If any man in business attempted to run his iness as does our treasury, he would soon be bankrupt. 1 don’t think we will ever reform our money system until we put a man in the President’s chair who will look out for the interest of the masses instead of the creditor portion only of our nation. 1 denounce as infamous the doctrine that the banker is the only one quelified to pass on the money question. T have tound that some of the bankers in the West are not in favor of bimetallism. I found one who wasairaid to come out for bimetallism because he was afraid that to do so would in- | jure his eredit in the East. The Western banker | has every reason to be in favor of bimetal- | lism, because he makes his loans on the paper | of the producer and not on Government prom- | ises of redemptions, as does the Eastern | banker. The trouble is not a lack of confidence, but the lack of confidence in the property upon which a loan is sought to be made.

He closed his eloquent address by ex- horting the advocates of silver in all Na- | tional parties to vote only for a Presidential candidate who is pledged to the principles of the Bimetallic League. All other mat- ters should be made secondary, and mere party loyalty should be abjured. This, he concluded, was the only safe road to| victory—to combine the strength of the | bimetallists on a single candidate or force | one of the great parties to nominate a silver man, How well sustained was the power of the great silver orator was shown by the fact | that not a single person left the hall until he had uttered his last word. 5 Before the audience dispersed Chairman | N ommost bimetaliio advocnie | Baker announced that on Wednesday ex-Congressman W.

PRACTICAL PROGRESSION, The Union Likely to Take Charge of the Old French Hospital Charity. The charitable institution occupying the old French Hospital on Bryant street, and which owes its beginning to Mrs. J. Neil- son, is likely to pass under the control of the Union of Practical Progress. John M. Reynolds, president of the union, visited the place a few days ago and was so much impressed by the efficacy of the work as well as by its possible scope coined as it Is with the stamp of the Govern- ment on it? Because the law says that the gold | in weight is worth the same as when the stamp of the doilar—five, ten or twenty—is placed on | it. If the law was the same with regard to silver the lattér metal, instead of being worth only half the goid doflar, would be worth as much as the whole of it, and then the silver prodnet of the country would be protected and the money standard would be equalized. We demand that the gold and silver of the country be treated the same. That is all the bi- | metallists demand. Let the metals stand on 8n equal basis. We are not for the free coinage of silver be- cause the miners of silver will be benefited, but because we all of us will be benefited. We want an honest dollar.

The deficit has been met by the hard earnings of Mr. and Mrs. Neilson. RED LIGHTS ON THE RALL Danger Signals Ahead of the Local Railway Agents’ Association. Rumors of Cut Rates and Commis- slons That Vex‘the Souls of All the Virtuous. The local association of railway ticket agents, formed largely for mutual agree- ment and admiration, is again in distress. There are danger signals on its track, and a smash-up is looked for any day. It’s the same old grievance—paying com- missions. The awkward thing about it now is that with the association formed purposely to break up commission paying the practice continues to flourish like a whole grove of green bay trees. In other words while every agent is taxed to sup- port the association somebody continues to draw down commissions and draw in business as serenely as a third-house legis- lator. There was fiery oratory and much of it at a special meeting of the association in the rooms of the Mills building yesterdaY. Chauncey Depew McCall was there, while Cicero Sanborn, Daniel Webster Hitch- cock and Demosthenes Canfield added sprit to the occasion. Connor of the Oregon Railway and Navi- gation Company, who has worn the asso- ciation tiara for the past two months, pre- sided with his usual Berkeley dignity, while Factotum Smith acted as minute- | clerk and lord high prosecutor. The special object of the meeting was to consider charges brought against Mr. Ca- pelle of the North German%‘lo d Steam- ship Company. His heinous offense, ac- cording to the bundle of affidavits held by | Mr. Smith, was chopping $15 off the $67 50 second-class rate to New York. As Mr. Capelle does most of his business with the Union Pacific office, Mr. Hitchcock of that | [ine was assumed to be a shipmate in Mr. Capelle’s boat. he enormity of the offense consisted, in the minds of some of the agents, in the size of the commission Mr. Capelle was ac- cused of paying, rather than simple trans- gression of the compact. Mr. Capelle did not admit the charge, nor did he deny i, officially, because he did not have oppor- tunity. The secretary explained that things were not in groper shape to proceed with the trial, and he asked for further time in which to dig up evidence. There was a flood of oratory at this, but it was finally agreed to, and the present under- standing is that next Tuesday the perform- ance will go on or else money will be re- funded. Agent Stern ot the Canadian Pacific was appointed a committee of one to prey on | the sensibilities of all steamship men in general, and Mr. Fugaziof the French line steamers in particular. Mr. Stern’s pleas- ant duty is to convince Fugazi that paying a $14 commission on a $67 ticket is not only a mysterious but very nearly a sinful proceeding. If the steamship men persist in the evil of their ways they will be asked to tell how they are able to do it. As nearly as the agents not in the com- bine are able to figure it, the steamshi men have only a $12 margin to go on legiti- mately. There’s one line between here and Chicago that pays a $5 commission; one between Chicago and New York that pays an equal amount, and each steamshi company pays $2. If an agent is foolisl enough to forfeit all this profit for the sake of getting business nothing can be done, but to go beyond this $12 fizure, and to apparently pay cash for trade suggests to the average agent the need of rest at Agnews. Although the charges involving Mr. Ca- pelle are not proved, just the rumor of them, as well asa few similar tales that bave their rise and fall on Montgomery street, near Sutter, have made all agents restless. A half dozen had nice type- written notices of withdrawal all ready in their pockets at the meeting to-day. A notice of withdrawal means secession and war. If one goes a dozen will, and then the much nourished association will col- lapse like a fireworks balloon. It has now been running about six months, wkich isa reasonably long life. If war comes it will not mean very much to the general public, except that until the association is again organized a prospective traveler can ‘‘go shopping” for overland tickets much more successfully than he can at present. RACING AGAIN TO-DAY. Opening Day of the California Jockey Club’s Fall Meeting. After a cessation of three weeks racing will again be resumed at che Bay District track to-day. The California Jockey Club offers racegoers a fine programme of run- ning events for the inaugural day of its fall meeting. While still too early in the season for the Eastern racers the better class of horses guartered at the track have been entered in the different races on the card. Libertine and the balanceof J. G.

GREATGUN ONTHE BLUFF, Twelve-Inch Army Rifle Fired for the First Time on This Coast. A DEEP, PROLONGED ROAR. The Thousand - Pound Projectlle Made a Beautiful Ricochet on the Ocean. On the bluff above Fort Point yesterday the new 12-inch rifled breech-loading army gun was fired for the first time on the Pacific Coast. A distinguished company of military men and quite a bevy of the ladies of the post assembled to observe the test. Among the officers attending were: Colonel George H. Mendell, chief of en- gineers on the Pacific; General William M. Graham, General S8amuel B. M. Young, Presidio; Colonel Lawrence 8. Babbitt and Lieutenant O. M. Lissak, Benicia Arsenal; Lieutenant Joseph E. Kuhn, Engineers; Lieutenant J. Franklin Bell, A. D. C. staff of General James W. For- syth; Captain Roberts, Fifth Artillery; Captain O'Connell, First Infantry; Captain Crabb, Fifth Artillery; Lieutenant Landis, First Cavalry; Lieutenant Potter, Engi- neers; and many others of the Fifth Artillery, First Infantry and Fourth Caval Coniressmun Samuel G. Hil- born of the Oakland District and Captain Turner, Cqmpnny D of the Naval Reserve, were also interested spectators. The experimental firing was under the general direction of Colonel Babbitt of the ordnance department, Benicia, but was im- mediately supervised i)y Lieutenant Lissak. The purpose was to test the explosive force of Santa Cruz_powder and ten shots were to have been fired, but only two were discharged. In order to measure the initial velocity of the projectile, one upright wire screen was placed on the line of fire 125 feet dis- tant from the muzzle of the gun, and 125 feet further along another screen was placed. An electrical apparatus connected the wires of each screen with a chrono- | graph, and a magnet was to register the time wnen the projectile hit the first screen, and also the time when it hit the | second. The registration was not effected | as the blast from the muzzle of the great | gun knocked down the first screen before | the flight of the projectile bezan. For the first test the muzzle of the can- non was elevated two degrees,and the shot aimed to strike the bluff at Lime | Point on the Marin shore at a spot some | 400 yards west of the fog signal station. The solid elongated projectile, weighing 000 pounds, was propelled by the com- | bustion of 400 pounds of brown prismatic powder. ‘When evervthing was ready the officer in charge, Lieutenant Lissak, motioned for the group of spectators to move back 100 feet or so. The report of the explosion was a deep and pmlong}ed roar rather than a sharp and powerful detonation. The concussion where the spectators stood was not at all great, but the boards of a shed fifty feet at right angles from the muzzle were torn away, and the door of the maga- zine was wrenched. When the gun isin position, pointing directly across the channel, the muzzle does not extend be- yond the parapet line, hence the terrible concussion at the magazine door. The noise of the glreat projectile rushin, through the air coula be distinctly heard, and after the lapse of a few secondsa cloud of dust at the foot of the Lime Point bluff indicated where the shot struck. The officers in charge of the firing ex- amined the recoil register and found that the strain on the gun carriage apparatus was not perceptible. A leaking of neutral oil was found in the cylinders where the liquid is placed as a rebound cushion. This leakage wasdue to imperfect packin and it will be necessary to draw off the oi before proper repacking can be effected. At the suggestion of Colonel Mendell the gun was swung around so that the muzzle pointed seaward when the second test was made. The piece was then depressed five degrees 10 test the strength of the bolts and the stability of the platform. The charge of powder was increased to 425 pounds. At the signal the gun was fired. Before the reverberation of the tremen- dous roar subsided the massive projectile struck the water 500 yards from shore, throwing a column like a beautiful geyser to the height of 100 feet. A few seconds later the projectile in aricochet struck the ocean on a true line 2000 yards further out. Close examinaticn of the platform and | carriage indicated that everything stood firmly in place. The recoil force touched the bumpers, passing the 48-inch mark of the first shot. The tests will be concluded, going up to the maximum charge of 480 pounds, when the cushion cylinders have been repacked. At the next test a further depression of two degrees will be made, and then the gun will be elevated for a long-distance shot out to sea. The gun is 35 feet 6 inches in length and weighs 52 tons. CROSS-CONTINENT SPEED, The Santa Fe Will Soon Put On a Three-Day Flier From Chicago. Bidding for Winter Tourist Travel Which Promises Well for the Public. Those arch rivals in California’s railway field, the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe, propose to have a bout this season for the winter tourist traffic. The first sign of the fight that is on came out yesterday when it was announced from the local Santa Fe office that fast overland trains will be put on about November 1. At present trains on the S8anta Fe system run between Chicago and Los Angeles in three and a half days. After November 1 the time will be cut to three days, and three and a half days between Chicago and San Francisco. More than thie, the time of departure from Chicago will be made so that a trav- eler may leave New York by the “limited’” over the New York Central and the Michi- gan Central at4:30 p. M. any day; may ar- rive at Chicaeo, as at present, at 4:30 p. M. the next day; may connect at 6 p. M. with the Santa Fe “limited” and be in Los An- elei at 6 p. M. of the fourth day from New ork. _The time now_by the central overland lines is three and a half days between San Francisco and Chicago and four and a half days, San Francisco to New York. The Santa Fe managers plan to offer the same time. But the cnief object of the new schedule is to scoop in the winter-tourist trafiic to Southern California. From all indications, this promises to be alarge business the coming season. As- sistant General Pasggnger Agent Speers of the Santa Fe, whols just back from Los Angeles, says everybody down there is looking for a large crop this season in this very profitable climatic product. The burning of the Raymond Hotel has not discouraged that tourist company. They have arranged with the Hotel Green in Pasadena and the new BSan Marcos at Santa Barbara, and plan to rush about 4000 people out of frost-bitten New England. The proposed Santa Fe flyer will run once a each way between Chicago and Los Angeles. The westbound San Fran- cisco travel will be switched at Barstow as WOMEN MUST SLEEP. Value of Paine’s Celery Compound to the Sick and Nervous. The burdens of lite are not equa.«y porne by men and women. ‘Women too often suffer from some weak- ness that was never intended for them by nature. When trouble or hard work or excite- ment have rendered the nervous system so morbidly wide-awake that sleep is de- nied, the over-tired brain must be helped to get quickly back to its healthy normal condition or serious mischief ensues. Paine’s celery compound accomplishes this as nothing else has ever done. It at once begins to regulate and equal- ize the over-wrought nerves and to restore to them their lost tone. It brings to the disabled, debilitated ner- vous tissues the peculiar nerve food which they must have to build up their parts. “I took Paine’s celery compound for dyspepsia, nervousness and sleeplessness.” says Lillie B. Smith of Williamston, N. J., *“and I can recommend it as a good medi- cine. As a result of taking it I feel better than I have for several years."” Paine’s celery compound is a perfect nerve food. It quickly feeds weakened parts, removes all irritation, allows the rest from pain they need so badly, and restores all the myriad deep-lying nerve parts all over the body to a healthy, qniet working. This is the way this remarkable invigora- tor makes people well. Reports of its marvelous working come from cities as far apart as New Orleansand Montreal. There is not a town large enough to stand on a railroad map that has not contributed some word of warm praise and gratitude to the greatest nerve ana blood remedy of this stirring end of the 19th century.

The new trains will be vesui- uled and will run dining-cars, managed by that same Fred Harvey who is so widely known in the West. The Santa Fe's overland track is now undergoing exten- sive repairs and ballasting in anticipation of the advent of the new orange-grove speeder. The Southern Pacific’s Sunset Limited trains between here and New Orleans will be put on next month. They will leave San Francisco and New Orleans twice & week. This means there will be four trains. They will all be new trains, being now under construction at Pullman, and on them the Southern Pacific people will largely rely in bidding for the season’s business. ———— A Horse on a Dummy. A horse ran away from the Sutter-street mar- ket yesterday and collided with a Geary-street car just as the latter crossed Grant avenue. The animal became entangled in the dash board, and the greater part of its body was left resting on the front seat of the dummy. It took several men with crowbars ten minutes to extricate the animal before the car could proceed.
