day every bit as far ahead OF
the days of billions as the bicycle if
ahead of their views. The day viii

sary part of a woman's equipment as

4 NEW ELECTRIC LIGHT.

The field of electricity is a wide one,
and our knowledge of its power is in
creasing rapidly Edison has just
completed new lamp which is going
to do away with the present incan-
descent light and give us the purest Of
white light at very much reduced
cost.
The "fiuorescent" lamp. as it has been
named is similar to the incandescent
lamp. but is unlike it, in that the whole
globe CLOVIS with a pure white light.
The light is emitted from a metallic
crystal called "tungstate." This crys-
tai, if only slightly rubbed, at once be
gins to glow. Edison has succeeded in
fusfng the crystals into the inside OF a
it is soft enough to hold the crystals.
glass globe, by heating the glass till
it is soft enough to hold the crystals.
Two wires enter the globe at one end,
but do not meet. By means OF an in
| duction current the molecules of the
wire are set in motion and in turn set
| in motion the molecules of air in the
Globe. The air molecules are driven
with inconceivable rapidity against the
crystals of tungstate on the inner side
of the globe, and the continuous com
pact makes them glow. Hence the
new white light.
That the new white light will be ex-
tremely cheap seems certain. In the
! incandescent lamp Edison claims that
only five per cent. Of the electrical
force is turned into light, ninety-fivt
per cent. going into heat. In the for
escent lamp the whole of the electrical
force is turned into light, so that low
amount of electricity only will be need
ed. The amount of light emitted i:
very much greater. A two-candl'
power fuorescent lamp will light ;
room as we'll as a sixteen-candle powe

; This is a practical application o
electricity that will be hailed will

ing is good, but it is expensive. Oliver

lamp is claimed to be, and the days o
the oil lamp are doomed.

SPANISH INTOLERANCE HEREDI-
TARY.

In view of the fierce attacks that are
now being made upon the civilization
or want of civilization of the Spanlard'
q defense of this race that seems SO
steadily set on the downward course
is TO saw the least, not without inter
est. The Mexican Herald maintains
that the Spaniard is not so bad as the
majority of Americans try to make
out. That he has defects is admitted,
but the Herald believes that one
should hardly look for jocosity and
liberality of opinion among a people
who fought for eight centuries against
the Moors.
by the law of heredity the Spaniard
has become serious and disposed to
vehement defense of his opinion. He
comes of a militant race and has some
thing of the soldier in him, whether he
be priest or artisan, merchant or paint
err. His great work was done in main
tanning a bulwark, formidable and not
to be broken down, against the north
ward march of the Moors. Had the
Spaniard been less martial, had he
been of feebIer stuff, less adusto, we
should have had another Turkey in
France and Germany. In word,
Christian civilization would have per
ished from the earth, and civilization
would have taken on another form.
Homogeneous marriage would have
given place to polygamy; womanklnd
would not have been raised to its
present high level, which has been the
work of Christianity, and if, as seems
probable. Mohammedan science had
not within it the germ of progress, we
should have today Europe without
railway or a telegraph, the common
people sunk, as in Morocco, in degen'
Grafton, cruel and degrading punish
ments the rule, and all the squalOr o.
| the degenerate Moor. Perhaps the New
World would not have been discovered
| or. if it had been, the call to prayer
from lofty minarets might today be
heard in Mexicor'
The writer for the Mexican Herald
might also have added that the intol
erance of the Spanish for hberality O
religious opinions drove Christian:
from the country to seek lands where
they might escape torture and the
horrors of the Inquisition. The Span
ish undoubtedly did serve good pur
pose and the world is none the worse
