what Are You Going to do About itg

What Are You Going to do About it9
Mr.. EDITOR -
Tnote in the Revised Statutes of
New Jersey, page 631, section 1, the
following language, "No man shall
marry his wife's daughter. " Does
it mean any thing? Then again on
page 234, section 80, occurs this Ian
guage, "All persons who shall inter
marry within the degrees prohibited
by law, or being related within sucb
degrees, shall together commit for
nication or adultery, shall be ad-
judged to be guilty of incest and a
misdemeanor, and on conviction
thereof, shall be punished by fine
not exceeding $500, Or by imprison-
ment at hard labor, not exceeding
eighteen months, or both, at the dis
cretion of the court before whom
such conviction shall be had" Does
this mean any hing? Does it not
mean that whereas the Bible sees
sin in such intarmarriage, man, in
his wisdom has also concluded that
it is detrimental and has therefore
made it violation of the organic
law, and incorporated it in their
statutes in plain terms, accompanied
by such penalties as violations of
the law seemed to demand. When
this law is openly violated by part
les who move in so called good socie-
ty, as it is right here in Sandys-
ton; where are you going to
place people in the moral scale who
wink at it, or even go so far as to
openly defend it? That such a con-
ditiOn of things should continue to
exist in this community, for two
long years, practically without pro-
| test, seems almost incredible. Has
the moral sense of this community
already become so bluntod that they
do not observe that such criminal
imorality is a menace to purity in
social life, and threatens the disrup-
ton of all that is pure and desirable
in the marriage relation? Surely it
is as direct a stab at the convention
al rules of good society, as it is a
direct violation of statute law. It's
whole influence is demoralizing in
the extreme, and one is led to won
der how long our people will con-
tinue willingly to contribute in this
manner to their own moral degrada-
ton. If an outraged community
moves, only to find the usual avenues
of justice blocked by improper in
fluences, as the only attempt in this
case has been, how long think you
that method can prevail? Not for
long let me assure you. 1t is a
method that only those use who fear
justice, and is just as sure to recoil
upon its authors, as the setting is to
follow the rising of the sun a..

Largest and Most Enthusiastic
Audience in the History of
the City.
PAST AND PRESENT CONDITIONS
Striking Contrasts of the Protective
and Free Trade Systems Of
Government

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, Oct. 8.-Hon. W.
s. Barnes addressed one of the largest
audiences tonight ever assem- bled in the
Opera. house. Fully a third of the seats
were occupied by ladies. Hardlng's band
led the large crowd to the Opera-house
and though not necessary to attract the
crowd, played in front of the building for
a quarter of an hour before the meeting
began.
Mr.. Barnes was introduced to the audi
ence by Hon. Carl E. Lindsay, District
Attorney OF this county, and was accom-
panied on the stage by ex-Assemblyman
Galbraith, president of the Mckinley
Club; Frank Mattison, County Assessor;
L. J. Dake, A. P. Swanton and other lead
ing Republicans. Mr.. Lindsay made
very brief but appropriate speech of intro
duction, alluding to Mr. Barnes as one of
the successful attorneys of the State and
one fully competent to address the people
on the issues of the campaign.
Mr. Barnes read his address, which dealt
with the present condition of the country
under gold standard. with silver used
for the purpose of trade; compared the
condition OF the country as to finance and
production during the last Republican ad-
mnistration and at the present time, and
discussed the effect of the purchasing and
coinage provision of the Sherman act upon
the finances of the country: compared the
Mckinley bill with the Wilson-Gorman
BILL showed the conditions of American
manufactures, labor and farm products
under the Mckinley bill and under the
Wilson German bill reviewed the history
of free coinage experiments and history of
silver-standard countries, comparing them
with the condition of the United States at
the present time, and gave general view
OF his opinion of what the condition of the
country would be In case of the election OF
Bryan and in case of the election of Me-
Kinley.
Mr.. Barnes is accompanied by Walter S.
Blair of his staff. They will return to San
Francisco tomorrow, and on the 18th
inst. go to San Diego, to speak there on the
14th. Thence they will work up the coast,
taking in points between San Diego and
Santa Cruz.

cL0KERDALE'S CITRUS FAIR.
New and Elegant Pavilion to Be Erected to
Make Room for the Many Ex-
hibfs Promised.

CLOVERDALE. CAL, Oct. 8. - Opera
tions will be commenced Immediately for
the erection of magnificent pavilion, to
be used especially for the holding of future
citrus fairs in this city. The fairs OF the
past two years have proved such great
successes that they have outgrown every
large building in town, so ii was seen that
as matter of necessity new building
was needed to accommodate the enlarged
exhibits and incre asing throngs who come
to behold the golden fruits.
About year ago the Cloverdale Citrus
Fair Association was organized and incor-
porated, for the purpose of advancing and
encouraging the citrus interests in this
section. A splendid building site OF nearly
an acre of land in the heart of town was
purchased, and now fine building is to
be erected on it, suitable for citrus fair
purposes, while the surrounding grounds
will be beautified with palm, orange and
other semi-tropical trees and shrubbery.
The board of d.rectors-John Field (presi-
oent) w. Z. Brush, Charles E. Hum bert,
M. Mcmillan and f. w. Bush-met last
night and completed the final arrange
ments for beginning immediate work on
the building, awarding the construction
to George w. Coe, q local contractor.
The dimensions of the building are So
by 120 feet and it will cost about $1,000. 1t
is to be constructed mostly of wood and to
be fni he'd by the time of the holding of
the fifth annual citrus fair, which will be
about the middle of February. Most of
the stock to pay for the construction is
subscribed and that nearly all by citize ms
of Cloverdale and vicinity, although all of
Sonoma County and the adjacent county,
Mendocino, is taking lively interest," in
the project.
This is an important step In the advance
of this county, as it goes to show the in
creasing importance of our citrus indus
try. The orange and lemon crop is look
ing splendid, giving promise of an excel
lent display at the next citrus fair.

TACOMA, WASH, Oct. 8.-The business
men of Tacoma who favor sound money
and good substantial government have or
ganized themselves into a club to further
the interests of Tacoma, the State of
Washington and National Government.
Fully one-third of the hundreds who
have signed the roll gathered in the Doo-
little cIubrooms yesterday afternoon and
elected George II. Stone permanent chair
man and Professor H. B. Dewey perma-
nent secretary, and started the Tacoma
Business Men s Sound-Money Club on the
road to prosperity.
A notable feature of the club is that it is
composed of business men, without dis
tinction OF party. Democrats and Repub-
licans alike are joined in the single pur-
pose of defea ting the election of the tree
silver advocates. The mem bership turned
in mum bers 248. There are upward of
fifty lists still out with an estimated total
OF 500 names more.
Chairman Stone briefly addressed the
club. He said: Il am pleased to meet
these manifestations of interest in the
vital questions of the campaign, and, re-
gardless AT party, TO see the business men
standing shoulder to shoulder TO say to
the people of the United States and the
people of the world that we stand for an
honest dollar and chance to earn it.
''It is no longer question of whether or
not Major Mckinley will be elected, for
news constantly comes to US from the
East of his gaining strength, that con-
fdence is being restored, factories and
mills ere resuming operations and stocks
are advancing.
"This leaves no question regarding the
election of Mckinley and Hobart. But
there is question OF this State of ours
standing with the other States of the
Union. Our interests, our resources de-
mand thatswe decide we will pay our debts
with LOO cents on the dollar"

MONTEREY. CAL, Oct 8.-One of the
greatest Republican rallies ever seen III
this county was held at Bagby's Opera
house on Alvarado street tonight.
Farmers from Carmel and the Toro ar
rived in the afternoon, and the streets were
filled with country folks this evening to
witness the parace and participate in the
rally. The speaking was under the
auspices of the Mckinley Hobart clubs OF
this place and Pacific Grove. Hon. D. Nc
Kinlay of Santa Rosa, the candidate for
Elector, was the principal speaker OF the
evening. Long before The hour for the
speaking to commence the opera-house
was filled and when the speaker of the
evening entered the hall the enthusiasm
was very pronounced.
Men shouted and stamped their feet,
while the ladies, who constituted about
one-third- OF the audience, were content
with the simple waving of their handker-
chiefs. The hall was artistically decorated
with ferns and palms. The stage was fes-
tooned with garlands and cut flowers.
| Just over the speakers stand was large
picture of Major Mckinley and surround
| ing this there were pictures of Lincoln,
Garfield, Arthur and Harrison. The Mon
terey brass band rendered several selec-
tions Just before the speaking commenced.
Captain Thomas G. Lambert was chair
man o. the evening. He made some we'll
| directed remarks in regard to the present
campaign, and dwelt at some length in
eulogizing the speaker of this evening, al
luding to him as one of the most influen-
tial speakers OF this campaign and doing
the Republican cause more good in this
State than any other candidate.
Mr.. McKinlay orened his argument by
assuring the mechanics and laborers OF
Monterey and vicinity that he was one of
them. He dwelt at length on the silver
question and strengthened his argument
by numerous statistics. He consumed
about hour and half, after which sew
eral local speakers gave their views of the
present campaign.

Thomas Ornbauns Mistakes Charles
Hearst for q Deer While Hunting.
UKIAH, CAL, Oct. Sword reached
here to-day from Bonneville of another of
tho ose peculiarly sad accidents which have
unf rtunasely been quite frequent this
summer. Charles Hearst. in company
with Joseph Frye and Thomas Ornbaum,
were out hunting on Feliz Ridge. They
separated, Hearst taking one direction and
the otner two leaving on a trail which
forms crescent leading in straight line
from where the party separated. After
they had been separated for some time
Frye called his companions attention to
what he thought was large buck. Orn-
baum raised uis Winchester and fired, and
both rushed TO where the object had
stood, when they were Mortified to find the
dead body of young Hearst. He had been
shot through the head and was instantly
killed. Hearst was q. the others about 49,
No arrests have been made.
Both young men were highly respected
in the community where they lived, and

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Oct. 8.-The
Army and Navy Repub blican League held a
rousing meeting at their headquarters in
this city this evening and listened to a
brilliant address by that eloquent young
orator, JUdson c. Brusie, Republican NOM
inee for State Senator from this district.
The speaker alluded to the battles of the
Civil War, leading his hearers back to
camp life and conflict on a hundred bat
tiefields, and called upon them to again
rush into the breach formed in the ranks
of the followers of Bryan and uphold
the standard of Mckinley.
During the meeting the Resolutes 100
strong IN full uniform entered the hall in
solid phalanx and loudly cheered the
battle-scared veterans, who responded in
| kind. The Resolutes then marched to the
State Capitol and cheered Secretary of
| State Brown, who appeared and delivered
| very neat speech on the Issues of the
| National campaign, which he declared
would, owing to what he had learned DUR
| ing his recent trip through Eastern States,
undou btedlv result in Mckinley polling
| the largest vote for President ever known.
This brought forth burst after burst of ap-
plause from the ub and the hundreds Of
spectators who had been attracted to the
Capitol Park by the mass OF torches and
the music of the Resolute Drum Corps.
After paradine the principal streets the
club retired to headquarters.
Tomorrow night the uniform rank of
the Assembly clubs will be in evidence in
their natty uniforms OF blue. Member

MERGED, CAL, Oct. S.-Hon. w. w.
Bowers spoke at the pavilion this evening
to one OF the largest audiences that has
greeted any of the political speakers in
Merced during the present campaign.
Long before the time set for the opening
of the meeting the crowds began to gather,
and when Mr.. Bowers rose to speak the
hall was filled almost to its capacity. He
devoteh the first part of his speech to the
financial situation, and stated that the
Republican party was the only friend to
silver. He quo:ed history to prove it. and
outlined his own position on the question.
Mr. Bowers closed with powerful argu-
ment in favor of the protective tariff, which
he showed to be the real issue of the day.

Said They Were the Atlantic
and Pacific Robbers and
in Hard Luck.
ANOTHER COACH IS MISSING.
Last Heard From Wednesday Night
and Has Probably Met the
Same Fate.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. MEX, Oct. g.
The stage from San Antonio to White
Oaks was held up yesterday about forty
five miles east of San Antonio on the east
ern slope of the Oscuro mountains, a few
miles from the station known as Red
Rock. The stage that left White Oaks for
the west yesterday morning and should
have reached San Antonio last night has
not been heard from and is supposed to
have met the same fate. The robbers Sc
cured $50 in money and helped themselves
literally to overcoats and boots. They
told the passengers they were the same
parties who had held up the Atlantic and
Pacific train and excused themselves for
taking articles OF clothing because they
had been playing in hard luck lately-did
not secure anything from the train they
held up and had their leader killed.
After the hold-up the stage went on to
White Oaks and from there it is sixtJ
miles to the nearest telegraph station.
1t seems that while Loomis and party
were searching for the bandits in the
Magellan mountains after the Atlantic
and Pacific hold-up the robbers eluded the
pursuers by changing their course to the
eastward, crossing the Rio Grande little
below Socorro and making across the
country in the direction of the Texas line.
a posse has gone i'll pursuit OF the rob-
bers, though there is but little hope of
finding them. The section in which the
robbery yesterday occurred is one of the
widest anywhere in the Southwest and
with the exception OF two stations main
tanned by the stage company there is not
a human habitation between San Antonio
and White Oaks. 1t is not far from this
place that Colonel A. ]. Fountain and his
son were killed about five months ago
while returning from White Oaks.
