Bryan's statement that the holders
of United States bonds are entitled to
be repaid the money they lent the gov
ernment in deprecated silver because
they have conspired against the peo-
pie" shows the dishonest and dema-
gogic characer Of the man. The world
has never before witnessed the specta-
eGe OF a candidate for the highest exec
utfve Office of a nation basing his hope
Of success in his ambition upon the
popularity among his followers Of a
promise when invested with power to
utterly destroy that nations credit Is
Bryan mad, or can there be enough
madness among the people to encour-
age the amazing folly Of such an utter
ance? Suppose the country should suf-

While all presidential campaigns in
the past have had a more or less de-
pressing effect upon business not one
has produced so complete a paralysis
as that through which we have just
passed. Former elections have hinged
upon questions of tariff and revenue
which affected special branches of in
dustrial production. The present cam
paign has hinged upon the future value
Of the dollar. an issue that affects every
man, and results in a universal disin-
cIinauon to embark in any business act
ivity until the value of the dollar is de-
termined by the voters at the polls.

the menace Of a debased currency and

PATRIOTIC GREEKS.
Raising Funds to Help In Freeing
Crete From the Turks.

BERKELEY, July 26.-The Greeks Of
California are raising fund to supply
munitions of war to their countrymen
on the Isle Of Crete.
The recent dispatches concerning the
barbaric treatment received by the Hell
lenes at the hands of the Turks living on
the Cretan island and the possible over
throw of the unstable Hellenic power
there. has caused nearly every native
Greek of America to turn his attention
in the direction Of his mother country
and lend what assistance Is possible
from this side of the Atlantic. The
movement by the Greek-Americans to
supply funds to purchase arms, amnu-
milton and provisions for their NAL
treated countrymen has been going on
silently for the past six weeks.
The Cretan Benevolent Societies IN
nearly every State in the Union have
been raising money for this purpose.
The tide of sympathy and the desire to
extend financial aid to the Cretans have
reached this State. The Hellenic Be
nevolent Society Of California, the
strongest of all the Greek organizations
on the Pacific Coast, has taken up the
matter and is making good progress in
the raising of fund for the defense of
the Cretans against the Turkish powers
and the re-establishment of the Grecian

REPUDIATES THE TICKET.
A Washington Democrat Resigns
From the State Central Committee.

SEATTLE (Wasn.), July 26.-Hon.
Frank Quinby of Mount Vernon, one of
the foremost Democrats of Washing
ton and the owner of the Mount Vernon
Post has repudiated the National
Democratic ticket. In resigning from
the State Central Committee he adj
dressed letter to the Chairman, in part
as follows:
Il hereby tender my resignation as a
member of your body. My reason for so
doing is because l cannot indorse the
financial plank in the platform as passed
by the Chicago Convention. 1 believe
that the financial question is the ques-
ton of the hour, made SO by that con-
vention when it refused to listen to rea-
son or make any concessions.
1T is true that when l was elected
member of your body was in full SYM
pathy with both the national and State
platforms of the party, and it might be
said that l still represent them, but it
is also true that since that time both this
State and the National Democracy has
seen fit to go back on its past record,
and in convention assembled advocate
the rankest kind of class legislation.
Il sincerely hope that those parties
who are opposed to reputation will
put another national ticket in the field
and that the party in this State will get
rid of its Populistic interlopers and
again put itself in line with true Dem
ocratic principles. l must have my
hands free to do all in my power to
bring about such a result"

DEFIED HIS AUTHORITY.
Archbishop Gross Cannot Control
the Sisters of Mercy.

PORTLAND, July 26-Archbishop
Gross authority is being defed in his
own archdiocese. He is having trouble
with his Pensioners at Cedar Mills,
Washington County, and though it is
serious from the view point of the
church it Is not likely to worry the
Archbishop very much. The trouble
arises from the building Of an indepen-
dent Catholic school at Cedar Mills by
the Sisters of Mercy. They were on the
side of Father Kelly in his quarrel with
the Archbishop and Sister William a
year ago. When the Archbishop re-
fused to let them teach in the dioceses
they went to Cedar Mills and Father
Kelly sheltered them When they re-
fused to obey the orders of the Arch
bishop he communicated them. Moth
ing daunted, they solicited funds to
build a school
This school is about completed and
VIII be opened late next month or early
in September The Archbishop refuses
to recognize the school as q Catholic
institution and will deny the rights OF
the church to parents sending their
children to the school. While they We're
at Cedar Mills Father Kelly published
number of articles in a newspaper
attacking Archbishop Gross and Sister
William, the superior under whom the
Sisters of Mercy had given their trial

accompanying the rain lasted from Z

TWO CHILDREN SCALDED.
In Their Play They Knock Over a

STOCKTON, July 26.-Two sons of
w. S. Reynor, who lives on East South
street in this city, came near being
scalded to death last night. The boys
are aged 8 and IA years. The younger
may die from tine effects of the terrible
burns received
Mrs. Reynor had placed boiler full
of water over gasoline stove and the
water had heated to a boiling point
when the boys who were playing in the
room, knocked the stove over. The
scalding water fell directly on the
children and their screamse brought
ReynOr and his wife to the rescue. The
younger child was the more seriously
burned and DR.. Lanthurn was at once
summoned to attend to his injuries He
children and their screams brought

other scalded on the left arm and shout

CHARLESTON DISMANTLED.
1t Will Be Months Before the Crack
Cruiser Will be in Commission.

VALLEJO, July 26.-The force at the
navy yard continues to increase, and
now It is a hard matter to secure iron
workers enough to carry on the work
in the construction department. The
Alert arrived a day or two ago, and
after going into the drydock will be put
out of commission. The Charleston
having been dismantled and its crew
sent to the Independence, will have its
pennant hauled down on Monday.
Months win elapse before the crack
CT uiser is again in commission. 1t was
announced that the Philadelphia would
soon come to the station and go out of
commission and the Baltimore serve as
flagship. This cannot be, for the Balti-
more cannot be ready for sea in less
than six months. 1t is likely that the
Oregon, now at San Francisco, viii be
made flagship.
Stores are continually being sent down
from the navy yard to the Oregon.
About the first of the month the gun
boat Bennington is expected to leave for
