" Judge S had been sick only about two I
weeks , and it was not until the last three or J
four days that the malady took a serious turn.
At the beginning of his illness he suffered from
diabetes and stomach disorder. Later the
kidneys refused to perform their functions and
he passed quietly away. Thus ended the life
of one of the most prominent men in Cali

timely death was the result of neglecting early
symptoms of kidney disease.

GENTS : The Queen Plater beats anything I
ever saw to make money. When I received it ,
I r > ut in a brass rhifj to test it , and to my sur
prise it was nicely silver plated in five minutes.
I made $29.50 the first week , and $47.85 the
second week , plating-jewelry and tableware.
At the end of the first month I had $197.45
clear profit. I now get all the knives , forks ,
spoons _ and jewelry one person can plate ,
without going from home. I will let my son
have the Plater I now have at home , and I am
going out to sell Platers. I sold three today ,
at $10.00 each , and did some plating besides.
I sent $2o.0o today for tour more Platers. I be-
believe any enterprising person can make a
grand success of this business.
Very respectfully ,

I called to see Congressman Mc

and he made several excuses , and
finally denied the claim , saying
that he had a conditional contract
of guaranty , etc. I asked him
how it could be that there was a
judgment ; when he claimed to
have a defense , why he did not
make it iut court before the judg
ment was rendered.
I finally told him that Mr. Berg
was a prominent German and that
he had friends all over this con

Berg would openly state the con

( McKeighan ) had refused to pay
it , that it would injure him among

A TRIFLE TOO GAUZY.
IHE letter of J. Sterling Morton
; o the voters of Nebraska , en
deavors to make capital out of
alleged frauds and misdemeanors
of the state administration. None
of these amount to anything ex
cept the attack on frauds committed
> y Farmer Hubbard at the insane
lospital. There is little doubt
; hatthis man who was intrusted
vith buying beef on foot for the
use of the hospital has in several
nstances swindled the state out of
small amounts. But he was a
mere employe , who took advantage
of the trust reposed in him to
steal. He has fled the state but
vill doubtless in due time be cap-
; ured and punished. Now if the
A.
stealing of Hubbard is the only
ustance that Mr. Morton can find
of peculations from the state after
all these years of republican rule ,
t is a pretty small indictment on
vhich to arraign the "republican
administration. " As to the attack
on the state treasurer because he
lees not pay warrants on the
general fund now empty , because
of the'prodigal appropriations of
: he populist legislature , which was
not backed by a levy sufficient to
provide the money to pay them
out of the school fund or some
other fund which is not exhausted ,
Vlr. Morton well knows that he
vould be the first man to jump on
he treasurer and demand his in
carceration in the penitentiary , if
le dared to disobey the plain pro
visions of the law and the consti-
iution which positively prohibit
; lie conversion of one fund for the
Denefit of another by either the
xeasurer , the legislature or any
other power in the state. It is too
gauzy to talk about. Journal.

DEMOCRATS LEAVING THEIR PARTY
IN LARGE NUMBERS.
Thousands of Democrat * Announce Thcii
Conversion to Republicanism The

Other Feature * Drive Them Out.
[ Special Correspondence. )
NEW YORK , Oct. 10. According to
the Democratic national committee
Great Britain has grown tired of her (
free trade and is about to put a tariff on
certain American products upon the
American protective theory. The liter
ary bureau of the Democratic headquar
ters announces that the English parlia
ment will as soon as it meets pass an
act placing a tariff on American wheat ,
for the double purpose of getting even
with the United States for our high tariff
duties and at the same time protecting
British colonists and British interests in
wheat growing Australia , Canada and
India. Thus it seems that the British are
actively co-operating with the Democrats
of this country to try to scare the farm
ers of the United States into voting
against Republican doctrines of protec
tion , while at the same time they are
admitting their value by proposing to
adopt them for the benefit of British ccl-
onists whom they propose to protect
against United States farmers. It is not
believed that this joint attempt of the
British and the Democratic party to
bluff the farmers into voting the Demo
cratic ticket will be a success.
Democrats Badly Alarmed.
The fact is the Democrats have be
come very much alarmed about the
situation. They have received reports
from the west which convince them
that the stories of prospective Demo
cratic success in the western states are
the merest moonshine. They have lost
hope of carrying Illinois , Wisconsin
and others of the western states which
a month ago they were claiming with
great persistency. Their only hope lies
now in the "assistant Democratic
party , " as the People's party has re
cently been denominated. If they can
get enough Republicans to vote with
that party in Kansas , Nebraska and the
Dakotas to carry the electoral votes
against the Republicans they will thus
accomplish all that they now expect.
But there is little prospect of that. The
Republicans of those states are seeing
clearly that they are being made game
of and that the Democrats are attempt
ing to use them as a cat's paw to pull
their chestnuts out of the lire. They
see that a vote for Weaver and Field is
indirectly a vote for Cleveland and
Stevenson.
The South and the Soldiers.
While upon this subject of the atti
tude of southern Democrats toward
Union soldiers , it may be interesting to
quote something from the Lynchburg
[ Va. ) News as an evidence of the real
reeling of the southern Democrats to
ward the old soldiers. Speaking of the
possibility that the outbreak of cholera
might interfere with the Grand Army
encampment at Washington that paper
said : "If that is all the harm the chol
era might do , we think the nation will
ae benefited by its appearance , for we
; hink it is high time that these .camp
meetings of the G. A. R. were broken
up and discontinued. They originated
and are designed to keep alive the sec-
ional divisions and animositv errowincr
out of the war and to promote the in-
; erests of the Republican party. The
jalhering in Washington is simply to
lelp Harrison to the presidency. Who
cares if the approaching cholera does
disconcert and break up its plans ? "
Cleveland Finds Things Mixed in New
York.
Ex-President Cleveland , who has come
New York for a permanent stay , finds
ihat he came none too soon. The leaders
are in a panicky condition. Not only
are they depressed over the discovery
; hat they cannot carry any of the rain-
) ow states for which they had vainly
loped , but they see the ground slipping
from beneath their feet in New York.
Almost every day some prominent
Democrat announces his transfer to Re-
rablican ranks. JNot only has General
sickles by every public utterance since
ike Chicago convention shown his ab
solute contempt for Mr. Cleveland , but
many other old soldiers are also doing
ihe same. General Beers , formerly of a
tfew York regiment , and a lifelong
Democrat , has announced his unwilling
ness to support Cleveland and Stevenson.
A prominent colored citizen an ex-
consul who has heretofore co-operated
with the Democrats , in a-long letter to
Chairman Harrity tells him why he
cannot support the Democratic nominee ,
who has shown himself unfriendly to
he colored race. Hon. George Ticknor
3urtis , a distinguished Democrat and a
awyer of great prominence , has an
nounced his withdrawal from the Demo
cratic party and his determination to
upport Harrison on a tariff and other
jrounds. Colonel Cohen , who was a
Democratic candidate for state senator
; wo years ago , has announced his with-
Irawal from the Democracy. Florien
Grosjean , the proprietor of an im
mense manufacturing establishment on
jong Island , and a warm personal
riend of Mr. Cleveland , announces his
withdrawal from the Democracy on
; ariff grounds and a determination to
vote with the Republicans. Mr. Glover ,
a prominent manufacturer of Glovers-
ville , N. Y. , announces that his experi-
nce with the McKinley tariff has led
lim to decide to transfer his allegiance
rein the Democracy to Republicanism.
Colonel Cockerill , of the New York
Commercial Advertiser , for many years
prominent Democrat , is working ac-
ively for Republican success. And there
re hundreds , yes , thousands , of others
11 over the state and all over the great
manufacturing sections , where a change
n the policy of the nation toward manu-
actures would prove disastrous.
Our commercial rivals in Europe do not
egnrcl this reciprocity policy as a "hham , "
jut as a. serious threat to a trade suprem-
cy they have long enjoyed. Harrison's

THE PANIC AN AMERICAN TIN PLATE
! CREATED IN NEW YORK SCHOOLS.
How an Innocent Campaign Souvenir
Was "Suppressed" by Tammany How
Children and Grown People Can Oat-
wit Tammany , Harrity and Grover.
The Democrats are evidently afraid of
the tin plate argument. They know that
ander the McKinley law the manufac
ture of tin plate in this country has not
only become practicable , but many mil
lions of dollars have been invested in it ,
forty or fifty establishments for its
manufacture opened , and thousands of
workmen given employment at good
prices. So they see that the feature
of the McKinley law , which they most
strongly denounced , is already proved
a blessing. But they want to conceal
that fact and prevent people talking
or thinking about it , or about the benefit
which protection brings. And they have
decided to use the official machinery of
Tammany in NewYork city to prevent it.
This was the way it came about : The
Protective Tariff league , through its sec
retary , Mr. Wilbur F. Wakeman , de
cided to bring the tariff question , and
particularly the tin plate feature of it ,
to the attention of the families of New
York by distributing to the school chil
dren as they came from the schools
daily some cute little tin plates , , made
of American tin , which bear a suitable
legend and are a matter of interest to
everybody. So they sent men to the
school buildings to distribute them free
of cost as the children trooped out at the
end of the day. The children went wild
over it. Every one wanted one of the
pretty , shining toys for himself or her
self , and one or two for the sister or
brother at home. The result was that
hundreds of thousands of the bright ,
handsome little plates were going into
the families of the city , and carrying
upon them this legend :

"AND WHEN I PLAY * '

; PLEA5E TAKE ME FOR '
' A BLOOMING
This was too much for Tammany. To
e > ee beautiful little souvenirs of this
kind bearing protection sentiments going
into the families of Democratic New
York would not do. So a consultation
was held in the secret chambers of Tam
many , and blue coated policemen were
detailed to stand guard at the schools
and prevent the distribution of the
plates. Of course they carried out their
orders , and when the eager children
next day looked anxiously for the dis
tributers they found them not. They
had been informed that they would be
arrested if they continued their distribu
tion.
tion.But
But it will not stop here. Under re
publican administration of the United
States government the mails are open
to all who want to use them , whether
Democrat or Republican , black or
white , old or young , of American or
foreign birth. And one of the pretty
little tin plates , which is accurately
represented in the cut , can be sent
with safety by mail. And the children
and grown people , too of the city
and the whole United States are smart
enough to know that. They can outwit
Tammany Hall and Chairman Harrity
and Mr. Cleveland and all the Demo
cratic machine by sending a two cent
stamp to Wilbur F. Wakeman , Protect
ive Tariff league , New York , and ask
ing for one of those cute little tin plates
to be sent by niail. And they will get
them.
European Bribes.
Nothing has proven more conclusively
the great advantage which our reci
procity treaty gives the United States
over the European countries than the
development of the scheme on the part
of Germany to induce South American
governments to break off their reci
procity treaties with the United States.
The evidence seems to be beyond ques
tion that an offer was sent from Ger
many to President Heureux , of San
Domingo , proposing to pay him § 50,000
a year if he would break off the reci
procity treaty with the United States.
President Heureux , it seems , sent a spe
cial envoy to the United States to see if
this country would make a higher bid.
Secretary Foster replied promptly that
"The United States is neither to be
blackmailed or bullied. If your coun
try breaks the treaty it must be prepared
to bear all the consequences , for in my
mind the word 'reciprocity' is associated
with 'retaliation. ' "
Pension Bill Vetoes.
The following is an accurate record of
the number of pension bills to which the
presidents since I860 have refused their
signatures. It is verified by statements
of the Democratic campaign text book ,
and its accuracy therefore will not be
questioned :
Lincoln None
Johnson None
Grant 5
Hayes Xone
Garfield None
Arthur None
Cleveland 524
Harrison None
The Democratic campaign text hook
says of the present system of national
currency : "It is readily conceded that
the currency has been uniform ; that the
losses from discounts and exchanges have
been light ; that the system ivas of great
assistance in the struggle for the Union ;
that depositors have lost little and that
note holders have lost nothing. " This
Bcems to he a sufficient argument against
exchanging It for the wildcat currency
under which the losses in the decade
prior to the Trar amonntedto S75.000.non.
