anu L dii Inclllcu 10 Tue opinion
that the authors of this circular
are no exception to the rule, and
will be so treated 10y every self
respected man.
If these ounces think they can
change single vote by such rot,
they are to be pitied rather than
censured. Just about all the eff
feet said circular is producing up
here, is to give our people good
opportunity to work off some of
their good humor in a hearty
laugh at the folly of such simple
tons.
1t seems to me that when the
average old party politician can
find nothing more damaging against
the opposition to use as politics
thunder than that the opposition is
telling the truth, he is, with his
party, hanging on very low
limb with nothing but stall holt"
and that in an uncertain condition.
To sum the whole thing up in a
nutshell, the Democrats have got q
gigantic piece of stealing to do if
they are to be continued in Office,
and they are trying to pave the
way by pretending to use argu-
ments to change the minds of the
people. These little lodges will
be followed up with reports in the
old party press that the people are
just fairly falling over each other
with their desire to get back into
the ''grand old democratic party"
The fms will be an attempt to
count everything in and out of
sight for the candidates of that
"grand" old party. AT this juno
ture the fun will begin, and some
of our blooming ward heelers are
going to ''wush they was to hum,"
or some other friendly locality.
The people are thoroughly pre-
pared for such a crisis. The peo-
pie are weary of being monkey
ed" with by men who should be
wearing stripes instead of contama-
mating society with their polluted
association, and the time has come
to emphasize their objections to
such a regime, which they are sure
to do on the 21st of April. The
same men who exterminated car
pet-taggery in this State will crush
out ballot-box stuffing. If the
Foster gang Lave any doubts on
this line, they will be relieved of
these doubts in short order if they
try to thwart the will of the peo-
pie by their old practices.
One of the ward h~elers of this
ward has already remarked that he
would rule the ballot box with his
gun He is a coward and did not
mean anything he said, for he
knows full well, that if he were to
make such play that there would
not be a greasy spot lett of him
within two minutes after the ball
opened. Let him try that game if
he feels so disposed. If we must
fight for our liberties, let it come !;
the sooner the better for mankind.

eral at Vienna. He says: mo election
since the late civil war aroused so much
interest in Europe as this last cam
paign. Austrian business men claim
that Bryan's defeat will have satisfac-
tory effect on the international trade re-
lations. There is no doubt that Bryan's
election would have destroyed in Europe
all confidence and credit of the United
States as a nation.
I'm Austria especially, people look
upon Mr.. Mckinley as the incarnation
of the prohibiting tariff. They do not
seem to realize that our public men
learn something by experience. All that
is now necessary to make this splendid
victory complete and lasting is to have
the next congress meet as soon is pos
sible, redeem all our bank notes issued
by the national government, |. e., to take
the government out of the banking busi-
ness entirely. and thus reform our mis-
chievous form of currency.
IF this is brought about. we are not
apt to have in the future the silver agi-
tation."

TRANSVAAL AFFAIRS.
Kruger Assures The Burghers That No
Trouble Threatens.

PRETORIA, Nov. 2S.-At banquet
here yesterday evening President Kru-
ger declared that the rumors of impend-
ing trouble We're untrue, and that they
had been spread by speculators All
was clear, he added. The London con-
vention assured the independence of the
Transvaal, and If change was desr-
able he would see that it was arranged
constftutionally.
Referring to the delay Off the Trans
vaal government in claiming an indem.
nifty from the British South Africa COM
pany in consequence of the Jamisor
raid, President Kruger said that the de-
lay arose from the desire not to make an
excessive demand and because the ex-
pense was not computed. He rldi-
culed the idea that an invasion of
Rhodesia was proposed, and assured
his hearers that the mining interests Of
the country would be fostered.

The result of the election in the United
States has brought windfall to the
town of Speyer in the shape Of dona-
tion of $35, 900 from Henry Willard. The
pastor of that place has recently been
trying to obtain subscriptions to fund
with which to establish sick children's
hospital, and Mr.. Willard was ap-
preached during his recent stay here.
He promised If Mckinley won, he would
give the whole sum required. This prom
ise has been kept, and the foundation
stone of the new hospital will be laid
next spring.
During his visit to Kiel this week the
emperor went on board the new war;
ship Aegir, and his majesty took one of
the regular noon rations of the blue
Jackets, and ate the whole of it, consist
ing of ham, cabbage and potatoes, out of
a tin vessel
The present sugar bounty has met the
disapproval of all sugar manufacturers
of the empire, an da committee has been
appointed with instructions to endeavor
to get the bill altered in the reichstag.
The association of raw sugar manufac-
turers has been pronounced in favor of
the projected raw sugar trust of the en-
pire.
The German press is rapidly veering
around in it's opinion of the results of
the recent election in the United States.
The Liberal papers are expressing in
creasing fears of unfavorable tariff leg
iSlatiOn and a more vigorous foreign
policy
The Federation of German Bimetal-
lists has issued a statement expressing
the belief that McKinleys election
means the furtherance OF International
bimetallism and adding that they are
relying on the Republican party to pro-
mote these ends according to the pledges
in it's platform.
From the reichstag budget it appears
the deficit iii the accounts of the colonial
marks, whereof West Africa shows a
deficit of 2,69O,0O0 marks.
The government has begun to enforce
the administrative mea)ure to stop
Polish agitation in the eastern provinces
of Prussia, including the discharge of
all non-German speaking employees on
the Silesian and Posen railroads and the
Germanization Of all Polish names Of
towns and villages.
The executive of the Berlin Industrial
exposition has called for subscriptions
to guarantee fund to recoup the pre-
liminary deficit of 1350,00O marks. The
entire deficit will not fall short of 2,O0O,-
900 marks.

BERLIN, Nov. %. Copyright. 1860
The revelations of the Ham burger Mach
richten will not, after all, be allowed to
pass without judicial inquiry. The
Frankfurter Zeitung today carried out
its threat and denounced the Hamburger
Nachrichten before the states attorney
for high treason, and the Koenigsberg
Zetung did the same. Both actions are
due to these two newspapers being pros
ecuted by the government for indiscreet-
ly publishing state news.
There is little doubt now that a par
liamentary conflict will occur during
this session of the reichstag over the ma
val budget. The government organs
have hitherto denied that large in
crease in the navy was intended, and
the figures of the naval budget were SO
juggled that II looked as though the
government demand was not in excess
OF those of former years. A searching
analysis, however, reveals the fact that
the reichstag is really asked to sanction
an increase Of about 200 900, 900 marks.
The bill asks that this years expendi-
lures be increased 60 000, 90 marks, and the
matter is so arranged as to necessitate
an additional expenditure Of 100000
marks during each Of the next two
years. These sums are not entirely for
the building Of new vessels, but are also
intended to provide for the expenses of
manning them. In parliamentary cir
cles it is believed htat the naval ex-
penditures of the next five years will be
tn6e
cedes to the present demands.
Emperor William speaking recently
OF Admiral Won Holman, secretary of
the navy, is reported to have said: THE
question of bringing Sse German navy
60 the point of being reallv formidable,
not only for defense, but for aggression,
is one of life or death of the nation, in
asmuch as 1t involves gross achtstel-
lung of Germany as much as the state
army does. and whoever loves the faith
erlard will help me bring 1t about, as the
German navy is at present wholly mad
equate for its mission in the future"
This imperial utterance is now circu-
lating in reichstag circles, and is much
commented upon. 1t Is certain no ma
jority will be found in the reichstag for
these projects. The Centrists and the
entire Radical wing are against them,
which gives an adverse majority of
about twenty.
During the week the government en-
ployes of the naval department have re-
peatedly hinted in conversation with the
deputies that the rejection Of the naval
schemie means the dissolving Of the
reichstag.
In the diet the government. through
DR.. Miguel, the minister of finance, is
asking for the passage Of a bill to en-
able it to use the yearly surplus, which
this year is over 100000 OGO marks, in or
der to cover deficiencies in any particu-
lar department, or to utilize it as a con-
tingent fund in the future. The Liberals
and Radicals are fighting this proposal
as curtailment of parliamentary privi-
leges and fraught with danger to the in
otitutious Of the kingdom. It II believed,

SAN FRANCISCO SCHOOLS

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2S.-The
bard Of education held a special meet
ing today and decided to open on Tues
day the three schools which were closed
by the board Of health. The health de-
partment had demanded that new sys-
tenn Of plumbing be placed In three
schools. and until this was done these
schools must not be opened. The school
directors disagree with the doctors and
will disregard their orders. The school
directors deny that there is an epidemic
of diphtheria in the city. and say that
with few repairs the schools will be in
good sanitary condition.

Still Desires Annexation to the
Union
HATCH DECLINED TO TALK
Referring the Interviewer to Legislative
Resolutions
Pending the Session of the Legislature
the President Has Ample Power to
Reopen Negotiations.
Associated Press Special Wire


WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-Francis M.
Hatch, the representative from Hawaii
to the United States, has returned to
the city afer a long absence. The min
lister was asked for an interview on the
projects of a renewal during the incom-
ing administration of steps looking to
annexation of Hawaii to the United
States. Mr.. Hatch declined to talk
on the subject, but referred his ques-
toner to the following resolution, passed
by the legislature of Hawaii in May last
as showing the attitude of his govern
ment on the subject:
Resolved, by the senate and house of
representatives that the legislature OF
the republic of Hawaii continues to be,
as heretofore, firmly and steadfastly in
favor of the annexation of the Hawaiian
islands to the United States Of Ameri-
ca; and I'm advocating such policy, they
feel assured that they are expressing g
not only their own sentiments. but those
of the voters of the republic"
In this connection, it will be recalled
that lust before the close of the last
administration, secretary of state Fos-
ter neotiated a treaty with the COM
mission from Hawaii for the annexation
of that country to the United States 1t
was sent to the senate by President Har-
rison, but was not acted upon during his
administration. After President Cleve-
land came into Office and before the
senate had disposed of the treaty the
former withdrew it. The document not
having been ratified by this government
nothing was done by the Hawaiians.
The legislature Of Hawaii will not
meet again for some time.
1t is understood, however, that the
president Of that country has the power
should he deem it expedient at any time,
to reopen negotiations with the United
States on a treaty looking to annexa-
ton.
No information is obtainable at the
legation respecting the recent action
Of the Hawaiian government in regard
to the proposition for certain extensions
of the concessions granted to Col. Spaul-
ding in regard to a Pacific cable. The
Hawaiians, Minister Hatch says, are
larly between the United States and
HAWAI-, AHQ DIS dIl eN1ueHCe OI tlcl-
desire, have offered a subsidy of $40,
90 year toward the maintenance of the
latter, which is regarded as a large
amount when coming from such small
country. The concession originally
granted to Col. Spaulding, it appears,
gave him an exclusive franchise for
twenty years, provided he obtained aid
from his government within eighteen
months after the date of the concession.
The time expires in May next, so that
speedy action is necessary if the original
terms of the agreement are adhered to.

OAKLAND, Nov. 2S-W. IT. WAR;

OAKLAND, Nov. 2S.-W. H. Warren,
q chicken rancher Of Haywards, has
come forward as claimant for airship
honora He says that he has invented
an airship capable of carrying one man
and is satisfied that he has solved the
problem of aerial navigation. He says
he made trial trip recently and had
perfect control over the machine. He
rose to a height of 100 feet and manoeu-
vered the machine in every direction.
The machine is cigar-shaped and is fur
nished with wings and a tail. The mo-
tive power is gasoline, but the inventor
says he will use electricity. He got his
idea from watching sea gulls fly.

BARIMA GOLD FIELDS
Held BY Venezuela Under the Fifty
Year Clause.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2s.-A special to
the Herald from Caracas, Venezuela
says: In an interview here Senior An
drade. Venezuelan minister to the
United States, characterized as absurd
the claim made by Crown Surveyor Har-
rison that the fifty years clause in the
arbitration agreement between Great
Britain and the United States will not
affect England's ownership of the Ba-
rima gold fields Many similar asser-
tions. the minister said, were apt to be
made during the proceedings before the
arbitration tribunal.
The Venezuelan cabinet crisis has de-
layed the presentation of the arbitration
treaty to congress. but it is likely that
the full text Of the treaty will soon be
reported, when 1t will be promptly pub
lished in the official gazette.

the ultimate fate of the islands, If they
are not annexed by the United States,
will be annexed by some of the other
