The Governors friends say that they Will

OEEGON'S ANIMAL.
People of Jupiter Inlet Thought at
First She Was IA spaniard.
From the Atanta O. Journal.

From the Atlanta (Ga0 Journal.
Mr.. c. W. Carlin, son of Capt. Charles
R. Carlin of the United States Life Saw
ing Service at Jupiter. Fla. arrived in
Atlanta this morning from that place.
MI Carlin says he was one of the first
men TO meet the United States battleship
Oregon when it arrived in Jupiter inlet
port after its 1900 miles cruise OF the high
seas.
Mr.. Carlin was seen by a representa-
tive Of the journal today, ana in telling
Of the arrival of the big man-of-war in
the Florida town, he said:
When the big vessel hove in sight of
the town many prepared to retreat TO
places of safety, thinking that The imm snse
snip was q Spanish man-of-war, and WAS
making its way TO the town for the Iur-
pose Of bombardng ana laying it in
waste. CONSERVATION and pandemonium
reigned supreme aud the populace was
panic-stricken for a time. Presently eight
members Of the crew with an officer were
detached from the vessel In a small boat
and roWed into port. l was one of the
first men to go out and meet them. When
I reached the boat L was informed py the
officer that the men were members OF the
battleship Oregon. 1 Immediately com
municated the Information to several of
the citizens and in a few minutes the
news had spread throughout Jupiter In
let. Fear gave way to joy. the people
hocked to the harbor, flags, banners, and
handkerchiefs foated to the breezes and
cheer after cheer went up from the
threats of hundreds. The populace was
hysterical over the news
THE officer and members of the crew
were escorted 20 my fathers home where
they wre entrtained until 3 o'clock in
the morning, when the orders from WasA-
ington to proceed to Key West were re-
ceived
1T was memorable scene and one
which I shall never forget The people
brought a stock Of vegetables and fresh
deilcacies for the sailors and the men
discarded and distributed out to the
throng many little souvenirs TO preserve
as mementOes.

SIMPLY SENSATIONAL

Nothing has happened since the close
of the last national campaign to ALLEVIATE
the great body of the Democratic party
from it's heroic chieftain in that notable
contest. On the contrary, time has only
served to vindicate the wisdom of his
selection, and to strengthen the convlc-
ton that he is the best equipped man in
the country to lead the same hosts to
victory in the next and final struggle of
the masses against the classes. 1t is alb
New York Journal will have the effect
of stampeding the people at this juno
ture. Whatever exigency has arisen
within the ranks of the party in the
question in an effort to turn down Mr..
Bryan, in the interest of New York
representative upon the next national
ticket, the attempt will prove abortive.
The organization there has about all
it can safely be entrusted with in keep
ing it's ranks closed up for the next ad-
vance, without undertaking to change
the trend of sentiment throughout the
country. With a very formidable and
threatening schism in its own ranks,
produced by the division of opinion on
the money question, it is scarcely in
position to dictate to the party in the
west and southwest, especially at this
early day, as to who the standard-bearsr
in 1900 shall be- The importance of the
electoral vote of New York cannot be
disputed, but it will not be assured by
any effort of the Democracy there to die
tate to the country its choice of presi-
Dental candidate.

The Chronicles Blunder

The Stockton Mall of the 18th inst. says
The San Francisco Chronicle has
come to the defense of the ridiculous
bulletin No. 8, after the department of
agriculture itself has made acknowl-
edgment of gross error. The Chronicle
asserts that the Mail and other critics
are all wrong that they did not know
how to read the report, and that the
report is substantially correct. AS it
happens the Chronicle is talking
through its headgear.
The Mail then quotes from The Herald
it's rejoinder on the defense of the afore
said bulletin No. 6, and concludes as fol-
lows:
The Herald's statements are correct.
They are substantially statements
made by the Mail in the criticism of
this extraordinary government docu-
mcnt, which excited the astonishment
and immediate action of the secretary
of agriculture, when that criticism
was submitted to him by Senator
White and Representative De Vries.
We fail to see the animus of the
Chronicle in coming lamely to the de-
fense of a document which has been
apologized for and disowned by the
men who made 1t, and which will be
corrected by the department of agri-
culture as soon as it is possible to print
the correction The Chronicle has made
a pretty mess of this whole matter
from the start, when it was too far
behind the interior press in discov-
ering the errors of the bulletin, to the
finish, when it is entirely too far ahead
of the truth in discovering the bullet
ms faultleSsness.
The herald., 1898-01-21
HOW IT WOULD WORK

There have been numerous statements
as to the provisions of the Gage cur
rency bill; now, what would be the effect
if it We're enacted into law? 1t is very
important that this should be under
stood. The current number of the New
Time furnishes the clearest exposition
on this point that we have seen.
If you had s25OOO in greenbacks, treas
ury notes or silver certificates you could
organize a company for $4,000 and ex-
change your money for 21a per cent gov
ernment bonds. Your money would re-
main in the vaults at Washington, but
you would have the bonds and draw the
interest thereon. You now exchange
your $4,000 in bonds for s31,250 in bank
notes. You are permitted under the law
to issue bank notes to the amount of 80
per cent of the bonds on deposit. Under
the Gage law this amount would be in
creased by about 50 per cent.
When you started you had $4,000 in
common, everyday" money. Some of
it was fiat money and some $50 cents
on the dollar" money. You have ex-
changed it for $25, 900 in 21e per cent gold
bonds and $S1 $50 in bank notes which
the government promises to redeem in
gold in case your bank should fail. You
have therefore a total of $56,250, net
profit on the start of $31, go. The gov
ernment has the bonds, to be sure, but
YOU will receive the interest in gold
regularly.
You start your bank. People deposit
money with you which you loan out. In
order that those depositors shall stand
no chance Of losing a dollar, the govern
ment levies a taX~of per cent on your
unsecured circulation. This is per
cent on the extra $625O which the gov
ernment printed for you, and amounts
to 1925 year.
To summarize: The bankers make of
the United States treasury a safety de-
posit vault and demand and obtain in
terest on idle deposits. They give Uncle
Sam a non-interest bearing dollar, and
exact from him in exchange gold bond
They deposit this bond and go away
with % per" cent more money than
they deposited in non-interest- bear
ing paper and silver. once a year
Uncle Sam sends the owners of these
bonds 21a per cent interest on them for
the privilege of taking care of them
Then he taxes these banks one-half OF
1 per cent on their circulation above &C
per cent. This leaves him per cent
loser, not counting the running expenses
of the treasury.
Great scheme, isn't it? How do you
like it?

WHAT DOES HIS HONOR wANTe

The Mayor issues his latest proclama-
tion through an evening sheet under the
caption: "Any Snake May Hiss" That
he has so soon reached stage of de-
lirium in which he sees snakes may be
a matter OF wonder to some people. But
they do not appreciate the violence of the
attack.
After all this ranting and raving, If the
mayor were asked what he proposes to
do more than has already been done by
the city council and other officials to
further negotiations for acquiring wa
ter works the probabilities are that he
could not tell.
AS a matter of fact everything has
been done that can be done. Pending
lawsuits involving water rights and wa
ter bearing lands have been pushed by
the city attorney and associate counsel
as fast as the slow-going methods of
legal procedure would admit. Negotia-
tions have been undertaken with the
water company looking to the purchase
of its improvements but they have come
to nothing Overtures have been made
to the water company to arbitrate in
advance and these negotiations are now
pending. Meanwhile it is quite certain,
that the water company cannot be
forced into arbitration until the expira-
ton of its lease next May.
1t is not very long to wait at most, but
if Mayor Snyder cannot stand off the
snakes until that time, let him go into
court and try to force the water COM
pany to arbitrate at once. That would
give him a vent for his energies and
couldn't possibly do any harm.
The Herald is at loss to understand
what all this hooroo is about. 1t seems
to us that the city's interests are not
endangered at all; that there is no di-
vision of sentiment on the subject of
acquiring the works: that every neces-
sary preliminary that can be under
taken at this stage of the business is
we'll in hand and there is nothing to do
but wait a little while and then bring
things TO climax. Now what's the
matter with this program?
If there is anything else that the city
ought to do just now will the mayor be
kind enough to name it in plain North
American language SO that we can get
an intelligent idea? ..
Meanwhile what earthly good can
come from getting all torn up in our
minds and excited in our feelings and
casting discredit upon every member of
the city government Except three
sanity ones) and impugning the motives
of the press, and just playing the devil
generally? What good does all this
hullabaloo accomplish except to manu-
facture a sensation for the San Fran
cisco Call and help it sell few hundred
extra papers? Yet such is yellow jour
nalism and Harry Patton is its prophet!
