Los ANGELES, CAL, July l4-Ac.
cidentnl sen.poisoning by an overdose
OF morphine taken to relieve pain, was
the verdict OF the coroner's Jury as to
the cau,o OF the death OF Nicholas g.
Creole, the mining king who was
iound dead in the garden OF bis resi-
dence GU Pearl street. During tne In.
quest very little was said Of mis- wife
from whom he was separated six
months ago and whose return was
copjectured to be one OF the oauses OF
the depression which 1t said to have
been observed In Crsede Of late.
All questions asked Mt the INQUEST
were evidently intended to bring out
the contention made by the friends OF
the deceased that 1t was entirely by
accident that he took an overdose OF
morphine. The testimony went to
show that Creede nsu occasionally
used morphine to allay neuralgia pains
and that It was entirely possible that
he had accidentally taken too much.
After a short elaboration the jury re.
turned verdict TO that effect.
Cresde's lawyers are unable to say
whether or not no LEFT viii and out
Of respect for him his papers have not
yet been examined. the BODY Will be
placed in vault tomorrow anu will
probably be- sent east later.

Cause of Low Wages.

By studying the history Of the land
system of the world we find in all quart
ers OF the globe that the land was once
considered common property, the anne
as the sunshine, the air and the water.
We find that during the period OF free
land men were free; that as the system
of private ownership in land grew, free
men djssappearedand their places were
filled with slaves. We find that it was
during the free land period that ancient
nations were in their glory, and that
their decline commenced, in every in
stance, after the land had been monop-
olized. In England in the fourteenth,
fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, land
was practically free, and during that
time the lawmakers Of England were
occupied principally in enacting laws to
regulate wages and to punish laborers
for refusing to work for the wages fixed
by law. Even the death penalty was
not sufficient to keep down wages. but
finally English parasites discovered the
cause of high wages, and then the land
question and taxation claimed the atten-
ton Of the lawmakers, and restrictive
laws for the regulation Of wages were

instead OF going for the physician lie
went to the store and secured a bottle
Of it. His wife did not approve Of Mr..
Rowland's purchase at first, but never
