He says that there were no miners az
S.. Michael except those who arrived there
on the North Fork. and few others who
expected TO go up the river this fan. The
report Of the few who came down the river
was anything but discourag.ng. though the

ENGLAND FOR SILVER CON-
FERENCES

1t is gleefully announced by the ad-
ministration organs that Great Britain
will join in a conference on the subject
of the use Of silver as money of inter-
national measure Of value The British
government is always accommodating
SO far as entering into negotiations is
concerned. She is phenomenal negotia-
tor, but never fails to refuse consent
to what is to her disadvantage. There
have been three conferences, and all
have been failures; what the fourth
may turn out to be, If one is held, time
will disclose
If anything results which will be fa-
vorable to silver, who should have the
credit for it? Certainly not those who
have resolved against free silver coinage
for this country unless foreign coun-
tries consent. The six million men who
voted for free silver coinage regardless
of the action of foreign nations consti-
tuted the power that has real influ-
ence with the gold nations of Europe

ference committee, and the wine men
are correspondingly happy. In the light
Of what some men regard as important
to the wine and raisin industry. Senator
White did great and successful work for
the wine and fruit industry of the state.
He worked early and late for what he
was assured would inure to the best in
terest Of the state, and won the respect
of his colleagues and the gratitude of
those in whose behalf he worked SO tire
lessly. Senator White has taken high
position in the senate and if he is re-
elected he will probably go to the head
of the senate finance committee, these
things not going by partisan favoritism
in the senate. 1t would be great thing
for California to have a senator at the
head Of this most important committee
Of the upper house.
Senators White and Perkins worked
hand in hand in all matters Of legisla-
tion affecting California and they met
and overcame more obstacles Of a seri-
GUS character than any Of their constit-
uents will ever appreciate. The Repub-
lican majority in the senate, under the
leadership of Aldrich, who is an i'm
porter of fruits, and Allison, who is
granger Republican verging on free
trade, was set against granting Califor-
mia products protection proportionate to
the favors extended the industries OF
the Atlantic coast. Senators White and
Perkins combated this tendency to deal
unjustly by the west, and by the aid of
Senator Jones and others finally COM
PEELED Aldrich to make fair concessions.

satisfied with its present representation

ADVERTISING IN AUGUST

August is proverbially a dull month
in nearly all branches of retail
business. There are several ways
of getting over the dull season.
One merchant will stop advertising;
discharge all the help he can pos
sibly get along without, insist upon the
same relative profits that he gets in
busy times, forgetting that nimble
sixpence is better than a slow shilling;
keeping expenses of all kinds at the very
lowest notch; really trying it would al
most appear to see how little business
he can do. When the dull season is over
the merchant who pursues this policy
usually finds himself with a large un-
saleable stock on hand and correspond
ingly small capital with which to take
advantage of the opportunities Of the
fall season.
Another merchant considers stock
| turned quickly over at small profit, or
even at cost, in the dullest times, as SO
much cash, to be had if it is gone after
in the right way. The best way to turn
it over is to advertise. The best medium
is the daily papers, because the great
majority of the retail buyers have come
to look upon the newspaper as the mid
dleman" between the merchant and the
public. So this merchant advertises
literally and attractively all through the
dull season. He knows that while many
people are out of the city the majority

TRUSTS IN AUSTRIA

The Austrian government Is dealing
with the trust question. and its course
and policy are In such direct contrast
to those Of the administration In this
country that they are worthy Of some
description.
The Austrian government has intro
duced in the reichsrath a bill affecting
the trusts, that will probably be acted
upon some time next autumn. It was
inspired by a report that the domestic
producers and refiners of raw sugar had
combined in trust for the purpose
Of raising the price of sugar $40 a ton,
and that similar combinations had been
formed in the petroleum and other i'm
Of formation.
The bill introduced by the government
imposes conditions regarding produc-
tion, the fixing of the sale price, and the
restriction of the sale of sugar, brandy,
beer. mineral oils and other articles, and
prescribes heavy fines and imprisonment
up to three months for the infringement
of any of its clauses.
All the trusts mentioned are placed un-
der state control. to be looked after by
the minister of finance, who, after TAX
ing expert opinion, may prohibit the for
nation of any trust whatever in Austria,
or any union with trusts in other coun-
tries All trusts are legally obliged to
submit to the minister every contract,
and every resolution they may adopt
The minister may examine all the books
and correspondence of trust and take
the evidence on oath Of each member
and of each official of the trust. And last,
but not least, he can dissolve an already
existing trust, as we'll as forbid the for
nation of new one.
among the trusts in this most trust
ridden of all countries The industrial
path, from Maine to California, and from
the Gulf of Mexico to Puget sound would
be strewn with octopus corpses and
wrecks of monopoly. No honest man
will deny that effective laws regulating
and restricting the gigantic trust evil in
the United States are sorely needed.
And the political party that, having the
power and the opportunity, fails to act
in the interests of the people against
this evil incurs an unenviable RESPONSE
bility.

SHALL BACHELORS BE COM
PEELED To'MARRY

There has been from time to time for
a good many years great deal of talk,
mostly of an alleged humorous nature,
about compelling bachelors who have
reached a certain age to either marry or
pay tax yearly. By those who uphold
this plan matrimony is held to be an
obligation, or at least duty. Since, even
in this new age of the new woman, the
proposition to marry remains with the
man and not with the woman, some new
plan of promoting matrimony must be
devised, it being assumed that the un-
married woman, like Barkis, is willin'.
That such an assumption is not un-
warranted from controversial point of
view, is shown by the fact that Miss
Charlotte Smith, a lady who has
achieved some newspaper notorety as
an eccentric reformer, is publicly de-
manding a law compelling men to marry
There are, she declares, a million or
more women in the United States who
are at present unable either to get hus-
bands or to support themselves That
this unfortunate condition exists is due,
she says, to labor-saving machinery and
an excess Of women in all but four states
of the Union.
1t is hardly safe, neither is it worth
while for the men, be they married or
unmarried, to enter into a controversy
over the proposition of Miss Charlotte
Smith. They would only get themselves
into trouble. The matter may safely be
left in the hands of the women, as the
pected that the advanced and rapidly
increasing class known as the bachelor
girls will take up the cudgels in defense
Of voluntary single -blessedness And
there is probably not to exceed
one, or call it two, so as to
be on the safe side, of the million
unmarried women so affectingly de-
scribed by Miss Smith, who would not
Indignantly repel any insinuation that
they could not get married if they were
desirous of changing their condition
through matrimony.
The social problem is perhaps the most
of the multifarious issues that
confront the thinking portion of the hu-
man race today; and 80 long as human
nature remains as it is, it will be most
difficult to solve it in any of it's phases
by legislation that seeks to restrict the
will of the individual, particularly in
those matters that are not supposed to
be the concern Of the general public.
