Liabilities and Assets.

The assignees of TEMPLE & WORK
MANS bank semi-of1icially announce
that the assets of the bank Will
amount to between 100000 and $780,
600, and that the liabilities will not eX-
ceed 81, 100, 900. If these figures are
correct, and as they appear In the Ee-
press, which seems to have been Sc
lected by the assignees as their Oft ci ii
organ, We presume they are as fur
nished by Messrs. FREEMAN and
SPENCE, 1t looks at first glance as
though thecreditorsof the bank would
receive fraction over fifty cents on
the dollar. But abetter showing than
this must be made or no such per cent.
will bepaid. In the first place con-
siderable proportion Of the assets cam
not be collected, and in the second
place large share of the Indebtedness
is secured by mortgages andamust be
paid dollar for dollar with accruing in-
terest. The Express places its own es-
timate-which we think no more than
it is worth, but certainly more than it
can be made to realize ut forced sale
on the property of Messrs. TEMPLE &
WORKMAN, and after supposing that
100000 may be. realized from the
5000, 900 or 100000 bank assets, gives
figures showingthe firm possessed of
$1,370, 600 assets against 81, 100000 lia-
bilities. Assuming that the total lia-
bilities and the bank assets are cor
rectly stated, this footing is calculated
to mislead the creditors of the firm
The estimate overlooks the fact that
the real estate is mortgaged for per-
haps over half a million dollars, draw
ing interest at probable average rate
of one and one-half per cent. per
month, all of which must be paid in
full. Beside it is simply folly to ex-
pect the land to sell at seventy-five
per cent. Of the price at which it is es-
timated lin order to reach the sum
named above. If the statement of
the assignees approximates the assets
and liabilities given above, it will not
be satisfactory to the creditors. The
assets are too small and the liabilities
too large. People are curious to know
what has been done with the money
1t has been stated that the deposits
amount to 100000, and the loan from
Mr.. BALDWIN exceeded 100000. This
gives 5000, 600 cash. Yet we are i'll
formed that the assets will not exceed
100000 and may fall to $1,000
What has become of the remainder of
the money We repeat that deposit
ors will not he satisfied with this show
ing. They may be excused for insist
ing that there is something rotten in
Denmark. About the only part of the
semi-official statement which the Er-
press published last evening that is en-
titled to credit, is the intimation that
not more than half the notes and
mortgages given as the banks assets
are or will be collectable.

A Railroad Proposition.

The railroad mania has seized the
people of San Luis Obispo, Santa Bar
bara and Ventura counties, and they
propose to ask from the Legislature
permission to issue bonds to the
amount of $5OO.OO0 by each county to
build roads which shall give them a
continuous rail to any part of this
d great American nation. We believe
not one of those counties now contains
a foot of railroad, but if the ability of
the people is at all commensurate with
their zeal they will soon have under
way railroads that will give them the
much desired outlet. The proposition,
as we understand it, is to build 2SS
miles of road to and from the follow
ing points: From San Luis Obispo to
Soledad, Monterey county, la miles;
from San Luis Obispo to Santa Bar
bara, 10l miles; from Santa Barbara
to San Buenaventura, 2S miles; from
San Buenaventura to Lyons station,
Los Angeles county, 40 miles. A mil
lion and half of dollars will only be.
gin to build these roads. The sum is
barely sufficient to build the first sec
a tions, which will of course have to be
bonded for means to continue the
work. The people of the three coun
! ties will readily understand that they
will lose the money they invest il
bonds, and also the control of the
roads. The mortgages on the differ
ent branches will soon transfer then
to other hands. If the roads will bt
worth the money the people are asked
10 give to the counties, the invest
ment ia good, but If they will not en-
hance the property of private citizens
i'm an amount equal to the face of the
bonds and interest, the enterprise
should not be undertaken, for as surely
as it is the road will pass from the
hands of the people to those of the
holders of the first mortgage bonds.

AN exchange thinks it odd that
while every decent man is herrified
when lie hears a wife has been beaten
by her husband, they all laugh when
husband is beaten by his wife. 1t
is not odd, because every one knows
that it is not one husband in a. thou
sand whose wife ought to whip him
that does it. 1t is not probable that
the whipping in either ease improves
the domestic virtues of the whipped
party, but if it is a pleasure to whip
one of the family, we do not see why
wives should not indulge in the pas
time as we'll as their husbands.

ARE we not going a little too fast in
the way of incuring Indebtedness? 1t
is quite easy to issue bonds, but it is
not quite SO easy to pay them off.
sWhenwe say" charge it, we should
remember that the day will come
when we will be asked to pay it. If
this city and county issues the bonds
now asked on different appropriations,
what with the six hundred thousand
asked for Senator JONES railroad and
the Southern Pacific railroad bonds,
the property of our citizens will be
pledged for the payment of nearly or
quite three million dollars to say moth
ing of the taxes which must be paid.
1t is time the people began to look
these things straight in the face. If
the debts are made they must be met.

THE Republican wall over the al
legged Discrimination of the Democrat
ic majority in the lower House
against Union soldiers in the dlstribu-
tion of offices, turns out to be entirely
uncaled for so far as the facts are con-
cerned. Investigation shows that
twenty-six Union soldiers hold office
in the present Democratic house,
while only eight were so favored by the
last Republican Congress. Union SOL
diers affirm that they find more friends
in the House now than they found at
9 any time during the sixteen years
that Congress was controlled by the
Republicans. So that howl is a false
and hypocritical one, made for polit-
ical effect only. ~ -

MODEL REFoRMERS
The Sort of Men that Assisted Johnny
Davenport to Protect the Elective
franchise.
From me Mem York World

In dealing with the perversion of the
secret service fund to partisan purposes,
we have kept vigorously to the considera-
ton Of the guilt Of the president in trans
crossing the law to get ut money to pay
for work illegally done. The pretense of
Davenport that his labor was necessary
and was honestly performed is worth some
words. The popular memory is not re-
tentive, but few facts will recall the
nature Of the outrage on popular cleo
tons committed at the public cost by this
agent of fraud and organizer of terrorism
The excuse for interference in the cleo
tons in this city was that it cast vote
out Of proportion TO its population. When
called upon to furnish soldiers during the
war, its inhabitants we're set down at over
a million, but when peace came. in order
to lessen the influence of New Yosk,
every effort was made to degrade it into n
second class city. The cry Of excessive
registration and fraudulent voting was
kept up continually. A comparison with
Philadelphia, which was then upheld, as
n model of Republican purity-though
since proven to be no purer than other
Republican models-will show how baseless
the SANDERS against New York we're. By
the census of 1870 New York had a popu-
lation of 942, 292 Philadelphia population
oil 674,022. In New York there were 249
$50 males Of voting age, at Philadelphia
there were only 1866. At that era,
however, Philadelphia registered more
voters than New York. On the city ticket
OF 1870 Philadelphia cast 96,437 votes, to
New York's ll6, 1888, and on the state
ticket Of 1879 Philadelphia cast, 1919,
votes, while New York cast only 1874, 4O5.
The comparison exhibits with great clear
ness the fact that the metropolis was not
the place il which the public money should
have been expended in the prevention of
election frauds.
:. 80 much for the pretense that New
York was den of political iniquity re
curing all the watchfulucss of the federal
government.
Now let US see how Davenport went
10 work to prevent intimidation at cleo
uons and promote purity. On becoming
