WE never could understand how the
managers of banking institution
could persuade themselves to con-
tinue receiving deposits up to the mo-
ment of closing their doors forever.
Yet the last moments of a majority Of
banks whose names figure in the list
of dear departed are marked with these
unpleasant incidents. In the eyes of
the majority of men it is an unworthy
transaction to take from poor labor
ing woman her hard earned pittance
of one hundred and fifty dollars and
hurl it into the all-swallowing vortex.
All who know Mr.. TEMPLE feel that
his kind, generous heart and honor
able nature did not and could not per-
NIT transaction of this kind over
IS the counter of his bank, yet business
was transacted as usual up to the last
hour of the banks existence, and in
the course of that business wrongs
wrongs that seem unpardonable- were
perpetrated on those whose poverty
and helplessness-whose trusting con-
fidence-should have entitled them to
protection against danger they knew
not Of. The deposits of the poor are
small-little drops in the great sea-
their little, though precious all, aid
nothing towards buoying up the sink
ing ship. Then why accept it? The
fiat has gone forth. Wreck is inevi-
table. Preparations for assignment
are already made. Surely no harm to
credit or reputation could come of de-
clining to accept the poor woman's
mite. 1t is a wrong, a cruel wrong,
on the part of the man standing be-
hind the counter of collapsing @snk,
to take the deposits of the trusting
poor.

THE remarks of the Herald yester-
day morning concerning the necessity
for the better protection of the city's
funds, will apply equally well to those
of the county. The increase in the
number of instances of the loss of
county money is sufficient to create
alarm in the minds of the tax payers.
We believe that the safest-in fact the
only perfectly safe plan which coun-
ties can adopt for the preservation OF
their funds, is to require the Treasurer
to keep the money in the county's
safe, and too much care cannot be tax
en- in seeing that he gives the most
satisfactory bonds for the safe keeping
of the funds entrusted to his care. A
lava general law applying to every
county in the State-should be passed
by the Legislature at the present ses-
sion, compelling the Treasurer to
keep every dollar of the public money
in q safe provided by the county. Un-
der such law it will be the fault of
those whose business it is to accept
the Treasurer's bonds if a county loses
Its money or any part thereof.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15th.-At 3
O'Clock this morning as a policeman
was passing house on Fourth street
he saw a woman in night clothes on
the outside of window in the third
story. Thinking it case of SOM
nambulism the officer went to the
woman's rescue, but on catching her
he found she was raving maniac.
She struggled with the officer and had
it not been for the assistance of a
lodger in the house, both would have
fallen to the sidewalk.
The executors of the estate of Robt.

hereby authorized, if it so desire and
determine, to transfer from the Fund
known as the Water Fund, or any
other Fund of said City, into which
the proceeds of the sales of water for
irrigation are now or may hereafter
be payable to the credit of said Irri-

much thereof as the Common Coun-
Water Fund or other Fund above re-
ferred to.
Sec. 4. Whenever on the first day of
February of each year there shall be
in the said Irrigation Improvement
Fund, sum of money amounting to
five thousand dollars, or over, and in
excess of the amount that will be re-
quired to pay the semi-annual inter.

due on the first day of July thereafter
as herein before provided the Common
Council may, if it so desire, order the
City Treasurer of said City to adver-

company and an opponent of compe-
ting railroads. These denunciations
amount to nothing with us. The
HERALD advocates and supports what
1t believes to be for the best interests
of the people, and in the pursuance of
this course it eats no dirt and toadies
to neither the Southern Pacific rail-
road company nor to Senator JONES.
The HERALD is the peoples paper,
aud 1t is from the people, and not from
corporation, it receives its support.
We believe, and our belief is shared by
the people, that no matter how much
stock is subscribed to JONES' proposed
railroad he will, unless our citizens
have it In their power to prevent it,
ultimately sell the road and stock to
the Southern Pacific railroad company.
The arguments Of the Express that no
guarantee that such sale will be made
is necessary is strong evidence that it
is necessary. With the consent of the
HERALD the Southern Pacific railroad
company will never receive from the
people of this city and county another
dollar in the shape of subsidy. We
shall use every honorable means in
our power to prevent the donation of
subsidy or the subscription of stock to
any and all roads that are not placed
forever beyond the reach of this cer-
poration. In the maintenance of this
position we receive the support of the
people, and while we have that sup
port the opposition of corporations or
the denunciations of their subsidized
organs will be unheeded by US. We
are the earnest advocate of railroads,
and we hope that they will run in ev-
cry direction throughout Southern
California; but we do not want to see
the people inveigled into building
roads that will be sold to the Southern
Pacific before the last rail is laid.

The people of the State of California
represented in Senate and Assembly
to enact as follows:
SECTION l. For the purpose of build
ing dams and reservoirs, constructing
proper and suitable zanjas and irriga-
ting canals and improving the same,
or those now in use, for the purpose of
developing and utilizing water for ir-
'rigation and for improving the system
of irrigation in said City, or for either
of said objects the Common Council
of the City of Los Angeles is hereby
authorized and empowered for and in
the name and in behalf of said City
OF Los Angeles to issue bonds of said
City to any amount that the Common
Council may see fit, not exceeding the
sum of Seventy-five thousand dollars
to sell the same and appropriate the
money received therefor to any or all
of the purposes above enumerated.
Sec. 2. Each bond shall be issued in
such an amount as the Common Coun-
Gil shall determine, not exceeding the
sum of one thousand dollars, and shall
be signed by the Mayor of said City,
the Clerk of the Common Council and
the City Treasurer of said City, and
have the corporate seal affixed there
to. The principal sum of said bonds
shall be payable out of the fund here
matter created twenty years from and
after the first day of April A. d. One
Thousand Eight Hundred and Sew
enty-six, and at the office of the
Treasurer of said City, in said City of
Los Angeles. Each bond shall bear
interest at the rate of seven per cent.
per annum, payable out of said fund
semi-annually, viz: on the first day of
January and the first day of July of
each year at the Office of said City
Treasurer, and to provide therefor,
shall have coupons attached in the
usual form thereto which coupons
shall be signed by the City Treasurer.
Sec. 3. That there be and hereby is
created a Fund in said City to be
known and called the Irrigation I'M
provemenr Fund. All moneys re-
ceived from the sale of bonds hereby
authorized to be issued, shall be paid
to the City Treasurer, and by him
placed to the credit of said Fund, and
shall be disbursed by him upon war
rants drawn as provided by law for the
drawing of other City warrants and
for such purposes as the Common
Council are hereby authorized to issue
said bonds. For the purpose of pay
ing the interest on said bonds as it
may accrue, and providing for the
gradual or ultimate redemption of the
bonds so issued, the authorities of said
City shall annually, so long as. re-
quired at the same time and in the
same manner as other municipal taxes
are assessed, levied and collected, as
sess, levy, and collect special tax not
exceeding one half of one per cent.
upon all the taxable property within
the limits of said City, and pay the
same when collected into said Fund.

Do Not Increase the Load.

The San Diego Union does the HER
AID an injustice in assuming that it
is opposed to the building of compet-
ing railroads. We believe that rail-
roads are the most rapid and effective
developers of country, and believing
this we are of course in favor of secUr-
ing all the railroads to be had. We
are, however, opposed to subsidy in
every shape, except it be in the shape
OF portion of the public land; and
we should oppose even this did we not
believe that the road thus secured
renders more valuable the land
still left to the people than the whole
would be without it. But subsidy In
the form Of bonds or subscription cam
not receive the endorsement of the
HERALD. The people have burdened
themselves with all they are able to
carry of this class of millstones. Their
prosperity will be imperilled by the
adding of another straw. They have
built the railroads we now have, and
If more are to be built let those who
are to own, control and profit by their
construction build them. If the peo-
pie build any more railroads we de-
mand, and shall not cease to demand,
that they shall own and direct them.
For the maintenance of this principle
We have incurred the displeasure of
those who are laboring to induce the
people of this city and county to sub.
scribe nearly half a million dollars to
a road over which they will have no
control, and against the sale of which
to the Southern Pacific railroad COM
pany as soon as completed, or before,
they have no guarantee. Because we
have advised the people to demand
guarantee that they will not be sold
out in this Mojave river railroad
scheme before subscribing to its stock,
We are denounced by the Santa Mon
lea ring and its organ-the Express
as an organ of the Southern Pacific

In this mornings HERALD will be
found two bills, copies of which have
been sent to us by Assemblyman LAM
BoURN. The passage of one of these
bills is recommended by the Common
Council, and of the other by the Board
Of Supervisors. Mr.. LAMBoURN re-
quests their publication in order that
their merits may be fully discussed by
the people, and their will concerning
them made known through the col
umns of the local papers. We give
the bills without comment and await
the expressions of those directly con-
cerned. Mr.. LAMBoURN's course in
placing those bills in the hands of his
constituents before taking action ON
them is worthy of commendation.

The City's Funds.

The Republican of last evening con-
tains the substance of statement
from Councilman KUHRTs, who, as
member of the Finance Committee,
has investigated the city funds mat
ter, which does not place that now
very interesting subject in as favora-
ble a light as we could desire. Accord
ing to the City Treasurer's last report,
made less than ten days ago, there
were about thirty-nine thousand dol
lars in the City Treasury. Some
three thousand dollars have since been
paid in, which would increase the total
to forty-two thousand dollars. Mr..
KUnRTs says there is not to exceed
twelve hundred dollars to the credit of
Mr.. .MELLUs in the Farmers and Mer-
chants Bank, and less than two hum
dred dollars to his credit in the Com
mereial Bank. He also says the assig-
nees Of TEMPLE Il WORKMAN tell him
there is no deposit in the name of the
city in that bank, and that whatever
is there is Oh general deposit in the
name of J. J. MELLUs. This state
ment does not agree with that of Mr..
MELLUs, published yesterday, which
was to the effect that he had but four
thousand dollars in the Bank of TEN
PIE & WORKMAN, and that was on
special deposit. If, as Mr.. KUHRTs
says, the Treasurer should have forty
two thousand dollars and he has only
four thousand in the bank, where is
the remainder? The Finance Com
mittee can find but few hundred dol
lars in the other banks.

Germany and Spain.

New York, Jan. 15th.-A Washing
ton special says it is understood that
by next Tuesday or Wednesday the
Presidents message on the negotia-
tions between Spain and Germany
will be sent into the Senate and given
to the country. There is reason to be-
lieye that the German complications
are more serious than those with
Spain. Germany has opened negotia-
tions for the purchase of st. Thomas.
Germany also offers Spain large sum
for an island in the Pacific ocean. 1t
is not unlikely that the next great
debate in Congress will be touching
the relations of Germany and Spain
with the United States.

Cameron, of the fish market, yester-
day employed couple of newly ar
rived Englishmen to hunt game for
him. They proceeded to the outskirts
of the city and soon came upon fine
flock of ducks, at which they blazed
away and soon bagged three dozen,
returning in high glee. The owner
soon came tearing after them and de-
manded dollar and half piece for
his tame ducks. The matter was
finally compromised the hunters pay
ing seventy-five cents each, since
which they have employed their time
cursing the blasted bloody country.
