The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL. Editor and Proprietor. THURSDAY... AUGUST 30, 1900. McKINLEY THE MAN. In passing by or around a mountain, as one sometimes does in traveling, the huge mass presents differing aspects to the eye from the different points of view. That is because it is large, lofty and many sided. It is a tribute to the greatness of William McKinley that men differ in estimating his abilities and influence. What volumes have been written on the characters of Shakespeare, Goethe, Napoleon, Washington, Lincoln, Grant! and the future historian of the great republic will not dismiss the administration of William McKinley with a single chapter. It will require volumes for it will mark an epoch. Four years ago the world knew William McKinley as an American statesman who had risen from humble station with great steadiness and persistence, but without haste and not without that careful training which comes of long service in congress and as governor of a great state. He had imprinted his name upon a highly important piece of protective legislation, but the world did not know, as it could not know until the hour of trial came, that in time of national peril he was not alone wise to know and bold to perform but that he was a rock to resist the rushings and swashings of popular waves of frenzied feeling. William McKinley is no human mushroom to spring up in a night. He is no comet to challenge the attention of star gazers. He is no burst of oratory fireworks to dazzle a nation with a burnished bit of borrowed eloquence. He is the product of a normal and healthful growth. Possessing a sure foundation of ample native capacity he has built for himself and his country what the world will yet recognize as a colossal structure of statesmanship and manly character. He will continue to grow as he has continued to grow and the time is not far distant when he will DISCREDITABLE DISCREDITING. There are people who, when the use of a word is in controversy and they find the dictionary quoted against them, straightway repudiate the authority of the dictionary. The Bryanite propaganda employs the same discreditable tactics when their specious pleadings are brought to an accounting in the face of statistical information collected and published by the different departments of the United States government. They repudiate the authority and denounce such statistics as are not in harmony with their preconceived views. So it was with the Populist propaganda ten years ago. One of theirries was that there were nine million mortgaged farms in the United States, and when the census for 1890 showed that there were only four-and-a-half million farms in the United States, mortgaged and unmortgaged, the most zealous ones repudiated the census and went on with the old battle cry. As an answer to the tremendous and unparalleled favorable balance of trade between our nation and the rest of the world, as disclosed by custom house records, the Bryanite press simply declares that it isn't so, that the records of customs are trumped up for partisan purposes. Intelligent discussion is impossible with people who prefer their own impressions to the best obtainable information. Whether such preference arises from an uncontrolable emotionalism or downright dishonesty is of small moment but such conduct is thoroughly discreditable and should discredit all that is said by such people for they will inevitably deceive and betray either maliciously or fatuously. Last year Argentina exported 63,000,000 bushels of wheat to Europe. This year it is estimated that she will export fully 75,000,000 bushels. This is one of the reasons why wheat rules lower in the California market than it ought to in order to be a profitable crop, but the chief reason is that there are no American ships to carry American wheat to European markets. At the time this is written there is not a single discrepancy in the harbor of San SPURGEON FOR ASSEMBLY. Nominated by the Democratic County Convention at Fullerton yesterday. W. H. Spurgeon of Santa Ana was nominated for the Assembly by the Democratic county convention at Fullerton yesterday. Daniel Baker, who was regarded as being a strong aspirant for the nomination, was not named. Spurgeon was nominated by acclamation. U. E. Squires of Olive presided over Mr. Robbins of Santa Ana was chosen as secretary. The following committees were appointed: Credentials—T. C. Welch, J. Schneider, J. C. Cordell, W. H. Bentley, F. J. Speidel. Order of Business and Permanency Organization—J. W. Hawkins, R. H. Norton, W. B. Artz, O. F. Clarke, W. T. Newland. Resolutions—J. S. Gardiner, V. Mongomery, Clyde Bishop, Dr. Head, Wm McFadden. After the appointment of the committees an adjournment was taken until o'clock. The meeting reconvened at that hour. Mrs. A. C. Drake and Miss Jessica Taylor sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" and "America," with piano accompaniment. A vote of thanks was given the ladies for their singing. The resolutions were read and a process of five minutes was taken to allow the committees to arrange their order of business. The committees expressed their thanks for the decoration of the hall at the Fullerton people. The following delegates to the State convention were declared elected, as result of Saturday's primaries: D. M. Baker, F. O. Daniel, D.C.P., Lley, J. A. Booty, W. H. Spurgeon James Sleeper, H. W. Head, R. Norton. The defeated aspirants for delegation to the State convention were W. McFadden, Edgar Johnson, W. Newland, Charles Damron, Dave Revers, U. E. Squires, P. W. Swartz, M. Hargrave. William McKinley is no human mushroom to spring up in a night. He is no comet to challenge the attention of star gazers. He is no burst of oratorical fireworks to dazzle a nation with a burnished bit of borrowed eloquence. He is the product of a normal and healthful growth. Possessing a sure foundation of ample native capacity he has built for himself and his country what the world will yet recognize as a colossal structure of statesmanship and manly character. He will continue to grow as he has continued to grow and the time is not far distant when he will stand out as one among the few towering personalities marking decisive epochs in the history of the republic. It is to his credit that men differ in their estimation of him and that they change the estimates they have formed as nearer views afford a better perspective. Such as thought him ambitious for power were charmed to note that he made no effort to secure a renomination for president at the hands of the national convention of his party, but suffered the presidential office to come to him unsolicited or go to another as the American people might see fit to determine. Such as thought him weak or wanting in decision found when he stood unmoved, though the billows of a storm tossed public opinion broke over him, that they had been gazing upon a mirage of their own making and not upon the man. Only those who have made war upon the authority of the constitution and laws and sovereign power of the American nation, or have sympathized with those who have made such war, regard him as severe in the execution of the authority vested in him, and he has been as humane with them as he could be and yet execute the laws and vindicate the authority of the republic. Our president is not spectacular. He does not seek to force his personal will upon an unwilling constituency. He makes no effort to keep himself in the public eye and he has not devoted the last four years to posing in popular attitudes to keep the people mindful of him. His utterances are few outside the regular and necessary issuance of messages and documents and these are not rehashes of what he has said repeatedly before. He does not strive to fill the dual function of executive and legislator, but leaves to congress the constitutional functions of congress. Nor does he presume to invade the proper province of the supreme court of the United States, but leaves to the judiciary in unimpaired supremacy the constitutional function of the judicial office. The unintelligent class him as a trimer because he seeks to know the will of the people and, having ascertained it unmistakably, puts forth his power to make that will effective, not reflecting that only by that means can we have government by, of and for the people, and that the executive who does not follow that course, but pursues a policy marked out by his own headstrong inclination, is an imperialist and a usurper and merits impeachment for exceeding his authority. The American people are coming to know and appreciate the sterling qualities of their chief executive and to trust him. They have found his would-be swishings of popular waves of frenzied feeling. William McKinley is no human mushroom to spring up in a night. He is no comet to challenge the attention of star gazers.

The American people are coming to know and appreciate the sterling qualities of their chief executive and to trust him. They have found him wiser than many of his would-be advisors in knowing what to do when the time came for doing it. They have found him bold in performance when the time came for performance and not slow to invoke the strong arms of the navy and army in executing the will of the people. He has grown also into the regard of the nations of the earth. His victories in diplomacy have been not less illustrious than the achievements of the navy and the army, and European diplomats have been brought face to face with a diplomacy that has another purpose than that of concealing its meaning beneath a mountain of courtesy and platiude. Through all the clashings of war, the rivalries of ambitious men, the bickering of politics and the aspersions of a vindictive partisanship, William McKinley is the same unperturbed American statesman that he was in congress and as governor of Ohio. His features are coming in the American mind to be the personification of wisdom and of power in repose and they will continue him in office by a tremendous electoral and popular majority. There is just one industry that stands to be benefitted by the election of Bryan and that is the mining of silver, and even that benefit won't last but a little while for the influx of silver from the four corners of the earth would soon bring the purchasing power of the silver dollar down to the commercial value of the silver dollar, which would speedily be less than it now is. There is never a lack of confidence in the financial and industrial world through fear that the Republican ticket will be elected and men will be thrown out of employment, and mills and shops closed down. The dread of industry is always because of the other side of the house, for only heaven can tell what these fellows would do if they had a chance. It is not at all impossible that the majority of the court may be changed during the term of a single president. "I must have something better than these declarations against imperialism from the candidate who secured the passage of the treaty and baffled all efforts I was able to make against it before I am ready to purchase his election at the cost of having a government that will sympathize with the disfranchisement of 10,000,000 Americans at home, that will stand for dishonoring the currency, for the violation of national faith, for the overthrow of the banking system and establishment of a income tax, for assailing the integrity of the supreme court, for sympathizing everywhere with populism and socialism." Senator Hoar is right. Imperialism is a mask. It is a thing we have had in this country continuously for 117 years and it has made the country great and free and has cursed it with neither militarism nor imperialism. Imperialism is a mask that the Bryanites hope will enable them to slip into power before the people have discovered that it is a mask and worn to conceal the features of reaction and revolution hidden behind that mask. The United States restricts the coastwise carrying trade to American vessels with the result that there was a greater tonnage of American vessels built during the year ending June 30 than for the whole merchant marine of either France or Italy, but of all this only one vessel was built to enter the foreign trade and not one to carry California wheat to market. Our coastwise carrying trade is fostered. Our foreign carrying trade is suffered to compete without substantial aid against a competition that is aided by boundies paid in construction and in operation. The Republican party is trying to right this wrong. The Bryan party is trying to wrong this right of the American shipbuilder and owner who would engage in foreign trade, to have as adequate a protection as competing nations give their builders and owners. That is the difference. With one breath Mr. McKinley is accused of being an imperialistic autocrat with his eye on a throne to be substituted for the presidential chair. With the next he is accused of a craven submissiveness to British influence. The inconsistency of the two contentions does not disturb the Bryanistic vociferators. They are as imperturbable as they are incorrigible. There are, of course, those every land who know better, but judgment was and is an appeal to fair judgment; and if in the eye public, who estimate a country display at this exposition, we fail Belgium and Denmark, nothing of Austria and Germany appearance in this field is a failure. It is as easy to fix the blame as useless to do so, for by the time next exposition the lesson at moral will be forgotten. A new dent and a new Congress will be to repeat the extravagance and blunder. The fault is radical shifting, changing governments sonnel. It is in a system which public officers as soon as they know their business; a system imposes little sense of responsibility upon those who know their tenets transient, and who are answerable for the brief day of their incarnation. Our resources are inexhaustible cause they are the sources and nature, but another country as foolishly and expending as we do would be ruined. There are those who will tell business it is to tell a different about the appearance of the States at this fair. As a consequence there are some who will never truth about it. There are less some who are incapable of or believing the truth, no matter plain it may be. I am writing those who want to know the true cause it is wholesome even wag agreeable. The silliest patriotic silliest family pride, is thus glosses and conceals, and resists criticism—the diagnosis—indisputable to a cure. We have made ourselves rich by sending a great host of comers to this fair, and they in turn made us and themselves more loyal upon social recognition them, too many, with their sisters their cousins and their aunts, it, and the way they wield and display it makes the groin, the judicious grieve.

REINHAUS BR A hint to Letter Writers The practice of writing private letters from the first to the third page of a letter sheet and then going back to the second page is a matter of taste, but it will not do that course of procedure in writing legal documents. The New York courts have disallowed the provisions of a will written in this way. The testator wrote the will on three sides of a folded paper, commencing on the first page and continuing on the third page, at the top of which was written “second page,” and completing and signing the instrument on a page marked “third page,” which in fact was the second page of the sheet.

Multi-millionaire may lose a hunhousand here and there without the loss, for the majority of his ares are profitable and his balance shows net gains. It is thus with United States, the mightiest of the millionaires at the Paris exposition. The Paris exposition is undoubta losing-side speculation for our country. But we are rich and will likely feel it. It would have been far for us to have stayed at home to have appeared at this feast about our best clothes. It will not do any we have better clothes at home. An excuse is not good form. Recover, we will not be believed except by our home folks, and we must mit to the popular judgment—that a score of pigmy nationalities, in the splendid apparel than ourselves, by these signs our commercial suprises. There are, of course, those in very land who know better, but this ment was and is an appeal to popupulation; and if in the eye of the white, who estimate a country by its day at this exposition, we fall beligious of Austria and Germany, our appearance in this field is a failure.

From Our Regular Correspondent.] STEEL WOOL. A Curious Material Used as a Substitute For Sandpaper. Steel wool is a machine produced material that is used as a substitute for sandpaper. It is composed of sharp edged threads of steel, which curl up together like wool, or somewhat as the wood fibers of the familiar material known as excelsior curl up together, though the steel wool is very much finer, the finest of it being not much goarser than the coarsest of natural wools. The steel wool is put up in packages containing one pound each. These are something like rolls of cotton batting, but smaller, a pound of steel wool, loosely packed, making rolled in paper and open at the ends, a package perhaps 15 inches long and two or three inches in diameter. Made in various degrees of coarseness, steel wool is put to a variety of uses, the finer wools for polishing wood and metal, and the coarser for rubbing down paint and varnish. It is often used on special parts of work while, for example, on the flat surfaces of a door a man would use sandpaper with a block back of it; for the moldings he would use steel wool which fits into the crevices and conforms itself to irregular shapes. Such work can be done with steel wool far more readily and quickly than with sandpaper, and it is used with like advantage on irregular and small surfaces and on carved work. Besides the steel wool there is a coarser material of the same kind called steel shavings, which is put to various uses, as in taking off old paint or varnish and in polishing wood before painting, and it is used on bowling allets and on floors for smoothing and cleaning them. Sandpaper clogs in use, steel wool breaks down. The wool is commonly the second page is a matter of taste, but it will not do to follow that course in writing legal documents. The New York courts have disallowed the provisions of a will written in this way. The testator wrote the will on three sides of a folded paper, commencing on the first page and continuing on the third page, at the top of which was written "second page," and completing and signing the instrument on a page marked "third page," which in fact was the second page of the sheet. The court held that the will was not signed at the physical end, as required by the statute. The law does not template going backward in order to get forward, and the will was refused probate. The New York court of appeals sustained the decision throwing out this form of will—Boston Herald. Hot Weather Test of Love She—Are you sure you love me, George? He—Love you?

"Er—Well he's one of those that hasn't the nerve to be a sham man but goes around lugging on his arm." Two Widows and A Salted A good story is told about a prospectors had salted a mineral district in order to repled rich widows which relied on aforesaid widows become wealthier. The prospectors had spent cent in digging a hole in the extent of 60 feet without anything but yellow clay. They knew kew of two rich widows were just spoiling to have their sunk in a mine. According spent two nights in salting they hadn't sufficient money some paying dirt but they came from a neighboring mine and lot of it over to dump into that When several tons of "paper had accumulated in the bottom mine, while one was talking about creating value of the district was dumping out all kinds o zinc ore before their astonishment. The widows bought a half that hole in the ground for $1 next day there was no more shaft, and the fellows decided would dig no longer. Then they bought other half interests by our home folks, and we must admit to the popular judgment—that a score of pigmy nationalities, in the splendid apparel than ourselves, by these signs our commercial suitors. There are, of course, those in my land who know better, but this department was and is an appeal to populous judgment; and if in the eye of the critic, who estimate a country by its day at this exposition, we fall behind Belgium and Denmark, to say nothing of Austria and Germany, our appearance in this field is a failure. It is as easy to fix the blame as it is easier to do so, for by the time for the next exposition the lesson and the final will be forgotten. A new President and a new Congress will be ready repeat the extravagance and the wonder. The fault is radical in our writing, changing governmental personnel. It is in a system which retires public officers as soon as they begin to show their business; a system which imposes little sense of responsibility on those who know their tenure is insistent, and who are answerable only to the brief day of their incumbency. Our resources are inexhaustible because they are the sources and forces nature, but another country acting foolishly and expending as lavishly we do would be ruined. There are those who will tell, whose business it is to tell a different story about the appearance of the United States at this fair. As a consequence, there are some who will never know the truth about it. There are doubts some who are incapable of believing the truth, no matter how much it may be. I am writing only for those who want to know the truth, because it is wholesome even when disreceable. The silliest patriotism, like the silliest family pride, is that which possesses and conceals, and resents the criticism—the diagnosis—indispensable a cure. We have made ourselves ridiculous sending a great host of commissioners to this fair, and they in turn have made us and themselves more ridiculous by insisting through official channels upon social recognition. Many of them, too many, with their sisters and their cousins and their aunts, have got involved and the way they wield and flourish and display it makes the groundlings grin, the judicious grieve. Dr. D. W. Hasson of Buena Park, Republican nominee for the Assembly, seventy-sixth district, was in the city on Tuesday shaking hands with friends hereabout. Astounded the Editor. Editor S. A. Brown, of Bennettsville, S. C., was once immediately surprised. "Through long suffering from dyspepsia," he writes, "my wife was greatly run down. She had no strength or vigor and suffered great distress from her stomach, but she tried Electric Bitters which helped her at once, and after using four bottles, she is entirely well, can eat anything. It's a grand tonic, and its gentle laxative qualities are splendid for torpid liver." For indigestion, loss of appetite, stomach and liver troubles it is a positive guaranteed cure. Only 50c. at P.

"Er—Well, he's one of those fellows that hasn't the nerve to be a shirt waist man, but goes around lugging his coat on his arm." Two Widows and a Salted Mine. A good story is told about how two prospectors had salted a mine in the Salena district in order to rob a couple of rich widows, which resulted in the aforesaid widows becoming much wealthier. The prospectors had spent their last cent in digging a hole in the ground to the extent of 60 feet without striking anything but yellow clay. But one of them knew of two rich widows who were just spoiling to have their money sunk in a mine. Accordingly they spent two nights in salting their mine. They hadn't sufficient money to buy some paying dirt, but they stole this from a neighboring mine and hauled a lot of it over to dump into their mine. When several tons of this "paying dirt" had accumulated in the bottom of their mine, the widows were sent for, and while one was talking about the increasing value of the district the other was dumping out all kinds of lead and zinc ore before their astonished eyes. The widows bought a half interest in that hole in the ground for $1,500. The next day there was no more ore in the shaft, and the fellows declared they would dig no longer. Then the widows bought the other half interest at a total Santa Fe Excursions To Redondo Beach, Santa Monica, Ocean Park, Long Beach, San Pedro and Terminal Island.
