MI. Chas. Broecker's Barn at Pleasant
Hill Laid in Ashes.
Fire destroyed the barn of Mr..
Charles Broecker at Pleasant
Hill at an early hour Wednesday
night. The barn and contents,
consisting of large quantity of
fodder, hay and cottonseed, were
entirely consumed.
The fire originated from an I'M
known cause and spread with
such rapidity that contiguous
building were saved only with
great difficulty by the prompt
and efficient aid of neighbors
hastily gathered.
Mr.. Otto Rodenbeck, one of
the neighbors, saw the fire, and
mounting his horse started for
the conflagration. When in a
few hundreds yards of the fire
and riding at full speed the bit
broke and his horse became IN
and finally fell with
him, inflicting severe injuries.

In speaking of the organizs-
ton of a Silver Republican party
in California, and the protest
against such an organization by
some Republicans, the Sacra-
mento Bee remarks: eff the
Republican party can be brought

was led astray by Hanna and
the gold bugs, we'll and good
the Silver Republicans will be
more than content to win the
fight for the people under the old
banner. If, however, that can
not be done, and the Republican
leaders still continue to keep the
party away from the straight and
narrow path, then it becomes the
duty of the Silver Republicans to
fight the battles of silver under
some other flag. The cause of
silver is paramount over all, and
its true friends will welcome any
assistance which contributes
thereto.

American form Oh the OLD mon
archical doctrine of "the diyin
n right of kings" and did not los
a its acceptance and force entirel
/ until after the doctrine of democ
racy; or the right of self-govern
ment in the people was promul
gated to the world by GU
, Declaration of Independence. 1t
: however, still remains in mon
arches of Europe, under tn
modified name of ''the heriditar,
rights of kings, which is prse
+ tically quite as bad. In thi'
, country the same thing hobs W
, its head and is called ''the credi
Of the government, all these
names, being Of the exact same
family.
Who or what constitutes the
government? The President,
Cabinet, and the tens of thous-
ands of deadbeats, who in one
way and. another perform the
frivilous functions of public life
and live by great salaries from
the public purse. Yes, these
fellows are called s'The Govern
ment," and in our case, the cen
ter head is at Washington City.
They have great ceremonies,
idiotic but serious formalities,
| diplomatic monkeyism, grave
looks and red tape eircumlocu-
ton, but behind it all, the sharp
est rascality of the country. In
other words, it is deadhead
royalty under another name,
whose "credit" must be kept
gilt edged if every child in the
land should grow up a beggar.
Yes, the people must support it
if their own credit ends at the
poor house and be soothed by be-
ing called patriotic; but as the
South is a little behind on gov
eminent favor it does not look at
it that way.
This whole sentimental idea of
government credit being superior
to that of the people is unjust
and undemocratic; inviting the
government to Cypress rather
than to protect the people. AS a
fact, there should be no distinc-
ton between credit and the well
fare of the government and the
people, nor is the obligation
greater on the people to support
the government, than for the lat
ter to support the people.
A strong, prosperous people
always make strong rich gov
eminent, but this last does not
always make rich people; the
monarchies of Europe illustrate !
this fact. There, the govern
ments are rich and strong, while
the masses are pauperized, just
from this idea of the first duty of
the people being to support the
government no reciprocal
obligations.
Under no circumstances should
the government commit a wrong
on the people, as it did in the
instance of destroying the silver
half of the currency-with no
other cause for it than obedience
to the monarchies of Europe, and
for enhancing the riches of the
great capitalists to the great
damage of the people. What
was the necessity of the govern
nent for selling bonds to get
gold 1t had no obligations in
either bonds or currency payable
n gold alone; but when it de-
nonetized silver, payment fell on
gold; as there is not hundredth
BART of enough gold to do the
business of the world, it at once
an object of speculation.
