It is quite evident, from conservative reports received from many localities in the Western States, that the attempt on the part of Mr. Bryan and the rest of the Democratic-Populist party to lead the farmers astray on the trust question is not proving effective. In his speech accepting the Populist nomination he charged that the trusts fix the price of everything the farmer buys, and that, since the trusts pay as little as they can for raw material, they take the poor agriculturist both coming and going. Unluckily for Mr. Bryan, the farmers know better; they have had some experience of their own. It is doubtless true that the prices of some manufactured articles consumed by them have been raised, but only slightly; and farmers are well aware that the prices of most of the manufactured articles that they consume have been lowered considerably. Moreover, they are even surer that Mr. Bryan's other statement is false, namely, that they cannot get so much for their own products. They know that they not only can, but that they have and do—and can continue to do so, as witness the present favorable walnut season, and the recently closed orange season. In a word, if the reports received at headquarters may be believed, and they have a monotony of under-tone favorable to a continuance of McKinley prosperity, the Western farmer regards the trust question as a business proposition, rather than a political matter. They can see farther ahead than their own noses, and they know very well that if the Bryanite scheme of legislation, intended to prohibit the organization at a cost per piece not exceeding the free delivery in many cities. It was a Republican administration that conceived and executed the idea of brightening the home of the farmer, educating his children, increasing the value of his land, compelling the improvement of the roads, and bringing him news of the markets and of the weather, so as to secure him a better price for his crops by delivering his daily mail to him on his farm. Every Democratic House of Representatives since the idea was first broached of carrying the mails into the rural districts has declared against it. The Forty-third Congress, with a Democrat from North Carolina as chairman of the committee on postoffices and postroads, proclaimed the plan impossible and turned it down. Postmaster General Bissell, Postmaster General Wilson and First Assistant Postmaster General Jones, in the Cleveland administration, all took up the cry of extravagance and impossibility of execution. Consequently little or nothing was done to give the farmers access to the mails until Cleveland went out of office. When First Assistant Postmaster General Perry S. Heath took up the rural free delivery service, under the direction of the President and the Postmaster General, in March, 1897, it was languishing to the point of extinguishment, and in a few months more would have been "starved to death." They at once grasped its possibilities and advocated its immediate development, and a Republican Congress generously seconded their efforts. Under their vivifying touch it has grown until there is now not a State in the Union that has not felt the civilizing and educational influence of rural free mail delivery, and not one State that does not desire a further expansion of the service.

A few years ago the snow would drift and pile up in the mountain gulches, thickly studded with pine and other trees, forming an almost impenetrable forest protection, and there gradually melt away, supplying water for the streams until late in the season. This now, has too often changed. The timber has gradually but surely been cut and burned away, until some of the finest forests of the mountains have disappeared. Where the snow banks would remain until late in the season, they now disappear months earlier, and instead of melting gradually the flood waters come with a rush and then cease when most needed. There is hardly anything more important than forest protection and preservation, which means a guarding of the water supply. Every State and every section should arouse to active local organization and national co-operation. Judge Shanley has shown us an extract from a Pittsburg paper, in which reference is made to the contemplated trip of the Americus club of that city to approaching political demonstrations in Chicago and New York. The Judge used to be a member of the Americus club, which is one of the foremost political marching clubs in the country, and when he got out with them, used to jump up and crack his heels together along with the best of them. The club has decided to parade in Chicago on October 27th, and in New York on November 3d. The club will be the guest of the Hamilton club of Chicago, will be quartered at the Auditorium hotel and will have a band of 40 pieces to furnish the music. It is to be a daylight demonstration. The club will leave Pittsburgh Friday evening. They at once grasped its possibilities and advocated its immediate development, and a Republican Congress generously seconded their efforts. Under their vivifying touch it has grown until there is now not a State in the Union that has not felt the civilizing and educational influence of rural free mail delivery, and not one State that does not desire a further expansion of the service. We have received from Controller Colgan a report of the values of property in, and indebtedness of, each county in the State for 1900. The total value of all property is $1,218,292,457; total original assessed value of mortgages, $156,444,755; total county indebtedness, $3,629,379.40. The figures for the Southern California counties follow: | Rank | Total value all property | Total county indebtedness | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Los Angeles | $101,180,070 | $808,500 | | Orange | $109,676,983 | 100,000 | | Riverside | $121,145,018 | 157,155 | | San Bernardino | $109,793,127 | 168,500 | | San Diego | $201,031,546 | 168,500 | | San Luis Obispo | $129,598,301 | 82,000 | | Santa Barbara | $182,607,120 | 2,243 | | Ventura | $8349118 | 4,000 | The eight counties included in the foregoing possess nearly one-sixth of the total assessed value of the property in the State. That Eastern business men are genuinely alive to the importance of Western arid land reclamation is shown by the continuous press reports of the action of various business and commercial organizations endorsing the national irrigation movement, and urging the reclamation of the arid region. The recent action of the executive committee of the National Business league at Chicago, whose membership represents tens of millions, is an example. Strong resolutions were adopted urging upon Congress the preservation and development of the national resources by the construction of storage reservoirs by the federal government for flood protection and to save for use in aid of navigation and irrigation the flood waters which now run to waste and cause overflow and destruction, and for the reclamation of the arid public lands. Also, the necessity for the preservation of forests and reforestation of denuded forest areas as sources of water supply; the conservation of existing supplies by approved methods of irrigation and distribution; the increase of the water resources of the arid region by the investigation and development of underground supplies, and the united ownership of land and water. The resolutions embodied a specific demand for an annual appropriation. Emma Vail to Iowa Oil Co.-14, 15 and 21, block 36, and lot 512 Carlton; $10. Isaac D.

The club will leave Pittsburg on Friday evening, October 26th, and reach Chicago early Saturday morning. Returning, they will leave Chicago Sunday evening and will get into Pittsburg early enough Monday morning to attend to business. An invitation to go to New York to take part in the great daylight demonstration was also accepted. This trip will also be arranged to extend from Friday night to Monday morning. The Judge's sighs when he contemplates these two trips. Whenever his Honor gets in a reminiscent mood, he tells you about the big times he used to have with the Americus club. Here's luck to the Pittsburghers. May they leave a streak of red in their wake wherever they go. Rural free mail delivery is the most striking extension of postal facilities brought about in the last four years. On June 1, 1900, there were 1200 rural delivery services in actual operation, and 2000 applications for an extension of the system then in process of establishment. The appropriations for the rural free delivery service have been increased from $50,000 in the fiscal year 1897-98 to $150,000 in 1898-99, then to $450,000 in 1899-1900, and lastly to $1,750,000 for the fiscal year 1900-1901. Three years' experience has shown that in well-selected rural districts the mails can be distributed to the domiciles of the subscribers, or in boxes placed within reasonable distance of the farmer's home at some crossroad or other convenient spot, reclamation of the arid public lands. Also, the necessity for the preservation of forests and reforestation of denuded forest areas as sources of water supply; the conservation of existing supplies by approved methods of irrigation and distribution; the increase of the water resources of the arid region by the investigation and development of underground supplies, and the united ownership of land and water. The resolutions embodied a specific demand for an annual appropriation of not less than $250,000 for irrigation surveys and maps of irrigable public lands, with plans and estimates of cost of reservoirs, canals and irrigation works necessary for land reclamation, and for sinking experimental artesian wells by the United States geological survey; and of not less than $100,000 for irrigation investigations by the Department of Agriculture. The National Business league is sending copies of these resolutions to all the multitude of commercial organizations in the United States, with a request for their endorsement of the national policy set forth therein, and asking for their co-operation to secure the support of their Senators and Congressmen for said policy and for said appropriations to carry the same into effect. The report of the State Bank Commissioners has just been received by the Citizens bank. The report shows that at the close of business August 11th last there were in the State 178 commercial banks, 53 savings banks, 19 private banks and 37 national banks. The net gain in deposits in all the banks during the year amounts to $22,973,693.88. That is prosperity for you. That was a great "break" on the part of candidate Crichton, at Perris, in Riverside county, the other night, when he talked to his audience as "citizens of Orange county."

If Republicans stand to their guns they will send a solid delegation to congress this fall and it will be a delegation of solid men, too. Mr. Frank L. Coombs, in the first district, is a man of experience in political life, a man who has been tried in different stations and has filled every station with credit to himself and his party. He is such a man as in the state of Maine, or some other state that has reached years of disretention would be sent to congress and kept there during his natural life, becoming a power for his state and his country. It is time California were pursuing a similar policy. Mr. S. D. Woods, the Republican nominee in the second district, is a hearty, wholesome man of affairs, full of courage and enthusiasm, conversant with all of the needs of his state and district, a partisan of no particular interest but a true representative of all interests. His election will put the second district in accord with the Republican policy and give California a weight of influence in national affairs not to be had by a divided delegation. Let no Republican in the second district forget Mr. Woods and his candidacy. The candidate for congress from the third district is Mr. Victor Metcalf, a man who has made an enviable reputation during a first term in congress, and if the Republicans of the third district do their duty at the coming election he will go back to congress fully equipped to serve his district, his state and his country to great advantage. Mr. Julius Kahn, candidate for re-election in the fourth district, is a strong man, and did some very splendid work for his state while in congress. Although his district lies wholly within the city of San Francisco, irrigation had no better friend in congress during the last session than he, and every voter who has influence with any other voter in his district should use that influence on behalf of Mr. Julius Kahn. Mr. E. F. Loud is candidate for re-election to congress from the fifth district. He has been in congress for a number of terms, has attained a station and influence most enviable is a hard American citizen. The world has been slow in recognizing the solidarity of human race, but it is a stupendous fact. A little while ago one of the most eloquent Bryanite orators on this coast declared that if McKinley were elected and the present policy were extended two years longer it would result in the downfall of the republic. An indignant lad of 17 arose and walked out, declaring that he would not listen to such rot for he did not believe a word of it. That boy will make a man just so sure as he lives to maturity. And Republican orators may have, in their zeal and anxiety, predicted more grave consequences to free government from the election of Bryan than the facts warrant. The perpetuity of our institutions does follow a name forever without what that name comes so starkly This is just a heart to hear tween your political self and you self and these questions are answered to yourself, not to answer What claim has this new Bryan Democracy upon you? The old-time Democracy still pansion. This one for a little The old-time Democracy hard money, or paper money able in hard money on demons new fangled Democracy start money, Populist money, or money money that is half flat The old-time Democracy dividalist party. This new Democracy coquettes with So has swallowed into its capitals Mr. Julius Kahn, candidate for re-election in the fourth district, is a strong man, and did some very splendid work for his state while in congress. Although his district lies wholly within the city of San Francisco, irrigation had no better friend in congress during the last session than he, and every voter who has influence with any other voter in his district should use that influence on behalf of Mr. Julius Kahn. Mr. E. F. Loud is candidate for re-election to congress from the fifth district. He has been in congress for a number of terms, has attained a station and influence most enviable, is a hard worker, clear-headed and conscientious, and should be returned to congress with an increased majority. Mr. Henry, the Bryanistic candidate in opposition to Mr. Loud, is trying to steal a ride on Mr. Loud's platform, discarding his own, but the ruse hardly work. It takes a true Republican to carry out Republican policies, and Mr. Lord is a true blue Republican. In the sixth district Mr. James McLaughlan is the Republican standard bearer. He has served a term or more in congress and knows the ropes. He knows the needs of his district, too, and is well posted in national affairs. He is a capable man, sincere and heartily in accord with Republican policies. Republicans should strain every nerve to elect him. In the seventh district Mr. J. C. Needham is making a very splendid race for re-election to congress, and Mr. Crichton, his Bryanistic opponent, is striving to weaken Mr. Needham's hold on the district by crawling onto the same platform with himself. Seventh district voters are not likely to be deceived by any such device, and it stands Republicans in that district well in hand to see to it that such a ruse does no deceive any one. Mr. Needham deserves an increased majority at the hands of his constituents. Of all states in the Union, California most needs a solid Republican delegation in Congress. Such a delegation has been placed in nomination and their election should be made sure. Our industries and our commercial prospects are all dependent for prosperity on on the perpetuation of Republican policies. Stripped of its husks so as to get at the wheat, the good, solid kernel of the political controversy now pending is shall the existing national policy be continued or shall it be exchanged for a new national policy of an experimental, if not of a doubtful, character? The occasion is one that calls, on behalf of the voter, for the exercise of a plausible common sense. He can be trusted. It is a fact conceded on all sides by those who live in or have been in Washington that President McKinley is looked upon by men of all parties as a great and safe man and a statesman, and many a supporter of Bryan will breathe easier when he becomes assured that the people of the United States have definitely determined to have done with Bryanism, once and for all, and to move ahead. What claim has this new Bryan Democracy upon you? The old-time Democracy stagnant. This one for a little change. The old-time Democracy hard money, or paper money bleed in hard money on demons new fangled Democracy stale money, Populist money, money that is half flat. The old-time Democracy individualist party. This new Democracy coquettes with Soil has swallowed into its capa an entire Socialistic party under the name of populism. The old time Democracy tenacity to old and approval of public policy. This new Democracy is a political adversary by political adventurer by Boss Croker, who, as chief among many hall, does politics only. What claim has that upon you except in the name limberger cheese smell were called a rose? Does this anism Democracy make it a tive of Democracy? Two years ago, right after the San Francisco Examiner that the Republican victorious accounted for on the ground Republican party had nearly represent the principle than the Bryan Demo Examiner was right. The now. A vote for McKinley and a vote to destroy this Democracy and to rehab Democracy of the fathers only. What is your duty? and answer yourself at the time. Mr. Bryan has ventured that Mr. Roosevelt ought to kill trusts. He probably if Mr. Bryan were at home but the fact of the matter Roosevelt did his part in bringing business before he left his influence back of it, the legislature (Republican) even gent anti-trust law. Mentioned that law and the Torrey general brought success Tammany ice trust, and now comes Boss Cropper Wycks and the other N partners of W. J.

Garrison, Cashier of the bank of Thornville, Ohio, had been robbed of health by a serious lung trouble until he tried Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption. Then he wrote: "It is the best medicine I ever used for a severe cold or a bad case of lung trouble. I always keep a bottle on hand." Don't suffer with colds, coughs or any throat, chest or lung trouble when you can be cured so easily. Only 50c. and $1. Trial bottles free at P. A. Derge's drug store. Joe Backs Wins. A fifty-yard foot race was run on South Los Angeles street yesterday afternoon between Joe Backs and a sprinter from Los Angeles named Charley Nolan. In the first trial Nolan came in ahead, but another trial was ordered because Nolan fouled Backs by interfering with and running in front of him. In the second heat Backs got the better of the start, and increased his lead, when, at about 30 feet of the outcome, Nolan gave up. Opinion was divided as to which one was the faster runner, but the local sports say Backs can beat Nolan any day in the week. Nolan and his backer asked for another race for $100, but the local sports pocketed their winnings and sawed wood. The race was for $10, and about $15 changed hands.

It is a fact conceded on all sides by those who live in or have been in Washington that President McKinley is looked upon by men of all parties as a great and safe man and a statesman, and many a supporter of Bryan will breathe easier when he becomes assured that the people of the United States have definitely determined to have done with Bryanism once and for all, and to move ahead along the lines laid down in the last four years and in the same old way. A mistaken sense of duty to party prompts many to stand public for what will not receive their votes privately. They lack the courage to stand out, but will vote right when the time comes. Whether viewed from the standpoint of experience, tactfulness, strength of character or patriotic devotion to the best interests of his country, William McKinley is regarded by the greatest men of the nation as absolutely the most suitable man in America to fill the presidential office. Next to him is point of fitness stands Theodore Roosevelt. There is no weak spot in the ticket. MANLY AMERICANISM. "It was indeed a lesson for all of the younger men to see soldiers like General Butler of South Carolina, General Wheeler of Alabama and General Fitzhugh Lee of Virginia again in the blue uniform and fighting under the old flag. I think if there is one thing which we need to keep perpetually before us, and especially, gentlemen, when there is a political contest on, it is the essential unity of our people, and the essential solidarity of our people. If prosperity comes to us—if honor comes to us—it will come to all. If adversity comes, all of us will suffer more or less on account of it. In this audience, you, the men of business, will not get up if the wage worker and the farmer go down. If they go down you will go down, and when they are going up it means that business will be prosperous too. Fundamentally our interests are the same."—Roosevelt at St. Louis. It will be good to read the foregoing over and over. The spirit of it should become incarnate in the heart of every new national policy of an experimental if not of a doubtful, character? The occasion is one that calls, on behalf of the voter, for the exercise of a plaint common sense. He can be trusted. OLD TIME DEMOCRAT. Just a word, please. You have long associated yourself with a political organization that has favored hard money and been opposed to flat money in any form. You have fancied that you belonged to a conservative political organization, an organization that opposed the Republicans because you felt that they were going too fast. All right. Four years ago a band of young political adventurers made a raid upon the Democracy that you belonged to, because your party was then in hard straits to win the forthcoming election, by reason of a great panic that had taken place, and captured your party organization. It was a brilliant stroke on their part and did not come so very far from winning an election. Do you wish it had been successful? Ask your own heart now, all by yourself, do you wish that Bryan had been elected president four years ago? Don't you feel that, in view of the Spanish war, in view of the diplomacy which had to be handled with consummate care in order to avoid war with some European power of consequence, in view of the better times that have come with Republican policies—don't you feel that, after all, it has been better as it than it would have been had Bryan been elected? And, honor bright now, answer to your ownself not to another, wont you feel a little safer when you find out that McKinley has been re-elected and that the policy which has done so much is to be continued? Won't you now? What claim has this new fangled, Bryan Democracy upon you anyway? What is there in it that is Democratic except the name? Are you going to LOCAL SELF GOVERNMENT The little, red school house can government was the house of New England; that the foundation of life was always be that local, shall be the training of government of a larger city. It will be seen from the tract from President Mickey if instructions to the county Philippine islands preciates this fact and augurate local self-government over the people have them to undertake self-government locally. There is no other complete self government but not likely to be a show.

The old-time Democracy stood for expansion. This one for a little America. The old-time Democracy stood for hard money, or paper money redeemable in hard money on demand. This new fangled Democracy stands for flat money, Populist money, slathers of money, money that is half hard and half flat. The old-time Democracy was an individualist party. This new fangled Democracy coquettes with Socialism and has swallowed into its capacious maw an entire Socialistic party organization under the name of populism. The old time Democracy clung with tenacity to old and approved methods of public policy. This new fangled Democracy is a political adventure managed by political adventurers reinforced by Boss Croker, who, as chief of Tammany hall, does politics for revenue only. What claim has that organization upon you except in the name? Would limberger cheese smell like a rose if it were called a rose? Does calling Bryanism Democracy make it a representative of Democracy? Two years ago, right after the election, the San Francisco Examiner declared that the Republican victories were to be accounted for on the ground that the Republican party had come to more nearly represent the principles of Jefferson than the Bryan Democracy and the Examiner was right. The same is true now. A vote for McKinley and Roosevelt is a vote to destroy this new fangled Democracy and to rehabilitate the Democracy of the fathers of that party. What is your duty? Ask yourself and answer yourself at the polls. Mr. Bryan has ventured the opinion that Mr. Roosevelt ought to be at home killing trusts. He probably would be if Mr. Bryan were at home killing time, but the fact of the matter is that Mr. Roosevelt did his part in the trust killing business before he left home. With his influence back of it, the New York legislature (Republican) enacted a stringent anti-trust law. Mr. Roosevelt signed that law and the Republican attorney general brought suits against the Tammany ice trust, among others. And now comes Boss Crocker, the Van Wycks and the other New York partners of W. J. Bryan and, by their attorneys, in courts which Tammany and the boss of Tammany have set up, have delayed action until after election, because it would not be a vote-making proposition to have the facts of the ice trust aired just previous to election. Again Mr. Bryan's fishhook caught in the seat of his own trousers. Mr. Bryan complained bitterly at a meeting of farmers he was addressing up in Wisconsin the other day that the exportation of butter to foreign countries was falling off while the exportations of oleomargarine was increasing. Our people are now eating cow butter and sending bull butter abroad. Would Bicycles and Sporting Goods. A full stock of bicycle supplies. Bicycle repairing of all kinds promptly done.

IN THE SUPERIOR COURT, State of California, County of Orange. Notice for Publication of Time for Proving Will, etc. In the matter of the Estate of George Stadtegger. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT FRIEDAY, the 24 day of November, 1900, at 10 o'clock A.M., of said day at the Court Room of this Court in the City of Santa Ana County of Orange State of California has Mr. Bryan complained bitterly at a meeting of farmers he was addressing up in Wisconsin the other day that the exportation of butter to foreign countries was falling off while the exportations of oleomargarine was increasing. Our people are now eating cow butter and sending bull butter abroad. Would it make Mr. Bryan feel any better to have our own people eat the bull butter and have the cow butter shipped abroad? A few years ago the American people were selling all the good things they produced and eating the scraps. Now they are eating the good things and selling the scraps. That is the difference, and that difference is in favor of Republican policy. LOCAL SELF GOVERNMENT. The little, red school house of American government was the town meeting house of New England. It was there that the foundation of government by of and for the people was laid. It must always be that local, self government shall be the training school for self government of a larger character. It will be seen from the following extract from President McKinley's letter if instructions to the commissioners in the Philippines islands that he fully appreciates this fact and will actively inaugurate local self government wherever the people have the wit and wisdom to undertake self government even locally. There is no other road to complete self government but this and this is not likely to be a short road either. Read what follows and see if it sounds like imperialism: "You are enjoined, first to establish municipal governments, giving to the natives the opportunity to manage their own local affairs to the fullest extent of which they are capable and subject to the least degree of supervision and control consistent with the maintenance of order; and second, to extend the government by the natives to the large administrative districts corresponding to counties or provinces." McKINLEY ON LABOR. "I believe, Mr. Chairman, in arbitration as a principle; I believe it should prevail in the settlement of international difficulties. It represents a higher civilization than the arbitrament of war. I believe it is in close accord with the best thought and sentiment of mankind; I believe it is the true way of settling differences between labor and capital; I believe it will bring both to a better understanding, uniting them closer in interest and promoting better relations, avoiding force, avoiding unjust exactions and oppressions, avoiding the loss of earnings to labor, avoiding disturbances to trade and transportation; and if this House can contribute in the smallest measure, by legislative expression or otherwise, to these ends, it will deserve and receive the gratitude of all men who love peace, good order, justice and fair play." The foregoing was the opinion of William McKinley in 1886 and it is his opinion still. It was right then and it is right now, and capital and labor are fast coming to that conclusion. Now again obdurate corporations stand out and decline to arbitrate, but by so doing they forfeit public regard and will get small share of public sympathy if great loss betall them. Conciliation and arbitration should be exhausted before a hand should be lifted in direction of a strike or of a lockout. Reasonable men will nearly always do the reasonable thing after listening to reason, and most laboring men will listen to reason if their employers will approach them frankly. It is only the man who is intoxicated with the possession of power who will neither reason nor be reasoned with. While the controversies between labor and capital are not involved in issue in this campaign, it is reassuring to know that President McKinley's views are as sound as they are. Our domestic exports during the year 1866, the first full year after the civil war, were valued at $337,518,102. For the first year after the Spanish war, 1899, our domestic exports were of the value of $1,203,931,222, an increase of almost four fold in a single generation, under a tariff system that, so the Bryanites would have us believe, is pre-eminently intended to restrict and not to extend commerce with the world. No other nation can make such a showing. IN THE SUPERIOR COURT, State of California, County of Orange.
