While two hundred of the chosen
daughters of California were marching
at Monterey in the form of an Ameri
can flag and singing the "Star-Span
?*ted Banner" in honor of the semi-sen
teiuiitU of toe raising of "Old Glory" on
these shores and the acquisition of this
fa*r»4a*i:d, wha/t was transpiring at Chi
cago 'in the headquarters of the Demo
cratic delegation Cram California** Why,
almost at the same hour Blackburn of
Kentucky, bfr invitation, was roaa«lna
the praises of treason hi the California
rooms and declaring that he and "Billy"
Foote, who welcomed him, had first met
as blanket mates in the moot glorious
period of their lives wiien fighting for
the Confederacy and against the nag of
the republic. And he added that which
should have been unsaid, no matter hoof
much felt, that he had no regrets for
his act and no apologies to make, and
he and Foots were proud of this "serv
ice" to their country. And then the
crowd sang and what were the melodies
which scorched the air and shriveled
the breath of patriotism? Not the di
vine strains of the air that the women of
California were singing at Monterey in
honor of a glorious achievement by Com
modore Sloat No, but there, was roared
out "The Bonnie Blue Flag," "Dixie"
and other songs reminiscent of rebellion
and blood and a million of lost lives. Ia
treason to mount the saddle once more,
reinforced by Altgeld anarchism and
"anything to win"? Ia the love of the
Union to be contemned and the men
who did to death the representatives of
the law who fell in Haymarket Square
in '87 to be newly honored and the he
roes who died in the trenches from '01
to '65 be Insulted by the bravado of
rebel bullies as they flaunt their despite
in the faces of freemen?
The Buffalo "Express," in the wit
tiest of sarcastic strains, deplores the
businesslike, open, and manly methods
of Mr. Hantna, McKinley's manager. In
the name of the memories ot the dead
and gone bosses, what right had this
frank, square and level-headed busi
ness man to supersede the ways of the
wily politician with the straightfor
wardness of the business man, with
nothing to conceal and everything to
do in the open. The "Express" saye:
Nobody but a mere business man, an
amateur of politics, a doctrinaire and
a dreamer, would have thought of pur
suing the course Mark Hanna took to
nominate William McKinley. He ac
tnally applied to politics the same sim
ple, direct, vigorous methods by which
be has succeeded in his regular business.
Not being familiar with, or, as some
might say, iHsnpered by, the traditions
of politics, he had nothing to fall back
upon save his mercantile experience,
ln the iron business, of which Mr. Han
na is a student, if you wish to prosper,
you must first produce a better line
you must first produce a better line of
goods than any of your competitors, and
then dispatch your drummers to "visit
the trade" in advance of all rival
houses. Mark Hanna concluded that
McKinley was the best thing in the
Presidential market this year. And he
sent cut his travelers very early. When
the professionals came to visit the de
batable States they found that the am
ateur Hanna and his agents had been
there months before. Instead of being
satisfied to "divide the territory" in a
quiet, conservative way, the Cleveland
iron man and political dilettante in
sisted on having all the delegates.
Mayor Ochs of Chattanooga declares
in a recent essay that the bad citizen
ship of the good citizen is the main
cause of our municipal ills. This is
the neatest possible way of putting the
whole question of municipal reform.
If they who claim to be good citizens
do each the full duty of the good eitiz n.
there will be no municipal liiisiiiiuiap.-
ment, nor any municipal incompetency
in office or trust. As Mayor Oehs well
gays: "If the man o2 property, the man
of brains, the citizen who has neither
political debts to pay nor political fa
vor* to seek, the really independent
voter who is entirely free from the
temptations that beset the time-serving
politician or the ambitious place-seeker,
would give even a small share of ordi
r.nry attention to his duties as stock
holder in the municipal corporation, the
evils which he so loudly complains of,
and which he yet condones by his non
action, would speedily disappear. The
duty of citizenship is personal, and no
one can depend upon his neighbor to
perform it for him. Proxies are prohib
ited in voting opinions, and should be in
voicing them."
The bolting of men from conventions
and from former lines of fealty, the de
parture of newspapers upon new tacks
in political waters, and the protests
against party action by partisans, none
of these in themselves have elements
that should alarm. The fact is that the
right to bolt is a sacred one, and we
have no condemnation for the man who
conscientiously exercises it. His judg
ment may be wrong and the proper sub
ject for switching sharply, and for the
most incisive criticism, but the absolute
right to bolt is not to be denied nor is he
to be lampooned for availing of it. Who
ever sees a thing in the light of to-day
differently from his view of it in the
light of yesterday, Is sound in the con
sistency that is right to-day regardless
of yesterday. Where the bolt is made,
however, to win the applause of the
moment- to puff self into undue prom
inence, to satisfy disappointed greed or
sooth denied ambition; where it is made
with an eye single to the main chance,
and is merely the manifestation of the
.iemagogue, there is no language too se
vere, nor terms of reproach too bitter,
with which to visit such hypocrisy.
In the midst of so much misrep
resentation concerning American
tinanctfl and systems, it may be well to
call attentlOO to the fact, which the
Official records show, that the per cap
ita of gold money in the United States
is to-day: Gold, $8 78; silver, $8 89;
paper, §5 02; total, §23 59. France,
which is so often compared with the
United States, has, per capita: Gold,
$22 19; silver, $12 74; paper, $0 85; to
tal, $35 78. Germany has: Gold, $12 21;
silver, $4 -0; paper, $1 18. In the
United States our stock of gold is
(618,100,000, silver, $025.60U,0UU, of
which $548,400,000 is full legal tender,
and $77,200,000 limited tender. There
are but two other nations having so
large a stock of silver money, namely,
India and China, while France has
nearly two hundered millions more of
gold than the United States, and Ger
many slightly exceeds us. England—
the United Kingdom—has less than the
United States. These are the facts
ohown by the statistics.
The only surprise is that the National
Democratic Convention, while waiting
for the report of committees yesterday,
did not adjourn to Haymarket Square
and hear a speech from Johann Prudhon
Altgeld from the foot of the monument
orected to the memory ot the nineteen
dead policemen Altgeld's pardoned an
iMfeMi blew into kingdom come in
1887. With Altgeld roaring disloyalty
from the base of that silent figure In
brense representing the majesty of the
iaw, with Tammany braves dancing a
scalp quickstep around the massive
pedestal, and with the atmosphere still
blue with the disloyalty and treason of
Altgeld in 1894, when he denied the
right of the President of the United
states; to throttle the conspiracy to
seize the Government and unloose the
tent hooks of the republic, and when
he patted rioters on the back as they
killed and burned and wrecked, what a
glorious day yesterday would have been
in the city by the great lake of the blue
waters and the mild-eyed white fish.
The chaplain at the Chicago Conven
tion prayed thus: "O, God of our fath
re, continue to guide and sustain thy
children. In our doubts and fears and
distress we cry unto Thee for help.
Grant us wisdom to know among all
the perplexing problems of this time,
re Hee the path of honor and safe
ty." That chaplain was too previous.
There are some things that it is prob
: , Almighty would not undertake
Arhen an Altgeld Democratic Conven
i tion is concerned. Grant them wisdom?
i Certainly, but how would they use it?
Guide them to the path of honor and
safety. Assuredly, but what guarantee
would there be that they would take it?
lif Altgeld faced for the broad, smooth
i ;:jid downward road all the hosts of
luaven could not hold the convention
from following pell inell though hell was
but a half-mile distant. "Trust in God"
la an exalted maxim, but there is such
| thing as asking too much of even the
Deft*.
The Chicago an in
dependent journal, says of Mr. Hanna
!a* I "haii-man of the National Republican
j Committee*
Under Mark Hanna'* Chairmanship
!no Republican leader worthy of the

and anarchy, and while they have been
driven by a frenzy, they have been
steadily intensifying and strengthening
it by sheer cowardice."
Edward Atkinson, the distinguished
political economist and statistician, in
his latest essay on business depres
sion, says that the discredit of the
Bland-Sherman legislation caused the
panic and depression of 1893. Now he
predicts, if the present attempt to dis
credit affects business no more than 5
per cent., it will mean the compulsory
idleness of 1,200,000 workers, as that
number represents 5 per cent, of the
24,000,000 workers in the land. But if
discredit assumes a graver aspect, as it
threatens to do under the propositions
to which the Democratic party is now
tying itself, the paralysis that will fol
low will be too fearful to contemplate.
Now where is justice hiding her di
minished head? Here is a fellow in
Michigan, who, having won the affec
tions of a maiden and been betrothed
to her, lost his girl by the wiles of a
fellow who seduced her and alienated
her affections from him. The original
lover sued to recover in damages, but
the unfeeling court (Casey vs. Smith,
01, L. R. A.) holds that there can be no
recovery, and the unhappy lover loses
not only his girl but his suit. Here, now,
is another opportunity for a Democratic
Convention to denounce the growing
tyranny of the courts and their tres
passes upon human rights, etc., etc.
There is going to be a funeral in No
vember. The Democratic party is to be
buried and Altgeld will be the officiating
clergyman. Or, rather, as one of the
press reporters in Chicago better puts
it, the Democracy is digging its own
grave with a silver mattock and Alt
geld is the sexton.
Very evidently "everything goes" at
the National Demociatic Convention.
The order seems to be "anything you
want, and if you don't see It, ask for
it."
ANECDOTES WORTH TELLING.
Each Has a Streak of Humor or a
Grain of Philosophy.
A writer in one of the English re
views relates that during a conversa
tion with George Eliot, not long before
her death, a vase toppled over on the
mantlepiece. The great writer quickly
and unconsciously put out her hand
to stop its fall.
"I hope," said she, replacing it, "that
the time will come when we shall In
stinctively hold up the man or woman
who begins to fall as naturally and un
ccnsciously as we arrest a falling piece
of furniture or an ornament."
A tutor of one of the Oxford colleges
who limped in his walk was some years
ago accosted by a w T ell-known politi
cian, who asked him if he were not
the chaplain of the college at such a
time, naming the year. The doctor re
plied that he was. The interrogator ob
served:
"I knew you by your limp."
"Well," safei tfye doctor, "it seemed
my limping made a deeper impression
than my preaching."
"Ah, doctor," was the reply, with
ready wit, "It is the highest compli
ment we oan pay a minister to say that
he is known by his walk rather than
by his conversation."
Socrates, the ecclesiastical historiog
rapher, reports a story of one Pambo,
a plain, ignorant man who came to a
learned man and desired to teach him
some pslam or other. He began to read
unto him the 39th psalm: "I said
I will take heed to my ways that I sin
rot with my tongue." Having passed
this first verse, Pambo shut the book
and took his leave, saying that he
would go and learn that point first.
When he had absented himself for the
space of nine months he was demanded
of his reader when hewould go forward.
He answered that he had pot yet
learned his old lesson, and he gave
the very same answer to one that asked
the like question forty-nine years af
ter.
Sir Astley Cooper, on visiting Paris,
was asked by the surgeon "en chef" of
the empire how many times he had
performed a certain wonderful feat of
surgery'- He replied that he had per
formed the operation thirteen times.
"Ah, but, monsieur, I have done him
100 times. How many times did you
save life?" continued the curious
Frenchman, after he had looked into
the blank amazement of Sir Astley's
face.
"I," said the Englishman, "saved
eleven out of the thirteen. How many
did you save out of 100?"
"Ah, monsieur, lose dem all; but de
operation was very brilliant."
SOME FANCIES IN FOOD.
A Mutton Chop Would Have Been
Abhorred by the Thebans.
From the-beginning of time there has
been always some variety of fruit, fish,
vegetable or meat which certain por
tions of mankind refused to eat. Among
the edibles at some time or other under
the ban were the apple, pear, straw
berry) quince, bean, onion, leek, aspara
gus, woodpecker, pigeon, goose, deer,
h. ar, turtle and eel.
The Jews have an antipathy to pork.
On the other hand, this meat was highly
esteemed by the ancient Greeks and
Romans, as frequent reference to it In
accounts of banquets: is made. At the
great feast held annually in honor of
Desneter roast pig was always the piece
de resistance. Those who took part in
another Grecian festival abstained,
however, from beans.
Mil c are esteemed in China and some
parte of India, while, on the other hand,
the Egyptians, Creeks and Jews ab
horred mouse meat. In rats
and field mice were sacred and in Greece
the mouse was sacred to Apollo.
People have abstained from eating
flesh which we think is pretty good
stuff. For example—the Thebans would
not touch mutton —and what cam be
said against a juicy mutton chop? The
Romans sneered at the Egyptians be
cause the latter would not eat onions
and garlic, while on the other hand the
Romans refused to touch woodpecker
stew.
It is claimed by students that antipa
thy to any kind of meat has its origin
In the peculiar custon and belief ealh 1
totehnn. There is a time in the history
of every people when they claim kin
ship and desomt front wild beasts and
birds. Tht* particular animal is the
family totem ami they religiously re
frain from eating it. Xo member of the
ii- ar family, for instance, would eat
bear meat If starving.
The survival of antipathy to certain
fOodfl was found among people SO high
ly civilised as the Egyptians. Greeks
and Romans. The goat could not be
eaten in Uendea, nor the cat in Bubas
tis. nor the crocodile at Omtoos, nor the
rat. WhMfa was sacred to the sun god.
In Greene families were named after
plants as well as animals.
VOICE OF THE PRESS.
EXPRESSIONS OF INTERIOR CALI
FORNIA NEWSPAPERS.
Comments Upon Things Local, Gov
ernmental, Practical, Theoret
ical and Current.
Oakland Tribune: California, of all
States in the Union, is directly inter
ested ln protection. There is hardly an
industry in this State, except mining,
that is not directly and specifically de
pendent upon protection for success.
Especially is this the case with its infant
manufacturing industries —and greater
still in its present wool and wine pro
ducts. It is a gold producing State,
and its agricultural productions com
mand gold payments, and the people
ought to fully comprehend their inter
ests and welfare in this crisis upon
which depends a return to prosperity,
or another four years of depression,
stagnation of business and demoraliza
tion which threaten us. It is time for
calm reason and careful study of the
situation, that the best remedy for pres
ent evils may be seized upon.
THE ANARCHIST SYMPATHIZER.
Los Angeles Times: The prominence
of the anarchist sympathizer, John P.
Altgeld of Illinois, is what is distress
ing the law-abiding and loyal element in
the Democratic party. The Peoria Con
vention, last week, failed to show that
anybody else but Altgeld was "in it"
from start to finish. There was never
a more devilish lot of villains than the
Haymarket rioters of Chicago, and Alt
geld pardoned all of them that he could
find unhung. Should he receive a
place on the Democratic national ticket?
The law-abiding men will break to Mc-
Kinley just as the war Democrats ral
lied in 1861 to the support of honest old
Abraham Lincoln.
WILL CARRY CALIFORNIA.
Los Angeles Times: That McKinley
will carry California by a larger major
ity than any candidate has done in the
past is a foregone conclusion, but just
how large is a point on which the best
judges disagree. The Democratic pa
pers all point to the money plank in the
St. Louis platform and talk about the
defection of silver Republicans from the
ranks. But they overlook one point in
MeKinley's favor that will make him
three votes where he loses one on the
silver craze. It is his authorship of
the tariff of 1800, and the men who
will rush to his support are the fruit
growers of California, in a legion, on
that very account.
Just hereabouts It will not make any
particular difference. The vote of the
counties south of the great Tehachapi
range is naturally Republican, and they
will see no reason for bolting so sturdy
and manly an exponent of Republican
principles as McKinley at this late day.
The great protectionist will lose no
strength in Southern California, either
from the recalcitrance of silver advo
cates or for any other reason. The only
Republican losses by reason of Teller's
bolt will be in the counties of San Fran
cisco and Alameda, where sliver clubs
have been in existence for several years
and are well organized. But there will
be gains elsewhere.
TRUE BIMETALLISM.
Portland Oregon ian,: The Bimetallic
League, ln its official statement, says:
'The aim of this league is to secure by
international agreement the opening of
the mints of the leading commercial na
tions to the unrestricted coinage of gold
and silver at ratio as may be
mutually agreed 'upon amongst those
nations."
This is bimetallism. It is the only pos
sible bimetallism. It is is the bimetal
lism that the Republican platform calls
for. It Is the bimetallism that Whitney
and his associates at Chicago are com
mending to the Democratic party, in
stead of that silver monometallism
which would be the result of free
independent coinage cf silver by the
United States. The "Oregonlan" freely
admits that it sees little present pros
pect of securing international action
and agreement, and is not altogether
sanguine as to the result, even if such
agreement should be obtained. But
neither of these doubts is any part of
the present question. No nation can do
this alone. The leading commercial na
tions may accomplish it together. But,
whether they do or not, or can or not,
there is no other way. Isolated action
by any nation, in the name of bimetal
lism, would not give such nation the
joint standard, but would throw it oft
the gold basis and reduce it to silver
monometallism.
THE GUILTY ROGUE.
Stockton Independent: Hildreth, in
his history of the United States, which
is one of the best, if not absolutely the
best, ever written, shows that all the
serious errors on the subject of the tariff
were perpetrated by the Democrats and
their predecessors. He says in sub
stance that protection was always suc
cessful when managed by its friends,
and only failed when its enemies, who
did not understand it, attempted to act
upon it. The Republican party has al
ways been the friend of protection, as
was its predecessor, the Whig party,
and is the safest to trust to restore and
manage protection, because it under
stands it, believes in it land sympathizes
with its object, the up-building of
American industries.
NEVER HAD BUT ONE.
Tulare Register: It is popularly sup
posed that the coinage of silver has en
tirely stopped, but such is not the fact.
During June the mints were especially
busy and among other coins struck were
1,500,000 standard dollar pieces. There
were also coined $1,643,423 in subsidiary
Silver coin, $202,019 in nickels and cop
pers and last, but by no means least,
were $4,023,929 in good gold of the
realm. Kindly remember, too, that
every one of these dollars is as good as
the. best gold and it is all standard
money except the fractional pieces used
for change. Two half dolars do not
weigh as much as a silver dollar. They
have not since 1853, when the weight
of the half dollar was cut down from
20<> 1 4 grains to 192 grains and for the
reason that all the silver coin of full
weight was put into the melting pot as
soon as issued for it was worth more as
bullion than as silver and it all went
abroad or was used in the arts. To stop
this Congress In 1853 decreased the
weight of the subsidiary coin so that it
was afterward worth more as money
than as bullion. The standard dollars.

though, were still worth more as bullion
than as money and went out of circula
tion as fast as coined, leaving our coun
try with a gold standard, and we have
had a gold standard ever since IS4O.
when the ratio was changed from 15 to
1 to 16 to 1. Before that we had a. silver
standard and the gold all left the coun
try as fast as coined because it was
then worth more as bullion in the mar
kets of the world than as money at
home. The fact of the business is that
this country never really did have a
double standard for a single year in all
its history, for one metal or the other
was always worth more as bullion than
as money and went out of circulation
as fast as put in.
ON LENDING MONEY.
San Jose Herald: A Stockton paper
declares that no money can be bor
rowed from San Francisco banks on
San Joaquin valley farm lands and at
tributes it, by a queer process of reason
ing, to the "demonetization of silver"
and the "contraction of the volume of
money by the destruction of one-half
oi it." This, it claims, has caused a de
cline in the value of land and may cause
a still further decline, which is the rea
son why the bankers refuse to loan.
Of course this is all exceedingly fool
ish, yet probably it will deceive some
people. Silver is not "demonetized;"
there has been no "contraction of the
volume of money by tiie destruction of
one-half of it;" there is more money in
circulation to-day per capita, by 25 per
cent., than there was before the alleged
"demonetization" of silver; there is
about $1,000,000,000 in gold and silver
in circulation, or represented by paper
certificates, where there was none be
fore "demonetization," and it is all le
gal tender and receivable for all pub
lic and private dues. Before "demon
etization" we had no gold or silver:
nothing but depreciated paper. Yet this
silverite organ is either ignorant or un
truthful enough to misrepresent the
facts as it does.
If it had any conception of monetary
questions it would understand that the
bankers and business men of the whole
United States, and also of Europe, are
waiting to see what we are going to do
about the money question before they
loan money or make investments.
With the threat of free silver coinage
hanging over them the banks do not
want to loan unless they know what
kind of money they are going to be paid
in. Also they want to know what the
probabilities are that the borrowers will
be able to pay them in any kind of
money. They know that a change to
the single silver standard, which will
surely follow free silver coinage, will
cause a great financial revulsion; and
they simply refuse to take any chances
on loaning with such a revulsion in
prospect.
