The Herald and the Fair.

Our contemporaries are wild at the
course pursued by the HERALD, con-
cerning the Fair. 1t is so unusual for
them to find in their midst journal
advocating that which it believes, that
they are amazed, and the morning
papers amazement is only exceeded
by its vituperation.
1t is with no spirit of caviling that
the cudgel has been taken up against
what we deem the mismanagement
in the Fair. To every editor, and es-
pecially to those of the HERALD, it is
pleasanter to approve than to con-
demn. Especially is this the case
concerning an institution, which num-
bers among its stockholders our best
friends and the best citizens of Los
Angeles. We are actuated by no
animosity, and no personality shall be
forced into the columns of the HER
AID. Our record is honorable; we
shall not blush If it be published from
the house tops.
We have said the directors of the
Fair number some of our best friends,
and the most worthy citizens of Los
Angeles. But they are not Irresponsible
for the faults that exist; they decry
them but feel powerless to remedy
them. A large majority of the stock
holders, to-day, would prefer to see it
managed in manner laulcally differ
ent from the present. Some of the
many letters we have published, some
that have wakened the fiercest oppo-
sition, have been from the brains Of
stockholders.
The editors of the HERALD have no
antipathy to horse racing. 1t matters
little to them if the citizens of Los
Angeles choose to spend few hours
or days in trying the mettle of the
racers, and if perchance they shall de-
velop remarkable feetness, the
HERALD will rejoice with them, just
as when fine building is erected or a
public park laid out. But it may not
be amiss to state that anything above
2:5O, or perhaps 2:4O, is not good speed.
Perhaps, though, our ignorance of the
turf has led US into error. But what
is demanded now is an agricultural
fair, an industrial fair; fair that will
exhibit the products and industries of
Southern California. With a series of
races we have no fight; let those who
enjoy them have all they want. But
we do think an agricultural fair, one
that will educate and stimulate the
farmer, will be of untold more value
to the community than all the races
which can be run. Let not the associa-
tion or its self-appointed managers
usurp the place, and the resources, and
the name of an agricultural fair, and
then give us nothing but races. Let
them not go before the Legislature
with plea of assisting industry in
their mouths, and devote the proceeds
which generous State bestows upon
them, in pursuits which do not benefit
the people, directly.
We hear that the society meets to-
day. Whether the advice and the
course of the HERALD be approved by
them, We know not; but we do feel
assured, from the depth of our con-
viction, that they will weigh well the
complaints which have been made.
That the demands of the industrious
classes will be considered and their
complaints adjusted, we have every
reason to hope. If this be not done,
Los Angeles and the association will
be the losers.

AN IMPORTANT SUIT DECIDED.

The Chattanooga Times OF the 9th inst.
says: We gave the leading points in a suit
of w. l.. Sprayberry VS.. the Nashville and
Chattanooga Railroad Company in Tues
days Times. The plaintiff bought in this
city, of the agent of the railroad company,
an emigrant ticket for himself, wife and
two children. The ticket contracted to
transport them to Shreveport, La. They
went from here by rail to Memphis, and
there were transferred at the direction of
the company and in accordance with the
tenor of their ticket, to a steamboat bound
for their final destination. A storm struck
the boat while on the Mississippi river.
She was blown across the river near the
shore, where she struck mass of drift and
crushed to pieces and sunk, drowning
Sprayberry's wife and two children. 1t was
charged by the plaintiff that the officers OF
the boat, when the gale struck her, shut Off
steam and let her drift at the mercy Of the
winds, and the proof seemed to pretty thor
oughly sustain the charge, thus making
case of gross careleSsness or incompetency
against her officers. The steamboat own
ers are not pecuniarily responsible, hence
suit was brought in our Circuit Court
against the party selling the ticket. The
case occupied two days, and yesterday the
Jury returned verdict for the plaintiff, as
sessing damages at S13,S60.

FISHING.
BY GEORGE A. BAKER, JR'


"Harry, where have you been all morning?''
"DoHn at the pool in the meadow-brook,"
ssFishing?" srYes, bat the trout were wary
Couldn't induce them TO take hook"
"Why, look at your eOan You must have
fallen.
Your backs all covered with leaves and
moss"
How he laughs, goOd-natured fellowl
Bad luck fishing makes most men cross.
smelly, the wrights have called-where were
yOu?"
"Under the trees by the meadow-brook,
Reading, YOU know, and 1t was too lovely;
never saw such charming book"
The charming book has pleased her greatly;
There's happy light III her sweet blue eyes,
And she hugs the cat in most fervid fashion,
To staid old Tabby's intense surprise.
Reading? well, yes, but not from a novel.
Fishing? truly, but not with a rod.
The line is idle, the book neglected;
The water-grasses whisper and nod.
The sportsman bold and the earnest student
Talk softly of-what? Perhaps the weather;
Perhaps-no matter; whatever the subject,
1t certainly brings them close together.
1t causes their words to be softly spoken,
With many a lingering pause between,
The while the shadows chase the sunbeams
Over the MOSES gray and green.
Bushes are needful to its discussion,
And soft sly glances from downcast eyes,
In whose blue depths are lying hidden
Loving gladness and sweet surprise.
Trinity Chapel is gay this evening,
Bright with beauty, and flowers, and light;
A full-dressed fisherman stands at the chancel,
With Nelly beside him all in white,
The ring is on, the VOWS are spoken,
And smiling friends, good fortune wishing,
Tell him his is the fairest prize
Ever brought from a mornings fishing.

The effect of such garniture is lovely.
Slippers are now worn on full dress oc-

They are of white kid, or what is still
more stylish, Of black satin, are very
low, instead of the high Marie Anton
cite shape, square toed, trimmed with
lace and beads, and display to advan-
tage the embroidered silk or old-tlme
clicked stockings of thread. Coitiues
consist of soft puffs, feathery curls, and
loose coils worn very high on the head.
A comb of tortoise shell or of gold is
placed far back, or ON one side, and a
single rose resting in the top OF the
puffs is the climax.

Thus, at the end Of panic proper, We find
the loans $50, 469, 900 lower than the week
preceding it, while the deposits have been
reduced S39, 600, and the legal tenders,
$5,S1S,O00. The reduction in the loans
and discounts has involved a corresponding
decline in the deposits, the one being the
contra account OF the other in the bank
ledger; this change in the deposit account,
therefore, is not to be regarded as the with
drawal of so much actually deposited with
the banks, but as the wiping out of so much
credits awarded to dealers on loans. The
decrease in the deposits, therefore, as well
as that in the loans and discounts, repre-
sentS the contraction consequent on the
panic in the amount of accommodation ex-
tended by the banks to their dealers. Com
pairing the return of Saturday with that of
Sept. Is, the decrease in these two items is
almost identical, being S2S,434,000 in the
loans and SIS, $4,000 in the deposits. This
identity between the two movements sug-
gestS the question: If the contraction of
bank loans only reduces cOrrespondingly
the bank deposits and the profits of the
banks, how can forced contraction strength
en- the banks? Rapid, forced, contraction
ruins the debtors of the banks by impeding
the sale and reducing the market value of
the commodities they hold and deal in.
Hence, contraction, instead of strengthen
ing the banks, greatly weakens them by in
jUring their debtors, whose liabilities form
the most important and most available
portion of the bank assets, on which mainly
the banks depend to meet their own liza
bilities to the public.

work of the line, and that their wages may
be paid weekly instead of fortnightly.
The inspectors on the line are seeking an

ten hours, all time worked beyond that to
