BY HIM STILL

Nc Even has just taken a short
week to realize how the DeInocrac
stands Oh Bryan. In his last letter to
the Bulletin he SAYS:

stood by MIR. B!yan in the campaign
is standing by him still with an en-

might do It, but anything short of

upon the disturbed consciousness of
Croker and his followers. in whose
Judgment the perfection of political
wisdom is a straGdle.

JAPAN AND GOLD.

There was a great flourish of trun-
pets with the gold press when Japan
announced hat she had adopted the
gold standard. They are not Sing
ing as much about Japan now.
The ''blessings" of the gold stand
ard are already making their ap-
pearance III Japan. Business depres-
! has set in, Upon the basis of
her silver money that country was
making almost u~nexampled progress.
But having beaten China in war, she
became imbued with the notion that
she was the ''Eugland of the ORIENT
that she must put herself in accord
with The great commercial nations"
and become one herself. To that end
she abandoned the money standard
upon which she had prospered SO
amazingly, and adopted what some
gold worshippers have termed the
''counters of civilization'-namelv,
Sold COINS. She attempted to mimi
mize the effect of the change by cut
ting the gold coins in two and bring
ing them down to a silver level to be-
gin with but such an ~expedient
could do no more than to DELAY a
short time the evils that were bound
to come. No matter how much or
how little gold she put into her coins,
the very gold became her
standard, the appreciation of her
money began and, instead Of continu-
ing to do business on a rising market
with certain profits ahead, the up
ward movement of prices were
checked. They turned the other way
and Japan stands face TO face with
the conditions which prevail in all
other gold standard countries. Mon
etary strlngency, falling prices and
hard times are beginning to throw
their shadows into the sunlight of
her prosperity.

Before he had finished his speech Sir William
had offended the Irish Catholic party. for his
scathinR denunciations OF the practices OF the
ritualists were at the same time an attack upon
tho usages Of the Roman Catholic Church.
A subsequent explanation that what was right
in one Church was sinful In another was ac-
cepted, but Ia not perhaps sufficient to undo
all the mischief. Moreover, Sir William failed
10 turn up In the House to support his amend
ment. which was withdrawn.
Dir williams heated attack was OF course re-
turned In like kind. A dignltary Of the Church
gave him the lie direct In the columns OF the
Times. and described him as " plunged In such
a depth Of ahysmal ignorance IA to have got
into the habit for 80 long OF saying what he
thinks may politically pay. that no doubt the
lines between truth and falsehood are 40 de-

that he really does not know what is true and
what Is not true"
And so the fight has been carried on. To

able task. But this much perhaps may be
safely said. The law OF the pendulum is at
work. Al the time OF the Reformation the
Protestant party corrected the abuses OF the
Romanist regime. Then. what may In modern
terms be described as the High Church party
held power. and abused It. Puritan correction
ensued. And 30 the two elements have see-
sawed. None denies that the existence OF nom
conformity In England is the result OF abuses
In the Established Church. And 1t Is fairly
plain that In comparatively recent days the
evangelical element grow lazy and was
in It's turn guilty Of neglect OF duty.
The Rltualists infused energy into their
work, and undertook missionary work where
1t was most wanted-Rt home. They found
that a certain amount OF ritualism was at
tractive and helped them to do good work.
There is no question that many Of the
poorest and most self-denying OF the English
clergy are TO be found In the Rltualist ranks,
and 1t is interesting to find that they have been
most successful in the poorest districts. In the

than in any other direction they have offended
by departing from the orthodox form OF Church

own.
The Bishop OF London. departing from his
first line OF r elsewhere" now seems to have
taken a step toward Cancellation. He has for
warded a letter to all the clergy Of his diocese
covering the various points which have caused
some perplexit7 and dissatisfaction" In tho
course Of his letter he says:
1T is absolutely necessary that nothing
should be done which affects the due perform
ance OF the services Of the Church as laid down
in the Book Of Common Prayer. There must
be no confusion In the minds Of the people as TO
the standard Of worship In the Church OF
England. and there must be no opportunity for
personal eccentricities 10 invade the system Of
the Church"
Then. drawing their attention to q numbe Of
definite points. he concludes: 1T Is my duty
to see that permissible liberty be not unduly
extended. so as to impair the distinctive char
acteristics OF the services Of our Church"

quarrel ensued. The wounded man Is now lying at the point of death. Jackson was immediately placed under arrest and brought to Napa by. Nightwatchman AL len of the home and placed in the County Jail.
 Jackson gave the following statement in an interview:
 "I was away from the home four. days; went down to San Francisco to deposit some pension money in the bank and to visit my daughter, Mrs. Amelia Smith, at 19O South Park. When I returned to- night found that this man had my bed. He said that he intended to keep it. I told him that if he was a gentleman he would let me have it. He grabbed me by the throat and threw me on the beS. and l drew my gun and shot him three times l did not know how I was shooting. I was so angered at his insult and don't know where the shots struck him nor how badly he is hurt, but I am a man who prefers death to dishonor, and as there is no protection provided at the home for gentlemen or for manhood I had to protect myself"
 Jackson is 76 years of age, he says, and McColgan's age is given as 64 on the Great Register Jackson is an old miner He served in the Mexican and Civil wars and in some of the Indian wars

of property to nine children. John Briones was named as executor, but his brother, Pablo, got possession of all the legal documents in the case and has since refused to give them up. About a month ago somebody told young Pab- To that his father had left him some land. He started to read over the documents in his possession and was astonished to find a will signed by his grandfather which had never had the seal broken. The document told Pablo Briones ST. that under a cottage owned by the testator, situated near the schoolhouse. was buried $20,u00 in gold coin. A trapdoor led to tn spot where the money was cached, and a stake was driven over the exact spot. The money was placed in an iron box. By the terms of the will s2500 was to be de- voted to the erection of a Catholic church. like amount to be paid to a priest for offering up prayer for the re- nose of the testator's soul, and the remaining s15,000 was to be divided among the heirs.
 Young Pablo was overjoyed at the informa ton contained in the will, and his fingers itched to get hold of the money. but he was afraid to look for 1t while the house was tenanted. One day the will was stolen from his pocket
The San Francisco call., 1898-12-18

while he was in saloon. This made him apprehensive, but as the tenants were to move next day he quieted his fears.
 On the next evening Pablo repaired to the vacant house. He found the trap door and the stake. on top of which was ring rusted with age. Four feet un- der ground he found the box. Not a cent was in it. and the loose condition of the soil showed that the box had only recently been opened
 Young Briones rushed off and in- formed the local authorities of his loss. They are now busily engaged in searching for clew to the disappear ance of the money. So far their quest has been fruitless. The Briones bows come of an old Spanish family and are well known throughout the county.

League here at the last election has attracted a great deal of attention and the league is constantly in receipt of letters inquiring about it's plan of or ganization. It is believed a league can be formed in each city. This would give a strong State organization and one that would be a material factor in selecting representative State legisla- tors.
 The Stratton primary election law was discussed by the league to-day. A committee was appointed to suggest some changes to representatives in the Legislature The members favored holding both the primaries for legisla- tive and county conventions on the same day. It was also proposed to cut down election expenses by reducing the pay of election officers to about $2 50 per. day.
