Bryan will win so says Alfred Henry
Lewis, the Washington correspondent to
the New Work Journal, and he figures it
out this way:
ComiEg events, especially they be OF
politics, cast their decided shadows be-
fore ia the capital departments. These
folks are the tree toads of politics. They
change their color with the varying hues
of changing administrations. Also do
they chirrup nightly before the storm.
Just aow the political tree toads here are
singing Justify of Democratic victory in
November, and their golden green is
giving way to the ashen white OF silver.
By these signs one may know McKinley's
defeat, and that u teeth =gnashing day is
to dawn for Hanna and his syndicate.
1T this prophecy be not true, then let
some earnest one take the map and POINT
out the detail of Republican success. Go
west to the Missouri.
Can Mckinley carry California-a
state, by the way, which produces more
gold than silver? There exists no chance
OF it. Foz years the Republicans Of
California have declared for free coinage
At lG to l as their only hope to win the

NO HOPE BEYOND DHE MISSOURI.
Is there a Mckinley hope in Oregon !?
Look at the last election.
Does Hanna build oa Washington or
Idaho? II he does it's but dream with
Dubois leading the silver bolt and Squire
just turning his coat.
The Dakotas are no better. Pettigrew.
a senator as keenlv sensitive to a public
breeze as any, so finely strung as to be Il
very aeolian harp of politics, to sing con-
sistent with every breath of general
opinion, went to the silver side at St.
Louis and bolted with Dubois. Go where
you will in the region ives: of the Missou-
ri. there's not one green and growing
blade OF Mckinley hope. The Dakotas.
Nebraska, Kansas, all gone. Every state
west OF them gone. Democracy, free

Is it Maryland? The channels of the
old Democracy are bank full and still
rising with the flood of silver sentiment
that is rushing in. The state will be
swept off its feet by the tides of rising

German, whose business it is to know.
said privately that Maryland would give
Bryan 10000 majority. You can take
Gormans word for Maryland. He has
been over that trail TOO often not to know
the whereabouts of all the wood and
water. The man who says German does
not know Maryland simply publish the
fact that his intelligence has been mis-
laid. Maryland is for Bryan, and will
be for Bryan on the November cleanup.

Hoos1ER VOTES NEEDED.
In INDIANA and IN Michigan the Nc
Kinley dove, when cast loose by Hanna,
returns with weary pinion to the syndi.
cate ark, finding no rest for the sole of
its foot. They say about Washington
that the millions Hanna will pour forth
on the Hoosiers will make the former
financial operations in polillcs of blocks
of-five-Dudley look pale and wan. 1t is
to be hoped that Hanna will break open
his barrel on the banks of the Wabash.
The Hoosiers need money. And such is
their thrift and such their political
direction chat they will take all Hanna
will bring them and then vote for Bryan,
just the same.
The truth is the Mckinley chances are
afire. as this is written. in Indiana. in
Michigan, IN Ohio itself: while from the
snudges going .up in parts Of the Empire
state'it would appear as if New York
itself was in direct range af the sparks
xna liable to burst into silver burning at
xGy hour. Even the staid and solemn
state of Pennsylvania is acting peculiar
ly, aud from what motsam comes now
ashore from the keystone community,
one might reasonably look for Republi-
can woe in that direction.
That is the situation, and there are the
tssoe and figures 10y which Mckinley
must make his conquest of the white
house. One will have to stand on his
head before he sees or reads any Hanna
syndicate encouragement in them.

PLUNGER PARTRIDGE DEAD
ChiCag0's Famous Wheat Dealer Makes
the Last Deal
His Trades Form the Basis of Board Of
Trade Legends-his Gains We're
Well Invested

CHICAGO, April 17.-Edward Pard-
ridge one of the wealthiest operators on
the board OF trade, died of Bright's dis
ease today, after several weeks ill
ness.
Mr.. Pardridge's speciality was wheat.
1t was no uncommon thing for him
to deal in from three to five million
bushels in one day. On one memora BILE
occasion Pardridge's name was upon
every lip. Was he to meet a Waterloo
or was he to bag the biggest game Of
his career? Up the market scored. five
eight and even ten cents; still the little
Napoleon of the bears stood out ON a
great part of the fifteen million. He
instinctively anticipated a rapid decline
in the boistered market. L came and SO
sharply that no cover was left to the
bulls. Pardridge made more money
thereby than any man had ever before
taken out of the market under similar
circumstances in Chicago. The plung
erS gains in one year We're stated by
conservative men to have reached the
total of 81. 100000. Almost equally large
were his losses approaching the $780,,
900 or $S00,000 mark in certain memora-
BILE squeezes. His income from selling
privileges ranged from $4,000 to $4,000
day. At one time he sold calls on $780,
600 bushels of wheat, for which he re-
ceived $4,000 Much of his surplus in
fortunate periods was safely invested in
Chicago real estate. a short time ago
he sold his State-street property, near
Madison street, for over 100000.

CHICAGO, April 17.-Western roads
have agreed upon a rate of one fare for
the round trip for the annual conven-
tion of the society of Christian Endeav
or, which is to be held at Washington
in July. Dates of selling and of final
return will depend upon where the tic
ket is purchased. Arrangements for
the extension of the tickets until July
81 may be made by depositing them
with the joint agent at Washington on
or before p. m. July IA. The tickets
, will be limited to a continuous passage
in both directions and they will be good
for going only on the date of pur-
chase.
The lines of the Western Trunk Line
association met today in the effort to
stiffen their rates a little. Since the
roWn decision was handed down there
have been in existence a number of
what are called secret tariffs.
When big shipper comes to a road
and announces chat on n certain datc
he will have a large amount of goods
TO be shipped. the road agrees with
him as to the rate and then sends word
to the interstate commerce commission
that on date corresponding to that on
which the shipper wishes to get off his
goods the road will make certain rate
on such class of freight. Then the
road forgets to notify it's competitors
A soon as the goods have been shipped
the road sends word to the commission
that the rate is cancelled and that is the
end of it until the shipper comes around
again.
The meeting was called for the pur-
pose of seeing what could be done to
keep these secret tariffs out. No def
mite plan has been hit upon at late
hour this afternoon.

WASHINGTON April 1.-THE senate
committee on commerce, which has the
river and harbor bill under considera-
ton, devoted today to hearing argu-
ments upon the respective merits Of
San Pedro and Santa Monica to become
deep water harbOr near Los Angeles,
California
The claims of San Pedro were first
presented by a delegation from Los An.
seles consisting of President Patter-
son of the chamber of commerce, A. NJ
Stephens, II. +. Hazard and II. Haw-
good, who were reinforced by Represen-
tative McLachlan aud General Craig
hill. chief engineer of the United States
army. The delegation contended that
San Pedro harbor presented innumer-
able advantages as harbor over Santa
Monica and urged that adequate pro-
vision be made for it in the bill. Gen.
eral Craighill stated that he had made
an inspection of the two placed in 1894,
in connection with the government COM
mission and then concluded and he was
still of the opinion that San Pedro was
the preferable place for a deep water
harbor.
Majors Raymond and Haynes. gov.
ernment engineers and members of the
board which investigated the respective
advantages of the two harbors, also
spoke in favor of San Pedro harbor.
They; said San Pedro had natural in
side harbor that Santa Monica did not
possess. and could be much more cas-
lily defended in case of war than could
Santa Monica.
c. P. Huntington and Engineers z.
l.. Corthell and William Hood presented
the advantages of Santa Monica.
Mr.. Huntington said that in reply to
questions as to the interests of the
Southern Pacific railroad in the two
harbors that the railroad company
came nearer controlling the waters at
San Pedro than at Santa Monica.
Mr.. Huntington continued: While his
company controlled the right of way at
Santa Monica, he would agree that any
number of competing lines should have
access to the harbor in case it should be
selected by the government.
Senator Jones of Nevada. a member
oe the committee and la yely interested
in property at Santa Monica, said that
no company would find difficulty in put
ting in their tracks.
Mr.. Huntington said the Southern Pa
cific company had spent million dol
l9rs trying to make harbor at San
Pedro and had been compelled to aban-
don it. because the place was not suit
able for the purpose, as it had no outer
harbor. 1t was exposed to strong south
east winds which did not affect Santa
Monica.
The engineers favorable for Santa
Monica also contended that San Pedro
was more exposed and showed from the
confgurations of the coast why this was
true.
The committee took no action to in
dicate a preference for either side. Ir
was apparent. however. from the ques-
tions asked that there was division Of
opinion upon the relative merits of the
two places.

Unconstitutional

SAN FRANCISCO. April 1.-THE

exercise his trade on Sunday, after
the noon hour. is unconstitutional and
void The opinion was written by JUS
tlce Henshaw and concurred in by the
entire court except Van Fleet, who con-
ours in the Judgment only.
Ihe act Is regarded by the court as a
plan encroachment on the rights of
citizens and as none the less dangerous
because well meant. The court can.
not see how the law protects labor from
the encroachments of capital and says:
1T is a curious law for the protection
of labor which Furnishes the laborer for
working. Such protection, it de-
clares. would take him from the jaii
to the poorhouse, if carried little far
ther. and 1t cannot see why BARRIERS
should be singled out for protection
while nothing is said about street car
and railway employees and newspaper
workers.
