BfRDOON SUBSCRIBfS
TAXIs 100000 or THE NEW
GOVERNMENT BONDS
The Interesting Annual Report Of the
Highland Fruit Growers
Association

SAN BERNARDINO, June 3o.-That
there Is at least moiety Of patriotism in
financial matters In these latter days is
shown by the subscriptions for the new
issue Of national bonds just put on the
market as popular loan. San Bernardino
city has subscribed for 100000 of these. in
sums ranging from $40 to $4,000. This
right in the face of the very high rates of
interest on commercial paper. Mortgages
on real estate draw much higher rate
than these bonds. Nearly every mortgage
filed this week has interest at 10. II, IL or IA
per cent per annum, yet the low interest
bonds seem the favorite.
The war revenue act that goes into OPP
GRAFTON tomorrow will find everybody here
prepared for 1t. Javez Hooking has been
appointed revenue collector for this district.

the question the G. o. p. managers have
to solve. Mr.. Myers is as good as elected
now almost, and the Republicans know
they have a hard fight: in fact, they do not
know of man in their camp who will
stand any kind of show with Myers. The

without big fight. and that is what the
Republican managers intend putting UP If
they can hustle suitable candidate.

thirty barracuda. Those on board were

Louise futile, Miss Susie Johnson, Miss

The weather yesterday was puzzle. 1t
was hot and no sun was shining; there was
not the slightest motion on the sea, and yet
the wind was blowing, and in every way it
was a paradox that kept people guessing
as to what was going to be the weather
today. 1t was only the calm before the
storm, and this morning there is a nasty
sea running.
The schooner Nellie arrived from San
Pedro with a cargo of lumber.
The tuna are still shy and the barracuda
are still hungry. Record continue to be
broken In the same old way. The record
made yesterday will no doubt hold good
for some time. Mr. and Mrs. A. Frank were
out with Harry Elms in the launch Mildred.
and got forty-seven barracuda and four
yellowtail. The catch was made on the other
side of the island on both rod and reel and
hand line. The barracuda were SO thick
over there that the work of hauling them In
became monotonous and could NOT really be
classed as sport NNs} ftFf
Mr.. Magnn and Mr.. Fraser, while out
with Captain Jarstorff in the Sunbeam,
landed thirty barracuda on rod and reel.
The fish were caught just the other side of
Seal Rock.

Vincent or Mckinley?

Congressman Vincent says the president
is not wickedIbut weak.-[Clay Center Times.
So our congressman has not even
the merit Of original expression
Leedy said that. Think Of the loyal
citizens Of Dickinson county and the
Fifth district being represented in
congress by person with such opin-
ions. Vincent call Mckinley weak!
Why, dishrag is ramrod compared
with Vincent's backbone. He is even
afraid Of his canvass and we under
stand will not allow his central com.
mittee to bill him anywhere lest he
shall have a "frost" and show how
small is his following. Poor Vincent!
Because Vincent opposed the war
measures Of the administration and
because he would oppose every meas
ure presented by the administration
in the settlement Of all questions
growing out Of the war, should be
sufficient to cause his overwhelming
defeat. When you vote for a con-
gresham this fall, you will vote for
or against McKinley's administration.

It Is Easily Explained.

The News seems greatly worried
over report that, ~. r. Burton re-
Gently approached McNall with the
proposition that II he would come
back to the Republican party he
might retain his job as insurance
commissioner" The explanation is
very simple. II is as follows; Either
McNall has lied to the News or the
News is lying on its own responsible
ity. Mr.. McNall never was able to
hold office under Republican admin.
istration and he never will be. The
Republicans considered him as the
commonest kind Of a boodler. He
tried for years to get office under
them and failed. The only way he
could ever get office was to join the
reform party. The Republican party
never believed in giving the Leedy
kind of reformers an office. When
McNall was Republican he got paid
in cash by the corporations for all
his work. Since he became reform
er gets paid both by the State and
the corporations.

SPANS COMMISSIONERS.


New York, Sept. ga dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says: Gen.
Julian Gonzales Parade, second in
command Of the Spanish army in Cuba
and president Of the Spanish commits
sion, has submitted to an interview on
the policy of the commission. He
said:
As the president OF the Spanish commission
1t is impossible to give you any details, but
have no objection to speaking In a. general
way Of the progress we are making l think
wrong impression exists both in Spain and the
United States, as to the duties and scope OF
the commissions work. 1t Is usually referred
to as peace commission. This Is misn0mer
1t should be called the evacuation commission.
All that concerns us Is to complete arrange
m ,nts for the evacuation of the island by the
Spaniards. That is all we are allowed to
do Under the protocol there is but one
peace commission, the one that meets In
Paris Our relations thus far with the
American commissioners have been most
friendly and pleasant We are doing all in our
power to facilitate the speedy evacuation Of
Cuba No date has been settled on as yet, so
am unable to say whether the evacuation will
be completed In one month or four The Amer
lean commissioners wish US to try to settle the
case OF the Comal and her cargo Of provisions,
but after consideration we decided that 1t was
entirely outside our Jurisdiction Our instruc-
tions from Madrid permit us to arrange the
terms Of evacuation and nothing more. We
did all we could In the Coma case however

Ten French factories are making
carbide calcium for the production of
acetylene gas and four are being
built. France next year will produce
5000 tons Of the carbide, worth $75
per ton, exclusive Of the cost Of pack
ing. Two villages in France are
lighted wholly by acetylene gas.
Each house in these villages has its
own gas plant, just as bicyclists in
this country make their own gas from
the carbide. The lighting power of
acetylene is fifteen times that Of coal
gas. For the same amount Of light,
it cost 30 per cent less than coal gas.
1t Is stated that the French carbide is
superior to the American.

In the News appears what is alleged
to be a communication from "Fair
Play" patching up defense for Coun.
ty Attorney Kane's conduct Of the
Seelye case and probably written by
Mr.. Kane himself. It admits that
Kane, the representative Of the peo-
pie, tried to make the county pay
costs in the embezzlement case where
the taking OF IS was charged and the
jury found that it was brought "wilh-
out probable cause" but says that the
jury "misunderstood the instruc.
tions." Is 1t likely that men like the
following who composed the jury
could not understand plain English:
j. N. Shane foreman, G. C. Ander-
son, S. Palmer, c. c. Wardell, M. A.
Jolley, Jos. Shadlnger, M. l.. Bald
win, John Hoon, l.. Sells, r. Bradley,
Geo. +. Jones, Bert Austin.
1t was argued before these men
infinitely and with the utmost care by
Attorneys Crawford and Rugh as we'll
as by Mr.. Kane himself, all laying
stress upon the matter Of bringing a
verdict and its wording so that the
prosecuting witness should pay the
costs or not.
1t is an insult to everyone of them
to say that they could not Judge as to
the needlessness Of Kane's bringing
the case.
The article states that a district
court jury had already passed on the
case and Seelye was found to be justi-
fed. Mr.. Kane knows better. One
case was brought by Seelye against
Huffman for embezzling about $50.
This was tried and Hultzman ac-
quilted. On its account damage
case was brought against Seelye and
it, TOO, went in favor Of the defend
ant. Afterward Seelye brought suit
for embezzlement OF 50 and this was
followed by damage suit now pend
ing. 1t was the first trial Of the So
suit in Justices court where the jury
declared it to be 'without probable
cause" Mr.. Kane is not helping
matters by discussing this case-the
more it is talked over the worse it
appears. "Fair Play" should at
least be lawyer enough to state his
facts correctly before commencing an
argument.

Pops Want Democrats Money.

One OF the most remarkable requests
ever made by any political organiza'
ton has just come to light in connec-
ton with the deal between the fusion
lists who think they are bossing the
Democratic party Of Kansas and the
Populist state central committee.
1t is due to letter Taylor Riddle,
chairman Of the Populist committee,
has Just sent to various Democrats
over the State. In it Riddle requests
them to send their contributions to
the Populist state committee, instead
of the Democratic committee. He
explains that the Populist committee
has agreed to deiray all the expenses
of the Democratic committee and
that, in order to simplify matters and
arrange it so that the Democratic
managers will mot get their accounts
mixed up" all contributions should
be sent direct to the Populist com.
mittee.
This has made the Democratic man.
ayers hot. The insinuation that they
are likely to pocket some of the funds
does not set well with them. Besides
they believe that it is their place to
ask support from the Democrats of
the State, and not the Popullst COM
mittee. They have so notified Riddle.
The trouble is that the Riddle letter
gives the whole snap away about the
Pops bearing the expense of the Dem.
ocratic committee, and the Demo.
cratic managers are afraid that the
Democrats over the State will now
refuse to "dig up"
That Riddle is suspicious Of the
Democratic committee is shown by
the fact that he sent these letters out
without consulting its members. He
attempted to keep the matter secret,
but an out Of town Democrat wrote
in to Democratic headquarters in
quiring when the Populist committee
had been appointed its financial agent
and this gave the whole matter away.
Several Democrats in Dickinson
county received them. They take
especial oifense at this paragraph:
"All money should be sent direct
to the Populist committee where it
will be judiciously spent"
Think of the nerve Of the thing!
Asking Democrats to vote the Pop
ticket and then contribute to help
pay the Pop campaign expenses, too,
Democrats, please cough up.
