SENATOR TELLER COMING
He Will Probably Make an Early Visit to the
Coast

Coast
1t Is more than probable that Senator
Teller will make an early visit to the
coast.
Little more than week ago George
w. Baker of San Francisco wrote
letter to Senator Henry NJ Teller re-
questing him to come to California to
open the campaign for the free coinage
of silver some time between the 25th and
S0th Of the current month. Senator Tel
Ter was away at the time the letter
reached his home. and it was opened by
his private secretary, who replied to
Mr.. Baker, informing him of the fact
that the senator was away in the inte-
rior, and adding that Immediately upon
his return the communication of Mr..
Baker would be submitted to him, and
his determination telegraphed to Mr..
Baker.
In speaking Of the matter, Mr.. Baker
said:
"It was our wish to have Senator Tel
Ter with us this month, but that find
is now impossible, as he has eastern en-
gagements which will keep him there
for some time yet. / am confident, how
ever, that he will come to California, and
his first appearance will be the occasion
of the grandest gathering of silver peo-
pie that this state has ever seen. A tel
egram is expected from him any day
informing us whether he will be able to
come to the coast, and fixing the date Of
his departure.
ut is our purpose to have him speak
in five of the cities of the state. These
cities will be San Francisco, Los Angeles,
Oakland, San Jose and Sacramento
1t Is known that the idea of having
Senator Teller come to California was
inspired by the plan of having the prreat
economic issues Of the campaign dis
cussed at the Sacramento state fair
When the matter was mentioned to Mr..
Baker he Immediately offered to furnish
the speaker on the silver question, and
said that he could pledge himself to
bring the Colorado orator to California
and to have him discuss the benefits of
the free coinage of silver at the ratio
of 16 to 1 at the great state fair sympo-

THE SUNSET WILL FOLLOW
Telephone Rates on the Coast Will Prob.
sbly Be Cheaper
The Recent Cut by the Telegraph VIII Be net
by the Long distance Telephone.
An Object Lesson

The field Of reduction on this coast
over which the recently cut rates of the
Western Union Telegraph company ex-
tend embraces many important stations
within the range of the Sunset Tele-
phone and Telegraph company's service,
says the San Francisco Call of Friday.
It is highly probable in fact it is admit
ted, that the Western Union reduction
will be followed by a scaling down of
charges for telephone service in the
same area.
In replying to inquiries on behalf Of the
Call yesterday Louis Glass, manager
of the Sunset company, remarked that
the Western Union and the telephone
company did not enter into direct COM
petition. The written message trans
mitted over the wire was usually the
announcement of definite proposition.
The conversation conducted through the
medium of the telephone frequently re-
lated to matters of negotiation.
AS an emample he said a merchant of
San Francisco might call up Johnson of
Los Angeles and ascertain from the lat
ter If a carload of oranges of certain
grade could be Immediately obtained
and shipped the same day. Johnson
might reply in the affirmative, and the
two would thus close up the business
transaction in two minutes conversa
tion.. Leading firms had a Sunset wire
running to the office, and experts
in this form of communication were
employed.
Mr.. Glass called up Los Angeles to
give the reporter an object lesson. The
long distance did not perceptibly dimin-
ish the distinctness of the conversation.
When Mr.. Glass was asked if the tele-
phone company would meet the reduc-
tion announced by the Western Union
ne said in all probability it would. He
recognized that reduction of rates in
creased the volume of business. He
said further:
I'VE have during the past two years
epended over 100000 on territorial eX
tension outside of cities and towns. Be
tween this city and San Jose we have
fourteen pairs of wires. We have two
complete loops to Los Angeles and from
Santa Barbara to Los Angeles. The
greater the distance is the heavier the
copper wire must be. With copper wire
of sufficient weight direct conversation
between New York and San Francisco
could be maintained. 1t is now conduct
ed directly between Portland, Me-, and
Minneapolis, q distance of 1900 or 1900
miles,"
The wire used between San Francisco
and Los Angeles weighs 500 pounds to
the mile. The poles, placed fifty to the
mile, cost about $40 each. The wire Is
worth 1914 cents per pound. The cost of
setting the poles, etc, brings up the total
cost of construction per mile to $500.
The life of $40 pole is from ten to twelve
years.
In the telephone business the company
Is not bound by the law of liability which
applies to the telegraph service. Us
ually the persons conducting the con-
versation know each others voice. What
is said in the conversation over the wire
is known only to the persons talking

SILVER MEETING AT COVINA
Mr.. George w. Knox of Los Angeles

town of Covina on Friday evening.
There was a large crowd at the meet

MADE FRIENDS WITH EVERYBODY
On account of the deadlock between
L. j. Rose and George S. Patton it took
the Democrats of the Sixth district
long while to make a nomination, but
when they finally reached it, they made
the best nomination on earth. Mr.. Rose
and George S. Patton finally withdrew
and Harry w. Patton was nominated.
From this 1t appears that Los Angeles
Is we'll supplied with Pattons, but it
is out of the question that they should
all be as good men as Harry w. He is
almost as well known here as he is there,
as he was register of the land office some
years ago, and that brought him into
contact with San Diego people that
was always pleasant. Later he has been
allotting agent for Mission Indians, and
that brought him to San Diego again.
AS editor of the Los Angeles Capital he
has made friends with everybody You
can depend upon it, Harry, that San
Diego will vote for you as early and
as often as the law and the Lord will
allow.-San Diego Sun.

1t is said that Bryan is a young man
and therefore 1t is not safe to entrust
the reigns of government into his hands.
Let us appeal to history in behalf of the
young men. Take the great thinkers.

on which he stands as the miehtiest

from the tyranny of French and classic

Alexander was only 21 when he planned
his enterprises, and had won Issus and

Napoleon Bonaparte saved France from

APED YALE STUDENTS.
Some Indiana College Hoodlums
Pounded by Farmer Boys.

Charlottesville, Ind, Sept. 30
Thomas H. Patterson of Denver and
formerly of this place, addressed the
Democracy in this city yesterday, and
it was made the occasion of the biggest
political demonstration Charlottesville
has seen in twelve years. During his
speech a sensational incident occurred
which called forth the severest con-
demnatiOn on a party Of Wabash stu
dents who attempted to ape the Yale
boys who broke up the Bryan meeting.
Thirty students gathered on the out
side of the crowd and started the col
lege yell. which they concluded with
three hearty 'rahs for Mckinley. They
could not be quoted and the speaker
was forced to pause, whereupOn a great
crowd of angry country boys made a
dash for the students. No love is lost
between them anyway, and the farmer
lads saw a golden opportunity to avenge
many fancied Sights.
They took the initiative and there was
precipitated a battle which wagad furi-
ously for a few minutes. The student
body included several nnusclar foot ball
players, and they fought valiantly IN
til overpowered by superior strength
and numbers. when they broke ranks
and ran. The attacking party followed
and a running fight was kept up for
several blocks, one squad of students
being compelled to seek safety at a pri-
vale residence

CHILLY FOR GENERALS.
Run Against Strong Silver Sentiment
in Minnesota

Adrian. Mimi, Sept. 3O.-About 1000
people gathered at the depot this even
ing to meet General Ayers special
train which had on board General 0.
o. Howard, General Sickles, General
AIger and Corporal Tanner
The Republicans hereabouts are
heartily disguised with the demonstra-
ton and the silver men corresponding
ly jubilant.
Generals Howard and Sickles were
the only ones to show themselves, and
the managers of affair wish now that
the train had not stopped. The young
man in charge of the train had the
nerve to ask the crowd to get off the
depot platform and crowd around the
car in the mud. General Howard was
the first speaker. He occupied about
two minutes in a talk about Mckinley s
prospects in November. General Sick
les asked every man, woman and child
in the audience in favor of Mckinley to
hold UP their hands. The response was
far from enthusiastic. When he re-
0uested the Bryan supporters to hold
up their hands cheer after cheer went
UP and it seemed as if almost all the
people present were with the Nebraska
leader.
General Sickles admitted that he was
in a bad crowd, and then the train
moved off with cheers for Bryan and
silver.

The success which has attended To-
pelza's Fall Festival and the presence
of the thousands of people which it has
attracted demonstrates that in order
to get the people together it is not
necessary to collect for exhibition a
lot of live stock, machinery, pumpkins
and big red apples. or provide orators
of national renown- In fact it is an
open question whether or not in the
past this class of attractions has not
merely afforded an excuse for the peo-
pie to get together and have a good
time. What the public demands on
such occasions is amusement, enter
tainment, fun, anything to make it for
get the cares of the workaday world.
Humanity Is gregarious and when peo-
pie start out for a holiday, especially
Kansas people, what they most want to
know is that almost everybody else
will be there.

THEIR BROTHERS KEEPERS

Nobody ever objects to the political
speeches of opposition orators or to the
political editorials of opposition news
papers on his own account. The man
who objects and sometimes carries his
objection to the extent of interrupting
and even insulting the speaker or stop
ping his paper, does so not for himself,
for is he not thoroughly posted regard
ing all the questions at issue?
He does not fear that he will be mis-
led, deceived or converted to the other
side. He is actuated wholly by his in
terest in his poor, ignorant fellow voter,
who does not understand these public
questions, and fears that he may be
turned aside from purpose to vote
just as he has been voting for thirty
years.
If it were not for the fact that so
many people consider it a sacred duty
to look after other peoples politics., any
man could go anywhere and make any
sort of a speech he might choose to
make, providing he could obtain an au-
dience, and be free from interruption.
The experiences which Mr.. Bryan and
Mr. Bourke Cochran have undergone
recently in attempting to address au-
diences which were not entirely in SYM
pathy with them were neither pleasing
to those gentlemen nor creditable to
any body of American citizens.

.sTHE DEVILS MONEY!
Is What a Philadelphia PreacherCalls
SiIvar-Ts Paid Gold.

Philadelphia, Sept. 3O.-At the annual
meeting of the board Of trustees of the
East Baptist church, Hanover street,
the pastor, Rev. C. H. Woolston, an
nounced that in case William J. Bryan
is elected president, he would expect
his salary to be paid in gold, stating at
the same time, Il cannot receive the
devils money for the Lords work.
The trustees agreed with the minister
and decided to grant his request if Bry-
an was victorious. It was further agreed
that all the church bills would be paid
in gold instead of silver. As the church
is composed almost entirely of the la
boring classes, this step has a deep sig
nificance

MRS. M'KINLEY'S HAT.
Wife of the Nominee Chooses a Com

bination of Green and Blue.
Chicago. Sept 30.-AIrs Mckinley has
a new autumn hat. The shape, style,
and color was chosen by Mrs. Mckinley
herself, and the results of her choice are
so happy that hundreds of women are
commencing the little Ohio Woman's
good taste and preparing to go and do
likewise. Mrs. Mckinley has always
had very modest preferences in the
matter of dress, and her costume is US
ually of the neutral, harmonious sort
that does not attract attention. She has
never been a leader of fashion, and
while taking a feminine interest in
dress she never has a large wardrobe
nor a single resplendent frock
This particular hat is of Mrs. McKin-
ley's favorite color, blue. It is some
what of a turban shape, with a very
straw. Dark blue velvet forms the
plain velvet band about the crown.
Although the hat turns up more on one
side than on the other, according to a
little caprice of Mrs. McKinley's, the
sides are trimmed precisely alike.
A high standing rosette of huted
green taffeta ribbon, an exquisite leaf
green shade, is just inside a cluster of
blue and green flowers. The variety
of name of these flowers would battle
a botanist, but they are very pretty
nevertheless, and are the most notice
able part of the hat. At each side they
fit down close to Mrs. McKinley's short
curly locks, and are not unbecoming

A country home for street gam1ns

years OF its establishment it has turned

fuenced to leave paths of idleness and

of 800 acres live these young Americans

Dallas, Sept. SO.-Fully 5000 persons
tried to hear Eugene V. Debs discuss
labor problems last night but not more
than One-third of them could get into
the City hall auditorium and the bal
ance went away disappointed.
Mr.. DebS was not at all Incorporate
in his talk. His utterances were tenn
pered with moderation. He said not a
word Of partisan politics, although fire.
quently called to do so from the audi
ence. He reviewed the Pullman strike
his subsequent imprisonment and the
present condition of labor, which he
pictured as deplora bile. He advocated
the abolition of child labor, the extern
sion of suffrage to women, the fncor-
pOration of the referendum in our cleo
ton system, and the selection OF all Of
f1cials of the government including
members of the supreme court, by a
direct vote of the people.
In an interview he declared the cleo
ton Of Mckinley would be a national
calamity, but said he favored Bryan
and Watson as the presidential ticket.
This does not please local Democratic
leaders, who are bitterly opposed to
Watson because Of the extreme opposi-
ton ne and the Texas Populist leaders
have shown toward Sewau.
