THE SILVER QUESTION B. A., Centrai House, Butte County, and M. P.H., George- town, El Dorado County, Cal. The free-silver men want the restoration of the system by which silver was coined as gold is now. The free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold was authorized by and practiced under the laws of ihe Unitea States from 1792 until the Sherman act was passed in Congress, by which silver was demonetized. Prior to that the sil- ver dollar was the standard of value of United States coinage....Bimetallism is that two met- als can and ought to be at the same ime and ‘n the same country adopted as standards ot value, to vear to sach other a fixed ratio estab- lished and recognized by the Government. ... Monometallism is the doctrine that only one metal ought to be used as the standard of value. As the United States recognizes gold as the only standard of value it is certainly monoc- metallic, notwithstanding that silver is in cir- culation and that it is legal tender in a certain amount. ILLITERATE PEOPLE—G. W. H., Livermore, Alameda County, Cal. The constitutional amendment relating to suffrage in tne State of California provides that “no person who shall not be able to Tead the constitution in the Eng- lish Ianguage or write his name shall ever exer- cise the privileges of an elector in this State, provided that the provisions of this amend- ment shall not apply 10 any person prevented by a physical dxsgfiilny from complying with 1ts requisitions nor to any person who now has the right to vote.” This section of the consti- tution is self-operating and officers are bound 1o take notice of ii. It is notretroactive, there- tore cannot apply to those illiterate voters who previous to the adoption of the amendment were entitled to vote, but it prevents the reg- istration of any illiterate individual who since the adoption of the amendment offers to claim the right of suifrage for the first time. WoMAN SUFFRAGE—OLd Subscriber, Campbell, Sonoma County, Cal. The States of Colorado and Wyoming at this time givo women unlim- ited suffrage; Delaware, Idaho, Indiana, Ken- tucky, Nebraske, New Jersey, North Dakota, Gregon, South Dakota, Texas end Washington give them limited suffrage; Florida, Illinels, Kansas, Massachusetts. Michigan, Minnesota, Montans, New Hampshire, Vermont and Wis consin allow women to voteat school elections, and Kansas allows them to vote at municipal elections. At the next qenenl election the voters of the State of California will have an oprortunity to determine if they will grant the right of suffrage to women, as they will then be called upon_to declare if 'the constitutional amendment granting women such right shail e adopted. A bill to allow women to vote was defested n the Senate at the last session of the Legislature, the House having voted in favor of it. TALKIN0 IN SLEEP—F. J., City. Talking in sleep is one of the results of nightmare. The activity of the cerebrum is such that the train of thought prompts to movement, and the sleeper may be heard muttering in his sleep, There is nothing wonderful about this. It is only necessary that there shonld be an unusual sensitiveness of the brain, or that a hearty supper, eaten late, should irritate the nerves of the stomach and that distressing thoughts should be dwelt upon during the day and evening to produce talking in sleep. As this condition is often caused by a weakened state of the nerves, much outdoor exercise should be taken, the diet should be simple and well reg- ulated, suppers should be light and never ken late, the evening should be spent in some pleasant amusement, which wi away care, and the last hours of wakefulness should be occupied with pleasant reflections.

Such an instrument may be revoked at any time aud the revoca- tion is vinding upon the agent as so0on asit is made, and “fmn hird parties, who have dealt with him relying upon the power, as soon as they receive notice of it. If a person who had acted as agent under a wer of attorney should, after his power had been revoked, ai- tempt to transfer property belunx{ni to one ‘whose power of attorney he had held, he would s00n find himself in very serious trouble, STEER’S HorNs—E. F. B., City.

There is nothing in the codes of California to prevent & husband from selling, for & valnable consideration, com- munity property without the wife’s signature being attached to the deed. Cautious buyers, however, as a rule insist that the wife,asa matter of precaution, shall sign the deed. A prominent attorney who has given a great deal of attention to the rights of women, that is their legal rights, says that the courts have not vet been called upon to determine whether an intending purchaser could be compelied to take a plece of property in acase where the wife would refuse to sign the deed. MARRIAGE—J. T., Arbuckle, Colusa County, Cal. Ifaman is divorced in a State that hasa law declaring that a divorcee shall not marry again within a year, goes to gnother State having a similar law, and should in violation of the Iaw in that State marry, to do which he would have to falsely declare that there was no obstacie to his marriage, such marriage would not be recognized as valid in theState in which it was performed, consequently it would not be recognized as valid in the State of California. HEAD AND TaIL—Subscriber, City. Numis- matists say that the side of a coin which bears the head or more important inscription or de- vice, is the obverse, or head, as it is commonly called, whiic the other side is the reverseor tail. 'The old-style nickel which hes the United Statesshield on one side and the figure 5on the other has puzzled many people who are unable to determine which is the obverse and the reverse. The obverse or head is the side that has upon it the shield. CONSECRATED GROTND—T. W. D., City.

The body of Collins, recently hanged 3t San Quentin, was taken fo San Kinel for burial, INCORRECT—Miss L, City. Itis not proper to say “I am going to go to Sacramento.”” In that sentence there is a repetition that is not neces- sary.

He Has Some Good Words for the New Law and Is In Favor of the New Commission. Registrar Hinten says that the rumors that he is to refuse to give up his office on the demand of the new Election Commis- sion, when they are anpointed, and make a contest, are premature. He does not know whether the duty of makinga con- test will devolve upon him or not, even it is made. As to the report that the Governor had asked him to hold on for a time, he said that he had had no official communication with the Governor and did not know his opinion as to the new law. When asked if he wouid refuse to give up the otfice on the demand of the new Election Commis- sion he said: Ican’t say as yet anything about it. I have no definite idea one way or the other. Ishall take the highest and best advice I can get and shall act uJ)oll that after fully considering what 18 my duty to the public in the matter. The making of a contest may not devolve on me at all. A majority of the members of the present commission, understand, do not believe that the law is constftutienal, and they may deem it their duty to make a contest. 1t must be apparent fo every ome that the uestion of the eonstitutionality of the law should be decided, and decided as s00n as pos- sible, in order to save a great deal of inconveni- enceto the public and to enable the prepara- tions for the coming elections to be made. Un- less the matter is finally settled soon a great deal of harm might be done. e members of the present commission, I believe, would be glad to get rid of the respon- sibility of this work. Itisnot lucrativestakes agreat deal of time and requires an immense amount of patienceand endurance. Certainly e ¥) @ of the new law is to them a great relief, and I do not wonder that they are anxious that it should fail. If only my personal interests were at stake I should certainly not enter into a contest, but 1f I think that it is my duty to do o to facili- tate preparations for the coming elections I shalldoso. Itis now time to begin prepara- tions for the next primary elections. There are many good features in the new law. Thatpartin regard to primary elections isthe beginningof a policy that I ope to see carried out, so that we may have honest rimaries, something I have not seen here in lorty years. I hail this as a step in the right direction, and hope that it will prove effective. The selection of the men from whom election officers are to be chosen is under the present system in the hands of men who have political interests at stake by which any but men of the strongest character are apt to be influenced. 1t is provided that these officers shall be on the lnslrldmsnt roll, but that rule is generally dis- regarded. board appointed by the Mayor and f from these rnflnenee- will be bzuer ’:dblol:; carry out the law without fearor favor. Then, 100, such a board would not be so apt to be in. fluenced to expend money extravagantly, and would be also very apt to conduot the election on business principles. The pros. ent election commission is not in an inde- penident position in this respect. PARADE ON THE FOURTH, Naval Officers In Full U niform WIill Appear in the Procession. MORE MONEY IS REQUIRED. For the General Celebration $800 More Is Needed and for the Arch $600. The signal for the start of the big pro- cession on the morning of the Fourth will be given from the cruiser Philadelphia, stationed in the harbor. At 10:30 o’clock one of the big guns will be fired. The re- port will probably be heard all over the City. The bugler at the head of the col- umn will sound the advance and the pro- cession will move. Everything is to be done on schedule time and there will be nona of the delays of former years. The first division of the parade will probably be the finest military pageant of regular troops of the United States that has ever been seen on this coast. There will be cavalry, infantry and light artillery from the various posts around the bay, and bluejackets and marines with their lignt rapid-fire guns from the white cruisers. The regular army band from the Presidio will march with the land troops and the enlisted musicians of the Philadelphia will accompany the naval detail. The landing of the marines and blue jackets at tne Ciay-street wharf will be a very interesting spectacle to people who have often wondered just how, in times of emergency. that duty is accomplished. The occasion affords’ an opportunity to display the efficiency and magnificent dls- cipline of the naval forces, and it will be utilized to the utmost. From the wharf the marines will be ese corted to their place in the procession by cavalry from the Presidio. They will be | commanded by R. R.Ingersoll, lieutenant commander and executive oflicer of the Philadelphia, who has specially desired the command because of the announce- ment that no National flag save that of the United States will be permitted in the parade. Admiral Bearasley and the entire official equipment of both the Olympia and the Philadelphia will show themselves in the parade in full uniform. They will ride in carriages, there being three carriages for the officers of each vessel. Grand Marshal Forster visited the Philadelphia yesterday morning and was most enthusiastically received. Grand Marshal Forster and Colonel Hunter will confer this morning concern- ing the minor details of the parade, and a meeting of marshals, aids, etc., will be | held on Tuesday evening to perfect the arrangements. General Warfield has not yet determined whether or not militia regiments from the interior will be ordered to this City for the parade. e expects to settle that qustion tu-morrow. The War Department has telegraphea rermiasion to make use of the muskets in he Benicia arsenal for the Continental army. In the procession there will be at least cighteen bands. Ten of these have been engaged by the committee, and the others Vil e g ye arading organizations. The band auaehex to the Japanese mili- tary company will be in line, though the company will not tarn out. There will be the refiular army band from the Presidio and the naval musicians from the Phila- delphia. One band will be uniformed in Continental style and anether will accom- pany the Veteran Firemen. The location originally selected for the grand stands on Vin Ness avenue has been changed and the reviewing officer and his aids will be placed in the intersection of Fulton street instead of Golden Gate avenue. The change in location was rendered necessary by the presence of trees at the first spot chosen, which interfered with the erection of the stands. In the review a novel feature is pro- posed. When the regular army color guard which leads the column reaches the reviewing stand it will wheel out of line and take up position near the grand marshal. Every officer who passes the stand must salute the flag and each band as it passes will render homage by strikin up the air of “Three Cheers for the Red, White and Blue.” Last evening the executive committee met to discuss finance. It was found that $900 is needed to complete the work, ex- clusive of the arch on Market street. For the arch the decoration committee has nearly $1000 available, including $200 promised by the brewers. The balance needed 1§ The executive committee approved the rografime of exercises submitted by the iterary committee, making only one change. This was unimportant, it being to give the poet of the day an earlier posi- tion than had been assigned him For the children more gum and cookies have been donated. The Tutti Frutti Company gives 2000 pieces of gum, and the American Biscult Company donates 5000 cookies. Three benevolent gentlemen have further provided for their entertainment by securing the services of the boatman on the park canal for the afternoon. This will afford 1500 little ones a boat ride. The executive committee will meet to- morrow at 3 o'clock. Custom-house Changes. Dan 0'Leary, who has béen for several yea r at the head of the Chinese Burean was yester- day eppointed captain of the Custom-house Inspectorson the Maildock, vice Captain Grant, who will take a well-earned and easier position in the Surveyor's department. O'Leary and Grant are two of the best men on Survesor English’s staff and their promotion, if it may 80 be termed, is well deserved. Maria Ernondas in Good Care. Maria Ernondas, the little Mexican girl whose story has been told in the CALL, has Dbeen removed to the home of Mrs, Annie E. Dooly Szanik, 808 Bush street, and is in the care of the District Nurses' Association. Re- lisble physicians say there is hope of her re- covery. e e The Bicycle and Woman’s Zeal. There was a good deal of pith to Mrs. Stanton’s remark in reply to Bishop Doane that ‘‘women are riding to suffrage on the bicycle. They may not be riding to suf- frage, but they are riding everywhere and everywhither they want to go. Certainly and conspicuously they are riding into any sort of costume it snits them fo put on. Bloomers are getting so common that it seems possible that the untutored eye will presently dwell upon them with- out a shock. The more circumspect American ladies still keep out of them, and may never come to prefer them to skirts, but the young and giddy experiment with them preity freely. Was there ever anything so efficacious to give women an idea of what she could do if she tried as the bicycle? Soberly speak- inf if she had to ¢hoose between the ballot and the bicycle as a means of de- velopment and advancement, she might better cleave to the bike. It is worth more to her than the ballot. It is more fan, more use, less trouble and very much less costly. ‘There was pith in “what Miss Stanton said, but is there not some sub- stance in the suggestion that the bicycle has brought woman so many new oppor- tunities and privileges that she never needed or wanted the suffrage so little as now.—Harper's Weekly. ————————— Dr. Klein, F.R.S., lecturer on general mnbomfinnd physiology at 8t. Bartholo- mew’s Hos; lm,{nndon, delivered a lec- ture on cholera recently, in which he saia that the prevention of cholera was beset with less difficulty than that of some of the communicable diseases which in town they had almost constantly among them.
