class, led by Gonzales, who would vote
for the devil himself if he would destroy

Mr.. Evans, proceeding decried the
talk of Irby in opposition to the suf-
frage clause. In the midst of it he was
interrupted by some one in the crowd
asking about rebates. Shaking his
finger in the direction from whence the
inquiry came, Mr.. Evans told his inter
locuter 'to shut up" that he had heard
those dirty lies last year. They had
been disproved and he did not propose
to have them told on him any more in
the future. They were only harbored
in the breasts of such cattle as his ques-
toner and if he did not like his answer
he could slump it." Mr.. Evans, being
thus aroused, proceeded to denounce
the newspaper association and declared
they published nothing but the jokes Of
the speeches and left the discussion Of
the real issue out.

materials, declared Mr.. Evans. and Nc
Laurin favored neither. Free raw ma
terials, such as wool, sugar, iron were

turers had free wool which would make
cheaper goods and the farmer could
therefore buy them for less. "You will
have to repudiate VIM. J. Bryan or Nc

The proposition to erect in Golden Gate
Park monument to Abraham Lincoln,
the greatest American who ever lived, is
commanding the attention of the most
eminent men of the United States.
Letters commencing the patriotic move
ment come in every days mail TO w. w.

1nent League. The responsive messages
suggest th at it is eminently proper that a
monument to The memory of the martyr
should be reared in Golden Gate Park as a
lesson to incoming visitors fIom oLher

M. Charley. manager and impresario OF
the French Opera Company that just fin

terday in merry whlrl of French pro-
family and legal entanglements that will
not be settled until he returns.
Orders of arrest, attachments, garnish-

as cherries in the season, and M. Charley
had the worst of the argument.
1t all arose, according to the members
OF the company who made life a legal
burden TO the leader Of the troupe. through
Chariey's way of doing business. They
say that they were employed tor season
that was to end in San Francisco. and
that their contracts read to that effect.
When the engagement was about to and
the 1mpresario announced that he had
dated the company for a trip to Mexico,
and asked the singers to go with him to
the City of Mexico for five days season.
Some of the mem bers of the troupe were
willing to go, but others held back and
stated that they wanted to 60 nome.
They called M. Charley's attention to the
fact that their contracts called for e1-
penscs and railroad fare to their startin e
points and demanded the fultillment OF
The contracts.
Then the impresario resorted to strata

pronts OF a journey TO the Mexican capi-

until the day before this troupe was to
depart.
Then the singers became desperate and
decided on extreme measures. They took
out an order for the arrest of M. Charley
charging that he was about to leave the
State to defraud his creditors, sued oul
attachments against the paraphernalia OF
the company and prepared to battle fol
their rights in the courts.

extending to the monument plan is so
widespread and sincere that the success
OF the scheme is already assured
Whatever may be said or written of
other Presidents and however much the
achievements of great military leaders
may be extolled, the plain simple fact is
obvious that Lincoln is the ideal Ameri-
