patriotic. The Republican party con
fesses 10 the resolution above quoted that
II is nnpstriotic, in favor Of the rich

the value Of money aud OF bonds and de.

We thank the Republican party for
pleading guilty and acknowledging that
it is opposed to everything it has advo
Gated in the last thirty yeare in regard to
finance. We are glad that out OF it's own
mouth the republican party is condemned
as falsifier. No condemnation could
have been equal to the condemnation
which the Republican party by Its au-
thorlzed agents has pronounced, and the
American people will never believe them
again when they say they are bimetal'

will have to get as monometallsts, as

THE SALOON ORDINANCE.

As it now appears North Yakima is to
have new saloon to be located on the
avenue opposite Dooley's place. As yet
no application has been made to the
council for license but We are informed
that the petition required under the new
ordinance has been secured and that a
license will be asked for at the next
council meeting. This is the first appli-
cation to be affected by the ordinance
passed some months ago, excepting the
effort that was made at the time to move
q saloon into the Schlofeldt block.
The ordinance is an excellent one. and
the present council is entitled to great
credit for having passed it. Many will be
surprised to know that it's main feature,
slightly modified, was the suggestion of q
saloon man. 1t requires petition to &C.
company an application for license
sisned by the owners or agents OF ma
iority of the property fronting on both
saloon is to be located. This enables
property holders to protect tenants whose
business would be injured by the proxim
ity OF noisy saloon. 1t also creates an
incentive for man in the liquor business
to run quiet place that he may the more
easily get his license renewed at the prop
err time.
man who pays the city $1,000 for a
license to sell liquor is entitled to
conduct his business, ss long as he
obeys the law, without hindrance at the
hands OF anybody. The ordinance in
question was not passed as blow at the
liquor business, the city being partner
must act honorabiy in the matter, but it
was placed on the books to protect other
business interests which it promises to
do very nicely.

Hon. Il. A. Dague makes the following
a well-known magazine:
THE fifty seven savings banks of Cali
fornia, are reaping annually harvest of
eight per cent interest on sum equal to
nearly four times the whole amount of
money in circulation in the state" He
presents figures and arguments as follows
20 bear out his statement:
According to United States Treasury
reports there Is IN circulation in this coun-
try $2l per capita. No. as the popus-
ton of California is | $50, 900 that would
give us in this state twenty eight millions
OF dollars of money of all kinds.
There are 81 savings banks in the state
in which last year 100 600 persons de-
posted their money. The figures given
below are copied from a tabular state
ment issued by the State bank commits
sioners, made up by that official body
from written reports made to them by
the banks.
"On March >, 1896, the Indebtedness OF
the people to the 81 California savings
banks was as follows:

CASE OF s9MOON EYES"
Ships Crew Blind With Moon Blink
Reach Port

Philadelphia, July s.-The overdue Brit
ish bark John CANDLES, Captain Wielke,
from Sourbaya, Java, with a cargo of
sugar, arrived here a few days ago after
a voyage fraught with terrible dangers.
About May %, while on the equator, the
members of the crew became affected in
a most peculiar manner by the fumes aris-
ing from the cargo. They lost their sight
a night and could see only in the sun
shine. Captain Wielke says the men fell
all over each other at night and he feared
that al any moment all hands might be
bereft of sight.
While lying down in this region under
the powerful rays of the tropical sun
the cargo began to steam and vapors
arose from it so a S to blacken all the paint
work and render life on board almost IN
bearable As the days wore on the greater
became the heat, and all hands were be-
ginning to lose their sight. At first only
two or three of the men were affected this
way, but gradually it worked on until
everyone on board, excepting captain
WieIke. complained of not being able to
see. Their eyes became terribly inflamed
and they lost all appetite. Affairs on
board became most serious
The officers believe that the fumes aris-
ing from the cargo caused the difficulty,
and are afraid that they have been per-
manenty injured. One man was sent to
the hospital yesterday Immediately the
vessel was berthed. He is almost stone
blind and slight hopes are entertained that
his sight viii be restored.
The affection of the eyes from which the
crew suffered is believed by. .seafartng. men
to be what is known moon blink"
Some years ago a ship arrived in New
York from a deep water voyage with
her crew similarly affected.

$4,000 FOR A DIVORCE.
Wedding Kept Secret a Quarter of a
Century.

New York, July S.-Under an agree
ment that he should pay his wife $685.
OO0 in lieu of all claims, John Peck, of
Haverstraw, N. Y, has been granted
an absolute divorce The announce
ment will recall the marital difficulties
which led to the divorce and caused
several sensational incidents, among
them a suit for $4,000 brought against
a wealthy widow by Mrs. Peck.
Peck Is a member of the firm Of Peck
Brothers, brfckmakerS, of HaverStraw
and manager of the wealthy Scott es-
tate. Though he was believed until a
few years ago to be a single man, lit
igation over some property disclosed
the fact that in October 1869, he had
married Elizabeth Gardiner, then en-
plOyed as a seamstresS in his father
family, in Rutherford, N. J. Four chill
dren had been born to them, yet they
had not lived openly together during
nearly 25 years, and the marriage was
a WelI-kept secret.
HaverstraW was astOunded in April,
1897, by the news that Mrs. Peck had
brought suit against Mrs Carrie q.
Scott widow of a member of the firm of
Scott, Bennett & Rowan. She charged
that Mrs. Scott had alienated her huS-
bands affections, and demanded $4,000
damages. Mrs. Scott had appointed
Peck her agent in the estate and their
business relations necessarily brought
them much together Public sympathy
seemed to be with Mrs. Scott, who was
most estimable woman. She was pros
trated by the notoriety resulting from
the suit, but protested that the charges
were utterly unfOunded-
1t became known meanwhile that
Peck had previously served his wife
with papers in a suit for absolute di-
vorce on the ground of abandonment.
The case against Mrs. Scott was never
tried, and the interest subsidized, until
September, 1897, when Peck was ar
rested on his wife's charge of abandon
ment This case did not reach the trial
stage.
Peck established a legal residence in
North Dakota and pushed his suit. Tes-
timony was taken before referee, and
the abandonment charge against his
wife was sustained despite her general
denial. Then negotiations were opened
between the opposing counsel, and 1t
was agreed that Peck should pay his
wife $25 600 in consideration of which
she would not oppose the suit further.
