HER CONVENTION,
Continued from Firtt Page.
riot produce enough ■wealth to pay the
enormous usury on a debt that was grow
ing greater and greater all the time and at
thP same time decently feed and clothe all
the people. That was one plain statement
pi the case.
.Any measure that should promise genu
ine relief from this condition of labor
slavery must be put in plain and compre
hensive words. There were now just two
things to be done: Let the Government be
come bankrupt or let the Government in
flate the currency. Bankruptcy of the
government meant starvation and com
plete slavery for the masses. Were the
currency to "be inflated the* great National
debt could be paid and the ruinous usury
be stopped. They talked of honest money.
"Shall man be more honest than God ? he
asked. What money could be more honest
than that which enabled the farmer ami the
w.orkingman to pay bis debts and feed ana
clothe his babies? Every policy was dis
honest thai robbed the laborer of the re
wards of his industry.
What weapons should be used to accom
plish the desired results? One, at least,
should be the demand for the abolition of
the National banks. Every one of these
banks constituted an armed fortress with
guns trained on the silver propagandists.
A man who had not yet recognized the
truth of that statement had yet to gam a
ctear conception of the present conflict. It
would be a serious mistake if the silver
men did not unite on this point and face
the issue against the National banks
squarely. i 3 „ _,
In concluding his address Mr. Cator
urged Upon the notice of the convention
the "plain and simple statement of fact
contained in the platform of the .banners
Alliance and advised thorn to so frame
their own platform tnat the farmers could
Conscientiour-ly stand with them in the
great conflict.
"We need the unity of forces, he said,
; ?'.but must have the unity without the sac
rifice of principle. It was Thomas Jeffer
son who said that bank paper must be
abolished and the circulating medium re
itore'd to the exclusive control of the Na
tional Government. Later on Jefferson
wrote that banks were more dangerous
than standing armies, and he never uttered
a truer word. What was true then is
doubly true now. Our greatest foe to-day
15 the National bank."
A. R. Catton of San Francisco was the
next speaker. Mr. Catton was a member
o! the Congress that passed the bill for the
demonetization of silver in 1873, and he was
introduced by Chairman Baker as "one
who had been sorry for hjs sad mistake
ever si flee." Mr. Catton said in part:
"I am glad for the privileee of address
ing the convention for it will afford me an
opportunity of explaining the great mis
take I made in voting for the demonetiza
tion of silver in 1873. This bill was passed
in error, and contained the repealing
clause that has worked so much disorder
to the financial system of our country.
Many of us did not seem to realize at the
time what we were voting for. The bills
are read by title oniy, ana no prominence
vcas given'to the little joker that was des
tined years after to create such a stir all
over the country. As an example of how
little was really known of this bill I need
only cite the fact that not a single paper in
'the United States published the fact that
8 law demonetizing silver had been passed.
( .'of the many correspondents present not
6ne sent his paper a single line on the sub
ject. This shows how little was thought
of the matter at the time of its occurrence.
For my vote on this bill I apologize to the
gentlemen of the convention.
:• f The rinancisTpolicy now being pursued
by the Government is wrong, and if in
sisted upon will eventually ruin the coun
try; I believe that this convention will do
a great deal of good. It will result h>st of
ail in a more critical consideration of the
silver question by the people at large. It
vvjfl prove a potent factor in educating the
masses. When the people understand it
and attest their convictions at the ballot
box there can be but one result— right will
ultimately triumph."
THE EVENING SESSION.
Interesting Addresses by Miss
. Phoebe Cousins and Morris
.. M. Estee.
The evening session was very largely at
tended and a ereat many ladies were in the

audience. There was an excellent band
that rendered patriotic music; there were
V flowers for the lady speaker, Miss Cousins ;
•; there ;was enthusiasm throughout. Morris
. : M. .Estee was the second speaker of the
• Session.; and his appearance was roundly
• applauded. It was in the nature of a lit
erary entertainment— evening session—
and' the literary committee had performed
■-its labors well.
■";•;, Miss Phoebe Cousins was- introduced as
;':tt£e\ first orator, after the opening overture
of the .band. She brought with her greet
- ing^ from Richard E. Bland, known in his
.v own State of Missouri as "Silver Dick,"
'. 6 be said. / She had hoped to read a letter
: ; " i roiri: this; distinguished leader, but the'
.mails bad delayed it.
;:• ./Miss- 'Cousins then spoke of . San Fran
cisco's recent Fourth of July celebration,
' wfiich was on such a magnificent scale,
she said, as to have attracted attention
from all over the country. But tbe patri
otic speeches were all for naught, she de
clared. While they were in progress Wil
liam E. Curtis and Logan CaTlisle of the
treasury were speeding across the ocean,
carrying six million dollars' worth of
golden bonds with which to further
strengthen the golden yoke that England
is now fixing upon this Nation.
"I came from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
starting a year ago," she said. Then she
told of the strange things she had seen in
New York— the great destitution of the
slums and the wanton luxuries of Fifth
avenue. In Central Park she saw a silly
dude in a tandem behind a liveried
flunky, while just outside the park she
saw an old woman harnessed with a
big dog to a slop cart. Such ecenes, she
declared, were familiar enough in Europe,
but what was America drifting to when
they became prevalent here? Later on
she Baw women evicted from miserable
hovels they called homes— this in Pitts
burg during the strike. And when she
went to Ohio she was met by Governor Mc-
THOMAS V. CATOR.
"Shall men be more honest than God."
[Sketched by a "Call" artist.]
Kinley's militia engaged in suppressing
riots. Even in the Golden State she had
found men out of work and tramps in
plenty. What was it caused all this havoc?
The gold standard, the manipulation of
the currency by the Wall-street bankers
and the British bankers.
It was Thomas Jefferson, Robert Morris
and Alexander Hamilton who founded our
monetary system after the liberty and in
dependence of the States had been estab
lished. It was their aim to give the Na
tion a financial policy that would last for
all time; that should be as firm and as last
ing as the constitution itself. They laid
down the gold and silver standard, and not
till an unconstitutional act was passed by
Congress was the Nation in danger from
the money powers.
Peter Cooper said that all the financial
laws were being made for the interests of
the few and rich against the interests of
the poor and many, and that we were rap
idly drifting tb the conditions that Eng
land suffered from when she demonetized
silver.
Miss Cousins laid the blame for most of
the evils of the present financial system on
the Senate, which she characterized as the
American House of Lords, and declared,
amid deafening applause, that it ought to
be abolished. She believed with certain
French statesmen that two houses had no
place in a republic. Either the upper
house agreed with the lower house, and
then it was superfluous; or it disagreed
with the lower house, and then it was
dangerous.
In 1863 the National banking act— that
ought to be called the National swindling
act— was passed, said Miss Cousins, and
then it was that Congress did the very

thing which Thomas Jefferson had given
warning would lead to the overthrow of
the republic.
Now, what was the remedy for all these
financial and industrial evils? she asked.
Say to England that she must immedi
ately surrender her control of our National
treasury and immediately redeem silver.
Add to this one more desired law and the
problem would be solved, said Miss
Cousins— the initiative and the referendum.
" The great hope is in the common
people," she said. "To them we must
look for the victory in the revolution of
1896." The question at issue was: Should
Great Britain make our financial laws, or
should we make them for ourselves, for the
benefit of our own working people?
There was great applause when Miss
Cousins concluded. Immediately the band
played "0 Say, Can You See?" and duung
the mingling of the music and applause
Delegate Welch of Orange County pre
sented the lady with three huge bouquets,
"The compliments of Nevada and Cali
fornia to the champion of Silver Dick."
Chairman Baker said Mr. Estee needed
no introduction to a California audience,
and this was apparent enough to any one
who heard the applause that greeted the
rising of the Napa statesman.
Mr. Estee started out in a light vein. He
said it would be in bad taste for him to
begin now to talk back to a woman. For
thirty years he had been trying to edu
cate himself not to talk back to a certain
little woman.
And the joke and the compliment over
Mr. Estee said he considered he was ad
dressing not a political body, but an indus
trial convention whose purpose was that
of economic education.
"Credit makes the stability of the Gov
ernment and vice versa. Credit is what is
wanted," said Mr. Estee, "and credit is the
child of confidence, and confidence the
child of prosperity. So prosperity is the one
thing we want and must have at all cost.
We want laws so framed that the masses
of the people will be prosperous, that no
man shall want honest labor and be un
able to rind it^ and no man, woman or
child go hungry or illy clad. How to
bring this about is the question. Now, it
is worse than nonsense to tell a hungry
people that this or that theory of govern
ment is wrong or right or that they have
been robbed by some law thirty years old.
The question is, how to remedy the evil.
This is what the hungry man wants to
hear.
"In three years the product of the farm
and factory have depreciated in value
nearly 30 per cent. Yet they tell us noth
ing is wrong, nothing the matter. And
they tell us, too, that it can't be the de
monetization of silver that's responsible,
because silver has been demonetized these
twenty year?. And so it has, but I'll tell
you why we're just beginning to feel it
now. Heretofore our exports have ex
ceeded our imports and we have kept the
money Rt home. Now a different state of
affairs prevails and we begin to rgilize the
evils of our financial policy.
"Last winter the administration of this
Government went to three bankeis and
secured their protection of the National
treasury. Imagine three bankers protect
ing 70,000,000 people, and imagine the
kind of protection they would get! And
the three bankers made $ 10,000,000 out of
their protection of us. They borrowed
$100,000,000 of us, gent it over'to England,
and then the English bankers sold it back
to us at their own figures, and cleaned up
$10,000,000 on the transaction. That's the
kind of protection against bankruptcy
we got.
"Now the redemption of greenbacks was
all right in its way— that is, the law pro
viding for the redemption was sound.
That law said they should be paid in silver
and gold. Ho»v have they been paid? In
gold. We haven't obeyed that law. The
Government says that silver won't main
tain our credit abroad. Let us have some
credit at home and we will stand well
enough abroad. Let us .make our laws for
our own people first and for the people
'abroad' afterward.
"And yet we do use silver. Everybody
uses silver in the ordinary transactions of
life. Why, when I went to the Pennsyl
vania station in the East to get my sleep
ing-car accommodations home and tend
ered the agent two $20 gold pieces he made
me wait till he had sent a messenger to the
bank to have them weighed. Oh, silver is
good enoueh for the smaller transactions
of life, good enough to pay the farmers for
a bushel of wheat or a dozen of eggs, but
when it comes to the bankers, thejWall
street speculators in money, then we must
have 'sound' money.
"A man said to me that the free coinage
of silver would drive the gold out of the
country. I told him it couldn't drive it
any faster than it is now going. It is
going now faster than we can borrow
it.
"Gold and silver is the money of the
constitution, and so great a constitutional
lawyer as Daniel Webster said that to de
monetize either gold or silver would be un
constitutional."
When the applause that followed Mr.
Estee to his chair had subsided Chairman
Baker adjourned the convention till this
morning at 10 o'clock.
TO-DAY'S PROGRAMME.
Report of the Committee on Resolu
tions, and Mr. Bartine's
Speech.
To-day— tbe last day of the convention —
will be the most important and most in
teresting of the entire three days' session.
In the morning General C. C. Powning
of Nevada will address the convention at
10 o'clock.
He will be followed by an address from
Mrs. Frona Eunice Waite.
R. Guy McClellan of California will be
the last speaker prior to the noon adjourn
ment.
In the afternoon will come first the re
port of the committee on resolutions, of
which Henry J. Willey is chairman. This
committee will report for adoption by the
convention a preamble and resolutions
that shall embody the declaration of prin
ciples of the Bimetallic League.
Succeeding the discussion and adoption
of the platform will come an address by
Frederick Adams, after which tbe reading
of letters and telegrams will be the order.
A. W. Thompson will open the five
minutes' speeches order, which will con
tinue till the afternoon adjournment.
In the evening there will be a stere
opticon exhibition illustrating very ad
mirably and entertainingly the doctrines
of the free silver advocates.
What is considered the heavy gun of
the convention will be fired when Con
gressman H. F. Bartine begins his oration.
Congressman Barline left a sick-bed at his
homein#Utah to be present at this as
semblage. The trip to the coast has dono
him a great deal of good and a great speech
is expected from him.
R. C. Chambers, president of the Bi
metallic Union, who accompanied Mr.
Bartine here, will be the last speaker.
Bartine's Views.
Congressman H. F. Bartine arrived in
the City yesterday from Salt Lake to attend
the Bimetallic Convention. Up to within
four months ago Mr. Bartine was a resi
ient of Nevada, where the battle began,
but of late he has been using his forcible
arguments for free coinage in Utah. Mr.
Bartine says:
"The people there are beginning to see
light ahead, and the best supporters we
have in advancing the silver cause are man
who understand it. We have organized a
bimetallic league there, and when the
time comes we will send silver orators all
over the United States, and particularly
into the sections where the voters do not
understand the importance of the issue.
All the people need is education in the
matter, and that is probably the best way to
spread it. Thousands of voters are just in
that condition where they can be won over
to the silver cause if it is put to them
squarely and by men who have investigated
and comprehend it in all its details and Bide
issues. There are a great many arguments
to answer, and one must be informed to
state it clearly. Utah expects to do her
share in righting the wrong of 1873, and
with that end in view we are marshaling
all the forces at our command."
The Sliver Advocate.
The Silver Advocate, a weekly San Fran
cisco journal devoted to the remonetlzation
of silver and the promotion of the indus
trial interests of the Pacific Coast, is a
creditable paper. The editor, Robert Dun
can Milne, is a scholarly writer, who can
present lucid arguments in behalf of the
cause which his journal espouses. J. C.
Fitzgerald, the manager, is a well-trained
business man of newspaper experience.
McKENNA NOT CONCERNED
The Ransom Decision Not
Applicable to the United
States Circuit Judge.
His Appointment Was Made In the
Fifty-Second Congress to Fill
Judge Sawyer's Place.
The ruling of the United States Attor
ney-General in the matter of the position
of ex-Senator Ransom as Minister to
Mexico has no effect on Circuit Judge Mc-
Kenna's position on the bench of the Cir
cuit Court of Appeals. That court was
created, it is true, in the Fifty-first Con
gress under an act approved March 3, 1891,
and there is a constitutional provision in
section 0, article I, which leads:
No Senator or Representative shall, during
the time for which he was elected, be appointed
to any civil office under the authority of the
United States which shall have been created or
the emoluments whereof shall have been in
creased during such time, etc.
But this bas r.othing whatever to do
with Judge McKenna, and whatever fears
may have Deen entertained by attorneys or
others are wholly without foundation.
When asked yesterday how this law and
the decision *of the Attorney-General
would affect him Judge McKenna said:
"It does not affect me at all. There ap
pears to be an absolute misapprehension
in the matter. I was appointed a Judge
of the Circuit Court to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Judge Sawyer. He
was a United States Circuit Judge, filling
the office long before 1 was in Congress.
There was no Judge ot the United State?
Circuit Court of Appeals. The Circuit
Judges, with an Associate Justice of the
United States Supreme Court from that
bench, or if the Circuit Judges should be
disqualified, the District Judges, shall act.
"so, the office I occupy was not created
in the Fifty-first Congress, though the
Court of Appeals was. But even had such
office been created during the Fifty-first
Congress it could not affect me, because I
was not appointed till the time of the
Fifty-second Congress— after the Fifty-first
was a thing of the past. 80, in every aspect
from which it can be viewed the matter of
this ruling of the Attorney-General in the
Hansom case affecting my position is en
tirely without foundation."
FATAL ACCIDENT.
Lorento Chellini Crushed Between His
Wagon and Team on Church
Street.
Lorenzo Chellini, a teamster living at 64
Henry street, met with a fatal accident last
night about 7 o'clock on Church street, be
tween Nineteenth and Twentieth.
He was driving down the steep grade
there when his foot slipped from the brake
and he fell forward. The wagon crushed
him against the horses, which started the
animals off into a run and Chellini was
thrown down the embankment into the old
Jewish Cemetery.
He was picked up unconscious and taken,
to the City and County Hospital in the pa
trol wagon. It was found that his hips and
head were badly crushed and he was also
suffering from internal injuries. He died
shortly after 9 o'clock, and his body was
removed to the Morgue.
DEATH OP MBS. VAOHELL.
San Luis Oblspo Loses One of Its Promi
nent Society Ladies.
Mrs. Horace A. Vachell, daughter of C.
H. Phillips, died at her home in San Luis
Obispo last Friday after an illuess of sev
eral weeks. For many days her life had
been despaired of by the grief-stricken
family, though the blow when it fell was
none the le«s severe. Mrs. Vachell was
highly accomplished and ranked aa a social
leader in San Luis Obispo. She was 25
years of age and had friends all over the
State, by whom her untimely demise will
be sincerely mourned. The funeral was
held on Sunday.
ALONG THE COAST
Progress of the Valley
Road Graders at
Stockton.
INCREASING THE FORGE.
Workmen Are Now Throwing
Up Earth Between the Two
Channels.
RAILS FOR THE CORRAL HOLLOW.
Arrival of Seventeen More Carloads
of Material for the Line to
the Mines.
STOCKTON, Cal., Aug. 20.—Superin
tendent Wilbur of the Valley road will to
morrow begin throwing up a grade east of
Sacramento street to a spur track to run
from the line of the Southern Pacific Com
pany to the main line of the Valley road.
This will be done for the purpose of mov
ing the engines to the tracks of the latter
railway.
The work of grading between Stockton
and Mormon channels for the Valley road
was commencee yesterday. This section
will require a great deal of filling, but the
contractors expect to complete the work in
considerably less time than the sixty days
specified in their contract.
Grant Bros, began the grading southeast
of the city yesterday. They put fifty men
and forty teams at work. The graders'
camp ia located on the land of D, A.
Learned, about two miles from the city.
About a third of a mile of ground was
broken yesterday. No effort will be made
to push the work until the men and teams
get hardened somewhat. The grading be
tween the camp and Stockton will be com
menced in a day or two.
The pile-driver to be used in building a
bridge over the East-street canal is about
completed. Cotton Brothers have the
contracts and will begin on this one first.
The last of the piling for the trestle bridge
over Mormon Channel was put down yes
terday and the timbering will be begun at
once.
Charles Stein, representing the Crescent
Tieplate Company of Chicago arrived last
night. This tirm has a contract with the
Valley road to siy>ply it with 500.000 service
tieplates and he is here for the purpose of
instructing the workmen how to place
them in position. The work of placing the
tieplatea on the ties began to-day. The
track-laying on Weber avenue is progress
ing rapidly.
The specifications for the bridge to be
built by the Corral Hollow Railway over
Mormon Channel have been forwarded to
the Secretary of War at Washington and
as soon as they are returned approved,
which will be some fifteen days from now,
the work on the bridjrewill be commenced.
Seventeen more carloads of rails for this
road arrived here yesterday. Over 1000
tons of rails have arrived for the road up to
the present time.
A. CA.MP OF iySTJtirCTIOX.
Two Companies of the Sixth to Occupy
(iooflicnter drove.
STOCKTON, Cal., Aug. 20.— 1t has been
decided by companies A and B of the
Sixth regiment to establish the camp of
instruction which the guardsmen have
been talking about for some time. Good
water Grove has been selected as the place
for the camp, and it has been decided to
name the camp in honor of Colonel Nunan
of the Sixth Regiment.
The companies will march from their
armory to the car house on California
street on Saturday evening at 7 o'clock,
from which place they will be taken to the
grove in cars. The camp will be immedi
ately formed and a guard placed on duty.
The place selected will be lighted with
electric lights, so that drills may taKe
place in the evening. On Sunday after
noon the battalion will be reviewed by
Colonel Nunan, and on the following Sun-
day Adjutant-General Barratt and Briga
died-General Muller and staff are expected
to visit the camp. An invitation wiil be
extended to Governor Budd and staff, but
it ia not thought the Chief Executive will
be w*ll enough to accept. After the drills
each night the Sixth Regiment band will
furnish music for dancing.
Captain Johnson of Company A said this
morning that great preparations were in
progress to make this the best of all en
campments for years. The bluecoats will
do considerable entertaining, and intend
to fix the camp up accordingly. There will
be 150 incandescent lights among the tents,
and from tent to tent will be swung strings
of Japanese lanterns. About 500 of these
will be used in decorating.
Cntihed hy a Tallinn Rail.
STOCKTON, Cal., Aug. 20.— D. L. Lind
ley, who has been in the employ of the
Valley road in handling rails, had his fin
gers so badly crushed this morning that it
may be necessary to amputate them.
While he was unloading some rails one of
them fell on his left hand, mashing three
of his fingers to a pulp.

The Borreo Dwelling at Bayvlew Tine-
yard Destroyed.
NAPA, Cal., Aug. 20.— The dwelling of
Mr. Borreo, at Bayview Vineyard, his
mountain ranch, a few miles from town,
occupied by Mr. Arata and family, was
totally destroyed by fire last night. Mrs.
Arata was in front of the house when her
child came running to her, giving an alarm
of fire. She hastened to the kitchen to
find it fnll of smoke, and at once gave the
alarm, but the fire had gained such head
way by this time that nothing could be
done.
Besides the house and adjoining build
ings Mr. Borreo lost twenty cords of wood,
which was near the house/and a fine arbor,
which he prized very highly. There was
only $750 insurance oh the house, and Mr.
Arata had |250 insurance on his furniture.
