The single gold standard newspapers are
making great deal out OF the report
that the Japanese government is prepar-
ing 20 mint gold coins and redeem the
Bank OF Japan notes after September 80
in gold. This Is pointed to as proof Of
the fact that that country has gone to u
gold basis. The statement is very in
geniousiy worded, and is purposely in
tended To msiead those who have not
investigated the subject. Despite its al
legged conversion to the gold standard, the
japanese still have what might be termed
a cheap dollar for which / t pays its cheap
labor. It's mintsgc of gold will not change
the labor condition there in the least,
nor viii 1t have any material effect on
its fiscal policy, for the reason that in
japan the gold coin is measured by the
value OF the silver coin, and the silver
coin is not measured by the value OF the
gold coin, as in this country. II makes
al the difference in the world, but the
effort is being made to show that Japan
has gone In Ito the min tage OF gold as we
understand it in this country.

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

There has been lingering suspicion In
Washington that Major DICK, secretary
of the national Republican committee, was
something OF a politician. He came here
preceded by the sound OF brass bands and
With all the eclat of a brilliant and shrewd
tnanipulator of men and conventions, but
any man who will he so reckless as TO give
delegates to q PopuIist convention expense
checks on the bank where the national
committee has its immense campaign fund
or deposit, and sign his own name tothose
checks, ought to retire from the control
OF the affairs of great committee and
go inso retirement until he acquires a few
small grains of good, old-fashioned po-
Iiticai horse sense.
That's luSt what brother Dick, he or tne
curly locks and hushy head, did. Inc ex-
pose vas made before the Popuiis6 con-
vention in Columbus was over, and the
secret reasons why that convention re-
fused to merge With the Democrats is as
plain now as a. pike staff. There was
great furore in that convention about the
independence or the middle-of the road
Populists and the great fight that was
about to be made for q principle that must
not be sacrificed. Some little stock was
taken in this declaration until the ex-
istence OF the national committee checks
was known. Not satisfied with buying
delegates to Republican conventions, Han
na is using his, only instrument OF power
in the other parties. The fact OF 1t is
that there is now serious talk OF taking
Mr.. Dick before the grand jury on
charge OF attempted bribery. 1t would
be pity to deprive this beautiful capital
of the presence of Major Dick, but ttlooks
as If a little wholesome object lesson
out in Ohio would be precious good
thing. The chief actor In this brace

TO SELL CALIFORNIA FRUITS.
Efforts Being Made by the State Board Of
Trade.
Sacramento to Help in liaking
Dried Fruit Exhibit at
Hamburg.

Hon. J. A. Filcher, Manager or the
State Board of Trade, appeared peIore
the Supervisors yesterday ana asked
that the county give $3.50 toward the
expense of an exhibit of California
products that the State Board OF Trade
desired to make at the Hamburg Ex-
position in May next.
Two years ago, said Mr.. Ficher not
over two carloads of our dried and can
ned fruits We're sold in that market, but
last wear. by good and efficient work,
$50 carloads We're disposed of. There Is,
he said, a population sof sixty mlllloil
people tributary to Hamburg, ana IL
they knew how wholesome and cheap
California dried fruits were there Would
be a great market there.
If, he said, these sixty million peo-
pie consumed but one pound each OF
our dried fruit. that alone would give
a market for one-half OF CallfQfnla >
entire fruit production. The only way
to get our fruit into their hands is TO
demonstrate to them that 1t can De
had in abundance and at prices they
can afford to pay These prices would
be profitable to the growers.
The State Board of Trade would need,
said Mr. F'iicher, at least So,oO0, and II
was a. business proposition that fruit
producing counties should agree to
without hesitation.
Chairman Jenkins informed Mr.. Fill
cher that he was satisfied the members
of the board believed in using such
means to open up markets for the
farmers and orehardists, but he did not
know of any fund from which the sum
asked could be legally appropriated
For one, he was willing to canvass his
own district for private subscriptions
for the object aimed at. He believed
he could raise one-fifth of the sum
asked and thought his colleagues could
do as we'll among their respective con-
stituencies.
Supervisor Morrison said the board
would of course have to be governed
by the advice of the District Attorney
50 far as the use of public money was
concerned, for however meritoriOus the
proposition might be the members of
the board did not relish the idea of
having to employ lawyers to defend
them against the unjust accusations of
Grand Juries.
What you want to know, Mr.. Fiji

or not the State Board of Trade can
get $3.50 from Sacramento to
aid in making a proper exhibit at the
Hamburg Exposition. Is that it?"
That's the idea responded Mr.. FIJI
cher.
Well" said the Supervisor, II think
you may rely on the money. If We
should find that we cannot appropriate
it from any particular fund we will go
out, as we have done in other cases
and collect it,
Mr.. Filcher thanked the members of
the board for their expressed desire to
help the work along and retired.
