Government ownershIp Of silver Mine.

Government Ownership OF silver Mines.
Why is it that both the Populists and
the Democrats failed to put plank in
their platforms demanding that the
government own and control the silver
mines of this country, so that the profit
which would be made from free coinage
would 90 to our government and thus
indirectly be a benefit to the whole
peopleg Why should this profit go to q
few individuals who own the silver
mines and who are already enormously
riohf Is not this building up one of the
most dangerous trusts that the country
has ever seen?
Think Of a few men having under
their control all the silver Of this coun-
try and the government compelled TO
turn it into dollars as fast as they pro-
duce it'll Suppose that these silver men
combine TO shut down work on their
mines when they want to produce q
stringency in the money market, then
open them again when they want 20

EFFECTS OF A CHEAP DOLLAR.

EFFECTS OF A CHEAP DOLLAR.
Wage earners, Mr.. Bryan says,
know that while a gold standard
raises the purchasing power of the
dollar it also makes it more difficult
to obtain possession of the dollar.
They know that employment is less
permanent, loss of work more pro-
bable, and unemployment less cer-
tain. If that means anything it
means that a cheap dollar would
give him more employment, more
frequent employment, more work
and chance to get unemployment
after he was discharged. Well,
now, if that means anything in the
world to a sane man, it means that
if the laborer is willing to have his
wages cut down he will get more
work.-Burke Cochran's speech il

To q man who has no money there are
several ways to get it-namely:
(a) Beg it.
(b) Steal it.
(c) Borrow 1t.
(d) Secure it by gift
(e) Trade something for it.
If we are to beg for it, we might just
as well do the best we can. Therefore a
dollar based ON a gold standard is better
than q 16 to silver dollar, which today
Is worth about SO cents intrinsically.
II we are to steal it, we want the best.
A thief who would steal silver dollar
in preference to q gold dollar would be
acquitted ON the ground that he was in
sane.
II we borrow 1t, we want that kind Of
money which will go farthest, for so we
can get along with smaller loan.
Therefore gold dollar is better to bor-
row than 10 to silver dollar.
If we are TO secure 1t by gift, certainly
we should not depreciate that which we
are about to receive.
This brings us TO 9, which is the
way most money Is obtained. A peril

Roland Danvers Peel, MD, Of England,

as NAT, the comedian" and who has been
delighting the cosmopolitan audiences of
the Bella Union Theater for the past week
or two with his irresistibiy funny songs
and makeups, has decided to abandon
the stage and Lie himself away to the
frozen north on tour of exploration.
Mr. Peel acknowledges himself to be the
eldest son OF Sir Robert Peel and nephew
OF the Sir Robert Peel who until recently
was Speaker OF the House of Commons.
1t was he who solicited OF Explorer
Stanley permission to accompany him as
surgeon through the wilds of Africa. He
has been on exploring expeditions before
and has penetrated the northern and
almost inaccessible parts of Australia,
going as far as the Carpentaria Bay.
My idea" said he last evening, "is to

THE NORTH-END STATION,
Supervisors Will Decide To-Day
Where 1t Shall Be
Located.
Strong Protest Filed to the Selection
of the Washington.Street
Site.

To-day the Board of Supervisors will de-
termine matter which is deemed of vital
importance to the owners of property and
residents IN the immediate neighborhood
of the proposed location of new police
station.
Some time ago, the present location of
the North End police station on Jackson
street east of Polk being deemed made
ouate TO the wants of the Police Depart
ment, a movement was made to establish
more commodious quarters in that vicin-
ity. The block bounded by Van Ness
avenue, Washington, Jackson and Polk
streets, except the frontage on Polk street
and vacant lot on Washington street, is
occupied by private residences, among
them being some of the best in the City,
The vacant lot on Washington street,
SO by 1919, belongs to John Mccarthy, the
president of Buckley's Occidental Club.
The property owners in that block. find
ing that movement was on foot to locate
the police station on the Mccarthy lot,
made a strong opposition, which resulted
in an agreement to locate the same on Polk
street, between Jackson and Washington.
This arrangement was entirely satisfactory
to the property owners on Polk sire t. The
Polk.street lot has frontage of forty feet
on the easterly side of the street. in the
middle of the block. The owner removed
his tenants at considerable expense. EN-
ployed an architect to prepare plans and
specifications for the building, and had the
same nearly completed when the Health
and Police Committee refused to give
further time, and awarded to contract to
Mccarthy.
All the property owners of the block
mentioned except one, representing 1920
front feet out of 1878 feet, and the owners
OF property on the south side of Washing

day were treated to "fshtail' wind that
whipped back and forth from every point
of the compass in the south. The light,
too, was varying, at times the black discs
appearing distinct and at other times as
dark as San Francisco street on foggy
night when the almanac says there is a
moon.
The members of the Columbia Pistol and
Rife Club were out in full force, and con-
sidering the weather excellent work was
done with the light bullets used. The
Colum bia s new target is becoming better
liked as the marksmen become more IA
mlllar with the system of counting the
points. Many who are not members have
given 1t test and are so we'll pleased that
there is every probability that they will
advocate its adoption in their clubs.
Among these are W. E. Spofford, who is
one of the leading spirits ia the Fresno
Rifle Club. His club instructed him to
look into the merits Of the Columbia tar
get, and his verdict yesterday after testing
lt'on rifle and pistol ranges is such that he
will urge his club to adopt it.
q. G. Thaxter, one of the best rifemen
on the coast and membe of a crack Car
son team has expressed his appreciation
of the target, and it is likely that the Ne
veda riflemen will soon be shooting for the
one in he.center. A Butte"County club
IS also discussing its adoption, while one
or two local military companies are con-
sldering the same question. +. o. Young,
the originator Of the target, is constantly
answering letters and questions in expla-
nation of the principles involved.
Great interest was manifest in the pistol
range because the short range was less
affected by the wind. Daiss, who is in
the champion class, made the remarkable
score OF in three shots, counting from

messed an imposing spectacle.
Shortly after O'clock the spect ators
watching the seals on the rocks heard
their believing and then noticed them
hurriedly leave the rocks and leap into the
breakers that were rolling high against the
tall piles on which the kings and queens OF
the deep had been rolling.
THAT" said an elderly man who moved
ABOUT with swaying gait and who had
the appearance OF an old salt, sis sign
that there's storm a-comlng, and pretty
blamed soon. When you see them crit
tiers a-diving into the water you'd better
take in sail. It's a sure sign and beats
them feIlers in the Mills building all hol-
low"
AS he was speaking the seals moved
waterward, the sky, which had been fairly
clear, darkened suddenly, there was
binding flash of lightning and roar OF
distant thunder, the wind rose and the
high-crested waves chased one another
rapidly until they broke upon the shore or
dashed the rocks and sent their white
foam thirty or forty feet high.
A small coaSting steamer was seen IN
the distance ploughing through the angry
pillows and making very slow headway
| toward the Golden Gate. Inc darkneSS
increased. the ocean became obscured
from view by a heavy dark-gray fog and
| there was another and more vivid flash,
| quickly followed by another.
| AT that moment there were hundred
people, men and women, on the grade that
| leads to the cliff, moving to and from that
eminence, and the wind that was blowing
from the southwest made walking de-
! cidedly unpleasant. A few drops of rain
! fell, and as lt,was impossible to raise UNI
brellas there was scurrying for the shell
! ter of the new building and for the depot,
| but before either could be reached the
| storm broke in all its fury, the force of the
wind increased, the rain came down from
| all directions in great drops that struck
! the face of the pedestrians with such force
they were compelled to close their eyes.
1t was binding rain that fell with the
violence Of hail, and was drenching, as the
unfortunates who were caught in it dis
covered. While this was heaviest the
! lightning continued to flash and there was
peal of low rum bling thunder that con-
tinued for fifteen seconds.
The o'clock train that left the Park
and Ocean depot for the City carried away
the most thoroughly drenched load oil
passengers ever seen on cars.
