- -AHAI'A OH UNREST.
There is considerable unrest and some
alarm by the people Of the United States
by reason Of the conditions in our own
country and those now prevailing in
Mexico. If the people only take time
to consider these conditions. they will
soon satisfy themselves alt there is NO
sufficient cause for unrest and none for
alarm whatever.
This country is very prosperous in all
OF lis departments. We have an
abundance of money in this country.
The United States Treasury is abuul-
antly supplied and the banks are all ple-
thoric with money of all descriptions,
gold, silver and paper.
The people are as prosperous as any
nation in the world and far more pros
porous than great majority of the ma
tions Of the world. All departments of
business is prosperous and work is
abundant and at more remunerative
wages than ever before in our history.
and there is more demand for labor than
the people have ever known.
Our lands are mere productive than
they have ever been, and much more Of
1t is under cultivation than ever before.
There is really more demand for labor
than for anything else. even at the ad-
vlnced wages and the great increase in
labor say,u5 machinery. 1t is true that
the bumper crops that were predicted |
will not be realized because the dry !
weather in many parts of the country
have made the crops shorter than was
indicated and expected but still we will
have an abundance to satisfy all Of the
needs Of the people, and large amount
will be left for foreign export. And
even If the crops and especially corn,
are very short, the prices that will
be obtained for them, will make up for
the loss in quantity. But even if the
result in money is less than some years,
we must not expect to be always fortu.
nate enough to have the best of crops
and to realize the highest prices. we
should be content with the conditions.

who is big enough to rise above
the disappointment Of his defeat

with one Democratic editor as
with another. Give every dem

him through many a hard fought

he is a fair man and will
do the square thing by the
loyal democratic press of Union

 While the McNamara jury was be- ing impaneled, witnesses kept arriving in Los Angeles. That they might have chance to see Jim McNamara and identify him, they were taken to court and were given seats where they would have a good chance to see the defendant. Therefore, every day when McNamara looked about the courtroom he saw one or two persons staring at him intently. Naturally he recognized some of them. He must have asked himself where he had seen those faces before. Sometimes he could not re- call. At other times he could. In both cases he was frightened.
 So was kept up, day after day, an endless procession of accusing faces leVeled at him. It did seem endless, too, for there were more than a hund- red such witnesses. The strain began to tell on him. He thought about those faces in the cell every day after he left court. He had plenty of time to think about them in the loneliness and silence of his prison.
