The Republican Administration.
The existing Republican administra-
ton has been spasmodic, erratic, SEN
sational, spectacular and arbitrary. 1t
has made itself a satire upon the Con-
gress, the courts and upon the settled
practices and usages of national and
International law.
1t summoned the Congress into hasty
futile extra session, and virtually adj
journed it. leaving behind in its flight
from Washington uncalled calendars
and unaccomplished tasks.
1t made war. which is the sole power
of Congress, without its authority
thereby usurping one of it's fundamen-
tai prerogatives. It violated a plain
statute of the United States as well as
plain treaty obligations, International
I usages and constitutional law; and has
done so under pretense of executing
a great public policy which could have
been more easily effected lawfully,
cOnstitutionally and with honor.

Other Pleas for the Plank.
Mr.. Poe of Maryland made a brief
but vigorous appeal for the gold plank,
declaring that if the party in its plat
form refused to recognize an existing
TACT he feared that Maryland would
be lost to the Democrats in the fall
elections. The question was demand
ed, and the gold plank was stricken
out by a vote OF S5 to 10.
Mr.. Bryan got on the floor soon af-
ter the adoption of the motion strik-
ing out the gold plank and informally
presented for the individual considera-
ton of the members of the committee,

tention later to present as a substitute
for the gold plank.
The Panama canal plank was modi-
fed so as to promise to do what could
be done when Democrats get control
of the government.
The committee then took up the
trust plank. This was the subject of
considerable discussion, Senator Bal

speakers in defense of the sub-com-

Mr.. Bryan offered an amendment to
this plank, declaring in specific terms
for the prosecution of the trusts and
reciting the manner in which it should
be done. This was voted in by % to

in length pushes into the waters of the

cured terminal which is expected to
be the principal shipping point -on this
coast. It was by acquiring the right to
operate the Richmond Belt railroad
that the Santa F'e obtained wharf at
which deep water vessels may load and
discharge.
The operating of the new belt rail-
road was given into the hands of the
Santa Fe company last Saturday, and

with the railroad an electric railway
is to be constructed from Point Rich

part of the scheme to make the region
adjacent to San Pablo Point a great
shipping and manufacturing center.

The railroad belts the Santa Fe and
Southern Pacific tracks near Richmond

completion the Santa F'e company has

Pacific company in case it chooses to
use the terminus at San Pablo Point.

PLEASANT SURPRISE
In Store for Those Who Doubt.

When you read that a sufferer of
many years standing has been COM
pletely restored to health by using
Smiths Cure-all you are inclined to
doubt the statement and, in fact. have
no belief in it whatever. The reason
for this is that so much is claimed for
the Cure-al it is impossible for any,
one to believe it: if the advertiser con-
fined his claims to the curing of one
disease, as do the proprietorS of PYra-
mid Pile Cure, readers would have much
more faith in published testimonials.
Those familiar with this great remedy
know that testimonials as to its merit
may be relied upon implicitly, also that
the cures brought about by it's use are
little short of marvellous. The genuine
ness of the testimonial here given is
Vouched for and is but one of thou
sands received:
Il wish to write YOU and tell you
what your Pyramid Pile Cure has done
for me. l have been troubled with
piles for the past five years and used
every remedy that was recommended
to me. While some would give me re-
lief for a while they never have cured.
! was so bad this summer 1 could not
get up or down without pain; could not
attend to my household duties Finally
I got a 0O-cent box of your Pyramid
Pile Cure at the druggists and it is
now two months since 1 used the last
of the box. and have had no trouble
sinca ] can say it is really and truly
a good remedy
Il am so thankful tried it as I
know it has cured me- and if at any
time ! should have any such trou BILE
again I would use it at once. Since I
am cured I have recommended it to
my friends, whom I know to be afflicted
as I was. and I know they will use it
too. I am so thankful 1 ever learned
