FORESTS of valuable timber have re-
Gently been discovered In localities
along the Mexican Pacific Coast only
fifteen or twenty miles from the sea-
board. Mr.. JOHN G. GIRDINa of San
Francisco visited Mexico not long
since to examine the valuable woods
of that country and found immense
quantities OF fine black walnut located
as above stated and obtained from the
Mexican Government exclusive right
thereto. Tres Maria Island Is also
embraced In the grant. The trees are
very large and cover great area. The
wood can be laid down In San Fran
cisco at cost of SOS per thousand and
now commands $3.50. There Is also
lockwood, prinsivera, rosewood, tiger.
wood, mohogony and many other va
rieties. A company is to be organized
to import these woods.

New YORK, Oct. 18TH. There was a
large crowd at the Cooper institute
last night to hear General Butler OIL
the corrency question. Butler opened
by stating that he subject of the eve
ning's remarks were finance, not in
the narrower Specification of the word
but in the broader and wider interpre-
tation of the word which imposed up
on the Government the duty of provi-
ding for the people a staple and uni
form form Of exchange. This was a
standard of value to which all busi-
ness transactions could be referred,
and which should be fixed and unal-
terabe. The speaker then compared
several systems of currency, from the
ancient Greek to the present, arguing
therefrom that the market value of
gold as standard for the value of cur
rency was false. The value of lands
depended upon productions and title;
without the former it was valueless.
After reviewing at length the several
systems of paper currency in use both
by governments and commercial men;
Butler argued that such systems bas-
ed on secure foundation, whether of
national AID business capital, was the
best and most convenient system.
The greenback had more stability
than gold and silver, inasmuch as it
was not subject to the fiuctuation of
markets, but bore fixed value, guar
anteed by a responsible party. But
Ter then discussed the question of in
terest for the use of paper for currency
that bore distinctive market value,
arguing that the rate ofinterest charg-
ed was to high. He would have the
government send back the banks as
fast as they are paid into the treasury
all bonds held as security for circula.
ton, substituting therefor their own
legal tender notes. He closed by say
ing, III stand here on an inconvertible
paper money, for currency by which
the business of 40,000,000 of people is
safely and successfully carried on. |
stand by that money, therefore, which
is by far the better agent and instru-
ment of exchange of an enlightened
and free people than gold and silver,
the money alike of the barbarian and
the despot."

Men That Mean Business.

AS per notice given through the
press an assessment was called In on
the capital stock of the Farmers and
Merchants, bank of Los Angeles, pay
able on the 18th instant. 1t was met
forthwith by the resident and nom

that on the day fixed for payment
there was not one delinquent. This
is the way to meet emergencies, and
speaks volumes for the business stand

The Old Dodge Again.

The question Of the appointment of
Superintendent of the State Insane
Asylum at Stockton in place of the
present incumbent, DR.. SHURTLEF, is
receiving the attention of several OF
our contemporaries. and as before when
this subject has been broached, Re-
publican journals are presenting the
argument that the place should be re-
garded as on-political-that qualifi-
cations and competency, not politics,
should be the recommendation that
place man in that position and keel
him there. We have no objections to
offer against the theory of this argu-
ment, but it is, practically considered,
absurd and untenable. Assuming
that this plan could be carried out, II
follows that man appointed on his
merit and outside of political conside-
rations should have the good sense
and taste to maintain a non-politlcal
course, taking sides with neither one
nor the other of the political organi-
cations of the day. DR.. SHURTLEF
has not done this. SO far from 1t, he
has been and is one of the most active
Of political partisans. Since his ap-
pointment as Superintendent of the
Stockton asylum he has been the
brains and energy, the leader, in fact,
of the Republican party of San Joa-
quin county. At times none but Re.
publicans could obtain employment at
the asylum, and the employee who
was found to have voted the Demo
cratic ticket soon lost his position.
Yet in the face of this unjust partizan
regime the qualification point was
urged go strongly upon Gov. HAIGHI
that he would not consent to SHURT-
LEF's removal. DIR. TITUs, the ablest,
most patient and painstaking medical
man who ever held position in that
asylum, was appointed first assistant
pnySlcIdn, DuJ lie WAS DelllOCIut,dDu
SHURTLEF and his henchmen never
rested until they secured his removal
Now OF competency. 1t is not true
that SHURTLEF is the best man in the
State for the position he holds. Or
the contrary there are hundreds, per.
haps thousands, of physicians in the
State in every way better qualified fol
Asylum Superintendent than he. His
long residence among the unfortunate
insane has made him callous to theil
misfortunes and skeptical as to the
possibility of cure. He looks around
upon the hundreds of blank, emotion'
less faces with the cold Indifference
that marks the graveyard glance Of
the old sexton. He has been there
too long-has outlived his usefulness
and outside of political considera.
| tions should be retired. Let him be
succeeded by some one to whom in.
sanity has not become an old story
and who will study its phases and
characteristics and possibly effect al
occasional cure.

HOWEVER much wemay desire to
encourage habits of regularity among
artisans or tradesmen it is mani
festly beyond the power of the Com
mon Council to interfere with any
particular branch Of business as re-
quested by the petition of number
of BARRIERS Of Los Angeles. The city
authorities may declare thatal places
of business shall be closed on Sunday,
but cannot legally compel particular
individuals to cease work at certain
time on Sunday. Still less can they
interfere with the hours OF business
during the week.

The Constitutional Convention

AT the last election the people of
this State were to vote for or against
the holding of constitutional conven-
tlon but 1t seems they did not all do so
and because they did not the legal
magnates decide that the proposition
for convention did not carry. 1t is
claimed we believe that a majority of
all the votes cast, not for or against
a convention, but majority of the
total vote was necessary to calling a
convention. We doubt the correct
ness of this conclusion. Suppose one
hundred thousand votes were polled
for Governor but from ten thousand
bal lots the names of candidates for
Lieutenant Governor had been omit
ted and neither of the candi dates for
that office received fifty thousand votes
would the fact that neither of the cam
dldates for Lieutenant Governor re.
ceived a majority of all the votes cast
warrant the assumption that no Lieut..
Governor was elected? On what APP
pears precisely this ground those
whose interest it is not have conven-
ton argue that the call for conven-
tion was defeated. 1t appears to us
that ifo official count 1t is found more
votes were cast for than against q
convention the convention was called
There is no law to compel people to
vote for man or measure, The law
gives men the right of suffrage but it
does not make their refusal to exercise
it an offense or misdemeanor. If the
refusal to vote may be used as an ele-
ment of defeat, fragment of the ag-
gregate vote may control the great
majority where it chances to be near
ly equally divided. We do not see
how We can compel all the voters of
the State to vote for or against con-
vention, and If u majority of all the
votes cast at the general election are
necessary to secure the call, We may
go on voting on this proposition for
the next decade and never succeed in
carrying 1t out. We should not be
surprised If the people are not being
trfied with In this convention matter.

Political CoDJectures.
CHICAGO, October 15th.-A WASH
ington special says that among the
important questions bound to occupy
a considerable share of the attention
of the Democratic House Of Repre-
sentatives is the statues of the Ma
tional Banks. An examination of the
official record of Congress since the
war shows a remarkably small pro-
portion of Democratic votes cast on
any question affecting the currency
which could by implication even be
considered as favorable to the Nation
al Bank system in any respect There
is scarcely leading Democratic poll.
tician in or out of Congress who has
not taken occasion when it offered to
denounce the National Banks as a
monopoly. Such men as Senator
Bayard have never omitted an effort
to remove the restriction on State
banks. This opposition to the Ma
tional Bank system does not involve
the question of imitation, for both hard
and soft money Democrats are very
generally united. 1t is expected that
before many weeks of the next ses-
sion have passed an onslaught on the
National Banks will be inaugurated
in the House, and the best informed
politicians here expect TO see opposi-
tion to National banks made leading
feature of the Notional Democratic
Congress. Whatever adverse action
to the banks may be taken, it would
as matter of course be entirely inop-
erative while Republican President
and Republican Senate remain in
power. In addition to this it is not
certain, even If the Democrats had en-
tire possession Of the government,
whether they would agree on the de-
tails of legislation concerning finances
which would have to follow necessa-
rily wiping out Of the present sys-
tenn. The soft money Democrats have
always pressed for substitution of
greenbacks for National bank notes.
The hard money Democrats are will
ing to compel the banks to withdraw
their notes, but they are intlexibly
opposed to any further issues of green
backs.
