THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1896.

Mosby. who is in close touch with the political situation in the | South through the medium of a volumin- | our correspondence with old-time friends in that section of the country.

You must remember that last year the Republicans carried both Kentucky and Maryland— Kentucky and Maryland now have Re- publican Governors. Bryan can’t be elected without the *Solid South.” That is now broken.” “By the by, do you know who coined the phrase ‘a solid S»uth’? Well, [ did. 1t first appeared in a letter of mine ad- dressed to a Confederate in favor of the election of Hayes, which was pubtished in the New York Harald August 12, 1876, and afterward issued in pamphlet form by the Republican Congressional Committee. Here is the pampvhlet,” said the colonel. I will give you an extract from it: ‘Be- sides, you say that ii ‘Tilden is elected he will be under the control of the Confede- rates. 1f that is so, then you will have no need of me. But suppose Hayes is elected with a solid South against him, what are vou going to do then? You do not see now, but you will then see the force of my logic.” By this I meant that in the event of Hayes' eiection the Southern people would be glad to utilize the influence of any Confederate soldier who had sup- ported him. In other words that it would be better for the Southern people not to put all their eggs in one basket. “} see that Bryan is trying to make capital with the Germans out of a pre- tended letter of Bismarck’s, a part of which turns out to be a forgery. Itis really immaterial whether the whole let- ter is genuine or not:” Of course, Bismarck wonld like for the United States to adopt free coinage single handed for he knows that we would immediately drop to a sil- ver basis, and all our gold would fly to Europe. Germany would thenfunload her silver on ns and pay our farmers for their grain and pork in our own depreciated ver dollars. His benevolent advice to i3 is, ‘Piteh in, Lemons, and get squeezed.’ Now, Bismarck is the great goldbug of | gold stendard, go.dbugs. ! they wou | one presenting $20 worth of these coins at | business, there is not enougn business to | worse than | bope and business confidence to the coun- | town. Kurope. Germany was under the control of the Iron Chancellor when she demone- tized silver. Of all the European nations Germany has been the most stubborn against any poliey tending toward the re- montization of silver. “I have just examined the report of the monetary conference held at Paris in 1881 by the invitation of the United S:ates to which President Garfield sent Allen G. Thurman, William M. Evarts, Dana Hor- ton, Reuben E. Fenton and Mr. Groesbeck as delegates. dugs o s B “Germany was invited to vparticipate in the conference, which was called for the purpose of establishing international bi- metallism. Bismarck positively declined to bave anything to do with it. All the other European nations sent delegates. Germany alone refused. Bismarck wants to try the experiment of free coinage on the other fellow, both to see 1.0 it works, as well as to get the other fellow’s gold and unload his old silver on him. He wants to use the United States justasa scientist uses a dog for vivisection to test a theory. “The burden of all of Bryan's ‘speeches is the depression of business, which he pretends to think is due to a contraction of the currencv, and with ali the art of Mephistopheles, he charges that it is a conspiracy of the rich to oppress the poor. These speeches recail the picture that Milton diaws of Satan squatting in Eden in the shape of a toad and whispering damnable suggestions into the ear of Eve. Bryan is not only a quack _and a aemagogue, but an incendi- ary. Whoever tries to array one class against another—the rich against the poor—is an enemy of society. We all want to be rich. It is doctrines such as these—the development. of the maxim of Rousseau that ‘property is robbery,’ that set the guillotine to work and drenched Paris in blood. Now Bryan’s programme is simply a grand scheme of confiscation and spoliation. “The treasury statement shows that on August 1, 189, the volume of currency was nearly three times larger than it was in 1873, when he said silver was demonetized (which is not true), and per capita is | greater than it ever was in the most pros- | Hughes, corresponding secreta: j perous year of the couniry.

The prevailing depression is not due to a scarcity of money. There is more money in the country than there ever was before.

It is the fear of tampering with the currency, changing the standard of value and dropping to a silver basis | that has ated distrust, caused & suspen- sion of pbusiness and stagnation in trade. “Why there nave been more silver dol- lars coined this year than were coined | from the beginning of the Government down to 1873.

The fractional coins contained | the same proportional amount of silver | as the dollar, i. e. two half dollars, or four | quarters, contained ss much silver as a | dollar. They were at a slight premium | over gold, and hence did not circulate; | were either melted or exported or sold as | bu:lion. *This produced a scarcity of small! char To remedy the evil Mr. Hunter | in 1¢ reduced the amount of silver in | the iractional coins, and reduced their egal tender value to $5. No mention was made of the silver doilar, as it had disap- | peared during J fferson’s administration, and was as obsolete as a flint-lock gun. “I was born in 1833, and never saw_an American silver dollar until 1878. But | when Mr. Hunter made silver mere token money he took away the right of free coinaze. The bullion vaiue of tne coins was less than their face value. If the owners of silver bullion had been permit- tea the ?wrivilege of coining them then d have made a large profit. “Bo_it was provided that these ‘coins should be issned just as silver is now—on Government account—i. e. the Govern- ment to buy the bullion and coin it. Any medlremury can have them redeemed in gold. 2 *The silver baronsnow want the Goyern- ment to do what the statutes of 1853 said they shouid not do—i. e. coin a lie ana certify that 50 cents 1s 100 cents. Bryan has a great deal oi abuse for corporations and syndicates. He nas nothing to say against the silversyndicate that is pouring out its money to elect him. “Bankers are as much depressed as any other class. They don’t meke meney by hoarding it in their vaults, but by ex- changing it. Instead of there not being enough money ior the requirements of employ the money that is idle. If we had free coinage, those who are rich now would still’ be the rich; those who are poor would be poorer. “Bryan himself admits that his election will cause a monetary panic, but says such a heroic remedy is necessary to cure the disease from which the country is suf- | fering. I think the remedy he proposes is the disease. Instead of a panic, McKinley's election will restore try and start again the wheels of industry, “I have just received the Index, pub- lished at my old home, Warrenton, Va.

TO BE IN GOLDEN GATE PARK, Nineteenth of the Current Month Selected for This Event—Patri. otic Children. Monday, the 19th inst., will be a historic day in San Francisco, for on that day the members of Sequoia Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution will plant in Golden Gate Park thirteen trees to represent the thirteen original States of the Union. Some time ago Mrs. 8. Isabelle Hubbard, aprominent member of the chapter named, received a letter from Mrs. Peter J. of Merion By plantin Park severa linked the history of the American revolu- tion with the dawn of creation; perhaps with the end of time. Now, many of the Western chapters have a colomal history also, either French or Spanish; for it is & valgar error (o suppose that England is the mother country of the United States. Pennsylvanians in particular resent this idea; s0do some New Yorkers, who claim that the test of American citizenship comes from the Dutch. ~ Pennsylvenia comes from the Swedes, Welch, Germans, Dutch, Huguenots and Scoteh-Irish rather than English. It seems to me that Sequoia Chapter might mnke a great deal of the Mission Dolores, the Presidio and Sir Francis Drake's Cross. This last links Cali- iornia’s history to Sir Walter Raleigh and North Caroling and Virginia. If I am not mistaken, the Mission Dolores was founded in 1776. The more southern missions even earlier. Mrs. Leland Stanford, a member of Sequols Chapter, las already €rected statue to Father Junipero Serra. Why is it not ge: erally made known thatthis is the work o daughter of the American revolution who ap~ Dreciates colonial history? Now it is the desire of the members of Merion Chapter to help Mother Sequoia if. possible. Accordingly 1 suggest that Sequoia plant thir- teen trees in Golaen Gate Park, one from each of the original States. The treesshould be planted in & semi-circle, representiug the his- toric arch along the Atlantic, with Pennsyl vania’s tree in the middle of the keysione. Mrs. Hubbard opened a correspondence with the State Regents of the thirteen the sequoia trees in Golden Gate years 8go, Sequoia Chapter has | original States, in accordance with the suggestions of Mrs. Hu.hes and received from each a most enthusiastic reply.

The tree from Rhode Island was received last week and others are expected within the next few days. Mrs. Hubbard and Mrs. William Alvord called on Superintendent McLaren a few days ago, and he entered into the spirit of the proposiiion with great zest,and a few days since selected the place where the historic trees will he planted on the 19th inst., with appropriate ceremonies. The site is in the old ’49 mining camp, a little west of the bearpit. The southern leg of the arch will be opposite the line of the Roman briage across Stow Lake and the northern one be near the north drive. The span is about 600 feet. The thirteen trees will be planted in the form of an arch, with the tulips from Pennsylvania as the keystone. This site was selected by the superintendent because it is well sheltered, and as he says ‘‘those trees from the East require a good deal of shel- ter when they are transplanted.” The arrangements for the event are not uite complete, but thus far it is known that Z. U. Dodge, an attorney of this City, will deliver the oration. ~Miss Martin will recite a patriotic poem and Mrs. J. French will probably write an original poem. The First Unitea States Infantry band will furnish the music and the High School Cades will attend as a company. It is expected that Captain Howison of the Oregon will. send a detachment of marines and that Captain Sumner of the Monadnock, himselfa Son of the Ameri- can Revolution, will send a detachment of men, and General Warfield will pe asked to lend aid to the occasion. The arrangements will probably be con- cluded this week. Patrlotic Children. A meeting of the Valentine Holt Society of the Children of the American Revolu- tion was held last Saturday at the resi- dence of Mrs. L. L. Baker, 1882 Washing- ton street. There was notwithstanding the many attraciions a large attendance. Edith M. and William Wili‘ard Crocker., children of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Crocker and descendants of Colonel Seth Read of the Massachusetts’ line of the Continental Army, Humphrey Williara, same line, and Ebenezer Sperry, sergeant of Colo- nel Ward’s company of Connecticut line, were elected to membership. The donation by Colonel A. 8. Hubbard of the Sons of the American Revolution of a copy of Washington’s farewell address was acknowledged. A very interesting paper on “Our Flag” by Harrold S. Warren, grandson of Rev. J. H. Warren of this City, was read and well received. At the close of the meeting the children were entertained with a literary and mus- ical programme. THEATRICAL EMPLOYES. Union Sixteen Held a Successful Picnic at Germania Gardens. Union 16 of the mechanical employes of the San Francisco theaters held a well- attended picnic at Germania Gardens yesterday. Sixty gate prizes, with four prizes for the best lady and gentleman waltzers, kept the committee busy during the day in deciding among the contestants and aistributing the prizes to Lhe successf holders of the winning numbers. “Smithy” of the Tivoli and Jack Wilson ot the Baldwin were prominent in con- ducting the exercises and making it pleas- ant for those who attended. The gardens were crowded from early morning until late in the evening. The chorus girls from the numerous places of amusement were there rigged outin the loveliest of summer dresses and decofated headgear. Everybody seemed to be happy, and as all were acquainted with each other there was no such thing as estrangement or stiff formality in making scquaintance. The following are the officers of the union: President, Robert Little; vice-president, Otto Romer; secretary, Carl Taylor; treasurer, 1ke Martser; financial secre- tary, Steve Ryan. BEAT A CRIPPLED TEAM Imperials, Minus Their Pitcher, Defeated by the San Franciscos. Almost Faultless Fielding Game Played by the Successful Ball-Tossers. The Imperials had no more chance to win yesterday's game from the San Fran- ciscos than a one-armed man would have to win & wrestling match. With all their players in position it was an almost dead even proposition, but when they had to substitute Eber to pitch in Kelly’s place, nothing but a miracle would have accom- plished a victory for them. Kelly was in- jured in a wagon accident and unable to ay. 3 Eber lasted just one inning in the box. During that time ten of the San Franciscos came to the bat, five of whom hit safely and six of whom scored. Monahan and Beckett were eacn presented with a base on balls, In addition to his other troubles, Eber made two wild pitches. Smith relieved Eber in the second and the latter went to third, where his exhibi- tion was almost as bad as his battery work. The little third baseman pitched recmarkable ball considering . his lack of practice, and until he grew tired in the sixth the San Franciscos were practicall at his mercy. Lack of condition toid, however, and four hits bunched n each the sixth and seventh innings netted Blake's men eight runs. They had also made one in the second on a hit, Creamer’s error and a wild pitch. It looked like a shutout for the Im- perials up to theeighth, and the San Fran- cisco men played with might and main to make it one. In the last inning but one a single by Tillson, followed by Creamer’s double, earned a run. Creamer salso scored on wo sacrifice hits. The eighth inning was also marked by the only error charged to the local play- ers. Murphy fumbled a slow, twisting ground ball Trom Smith’s bat. It was an excusable misplay and an unfortinate one, as it marred what would otherwise have been a foultless fielding game. Following is the official score: EAN FRANCISCOS. A.B. R. B.JL S.B. P.0.

ST OF THE HOLY ROSHRY The Dominicans Elaborately Observe Their Annual Festival. Solemn and Imposing Procession Following the High Mass. BLESSED ROSES DISTRIBUTED. Many Devout Worshipers Visit the Church to Obtain Indulgences at the Altar of Mary. In the Catholic calendar fow feasts are more devoutly observed and have greater significance that the solemn feast of the most holy rosary. The feast was first instituted in commemoration of the fa- mous battle of Lepanto on October 7, 1571, when the Christians’ arms won a de- cisive victory over the Turks, who were on the eve of overrunning Europe. The con- duct of this feast is particularly enjoined upon churches under the care of the order of 8t. Dominic, and though the occaslon was not unnoticed in other churches of the City, it was at St. Dominic’s, on Bush and Steiner streets, that the main observ- ance was held, The edifice, which was crowded for the occasion, was beautifully decorated, and the magnificent choir was at its best. Previous to the rendition of solemn high mass blessed roses were distributed to members of the congregation. These roses are eagerly sought by the devout and prized as relics. After the mass Rev. J. B. O’Connor, O.P., delivered a sermon on the occasion. He stated that the devotion of the holy rosary was revealed to St. Dominic by the blessed virgin Mary, who commanded him to preach it throughout the world. He extolled the virtues of the rosary, which he declared to be adapted to the learned and the ignorant and to every ca- pacity. He exhorted his hearers to be un- swerving in this service. At the conclusion of the sermon an im- posing procession of the clergy and lay- men of the church was formed. The pro- cession, led by the Dominican fathers, marched from the church door, via Steiner street to Pine, thence to Pierce, to Bush, to the point of beginning. The partici- pants were: Grand marshal, James P. Sweeney; aids to grand marshal, W. H. McGeeney, William R. O’Neill, iam Barry,J. White, Edward Dol- lard, Firstdivision, J. B.

In the evening the procession was re- peated, after which Rev. D. Maher preached an appropriate sermon. e R P HONORED ITS PATRON. Interesting Commemorative Ser- vices at St. Francis Church. At 8t. Francis Church the feast of the holy rosary gave way by regular prece- dence to the least of St. Francis of Assisi, the church’s patron saint. A solemn high mass was celebrated by Rev. Father Giles, with Rev. Father Heslin as deacon and Rev. Father Caraher as sub-deacon. As the evening discourse was to be a pane- gyric of 8t. Frauncis, Father Heslin deliv~ ered a discourse upon the holy rosary. In th evening Rev. Leo Brunner, Order of St. Francis, delivered the panegyric. He briefly sketched the life of the saint and dwelt upon his virtues, his poverty, humility and intense love of the Re- deemer. From his intense iove and his long meditation upon the crucifixion he received upon his own limbs the stigma of his savior. From the liie of St. Francis the speaker drew many beautiiul iessons which he exhorted his hearers to heed. SR g FIRST COMMUNION. Eighty-Two Girls and Seventy Boys Recelved at St. Peter’s. An event of unusual interest at St, Pe- ter's Church yesterday was the reception of a large class of young communicants, consisting of eighty-two giris and seventy boys. Of these about half were pupils of the convent and the boys' school which are under the patronage of the churcn. The others were from the public schools. Rev. Father Casey read mass, after which he delivered an address to the children calculated to impress upon them the solemnity of the vows which they had just undertaken. MRS. BOOTH SPEAKS. Tells of Prison Experiences and of a Convicts’ Refuge in This City. The largest number of persons thatever crowded into the Y. M. C. A. Auditorinm assembled there yesterday afternoon to hear Mrs. Bailington Booth, one of the leaders of the American Volunteers, re- cently formed asa result of the disrup- tion between the American Booths and the head of the Salvation Army in Eng- land. Over 400 persons, many of them women, remained standing for two hours as both seating and standing room was fully occupied. On the stage with Mrs. Booth were Major Blackhurst and Cap- tain Bradley, otlicers of the new organiza. tion here, and Rabbi Jacob Voorsaneer and a number of clergymen and others interested in the snccess of Mrs. Boothls prison reform and slum work. had been supposed,” said Mrs. Booth, “that the American Volunteers sta. as & new organization with a capi- tal of $1,000,000. It started with just $100 and then founded in New York City its little weekly paper. the Volunteer Ga- zette, and secured headquarters. In the very few months of its existence the movement has grown encouragingly. There are already 2000 persons in the United States who, as sympathizers with the work, have become members of the Volunteer League, and contribute $5 a year for its support, and who, whenever opportunity offers, speak a good word for those actively engaged as uniformed workers in the new army. On this coast the development has been very encouraging. Starting three months ago with but two posts, this division will before the end of this month have eleven actively in the field. In a few days, Mrs. Booth says, a home is to be established in this City for re- formed convicts, where, after cominfi di- rectly from prisod, they may be h-lped until honorable employment can be found for them. The rent of the building will be $30 a month, and many little things must be provided for it. *If,’’ said Mrs. Booth, *‘any one has a sheet or a pillow case, or a bedspread or furniture, or crock- ery or tinware he or she would like to give to help fit up this home for ‘my boys,’ it would be most acceptable and be ver{ gratefully received.’’ “I think,”” continued Mrs. Booth, “that through the work of the last three months, through its heartburnings and its trials, I have seemed to know meore of myself and of my own heart than I ever felt in the most sweeping success of a great cause. 1t is in the dark hour that we feel the help of God.” In the evening Mrs, Booth addressed even a larger audience—one that filled the main floor, the galleries and the adjacent and approaching stairways at the old Y. M. C. A. huilding, on Sutter street, above Kearny. There was a solid mass of peo- ple eagerly listening, many of them stand- ing so far outside the doorways that they were unable to catch all that was said. During her remarks upon the new cause she is espousing, Mrs. Booth referred only once to the Salvation Army, for which she had been until recently so tireless and valued a worker. It wasnotin a aispar- aging way, nor did she mention the name of the body, yet every one knew what she meant when she declared that a work of this kind should not have its head in a foreign country: it should be within the Nation. As in the afternoon, a subscription was taken up, and in addition tickets were cir- culated for those so inclined to sign and become members ot the Auxiliary League for one year, by each agreeing to pay $5 toward its work. NEW TO-DAY. Do you ever wake up in the nightto find yourself bathed in perspiratior, which stands 1n beads on your forenead, feeling as if every pore mn your skin was teeming with a weakening sweat? You feela hot flush over your whole body, and for relief you throw off the covers. Your hot flush soon gives way to a clammy, sticky feel- ing, as you get chilled and your circula- tion gets sluggish. Then you feel limp and weak, as if these night sweats were sapping the very lif- out of you. Perhaps you allow yourseif to aoze off to sleep and forget to pull up the covers and you catch cold. A few nights of this kind bring you to a realization that you are weakening in nerve force and vitality. You take a tonic or stimulant in your effort to ward off the symptoms that warn you of a total col- lapse of your nerve and vital forces, and soon find that such stimulation leaves a reaction that kills your ambition and ruins your stomach. Don’t you see that medicines won’t cure you? You need the toning and invigorating effects of a miid current of electricity, such as you can get by applying Dr. Sanden’s Eiectric Belt. It is life and vitality to your tired nerves and induces a calm, peaceful sleep, from which you wake refreshed, with your fac- ulties alert and active and an appetite for breakfast and ambition for work. ‘A San Francisco Cure. “When I received your belt on May 6 I was in a broken-down_condition both physicially and mentally, had no ambition for anything, could not sleep well, had night sweats, a poor appetite and wes always thinking about my trouble, thhdon called nervous debility and seminal weakness. After I had worn the belta month [ was much improved, and I gradually became stronger every day, and to- day I am a better man than I have ever been. 1 would recommend your belt to all sufterers from the above troubles. It will cure withoat fail,’”” writes GUST JOHNSON, 613 Mission street, San Francisco. Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt strengthens the nerve forces and adds vitality to the system. Its strengthening effect on the vital organs equalizes and quickens the circulation and overcomes the weakness that follows these night sweats.
