About "Usclcss" Conventions

whats the use Of wasting good trust
money holding Republican national
convention this year," inquiries the Re-
gister. There is no intention, ofaholding a
convention by the national Republic
ans this year; consequently the Regis
ter need not worry itself about the mat
ter until next year. Assuming that our
neighbor means next year, Its further
inquiry is pertinent. 1t Is: whats

ability to forecast platforms n year
ahead of Il convention, that this des-
crIption Of the Republican platform of
1900 Is about as lucid and as definite as
anything it says concerning the COM
Ing Democratic platform OF the same
year. That is, nothing. Using our
neighbours own method of describing
the nature Of an opposition platform In
advance. we may be permitted to re-
mark that there is no use of holding a
Democratic convention-that Is, assnm-
Ing the Register Is still loyal to the Chi

The members Of the Audobon socict

The members of the Audubon Society,
of New York, have issued n stirring ap-
peal to the women to join In the move
ment to abolish the fashion OF wearing
birds and feathers on the feminine
headgear, in the interest of the strong
fight the society is making for the pre-
seryatIon Of the song birds. The petit
tion, Of the New York women declares
that millions Of birds are being annual
~ slaughtered to supply the demands,
and calls attention to the fact that the
movement cannot be success without
the. aid Of the women themselves The
sale Of the birds and their slaughter will
continue so long as the market Is pro-
ntable. and that will be true so long as
they are popular as, headgear decora-

American gunnery won It's first fame
during the Spanish-American war, rs
every one posted knew 1t would, and
has been the subject OF much comment
in naval circles in Europe ever since
the wonderful performances Of the
fleets ut Manila and Santiago. The ac-
curacy Of aim shown in the marksmnn-
ship Of the United States navy was
paid an eloquent tribute by an eminent
British authority recently, who admit
ted that the gunnery Of the Americans
was better than that Of the British. In
both the great naval engagements Of
the Spanlsh-American war the per-
Torrance OF our gunners was regarded
as marvellous. when described In the
newspaper reports, but the official re-
cords Of the craftsmanship OF the ships
engaged show even better for the men
who stood behind the guns than the hur-
ried press accounts of those days.
The exploit of the Dewey fleet ut
Manila year-ago. according to the de-
tailed report received by the navy de-
partment at Washington, was the most
remarkable exhibition of marksman-
ship, though, 1t should be remembered,
the conditions were more favorable
there than at Santiago. where our men
were firing at ships moving rapidly.
while at Manila the Spanish vessels
were not moving. The report of the
Manila craftsmanship has but recently
been received at Washington, and is
based on both Spanish and American
testimony to the effect that the ships of
the Dons were literally riddied with
shells. One hundred and forty-onc
shots during that fight struck their
mark. and all the world knows the re-
suit. That result. according to the re-
cord Of the fight, was due to the method
adopted-the fire from the American
guns was poured into the Spanish fleet
with deadly fury, Dewey reasoning that
a courageous dash and quick firing was
the most effective manner of assaulting
the enemy.
AS intimated above no comparison is
to be made between Santiago and Man.
LA as to craftsmanship, on account of
the difference In conditions. At Santi-
ago the gunnery IN general was regard
ed as magnificent on account Of the
rare circumstances. The American
gunners were not only firing at moving

When Alfred the Great attempted to
correct certain abuses that had grown up
in his kingdom he found it necessary, in
order to succeed, to hang some sixty Of
his corrupt and vicious judges.
While we mag not find it necessary to
initiate his example in this country, yet
the day is not far distant when, in order
to stop these judicial outrages and pre-
serve our liberties, it may become neces-
sary to impeach and drive into everlast-
ing disgrace a large number OF federal
judges who are constantly perpetrating
these acts Of injustice and oppression.
know it will be SO unless the shame
less practice Of government by injunction
is forever destroyed in this country, by
the passage and rigid enforcement Of
counteracting state and federal laws.
Government by injunction sbrogates
the constitutionally guaranteed right Of a
fair trial by an impartial jury, and gives
the swift and obsequious Judge the power
to constitute himself the maker, the pros
ecutor and the executioner of the drastic
and unjust edicts he thus arbitrarily de-
crees, and from whose illegal and shame
less judgments the right even OF appeal
for the helpless victims OF his tyranny
does not lie.
And this is government by injunction,
and against which we most earnestly and
honestly protest, as being conceived in
the worst passions Of the human heart
and Taught with grave and threatening
dangers to the republic.

The San Francisco Examiner OF Nov.
8 has the following special dispatch from
Auburn, CAL:
"Auburn has replica Of the Cardiff
Giant. While prospecting at Rich Flat
the other dav Charley Glover, with his
pick, struck the arm OF petrified man.
With Tom Nolan and others the entire
body was unearthed and brought to this
city, where it is on exhibition.
"Opinions are divided as to whether
the 'find' is genuine or not. The stone
body has the features Of a Caucasion, is
about five feet eight inches and has
perfect teeth. The veins and arteries
can be traced. There are finger nails
and few hairs can he seen. Drs.
Hanover and White and Professors
Leary and Richmond are certain that
the figure is not a manufactured one.
"judge Kinkade says that the body is
that Of miner whom he knew and was
buried in Rich Flat in 1850.
1.-THE only strangers in town are two
men from Seattle"
It's an even chance that this is the
fake manufactured by l. N. Barrett, OF
Colorado, at Aberdeen last September,
that was exposed by the HERALD. When
last heard OF Barrett had it on exhibition
in Seattle, and the probabilities are that
an investigation OF those two strangers
in Auburn from Seattle will show one OF
them to be this same Barrett.

swells who had just succeeded in getting
onto the way things should be done.
He was admitted TO all the clubs taken
everywhere and became. in fact. the ar
bitter elegantarium of social San Fran
cisco. 1t was learned that he had former
" been the manager OF the 81. Louis
Country Club. and he was solicited to take
charge OF Burlingame.
He complied, and for Time ran the
whole ranch. Nothing was done without
seeking his advice; nothing was attempted
without the light of his counsel. What
Wainwright said went, and what Waine-
wright forbade was forever scratched off
the clubs books.
The captain saw his opportunity and
We're worked for whatever they would

tain's pockets never again was seen un-
less In transit over some bar or across the
counter that Swallowed the block OF some

But the captain was a good fellow and
a thoroughbred and nobody kicked San
Francisco society wanted real swells. and
when IL had one II was willing 10 pay for
the luxury. But In time other contestants
for social favor drifted in. and the captain
began 10 lose ground. II was discovered
that he was spending too much time in
gayety and not enough in pursuit OF his
duties IS manager of the San Mateo Coun-
try Club and al last meeting OF the d.
rectors was called and the popular cap
tain was let out.
He at once left the city, and from that
NllIlt only the NdSuest IuIlOrS concerning
him were received until the news of hts
present trouble was flashed over the wires
from the north. His present victims are
merchants Of Nelson, b. C, and unless he
can make good the losses they have sus-
talned through his dishonesty they will
send him where he will be given harder
Job than teaching the young idea OF
Western metropolis how TO shoot and ride.
While Walnewright has done up dozens
OF men In this city he seems 10 have left
none but friends behind him. He was a
good fellow. and the worst OF his short
comings while here seems 10 have been
the desire to borrow money which he
would spend as literally as II was given
him. The members Of Burlingame say
that he was let out OF his position there
because Of incompetency and that not
withstanding reports 10 the contrary, he
never INDUCED in any crookedness in the
handling OF the clubs funds and accounts.
Though Wainwright passed number of
worthless checks, the one on which he
was prosecuted was for S. which he

The brother of the prisoner was present
and did everything he could to save him.

ample had to be made OF some one, as the
practice of passing worthless paper had
become altogether too common among re-
mittance men. and the lesson would do

The captain therefore has the satisfac-
ton OF knowing that he is setting an ex-
ample even while I'm durance vile.
