CHANDELIERS WARNING.
The New Hampshire Senator De-
p0unees the Gold Standard.

| CONCORD, N. H., Jan. 6.-The
Evening Monitor, Senator Chambers
paper, contains the following as a
leader un1er the caption: "The re-
duction of wages is caused by the
gold standard--W Work for silver money,
says Senator Chandler"
"a good New Years resolve for
Republicans is TO demand and dur
ing 1898 struggle for bimetallism.
Every man who works for wages
should fight against the single gold
standard of money, which is the most
potent cause Of the recent reduction
in wages made in all the factories OF
New England. The demonstration
OF silver and the consequent appre-
citation OF gold, which measures vail
ues, have contributed TO SO reduce the
prices of commodities that goods which
would once have brought the pro-
Queer &l00 now bring him only $50.
This is a worldwide condition, where
gold prices prevail, and because man
ufacturers cannot get the old prices
for goods they say they cannot pay
the old prices for labor. But if IL
had not been for the characterization
of silver the wages of labor every
where in recent years would have
risen, because each laborer has been
able, year by year, to create a larger
product, and he has therefore been
entitled to larger wages as his share
of that product. This legitimate
raise in wages the adoption Of
the gold standard has prevented, and
instead If rise comes a fall.
''Here is the whole case in a nut
shell, and it is impregnable. The
unanimous vote of organized labor
in America and Europe is therefore
against the single gold standard, and
in favor Of the restoration OF silver
to its old position as standard money,
American labor now has protective
tariff. Let all Republicans fight to
keep the greenbaeks in circulation
and to get rid Of slavery to the gold
men, who are trying to drive out of
use the silver money of the wage
earness of the world.

SILVER Age'' Kline shifts the pipc.s

Last night Kline student from
Pittsburg had quite an experience
and one that don't come to school
boy very often. He shit the pipe,
but the resultant guying has not
added to the pleasure of the exper-
fence. He had been told that there
was joint near town where he could
If he desired chit the pipe but that
the matter would have to be kept
secret. A promise of great secrecy
was made and the crowd of conspir-
ators with their victim started for
the joint. They went over past
Greenmont aboet mile out of town
and at the end of the trip the hitter
was allowed to hit a joint of pipe
which had been placed there by the
haulers for the new pipe line.
The joke is all over town and Kline
is being guyed numerically.

to Criminal CareIessness ON the Par
of an Unknown Man.-Mr. and Mrs,
Pickenpaugh thrown Out Buggy
Completely observation-disclosures Run
From the Mile Ground to town.
Thurday night Sam Pickenpaugh
and wife had very narrow escape
from terrible death in runaway.
As it was they were thrown out and
he was dragged for some distance
through the mud. How he escaped
from serious injury is a miracle. The
accident occurred on the Mile Ground
near Dr. Hopkins residence.
Pickenpaugh had been out on the
mountain after his wife who had been
visiting her father for some time and
they were near the residence of DR..
Hopkins on their way back. A car
riage was heard coming up at rapid
rate and it was getting dark. Pick
enpgugh pulled over to the side of
the road to allow the approaching
carriage to pass, but the driver of it
did not seem to appreciate the kind
ness. He drove right at the buggy
and collision occurred The horses
became frightened and ran off.
They soon got away from the driver
and Sam, seeing the peril his wife was
in, threw her out She luckily
alighted in a soft place and escaped
with only serious shaking up. After
she had gotten out the buggy was
overturned and Sam was dragged for
some distance through the mud. He
was not hurt with the exception of
some bruises, but he scooped up all
the mud in the road Finally the
horses broke from him and continued
thheir flight.
When at the forks of the road near
Uncle Roberts they took the lower
road and lost the carriage before they
had gone very far on it. The car
riage was almost a total wreck. The
horses ran on until they entered town
and ran down Main street, attracting
considerable attention and thence to
the stable where they were stopped.
They had only the collar and neck
yoke on them. All the other harness
had been torn off. The horses were
not injured. They belonged to Man
lift Hayes. Pickenpaugh and wife
remained at DR.. Hopkins all night
as they were unable to continue to
town. They are all to be congratu-
lated at having escaped so easily from
their danger.

 Colonel Commanding LOS ANGELES. May 3.-The city is alive with interest and enthusiasm this evening over the fact that the Seventh Regiment of the National Guard has been included In California's quota of troops to go to the front. For some days past there has been apprehension lest Califor- nia's contingent would be compelled to do home guard duty. This had discouraged many of the members of the regiment but when the news came to-day that the

The Seventh Will Follow ClOSelu on Their Heels and Then All Will Be Ready

To-day the First Infantry Regiment of the National Guard of California will be mustered into the United States army as volunteers. Immediately fol- lowing this transfer from State to Fed eral service the Seventh Infantry Regi- ment, with headquarters at Los An geles, will be transported by rail to this city and mustered into Uncle Sam's army of volunteers.
 The news of Commodore Dewey's splendid victory at Manila. the mes sages from the East that Illinois and Ohio troops were clamoring to be sent. to San Francisco to join an expedition to re-enforce the gallant Dewey at the Philippines, the general impatience in California over the long delay in mus terfng into the volunteer service the troops of this State, all conduced to inn part life and vigor yesterday to the operations at headquarters in the Cali fornia Hotel. Little time was lost in the consideration of trivial details It was at once obvious to the adjutant- general, to Captain Darlington and the numerous staff officers on duty at headquarters that the Governor was determined to wait nc longer for blanks and forms. It was realized that the chance of getting a California regi- ment to the Gulf front had about van ished, hence there was q determina- tion to move at once in order to have troops ready to join the proposed column for the Philippines.
 Fortunately for all concerned the mail that arrived from the East early yesterday morning brought to Captain Darlington, the mastering officer the anxiOusly awaited blanks. Governor Budd at once directed Adjutant- Gen eral Barrett to inform the mastering officer that CalifOrnia's quota as called for by the President was awaiting or ders to proceed to the point of readez- vous. Captain Darlington at once off, cially replied that he would be ready at o'clock this morning to begin muster ing in the men of California's quota under the call.
 This positive statement was received with satisfaction. Thereupon Governor Budd, as in-chief of the military forces of the State. instantly directed Adjutant- General Barrett to issue without delay an order placing Major-General Dickinson on active

 Colonel James F. Smith, commanding the First Infantry. and Colonel John R. Berry, Los Angeles. commanding the Seventh Infantry, were at once ad- vised of the important orders.

 Colonel J. R. Berry, in speaking of the matter this evening, said: The Seventh Regiment is in as fine condition as any regiment of the guard in California. We are simply overjoyed at the opportunity which has been afforded us to go to the front, and we will demonstrate by deeds the truth of this declaration" .
 The officers and men of the Seventh all feel that they will experience no difficulty in passing muster. The truth is they are a stalwart lot of well-developed young men, and but few of them are lacking in drilled and are really up-to-date soldiers. Headquarters for the volunteer regi- ment raised here last week have been opened at the Nadeau Hotel. The ser vices of the regiment have been proffered to the President by Congressman Barlow and Senator White No difficulty will be experienced here in recruiting the Nation al Guard up to the standard after the Seventh Regiment has departed.
 VENTURA, May 3.-Late this afternoon Colonel J. R. Berry of the Seventh Regi- ment ordered Captain Browne to assemble Company H at once, to be held in readi- ness to move to San Francisco.

Turner is in command of the Naval Militia of California and is hastening home for service. It is not likely that any Of the battalion will accept the offer of the Secretary of the Navy to enter the United States navy as acting officers, as the pay is small and they all want to stay with their organizations.
