The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Proprietor. 1 HURSDAY...OCTOBER 4, 1900. The Democratic candidate for Congressman from this (the Seventh) Congressional district, has been visiting in San Diego and Riverside, and we believe is to be shortly with us in Orange county. The Sun of San Diego publishes an interview with him, given for publication, from which we take what Mr. Crichton has to say upon the great question before California fruit growers, the tariff on fruits. He says: "On the subject of tariff in a general sense, of course I am a Democrat, and my stand is taken on the well-known Democratic doctrine regarding that subject. That is to say, I am in favor of a tariff which really protects the American laborer and producer by furnishing revenue sufficient to discharge the obligations of the government without laying a direct tax upon him. But when a tariff is laid which permits large and powerful combinations of special interests to lay a burden of taxation on their shoulders, which does not go into the coffers of the general government, which these laborers and producers have to pay whenever they have to purchase the ordinary necessities of life, why you can say that to such a tax as that I am strictly and uncompromisingly opposed." Mr. Crichton here tells the fruit growers of California, those who make a living by growing oranges, lemons, raisins, walnuts, almonds and wine, that he is in favor of a "tariff for revenue." Our fruit farmers have had one experience so lately that their memory of the disastrous results is not at all dimmed by time. They can very easily recall the low prices they received under the free-trade Wilson tariff bill, and under what discouragements they pluckily hung on unstories at work, better wages and greater prosperity than the country has ever seen. "With which party will you vote?" What Mr. Cargill has done, many other Democrats of this county are now seriously contemplating. If the Democratic policy should prevail, our walnut and orange orchards might as well be abandoned. Walnuts have a protective tariff of 3 cents per pound, and even today, when the growers have fixed prices at 10 and 9½ cents per pound for soft and hardshells, respectively, the New York importers are threatening to import Grenoble nuts, which they say can be laid down in the Eastern market for less than our own product. Oranges and lemons have a protective tariff of a cent a pound, and even at that have to meet fruit from the Mediterranean in open competition in the Eastern markets. No free trade for California products! The San Francisco Examiner in its issue of Sept. 19th prints the following relative to free silver, which we reproduce from our last issue: "It is a pity that he [Mr. Bryan] has felt compelled to drag into renewed prominence the dead issue of the free coinage of silver. Much can happen—much has happened—in four years. What was possible in 1896 is impossible now. There is no longer any effective demand for free silver. The Republicans do not want it; the Democrats do not want it—even the Populists do not want it." The Republican party is doing more for silver than the Democratic party ever dreamed of. Prior to 1873 (the year of the "crime" against silver) the United States mints coined 80,000,000 silver dollars. That was in all the years from 1873 to the time of the beginning of the operation of the United States mints, in 1846—27 years. Since 1873 we coined, up to January 1, 1896, $547,914,340 of silver, about $426,000,000 of which were standard dollars. From January 1, 1896, to the 30th there before the town spread existence. The head of the family A. Pallitt, has a brother and relatives, with their wives and dren numbering twenty-one. Terprises of the Pallitt family have included walnut and orange cultifalfa fields and cattle. They have industrious and have prospered. A few nights ago the Santa Fe land out of Los Angeles took the clan East. They went, bag an gage, all off for a new home bey seas. They are going to Buenos Aires. One of the men has been down looking over land and invested or 10,000 acres of land, on whose whole family will settle. It must be a pleasant prospect takes the families from here walnut crop alone this year in about $16,000. They take with bill of exchange on London for and in all they take away about in gold. Pallitt has told a good deal in Argentina. For 200 miles slopes back from the river to des. It is as rich as peat laplowed up some of it and gathered bushels of corn an acre and 400 of wheat. The Pallitts will alfalfa growing and the raising tule One drawback to the coat lack of gold money. Gold premium of about 250 per cent currency is nearly all paper, is the Government. This does not the Pallitts, as their 150,000 American dollars will pass for $375,000 in the money of the They will put this money into about one American dollar (Labor is very cheap, about (American money) and English nibles a good market for all and hides raised. Clark vs. Bixby A million-dollar suit was filed Superior court in Los Angeles day. The title of the suit to Alamitos Sugar company agatham Bixby and Thomas Flipp is an action to compel the defraecrure a right-of-way for them from the Alamitos sugar factory agreement, over the lands naby Mrs. J. W. Bixby, Free Susan Bixby, to the Pacific In case of failure to do so, the sum of $1,000,000 damages. In June, 1896, W. A. Clark entered into an agreement Mr. Crichton here tells the fruit growers of California, those who make a living by growing oranges, lemons, raisins, walnuts, almonds and wine, that he is in favor of a "tariff for revenue." Our fruit farmers have had one experience so lately that their memory of the disastrous results is not at all dimmed by time. They can very easily recall the low prices they received under the free-trade Wilson tariff bill, and under what discouragements they pluckily hung on until a change in the political complexion of Congress enabled the framing and passage of the Dingley tariff law, and they know how bright their financial sky has been since. Knowing these things, it would be the height of folly to vote for any man who thus boldly enunciates his adherence to a theory that means ruin to our fruit growers. The California farmer is a clear-headed man of business. He knows what he wants, and he will get what he wants by voting for James Carson Needham for re-election to Congress. Eight years ago, on Cleveland's election to the Presidency, the Democratic walnut and orange growers of this county petitioned Congress to do just exactly what they had voted against at the preceding national election—they asked for a tariff on walnuts and oranges. They are taking no chances on this sort of thing this year. There are A. T. Pendleton, A. V. Smith, A. H. Cargill, F. A. Korn, Alexander Henry, Mr. Dahlman, James Forbes, Joseph Thales and other life-long Democrats who have renounced their party, and will vote for Protection for their own industries. We have the names of several others who are seriously considering the abandoning of the Democracy for similar reason. It is doubtful if Mr. Crichton will poll a very large vote among the fruit and nut growers of the county. Orange county ought to be good for 500 majority for McKinley and Needham. Mr. Cargill presided at a recent Republican meeting in this city. He there publicly renounced his Democracy, and accepted his baptism into the ranks of the Republican party. His changed political views are due to no mere idle passing fancy. He based it upon more loft-minded motives when he said: "You have all known me during my residence here as an old-time Democrat. For 20 odd years I never voted any but a straight Democratic ticket. In 1896 the Democratic party, departing from its old, time-honored principles, fused with other parties and principles, and I felt it my duty then to cast a vote for the election of William McKinley for President. I have never seen any reason to regret that action." "The Republican party is doing more for silver than the Democratic party ever dreamed of. Prior to 1873 (the year of the "crime" against silver) the United States mints that counted 80,000,000 silver dollars. That was in all the years from 1873 to the time of the beginning of the operation of the United States mints, in 1846—27 years. Since 1873 we coined, up to January 1, 1896, $547,914,340 of silver, about $426,000,000 of which were standard dollars. From January 1, 1896, to the 30th of last June, we coined $75,250,586 of standard silver dollars—nearly as much silver in four years as was coined in the 27 years before the "crime." During the first three years of President Cleveland's administration there was coined at the United States mints, from March 1, 1893, to April 30, 1896, $26,602,689 in silver. During the first three years of President McKinley's administration, from March 1, 1897, to April 30, 1900, there was coined $76,713,192 in silver—nearly three times as much. Who is the friend of silver? STATE ELECTION. Proclamation Calling It Made Public by the Governor—The Amendments. SACRAMENTO, Sept. 28.—In accordance with the law governing the matter, Governor Gage issued his proclamation for a general State election; to be held on Tuesday November 6, 1900. The proclamation calls for the election of the following State officials: Nine Electors of President and Vice-President of the United States. Seven Representatives to Congress, one from each Congressional district, and one Representative from the Second district for the unexpired term of Marion de Vries, resigned. Twenty members of the State Senate from odd-numbered districts. Eighty members of the State Assembly, one from each of the Assembly districts. One Superior judge from San Francisco, two each for Alameda, Fresno and Los Angeles counties, and one for Los Angeles county to fill an unexpired term; one each in Madera, Riverside. San Bernardino and Kings counties, and one each to fill unexpired terms in Contra Costa, Merced, Santa Clara, San Diego and Sacramento counties. Governor Gage makes no provision in the proclamation for the election of a member of the State Board of Equalization to fill the unexpired term of J. G. Edwards, deceased, and to succeed whom L. H. Brown was appointed. The Governor holds with Secretary of State Currey that members of the Board of Equalization are elected for a period of four years, and that no provision is made for electing to fill an unexpired term. The Governor's private secretary. Mr. Foley, states that the Governor, in giving his reason for the omission, cites the action of Governor Budd in even the Populists do not want it. The Republican party is doing more for silver than the Democratic party ever dreamed of. Prior to 1873 (the year of the "crime" against silver) the United States mints that counted 80,000,000 silver dollars.

He based it upon more loft-minded motives when he said: "You have all known me during my residence here as an old-time Democrat. For 20 odd years I never voted any but a straight Democratic ticket. In 1896 the Democratic party, departing from its old, time-honored principles, fused with other parties and principles, and I felt it my duty then to cast a vote for the election of William McKinley for President. I have never seen any reason to regret that action. "Like other sound-money Democrats I had hoped that the party would see its errors and return to its principles. The platform of 1896 was bad enough, but the platform adopted July 4th of this year is worse. It reminds me of the parable of the unclean spirit: 'He goeth out and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there, and the last state of that man is worse than the first.'" "We have come to the parting of the ways, when every man must choose his road and decide which party he will affiliate with; whether with the so-called Democracy, whose success means the upsetting of the financial, judicial and social fabrics of our government, or with the Republican party, which means the maintenance of financial and commercial stability, of our self-respect at home and esteem of all people the world over. "Realizing that the Democratic party has ceased to exist, I tonight accept my baptism as a member of the Republican party, and shall use my best endeavors and influence for the success of the Republican party. "I would like to draw your attention to a comparison between the last two administrations, and it seems to me that a study of this picture is sufficient to enable every man to decide his course. "In 1892 the Democrats entered into power (the previous administration having paid off $260,000,000 of the public debt); they added $230,000,000 to the debt. During the next four years the commercial failures were hundreds of millions. There were more unemployed men, more factories closed and greater hardships than the country had ever known. In 1897 Mr. McKinley entered into office. Times began to improve at once. Today there are fewer unemployed men, more fac- Governor Gage makes no provision in the proclamation for the election of a member of the State Board of Equalization to fill the unexpired term of J. G. Edwards, deceased, and to succeed whom L. H. Brown was appointed. The Governor holds with Secretary of State Currey that members of the Board of Equalization are elected for a period of four years, and that no provision is made for electing to fill an unexpired term. The Governor's private secretary. Mr. Foley, states that the Governor, in giving his reason for the omission, cites the action of Governor Budd in appointing William J. Jeter to be Lieutenant Governor vice Speaker G. Millard, whose death occurred shortly after his election. Mr. Jeter held the office for the full term—four years—and he calls attention to the fact that the section of the constitution applying to the election of a Lieutenant Governor applies also to the election of members of the State Board of Equalization. The proclamation also contains the several proposed constitutional amendments to be voted on at the coming election. They are published in order that electors may understand the nature of the amendments on which they will be called to vote. The amendments propose: Assembly constitutional amendment No. 6—To exempt from taxation all buildings used solely and exclusively for religious worship, and as much of the real property as is required for their convenient use and occupation. Assembly constitutional amendment No. 23—Confirming the foundation of the Stanford University and exempting from taxation all property held in trust for its founding, maintenance and benefits. Assembly constitutional amendment No. 14—To exempt from taxation the California School of Mechanical Arts. Senate constitutional amendment No. 14—To exempt State bonds, including school, reclamation and irrigation districts from taxation. Senate constitutional amendment No. 4—Empowering the legislature to make laws regulating the holding of primary elections. Senate constitutional amendment No. 9—Relating to salaries of supreme and superior judges, and providing for a stenographer for each judge. Senate constitutional amendment No. 15—Relating to the incurring of expenses by municipalities. Senate constitutional amendment No. 22—Proposing the establishing of courts of appeal. Off for South America. For more than twenty years the Palittt family resided at Rivera, on San Gabriel river, having located Here before the town sprang into existence. The head of the family, W. Pallitt, has a brother and other relatives, with their wives and children numbering twenty-one. The enquiries of the Pallitt family have included walnut and orange culture, almond fields and cattle. They have been industrious and have prospered apace. A few nights ago the Santa Fe overland of Los Angeles took the whole in East. They went, bag and baggage, all off for a new home beyond the hills. They are going to Buenos Aires. One of the men has been down there taking over land and invested in 8000-11,000 acres of land, on which the whole family will settle. It must be a pleasant prospect that takes the families from here. Their walnut crop alone this year is worth about $16,000. They take with them a full of exchange on London for $65,000, and in all they take away about $150,000 gold. Pallitt has told a good deal about life in Argentina. For 200 miles the land goes back from the river to the Anas. It is as rich as peat land. He bowed up some of it and gathered 100 bushels of corn an acre and 40 bushels of wheat. The Pallitts will go into Salvia growing and the raising of cathe. One drawback to the country is its lack of gold money. Gold is at a premium of about 250 per cent. The currency is nearly all paper, issued by the Government. This does not affect the Pallitts, as their 150,000 good American dollars will pass for about 775,000 in the money of the country. They will put this money into land at about one American dollar per acre. Labor is very cheap, about 25 cents (American money) and England furnishes a good market for all the beef and hides raised. Clark vs. Bixby. A million-dollar suit was filed in the superior court in Los Angeles on Saturday. The title of the suit is the Los Alamitos Sugar company against Joshua Bixby and Thomas Flint, and it is an action to compel the defendants to procure a right-of-way for the drainage from the Alamitos sugar factory, as per agreement, over the lands now owned by Mrs. J. W. Bixby, Fred H. and Susan Bixby, to the Pacific ocean, or, in case of failure to do so, to pay the sum of $1,000,000 damages. In June, 1896, W. A. and J. Ross Clark entered into an agreement with PLACENTIA ITEMS. R. H. Gilman has been very sick with a carbuncle on his neck. He is able to be up and walk about a little. J. N. Nenno and wife came home on Monday from a two-weeks' visit at Pasadena and Los Angeles. The Placentia Orange Growers' association held its annual meeting on Monday, and re-elected the old board of directors. Walnuts are being rapidly harvested. There is quite a little complaint about nuts not dropping free from the shuck, owing to so much dry weather. A few heavy, low fogs would change all this. John Lemke's house is completed. R. J. Laidlaw has sold his home place to an Eastern party. Miss Ruby Crowther returned on Saturday last to the Marlborough school at Los Angeles. A. S. Bradford is slowly recovering from his accident, and is able to be out, having the sight of one eye. The chances are good for his recovering the sight of the other. Mr. Wilshire's new house is up and partly inclosed. Mr. Paulsen is building an addition to his house. Mail Wagons. Mail wagons 1 and 2 were put on their routes on Monday. They are in charge of Frank Eastman and J. K. Eastman. Wagon No. 3, in charge of Clarence Lincoln, has been on the route for over a week. The three wagons make quite and interesting sight each morning as they start on their way to deliver mail to residents of outlying sections. Probably half the boxes are up on the three routes, and orders are in for many others. The carriers have been short of assistants to help them in the work of erecting them. They are unable to deliver and take up mail and erect posts and boxes, in time to catch trains. However the work of putting up boxes is making good headway, and probably before the month is out 75 percent of all will be in place. Carrier Eastman, on Route No. 1, says the service is taking so well with the people that he doubts not that by the end of the year he will have calls for 150. One hundred have been allotted his route, and yesterday he was well over the 50 mark, with more to be put up each day. MILITARISM MAKES BIERCE TIRED. Ambrose Bierce, In the San Francisco Examiner, Skins Alive the Bryan Bogy of Militarism. The following extracts are taken from a caustic letter from the vitriolic pen of Ambrose Bierce, published by the San Francisco Examiner in its issue of Sunday, September 16. It makes mighty interesting reading. That the heart of the Examiner is not in the work of electing Mr. Bryan to the presidency is evidenced by a hundred suggestive facts, and permitting Mr. Bierce's telling article in derision of Bryan's pet bogy of militarism to appear in the Examiner may be cited as proof. Only the pertinent extracts from the letter are taken. The impertinent suggestions are left out for sake of brevity: Those "farseeing statesmen" who find a pleasure and seek a profit in the fear of "militarism" ought to derive an unwelcome reassurance from the war in Luzon. For a pretty long time now the bulk of the dreaded United States army, backed by the entire power of the administration and having the moral support of a variously estimated fraction of public opinion in this country, has been trying to "overthrow the liberties" of an inconsiderable,半armed, ill-fed,moneyless and badly commanded rabble of semi-savages in that ungoverned island without visible result. Our soldiers hold the ground that they stand on, as they did at the beginning. Their commander has, as their other commander had a year ago,"the situation well in hand,"but now as then the enemy is obtuse enough to regard that as a merely academic advantage,and the war goes merrily on. If the United States army cannot subdue the Tagalos in Luzon, no greater in number than the population of any one of several our cities, what chance would it have against such large and powerful American tribes as the Webfeet,the Wolverines,the Hawkeyes,Pukes,Hoosiers,Buckles,Suckers Whalebackers,Tarheels,Crackers Coons and Smugwumps? The truth is that the power of an army operating in a hostile theatre of war against a determined but flexible Rats on a Wreck! A correspondent of the Chronicle describes a striking witness at the breaking vessel Gothenburg City on Island, off the coast of New York. The vessel might have been comfortably out of harbor that appeared except that no sign of life on board. We sooner put foot on deck, how we were furiously attacked by rats. Great, hungry, lank, lee rats, many of them with clawed off, swarmed up from hundreds and thousands, and squirming over each manner sickening and horrific. Those of us who had stepped ran to the rigging, while scrambled hurriedly back in our position in the rigging gerous in the extreme. If than one's life was worth to run the gantlet of those firing rodents, and to remain ging was equally impractical. At last we cut off some knitted them into conventions and so armed, descended our way through the squeezed and eventually succeeded passage to the boat. It seemed as if the rats had pending fate of the vessels, sooner saw us over the slid began to swarm down thru try to enter the boat. It wry cue that we could beat forecasting clear. And that in a horrible manner away. A few hours later the City went to pieces. Edgar W. Crowe VIOLINIST TEAM Orchestra Music furnished for octet-4-lim* Clark vs. Bixby. A million-dollar suit was filed in the superior court in Los Angeles on Saturday. The title of the suit is the Los Alamitos Sugar company against Joshua Bixby and Thomas Flint, and it is an action to compel the defendants to procure a right-of-way for the drainage from the Alamitos sugar factory, as per agreement, over the lands now owned by Mrs. J. W. Bixby, Fred H. and Susan Bixby, to the Pacific ocean, or, in case of failure to do so, to pay the sum of $1,000,000 damages. In June, 1896, W. A. and J. Ross Clark entered into an agreement with the late Llewellyn Bixby, owner of the Alamitos rancho, situated in the southern part of Los Angeles and the northern part of Orange counties, one of the conditions of which was that there should be a right-of-way over the lands lying between the factory and the ocean, a distance of about four miles for the drainage from the same. The Clarks transferred their agreement to the Los Alamitos Sugar company, the factory was built as was agreed and has been in successful operation for the past three seasons. In the meantime Llewellyn Bixby has died and the right-of-way for drainage has not been procured. On the contrary, suit has been brought against the sugar company for heavy damages for the ditch over the land in question, and as it is practically impossible to conduct the factory without means of disposing of the drainage, suit was instituted to compel the fulfillment of the contract or the payment of the value of the improvements made by the company. At the Theater. The Frank Cooley company, which has been touring through Southern California with great success, will play in Anaheim four nights, opening next Sunday night in the great melodrama entitled "The Black Flag"; Monday evening, "Ten Nights in a Barroom"; Tuesday evening, "Sapho," the much-talked-of play that created so much interest in New York; Wednesday evening, a grand bill that will be announced later. The company contains several fine singers. Prices, 10, 20 and 30 cents. Resolution. On the death of Mr. Stanley, killed by the cars at Santa Ana. Passed at M.E. church, Sunday, Sept. 30: Resolved that we, as a Methodist church, do hereby extend our heartfelt sympathy to Brother and Sister Stanley and mother in this their time of bereavement. Our prayer is that God may comfort and sustain them in their sorrow. ANAHEIM M. E. CHURCH. Malicious Persons. Some malicious person, about mid-night Saturday night, torre down the rural free delivery mail box belonging to Robert Hansen west of town. The post was wrenched from the ground and the signals on the box broken. This is a crime against the United States government, and the perpetrator will have the United States Marshal after him, should his identity be discovered. At the oil wells two posts were torn up and destroyed one evening last week, before the mail boxes were placed on them. The identity of this miscreant is pretty well understood, albeit many others. The carriers have been short of assistants to help them in the work of erecting them. They are unable to deliver and take up mail and erect posts and boxes, in time to catch trains. However the work of putting up boxes is making good headway, and probably before the month is out 75 percent of all will be in place. Carrier Eastman, on Route No. 1, says the service is taking so well with the people that he doubts, not that by the end of the year he will have calls for 150. One hundred have been allotted his route, and yesterday he was well over the 50 mark, with more to be put up each day. J.K. Eastman reports subscribers on his route No. 2 to be "tickled to death" with the service. In front of Mr. Cargill's residence at Brookshurst, on this route, there are four boxes alongside one another, all belonging to subscribers living within a quarter of a mile, all of them four miles from town. Mr. Blackfan, Victor Browning, Mrs. Ernest Browning and others on the avenue are being served on this route, and all are highly pleased with the service. Clarence Lincoln on Route No. 3 reports everything lovely on his route. He gets the mail to the oil wells before 1 o'clock, and the residents of that section seem to be greatly pleased with the service. Mail collection boxes have arrived, and have been set up on the routes. What's Your Face Worth? Sometimes a fortune, but never if you have a sallow complexion, a jaunce look, moth patches and blotches on the skin—all signs of liver trouble. But Dr. King's New Life Pills give clear skin, rosy cheeks, rich complexion. Only 25c at P.A. Derge's. Artesian Wells. It has been observed, says the Chicago Chronicle, that artesian wells have a daily period of ebb and flow, as well as the ocean tides, only the process is reversed. The time of greatest flow of an artesian well is the period of low tide in the ocean. Has this been the experience of owners of artesian wells hereabout? An old well owner informs us he never heard of it before. A Fiendish Attack. An attack was lately made on C.F. Collier of Cherokee, Iowa, that nearly proved fatal. It came through his kidneys. His back got so lame he could not stoop without great pain, nor sit in a chair except proped by cushions. No remedy helped him until he tried Electric Bitters, which effected such a wonderful change that he writes he feels like a new man. This marvelous medicine cures backache and kidney trouble, purifies the blood and builds up your health. Only 50c. at P.A. Derge's drug store. Dried Fruits. WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.—An immense increase in the export of American dried fruits to Germany is predicted by Consul General Mason in his report to the State Department, from Berlin. This is due in a great measure to the discontinuance of the inspection for the San Jose scale. A Berlin wholesale dealer informed the consulate that customers inquire almost exclusively for American products, especially California prunes, which are rapidly supplanting the French article. For sprains, swellings and lameness many others. The carriers have been short of assistants to help them in the work of erecting them. They are unable to deliver and take up mail and erect posts and boxes, in time to catch trains. However the work of putting up boxes is making good headway, and probably before the month is out 75 percent of all will be in place. Carrier Eastman, on Route No. 1, says the service is taking so well with the people that he doubts, not that by the end of the year he will have calls for 150.

He gets the mail to the oil wells before 1 o'clock, and the residents of that section seem to be greatly pleased with the service. Mail collection boxes have arrived, and have been set up on the routes. What's Your Face Worth? Sometimes a fortune, but never if you have a sallow complexion, a jaunce look, no shame in seeking and keeping cover, no reluctance in taking to its heels when hard pushed, no "pomp and circumstance," no nonsense. It is altogether practical, devoid of scrubple and concerned to do what is expedient. It fights as wild beasts—without thought of personal dignity without love of the sport—just a cold-blooded diligence in killing and a cowardly cunning in getting away. It is such a force that the foolhardy British have encountered, or tried to encounter, in South Africa. That which heroic American has been vainly endeavoring to get himself "up against" in Luxon is much the same. If the confederates of our civil war had practiced the same strategy and tactics with the same cowardly intelligence they would have won the war and despised themselves over after. To a country like this an army of 100,000 men is nothing. Recalled from the Orient to seat a presidential usperp and landing at San Francisco it would never reach the Missouri river. Dispatched from some central point to prevent the people from arming and drilling—bah. The thought is too absurd. Count the counties in the United States and see how many men it could spare to occupy each. Numberthe towns big enough to have gun stores,and see how many soldiers would be required to keep the people from arming—though virtually they are armed already. How many iron workers and machine shops would have to be seized to keep the American people from making cannon? And what wouldthe state militia be doing? One hundred thousand men a peril to this republic! They could not holdthe city of New York. To our seventy-five million people an army of 1,000,000 men not havingthe gift of ubiquity would be a plaything. Fancy one soldier trying to subdue an American townshipof seventy-five inhabitantsof whom every second man ownsa firearmand knowshowto useit. And to givein miniaturethe conditions that would obtainwith an armyof one hundred thousandasyou cannot divideyour soldieryou may multiplyyour inhabitantsto sevenhundredand fifty.

Malicious Persons. Some malicious person, about midnight Saturday night, tore down the rural free delivery mail box belonging to Robert Hansen west of town. The post was wrenched from the ground and the signals on the box broken. This is a crime against the United States government, and the perpetrator will have the United States Marshal after him, should his identity be discovered. At the oil wells two posts were torn up and destroyed one evening last week, before the mail boxes were placed on them. The identity of this miscreant is pretty well understood, although not sufficient evidence is had against him to warrant his arrest. Nevertheless he may have a friendly call from the United States Marshal, to see what he knows about the matter.

The second well, at a depth of 550 feet, struck water, which caused some trouble. Now, at a depth of 715 feet, a large flow of water has stopped drilling, and it is believed all the casing will have to be pulled up. Banker Routes a Robber. J. R.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.—An immense increase in the export of American dried fruits to Germany is predicted by Consul General Mason in his report to the State Department, from Berlin. This is due in a great measure to the discontinuance of the inspection for the San Jose scale. A Berlin wholesale dealer informed the consulate that customers inquire almost exclusively for American products, especially California prunes, which are rapidly supplanting the French article. For sprains, swellings and lameness there is nothing so good as Chamberlain's Pain Balm. Try it. For sale by P. A. Derge, druggist.

"Before I went to college," said a minister of this city, "I did supply work on a certain charge one summer. In the Methodist church we had service morning and evening. There was a Presbyterian church in the village, and the pastor from another village supplied it, preaching there once a Sunday in the afternoon. I went to hear him one afternoon. He was a college bred man and was supposed to be away up. When he spied me in the congregation, he came down and asked me to assist in the opening exercises. When we were seated, he asked me to read the first lesson and at the same time announced that it was a certain chapter in the book of Numbers. Just before I was to read I reached up to the desk and took down the Bible and opened at the place. I glanced down over the chapter and saw that it was a mass of unpronounceable names. I knew that he was working a joke on me. He knew that I could not get away with those names. I said nothing, but when the time came I stood up and announced the chapter following and read it. "When I sat down, he gave me a look, and he got one back. I whispered hoarsely, 'I guess not.' Those were the only words spoken on this subject."—Utica Observer. In the year 1890 the exportations of manufactured products aggregated $151,000,000. Partisans of Mr. Bryan arise every once in a while to declare that the doctrine that protection fosters industry has been exploded. Since 1890 we have not had a continuous operation of a Republican tariff. The Wilson bill broke in upon the policy established by McKinley and Blaine and it was not until 1897 that the country returned to a Republican tariff policy, and yet the exports of manufactured products for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1900, amounted to $125,000,000. That means a great deal of work for a great many people who, but for the growth of our manufacturing industries, must have been forced into the ranks of the unemployed. Pat's Heady Wit. An Irishman who was traveling through London met two Englishmen, who thought they would play a joke on him. One of them said: "Good morning, Pat! Did you hear the devil is dead?" The Irishman put his hand in his pocket and gave each a copper. They asked what this was for, to which he replied: "'Tis always a custom in old Ireland, when the father is dead, to give something to the poor orphans!' Heartless Man. "Dear," said the dying man, "I don't want you to go into mourning for me when I am gone." "Oh, George!" she sobbed. "Don't be so hard upon me." "Hard? Why love, I simply want you to be happy. You are young yet. Why should you deck yourself with widow's weeds?" "It's mean of you, George! You know black is so becoming to me!"—Catholic Standard and Times. Rats on a Wreck. A correspondent of the Newcastle Chronicle describes a striking scene witnessed at the breaking up of the vessel Gothenburg City on St. Mary's Island, off the coast of Northumberland. The vessel might have been sailing comfortably out of harbor for aught that appeared except that there was no sign of life on board. We had no sooner put foot on deck, however, than we were furiously attacked by swarms of rats. Great, hungry, lank, lean looking rats, many of them with their tails clawed off, swarmed up from below in hundreds and thousands, squeaking and squirming over each other in a manner sickening and horrible to behold. Those of us who had stepped on deck ran to the rigging, while the others scrambled hurriedly back into the boat. Our position in the rigging was dangerous in the extreme. It was more than one's life was worth to attempt to run the gantlet of those fierce, starving rodents, and to remain in the rigging was equally impracticable. At last we cut off some loose ropes, knotted them into convenient lengths and, so armed, descended and fought our way through the squealing hordes and eventually succeeded in beating a passage to the boat. It seemed as if the rats knew the impending fate of the vessel, for they no sooner saw us over the side than they began to swarm down the ropes and try to enter the boat. It was with difficulty that we could beat them off before casting clear. And they squeaked in a horrible manner as we rowed away. A few hours later the Gothenburg City went to pieces. Edgar W.
