THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, AUGUST 16, 1895. LINES OF THE CAMPAIGH, Senator Jones of Nevada Pre- sents the Silver Ques- tion to Date. AMERICA'S GREATEST ISSUE. He Says Republicans WIll Straddle It and Democracy Probably Quarrel. “‘The silver question at the present da: said Senator John P. Jones of Nevada yes- terday, “is almost equal in importance to the late Civil War, and the entire country is experiencing an awakenmg. A large | p\‘mber of people in- America believe it is not only necessary to have pol independence but financial and industrial independence also. Political independence means nothing so far as its real value goes and is merely a personal enjoyment. In- dustrial and financial independence means thing to everybody Intil it comes we will feel the depres- and the contraction of the currency Mark the conditions that now ex | | | rate of 3000 a day, and the money i mn~‘ E tly ;:rnwiu{-r' less.

The law ys that-all men shall be equal.- It ‘does t say. that they shall be the same in heighit or “color; or size or weight, -but merely that they shall be equal in'the eyes of thelaw as-men. Tt is the same with It .should have the same debt- aying power time as at another..

At pres- entsilveris a commodity-and is but one want. Stamp it'and'it is all wants. When stamped it purchases all things, secures everything for sale; everything for hire. Is it a good argument to compare one want with the value of a thing thatrepresents all wants? Take a commodity, stamp it and make it a purchaser of all wants and at once” everybody wants it. There is a howl for-more gold, but there is not nearly enough increase in the production of gold, when counted up for a long time, to com- pensate for the destruction of so much of will unduly inflate the money volume. This argument, together with a thousand jpthers e\}\mhy strong, has been put to the people for the last fifteen years, and it seems as though at this coming election they will take some steps to protect them- selves from the broken promises of the two old parties. It is merely a question of jus- tice. The unrestricted coinage of siiver will start a revival of the languishing in- dustries along the line of march, and will sweep across the country. like a tidal wave of prosperity. ‘‘At the presenttime the people are poor, and they will remain so until they de- mand and secure free coinage. Those who have tried to lay -the case clearly ana strongly before the voters have had the Fleua‘urc of seeing a great deal of approval rom the people of late, and in Btates where there were few silver men in the past they are now beginning to rise up and fight for it. In the South we are con- stantly finding new champions, and it will be evident next fall, if it is not so now, that the- silverites are moving on the gold fort, and will get what is due them even in the face of the moneyed opposition.” _“What are the purposes of the. Silver Knights?’ *To stand back of the silver cause and fl_d\'zmce it with capital and . influence. There are a great many of them in the East. Ihave been away from there :so long, however, that I am not very familiar now with their movements, but they are men of intelligence and above all things they throughly understand the benefits of free coinage to the country. - 'Whenever a map is set right on the silver question and the quantitive theory he-becomes one of its stanchest supporters. ‘The great diffi- culty has been in the past that it- was but half understood. This year, however, it has been the chief topic ‘of discussion among political circles and the far-sighted pe been President of this country for the last three years just how important it is will be in the future.” FOUND A DROWNED MAK Some Mystery Evidently - In- volved in the ldentity. of the Body. Dufresne. an Old His Name Was Frank Papers -Alluding " to Man’s Will. The body of a man was discovered by Tames Madden of 12034 Twenty-first street, yesterday afternoon,on the rocks under | the wharf at the foot of King street. A search of his effects at- the Morgue revealed his presumable.identity as Jean Marie Frank Dufresne. He.was dressed like a laboring man. - Evidently. he had been in-the water for some time, and was left on the rocks when the tide went out. Papers were found in his pockets which would indicate that he keeping a sort of diary a year ago, in his efforts to show that he was innocent of certain accusa- tions made against him of the abstraction of some valuable documents. They were written in both English and French, dated most] August, 1894, addressed to nobody in particular, and signed simply, “Frank Dufresne.”” He had used sheets of letter-paper, giving each one a special date, and attaching his signature to each. This was the story gathered irom them: An old man named Jean d’Arman de Bermede died August 8, Previous to his death one De Lille persuaded Du- fresne to write out a will for De Bermede, which the latter, however, refused to sign. Efforts were made by De Lille to get this document from Dufresne, but he did not have it in his possession. After De Ber- mede’s death he found the will on the old man's bed and turned it over to President EdwardJ. Le Breton of the French Savings and Loan Society. Thisdocument, accord- ing to Dufresne, concerned some loan of $3000 made to De Lille on a house on Val- lejo street. n this diary Dufresne frequently re- peated this story in one form or another and now and then would interpolate, “This is the truth, the whole truth and | notiing but the truth.” He also expressed a h that his wife could testify for him, which would lead to the conjecture that he might have been anticipating some trouble as the result of the charges madeagainst him. On a piece of manilla paper the address 721 California” had been written, and his | haturalization papers showed that he had been admitted to citizenship in this City in May, 1878. There was an addition to his . diary, dated August 11, this year, in which he says he was working for a saloon- keeper, or restaurateur, whom he calls “Pon.” He also had a_letter on him written in French, dated New York, September 4, 1894, from Mme. Amelie Tranter of 273 Eighth avenue, an operatic florist in that city, and addressed to Mme. Celestine Gregel of 736 Pacific avenue, this City. There was a receipt of an old date, too, for $4 be had paid to Mrs. B. Kramer. It was apparently a case of suicide, OLYMPIC CLUB WHEELMEN., Entries and Handicaps Are Made for the Five-Mile Road Race Sunday. The entries for the Olympic Club wheel- men’s five-mile road race next Sunday from San Mateo to San Carlos closed last the money as was represented by silver when there was a concurrent use of silver and gold. 1tis alsoa fact that there must be 8 continuous fall in prices without any limit whatever because of the insufficiency of the gold supgly of the world.” “How will the Republican party stand on_ the question of free coinage?” was asked the Senator? “Why they will straddle it, of course, and attempt to please us with words. We will not be pleased with results, however. In the Democratic party there will be a terrible fight, as the leading Democrats of the L‘m(efi States are leaning very strongly toward the silver arguments that are now being used in favor of it. A terrific politi- cal war is_ approaching, and the battle ground will°be in a silver camp. It is there that the struggle began, and until justice is done the laboring classes there will ‘be sothe lively fighting for rights. “I have always claimed that the world and particularly the United States, would be in a state of disruption until the people were accorded justice, not only on the money question, but on all others. It is the only way to straighten out national difficulties and threatened disasters. The best way to bring this about is to give a!nroper circulating medium, and plenty of it. “While the silver question is an ex- haustive one and canpot be discussed in detail in-a short-time it nevertheless re- mains that its great principles and the frtat good of free coinage summed up in a ew words simply mean increased pros- fierity all over the country and a boom in usiness channels that would make us the most prosperous Nation under. the sun. “We are constantly informed that the silver dollar is worth but 50 cents. Should you melt down a dollar its monetary value is gone and it then becomes a simple piece of silver without the stamp of the Govern- ment; but you give us free coinage, so that every 412)4 grains of silver when stamped becomes worth a dollar, the-bullion in its crude state will be’ worth a dollar, and there will be an immediate demand for it. It is just the same as money and in conse- quence there would be a general reaching out for it, whereas now its value is gov- erned by the demand created in the arts. ‘We would be able to drive Western Europe to bimetallism or destruction. We have a population of seventy millions waiting for some satisfactory settlement of the money question, and billions of products are ready to be exchn%ed for silver or gold. *‘At best the product of silver, like any other natural product, among the precious metals, is limited, and it will never be pro- duced In such enormous quantities that it ~ night, and the list is one of the longest of any road race ever held in California by one club, containing thirty-five names.

C0-OPERATIVE LABOR. New Articles of Incorporation Filed by G. W. Wilderman and His Associates, G.W. Wilderman, the promoter of the World’s Christian Co-operative Society, was in high spirits last eveming, for he thinks the hope of years is within his grasp. He says his long-cherished plan of a co-operative labor system will be in operation in a short time. “Next week our directors will meet to consider such details as location and fur- nishings,” he said, “and I am in communi- cation with a firm in regard to some ma- chinery we shall need inone of the first establishments we shall open.” Articles of incorporation were filed by the society for the second time yesterday. The original - filing was made June 2, but since that time some of the non-resident directors who are stiil subscribers re- signed, because they. were not able to at- tend the meetings as often as the circum- stances required. The vacancies have been filled, and the number of directors in- creased from nine to eleven, and are: G. W. Wilderman, D. McRae, Thomas J. Weaver, J. Knudsen, Lewis W. Spencer, EDWARD LANIGAN. [From a phatograph.] nor was any such letter written by any ] other person for me at my instance or re- uest. | @The last communication I_have at-| tempted to have with Governor Budd took | place on the 10th inst., and that wasin the nature of a telegram, which was_ex- | pressed in the following words: ‘You solemnly promised me that H. C. Dayis would be appointed Health Inspector. He was not appointed.” | “I did not send that message until I had | consulted with my own friends and with | friends of Governor Budd, some of whom | are reputed to stand very near to him. | “They sanctioned my action in sending | that message, for it had been stated | through the public press that the Gov- | ernor was on the high way to recoyery and | was entirely out of danger. { “I submit that if there be any cause for | fault-finding the blame must rest else. where then with me. In season and ou of season, ever since the calling of the late | Democratic State convention and the men- | tion of Jim Budd’s name for Governor, I | have worked in his interests, as 1 believed that line to be in the interests of the Dem- ocratic party of this State, of which I have | been an active member for more than thirty years. “The Forty-first District of this City gave Governor Budd eight votes in the convention, when eight votes meant polit- ical preferment to him. “I worked unremittingly for his election and received promises from him which have not as yet been fulfilled, and evi ently, if Mr. Colnon has a tithe of the in- fluence which his harsh, cruel and totally unwarranted criticism—or rather denun- ciation—of me would indicate, they never will be. “My telegram was sent because I saw the name of Benjamin Davis mentioned in the public prints as an aspirant for an ap- pointment, and I thought that possibry the Governor might confound that Davis with my friend, H. C. Davis. “Any one who knows me knows that there could not be one word of truth in the story as published.” The Federal official who is said to have written to the Governor denies the story, but admits hnvinlg written to Mr. Budd’s mother. He explained the case to her and said not to say anything about the matter if the Governor was reallv ill. A letter from the lady in reply received to-day ex- | plains why it was impossible to make the | appointment asked for and promised to Mr. Lanigan. The letter was written to Mre. Budd without Lanigan’s knowledge and was solely in the interests of tge party. PRESS CLUB OFFICERS. The Ticket as It Will Be Voted on at the End of This Month. The Press Club met last evening to com- plete the nominations for the election, which will be held on the last Thursday of this month. As it now stands the ticket is as follows: For president, C. M. Coe and Fremont Older; for first vice-president, John Fin- lay; for second vice-president, James P. Booth; for third vice-president, John P. Dunning; for financial secretary, J. C. Donald; for recording secretary, Fred 'S. Myrtle and W. C. Bunner; for librarian, Thomas F. Prendergast and Charles Ul- rich; for directors (six to be elected), Charles A. Lee, P. 8. Montague, Pau Cowles, Charles A. Low, H. L. Brooke, E. D. Demont, 8. H. Friedlander, C. J. Still: well and W. 8. Dreypolcher. The election will be held on the last Thursday of August, and the successful candidates'will be installed at the annual meeting on the first Thursday in Septem- ber. The question of incorporating the club will also come up for action at that time, as the meeting of last evening was too small to properly dispose of the ques- tion. EaS R Ca Church Improvement. N.

WORKING FOR THE FETE Sausalito Citizens Are Earnest for the “Night in Venice.” in B. Stetson Says Encouraging Words and Gives a Pointer to Transportation Companles. J. . There is no more imposing point in all the grand circle of towns and resorts on the bay for an exhibition of “A Night in Naples” than Sausalito. From the steam- ers anchored outside of the line of parade or from the verandas of the residences and hotels the visitors can lose nothing of the grand sight the projectors of the fete pro- pose to prepare. The nineteen gentlemen who called the meeting for next Saturday afternoon have taken great interest in the project, which was first suggested by J. B. Stetson, and they will labor with zeal to carry the pro- ject to completion. The general plan of the exhibition has been thoroughly con- sidered by the persons interested and the organization meeting. on Satuglay will have only the work of appointing the working committees, who arrange the definite plans. _It has been casually suggested that the time shall be early in October. ‘The matter of time was considered in an informal way yesterday, and the prevailing opinion was that October 9 or 10 would be suitable, cwin§ to the fact that the moon is sched- uled to behave in a very exemplary man- ner about that time. _ J. B. Stetson in speaking of the pros- pective carnival said yesterday: 1 am glad the initiative step has been taken in the matier by the holdingofa preliminary meet- ing. ‘The way to begin is to get to work. There should be & I attendance at the meeting on Saturday. ‘e can make a handsome ex- hibition, for Sausalito can be decorated and il- luminated to advantage, and with the parade on the water and the fireworks and the sudden bursting forth of the voleanie display at a specified time, the sight Will be grand and startling.

It is prac- tically on the water will accommodate 100 musicians. H We should arrange for the-anchoring of the - visiting boats at a point where the passen; Wwho do not care to goashore may see the whole show, and there is plenty of room for that plan.

PEANUTS FED TO THE HOGS. Some Crops Are Certain in Tulare County, While Others Are Fallures. Tothe Editor of the Call—S1r: The criticism on my article upon “Diversified Farming’’ in theWeEKLY CALL, published in the DAILY of July 13, over the signature of Dr. J. R. Simms of Milton, deserves a reply, but as the doctor has undertaken to show the public through the columns of your widely circulating journal wherein I err, permit me to say to the doctor that hisarticle evidences a very slight knowledge of the conditions that prevail in this big San Joaquin Valley, and particularly Tulare County. The doctor supposes “the twenty-acre farmer puts out two to four acres in almonds.”” There are several orchards of almond trees in this part of the big valley. Some of them are ten years old, and there has been but one crop ever gathered from any of them, which was in 1893, and at that time there was protective tariff enough on this nut to justify further efforts in almond culture. "Since then the new tariff has about killed this industry in our State, even if the trees were a sure bearer and there were no flocks of migratory birds to eat the buds during the winter. “One to two acres to apricots.”” This is another uncertain crop in this valley. About every otber year one gets a crop of *‘cots.”” T have seen it occur when it was three years apart between crops. “One acre to nectarines.” Doctor Simms is right about nectarines and would have made it better to have said two or three acres of peaches. Nowhere in this big world do peaches and nectarines grow any better or are a surer crop than in the southern part of the San Joaquin Valley, and generally they yield the grower—if he understands his business—about one hun- dred dollars per acre, but this is from land suitable and adapted for this culture. The doctor says to put in three or four acres of alfalfa. If your twenty acres were land that would grow peaches successfully it wonld be a bad idea to grow alfalfa, or if the land would grow prunes as they do on our lands adapted to them in Tulare County then indeed would a twenty-acre man be foolish to carry out the doctor’s idea about alfalfa, “horses, cows and pigs.” He wants to let the other fellow keep such domestic animals and plant the whole twenty acres in prunes. The net yield on one such place of a bachelor friend of mine was §4546 last vear, produced from trees five years old this last winter. The doctor says to raise peanuts, beans, pomegranates, etc., between the trees for an income. The writer raised 1100 sacks of peanuts just that way one year, and the Southern Pacific Railroad made freight rates to San Francisco so high that I fed them to hogs. I raised 1200 sacks of beans between the tree rows three years ago, and still have beans on hand. I raised pomegranates as big as cocoanuts, and I could only get people to look at them. I raised water- melons, and my returns on eleven carloads after paying freight and commissions in San Francisco, I had just $9 50 left. I raised potatoeson forty acres, between the rows of trees, two years ago—two crops in one year; first crop I couldn’t sell or ship; offered them at two bits per sack, and the second crop was peddled out by a good deal of labor, but they didn’t pay. Peaches, nectarines, prunes, oranges and femons do pay in this part of’ the big val- ley. They pay the grower big money pro- and knows how to grow fruit, but the littie twenty-acre farm, eut up into such things as suggested by Dx. Simms, won’t make a living for a man and his family down here in Tulare County ; but twenty acres in solid prunes, or diversify his deciduous fruits, and that small farm will make him a good deal more than a living. Our lands are singularly productive. The tree growth is wonderful. Tulare County captured the first prize at the State Fair last year. The lands about Tulare Lake can be had for $5 to $10 peracre, and alfalfa grows splen- didly there, but fruit won't. All these food products that the docjor mentions, and many more, will grow’ in our fruit lands, but it pays better to grow fruit. The colonies the doctor supposes to be in oper- ation. We have had several of them started down here, and now they do not exist. Major C. J. BERRY. Visalia, Tulare County, August 7, 1895. RAILWAY UP TAMALPAIS. The High Summit to Be Reached by a Precipitous Scenic Road. A scenic railway is to be built from Mill Valley station on the North Pacific Coast Railway to the summit of Tamalpais. It has been surveyed along the picturesque spurs and turnings of the mountain and up over precipitous grades to give passen- gers the best that can be afforded in views of bay and land with the added sensation of shooting up, or down, a precipice. The comfort of visitors to the high peak isnot to be forgotten, for there will be a commodious hotel and a resort near the top where excursionists may enjoy them- selves after a variety of ways. In summer time they ean spend the day in strolling round the two peaks and viewing the panoramas presented on all sides, whilé in the storms of winter many people are ex- pected to visit the resort for the novelty of viewing Tamalpais amid the clouds and: nature in her wildest moods nearly 3000 feet above the level of the sea. The project of building the railway up the mountain has been taken up by J. B. Stetson and other gentlemen interested in the narrow-gauge line from BSausalito. Surveys have been made under their direc- tion and estimates placing the cost at less than $250,000 completed. Rights of way have been secured and everything is ready for commencing construction, which, how- ever, will not be started until after the coming winter. The valley terminus of the road will be near Mill Valley station, whence the line wiil rise on grades, in com- parison with which California or Washing- ton-street hills would seem almost level It will be necessary to have cogwheels on the ears and locomotives and rack rails to insure absolute safety. The hotel will cost about $25,000. It will L designed for the comfort of guests and viding he has the right kind of lan i 1 to accommodate fifty persons.

A Convicted Lottery Ticket BSeller Brings Charges Against the Officer Who Arrested Him. John H. Cooper, a convicted dealer in lottery tickets, makes a remarkable attempt to even accounts with the police- man who arrested him, and has filed a set of charges with the Board of Police Com- missioners alleging ill treatment, etec. The history of this little case is interesting | purity the from most any standpoint. On the night of July 12 Officer John Porter arrested Cooper with two $1 and twenty-four 25-cent Little Louisiana Lot- clothes, succeeded in catching the ticket- seller by pretending to purchase. It was after 11 o’clock in the’ evening, and Cooper refusing to close the store, left another person in charge. The officer took him to the police station ina car, where the prisoner procured bail and was xeleased soon after. He was convicted in Judge Low’s court, gleading guilty, and in consideration of is plea of goverty and being a cripple, and_upon_the recommendation of the ar- resting officer, was- released with a $5 fine and a judicial lecture. He left the courtroom well satisfied with his escape, but afterward concluded that he was justified in attacking the patrol- man who was endeavoring to.uphold the law. He was almost a month formulating charges, and when they were put in writing they were calculated to intimidate any policeman who has the remotest idea of interfering with the lottery traffic. The investigation is set for next Wednes- day evening, when Lottery Ticket-seller Cooper will be present with counsel and witnesses to play even on the patrolman who caught him at his lawless practices. THE INTERCLUB REGATTA Perfecting Arrangements for the Great Midsummer Yacht Race. Seawanhaka Corinthian Rules Will Govern the Contest—Detalls of the Course. The committee of representatives of recognized yacht clubs appointed to ar- range for the first midsummer interclub regatta has got its work well under way, and circular 1, giving many particulars of the race, has been issued. Sunday, the 25th inst., has been selected as the date for the contest, and entries will close on Tuesday next.

Yachts must be sailed by members of the club iu which they are enrolled, and no professional, other than the regularly em- ploved boatkeeper of any vacht, shall be allowed on board during the race. With first-class schooners, however, professional crews may be carried, but the helmsman must be an amateur and a member of the club. The recognized clubs are the San Fran- cisco, Pacific, Corinthian, Encinal and California, and each one will be assessed $60 to defray the expenses of the regatta. The following officers for the regatta haye been chosen: Treasurer, Charles W. Platt; judges—Charles G. Yale, Charles W. Platt, f{ andesberger and Alex B.

It was much nearer to go through the mountains on a cayuse than around by Daven- port on the stage. I started quite early one morning, and _was riding along up the BSpokane River when, as I came over a small rocky. point, I noticed a very large bird soar down from a tree and carry something in its mouth. At first I thought it was an eagle, but as soon as I climbed a little higher I could see it was an old gray goose, and that it bhad deposited its burden in the water, where could see several small ones swimming around, says a writer in Forest and Stream. 1 stopped, got off from my cayuse and watched the performance. I had waited but a few moments when one of the geese rose out of the water and flew straight to a cottonwood tree, alighted on a limb near a big nest, then took a few steps toward the nest and reaching over into_the nest took a young gosling out and sailed down to her companions. When she let the youngster-touch the water it cut all kinds of capers. She again returned to the nest and got another, which was the last. After watch- ing them for quite a while I mounted my cayuse and rode on. When I came into plain view of the family the old ones flut- tered away and the youngsters disappeared. There were seven little ones, as near as I couid count. I have watched the wood duck carry her young from a tree, but this was the only time I ever saw a goose make the transfer.
