Point Pleasant is now in the
throes of the organization of differ
-ent political clubs. Organization
is now one of the strong features
of the Democratic party in this
county, and it will do moro good
than all the campaign documents
distributed. When men meet and
are enabled to reason and debate
together some good comes of it as
a usual thing. The coming cam
paign will see the organization of
both parties stronger than ever
before.

President Andrews, of Brown
University, who is regarded as one
of the ablest thinkers and writers
on all questions of political
economy, recently had the follow
ing to say concerning the money
question:
"Never since slavery days has
the press in the parts of the coun-
try familiar to me displayed such
Disregard for truth and such stub
born obtuseness to the most OBJ
vious considerations as it does at
present on tho silver question.
This means the Money Power
seated in London, but with repre-
sentatives in New York, Philadel-
phia and Chicago, is determined
to continue the appreciation of
gold and determined, therefore,
that its acts shall not be known.
The bankers and the press are al
most entirely under its influence.
81 think the money question at
the present time the great ques-
ton of civilization"

In spite of the fact that stand
ard time is the legal time and has
been the legal time for several
years, there is large class of peo-
pie who still insist on going by
sun time. Such people seem to
think that sun time is absolutely
correct time, when it is really cor
rect only a few days in the year.
If everybody would go by stand

care SO much for correct time
would be about as nearly correct
with standard time. Our methods

The great free silver champion
of Pennsylvania, Hon. Joseph @.
Sibley, in speech at Newcastle,
in that State used the following
language:
81 want to say that with the res
toration of bimetalism by the
United States through independ-
ent action, while there may be a
temporary premium on gold, it will
not be large premium, nor of
long duration. The fear that this
would be the dumping grounds for
all the silver of the world is simply
groundless and no man of sense
believes that statement.
"The United States holds in her
own treasury the largest single
stock of silver bars in the world,
and when we take into considen-
ton that there are no nations in
the world that have more silver
money than they have need for in
their actual daily business trans
actions, we should be willing to
take the cry of demand and let it
rest.
"Mr. Carlisle in his Memphis
speech stated that the opening Of
our mints to free coinage would
certainly bring a panic. [ have
given this money problem n great
deal of study, and L challenge Mr..
Carlisle or any other economist to
show me wherever in the worlds
history with an increased volume
of full legal tender value there ever
occurred panic.
"The continuous define in values
must sooner or later be arrested.
For three years we have been
dwelling under gold recommendation,
and it's fruits have been bitter and
the experience costly, and yet /
cannot bring myself to believe that
we have seen the worst.

Whaley is good citizen, and n

boldly for the people, Bryan, Sewall

Republican, an intelligent and
thinking man. Mr.. Wegner, one
of the Secretaries, isanother former
Republican, who declares for the
cause of the masses-free silver and
prosperity.
A number of Republicans have
joined tho club. 1t bids fair to
become large and influential club.

Property Hitherto Undervalued

Members of the Grand Jury are exceed
ingly reticent concerning the proposed in
vestigation of the Assessors office. 1t is
acknowledged that Mr.. Siebe. the Assessor,
has in the service of his department many
capable and experienced men, and it is
also limited that "there are Others" con-
sensus of interviews with jurors is to the
effect that the Assessor is performing his
duty and has invited the assistance of the
Grand Jury to point out methods by which
fair valuation OF all taxable property may
be reached.
The Grand Jury regrets that any news
paper comment about affairs of the AS
SCISSORS office should have been N ade.
One of the jurors said: ut is true that
we are in possession of certain data or in
formation regarding assessments, but the
fact still remains that capitalist can, the

his money on hand put that money into

Tennis Championship Wrested
From Berkeley After
Two Years.
A LONG CONTEST AND CLOSE.
Freeman and Picher Win From

ami Doubles.

Stanford University won the Pacific
Coast intercollegiate tennis championship
yesterday from the University of Cali
fornia, which had held it for the last two
years.
The match was played on the California
Iennls Clubs court, corner of Bush and
Scott streets, in this City.
Each university was represented by only
two men, who were to play both the first
and the second class singles and the dou-
bles
Califorlias representatives were Magee
and Gage. the two men who successfully
defended the championship last year.

two men to play both matches and entered
Freeman and Picher, Pasadena boys, who
have long played the game together, and
who are at present doubles champions of
Southern California. having won the title
at the Santa Monica tournament last sum-
mer.
Freeman, Stanford's best player, was
pit ted against Magee, the Berkeley cham
plon, and the contest that resulted, COM
bining two very different styles of play,
was unusually close, Freeman winning
three sets to Magee's two, the scores of the
RaileS com posing me sets standing %,
E6, Cd. 6-1, rs.
In the second-class singles Picher and
Gage were matched. Picher won three
sets to his opponents one, the score result
ing 7-5, Ga 4-6, Ct
At the conclusion of the singles in Stan
ford's favor the Berkeley team decided to
concede victory in the bles, and that
match went to Stanford by default.
1t was then 1 o'clock. The men had
been playing constantly for two and half
hours, and Magee felt indisposed, although
the other players were com paratively fresh
after their long exertions. Freeman and
Magee had played forty-six games; eigh-
teen were long deuce contests and but four
were love, Freeman taking three of them.
Plcher and Gage had played forty-tw o
games, twelve deuce and nine love, Picher
having five of the nine to his credit.
Both single matches were played at the
same time on adjoining courts.

and Magee seemed 10 go to the Berkeley

Another important piece OF news Is
that President Ernst Schmidt OF Samoa,
who is also advis er to King Malietoa, has
forwarded his resi- gnation to the German
Foreign Office. He was appointed for
three years, and his term does not expire
till January l, but he hopes to have the
resignation accepted so he can go back in
November. OF course England and Amer
ica will be requested to concur in the resig-
nation. He has been criticized very
harshly but don't think he deserved 1T.
"The Samoans are very quiet, although
Tamassese, the opponent of King NAL
ietoa, collects the taxes in the districts of
Aana and Atua. The President and ad-
wiser of Malietoa has not been able to pre-
vent this.
"By the terms of the Berlin treaty
America, England and Germany agreed to
keep warships there all the time, but
America has not had a warshlp there for
three years.
No interest has been shown by America
in the islands during that time. The i'm
preston there is that America no longer
cares, as she did prior to three years ago.
This being the case, it is hard for President
Smith TO make Tamasse5e quit collecting
taxes. He can't do it. He does the best
he can.
Eyes, America has had the coaling sta
ticn of Pango Pango, but don't think she
will get it the way things now are. When
Germany annexes the islands, as am sure
she will. she will take the whole thing.
America has not complied with the
terms of the treaty, and csn say any
thing. What about England2 Well, |
don't think she will have anything to say
about it either. The fact is the interests
there are pretty near all German, and Ger
many by right ought to have Samoa. l
think she will soon take the whole thing.
"The way England has acted recently IN
the Jameson raid matter in South Africa,
and in its general opposition to President
Kruger. has widened the breach between
Germany and England. l don't think the
Germans would care what England might
say. She would take Samoa anyway.
"By the way, DIR. Rose. the new German
Consul-General for Samoa, has arrived at
Apia. He was previously Governor of
German New Guinea. He is the successor
of DR.. Schmidt-Leda, who has returned to
Y Yokohama as Consul-General, to look out
for the German interests there. He was
very much liked among all the people of
Samoa"
Mr.. Ahrens expects to remain for two
years in this country. Before he went to
Samoa he was for several years in different
parts of New Guinea.
