ADJUSTMENTS.

arthur A. Lotto, Business Manager
for the Davis MoultOn Dramatic Com
pany, is in the city and has arranged
with Manager Todd for the company to
play here at the Clunie Opera house
for a season beginning June 10Th. The
company is headed by Joseph Bowling
and Myra Davis and Arthur Moulton.
There are fourteen people in the COM
pany, which carries large lot of spe-
cial scenery. It will be the first first-class
company that has ever played here
at such prices as prevail at the Opera
house. 1t is claimed for it that the
company will be to Sacramento at the
prices at which it is to play what the
Frawley company is to San Francisco
at the Columbia Theater. In fact, the
troupe is one of the representatives of
new movement namely, for first
class artists to form stock companies
tc play the summer season through in
stead of lying idle, as heretofore Both
Mir. Lotto and Manager Todd are in
sistent that this company will be a
surprise to Sacramento playing, as it
will, at ten, twenty and thirty cent
prices, though composed of people who,
in regular seasons, enter companies
that play to high prices in the leading
cities OF the Union. In the repertory
OF the company are the comedies Mi
obe," THE Girl Up to Date" and
Turned Up" The dramas are Capt.
Herne, q. S. A. MY Partner" Ken
lucky Girl THE Red Spider" and 9TH
ers of that order.

A PECULIAR and pathetic instance
in the life of William J. Bryan, was
the fact that two individuals to whom
he owed more than any others for his
manly qualities, his inclinations and
greatness, died only little too soon
to see his great hOnOrs conferred upon
him at Chicago. One was his mother,
who died only a week before his NOM
inatiOn. The other was that great
commoner and model Of craftsmanship
Lyman Trumbull, whose death oc-
Cured only a little sooner. A day or
two after his nomination, while still in
Chicago, he drove out to the grave Of
this great man from whom he received
his first lessons in law, and as he stood
before that lonely sepulchre, his eyes
trimming with tears he said gently:
Whatever of distinction may have
attained is due in great part to the
man who lies buried here"

It is recommended that county con-
ventions for the election of delegates to
tkis convention to be held on Saturday,
August l, 1896, but delegates heretofore
elected at conventions regularly called
for such purpose shall be considered as
duly elected delegates to this convention.
The secretary of county conventions
are hereby respectfully requested to i'm
mediately forward to the undersigned a
certified copy of the credentials OF dele
gates, blanks for which have been sent
to the chairman of county central COM
mittees. The original credentials should
be handed to some delegate who will at
tend the convention to be delivered by
him to the committee on credentials. A
little care in observing this suggestion
will save the convention time and incon-
vedience.

THE possibility of another demo-
cratic ticket is by no means a slight
one. The conference of gold demo-
Gratis resulted in the recommendation
of a committee meeting at Indianap-
oils for the purpose of calling such a
convention. And now Mark Hannah
gives it out cold that such a ticket
would defeat Mckinley. This Marcus
doesn't seem to be the same hopeful
fowl with the magnificent rosy comb,
and Leghorn strut of convention days.
The cares of his poultry yard whose
instincts seem to show sorry lack of
gregariousness, with an unprecedented
flock Of young ducklings who want to
take to the silver wave, are bringing
trouble to the "ole mans mind"

has decided that Congress has power
to make money out of paper, and
make that paper legal tender in pay
ment of debts. The grant of power to
Congress not only includes the power
to ''cOin money" but also to regulate
the value thereof" The present
standard silver dollar is a legal tender
IN payment of debts for one hundred
cents on the dollar, and yet until the
recent rise in silver bullion it contained
less than ninety cents worth of silver.
The material of which a one thousand
dollar legal tender note is composed is
not as valuable as an ounce of cotton
or an ear of corn. 1t derives its value
from the law, which makes it a legal
tender in payment of debts for the
amount expressed on its face. Gold
and silver in bullion, or in spoons,
plates or ornaments, is not money. In
all these shapes gold and silver are
mere commodities to be bought and
sold in tbs market like cotton or any
other commodity. 1t must be coined
by the government, and its value fixed
and stamped upon it by law, before it
becomes mOney.-H. G. Caldwell,
Judge Eighth Circuit u. S. Court of
Appeals.

TITS the per capita purchasing power
and not the per capita money supply,
which makes prosperous times. The
man who gets ten dollars week can
buy more bread and meat than the man
who gets ten cheap dollars. Have the
farmer free silver advocates ever
thought of that.-Kansas City Star.
That is exactly what they are thinking
of. The farmer thinks that while the
purchasing power Of the dollar is great
he mostly has things to sell, and their
power to purchase money or to pay in
terest, debt and taxes, is small. The
laborer also thinks that while the pur-
chasing power of the dollar is great,
the power of his labor to purchase the
dollar is small.

IT is well known that during the last
few months the treasury has been
coming several million dollars per
month of the bullion purchased Under
the Sherman law. With these new
silver dollars the Sherman notes are
being redeemed, or as in most cases,
one dollar silver certificates are issued
in the place of the dollar when the
Sherman note has been retired. This
is a good step SO FAR as it goes. The
silver certificates are redeemed in sill
yer, whereas the Sherman notes are
under the present and past rulings of
the treasury department redeemed in
gold, and they may be used in the end
less chain process of relieving the
treasury of the yellow metal. The
new silver certificates are said 10 be
very popular and the treasury cannot
meet the demand for them from inte-
lior banks. Being in small denomina-
tions they are just what the people
need in the small transactions of these
days of close times and low prices.
But by the way, these facts do not ar
que anything against the use Of silver.

The plutocratic bankers of the
northeast are all at once become patri-
otic. They have met and sOlemnly re-
solved that they are patriots and that
they must txchange their gold holdings
at the sub.treasury for legal tender
and thus maintain the gold reserve,
and the national credit, etc. 1t is, in
deed lamentable that such spasm Of
patriotism never broke over them be-
fore when the gold reserve was fast
sliding toward the bottom and bond
issues. 1t is too bad such spasm Of
patriotism never overlook them before
when their brethren we're driving q
hard bargain with Uncle Sam, and
forcing him to pay them eleven mil
lions of cash for such patriotic service
for about four months time. This
patriotic fever will run high among
Wall Street banks until about the
ides OF November. BY that time the
people will have registered their
thoughts and the sacriicial spirit will
quickly subside. 1t would never do to
have an "otject lesson on maintain
ing the gold reserve SO close to the
time of election. Bankers can be
amazingly patriotic to prevent that.

THE gOlu SCumperS VINO profess 10 De
republicans following the honorable
traditions of Blaine and other heroes
should occasionally be confronted
with his speech in Congress in 1878.
1t is pretty good reading, and they
ought to be made to swallow it or spew
it out. He said: II believe the strug.
gle now going on in this country and
in other countries for a single gold
standard would, il successful, produce
widespread disaster in and throughout
the commercial world. The destruction
of silver as money, and establishing
gold as the sole unit Of value, must
have a ruinous effect on all forms of
property except those investments
which yield fixed return in money.
These would be enormously enhanced
in value, and would gain 'dispropOr-
tionate and unfair advantage over every
other species of property. If, as the
most reliable statistics affirm, there are
nearly $1,000, 900, 900 of coin or bullion
in the world, not very unequally di-
vided between gold and silver, it is i'm
possible to strike silver out of existence
as money withoutresults that will prove
distressing to millions and utterly dis.
astrous to tens of thousands. believe
gold and silver coin to be the money of
the constitution, indeed, the money Of
the American people anterior to the
constitution, which the great organic
law recognized as quite independent
of its own existence. No power was
conferred on Congress to declare that
either metal should not be money
Congress has, therefore, In my judge
ment, no power to dsmonitize silver
any more than to demonetize gold; no
power to demonetize either any more
than to demonetize both. In this state
ment l am repeating the weighty die
tum of the first of constitunal lawyers.
If, therefore, silver has been demone-
tized, l am in favor of remonetizing it.
If its coinage has been prohibited, l
min favor Of ordering it to beresumed.
If it has been restricted, am in favor
of having it enlarged" In the same
speech Mr.. Blaine also spoke exactly
as follows: "The responsibility of re-
establishing silver in its ancient and
honorable place as money in Europe
and America devolves really on the
Congress of the United States. If we
act here with prudence, wisdom and
we shall not only successfully
remonetize silver and bring it into gen.
eral use as money in our own country,
but the influence of example will be
potential among all European nations
with the possible exception Of Eng
land"

IT'S too bad, but the London bank
ers don't like Bryan and his ideas.
The London Daily Times Of the 27Ch,
has an interview with Mr.. Herbert
Triton, banker of the firm of Bare
lay, Beyan, Triton, Ransom, Banberie
& Co., in which he says: The passage
of free silver bill would cause rise
in prices and would glut America with
silver from the eastern countries, caus-
ing complete dislocatiOu of the
entire basis of exchanges between East
and West. 1t would also cause the
boarding and disappearance of gold
from circulation. Gold would go to a
premium. Thirdly, there would be
a disappearance of foreign capital,
causing severe panic and general
commercial ruin. The first cure for
American financial distress must be
the contraction of their paper issues
both bank notes and treasury issues.
If Mr. Bryan wins, International BIZ
metalism will see an opportunity. But
it is very doubtful if they will be able
to seize it. The history of the Latin
Union has conclusively shown that
any international metallic union
must collapse through its own weight"
In commenting on this interview in
connection with others of similar tenor
the Times says that the Supreme Court
stands between investors and an I'M
constitutional law. If the free silver
forces carry the day and bill is passed
it may he verify believed that the
Supreme Court will come to the rescue,
of the banking syndicates of Europe
and America, and reverse the cele-
brated legal tender decision. Within
the last year the Supreme Court has
reversed important decisions of Lin
coins time on the income tax, and it is
not unreasonable to suppose a court
packed by the subservient tool Of the
money power we have had for presi-
dents in recent years, will do the same
on the silver question. They will at
tempt to do it under the clause Of the
constitution concerning the obligation
of contracts.

Is, 1896, at 10 o'clock a. m. for the pur-
pose of nominating candidates for the
following county offices: Clerk Of the

and county superintendent.
1t is recommended that after the vari-
Gus county officers have been nominated
the delegates Of the Seventy-sixth and
Seventy-seventh Representative districts
respectively organize into separate con-
ventions aud nominate candidates for
the legislature from each of these dis
tricts.
Having been fully demonstrated by
the action of various conventions hereto
fore held, State, national and lesser di-
visions, that the silver issue is the only
supreme and overshadowing question for
solution In this campaign; Mathis the is

ONE point, small though 1t is, seems
to have been gained against John Bull
by little bluff from the United States.
The famous bulldog qualities of that
little splOtch on the water have been
considerably Modified by PresidenC
Cleveland's stand on the Venezuela
question. Lord Salisbury has since
that time become believer in arbitra-
ton, and expresses fullest confidence
in the Venezuela commission appointed
by the president. England has found
out that she must take some subtler
method than buster and sheer force to
do anything with the people of the
United States.

a creation of the law. 1t may be Of

debts is derived from the laws of man
and not from the laws of nature. The
