Tomorrow the Evening Democrat will be an eight page edition, and every Saturday its readers will be supplied with four e::tra pages of choice miscellaneous reading matter. Boss Hanna is still doing business at the old stand. All in favor of continuing the existing hard times will do well to drop a thousand in the slot and watch the result. Tiik Banner Times yesterday circulated a ready print of McKinley’s let ter of acceptance furnised it, presnmably gratis, by the republican statecommittee and says: “W r e print Major McKinley’s letter of acceptance today upon time along with the other evening papers of the country.” The B. T. should, at least, get down to the Indians rule and tell the truth one time out of three. Harris hurled a boomerang when he said that JelTorson was a gold bug democrat because he ordered the suspension of the mintage of silver. Jefferson did this to protect silver. Foreign speculators were then draining the country of its silver as fast as coined. It was worth more than gold

in a ratio of coinage of the two metals and as its friend and protector Jefferson flanked the money sharks by stopping its coinage. The republicans by the crime of '73 demonetized silver to debase and dishonor it. Tarrying out the policy o‘ Jefferson the coinage of gold should be suspended to stop the looting of the treasury and speculation in that metal hy the Wall street and Lombard street sharks by means of the endless chain described hy East in his Thursday evening speech. The repnh' e ins can give no reason, whatever, for the maintainanee of the single gold standard in this country, and their orators are compelled to resort to all kinds of tricks, equivocations and misrepresentations. They admit in their platform that a gold standard is undesirable, by pledging themselves to endeavor to secure bimetallism if Queen Victoria will grociously grant the boon to our poor little dependent country. Harris, was an artful deceiver and did not hesitate to grossly prevaricate in'liis speech here.'For instance, in referring to the so-called Sherman silver law' he said that it was enacted in response to the demand of the southern cotton planters for more money and a system of ware house receipts. No statement farther from the truth in regard to the’origin of that banting of John Sherman’s could have been made. It is known to every one who has given the matter the least attention that the Sherman law' was an invention of that wiley old schemer to induce certain western senators to vote for the McKinley tariff bill. The senators of the inter-mountain and Pacific states were urging legislation in favor of silver and had expressed a determination to vote against the tariff bill if silver was not taken care of. Sherman appeased them with the silver purchase bill, and while he w'as securing the passage of the McKinley law,according to his|in variable custom, he put in a good thing for Wall and Lombard streets. He devised the idea of stacking up si.ver liars in the vaults of the treasury and issuing ceniticates to enable the greedy money sharks to drain the treasury of gold and force bond issues. This same John Sherman has done more injury to the country than all the pestilences, cyclones and Moods that over seourgeo it.

Grins While he Says:

That John Rouser’s meeting last night w’as a rouser sure enough Wonder if the gold hugs will again ask James Hillis, “tire kind of populist we like to see” play the life. * *

MONKEY SIGNS BOND. VlrKiiilit Ih Told to the Peace t»n(1 Im DtochtiriscMi. Virginia, a desjierate monkey arrested for biting Edward Lawall, was ordered to sign a |>en<-e bond by Justice Hull, of Chicago, and the elerk of the rourt, taking his honor at his word, compelled the intelligent little aniiiMU to hold the pen and make its mark, Edward i« a messenger boy for Mandel Bros., and while he was delivering goods at .'I'lle Bhodcsavenue, LouisC'n|>ra, an organ grinder, sent his monkey to the hoy for u donation. The lad backed out of the way, and the monkey followed him. finally elimbing up on bis back and seprehing his |>ookcte. Edward t/sik fright and tried to get the monkey to descend, but instead of do-

ing so it buried Its sharp little teeth in his arm, making an ugly wound. Officer Lacy arrested both the monkey and its proprietor, and they were arraigned before Justice Hall at the Thirty-fifth street station. The boy' told bis story, and the justice insisted on seeing the monkey. “Is tliat the one that bit you?” he usked. “Yes,” replied the Iviy, “it’s the same one.” The bright-eyed little monkey put its paw on the lioy’s shoulder and chattered away. “Put him on the desk; let me see him;” said the justii'e. Capra pointed at Justice Hull, anil the intelligent animal sprang upon an open book on the desk, and then on the justice’s shoulder; his honor threw up his hands and tried to back away, but the red-coated monkey was unabashed and liegnn going through his honor’s vest Jioekets in a business-like way. The greenbacks were thrown aside, but the familiar nickels and |icn-nii-A quickly found their way to Virginia’s mouth, and then she scampered back to her master and began placing them in his coat, pocket while eiery one in the court-room roared with laughter; even the. court smiled as the monkey looked at him. “Well, bless my soul!” said bis honor. Capra’s witnesses testified that the monkey had never bitten anyone else, and his honor said: “Let him sign a bond to keep the |icaoe.” “Is dat the piece wot he bit out my arm?” indignantly asked 1h« small Ixiy who h:ul been bitten, and the docket was cleared for the next case. WHEELED TO DEATH. <’3-rllst TnUrn Chloral iiud Hi,Ion Until He Falls off liyinm It was left to Roy Woodcock, a young Snn Francisco wheelman, to evolve a fearsoin- bicycling novi Ity — voluntarily K[xnding one's dying moments on a wheel. Mr. Woodcock was 32 years old. lie came to Los Angelos from San Francisco ten months ago, and being n clever wheelman easily got employment with the Pacific Cycle company, on South Broadway. He was a tinelv educated fellow, n graduate of the universities of New York and Heidelberg, was a finished musician and g, nfteniiui in all his instincts. But he was a drunkard. Rev. E. P>. Brninerd, of Oil West Eleventh street, became interested in him, took him into his home and sought to break him of Intemperance. Medicinal advice was sought and chloral was prescribed to brace the patient’s broken nerves. The young man

sought to bear himself manfully and to abandon the cup, but bis will bad been so far w eakened that he could not resist the craving for intoxicants. As this was borne in upon him he grew more and more despondent, and lately he announced a determination to make one more resolute effort in the right direction, staking his life on the result. He»niadc the effort and failed. Next morning, after dressing, he swallowed the contents of his bottle of chloral and rode off to a drug store ami iad the vial refilled. He immediately drank all the second lot, and then mounting his wheel hastened down Figueroa street, the favorite scorching resort, of the city. At the corner of Thirty-second street his wheel was seen to give a lurch and In fell off, striking the curbstone and badly cutting his forehead. He lay there unconscious and some bystanders summoned the patrol wagon, but when the |inline arrived he was dead.
