SPANISH FLAG MOBBED.
Mischieyous Boy Gets His Homc Besieged
During His Absence.

During His Absence.
The family Of John N. Strotz of Kan
sas City narrowly escaped mobbing the
other day by crowd Of angry neigh
bors, who resented the presence Of n
Spanish flag floating from the flagstaff
over the Strotz home. 1t seems that the
mischievous small boy of tho family
climbed to tho roof the other morning,
and, after flying the Spanish flag from
the staff, went to school.
Soon men and boys began to gather,
until 1000 of them stood before the
house, bowling and cursing. The women
of the house were so badly frightened
that they could do nothing. Just as the
mob was about to attack the house in
force strong detachment Of police and
a detail OF men from the Fifth regiment
appeared. The crowd was forced back,
whilo policeman scaled the roof and
brought down the flag. IL twas promptly
burned, and the mob dispersed. ST.

ILLINOIS BOY PATRIOT.

Colonel Dan Ray, who, as everybody
knows is Senator Cullom's political
secretary, recently received a letter
which illustrates the patriotism Of
young America. II comes from boy In
Illinois who wants to 20 to war, but
says: "As You know, am handicapped

ONE ON YOU

1t is gratifying to see two rabid
Democratic papers like the Sacra-
1nento Bee and the Stockton Mail use
a little decency III the midst of their
unscrupulous and vindictjve attacks
upon the party OF protection and
honest money.-San Jose Mercury.
The editor and proprietor of the
San Jose Mercury is II Chas. NJ.
Shortridge, the man who i'll 1896 was
editor and manager of the San Fran
cisco Call. On Saturday, May, 2,
1890, this same Cuas. Nj. ShOrtrldge :
t~elephoned from the Call office to the
editor of the Bee, declaring that the
Call intended to make a great tight
for the endorsement by the then con-
ing Republican State Convention OF
the free and unlimited coinage OF Sill
yer at I6 to 1, and asking hat the
Bee-vhich had made hal doctrine
the great battle Of its Career-send
the Call down a lot of material at
once. among which were wanted a Sc
lected number of the editorials of this
pape upon that subject and clippings
from the many able communications
which the Bee had published thereon.
In closing the conversation over the
telephone, Shortridge vehemently de-
clared that there wonld be no back
down on the silver fght-that he was
IN it heart and soul, for it was right.
Immediately thereafter the Call
blossomed out with the most enthusi-
astic editorials for the free and un-
limited coinage of silver at the ratio
Of IS to I. It stuck out straight from
the shoulder for the ve1y doctrine
which it now condemns, and it most
ardently endorsed and accepted as its
own the following financial platform
put forth by the Bee:
1.-The opening of the MINIS of the
United States to the free and unlimit-
ed coinage of silver.
2-The payment of bonds of the
United States in accordance with the
letter and spirit of the contract-"in
coin of the United States''-a silver
dollar to be OF equal and exact value,
in the payment of that or any other
debt with a gold dollar.
3-The passage of a law making 1t
a felony, punishable by fine and in
prisonment, for any nan within the
Jurisdiction of the United States tC
depreciate the face value of any money
stamped with the faith and credit Of
this Nation.
And the mai responsible for those
editorials, and for that endorsement o.
The Bees financial platform, Charles
NJ. Shortridge, is the very man Wa
is now abusing the Bee for still stand
ing manfully by a principle which
Shortridge ~shamefully deserted les:
than two months after he had cham
pioned it with so vociferous a "blowi1
OF de tru1npets and a beatin' of d.
drums. "-Sacrament0 Bee.
