WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...OCT. 11, 1884 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. No Free Trade Democrat should vote for Blaine. No Protection Democrat should vote for Cleveland. "The only woman in Blaine's case is the Painted Harlot of Protection."—Louisville Courier Journal. Blaine must plead guilty to a long continued intimacy with her. The vote in Congress on the Morrison tariff bill—that is, the bill reducing the tax on tobacco, wine, wool, etc., was as follows: For the bill, 152 Democrats and 3 Republicans; against the bill, 113 Republicans and 41 Democrats. Seventeen car-loads of tobacco valued at $180,000 are on the road from the East to San Francisco. This quantity will afford nearly half a pound to every man, woman and child in the State. Those addicted to the use of the weed need fear no "blues" caused by a scarcity of the article for some time to come. Dr. Porter, a New York Blaine elector, has resigned because he says he cannot conscientiously support the Republican ticket. Beyond saying this he is as mum as an oyster. It would be interesting to know what pressure has been brought upon him to cause him to act so. If he had honest and convincing reasons, he would be apt to spread them before the public. The latest and most effective dodge of Chatham to evade the law prohibiting the entrance of Chinese in this country is to land in Cuba, become Spanish citizens upon payment of $25 for naturalization papers, procure passports as Spanish subjects, which afford them legal entrance into the United States. Twenty Spaniards with pig tails and almond eyes were passed by the Custom House authorities at New York last week. The President of the Canadian Pacific Railroad Company is on route to England. THE PEOPLE'S PARTY The true inwardness of the mighty political battle now raging in the old and thickly-populated States of our country is difficult to analyze at this distance from the scene. The people of this state are obliged to form opinions from the newspapers they read, and opinions so formed are based upon an extremely unreliable foundation. There is very little political honesty of expression in the party papers, and though they may not lie deliberately in recording the progress of the campaign, their reports are so colored as to make it impossible for one far removed from the vortex of the contest to ascertain with any degree of exactness the present drift of popular sentiment. But there are not wawling indications that the People's party—or the Butler party—has a larger and more earnest following than the people of this State give it credit for. Its large following is due not only to the elements of strength presented by the candidate and his platform, but also to the elements of weakness in the Democratic candidate and platform. Butler's platform is undeniably a true exposition of Democratic principles and the desires and wishes of the Democratic masses than the platform adopted by the regular convention at Chicago, and Butler himself is undeniably a more magnetic candidate than Cleveland. Such being the case it is a relief for Democrats, who believe more in principle than in policy, and who cannot bring themselves to vote for the free trade platform and tainted candidate, to be able to cast their vote for a true Democrat and a true Democratic platform. The People's party is a safety valve for such voters; without it they would be in danger of political combustion. To vote the Republican ticket would be about as distasteful to them as to vote the Free Trade ticket. Hence they rally around the Butler standard with a fierce and earnest joy. The People's party will grow; it will gather strength enough in the next four years to control the National Democratic Convention in 1838. There will be no danger of a free-trade platform and an obscure candidate in that year. But what a pity it is that some of the political wisdom, honesty and sagacity characteristic of the men who manage the national movement cannot be infused into the local conventions of the party? There is no triling in the national committee, nothing farcical in their proceedings. They are in dead earnest, and have no inclination to do anything to bring the movement into disrepute. Had the same spirit controlled the convention. Ten Men Drowned. Chicago, Oct. 8.—A storm on Lake Michigan last night blew away a small shanty which the laborers employed in the inlet tented, at Hyde Park, were lodged. It was sixteen men in all employed in the inlet, and by the carrying away of the shanty they were left clinging to two stringers on the beam in a most perilous position. One man came ashore on a plank near South Chicago. The life-saving crew shortly after succeeding in throwing a line to the trail from which the shanty was blown, and rescue of what remained of the party is not certain unless they should in the meantime be overcome by exhaustion and cold. Eight figures can be distinguished through a fine glass, clinging to the pier, which together with one who floated ashore, leaves some unaccounted for, and it is feared they have been lost. The life-saving crew have succeeded in rescuing four persons, and it is now known that ten of those on the frail pier were drowned. The storm was one of great fury and blew up very suddenly, and the war of destroying the temporary structure was quick and complete. The men had one small boat, which is supposed to have gone adrift when the storm first struck the pier. A number of the unfortunate men were carried into the lake with the wreckage of this building, and were compelled to battle their lives, with none other to aid beyond stray pieces of floating timber in the darkness of the night.* A Perilous Experience Portland, Oct. 7.—An Astoria speeches gives a graphic account of the rescue from the breakers this morning of Olata Christian pherson, a bookkeeper for the Bay Village. He started last night at Shomurkawa kaws to row to the next cannery, then miles below. While lighting his pipe boars slipped from the row-locks and went lost in the darkness. He drifted twenty miles down river past Astoria, but cries were not heard. At daylight he drifted to the ocean and the current carried him among the breakers at Clatsop spart forty miles from the starting point. The boat was overturned and five times he washed off, but he had strength enough swim twenty to fifty feet and regain. About 10 a.m. Captain Gregory of the United States lighthouse tender Shubrick. The latest and most effective dodge of Chamene to evade the law prohibiting the entrance of Chinese in this country is to land in Cuba, become Spanish citizens upon payment of $25 for naturalization papers, procure passports as Spanish subjects, which afford them legal entrance into the United States. Twenty Spanishards with pig tails and almond eyes were passed by the Custom House authorities at New York last week. The President of the Canadian Pacific Railroad Company is on route to England for the purpose of establishing a line of steamers to run in connection with the road from British Columbia to China and Japan. When the short gap in the Atlantic and Pacific road is built from Daggett to San Bernardino San Diego may boast a line of oriental steamers, and San Francisco, in pedro parlance, be kept in the middle. Ex-Secretary of State, D. M. Burus, against whom charges of embezzlement were made, has returned from Honolulu, whither he fled last June, and surrendered himself to the authorities. He denies any knowledge of his alleged defalcations, and ascribes the shortage in his accounts, as shown by expert examination of the books, to the dishonesty or his assistant, Thomas H. Reynolds, who admits having taken the money. Burus promises a statement which he claims will completely vindicate him from any complicity with Reynolds. All the paragraphs heretofore printed regarding the eucalyptus have been in its praise. Hence it is almost refreshing to read that "in the province of San Pedro, Brazil, the destruction of all eucalyptus trees has been ordered. It appears that the tree favors the generation of a terribly dangerous dragon fly, which attacks all living creatures, and whose sting is fatal within a few minutes." There is probably less truth in this statement than in the average stories we read of concerning candidates for office. Beecher rebuking Cleveland for immorality is like the devil rebuking sin. Hear him: Cleveland has already suffered loss, mortification and damage for the commission of a grievous sin, and to-day it stands in his path with a rod of chastisement; and if he fails to gain the highest place in this Government, it will be by reason of that very transgression. That he will be elected I both hope and believe, but the chief danger to his ambition-to-day springs from that sin of twelve years ago. Is there no warning in that? No voice to young men! And is there no warning in Beecher's loss of influence and in the contempt with which his once honored name is now held? Is not Beecher's immorality a thousand times worse than Gov. Cleveland's alleged peccadilloes? The sins of a man who does not claim to be anything but a sinner do not call for the same criticism as the sins of the pretended saint. When hypocrisy is added to immorality, the exhibition is very disgusting. The Prohibition National Convention at SEWARD'S SLANDER To Reverend Mr. Seward, one of the divines who addressed the assembled clergymen at Los Angeles last week, is attributed the remark that "it is the correct thing and 'a common practice among the Scotch clergy' to get drunk." It is the correct thing and a common practice among temperance lecturers to lie, and Mr. Seward appears to be no exception to the rule. In trying to imagine some excuse for Mr. Seward's outrageous misstatement, we are reminded of what late Dr. Lucky said during a temperature lecture which he delivered in Anaheim once upon a time. He said that every man who drinks is a drunkard; that a man could not class as a sober man unless he was a total abstainer, which propositions he argued with all the logic with which he was undeniably gifted. If Mr. Seward believes as Dr. Lucky believed, then his statement regarding the Scotch clergy may be true from his standpoint—but it is a lie, nevertheless. The Scotch clergy as a rule, drink liquor. When one of them calls upon a parishioner it is the correct thing to offer him a stiff whisky told and a common practice for him to accept it. But with the discretion and "cannyness" characteristic of the race they know when they have enough. They do not get drunk, in the common acceptance of the term. They do not even get under the influence of liquor, for if they did their influence and occupation would be gone. The clergy of Scotland are revered; the flock they minister to hold in high respect, and if they did aught unseemly, they would be deposed and disgraced before the world. But one may scan the newspapers of that country for years and not find any reference to any scandalous conduct on the part of any clergyman. They are a noble, pure and scholarly body of men, albeit the majority of them are good judges of whisky. Call this latter accomplishment a crime if you will, but it is a very little one or strength enough in the next four years to control the National Democratic Convention in 1838. There will be no danger of a free trade platform and an obscure candidate in that year. But what a pity it is that some of the political wisdom, honesty and sagacity characteristic of the man who manage the national movement cannot be infused into the local conventions of the party? There is no triling in the national committee, nothing farcical in their proceedings. They are in dead earnest, and have no inclination to do aught to bring the movement into disrepute. Had the same spirit controlled the convention held in Los Angeles last week, its labors would have commanded respect instead of contempt. They would not have adopted a platform and then nominated men who have not the slightest sympathy with the movement or with the enunciations of the platform; they would not have adopted a prohibition plank and then nominated some men who get drunk—from Seward's standpoint—every day in the week. The quickest way to squelch an individual or party is to cover it with ridicule. Russian Proscription of Books London, Oct. 5. — Stepmiak has a letter from The Times on the Russian proscription of books, containing many strange and new details. Fully 125 standard works, representing best thoughts of the last quarter of a century, have been suppressed by Count Tolstoi, including works by Mill, Lyell Huxley and Spencer. Even the royal quality of the Count de Paris has not saved from condemnation his book on English trade unions. The property destroyed by these means and by the suppression of various newspapers is estimated at hundreds of millions of dollars. One review, called Annals of the Country, had 10,000 subscribers, and its income of $100,000 was all wiped out in a day. The establishment of newspapers is extremely torbidden. The confiscation was extended even to children's primers, which had quotations from certain Russian authors. Petroleum Wells New York, Oct. 6. — A Phillips City Penn., special says: The eyes of the petroleum world are still anxiously fixed on the Johnson well in Pennsylvania township, Butler county. There are now twenty-seven rigs up within a radius of half a mile of Semple and Boyles. The Phillips well, which has flowed 15,000 barrels in five weeks and does not slack up sufficiently to allow the bit to be changed for deeper drilling, is completely girded by venturers. Old-time producers gaze in wonderment at the greatest gusher ever seen in America. Philips got oil from almost perfect pebble sand at a depth of 1,577 feet. A company from Philadelphia are boring for oil at Bladen Springs, Ala., with prospects of success. A depth of nearly 1,000 feet has been reached. Salt water has been found twice. The Prohibition National Convention at The Prohibition National Convention at Chicago issued a call Tuesday night asking the people to pray for the success of the cause. It appointed October 29th as a day of fasting and humiliation and confession of crime upon the Government permitting the licensing of the traffic in liquor. These are not the days of miracles, and therefore the Prohibition ticket has no chance of success. In appealing to the Creator to help them, and throwing the onus of the political struggle upon Him, the Prohibition Convention are taking the very best method of stiffening up infidelity. The logic of their action is this: They pray for success; they are overwhelmingly beaten byigo. He to whom they appealed is powerless, or He deems their cause unworthy of assistance. One of the industries of thrifty France is the making of wine from raisins, which is carried on especially (according to the Rerue Scientifique) at Marseilles, Cette, Bordeaux, and Bercy. About 70,000 tons of raisins are imported into France from the neighboring high countries and Syria, costing nearly $7,500,000. By softening in water, and the addition of sugar and alcohol, a harmless wine is produced, of which no less than 3,000,000 headliters are made. Another dodge is to treat the settlings, the recidium of the native harvests of Spain, Portugal, Sicily, etc., with sugar, alcohol and water and make from the compound what is called "second-vat" wines. Thus France, in spite of the phylloxera, retains her position as the greatest wine-exporting country in the world. The Democrats by free trade would place California wines in competition with this foreign stuff. Republicans desire to maintain a tariff on imported compounds called wine that our own productions may be protected. That is the whole of it in a nutshell. William M. Scott died in Toronto, Canada, a few days since. His name was heralded from one end of the continent to the other about two years ago as the one who won a pot of $450,000 on a single hand in poker at Newburgh, N.Y. Scott, with the help of one Hedges, put up a hand for a wealthy young man named Weed. Scott dealing Weed four acres and to himself a straight flush. The betting was kept up until each of the three players had $150,000 in the pot, which was won by Scott who compromised with Weed for about $130,000. Soon afterward Scott appeared in this section. He bought a large tract of land near Orange, planted an extensive vineyard and made other improvements. He boarded with a prominent Baptist clergyman in Santa Ana and wore an air of piety on Sundays which was noticeable to churchgoers, but among the boys was better known as an expert at billiards and pedro. Suit being commenced against him by Weed to recover the money lost at poker, Scott suddenly left these parts. He was next heard from in Colorado lying at death's door from consumption. Then his recovery and marriage were reported. Now the telegraph announces that he has played his last game for big stakes and lost. In Memoriam William M.

Tropical Fruit Later advises concerning the experimental shipment of fruit from Mexico, reference to which is made on the first page, is to the effect that the carload of assorted fruit reached San Francisco on Monday, being six days in transit. "The oranges are an acceptable addition to seasonable varieties," as the market is quite bare of this description. The bananas are mostly in fine condition, and will come into direct competition with Hawaiian importations. Many of the bunches present a handsome appearance, as the skins have a rich, red color. The limes are much smaller than the Acapulco article, and are somewhat green, though full of juice. Consignments of limes from the same direction have also been received by Dalton Bros. It will probably require several more shipments of this character before it can be definitely established as to whether or not a regular trade can be inaugurated with certain profit." A Priest Cremated The first instance of the cremation of a priest in Italy occurred the other day in Milan. The Rev. Don Giovanni Sartorio had left instructions by his will that his body should be burned, and had disposed that in case of non-compliance with his wishes the heirs should forfeit the inheritance. As soon as this became known the eleven priests who had been retained to perform the funeral service returned their fees and the priest's remains were committed to the flames unaccompanied by any Christian rite. "Delicacy, aroma, flavor—EOLA TEA." Ten Men Drowned. Oct. 8. A storm on Lake Michigan blew away a small shanty in laborers employed in the inlet lake Hyde Park, were lodged.

Two years ago while duck hunting, he narrowly escaped death by drowning. At that time a companion in the same boat with her was drowned. Martenstein, one of the proprietors of the National Flour Mills in San Francisco, killed at his residence a black sow of English breed which measured eight and one-half feet. It was not quite one year old. With the massive head off, and fifty pounds of the laird removed, the body weighed 310 pounds. Mr. Martenstein is a pig fancier and raises his own pork. The California Southern Railroad Company has repaired its track as far as Corral de Luz, and it is expected that trains will reach Fall Brook in about three weeks. When this will have been accomplished the worst part of the damage will be repaired. Superintendent Victor is pushing matters as fast as circumstances will permit and it is only a question of a few weeks before rail communication with Colton will be established.

The Assembly of South Australia has passed a law abolishing judicial oaths. A case has been found in Chicago where a woman was paying a pawnbroker $58 per year for the use of $25. A registered letter containing $10,800 in bonds was stolen from the mail between New York and East Hampton, Conn. New York customs officials found 800 artificial eyes concealed in a bustle belonging to a lady voyager. She lost her eyes. England this year finds herself under the necessity of purchasing 183,000,000 bushels of wheat from abroad. Fourteen children while playing in a boat Monday, on the river Drave, at Esseg, Austria, capsized and all were drowned. The expectation is that the German students, in their convention next month, will pronounce against dueling. The Pall Mall Gazette insists that England's boasted supremacy of the seas is hat a fiction, and that it would cost $500,000,000 to put the navy in presentable shape. In France eggs are sorted and sized by raising this fund by general subscription. This plan may do, but it would appear that those interested in fruit-growing should be able to make up the amount at once. When they have done so they will be in a position to ask the State to supplement the sum with as much more for a proper corps of assistants, for expenses for experiments, for an entomological laboratory and cabinet, and to meet the cost of publishing reports, and for a thorough and exhaustive visitation of every section of the State where the pests abound. The study of entomology is pursued in the College of Agriculture, but the need is to make it a specialty, and to place it as a department in charge of one who is fully qualified by long study, experience and high attainments to make it of practical value to the vine and fruit interests of the State. The growers of vegetables, of shrubs and of flowers, the raisers of stock, and other classes of our people are also interested in this subject, and demand extended research and work in the matter of insect pest extermination and speedy arrival at the root of the cause of these assaults upon great interests. A need so universally admitted and so broadly demanded should not long continue. A Mormon Conference Salt Lake, Oct. 7.—The Mormon Conference finally adjourned to-day. At the closing session President John Taylor had Geo. Q. Cannon read a large batch of criminal statistics from Eastern cities and States. Then Taylor exclaimed, "And these are the people who are so horrified at the immoral situation in Utah and from them come our would-be reformers!" He continued in that strain for some time and warned the saints against the sins of the Gentiles, especially infanticide. He then touched on business affairs, recommending the saints to spread out and occupy new lands and especially called attention to the willingness of Presidents Ricka and Hendricks of the Idaho stakes to receive and care for more people. He recommended home industry and demanded payments into the perpetual immigration fund. Four years ago $800,000 of debts due that fund had been canceled and as much more remained due, of which only $25,000 had been paid in four years. He said if the law of God were applied to these delinquents they would be cut off from the Church. The usual number of missionaries were appointed to many countries. Mere Republican Corruption Can nothing stop the avalanche of red- anded crimes that seems to be sweeping over this one-borne republic! The other day, while the Dirigo Club was returning from Sacramento on the train, one of the polo-halters bought a couple of pairs of garter from a train boy, and handing one circled to a countryman, who was passing through the car, requested that it be delivered to a young lady in a front seat. The rustic, supposing the young lady had dropped the article, complied. The girl started, blushed furiously, and snuck her supposed property into her pocket. Pretty soon another stranger passed, and the wicked Dirigo repeated the operation. The young lady blushed harder than ever, and hid the second garter in the same manner. After a while, still another innocent passenger passed, and was provided with a third installment. As he mostently presented the elastic the girl transfixed him with a stony glare, and cried: "What do you take me for—a centipede!" Foreign Missiones Columbus, Ohio, Oct. 8.—The seventy-fifth annual meeting of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions convened here yesterday. The report shows the receipts by contributions from all sources $788,000, and more in direct donations than ever before. Reports were also made of progress, various foreign missions showing gratifying results. The war in China, owing to the kindly disposition of the French toward Christian labors, had not thus far interlaced with workers in that country. New York, Oct. 8.—A Port Jervis special says: Dominick Meres, who owns a farm in Pennsylvania, occupied by a man named O. Bert, recently offered to deed the farm to him for his daughter Lena in marriage. A grand party was invited, but the girl refused and much indignation existed, when the scheme was given out and all the guests departed. In Lincoln, Oregon, a 12-year-old son of J. Toner, proprietor of a warehouse, was drawn into a wheat hopper and smothered to death. A Crying Evil WHAT WE DRINK UNDER THE NAME OF TEA.

THE LATEST GREAT INVENTION. THE 50 CANDLE POWER CASPERSON ELECTRIC LAMP. (PATENTED APRIL FIVE, 1896) Some of its many advantages: 1. It has 50 candle power considered, it is the cheapest light ever invented. 2. By the laws of naturg, it non-explodes. 3. A chimney can be bricked by it. It will melt first. 4. Even a child can wick it in one minute. 5. No smoke, no odor, no smoked chimneys. 6. Being made of brass or nickel, the lamp will last a lifetime. 7. Should it accidentally fall, there is no danger, as it could not break. Many lives have been lost in similar cases with glass lamps. 8. The battery can be attached to any lamp or oil fixtures, such as a gas burner, oil bracket or chandelier, and used in lighting sources, offices, railroad cars, churches, perfora, halls, hotels, and streets of towns and cities. 9. The hand lamp with tripod and porchain shade is an ornament to any parlor, library or office. 10. It costs less and gives more than doubles the light of the Student's Lamp. Beware of imitations. No genuine Electric Lamps but Casperson's. CALL AND GET THEM.
