A YEAR OF BOLTS.

Political bolts are the fashion this
year. The prohibi,iGnists started
the fashion at their national owen
tion in Pittsburg a month ago when a
part of the delegates refused to abide
by the action of The majority and walk.
ed out of the convention to start a new
prohibition party of their own. The
free silver bolt from the S.. Louis con-
vention was the second of The year. but
1t was scheduled long in advance and
the boilers were men who had refused
to vote with republicans in congress-
on the most important issues.
The democrats in Chicago next week
can hardly fail to follow the fashion,
There may be no actual departure of
delegates from the convention, but the
gold men will not act with the majori-
ty. The silver men will have control
and the gold men will refuse to sup
port the ticket. What other course is
there left to them? They have already
declared their inten ion of refusing to
abide by a free-silVer platform or sup
port a free silver candida. e. The Massa-
chusetts democrats are preparing to
lead the bolt of the gid mer,.! At first
they talked of presentir, ~.s-Governor
Russell as -a~~23nrf'afe for the gold
men to rally around. but Mr.. Russelrs
name was withdrawn, it is said. at the
instance of Presidenl Cleveland. who
preferred that the boiling gold demo-
Gratis should so to the republicans rath-
er than start up with a small faction of
their own. If this plan is followed it
will more than offset the bolt of the
silver republicans who may go 10 the
democrats on 4 free silver platform.
But the greatest bolt of the year will
be in November, when the voters march
to the polls. There are thousands and
thousands of democrats who may differ
from their party or agree with it on the
money question, but will refuse to fol-
low it further in the disasters that have
marched in its train for the last four
years. AS all men love good times
rather than hard times, these thou,
sands of democrats will forget past
party affiliations and the present
squabble over the money question to
vote for Mckinley as the advance agent
of protection and prosperity. They

1892 and they will vote for the man

AN ORIENTAL NERO.
Crimes and Cruelties Practiced by Per-
sia's Late Ruler.

With the death of Nasr Ed-din there
most cruel and rapacious rulers Persia
has ever been cursed with-a veritabIe
Oriental Nero. Under his reign the
peasantry were constantly plundered.
without hope of relief, as the s~o-called
civilized powers. Great Britain and
Russia, ever had covetous eyes on the
his wickedness. says the St. Louis
"GlObe-Democrat."
Probably the most atrocious of the
many crimes of the Persian monarch
was the cruel death meted out to the
governor of MatZendor, Abdullah Ku-
lah. whom he sentenced to be boiled
alive in a caldron of oil, on the charge
of embezzlement. Notwithstanding his
%pleadings and prayers. Abdullah Ku-
lab was pitched head first into the chal-
dron by the e~xecutioners of his sirene
highness, while the Shah stood by to
see that his mandates were obeyed.
Travellers through the domains of the
Shah said that it was not an uncommon
thing to near groans issuing from pill
lars of brick on the roadside, the living
tombs Of peasants unable to satisfy the
demands Of the tax gathere-left to a
lingering death, without food to salts
fly their hunger or water to quench
their thirst. To prolong the misery of
these unfortunate wretches, a small
window-like aperature is left in the pill
lar, that the prisoner may breathe, and
not die from s~uffocation. Shese tombs
dot the wayside in the Province OF
Hamadan as plentifully as do crosses
the mountain roads of Mexico to show
where some wayfarer has fallen by vio-
lence-a more merciful fate than the
Persian monarch melted out to his sub
jects.

Olympic Club VIII Give Professional
BOxing Contests-At the Ranges.
President Newhau of the Olympic Club
is figuring upon a great boxing tourna-
ment which, in all probability, will be
held in the Mechanics Pavilion. Mr..
Newhall does not favor professional box
ing contests in the club building, but he
says that amateur boxing bouts will be
given frequently. For the professional
entertainment some very hattering in
ducements will be offered Corbett and
FltZsimmons and other prominent fighters
to meet IN this City. At any rate the new
board of officers of the Olympic Club is in
favor of boxing and some good evenings
of sport will be given during the winter
season.
Jack Everhard and "Kid" Lavigne will
box twenty-five rounds before one of the
New York clubs on October 81. They will
enter the ring weighing 135 pounds.
Rife shooters will be represented in
strong force to-day at the ranges. The
California Schuetzen Club, Eintracht

San Francisco Turner Schuetzen Club and
the California Ladies' SchuetZen Club will
meet at the California Schuetzen Club s
