The democrats are going to make this a money spending campaign, and for that reason have temporarily let up in their denunciation of trusts, while they get funds from those trust magnates who have been persuaded j to cast their lot w ith democracy. It is noticed that Taggart did not place 'Seantor Gorman on the execu tive committe as expected. Instead he announced that the "campaign com mittee as expected. Instead he an nounced that the "campaign com' ymittee will bive the advice of Sena tor Gorman's judgment and expert ence in the campaign." Taggart con eluded that as members of the party stand ready to spring his Infamous political record. the minute he be comes identified with the campaign in any official capacity it was un safe to handicap Parker. A SALOON OR A "BLIND PIG." ' Since the local option law was adopted at the June election, prohi ' bltionists have apparently been rather Inactive, but we have it from relia ble sources that while they are not making much noise they are doing a lot of planning, and propose to call (or a vote on prohibition next No Tember in every county in the state where local option carried or where the vote was close last June. One of the prohibition leaders of this county stated a few days ago that a vote would be petitioned for here aa soon as the leaders should determine whether to call for prohi bition in the entire county, or wheth er to confine' it to certain precincts. This has not yet been settled among them, but it is certain that a vote either for part or all of the county will be demanded. This much beine determined it is not out of place to discuss some of il can not be transmitted from one THE MYSTERY OF CANCER. The mystery of death Is as unsol liable as ever, and the light thrown by modern research upon the ave nues that lead to it seems to be lost in the darkness of terror. We ball each day a new discovery, either of the serum which will cure tubercu losis, or of the ray which will extir pate a parasite, or of the elixir able to freshen our vital powers beyond the drag of senility. Lately we have rejoiced because we thought that can cer, the most fatal of all diseases, had been at last tracked to its source. But the report of the English Gen eral Committee of the Cancer Re search Fund throws us once more back upon the mystery. We do not know what cancer is, how it origi nates, how it grows, or how to kill it. The conclusions of this committee, composed of the eminent of British physicians and surgeons, tell us this: cancer is not an infectious ailment, species to another, it is not caused If the enactment of a prohibi- u-v a i"ue. " oi sen-propagation, vt oy it anjicts the features and effects of prohibi tion tion law would prevent the sale and use of intoxicants there would be some excuse for its enactment. But experience has taught that prohibi tion does not prohibit. It simply transfers the business from the bond ed and licensed dealer to the irre sponsible dealer who sells intoxicants in violation of law. Which the peo ple want they will probably have an opportunity to say at the next elec tion. But before they express them selves it would be well for them to consider which is safest for the com munity, the licensed saloon or the "blind pig." One is under bond to conduct an orderly house, to not sell to habitual one person and not another, we do not know. The sole remedy advocated by the surgeons of the committe is immedi ate operation. No medicine has the slightest effect. Once seized upon by the disease the patient has but one recourse, and that a perilous one, the knife. Serum, radium, the X-ray, are useless. The cancerous growth is a living organism, and it is not a ques tion of extinguishing a poison in the blood, but of killing a living thing. San Francisco has only lately been heralded as the greatest cancer place in the United States. This was shown by statistics to be false, but the fact remains that here is the rendevoux rinink arris or minors, and bv reason of competition 1c forced to deal inof ,he afflicte(i of a whol coast- and reasonably pure goods.

We de- money are right because they mean continued progress and prosperity for all the people. Delegates to a condition may be fooled in making a platform and nam ing candidats, but no party has ever yet succeeded in fooling the voters at the ballot box. o A plea for a change will fall on deaf ears If the voter remembers that the United States had made a remark able advance in all material Interests in the last four years. President Cleveland says that the outcome of the St. Louis convention was due to providence. The general impression is that It was due to a Western Union telegram. o - The Courier concedes Oregon to Roosevelt. After very carefully In vestigating the situation, we will with equal generosity and we think with the same certainty of prediction, give Parker Texas. All railroad transportation to St. Louis and return and $100.00 additional for expenses will be given to the winner of this contest. Conceding that Judge Parker is now sound on the money question, he is handicapped by a party one half the membership of which is still loyal to silver and would try to re-establish it In the currency system in case of Democratic success.

It may be from the stadpoint of Mr. Belmont, but the republicans contend that a Presidential race is run for a principle rather than a money prize. o FRIENDS OF THE MASSES. One of the greatest fallacies of the democratic party for the last eight years has been the apparent aim of its leaders to convince the voters of the country that it is the real and only friend of what Mr. Bryan des ignated as the "common people." In Its last two campaigns the democratic party through its platforms, orators. and newspapers has sought to create the impression that this nation is di vided into daises and that the repub lican pany represents me wemuiy ( siaies, irom neing a inira riasH power tion on th ,,t,o hiwt ,.r ,. un.l.lnn ' ,. ,!,.

(,no of actual platform, adopted at St. Louis, they I denounce protection as robbery. They ! never have been given power but they proceeded by word or act to destroy CAMPAIGN OF BOODLE. Democratic hostility to the trusts bas been temporarily laid aside while the party leaders are scurrying for campaign funds. So anxious are tbe democrats for money with which to carry on their campaign that they nave completely lost sight of party principles and are flirting with tbe very class of men they so bitterly de nounced up to the time of the St. Louis convention. It has been the favorite charge of I the democrats that the republican I party has been friendly to trusts, but j even the republican party does not present so formidable an array of corporation men as party leaders as have been grouped together as officers of the democratic national committee named Thursday by Chairman Tag gart. Delancy Nicoli, vice chairman, is one of the most prominent corpora tion lawyers in New York and rep resents some of the largest trust in terests, while George F. Peabody, the democratic treasurer, iff' s member of one of the largest Wail street bank ing firms. On the executive committee Tag fart has placed four notorious 'cor- sire most earnestly to know why when one man irritates a certain por tion of his body cancer develops; while another man undergoes every thing and comes out scot free. In the absence of positive assur ante that cancer is a specific disease, the best thing we can do, according to tbe committee, is to seek surgical aid. Taken in season tbe growth may be removed and life saved. If we cannot carry our decimal out to a fifth figure, let us at least approxi mate roughly. Tbe wise man and woman will not wait too long, say the surgeons who have studied tbe i matter. So we turn again to the merciful knife. Argonaut. o It is announced that tbe olive branch bas been adopted as tbe new emblem of democraoy. It is not large enough, however, to conceal the axes. "Roosevelt marched up Kettle bill and then marched down again," says the Atlanlat Constitution. True, but he marched down the other side driv ing the enemies of his country's flag ahead of him and off of the American continent the democratic party believes that we no longer have a free Republic, built on tne corner stone guaranteeing me political equality of all American cit izens, but that we have a government of classes, the aristocrats and the plebians. Such a declaration, by a great party organization, is unjust, un-American and a betrayal of Amer ican political faith. Aside, however, from the inappro priateness of the declaration, the as sertion that the democrats propose to reduce the tariff, for the benefit of the masses, will appeal to Intelligent vot ers more as a threat than as a prom ise. Business men, manufacturers, farmers, tradesmen, laborers, all tbe "classes" cannot well forget the fact that the democratic party reduced the tariff a few years ago, when the re publican administration was dismiss ed and democratic guidance accepted in the midst of an era of general prosperity. The memory of that change is stamped in tbe minds of The Republican party for yon and cy system.

Paragraphs from tbe notification address of Speaker Cannon, at Oyster Bay, July 27: We have sometimes made mistakes from a false sense of security or from a desire to change policies Instead of letting well enough alone, merely to laws; a majority may destroy the gold standard and establish tbe silver standard, or, in lieu of either or both, make tbe treasury note, non-Interest bearing and Irredeemable, the sole standard of value. Tbe Republican party stands for protection. It stands for the gold standard and our currency system. AH these dwell in legislation enacted un der tbe lead of the Republican party, Including its leader and candidate. These being our policies, and having been most useful to the country, we Tbe Democratic party has ever boen a prince In promise and a pauper In performance. The St. Louis platform contains a plank promising complete annihilation of the trusts If the Demo crats are given tbe reins of govern ment. This promise bas been dis counted some by tbe assertion of Mr Bryan that "tbe nomination of Judge Parker nullifies the antl-truut declara tion of the convention." But there Is even stronger evidence against hope that the declaration would bear fruit in case of Democratic success. The American people have a habit, doubt less annoying to Democrats, of judg ing of the future by the past, and tbey have not forgotten the record of the Democratic party In dealing with tbe trusts. They were in power when the trusts were in their fullest activity, with the Sherman anti-trust law fresh on tbe statute books. Tbe people were clamoring for regulation of the trusts, for the suppression of unlawful com binations that were controlling tbe necessaries of life, and that at a time when Democratic policies bad reduoed LOW RATES TO CALIFORNIA.
