OF awful things to happen in case of

OF awful things to happen in case of
Bryan's election, 1t is feared that the
tears they shed were not for the dear
people.-Examiner.
Evidently the bankers are looking
after their own interests, but it is an
undeniable fact that they feel the pinch
Of hard times as quickly and severely as
any other class. If they believed that
free coinage would bring the universal
prosperity that is predicted by its ad
vocates nine-tenths of the bankers of
the country would be for 1t. The bankers
are just as liable to be mistaken as any
body else, but they are not opposed to
free coinage because 1t will subServe
their interests TO have continuation of
hard times. There is not bank in this
State. for example, that has not suf
fered heavy losses on account of the ex-
listing depression.
NOTHING TO DO WITH 1T.
San Bernardino Index: The amount of
money in circulation has nothing to
do with fixing the value of products.
Destroy all your money, every dollar
of it, and your commodities will have
the same value as they would have with
q money circulation of a thousand dol
lars per capita The only difference is
you will have to exchange for other
property instead Of for money, which is
property in its most concrete foorm, and
hence the most convenient for general
exchange.
FREE WOOL BRYAN.
Amador Record: William J. Bryan,
while a member of the House Of Repre-
sentatives, was outspoken in his advo-
cacy Of free wool; in fact, he was one OF
its leading champions. Being a member
of the Ways and Means Committee, his
opportunities for promoting the passage
Of the Wilson bill were better than the
average Congressman. In his attack
upon the Mckinley law, which provided
a protection of IL cents a pound on
| an average for wool, he said: Il want to
state as emphatically as words can
state that / consider it false economy
and vicious in policy to attempt to raise
at a high price in this country that
which we can purchase abroad at a low
price" That is, if Australia or South
America can undersell US open the flood
gates and let them in Let the 4o,OOO,-
900 Of sheep in this country be sacrlf1ced
upon the Bryan free trade altar. Ami
hilate one Of the leading industries of
America Cripple and pauperize the
farmers and flock-masters in order that
a pet theory Of free trade Democracy
NAV be satisfied.

The Hercules cotton mills at Quere

The Hercules cotton mills at Quere-
taro, Mexico, have closed down, throw
ing out 1,6OO workers. These are the
largest mills Of the kind in the sister
republic. What is the matter, over-pro-
duction, or is there any relation be-
tween the fact and free silver and the
t3-cent dollar in Mexico? If the line
Of argument Of the free coiners of the
United States is logical, then the con-
verse Of what they claim is true, and
to free silver the QueretarO mills owe
their downfall. If with ordinary labor
in the mills receiving only from 10 to
% cents a day, and the highest skilled
labor only IS cents a day, and silver so
plenty that it takes two Mexican dol
lars to buy an American one, cotton
mills cannot run in Mexico, what-but
it is useless to PROFOUND other conun-
drums.

All CHUNG'S FIRE.
How He Propitiated Satan and Got
Himself Into Jail.

All Chung yesterday afternoon visited
the Celestial cemetery to attend to the
spiritual welfare Of a cousin" who was
gone but not forgotten. The latter was.
SO Chung thought. in danger of getting
into the clutches Of the evil one, andthe
only preventive was the lighting of a
good big devil-fire over his grave.
With this commendable purpose
Chung visited the cemetery, collected
his materials, struck a match, and the
wish OF his heart was soon gratified-
he had a devil of a fire" The high wind
which was blowing drove the flames
into the long, dry grass, and before the
progress Of the fire was checked the
flames had extended into Clarke's or
chard and destroyed number of valu-
able trees. George Ficks arrested
Chung, and the latter now occupies a
cell in the County Jail.

THE NEXT CONGRESS.

Though the largest community in the
district and the Capital Of the State,
never before has Sacramento had a
Representative in Congress chosen from
among her citizens until Mr. Johnson
was elected two years ago.
After all these years shall her people
now consent that their choice be turned
down after a single term. Stockton has
been thrice honored by her citizens be-
ing selected, and now for the fourth
time the opposition to the Republican
party gives Sacramento the "go by" and
again Stockton selects a Stockton man.
We submit that in the common nature
of things this is discrimination savoring
of unfairness. Local pride, therefore.
alone should suffice to rally all voters
in this county for Mr.. Johnson, while
San Joaquin County, which has been SO
much honored, can assuredly advance
no cause for complaint
But aside from this purely local con-
sideration Mr.. johnson has been essen
TALLY a representative, not Of Sacra-
mento, but of all district interests. He
has done just as much for one, put forth
just as much energy and worked with
just as good will for one section Of the
district as for another, and Of this fact
San Joaquin County will certainly bear
witness.
He has been a Representative for the
whole State, likewise. While we strug-
gled fruitlessly for thirty years to Sc
cure the S4.OOO,O00 due from the Fed
eral Government to this State for ad-
vances made in the time OF the war of
the rebellion, not until Representative
Johnson took hold Of the matter has
anything really definite, and charged
with the promise Of success, been at
tanned. He has that claim now so we'll
under way and in such form and has SO
far won approval Of his plan by the
gether likely we will win the point and
soon see the sum paid over into the
State Treasury that previous Represen-
tat1ves have failed to secure
Governor Mckinley is certain to be
chosen President of the United States.
OF that there can be entertained now
no reasonable doubt. It IS essential,
therefore, that he shall be supported by
& Congress In sympathy with him and
the policy upon which he Will go into
Office. 1t Is then OF first Importance
that the nominee Of the Republican
party shall be elected, and by such a
majority as Will clearly and unmistak-
ably emphasize the will Of the people.
For the same reason every nominee of
the party In every Congressional Dis
trict in the State should be elected
The incoming Republican President
must be backed by q Republican Con-
greEa
There are evidences now that cannot
be mistaken that the opposition, con-
vinced Of the hopelessness of electing
Mr.. Bryan, Is bending all it's energy to
the task of capturing Congress. In
deed, it has been openly said by the
organs Of the opposition that If McKin-
ley Is chosen the doors of legislation
will be closed against him, that what
ever the outcome of the Presidential
contest no pains must be spared to put
an opposition majority in the halls OF
Congress.

NOT A MONOMETALLIC PARTY.

In every speech Mr.. Bryan asks, II the
gold standard is good one, why does the
Republican party want TO get rid Of it?
Therein he assumes without warrant.
The Republican party is not for the
gold standard alone, nor Is 1t for sill

sentially a bimetallist party.

him right. Yet it was a rude thing to
do. Mr.. Harveys right Of free speech
gave him the right to denouuce the

as he did not libel them. But it is just
little too much to ask the old soldiers
to sit silent while the men in blue who
led them in many a charge to save the

1T HIT BARLEY.

Visalia Delta: Under the last year Of
the Mckinley tariff the exports Of

der the Wilson German tariff the barley
exports fell to 1853, ,754 bushels. At

Increased from 791, ,O61 bushels in the
last Mckinley year to 2,116,S16 bushels
in the first year Of the Democratic tar
iff 1t is still argued that a protective
tariff does not protect the producer But
here we see how the Wilson, German
law cut the barley producers both ways

ley and increased the imports of foreign
barley to compete with the product of
American farmers, thus causing a loss
to the barley producers of this country

There was a sharp conflict of words at the captains desk at the police station The women are both of reputable char acter, but charges of trespass were preferred against Mrs. Callahan. and breach of peace against Mrs. Lichterg It is probable that the cases will be settled amicably.

They Will Endeavor to Have the Colonel
 Stand for Reelection.
 The friends of Colonel William D. Morgan will renew their efforts to-day to have him allow his name to be used as candidate for reelection to the board of education. They think that he should be placed on the ticket with Messrs Moran and Betts if the latter gentlemen are to be reelected, and they are not objecting to either of them. The only thing they claim is that Colonel Morgan has made an efficient member and should be returned along with the two members elected at the same time.
 One gentleman said last evening: T can see no reason why Col Morgan should be dropped if Messrs. Moran and Betts are to be elected. It was under- stood by us that Colonel Morgan had agreed to make room for Miss Ives. We are now convinced by Colonel Nor gans statements that such was not the case, and for that reason we shall urge his candidacy"
 Will you place MT. MorganS name on ticket with Moran and Betts, or will you make an entirely new ticket?" That we are not determined upon, but I think personally that we should run the three retiring members. It is a good ticket. All the men are capable"
 What do I think of Miss Ives re- marks about Colonel Morgan's denial tIn rI ,f fic,, Well, I know Colonel Morgan, and such being the case I assure you that I can leave the matter just where the young woman herself leaves 1t.
