Charge Against Edwards.

The democrats are trying to make votes
for Johnston by asserting that Mr.. Edwards
has never yet publicly denied report that
he proposed, if elected, to have removed the
postmasters in his district who were ap-
pointed through the influence of Represent
ative Dorr although he has, they cay, sev-
erai times been challenged TO do so, Ind
they assert that he contented himself with
saying that he had not threatened to do so:
but when pressed with the question whether
he would retain them in office he failed to
answer.
AS result the democratic managers
charge that Mr.. Edwards is playing
double game with the postmasters and those
who desire to be such. They allege that tn
those in office he says he has not threaten
ed to turn them out if elected while to
those who want to be postmasters ne init
mates Just wait until after | am elected,
and L viii show these Dorr handlers ofSJet-
ters a trick or two" This the democrats
declare is in line with the policy pursued
by Mr.. Dorr previous TO his defeat by Mr..
Edwards.

Sun advises the farmers on the plains
of Colusa, in order to safeguard them
selves against drought, to dig wells and
pump water on to their parched lands,
citing the following example in proof
of the wisdom of the advice: Henry
Bookskin has been pumping water for
the last fifteen years from wells 100
feet deep in the Santa Clara Valley,
where people love to advertise that ir-
rigation is rot necessary, and has been
making money by it every year. This
year he made over $9. .000 clear money
selling water pumped from two wells,
in addition TO getting water for his
own orchards, and he made more than
twice that by having the water ready
for his own fruit. He is more than
| $50 900 better off than he would have
been had he not been fixed to get wa
ter at the right time this year. And he
goes 100 feet after it," There are
many Shasta County farmers who
might profit from the Suns advice

face, requiring only wells and pumps
to make available.

ADVISES SIMPSONS DEFEAT.
"Brown OF Pratt" Asks His Friends to
Vote Against That "Popuiist
Traitor"

W. +. Brown, populist represen ta-
tive from Pratt county and chairman
of the house committee on railroads in
1897, is out with another open letter
advising the populists of the Seventh
district in the interest of decency and
honesty in politics TO vote against
Jerry Simpson for congress. He
again makes the direct charge that
Simpson was a paid member of the
lobby during the 1897 session and
lobbied against the maximum rate bill
and the usury bill and succeeded in
defeating both. He concludes:
Gentlemen, II Jerry Simpson will
go to your state capital and there use
all of his influence against your inter-
ests, by lobbying against the bill Of
all bills that you desired to have
passed, why should he be true to you
in Washington or anywhere elsep
Can you as populists afford to in
dorse this mans shameless perfidy by
re-electinR him to congressP Can you
afford to indorse his treachery by your
votesP place these unpleasant facts
before you because feel it is my duty.
Think on them well, and when you
come TO vote just ask yourself this
questions; Can afford to cast my vote
for any man who has proved traitor
to the peoples interestsp"

The populists have been nursing a

press will not have time to deny it,
attacking the official integrity of w
f. Stanley. The charge will bL
made that while county attorney o.

county commissioners to sell soma
bonds which the county held in tho

they were afterwards sold for So cents

get cent for such bonds but bust

something. Now the pops will claim
that Stanley tried TO beat the county
out of the difference between what he
wanted the bonds sold for and the
amount they brought At that time
the commissioners thought the same
as Stanley but later had the good luck
to sell at higher figure.
The fact that nothing wrong was
ever done. contemplated or thought Of
is manifest when it is known that the
same fall Mr.. Stanley was reelected
county attorney; that in 1878 he was
again reelected and in 1880 he was
elected representative from that coun-
ty-each time by more than the party
vote, and that in each of these cam

pect that Spain win have deported the last
