SENATOR WHITE AND SILVER
COINAGE

Senator White of California has an
article on the prospects of free coinage
in the current number of the Silver
Knight Watchman, in which the cause
of the peoples money is championed
with energy and determination. Sena-
tor White quotes the official figures L.
refute the charge that the foreign VOTE
went to Bryan, and that Mr. Mckinley
was elected by the native American el4-
ment OF the total vote cast for Mr..
Bryan, 2,325, coo were cast by foreign
4O35, 600 native white Americans. Mr..
Mckinley received $500 votes from
foreign born or of foreign family voters,
against 3,O75, 600 native white Americans
and 425.0G0 negroes.
This establishes the fact that 60 per
cent Of the foreign vote was cast for
Mckinley and "a per cent of the native
white went to Mr.. Bryan. Senator
White got his figures from Mr. Walter
Wellman, a gentleman who is thor
ouehly capable and altogether reliable.
Events since the election convince Sen
ator White more firmly than ever that
there can he no general and lasting
prosperity until silver is remonetized,
and it may be said that he voices the
sentiments Of all advocates of free sill
yer coinage. The senator shows con-
clusively that but for the enormous e&-
penditure of money Wrongfully by Mr.
McKinley's campaign managers, the
cause of silver, which is the cause Of
the great producing class, would have
tliumphed, and he believes that it vii

results are Indifferent. Politics, how

total' system is in vogue in Alameda
county. The Herald does not believe
in any such farming system. But II
we were to have such system the Ala
media rate would be the proper one, viz:
S26, 900, and not the rate proposed in the
county office holders bill now before
the legislature. The office holders bill
puts the rate for Los Angeles at $4,000
a year for the assessor. The assessor
claims to save $4,000, because the office
cost last year 81, 600. They do not con-
slider the $4,000 in maps, which is an un-
usual extra. No saving is intended.
The only question among the county
patriots is as to who has the political
plunder. Now the supervisors have
some. Under the new regime the diff
ferent county officers are to have the
plunder and gain fortunes in a single

The following article by Senator Ste

Stewards paper, The Silver Knight
Watchman. on Saturday last:
The genuine bime tallist is not at all

silver coinage provisions plainly au
thorized and by implication required by
the constitution, extremely regretted the
defeat OF the silver forces in the late
campaign they are, nevertheless. far

Vocated the peoples cause in the midst
Of the struggle, The pimetallic masses
have lost none Of their strength. They
are not ashamed Of the $6,360,G00 electors
who voted for Mr. Bryan. Mr.. Walter
Wellman. who has lately analyzed the
election returns, informs us that the
Bryan strength was made up as fol-
lows:
Foreign bern or of foreign fam
ily..... ..,................... 90, ,c00
Native white American .........1, 600
He estimates that the Mckinley vote
vas thus composed:
Foreign born or Of foreign fam

Native white American. .3,015,0 600
He thus establishes that 60 per cent
of the foreign vote went to Mckinley and
81 per cent of the native vote to Bryan,
Certain prominent gentlemen, whose
views of their abilities do entire justice
to themselves, have pointed to the want
Of education in several of the states
casting a majority for free silver; but
when it is remembered that the illiteracy
complained of was almost wholly rep
resented by elements in those states
which supported the gold standard, the
result suggests an entirely different con-

The reference in Town Talk is said
to he to Senator Simpson. The senator
seems to have carried his patriotic
thrift into his family rather than into
his party. It is said that several other
Southern California legislators have not
neglected to put their family members
into the public crib for feed. Simpson

was one Of three who opposed Senator
Stratton's bill to reduce the cost and

principal feature is that appeals shall
not lie. nor new trials be granted, on

The city council yesterday repealed
the ordinances providing for the office

distinctly a step backward The or
dinances repealed are identically the
same as those which have been in effect
in St. Louis for fifteen years, ard whare
they have been found to be a success.
as has also been the case in almost every
city of any size in the United States.
These ordinances are a protection not
only to the engineers themselves, but
to steam users and property owners in
general. Just what opposition there was
to the ordinances did not develop before
the council. but if, as has been suggested,
they are not exactly suitable to local
conditions. or if the incumbent of the
position Of boiler inspector is not sat

be made without sweeping the laws of
the books. 1t may be stated that there
has not been a single accident within the
city limits caused by an incompetent
engineer since the ordinances have been
in force, and this fact should be sutli-
cient to cause the mayor to think twice
before he affiXes his signature to the or

years from frequenting the streets at

of the Womans Christian Temperance
union appeared before the council ana

sented, it appears that similar or
dinances are in effect in over 200 cities
and towns in the United States, and in
every case the police authorities report
that there has been a large decrease in
crime among children since 1t
went into effect. The ordinance,
as printed in The Herald Sun
day morning, is that in effect in Omaha
and Lincoln, Neb., copies of which were
furnished the councilmen by the ladies,
and on the lines of which they ask that
the ordinance for Los Angeles be
framed, except that the age limit be
raised from Is to 16 years. Intelligently
administered, such an ordinance could
certainly do no harm, but might be pro-
ductive of much good. 1t is at least worth
fair trial, and if found unsatisfactory,
it could easily be amended or repealed.
