J. Holt, the Sun Jose Capitalist,
Will Sue the .Southern
I'ucillr.
Sail Francisco F.xamiiicr, July 22:
"J II Holt, the capitalist, who lives al
333 South F.leveulh Street, Sail Jose,
is confined to a room in the R.s
House, on Ninth street, Oakluud, as a
j result of an accident at the Oakland
mole. Holt is seventy-one years old,
I and Is iu a bad way. While standing
! on the platform of a car bo was
knocked down by a sudden jar of the
train and hi foot was crushed between
the bumpers, rendering amputation
uecessary.
Mr Holt litis employed lawyers and
will sue the Southern raelllu Com
puny for tlH,(XiO damages. The enpi
talist says that the accident was due
to the negligence of the railroad men.
He further asserts that after be had
been injured he was persecuted by the
railroad detectives. Ho.t has money
and he knows how to make a tight.
He says that whether or not begets
any damage be Intends to excise
the uicthiMls r the Southern, I initio
Company.
"1 have often heard about the
methods of the Southern Puclllu Com
pany." said Mr Holt yesterday, "hut
I UioiK'lit ihai things had Ix'cn a little
exaumnited. Now that 1 have had
exericnee w ith them I am ready to
believe all that Is said about lt. The
way I have la-en treated I an outrage.
I had Important business In Oregon so I
took advantage of the cheap rate and
bought a ii ticket to Portland last
Friday. I came up from San Jose and
went to the mole to take the Portland
llycr. NoboJy was around to direct
me where to go. 1 got on a train and
entered a sleeper and the porter put
me out. Then I went Into the next
ear and a porter put me out of that.
Tlicv passed me down the lino and
finally told me to get oil the train as I
was on the wrong line. Then a por
ter told me my tr ilu wns on an ad
Joining track and 1 got alioard and
found all the iUmiis of thecals locked.
"Finally a big man came rushing by
tho cat w here 1 was sUudlng and a
porter told me that ho was the con
ductor. I had a lug basket In my
baud and I ran after the conductor,
but he went s i fast I onuld not catch
him. It was within 20 minutes of the
lime (or tin- titiiu to start. Finally I
saw souie people getting on the plat
form of the train and I followed them
as they were noing to the same point
a I was. When we got on the plat
form we found the cur disirs lis-ked
and iioiio of us could get In. There
was nobody on hand to direct
the passengers and they had
to struggle for themselves While
I was standing onthe platform w hen
ail engine. t.unisd into the traiu
ami 1 was knocked down and my IimiI
was crushed. I was hustled to the
R-ceivliig liospiihl and while under
going great pain a railroad detective
hounded ami Hrsccutcd me.
"He said to me, 'You know (hut this
accident was due to your own care
lessness.' I told him that I kn-w
nothing ol the kind, and requested
ti 1 in to mind his own busiuesi. Any
how he badgered me about my name.
Then the railroad people sent a tele
gram to my wife ami told her I was
only slightly hurt. They telegraphed
her a pass ana wnen sue weni 10 mi
shit Ion tho agent handed her out a
pass and told her to sign It. Sho said
that If her husband was Inlured by his
own carelessness she would not take a
pass on the road. 1 ho agent replied:
'Well, I have orders to give you one.
You know it Is our policy M pet imople
these days.'
"Mr Holt did not understand me
situation and she took the puss and
rode to Oakland on It. When Hne ar
rived here she found that she was the
victim of a railroad conspiracy in re
gurd to tho pass. Now I am going to
have satisfaction from the rought treat
ment." McMluiiTllle's Light and Water.
The following is taken from yester
day's Oregonluu:

Harlon K Bundy died at Junction
City, Lane county, Oregon, on July
10, 1800, aged 70 years, 10 months and
27 day. Mr Bundy was one of the
honoruble and old-tlmo settlers of
Lane county and he married an elder
sister of Mr M A Alfred, ol this city,
and of Henry and James Hollinan of
Kugenc, two prominent citizens of
that city. The funeral service were
held at Junction City on July 20th,
and tho Interment lsk place at Moll

be placed upon the life am! character
of tho deceased while living, and to
his friends and relutive this fact will
be a consolation.

said:
"The atrociou crimo of being a
young man, which thu honorable
gentleman has with such spirit and
decency charged upon mo, 1
shall neither attempt to palliate
nor deny; but content myself
with wishing 1 may bo ono of
those whoso follies may cease with
their youth, and not of those who
continue ignorant in spite of ngo
and experience.
"Whether youth can beattributed
to any man us a reproach, I will
not, Sir, assume tho province of de
termining; but surely ngo may
justly become contemptible, if tho
opportunity which it brings have
passed away without improvement,
ami vice, nppcar t- prevail when
the passions liavo Biibsiilcd. The
w retell who after having seen tho
oonscipucnccs of a thousand crrorB,
continue!) still to blunder, and in
whom age has only added obstinacy
to stupidity, is surely tho object of
abhorrence or contempt, and do
serves uot that his gray head should
secure him from insult. Much
more, Sir, is ho to be abhorred, who
as he ha advanced in ngo, hns ro
ccilcd from virtue, and becamo
more wicked with less temptation;
who prostitutes himself for money
which ho cannot enjoy, and spends
thu remainder of his lilo in the
ruin of his country.
l'AHLK'8 I'KKPICTION.
Hen. T. Cable, of Illinois, one of
tho gold democrats who opposed
the platform adopted hv two-thirds
of his pnrty at Chicago, is frank
enough to admit that tho main
issue is a vital ono, nud liablo to
make trouble in tho Kant. In a
recent interview ho used theso
words:
"This silver crazo is now going
to grow. It is going to become as
dominant in tho ICast as it is today
in tho West. Tho gentlemen from
tho ICast with whom I havo talked
Jo not teem to rcalizo the peculiar
quality of tho silver mania. It is
worso than tho 'grip.' Tho con
tagion is in tbo air. I am not pre
pared to state what will occur in
tho Kastern states, but I do say,
after a thorough tour of this state,
that Illinois will give a democratic
majority of 50,000 for a free Bilvcr
candidate,"
This from tho great Rock Islund
II. K. magnate is pretty conclusive
evidence, and we hopo will prove
true.
BRYAN'S WOKUS.
With tho following words W. J.
Bryan closed his speech in the
Chicago convention, tho making of
which did much to maku him the
nominco of the democratic party;
"My friends wo shall declare
that this nation is ablo to legislate
for its people upon every question
without waiting for the consent of
any other nation on earth, and
upon that issuo wo expect to carry
every state in this country. It
is tho issue of 177G over again.
Our ancestors, who when 3,000,000
in number, dcclorod thoir inde
pendence of every nation on earth.
Shall wo when grown to 70,000,000,
have less courage? If they say we
cannot have bimctalism until some
other nation assists, wo reply; We
will restore bimutalisni and let
Kngland adopt it becaUHO the
United States has led thb way.
we shall answer their demands for
a gold stan jard by saying to tht-in
you shall not press down upon the
brow of labor this crown of thorns.
You shall not crucify mankind
upon a cross of gold."
Ilazlett the pilgrim printer who
has been going up and down this
coast lor thirty or forty years is
again coining this way from the
north. Tho McMinnvillo TranB
script says: His beard is almost
snowy whito and his locks now
hang in long ringbta about his
neck, whito with tho frost of many
winters. His Btep is less sprightly
than twenty years ago, his should
ers begin to droop, when he walks
the streets his head is bowed as if
ho is in deep meditation. Ilazlett,
the "pilgrim print," who lias, "hit
the road" moro miles and "counted
more railroad tics" than any man
in this country, and whose annual
visit to every printing office in the
northwest is regular, has been in
town this week. Tho poor old fel
low is old and feeble and should go
to tho home for aged and infirm
printers.

Buck In this
Tho Suci.'.iHi uto i;.v, ono uf tlio
most influential Republican papers
of the lioldon (late state, says the
ail ytion of tho gold standard plank
at St. l.ouis will caue California
to be lost to MvKinlcy by 10,000
votes.
Taeotua has a fpiuly and inex
pensive way cf settling election
contests. When ono is pending
somebody breaks in and steals tho
ballots and further proceedings aro
brought to an end.
There were twenty-three frco
coinugo representatives in tho New
York delegation in the Chicago
convention whoso voico was hushed
by tho unit rulo forced upon them
by the state convention.
Garret A. Hobart, tho republican
nominco for vice president, bolted
tho nomination of James (i, Hlaino
and supported (Sen. 11. 1'. Hutler
for president. There is a slight
suspicion that tho state of Maino
will not givo an unusually large
majority for.McKinley next Novem
ber. If on editor haves his desk for
twenty-four hours he is always ac
cused of something unusual. It
serves him right. Ho should toil
right along during tho olio days
in the year nt his dck, and never
utter a complaint. An editor ia de
serving of a "crown of gold'' in the
future world if not on this earth.
It is amusing to see tho "small
fry" Republican svcallod frco sil
ver pipers hedging now in order to
support McKinlcy on his einglo
gold standard plat lor in for presi
dent, says the Kpigram. Honest
and conscientious people havo
greater respect for such a paper as
tho Orrgonian, which has fought
along that lino all tho time, than
for theso little vacillating sheet
that seem too cowardly to stand for
principle.
Everything indicates that Mark
Ilannais beginning to real izo tho
immensity of tho contract ho has
taken. Ho is making overtures to
soiiio of his opponents in onlcr to
get their assistance. Mr. llanna
admits having spent 1100,000 to
nominate McKinlcy, and says
nearly two-thirds ot it was his own
money. Does any sano man sup
poso that I Inn nu doesn't expect to
mako money by that investment, if
ho can land McKinlcy a winner.
There will bo thrco clcrgyinon in
tho next legislature, the Rev. Mr.
Driver, tho Rev. Henry Barclay
and tho Rev. Mr. Mulkey, of Polk.
Driver and Rarkloy aro lreo silver
mon, and Mr. Mulkey is a gnldbug.
Tho prayers of Driver and llarkley
will bo for freo silver and that of
Mulkey for gold, and although no
ono accuses Mulkey of being over
stocked with religion, yet it is
likely that his prayer will out
weigh tho othor two, and that the
legislature will go for gold.
These are tho words of Mr. Glad
stone, tho towering English states
man: "Tho whole world owes us
interest on industrial, town state
and nation sticks and bonds.
That is pay ablo in gold. Establish
bimetallism, and you will cut En
gland's income in two. You will
benefit the rest of tli world, and
England will loso half tho revenue
sho now receives from capital in
vested beyond her shores," Those
remarks were mado one evening in
tho IIoupo of Commons and voico
the Bontiment of the money lenders
of Lombard street. No wonder tho
English shylocks are highly elated
over tho nomination of McKinlcy,
Col Alloy, of tho Raker City Re
publican, intimates that tho Ore
gon Press Association is a political
organization. The president of
body is a republican, as was his
predecessor; tho chairman of tho
exocutive committee is a republican
and tho majority of the delegates
to tho national convention were of
that faith. All tho committees aro
appointed and republicans have
made theso selections for the past
two years. .Mr. Alley should
correct his libellous article or be
"thrown out" of tho association.
Tho assertion that the democrats
control tho body is falso and Mr.
Alley is aware of this, or should bo.
By the way, tho Dolph republicans
claim that Mr Alley is a populist
masquerading under a mask.
There is much in tho democratic
platform to bo admired. It is a
consistent platform. It doclures
for freo silver, the incomo tax and
protection for revenue. These are
children of tho same parents.
They are fit associates and smoothly
run one into tho other. They are
evils all thrco but thoy aro reme
dies and palliatives for still greater
evils. Retwpon evils mon have to
shoso tho leaBt. Tho platform
will prove popular, it will bo Btrong
with the people Tho avorage citi
zon and voter will find littlo to
condemn in the platform, while
much to commend. It certainly
reflects tho voice of tho people; it
certainly recognize their right and
influences; it certainly shows sym
pathy for thorn. In this respect it
is a democratic platform and one
that strongly appeals to tho great
mass of the plnin piople.
