A SAN JOSE BANK CLOSED.
It's Assets Said TO Be Far in Excess
of It's Liabilities

San Jose. Cal, March 9.-The CONNER
cial and Savings Bank did not open this
morning. A notice posted on the door
states that the directors have decided that
It would go into liquidation. The assets
are far In excess of the liabilities and all
the depositors will be paid in full.
An officer OF the bank says that the as
sets are 81 100000 and the liabilities $675 900.
The surplus fund Is $2J0,000 Bernard ID.
Murphy Is president.
The cause of the failure was a run on
the bank Friday and Saturday last, by
some OF the largest depositors. Many
sums were drawn ranging from $4,000 to
$4,000. Their anxiety was occasiOned by
a mortgage placed upon some of President
Murphy's property. This started a ru-
NOR that the bank was hard up, for which
there was no foundation. Mr. Murphy
merely placed the mortgage to rearrange
some private debts.

BRABAzON DISCHARGED.
The Engineers and Stewards of the
Ship still Detained.

New York. March 9.-Capt Brabazon,
the commander Of the alleged Cuban fill
clustering steamer Bermuda, who was ar
rested as a witness, and who is under SIS,
600 bail as a principal, was discharged as
a witness this afternoon. He was before
the United States grand jury, and his dis
charge is regarded as indicative of the fact
that he gave no evidence of value against
the so-called- dlihuSters. The engineer,
assistant engineer and steward of the Ber-
muda who were also arrested as wit
nesses, were brought before the grand
jury and were held until next Wednesday.
1t is intimated that the detention of the
engineers and the steward as witnesses
was with view TO prevent the departure
of the Bermuda, and there is also another
rumor to the effect that the Bermuda has
been re-equipped and may ship her anchor
at any minute.

DIsPENsARY LAW DONE UP.
Drummers Can't BE Stopped From
Soliciting Orders i'm Carolina.

Charleston. S. c., March 9.--In the United
States circuit court to-day Judge Simon
ton handed down his decision in the case
of the state against Jonas Loeb, an At
lanta drummer, who was arrested in
Greenville some time ago, charged with
violating the dispensary law. The case
came up before the court of habeus cor
pus. The state alleged that in soliciting
orders for whisky Loeb had violated the
dispensary law, while Loebs counsel
claimed that any such construction as
that would make the dispensary law a
burden upon interstate commerce Judge
Simonton takes the latter view, and his
decision orders that Drummer Loeb be
discharged from custody at once.

He's a Dirty Prevaricator and lie
Knows IL.


Knows IL.
The Washington Post quotes G. G.
Watts. the late Popocratic candidate
for Governor, as follows:
1--WE made a great fight in West
Virginia. said he, against terrible
odds, and there is no doubt that the
legitimate vote cast for the Democrat
ic ticket, State and National, exceeded
that of the opposition. The Republi-
cans realized weeks in advance of the
election, that they were beaten unless
extreme methods were used, and with
an unlimited supply of money at their
command began a systematic plan Of
colonization. Thousands of imported
voters were brought in aud distributed
over the State. In addition to this,
repeating was extensively practiced.
There is no registration law, and all
that is necessary is to make affidavit
of residence in the State one year and
sixty days in the county, which, be-
ing done by an INSCRIPTIONS voter,
no amount of challenging can prevent
his exercising the right of suffrage.
Such were the methods used to defeat
the popular will, for on anything like
fair vote Bryan would certainly
have carried West Virginia"
The Herald begs to inform Candi-
date Watts that he is the foulest
calumniator in the State. He went
about during the campaign villifying
and slandering the people, rehashing
pack of Populistic fabrications, and
when the people turned him down
even more emphatically than they re-
pudiated Bryan, he goes about the
country pleading the baby act.
The fact is that he has held Office so
long-aimost ever since he set foot
upon West Virginia soil--that he APP
pears to imagine he is entitled by Di-
vine right to forever feed at the pub
lie crib. The blatant demagogue
knows that elections in West Virginia
are now and always have been abso-
lutely fair and honest He also knows
that every Democrat elected to office
in the State has been allowed the
privileges and emoluments of the
same, and he knows, as does every
body else that he and his gang of free
hooters counted out the lawfully elect
ed Republican Governor in 1888, in
positive violation of the constitution
and that he at the same time, with all
of the power of the u. S. Court at his
back, raked and scraped the State
over for Republicans who had violated
the election laws and that he failed to
find one wilful violator. His reign oil
terror is ended He is back mum
ber--a has been. In the emphonious
language of Grover Cleveland, he has
passed into innocuous desuetude, to
return to power and place nevermore.
There was no repeating. There
was no colonization. An affidavit
does not permit anyone to vote, the
courts having decided that election
officials must be fully convinced that
voters are entitled to the right of suf-
frage else they cannot vote. The
popular will" was against Watts.

The editor of the Wetzel Democrat
finally admits that he was in error as
to his estimate Of the ability and De-
mocracy OF Grover Cleveland. He is
still of opinion that Bryan's mouth is
we'll of living water in a desert
land, an anchor of hope on bar of
sand, chord of music on a silver
strand food of CAB to weary band;
that Mckinley is man of proper pro-
portions in physical way, but that
he is altogether bad by reason of the
evil communications of Mark Hanna
and of his Protective Tariff ideas.
Now we beg to submit that whereas
the editor of the Democrat is fallible
by his own admission; that he wholly
and absolutely failed to size-up Grow
er Cleveland at his proper dimen-
sions, to such an extent that he is
now constrained ito go out upon the
public streets and profaue the atmos-
phere," is it not altogether probable
that he is worse fooled on his esti-
mate of the windy Bryan?
Again, since Dire Disaster has al
ways closed swiftly upon the trail OF
Free Trade, while Peace and Prosper
ity are twin sisters of Protection, is it
not within the realms of possibility
that Blind Prejudice or Bullhead Per
verseness fill the cerebrum or cere-
belldm of our friends anatomy?
Really and truly, we are forced to
that conclusion after finding in the
last issue of the Democrat this clip
ping from the classics
No more years of Grover,
Dead is our patch of clover,
Out we go, in they go,
But amt we glad its oyer?

any OF the symptoms of dyspepsia,
your stomach is tired. 1t needs a

to its natural strength. To do this
successfully, we must use food which
