One of the most notorious deals, which begn fraught with most compromising ts to George W. Root, was with Max lein, one of the proprietors of the Cafe Rovyal, in this ci After Root had received his nominati as Clerk of the Supreme Court he needed money with which to make his campaign in the State. His credit was at a low ebb, but he in- | E: | B [ re e Auced Hornlein to go with him to the | bank of D. O. Mills in Sacramento, where Root proposed to give his notes for a loan amounting to a sum between $2000 and These notes were given and Max Hornlein indorsed them, thus becoming responsible for their paymenf. Root bor- rowed other small sums from Hornlein, giving his jewelry as security. Then came the question of {he payment of this large indebtedness. The account was transferred from the bank of D. O. Mills to the California State Bank, and Root was forced to give to the California State Bank his power of attorney to col- lect his monthly salary as clerk of the Supreme Court. This bank is still eollect- ing Root’s salary and allowing him $i0 a month upon which to live. Tt is a favorite pastime of the clerk of the Supreme Court in placating his many creditors to show the written proof that he cannot even con- trol the salary of the office he holds. The facts In the case indicate that he must have made an extremely expensive campaign for his present position. The heavy loan which the bank of D. O.

But even now Root won't pay the note, and the most persistent pleading for him to pay_at least a part of it has been in vain.

An enthusiastic Republican meeting was held at Washigigton Square Hall, Union and Stockton streets, last night. John H. Nelson, nominee for Senator 'in the Twenty-fifth District, and _ Alexander Clmxbcll and George C. Brown, nomin for Assemblymen, and other candidates were the speakers ‘remarks were directed to the need of re- turning J. C. Needham to Congress. Enthusiasm Arouse at San Diego. AN DIEGO, Nov. 1.—The Republi- cans of San Diego gathered to- night at the H street park to hold one of the last meetings of the campaign. The evening was de- | cldedly pleasant outside and a large crowd | gathered about the open stand. W. W.| Bowers of this city, who répresented the Seventh District at Washington for four years, was the principal speaker, and his Mr. Bowers declared that thers was no longer any doubt of McKinley’s being re- elected, that the Senate was bound to be Republican for four years, that every in- dication pointed to the return of a Repub- lican majority to the House of Represent- atives, and if the Seventh District wanted anything from Congress it would be much | more apt to get what it asked for if It sent a Representative there who is in accord with the administration. Judge D. L. Murdock and ex-Senator ‘Withington spoke on_the county ticket and the Assembly candidates from the two districts in the county. i onis il POPULAR ORATORS AT MILTON | Rousing Rally Under Auspices of McKinley and Roosevelt Club. MILTON, Nov. L.—The largest political gathering ever held in this section of the | State took place to-night under the aus- pices of the Milton McKinley and Roose- velt Club. Campaign fssues were discussed by Sen- ator John F. Davis, Hon. Alexander Brown and W. C. Ralston, Republican nominee for veras. Delegations were present from the sur- rounding country and -hundreds —were turned away from the overcrowded hall. The speakers discussed campalgn issues general, i paying due respects to trusts, imperialism, free silver and other para- mount issues. . Each mention of the names of McKinley and Roosevelt called forth vociferous applause. There was no minc. ing of matters. Words of Democratic or- ators were quoted verbatim and straight- forward answers given, which brought many doubting ones back into the fold. Due honors were accorded Sam. D. Woods, nominee for Congress, and W. C. Ralston, who aspires to the Assembly. Cheers for these popular nominees were called for repeatedly and responded to with gusto. They appear to be gaining ground day by day. It is freely predicted that McKinley and Roosevelt will carry this county by a good majority, and Woods and Ralston will run far ahead of the ticket. S iy PERKINS SPEAKS AT STOCKTON Presents Issues of the Campaign to a Large Audience. STOCKTON, Nov. lL—Senator George C. Perkins to-night addressed the pefmle‘ of San Joaquin County at one of the best | attended and most enthusiastic Republi- can rallies of the campaign. Senator Per- kins. is a great favorite here and his con- gervative and business-like presentment of the issues of the campaign was well re- ceived. He devoted himself to a defense of the administration’s foreign and do- mestic policy. He also dwelt upon the beneficent effects of President McKinley's policies to California, comparing the con- ditions with what they were when the ad ministration assumed control of the coun- try's destinles. He appealed to all to unite for a per- petuation and strengthening of the era of | prosperity. National honor demanded the faithful performance of our treaty obli- | gations and self-interest demanded sound | money and an_opportunity to earn it.

DUTCH FLAT, Nov. 1.—One of the larg- | est political meetings ever held here a: sembled to-night to hear Sdm D. Woods, Republican candidate for Congress in this | district, discuss the issues of the cam paign. = The speech was a splendid e: position of the Republican doctrine and | the needs of the Second District and was recelved enthusiastically. In reply to a question as to how he stood on the Chi- nese exclusion bill, Mr. Woods said he did not know of any one in California who as not in favor of excluding the Chinese, and he most certainly was. He declared that Chinese exclusion was in no sense an issue, because it. took two sides to make an issue and there was but one side to the Chinese question, as far as a California Congressman was concerned. L L hse Ford at Vallejo. VALLEJO, Nov. 1.—Hon. Tirey L. Ford, Attorney General, addressed a large and enthusiastic meeting here to-night.. Mr. Ford possesses a most convineing manner and eloquent delivery, His comparisons were well chosen and his efforts were greeted with so much enthusiasm that at times the din of applause was deafening. Frank R. Devlin, Solano’s District Attor- ney, was the other speaker. His remarks were full of Republican truths. - Mass-Meeting at Oakdale. OAKDALE, Nov. 1.—The largest politi- cal meeting ever held in Oakdale ' took place here to-night. A large parade pre- ceded the meeting and tremendous enthu- slasm prevailed. CongPessman Needham and Hon. H. S. Foote made eloquent ad- dresses. Stanislaus County, although Democratic, will “rnbahly give a good majority for Needham. Alford at Redlands. REDLANDS, Nov. L—Hon.

Up to the time of | Peter the Great, Russia was Asiatic| rather than European and its civilization | Oriental, not Occidental. Its complete by the fact that it did not adopt the Christian era until Peter's reign.

Sweden, whose great ex- ansion in_ the seventeenth century was nadequately = supported by natural re- sources, lost not oply these Baltic prov- inces to Russia, but also her German pos- | sessions in Germany to Prussia and Han-| over and sunk into a power of the second | rank. The aggressive advance of Prussia and Russla by the double process of adminis- | trative centralization and territorial ex- pansion was ominous of the future of Po- land, a state of vast area, but decentral- ized 'to the verge of anarchy. Its Kings | were elected by the nobles, but the office | was hardly more than honorary, so com- | pletely had the nobles stripped the crown | of power. This process, the reverse of that which made France and Spain | powerful, incapacitated Poland for the | struggle for existence now imminent, and the war of the Polish succession which broke out in 1723 and involved the Con- tinent in a conflict in behalf of the rival claimants foreboded at no distant date the disappearance of an independent: Po- land from the map. The . immediate changes affected by the war, - however | (peace finally concluded, 1738)," are to be seen In the West. | France secured the annexation of the | Duchies of Bar and Lorraine to take place | on the death of Stanilas, the defeated | claimant to the Polish crown, to whom they had been assigned.as a compensation | for' his failure; the Emperor, on the other hand, was compelled. to give Naples and Sicily, with the ports of Tuscany, to Don Carlos,. the second son of the King + % ’ FREDERICK - THE GREAT. * b of Spain, who founded the line of Spanish Bourbon¢ which held sway over that part of_Italy till within forty years.

This ar- ra..gement ‘vas carried out.in 1737 an1 at- tached Tuscany to the Hapsburg domains. The small States of Tltaly had again served like the little weights of the apoth- ecary's scales to make an even balance between Spain and Austria. The gains of the house of Savoy, although slight, and the startling appearance 6n- the Rhine of Russian troops. for the first time in his- tory, were significant of the future. 1t is a curious coincidence that in lttle more than a generation after the extine- tion of the male line of the Spanish Haps- burgs had involved all Europe in a strug- gle for the inheritance, a similar fate im- ending over: the Austrian branch of the amily brought down upon the world the same catastrophe. For years the Emperor had faced the painful prospect of the dis- memberment of the vast body of Haps- burg dominions unless he could pledge the difterent powers of Europe to respect his formal recognition of his daughter, Marla Theresa, as his successor.

WHITE ~COTTOLENE means good food, good diges- tion, good health. It is used and recommended by expert cooks and highly in- lished this after extraordindry efforts. ut it was an age when the obligation of solemn treaties counted little against the opportunity for territorial aggrandize- ment. ‘“Reasons of siate” justified any- thing, for, as the Prussian publicist, Baron Bielfeld, declared: “In questions of policy one must divest oneself of ‘the the- oretical idea common péople have about justice, frankness, fairness and the other virtues of nations and rulers. At hottom it is merely a question of might.” It is then perhaps not so much of a surprise as a shock to the common sense of right and wrong to see Frederick, the young King of Prussia, within three days after the news of the Emperor's death reached his ears, make up his mind to pounce upon Silesia, anAustrian possession lying south- east ‘of Brandenburg, between Bohemia and Poland, and comprising in the main the upper watershed of the Oder, one of the three great rivers flowing through his dominions. Although antiquarians were able to dis- cover and elaborate claims to Sile: Frederick attached small importance to them. His object was territory, not the vindication of obsolete claims. If. won, Silesla wolxd reinforce his position to- ward Poland, for he would have territories dorsed by eminent physicians.
