Speech of Governor Gage.

Governor Henry Z. Gage made his
first speech in the present political
campaign at Metropolitan Temple, San
Francisco, Sept. 2Sth. The spacious
building was crowded to the doors, and
the speaker was frequently applauded.
Colonel George r. Stone, Chairman
of the Republican State Central Com
mittee, presided, and on the platform
were number Of honorary Vice Presi-
dents and prominent mem bers of the
party.
On being introduced, the Governor
said he had been asked to present an
argument on socialism, imperialism and
militarism. ''Three issues, =" he assert
ed, ''go hand in hand, and when [ Join
them for the purpose of my argument,
[ do not feel that [ have blundered.
Some of Mr.. Bryan's followers in Colo
rado attempted not long since, with
rocks, to stay q patriotic welcome to
one of Americas greatest citizens. 1t
will take greater means than this to
stay the tide of truth and right, pros
perity and national honor.
'Once more the contest of 1896 is re-
newed, and the issues which were then
disposed of have been revived. The
issues are the same, although some
Democratic disguises have been adopt-
ed.
'"The Bryan seceders from the Demo-
cracy of Grover Cleveland, intoxicated
by the foaming words and sparkling
sound OF William J. Bryan, against the
advice of Democratic statesmen and
their well balanced leaders, renounced
the best traditions of Democracy, fused
with the Populists, and asserted in the
Chicago platform that the money ques-
tion was paramount to all others. Now
they attempt to make paramount the
false issue of imperialism.
''Hhe tariff and financial questions
are of vast Importance to the country.
and the attempt of Mr.. Bryan and his
cohorts TO evade these issues is an at
tempt to achieve party triumph on a
false basis, in order that they NAV
ultimately enforce their abominable
doctrine Of free silver, which the people
of America condemned in 1885,
Before taking up the subject of i'm
perialism, the Governor refuted the
charge that the Republicans are allied
to the trusts. He showed that while
both platforms declared against the
trusts, the Republicans alone had taken
any action toward their regulation.
He said that while in Congress Mr..
Bryan had made no move against them,
but Mr.. Mckinley both worked and
voted for the antitrust law of 1890.
The Governor then took up the ques-
tlon OF the government of the Philip
pines, and argued strongly in favor of
the policy of the Administration. He
asserted that it was no more an act of
imperialism to protect our soldiers
from the assaults of armed rebel forces
and suppress a revolt than it was to
direct our troops to Pekin and rescue
our Minister and the helpless men and
women in the legation.
After denouncing the socialistic ten
denotes of the Bryan Democracy, the
Governor closed with a glowing eulogy
to President Mckinley

VIII Vote For More Prosperity.

y prominent Jacksonite mot James
Moore of Lancha Plana, one day this
week, and during the conversation,
Mr. Moore. who is about 73 years of
age and life long Democrat, took oc-
casion to declare that Mckinley would
get his vote this year for during his
administration times had been better
than Tor the past forty years MIR.
Moore said he had paid more by fifty
cents Il day for farm labor than ever
before, but he could well afford to do it..
He proposes to let well enough alone
and cast his vote for more prosperity.
There are thousands of wise Democrats
in California who think as MIR. Moore
does, and they will vote to man for
Mckinley.

Geo. Huberty Exonerated.

In the San Francisco Cali of Sept.
80, the following statement in exoncra-
tion of Geo. Huberty appeared:
''Sheriff U. S. Gregory of Amador
county has completed his investigation
into the matter of the death OF Joseph
FORBADE of jackson. Forcade's body
was brought to this city for burial,
and j. X. Ross of 240 Montgomery
street called at the Coroner's Office and
exhibited letter written by a friend
OF his in Jackson suggesting that
Forcade's death might have been the
result of violence.
The matter WAS reported to Sheriff
Gregory and he made u thorough in
vestigation. Ie found that FORBADE
had lived in George Huberty's house
in jackson for several years and that
ho was taken sick with pneumonia.
Mr.. and Mrs. Huherty attended to the
sick man and took Us good care Of him
Z though he were their own son.
After FORBADE died the Hubertys had
lis body embalmed, provided d casket
for the remains and sent them to
Forcade's friends in this city,

Expansion and McKinley's
Philippine Policy.
GOVERNOR GAGE MAKES A POLITICAL SPEECH
11on. 6. D. Woods Receiving Very En-
couraging Receptions Tn HIS
CaInai@n Tour.

The San Francisco Evening post
Of Friday, Sept. p, contains extracts
from the San Francisco ''Examiner'
conclusively showing that "Every Re-
publican contention relating to ex-
pansion and the Philippine policy of
President Mckinley's Administration
has been heartily commended by w.
Il. Hearst and the San Francisco
Examine" and the New York
journal" "
We reproduce two of the extracts
from the ''EXaminer' which the
Post" quoted. which are as fellows:
FILIPINOS WEOLLY UNFIT FOR Sci, e.
GOVERNMENT.
In an editorial from the ''Examiner"
of May IL, 1898, was the following:
'"The Islands are valuable-so val
uable that almost any European power
would undertake the task of reducing
them were reasonable excuse offered
They are practically forced on our
hands by the logic of remorseless cir
cumstance. We cannot conveniently
rid ourselves of them even if we would.
1t is certain that the half-civilized
natives are wholly unfit for self-govern-
ment. Their future is in the hands of
America -
HOW WE CAME BY THE PHILIPPINES.
In an article appearing in the
Examiner Sunday, June 10, 1898,
entitled 'Our Interests in the Philip
pines, there is clearly set forth lust
and true account OF how the Philip
pines came into the possession of the
United States. It will be observed that
this account affords not 50 much as an
lntimation of an imperialistic policy on
behalf of the administration, but it
confines itself tC 2 straightforward
narration of the absolute facts.
The circumstance that Spanish
fleet was stationed at Manila, in q posi-
tion to sweep American commerce from
the Pacific, if not to attack the Pacific
Coast, made it necessary to send Ad-
miral Dewey to destroy it. And with
the destruction of the fleet the RESPONSE
bilities came upon us. The islands are
ours lacking but the army to take
physical possession, and that army is
now on the way. The fate of the is
lands and their seven million or more
inhabitants rests on our decision, and
the country must Of necessity consider
what is to be done with them.
For the present, there is no recourse
but to take charge and see that they
are properly governed. Even though
we wish to dispose of them, that is out
of the question at present. Considera-
tions of humanity forbid us to give
them back to Spain. 1t would not be
less cruel to abandon them to the
natives, lacking, as they are, all
hereditary or acquired capacity for
managing their own affairs. That
would be to leave them without even
the machinery for the preservation of
order that has been given them by
Spain, and would probably condemn
them to anarchy for decades to come,
to be followed by their division among
the powers of Europe. For the present
therefore, we must accept our response
bilities, and administer the islands as
trustees for their people until such
time as we can decide upon the perman-
ent settlement of the question.

E,-e ct sntter Greek.

last Monday afternoon the home of
Mrs. Mary Prosser, Sutter Creek,
situated near the Brewery, was dis
covered to be In flames. Prompt work
saved the structure, and the furniture,
which had all been removed, was taken
back into the house. Monday night,
however, the fire broke ont again, and
destroyed the house including the
furniture. 1t is stated that the fire in
the afternoon was not entirely ex-
tingulshed, smoldering spark some
where ii the building eluded the OBJ
servation OF the lire fighters, and later
destroyed the property.
The property, we are told, was in
sured, but as to the amount we are not
informed. Sutter Greek is unfortunate
in the matter OF disastrous fires.
