The Changers Bank.

Although the sheme from its incep-
ton met with studied, systematic
opposition from those whose monopo-
lies its success would destroy, the
Changers Bank proposition continues
to meet public favor, and so far as it
has assumed shape, is entirely satis-
factory to the projectors and all in
whose interests it is intended to oper-
ate. To establish and carry into sue
cessful operation business requiring
such an amount of capital and such
extensive and various preparations as
the Changers State Bank, requires
time not only in the carrying out of
details hut on the part of those intend
ing to deposit their money in its
vaults. The friends of the bank hav-
ing money in other institutions must
necessarily wait the expiration of the
notification of withdrawal before the
money could he transferred from one
bank to the other, and the work of
procuring loans was also retarded by
the adverse influences of rival banks
that feared the effect of the Grangers'
bank on their own business. All these
difficulties have been overcome, and
tomorrow the Great Central Grangers'
Bank will be formally opened in San
Francisco for the transaction Of busi-
ness. Nothing but the worst possible
management will prevent the success
of this bank. 1t is joint stock con-
Germ on a fraternal basis. Every
farmer is interested in it's prosperity.
1t is grand center around which all
will work together 1t is intended to
be unlike any other bank in the world
in this respect: its funds will be de-
voted to the task of doing the greatest
good to the greatest number.

An Active State.

Perhaps, oil things considered, no
State in the Union possesses more
natural advantages in the way Of
climate, soil. means of transportation
furnished by nation, mineral wealth,
variety of temperature, timber supply
and everything that meets the wants
of the human family than this, our ia
vored California. Our climate ranges
from the rarified atmosphere of the
mountain regions where frost is not
uncommon eight months in the year,
and where the period between the dis
appearance and the coming of snow is
not over five months, down to the
tropical region where neither frost
nor snow is ever seen, and where the
corn-field and the orange grove stand
side by side. We have people as ener-
getic and industrious as may be found
on the face of the globe. They are en-
terprising yet not parsimonious. They
are curious and experimental by ma
ture, and spend money freely in agri-
cultural tests and the trial of new en-
terprises. The following from the
California Reporter, one of the few
San Francisco newspapers that either
know or care anything about
the interior of the State tell
the story we'll and truthfully:
"a perusal of the interior papers
would do world of good to those peo-
pie of croaking disposition, who
have little faith in the future of CAL
ifornia. The constant reader of the
country journals is stuck with the
quantity of news in them just now.
Hardly one can be picked up that does
not contain an account of one, or sew
eral, new enterprises in the agricul-
tural, manufacturing, or commercial
way. 1t is evident that like the
Athenians of old, the people of CAL
ifornia have hankering after new
things. The number of agricultural
experiments being made is especially
large. And it is noticeable that most
OF the experiments turn out well.
Tobacco, ramie, and cotton are fast
getting out of the experimental stage,
and in few years give solid promise
of becoming established industries.
Any one who reads our Progress of
the Interior for few months, will
become convinced that the people of
the State are keeping their weather
eye open to the main chance, and have
no intention of letting outsiders walk
off with the profits, if they themselves
can manage to keep them. Our Or
chardsts, particularly, are showing an
appreciation of the benefits of doing
ones own work. All over the State
they have, within the past few
months, been clubbing together and
setting up fruit-drying machines.

REV. b. s. Caldwell recently made
a speech in Syracuse, New York, in
which he denounced Masonry, Odd
Fellowship, the Grange and all other
secret organizations, with the vim
dictiveness of one who has been black
balled in every secret society that
ever existed, and the ignorance of a
baboon lecturer on the science of as
tronomy. He said he opposed Ma
sonry because it was secret society.
Christ told his disciples to SO and
preach his gospel publicly to all the
world; but Masonry says. elf you di-
vulge any of my doctrines will anni-
hilate you" He opposed it because it
exacts oaths from men without divine
or civil sanction. 1t swears men to do
wrong and enforces the obligations by
by the most terrible penalties. In the
course of his TRADE the Rev. idiot as
serted that his father was killed by
the Masons forty-seven years ago. 1t
is highly probable that it was the fool
killer in place OF the Masons that made
away with the old man, and it is a
pity he did not perform his duty about
twelve months before the date of Rev.
B. S. CALDwELLS birth.

Unequal Taxation.

EDITOR HERALD: l am the owner
OF land in Los Angeles, San Francisco
and Santa Barbara counties, and hav-
ing had occasion to examine the as
sessment roll for Los Angeles county,
1 find remarkable difference in the
assessed value of similar properties in
the different counties. I find farming
land assessed at $50 an acre here, while
similar lands, equally valuable, are
assessed in Santa Barbara county at
SO per acre, and in San Francisco
county at S12 per acre. Grazing lands
of equal value are assessed here at two
to four dollars per acre, and in Santa
Barbara and other counties they are
assessed at seyenty-five cents to two
dollars. Buildings in Los Angeles
city are assessed at valuation double
that of San Francisco. | know one
man in San Francisco who owns over
$4,000 worth of horses, who is as
sessed for three horses valued at 81, 200.
Another, who owns one team worth
$4,000, is assessed for 5000 And
these are but two cases out of thous-
ands to be found upon the assessment
roll of that city. Again, San Fran
cisco has an enormous amount of un-
paid taxes-uncollected through the
carelessness or favoritism of her Off
cials. This, of course, makes the bur-
den heavier on those who do pay.
Mark the injustice done Los Angeles
county! She is paying State taxes far
in excess of other counties; and COM
pared with San Francisco she is pay
ing double the taxes upon actual cash
values. Is there no remedy for this
other than to adopt the same standard
of value in vogue in other parts of the
State? FAIR PLAY.

Communicated

To the Editors Of the Independent !:
Ny business the past few weeks
required me to travel pretty we'll
over your entire county, and to
make the acquaintance of a large
majority of your citizens. From
this experience and observation /
am proud to say that Berkeley
county is second to none in the
State in point ofintelligent, thrifty
and progressive citizens, rich and
fertile lands, capable of vast pro-
dnction, and in my opinion, we'll
filed with rich and profitable ores.
There is one great objection, how
ever, and that is the farms are
too large, and in attempting to
cultivate too much land some crops
are neglected and the consequence
is a poor yield. Remedy this and
the farm houses will be more nu-
merous, and in the course of few
years development your county
would equal any comfy in any
Northern, Western or Southern
States.
1t was a source qualification to
find the Weekly Independent at
almost every farm house, and you
should be proud to know when
ever it was spoken of it was al
ways praised as the best and most
popular paper ever published in
Berkeley county. Interested
somewhat in literary matters, it
did me good to find the people
reading and praising a live, healthy
and Independent journal, though
when one reads your paper it is
no longer a surprise to know that
it is SO generally patronized. / go
into some of the western counties
now, and will write you again.
Yours truly,
OBSERVER.

BERNARD DOLL

Bernard Doll, SO we'll known
and so highly esteemed by the cit
liens Of this town anu county died
on last Saturday morning.
He was born in Martinsbnrg,
and his life, from the cradle to the
grave, was spent in this commu-
nifty; and nearly at the close ofthe
sixty-fifth year Of his existence,
the grey-haired veteran, the plain
citizen, the honorable, upright
man, the faithful, trustworthy
friend and counsellor, and the
steady, devout christian will be
followed to the tomb with the pray
ers of all the people. 1t is doubt
full If any man ever has, or ever
will live in Martinsburg, enjoying
SO much of public confidence and
esteem. Though living and NOV
ing ina smaller sphere than men of
national reputation, still Bernard
Doll, in every estimable element,
and in all necessary attributes, was
the peer of any man. He served
for years as a magistrate, and
whilst occupying the position,
transacted the grea -er part of the
business of the town, which usu-
ally goes to Justices office; and
being respected for purity of
thoughtand honesty ofpurpose, his
decisions were never impugned.
He was for years the Receiver of
the Circuit Court, and consequent
ly entrusted with large sums of
money, which he faithfully man
aged. He also served the people
acceptahly and creditably as Re
corder of the county, as well as in
other minor positions. He was
never an irritable or fretful man,
and when informed by his physi-
clan, fully three weeks before his
death that the disease would inev-
itably prove fatal, he received the
Information with the quiet hero
ism of soldier of the cross, and
clothed in the armor of an abiding
religious faith, he with a chris
tian's meekness and fortitude
waited for the end, sure OF spot
less robes and rest for ever be-
yond the grave.
We would impress this simple
testimonial to departed worth up
on the living. Especially would
we ask the young men to follow
his example and practice his vir-
tues. It's our deeds, good or evil,
that live after us; and being free
moral agents, it is for us to deter
mine. whether we will SO live, that
some friendly pen will trace a
parting tribute TO our usefulness,
and not be compelled to shroud
our memory with the dark mantle
of charitable silence
