THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, ATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 189 BRYAN THROUGH GERMAK EYES Graphic Pen Picture of the Leader of the Free- Traders. VITAL ISSUES TOUCHED. The Nebraskan’s Speeches Said to Be Entirely Devoid of Logic. McKINLEY SURE OF ELECTION, Sentiment From Now Until Votes Are Cast Will Grow in His Favor, The following article, written by a well- known Democrat, was published early this month in the Nation, one of the lead- ing periodicals of Germany, whose editor, Dr. Theodor Barth, has come to this country to watch the progress of our elec- tions: “In about two months it must be de- cided whether William Jennings Bryan or William McKinley is to be President. *‘The Populists have indorsed Mr. Bryan for the Presidency, but nominated Thomas 1. Watson, a violent partisan from Georgia, as Vice-President, because they despise Arthur Sewall, the wealthy shipbuilder from Maine. Neither Watson nor Sewall can be induced to withdraw. As Bryan insists upon retaining Sewall he may lose votes of Southern Populists who decline to vote for him. **A description of the strange product of our Western country who, by accident, came suddenly into prominence, must be of interest. Born in March, 1860, at Salem, Ill., William J. Bryan has by age just become elgible. His father, a Vir- ginian by birth, was for many years State Benator and Judge in Iilinois. “His means enabled the son to enjoy the advantages of a good education. ~ At the age of 12 William was already allowed to address a political meeting. The audience began by laughing at the boy orator, but soon listened to him with at- tention. He studied law in college and in the office of Lyman Trumbull in Chicago, famous by his drait of the thirteenth amendment to the constitution, which lepalized the emancipation of slaves. Graduating in 1881, Mr. Bryan moved, 1n 1887, to Lincoln, Nebr., where he devoted himselfto politics. In 188> he won his first laurels by a passionate speéch in favor of free trade. Elected to Congress in 1890, he was appointed a member of the ‘Ways and Means Committee, and distin- guished himself in the cause of tariff re- form. As a friend of Richard Bland he becan.e the most violent advocate of free- silver coinage when he was re-elected in 1892. At the end of this term in 1894 he accepted a position as editor of the Omaha ‘World-Herald. ‘“‘After his admission to the bar he mar- ried Mary Elizabeth Baird, a clever young woman and fellow law student, now the better lawyer of the pair. She takes deep interest in the political advancement of her husband, assists in the preparation of his speeches and makes hosts of friends by her tact and amiability, never neglecting her duties as housewife and mother. She commands universal respect. “Mr, Brran speaks with apparent sin- cerity; his manner issimple yet earnest, B0 that it carries conviction.” Intelligent men have remained spellbound under the influence of his silver tongue, although he seldom says what is worth hearing. In- toxicated by the exuberance of his own verbosity, he has the faculty of speaking without saying anything. Coming to Cni- cago to claim a seat in the conven- tion, which had been contested, silyerites awarded and gave to him an opportunity of delivering that wonderful address which secured his nomination. One of its captivating phrases, ‘Protection has slain thousands, the gold standard tens of thou- sands,’ is a fair example of the rest, “Traveling from Nebraska to New York to be ‘notified of his nomination,’ he se- lectea slow trains because he could speak from the platforms of their cars wherever curiosity drew a crowd. That a possible President should exhibit himself like a mountebank was a humiliating spectacle even to Western politicians. His hand became sore from shaking and his voice hoarse from speaking, so that he could hardly be heard when he delivered his oration of acceptance in the vast expanse of Madison-square Garden. This the- atrical verformance failed, because he read his part instead of speaking it as he was accustomed. The people who had come to listen to a Demosthenes, left when they heard an essay of a college rofessor. More than a third of the all, which accommodates 10,000 specta- tors, was empty before he finished. Ap- lauded for socialistic expressions his al- usions to finance were listened to in silence. Agezin and again he _asserted that we could raise the value of an ounce of silver to $1 29 in gold by free coinage, but produced no arguments to show how it could be done. Here is one of the glittering phrases of the lec- ture: ‘The gold standard has beer weighed and found wanting; it encourages hoard- ing, discourages enterprise and paralyzes industry.” The opposite is true. Money is hoarded in India and China, while it circulates freely in England and Germany. Industries flourish where people have con- fidence in the stability of values; they languish wherever thatis wanting. “0Of medium height und pleasing man- ners, Bryan knows how to win the hearts of men by a musical voice and genial smile; politically a demagogue, he bears the reputation of a good Christian and honest man in private life. “Many theories of our Silverites are crude, 80 that it is incomprehensible how they could influence a well-balanced mind. Some claim it would be an advantage if our credit were im- paired, as we would have to rely then on our own resources, and could show what he could do ‘without the money changers and vampires of Lombard street.” A majority have nothing to lose; in their opinion any change could not injure, but might benefit them. To call their atten- tion to the fact that their labor would be paid for in depreciated money will not frighten them, because they ex- vect to get that money without working for it. The platform of tbe Populists favors an 1ssue of irredeemable money which is safe and sound and is to be dis- tributed through lawful disbursement of the Government. One of the measures openly advocated in St. Louis was a free gift to the people of the imaginary profit which the treasury had made by coining silyer into standard silver dollars. That this ‘profit,’ called seigniofage, should be coined and turned into the treasury, had been proposed in Congress; the Populists seem to have a better use forit. 3 “Bryan might have been successful if under the influence of spontaneous popu- lar entliusiasm for these vagaries the elec- tion _had taken place immediately after the Popocratic nominations. (Since the fusion of Populists with emocrats the combined party bas been called Popocratic.) The poor were then aroused against the rich, farm- ers against city folks. McKinley’s fol- lowers were called the hylocks of Wall street’ and ‘plutocrats .of New Englana.’ A woman by the name of Pennington, draped in our flag, appeared on the plat- form of the convention and delighted the audience by singing ‘Kill the goldbugs, every one,’ to the tune of ‘Yankee Doodle!” **Opinion has gradually changed; irom day to day it becomes clearer that the movement is a skillful conspiracy between interested mmeowners and ambitious poli- ticians whom they secured as their advo- cates. These furnish ammunition to their opponents by the very falsehoods which they continue to spread because they fail 1o substantiate them. Bourke Cockran, Benjamin Harrison and other able men of both parties are exposing these impostors and leave deep Impressions on the public mind wherever they are heard. ““It is unfortunate that the Republicans cannot restrict their argument to the line that a higher tariff would increase wages. While this may influence some votes for McKinley, it must repel sound-money Democrats who consider present duties high enough. They expect no favors from 2 Republican administration and support their candidate from patriotic motives, so that it would be better 1f their feelings were respected and this agitation deferred until Mr. McKinley is elected. . “‘Aside from this faux pasevery exertion is made by the Repubiican National and State Committees, especially in those Middle States where the brunt of the bat- tle will have to be borne. All Eastern States will probably vote for Mr. McKin- ley. Of the Southern States, where Popu- listic doctrines preponderate, Mr. Mc- Kinley will only secure Maryland, Dela- ware and West Virginia, perhaps Ken- tucky. On account of their interest in silver most States on the Pacific Slope favor Mr. Bryan. “‘The most important doubtful States are: with 24 electoral votes Misssouri, with 17 electoral votes Indiana. with 15 electoral votes Michigan...... with 14 electoral votes Minnesota. with 9 electoral votes 9 “‘The fiercest struggle will take place in Tllinois, largely inhabited by many Ger- mans. Governor Altgeld, a strong silver- ite, himself a German, is popular there. The following Midadle States are con- sidered safe for Mr. McKinley: Ohio, with 23 votes, as the mother of Republican Presidents; Wisconsin, witn 12 votes; Iowa, with 13 votes, on account of the large German population. *The recent siringency of money, par- tially due to the usual demand for moving crops, was chiefly caused by a general de- sire to hoard, engendered by uncertainty. Mercantile and industrial interests have already suffered in consequence. As it will continue, and spread over the coun- try, it may become a valuable ob- ject lesson to voters. If a fear that Bryan may be elected can create such disturbance, what must_we expect when he becomes President? Money may become abundant because there would be no longer any occasion to hoard, but the election of Bryan would cause a suspen- sion of the payment of and a premium on gold. ‘We do not eat soup as hot as it is cooked.” The premium could not become large, because a majorty of the elected members of the House of Repre- sentatives would be against free coinage, but uncertainty would intensify the pres- ent stagnation and public opimion would be aroused against repudiation so that Mr. Bryan himself wou!d be tompelied to abandon his scheme. ** ‘Sutficient_ unto the day is the evil thereof.’ I remain confident Mr. McKin- ley will be elected and that once more manufacturers will set their spindles in motion and merchants find conrage to trade. Then the present anxiety for our National honor wiil be forgotten like a nightmare, when the incubus of a terrible dream is removed and we see the bright autumn sun smile again_at our puzzied faces. Lours WINDMULLER.” PATRIOTIC YOUNG CADETS The Ladies of £t, James Parish Honor the League of the Cross. A Flag Presentation Amid Songs, Music and Stirring Speeches. Company E of the League of the Cross Cadets gave a grand drill and entertain- ment at Native Sons’ Hall, Seventeenth and Valencia streets, last night. Speeches were made, songs were sung and prizes for drill were awarded. The following programme was rendered: Instrumental selection, Miss A. Pauba; contralto solo, Mrs. Thomas Griffin; banjo se- lection, Thomas Bree; instrumental sextet, the Friday Evening Musical Club—the Misses C. and A. Devlin, M. K. Gadsby, M. Grennan, A. Baker, C.

McCarthy; *“America,” audi. ence; competitive drills, Captain George Filmer, N. G. C.—(a) for non-commissioned officers, (b) for privates; presentation of medals to winners, by Colonel Thomas Ryan. The stirring feature of the evening was young Captain D, J. McCarthy’s eloguent response to Colonel O'Byrne’s presenta- tion of a beautiful silk flag. The young man was a surprise to his friends, and he won the applause of the audience. After the Colonel had finished a brief presenta- tion speech the young man arose in uni- form and said he felt inadequate to the task of fitly responding. ‘But weall love that emblem of the free,” he said, “‘and we hope to warrant the confidence for its care that you bave in us reposed. **This is our flag and our only flag. We pledge to it our undivided allegiance, and if it is assailed in some dark hour of our country’s peril you may count upon the League of the Cross to furnish sober, patriotic and honest men for its defense and for the upholaing of the country's honor.”” There was much more said in the same strain, and the young man’s friends gave him an ovation. Gold medals were presented to Sergeant McCrystle and Private William Fogarty. The evening was greatly enjoyed by all present. FECHTELER PROMOTED.

Life Story of the Young Woman Who Tried to Kill E. J. Baldwin. A SAD DRAMA IN REAL LIFE She Left Her Fiance to Come to the Aid of Her Suffering, Sin- ning Sister. The story of Emma Ashley’s attempt to kill E. J. Baldwin was told and retold in Judge Bahrs’ ‘court yesteraay. Henry E. Highton related the tale from the stand- point of the prosecution, while James L. Crittenden and A. T. Barnett told how the deed was attempted, as seen by friends of the defense. In no way did any one of the relations differ materially from the stories published at the time and already told on the witness-stand on Thursday. 1f the case were to go to the jury to-day there is little doubt that the defendant would be acquitted, and as the prosecu- tion has closed, leaving the field to the de- fense, it would seem doubly sure that “not guilty” will finally be the verdict. The principal event yesterday was Gen- eral Friedrichs’ opening address in behali of the defense. He began by telling the risoner’s simple life-story and finished E' asking for her acquittal. ‘Twenty - two years ago,” said he, “Emma Ashley was born in a little town in Vermont. Her family is an old one, and she can trace her lineage through a period of 300 years. Her great-grand- iather fought for American independence in the Revolutionary War, and her more recent ancestors have been always promi- nent in New England affairs, and well- thought-of, law-abiding citizens. “Emma Ashley's father died when she was but 10 yvears of age, leaving his family in straitened circumstances. Her mother raised the children and brought them up in the Christian church, which the prisoner joined when 16 years of age, and to which she has ever since belonged. After her mother’s death she went to work and earned her own living in her native town, until she was informed of her sister Lillian’s illness in Boston. She at once hastened to her side, and has since clung to her through all. “Lillian Ashley subsequently came to California and entered into relations with E. J. Baldwin, which culminated in the suit for seduction. Miss Emma heard of her sister’s straitened circumstances and at once came to Pasadena from the East in order to help her. The shame of the situation preyed upon her to such an extent that I am sure it permanently af- fected her mind. “She had left the man of her choice, to whom she was engaged to be married, to come to her sister. Is it any wonder —coming from her rural home, simple, guileless, believing in the honesty of man- kina; engaged to be married to 2 man as honest as herseli, she finds her beloved sister the victim of a professional seducer, a man who has before been the target of a girl he had betrayed—is it any wonder, I say, that ber mind was affected ? “Then came the trial in this City ana the journey bere to attend it. The sisters were pitiably poor; so poor, indeed, that they lived in one room and denied them- selves the necessaries of life in order that the child might have food. To fill their | took Emma Ashley to t! be the cause of all her shame and woe. One day she sat in court all day and then all evening. She returned to her un- happy home, oanly to find her charge, the bug , soill that its life- was in dancer. She sat up with it all night and in the morning returned to court, only to see her sister on the stand, bullied and threatened by Attorney Highton, who tried to make her out an infamous woman. She heard a terrible question asked that sister, and then she knew no more. “Gentlemen, that she had a pistol we admit. We will show when and where she got it; but she never knew she used it nnfi? the morning after the shot was fired, when she awoke in the City Prixon. When informed of what she had done she showed no emotion, made no answer, and a moment after her voice was heard sing- ing ‘Nearer, My God, to Thee." “Such was her condition. We shall prove it, and we will then ask you to ren- der a verdict of acquittal.” During General Friedrichs’ address the defendant sat calm and npxupmly unin- terested, while her sister, Lllian Asnley, bowed her head on her hands and wept. Attorneys H. E. Highton, James L. Crittenden and A. T. Barneit, Dr. M. L. Burch and the two Daguly Bheriffs who e City Prison tes- tified during the day, and the case went over until 10 o’clock on Monday, SONS OF THE REVOLUTION.

FROM TURNAGAIN ARM The Miners Who Sailed in the Albion Reach Here With No Gold. 0dd Phases of Life In and About the New Placer Camp of Sun- rise City. Among the arrivals here yesterday were W. E. Flaeg, T. B. Bowers and G. W. Gib- son, of Tulare, who were members of the famous Ducey party who went to Cooks Inlet, Alaska, in the Albion last April to mine for gold. They had no gola except $5 or $6 worth apiece, which they had bought. But figuring the total cost of this gold they estimated that it cost them $300 each. Still none of them are dissatistied. They saw a vast expanse of country, and tra eled in all about 5000 miles. Mr. Flagg said: “It is not much of a place to mine up there. We were at Turnagain Arm on Six Mile Creek. There has been alittle quartz struck there, but generally speaking it is placer mining. We were all prospecting for placers. **There is only a little gold. We found placers and we could not get 2centsa pan from them, and finally they ran outen- tirely. Six of us worked twenty days, made sluice boxes, dug and cleaned up and all we got was$125. Ithad costus 53{)0 each. That section is a complete fake. ‘‘About three or four properties are pay- ing from $5 to $50 a day to the man. Out- side of these there isn’t anything.”’ Mr. Bowers thought somewhat differ- ently, in that he believed the country would yet develop a lot of bizg mines. He praised the country otherwise and said it ‘was as good 1n many respects as Montana. “The principal town where we stopped,”’ he said, “was Sunrise City. There were from 1500 to 2000 people about there this summer. At an election 270 votes were cast. There are four stores in the place and a great many cabins of various designs, built by the miners.

THE INSURARCE COMPACT Some Concessions Were Made to Messrs. Mullin and B:lden. A Report That Captain Magill Has Now Kicked Cver the Traces. One story goes in circles of fire insur- ance that work under the new compact was begun Thursday evening st 5 o'clock. Yesterday underwriters were perplexed by the rumor that Captain Magiil of the Home and Phenix had kicked over the traces and was cut in the open field defy- ing the compact. Itissaid that Magill was satisfied Wednesday evening, but that Mr. Mullns of the Commercial Union and Mr. Belden of the Hartford were not satis- | fied with the “non-intercourse” provision of the compact. They wanted 1t double- riveted, copper-fastened and airtight, and so the promoters of the agreement made it closer to conciliate them. This conces- sion, it is rumored, was made without Captain Magill’s consent or knoywledge, and when he heard of it he decided to withhold his approval of the compact. Charles D. Haven of the Liverpool, Lon® don and Globe declined_to discuss com- pact affairs yesterday. He said in a gen- eral way that there was absolutely noth- ing new, and indicated plainly that the fluency of newspaper comment was the chief obstacle in the way of successful ne- gotiation. He was kind enough to say that the press would be informed when the negotiations were closed. During the past eighteen months a vast deal of insurance, extending over periods of three and five years has been effected under the reduced rates. The owner of a residence in OQakland said that he had in- sured his dwelling for three years for the sum that he had formerly paid for one year’s insurance. There has been such adeal of slashing and undercutting that there is very little new business in the field. An old-time insurance man said yester- day: “The underwriters must come to- gether. It was the greatest folly in the first place to cut each other as they did. They bave practically destroyed the profits of the business for three years, and for their own protection they must form some kind of agreement. At 5 o'clock Thurs- day evening the compact had been signed by all the companies which had been ex- pected to subscribe, and I cannot account now for the report that a new complica- tion has come up.” WANTS HIS SUN RELEASED. C. Hill Sues to Have His Boy’s Marriage Annulled. Christian C. Hill, in behalf of his son, Charles C. H. Hill, who lacks a year of having attained his majority, vesterday brought suit to annul the latter’s marriage to A, E. T. HilL The minor Hill was wedded on March 10 of this year,and it is claimed in the complaint that on July 11, 189, it was discovered that the young man’s new wife, who was Adolphina Scheller, was not of irreproachaple life while a single woman. As the little Hill was not of age it was necessary for him to get his father’s con- sent to the marriage. Hill senior claims that he was induced to give this consent on the representation that the voung woman was of good character. He there- fore asks that the marriage be annulled.

In it come all the worst of their temptations, and in it all the effects of their past mistakes begin to develop. If young men pass the aze of 30 without no- ticing any sign of weakness they may feel reasonably sure of passing through the most of their life in the possession of healthy manly vigor. If, however, any sign of trouble is noticed before the age of 30 it denotes early decay, and if some action toward the recovery of this wasted power is not taken at once the trouble is liable to develep into nervous debility and total impotency inside of two years. The great vital restorer, Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt is the most effective remedy for such men, It cures all vital weakness in from one to three months. Here Is a Late Cure.

AND PORTLAND EX- MRS. SENAT OR WARREN, Why Paine’s Colery Compound Is Fame in Washington Families. Many persons out of heaith have found an excuse in hot weather for doing noth- ing toward getting well. “I will wait until fall,” they have prom- ised themselves. It is now time, if ever, in thousands ot cases, to keep that promise. ! Nothing should now interfere with | building up the weakened nerves. Now is the time of year when rheuma- tism and neuralgia must pe cured, when debility and nervousness must be checked, when bad health must be mended—if one hopes to get well. The natural, unchecked course of disease is from bad to worse as the fall and winter Wear on. It is not that rheumatism, neuralgia, in- somnia and kidney troubles are hard to cure—Paine’s celery compound has made a host of sufferers well—but people make themselves chronic invalids by neglecting the first symptoms of disease. Thousands of lives that are now fast wearing out would be prolongea if Paine’s celery compound were in each instance used to stop those cminous pains over the kidneys, to build up the run-down nervous strength, and cure permanently those more and more .frequently recurring attacks of headache and indigestion. There is absclute reiief from nervous prostration, sleeplessness, poor appetite, growing thinness and loss ot vigor an strength in Paine’s ce.ery compound. This most remarkable of all known remedies has won the sincere approval of the most progressive part of the commun- ity. Here is a testimonial recently re- ceived from the wife of U. 8. Senator E. F. Warren of Wyoming, whose distinguished services for the country’s best farming in- terests are =0 well known: “I was persuaded to try your Paine’s celery compound in the early spring when in a very run-down condition. The duties devolving upon the wife of an official in public life are naturally very exhaustin and I was tired out and nervous when commenced using the remedy. I take pleasnre in testifying o the great benefit I received from its use, and can truthfully sav_that I am in almost perfect health again, If I ever find myself running down again I shall certainly give it another trial and will in the meantime recommend it to every one needing it.”’ It is a fact verified by the practice of the best physicians and by thousands of per-, sonal testimonials that Paine's celery compound makes new, pure blood, builds up the nervous system, and cures disease where all other remedies have failed. Its absolute reliability is shown by its steady employment by trained physicians and in homes made happy by its unques- tioned power of making people well. RAILROAD TRAVEL! RAILROAD TRAVEL.
