ing. The opponents of these doctrines.
men who understood their fallaoies
ana were competent to expose
them, hoping that they would blow over
IN little time, instead of com batting
them as they should and showing the
farmers the other ride, kept silent
and ailowei the farmers to in fer that
the doctrines preached to them by the
silver people were sound and that there
was no answer to them. Under these
circumstances the farmers were inclined
to accept on trust the theories preached
to them. But it is great mistake to as
erlbe this acceptance to study. The
theories were simply deposited in their
minds. They never examined them
critically.
The spread Of the silver
heresy in the West was largely due to
the fact that the circumstances sur
rounding its propagation were such as to
make the farmers believe that it WAS all
right and that no critical Investigation
on their part was necessary. Under
similar circumstances the silver
doctrine would have made just rs much
Roadway in the East as in the West.
Twenty years ago the greenbaok herssy
which Ia closely allied to the silver her,
esy, got strong grip on the farmers of
Maine, in just the same way that silver
has in the oass of the farmers of
the West. Not study but lack of study
accounted for it's growth.
The decline of the silver heresy began
in the West, we believe, the moment the
people began to study it; and the reason
it never gained any Roadway in the East
was because the people began to study
it the moment 1t was presented to them.
We have little doubt that had the
western farmers been shown both sides
when the agitation first began, instead,
as was the case, being permitted
TO see but one, they would
have been impelled to study the
question and silver would never have
got the grip it did. More Western
farmers than eastern farmer are silver
men, not because they have studied the
question more but because they have
studied it less. This may sesm rash
assertion in view of the fact that silver
has been agitated in the West for years
while it has scarcely been heard of in
this section until this year. But tine agi-
tation has been almost entirely upon
ons side, and the propositions of the sill
yer men not being controverted have
been taken on trust much like the words
of Holy Writ. The western farmer now
knows that there is another side, and is
studying the question for himself. Can
there be any doubt that study of the
same question by the same kind of men,
whether they live eaAt of west OF the
Alleghanies, will produce the same resulta

THE WESTERN FARMERS.

AThe Bryan men admit that free
silver has made no converts among
the farmers of the East, but
they say is different with the
farmers of the West. There, they say.
the farmers have studied the question
and come to the conclusion that free
silver will benefit them. Hence thew
are predicting a great uprising on the
part Of the western farmers for the silver
ticket.
Where they make their fundamental
mistake is in their assumption that
study of the silver question impels farm
ers to their side of 1t. The truth, we
beiieve, is quite the opposite. Up to the
beginning OF this campaign the West had
not studied the silver question In the
proper sense Of that word. They had
listened to great many harangues upon
the subject by silver orators, and they
bad read many essays upon it prepared

Judge Van Dyke yesterday hand

William Whalley VS.. the City of Los An
geles, giving judgment for the plaintiff
for $780, The case is better known as
the gravel pit case. Whalley owns lot
on De Long street just off Pico, and the
city purchased the adjoining lot on
which gravel pit was sunk to the depth
of fifteen feet. In taking out the gravel
the city encroached on Whalley's lot, CT
rather took out the gravel to the prop
erty line, and as the banks were not
"shored up" portion of Whalley's lot
dropped into the city's hole. Whalley
then brought suit against the city for
damages. Testimony was introduced,
and Judge Van Dyke took the matter
under advisement He made a personal
inspection of the premises, as result
of which he came to the conclusion that.
as only strip of Whalley's lot had fall
len into the city's pit, he could only re-
cover for that amount. Judgment was
accordingly rendered for s15G

LEWITH ON TRIAL
All Day Spent in TRYING to Secure Jury In
the Case

tnS Ease
The greater portion of the day yester-
day was occupied by Justice Morrison in
department two of the police court with
the commencement of the trial of j. L.
Lewith on three charges of petty lar
ceny. Lewith was employed by the
Peoples store as head of the dress goods
department. and while so engaged is
alleged to have stolen at different times
goods to the value of over $500 He was
arrested and prosecuted in the superior
court for grand larceny. but dismissed
on technicality, as it could not be
proved that he had stolen all the goods,
or enough to amount to more than $50
in value, at any one time.
The petty larceny charges were then
preferred against him and it is upon
the first of these that he is now under
going trial. a venire had been issued
for twenty-four talesmen to be exam
med as prospective jurors, and counsel
tackled the job of securing twelve men
to pass upon the case. When the noon
hour arrived the panel had been eX-
hausted, so another venire for thirty men
was issued and served. AT the hour of
adjournment of court these talesmen had
been exhausted and still but ten jurors
had been accepted by both sides. The
case Will be taken up again at $3.50 this
morning and another venire of TWENTY
four has been summoned. On the part
of the people four peremptory challenges
have been issued; for the defense, three.

before Judge Torrance in department
five yesterday Most of the day was de-
voted to dissection of Barclays repu-

witnesses were examined, but this i'm

Torrance finally got tired of the string
of testimony that was being introduced
and intimated to the attorneys for the
defense that if they knew how little i'm
portance the court attached to individ-
ual experiences in this line they would
desist. This admonition had the de-
sired effect, and more progress was
made on the material points at issue.

The case of James ]. Simons VS.. Jane

contains some points out of the ordi-

in for the recovery of some property be-
aueathed to him by his deceased wife,
and her parents are contesting his
claim. The specific lot in dispute is lot
9 of the Abbot Kinney tract, which wa
purchased for S2500. Simons is suing for
$1,000 with interest. There is also some
real estate in New York mixed up in the
deal
