The Register totally Ignores the sta
tistlcs Of the tin plate Industry, from
1891, three years previous to the passage
OF the Wilson bill, submitted by the ms
telligencer. and. in one of its old dla-
tribes about "PecksnIffian politics" re-
iterates It's assertion that there was not
a pound OF Commercial tin plate" man
ufactured in this country until after the
passage of the Wilson bill In 1894. This
Is evasion, but. of course, 1t isn't Peck
snitFian." Our friend need not go mile
from Its own Office to ascertain from
local manufacturers that It's statements
are untrue,
The Intelligencer did not feel called
upon to refer to the Registers reference
to the tin plate trust because that ref
erence was not involved in the claim
that no tin plate was made in this coun-
try untn the Wilson bill was enacted,
which point the Intelllgencer was dis
putting. AS to the trust, no one Is deny
ing that there is combination. It is
not watered-stock trust, organized
for speculative purposes, but Is a com.
blnation based upon actual business and
property and legitimate values.
The InteiHigencer does not favor ire
sponsIble trusts any more than the Reg
lister does. 1t thinks the craze for them
has gone too far, and there are too
many that are over stocked, organized
without visible capital. or property to
back the enormous capitalization. They
IRE the evils that are responsible for the
prejudice, and even the wall street or
gans," as the Register calls them. are
warning investors against them. This
paper has repeatedly taken this position
during the weeks OF the craze, But the
Intelligencer did not misconstrue the
Registers remarks that "the price OF
tin plate has been doubIeI," and that
at would be better to bry It abroad as
we did prior to 1884," 1t stated that the
price is not double what It was before
1884,"
The industry is thoroughly establish
ed, and 1t is to the credit of the
American manufacturers that the labor
which is employed in making It Ia far
better paid, even II trust" is doing It,

TnE GREAT KIDNEY REMEDY
swamp-Root the Most Important Dis
,coyery Of the 10Th Century.

coVery Of the 10th Century.
Among herbal remedies familiar TO
readers OF the Intelligencer none are
more so than Swamp Root, the great
kidney remedy, which Is classed among
the most important remedial discover
les of the nineteenth century.
The immense success gained by TINS
remedy for kidney and kindred trou-
bles Is due to the method Of placing It
before the public by manufacturers, Dr.
KIlmer & Co., of Binghamton, N. "
through whom Swamp Root has be-
come a household word. known the
world over as panacea for one OF tue
most dreaded diseases humanity sur.
fers from, and the high standard gained
by this celebrated remedy Is due TO
wonderful cures effected by It In some
Of the most distressing cases. where
other known remedies had failed.
Swamp Root has been brought to the
attention of sufferers from kidney trou-
bles by legitimate methods Of adyertis-
ing and selling through trade channels
known only as the best.
The success gained by It has been
gradual, has not been reached by a
claim that II is sure cure for all dis.
eases flesh Is heir to: but that It IS o
sure cure for kidney and other kindred
troubles Is attested by thousands OF
testimonials from people in every COM
munIty, of well known standing, and
by physicians who generally use It in
treatment. Swamp Root Is dispensed
by all druggists and dealers In medi-
cines, and anyone desiring free sam
pie has only to send a request for the
same to DR.. Eilmer & Co., at Bing-
hamton, to receive sample immedi-
ately. Dr. Kilmer, the eminent physi-
clan and specialist, In Swamp Root has
given to the world specific that has
gained for him fame and a name as a
humanitarian

DRAINAGE CANAL.
Necessity of Developing tho Illinois
River-The Cost oft.


River-The Cost oft.
CHICAGO, July 1.-THE Times Her
aid to-day prints the following:
az have no doubt" says Chief Engt-
neer Randolph, of the Sanitary District,
that the ultimate end OF the cruise OF
the sanitary district trustees over the
Illinois river will be made navigable
waterway; that eventually 1t will be re-
constructed to carry the largest mod
ern river vessels, and that the drainage
channel Of Chicago itself will be com
verified into a waterway linking Lake
Michigan with the Mississippi and the
Gulf Of Mexico. The problems which
the opening of the drainage channel
will develop will be such that the peo-
ple themselves will demand the con-
strucuon Of this waterway and the res
toratlon Of the Illinois and Desplatnes
(now drainage channels) to their prts-
tine glory Of the tirst-class water
ways"
The trustees Of the drainage channel
have returned from their trip downith
Illinois river to st. Louis. They are not
prepared to recommend the removal OF
the government dams in the river, at
least not until the water Is turned into
the channel and its effect noted, but
they believe the law will have TO pc
compiled with by removing the state
dams. They are more convinced tnah
ever before the Illinois VIII tully care
for the waters which the drainage
channel Is to discharge into II, 1t must
a HN4FN
It will In reality be once more free
stream.
Eminent authorities Of the Society OF
Western Engineers who have given the
progress OF the drainage channel close
study feel that the $S2,00O,00O already
expended upon that work must be fol-
lowed by the expenditure Of at least
$50, 900, 900 more by the general govern
ment and the state OF Illinois towards
making the river and the channel a
complete waterway, one which Will sat
IsflCtOrily dispose Of all the water and
waste emanating from the city OF Chi
cago and every community upon the
banks of the two streams.
Already the inland cities south OF
Chicago have begun making tests OF
the character of the water in the llli-
nois river for the purpose OF making
similar tests after the drainage chan
mel discharges into 1t. From the two
tests they will determine how impure
the river water is made by the sewage
discharge from Chicago. This is the
sanitary side Of the question.
It is also. a question how much over
flow, il any, the channel will cause in
the river, what lands will be submerg.
ed, what damage will be caused, what
claims there may be against the SAM
tary district. Issues such as these,
now that the channel is almost COM
pleted, have brought the residents Of
the valley and the sanitary district
trustees to point where mutual agree
ment and action would make the dill
culties vastly easier Of solution.

The Telephone Ordinance.

No action Of definite character was
taken by the city council last night on
the National Telephone Company ordl-
nance, by reason of the laying of the
report of the committee on the table by
the second branch. and a proper tech
meal objection raised In the first
branch to Its consideration. No dis
cussion Of the merits OF the case was
INDUCED in which would reveal the at
tltude Of all the members, and the or
dinance must go over until the next
regular meeting. unless special ses-
sion is called in the meantime. 1t is
believed, however, that the ordinance
will stand poor show of adoption, at
least in its present Objectionable shape.
1t cannot be said That the outlook for
the acceptance of the committees re-
port Is very encouraging to its promo
tiers, and. while the delay is somewhat
aggrayating to the public, there is not
likely to be much uncertainty. It is
hoped that on its next consideration,
the matter may be finally disposed Of
in order that the suspense may be re-
lleVed.

SAMOAN QUESTION.
The Berlin Press Satisfied With
Admiral Kautz's Attitude.

BERLIN, April 2S.-The newspapers
here, commenting to-day on the latest
news from Samoa, express satisfaction
with the attitude of Admiral Kautz,
e. S. N, interpreting it as a sign that
the United States Government will
henceforth side with Germany in the
Samoan troubles.
The ''Boersen Courier says that the
American Admiral's position may indi-
cate how differently the Americans and
the English in Samoa interpret instruc-
tons received simultaneously
1t is believed here that IN under
standing has been reached between the
Governments of the United States and
Germany, not only as to their relations
in Samoa, but in regard to other por-
tons of the world as we'll. Some of the
Berlin newspapers to-day condemn a
speech made recently by the United
States Consul at Amsterdam, George
c. Corey, in which it was said that
from the year 1868 Prince Bismarck
had been constantly scheming to seize
Holland

MURDOCH NOTE SUIT.
JUDGE PIRKEY SUSTAINS OBJ
LECTION OF PLAINTIFF.
To Answer Of Deposition Wherein
Her He Was Worth 100000.

WILLOWS, April 2S-At the opening
of the court to-day Judge Pirkey sus-
tanned plaintiffs objection to the an
swer in the deposition of Mrs. Ellen
Murdoch, wherein she said Samuel
Murdoch told her in 1870 that he was
not worth $3.50, 900"
Defense noted an exception
After the ruling out of another an
swer in the deposition, Mr.. Lusk Of
fered to show that William Murdoch
had $1,000 when he came here, and
| that the witness was custodian OF
$4, 0D0 of it for awhile.
The court sustained objections to al
answers as to what witness heard from
Samuel Murdoch or anybody else that
Samuel Murdoch or William Murdock
was worth since coming to California
Experts Ames and Kytka were re-
! called by defendants to prove the KIND
of ink used in the Kirkpatrick affidavit
| Kirkpatrick's affidavit stated thai
Samuel Murdoch had made affidavit
claiming he had given money to Will
| lam Murdoch, and William had given
Mary Helen Murdoch note dated Sep
TENDER ), 1877, for 100000, payable
twenty years after date.
The experts swore the ink used in
this affidavit was diluted. Kytka had
photographed the document, and the
photograph showed the ink greatly di-
luted He could not tell from exam
ination how long the document had
been made.
Kirkpatrick's affidavit is dated 1877
and this expert testimony is to show
| a a HI a fa1
than the date on the instrument.
Attorney Lusk put on the stand a
number of old settlers who knew Sam
uel and William Murdoch, for the pur-
pose of proving the financial standing
of each of them But the court refused
to admit all questions showing what
either of them had.
The defendants attorney also called
the ex-County Assessor and Auditor tc
show the amount of property assessed
to Samuel, William or GAVIN w. Muir
dock for the years from 1860 to 1885
but the admission of this evidence was
also refused by the court on objection
! by the plaintiffs.
| Mrs. Eleanor Murdoch, wife of Will
lam Murdocks brother Samuel, was put
on the stand just before adjournment
| She is employed in the Mint at Sar
Francisco, and knew William Murdock
| since 1858. She met the plaintiff al
several places in San Francisco a num-
Der of times before and after the death
| of William Murdoch. She heard the
| plaintiff say, while William Murdoch
was being treated in a sanitarium in
San Francisco, that she did not see why
| he should grudge himself brandy al
s. BOTTLE when he did not owe any
body a dollar, and had no children
The witness contradicted the testi-
mony of c. Ashhurst, and said tina.
when he visited William Murdoch with
| her at the sanitarium not one word
] was mentioned about getting money
Ito redeem her property, as he swore.
