Latest Plans of the Pro-
moterS of the New
Mission Park.
They Want Acres of Land Along
the Hillsides of the
Warm Belt"
Permanent Organization of Those
Interested in the Plan Has
Been Effect d.

There was meeting Yesterday OF those
most interested in the Mission Park
project, and as result permanent organi-
zation was effected. There was also
discussion of the kind of park to be pro-
vided, should the present movement
prove successful, and gradually tie idea
of geological garden is shaping itself,
and before the promoters are through the
Mission may have its park peopled with
specimens OF wild animals from all over
the world.
The idea is to have place of about 500
acres inclosed within stout iron railing
and to allow the animals to roam at large
almost as in their native state.
A. B. Mcguire objected at first to the
proposition of permanent organization, as
he said it wns better to SO organize at a
mass-meetipg instead of a small meeting
OF the promoters. 1t was decided to go
ahead, however, and so the following per
manent officers were elected:
President, Georre d. Shad dburne: first
vice-president, w. NJ. Bunker; second
vice-president. George Center; secretary.
J. ]. McEwen; recording secretary, J. ii.
Grady; honorary vice -presidents-Mayor
j. ID. Fhelan, c. c. Bemis, Colonel John
O'Byrne, A. B. Magure. Major B. Nc
Kinne, W. III. Grim, William Metzner.
Professor a. P. Tornilli, John A. Buck
George r. Fletcher and F. w. Donrmann
The treasurer will be elected at the ext
meeting.
The president appointed J. ]. McEwen,
Colonel John OBvrne, w. NJ. Bunker T.
V. o Brien and William Metzner a com.
mittee on constitution and declaration of
principles.

ated clubs at the next meeting.

these fish may be illustrated by one of the
official reports. Several years ago the
United States Fish Commissioners placed
thirty mature bass in large pond near
Washington, d. c., and late in the fall the
Old ones were seined out. The little ones
were then taken out and found to number
81, 800. In their natural state the old fish
project their young until they are able
to care for themselves.
1t is the wish of the California commits
sioners to stock the strea ms of the valley
with not only game fish, but food fish,
that will be a feature in the local and in
terror markets within few years.
The first move in this direction was
made by tine commissioners leasing
Colonel George Sperry's large lake at
Alta, known as Alta Lake, in Placer
County. This body of water covers
twenty-seven acres. In this will be placed
seventy-tive full-grown bass, and it is ex-
pected that by the time the lease expires.
in three years, thousands of fish can be-
taken from the lake.
The commissioners have also rented an
artificial body of water one and a half
miles from Niles. This is known as Clear
Lake and it is five acres in size. Into this
Will be put lO5 black hass. These two
lakes will be distributing or shipping
points. The bass to be placed therein will
be taken from the retaining pond at the
Sisson hatchery There the waters are
too cold for propagating purposes for the
bass.
A large number of small mouth black
bass Will be placed in the waters of the
San Joaquin Valley at once These will
be gathered by Deputies Wilson and Cross
In the slnk-holes or pools of the Russian
River and distributed at once.

Preseason Gilbert, the ichthyologist of

in the room of the Fish Commission oners,
Flood building, before q large and en-
thusiastic gathering OF sportsmen.
His subject was the "Fresh-water
Fishes of the Pacific Coast" but the
speaker gave the better part of the even
ing to discussing the peculiarities of the
salmon and trout families.
He said that there were Eve varieties of
the salmon, namely: The king, blueback,
silver, dog and humpback, and that the
blueback salmon, which are very pIenti-
ful in Alaska, do not spawn in the streams.

PROSPERITY VS.. SLAVERY.

An actual money in the hands Of the people
in sufficient amounts to fully exchange the
products of labor means permanent prosperity
to the masses, an elimination Of debt burdens,
the building up of homes for the people from
the savings of their own toll, larger degree of
freedom to the individual, better and more
healthy state of society, less crimes and less
inducement to commit crimes, higher respect
for law, greater trust in the integrity Of the
common people, and purer and more honest
conduct of our public affairs.
On the other hand. If the people are
deprived by legislation or in any other way of
sufficient quantity of money to make an easy
exchange of their products, or if a small class
of the people is given full control of the issue
of money, and with it necessarily the power to
compel the producer to dispose of his products
at forced sale, and consequently at lower
prices, such a course means the destruction of
opportunity to all save the bank corporations
and money loaners.
1t means further: The complete bondage of
the producers because of debt; going back,
instead of progression.
With the slavery of debt and constant
retrogression we would rapidly move towards
the final collapse of the United States as
government of the people. And then to
American vassallage under British and foreign
bond holding supremacy.
1t is against this condition that all
intelligent people revolt. When the great
middle class of people in the United States
come to know that the destruction of our
money of account means the slavery of debt
and final extinction of government Iby the
people; when they find that the placing Of the
issue of our money into the hands Of a small
selfish class means perpetual and constantly
recurring debts, lift be not too late when they
discover this conspiracy against the welfare of
the common people, there will be such a
revolution of sentiment as will resound around
the world. 1t will tell to all nations, that in
order that people may be free and enjoy the
fruits of their own toll, there must be an
unrestricted issue of money by the people in
their own right and under their own control,
uncontaminated and uncontrolled by the
so-called masters Of finance.

THAT GREAT PROSPERITY.

Ex-Governor st. John, of Kansas, in a
letter to the Columbus Press, shows
that the interest on the mortgage debt
of Ohio at this time, not including
railway mortgages, amounts to $35,000,-
600 annually, which consumed the en-.
tire market value of the great corn crop
of 1896, and still left a balance of 81, 900,
600 unpaid. He makes the same com.
parison as to other agricultural products,
and has this to say about wheat:
Just now we hear great deal about
"dollar wheat" but there is no dollar
wheat; and even if there was, Ohio is not
stranger TO it, for away back in the
fifties, with limited means of transporta-
ton, the people depending largely upon
the local markets, the price of wheat
here in Ohio averaged over III per bushel,
while in the sixties it reached AS high as
So. 80 per bushel, and averaged from 1865
to 1872, inclusive, Sl.S4 per bushel, and
even last year wheat reached 81 per
bushel. But now, with a short crop in
all the foreign wheat growing countries,
the producers of Ohio are asked to shout
themselves hoarse over SS cent wheat.
Just as if such thing had never been
heard of before.
The advance in wheat is owing to
famine abroad, and the governor shows
that other products have declined, in
stancing a depreciation this year in hay
most important Crop-to one-halt the
average price for the last forty years. 1t
averaged $l5.l7 per ton from 1885 to
1896, and it is now down to 81 and $3.50.
Further SAYS Governor st. John:
Bradstreet's report, just out, shows
1888 failures from January to Septem-
ber 80, 1897, which, excepting the years
'93 and '96, is the largest number of fail.
ures in like period since 1881, and am
quite sure il is without parallel in our
country's history. The third week in
September showed five more failures
| than occurred the corresponding week
of the "panic year" OF 1898. And still
we are told in the face of all these facts
that general prosperity" has arrived.
| If it be true, it has been so long since he
was here before that the people don't
recognize him. The truth is, there is nc
prosperity except for the money lender,
the monopolies and trusts.
While we ought to be thankful for
small faVors, we have no night to falsfy
Governor st, John shows that there are
offsets in the farmers case that should
be considered, and it all shows that
general prosperity is not here as yet. 1t

THE GREAT AMERICAN.

The appearance of Henry George as q
candidate for mayor has given our local
political canvass not only a nat onal but
a worldwide interest. Because of his
books, which have been translated into
all the modern languages, Georges
name is as familiar to the reading peo-
pie Of France, Germany and Russia as
it is in America and throughout the
British empire. Beginning to write as
a journalist in the far west, he has risen
to position among the very foremost
thinkers of his time. In his efforts to
ascertain the cause Of poverty in the
midst of progress and to prescribe the
cure for the sorest malady from which
civilization suffers, he has not merely
achieved great renown for himself, but
put conservatism everywhere on its de-
fense in the court of reason. To the
poor he is an evangel of a better day;
to the selfish rich he is disturber of
the first magnitude. His aim has been
to transform political economy from a
dismal science devoted to justifying
things as they are into weapon for the
use of those who would improve the lot
of the drudging and ill.requited mass of
mankind. Millions believe he has sue
ceeded in bis task, and his opponents,
however learned, are compelled to
acknowledge his intellectual power and
worthiness of motive.-N. Y. Journal.

United States Vice Consul Greene, at
Autofagasta, Chill, writes the treasury
department at Washington under date
of July 26, 1897: 81 observe that men
coming to the coast bring American
gold. Travellers should be informed that
British sovereigns are better. People
are always ready to buy them at fair
rates of exchange. Except in large com.
mercial centers like Valparaiso, Ameri.
can gold is little known. In the interior
towns its sale is difficult" 1t would be
in the nature OF valuable information at
this time if the gold press would tell
their readers that United States gold
coins are not accepted at their face value
in Chill, but that there is no market for
them even as gold bullion. What about
the statement so freely published by the
gold bugs that our gold coins are worth
their nominal face value the world over?
A U. S. gold eagle is creature of con.
gress and represents the power of that
legislative body to declare a certain
number of grains of gold of a specific
fineness to be worth ten dollars. 1t
passes from hand to hand in the U. s.
for ten dollars without question. 1t is a
representative of the sovereignty of the
U. S. so long as 1t retains the stamp Of
the government. 1t is not money and
is in no sense legal tender for debts

BUSINESS INIT RESTS.

The attempt of Mark Hanna to organize the
business men to save him from defeat has
proven signal failure. Some business men
last year may have believed that it was neces-
sary to elect Mckinley to preserve the nation
from financial disaster, but no man of sense
can be hoodwinked into the belief that the
election of Mark Hanna is necessary to the
preservation of the nations integrity. In fact
business men are coming to view his political
tactics as menace to the morals of our people.
The growth Of political corruption under his
tutOrship is an open shame. 1t is felt in all
walks OF public and private life, 1t has led to
the most fragrant abuse of public trusts. Ithas
encouraged bribery until it isnow looked upon
as political necessity. 1t is a common remark
by Hanna's followers that he deserves support
because of his smsrtnessi refusing to recognize
in his "smartness' the most disgusting viola
tions of public decency and honor.
Astuteness in business or politics is not
always recognized as honorable, Hanna's
success heretofore was not by reason of his
honesty. No one has ever given him certi.
fcate Of good character where he desired sue
cess. His business and political methods are
on par with each other, Honorable business
men recognize his characteristics and are not
disposed to encourage his ambition to succeed
himself. They aim at a correction Of our
public abuses and know that the example set
by Hanna is not in that direction,

This country needs prosperity. The
