The Philadelphia mint coined .st9ooo.ooo In
silver and $4,000 900 in gold last year and made
net profit Of 1.1so167 rs on the business OF the
year In coinage charges. refining, sweeps from
tho melting room. sale Of old materials assays
gain by recoinage of old silver coin, coinage for
the Venezuelan government. ETC. This would
seem to be very profitable business. If the
Philadelphia mint can coin e12,ooo,o0o in silver
a year, the statement that all the minis together
can coin but s27 900 must be an error.
A statement prepared by the manager OF the
st Louis Clearing House shows that the same
condition Of affairs prevails there as at most of
the other cities Of the country The clearings
Indicate an almost continuous decline Of bust
ness for the year. The months Of April and
May alone show an increase. The aggregate
clearings for the year are 81 oo 800 es4 which 10
considerably less than they have been any year
since 1874 In 1874 the aggregate was s1,192 &c.,
762 The clearings at this port for this week. SO
far. make a very good showing, Taking into
consideration the condition Of monetary affairs
throughout the country. the amount OF our
bank clearances. as reported officially. presents
a very good showing.

CALIFORNIA ITEMS.

The question OF sprinkling city streets
with ocean water has been agitated a
good deal by the newspapers Of the Pa.
cifc coast. In Santa Barbara they have
tried the experiment, and the Press says:
'.It was high time to change from salt
to fresh water in s%prinkling the streets.
The salt water. besides being foul. was
extremely injurious TO the wheels. axles
and other parts Of vehicles. II rusts
aud cuts the metal. destroys the paint,
and. drying slowly. keeps the vehicles
wet a long time, to their injury"
On the arrival OF the west-bound
freight.train at Rocklin. two or three
days ago some one was heard calling to
be let out from q car, the fastenings Of
which appear to be in perfect order.
Every n being busy. no attention was
paid to him until the train reached Sac
ramento, when he was released. He
claimed that he had been in the cur Ave
days without anything to eat, which IL
scarcely probable. though he doubtless
entered the ear with some food at Coun.
ell Bluffs or Omaha.
On Saturday night last q man named
Alexandra Barron was shot and killed BY
u young native Californian named Jose
Antonio Moreno. at the store OF Manuel
Carriosa. on Alameda street. Los An.
geles. II appears that Moreno was On n
general rampage. flourishing a revolver.
aud hunting some u TO tread on his
coat-tail. Barron approached him for
the purpose Of demonstrating with him,
when Moreno turned AMI shot him.

The loss was $40. The crime was

Sunday. They had been arrested en- a
charge Of stealing articles belonging to
a tenant who occupied a part Of their

house. found tho three women apparent
ly dead ; u lying insensible upon u

A PREMATURE MOVEMENT.

There Is no constitutional provision
prohibiting the President Of the United
States from holding the office for life.
provided q new election Is held every
four years. and he is duly appointed.
But Ii has become a custom from long
usage for the President TO gracefully re-
tire at the close OF his second term. SO
firmly has this idea limiting the service
Of the Executive to eight years become
implanted in tho public mind that OF
late years no President has even been
rendered the compliment OF q thiid
nomination. to say nothing Of a third
election. There is no particular reason
for this feeling on the part OF the people
except that Washington. our first Presi.
dent. although eagerly pressed to ACCEPT
q third term. declined (; and it has been
deemed eIpsdient and graceful for his
successors to moies.ly follow his ex.
ample.
Good arguments arc available both in
favor Of and against a third term, or
even a fourth or fifth. The advocates
Of oy~srturning the old order Of things
urge. not without q show Of reason.
that experience in the executive chair Is
as valuable as in any other position in
life. and that a good and able President,
who has done his duty faithfully in the
past. Is liable to make q better ruler
over the nation than u new man. fresh
from the people. who knows nothing OF
the snares Of Washington politicians.
and is. therefore. very liable to be caught
by them. to the detrimsnt Of the coun-
try. On the other hand. 1t Is said tina,
long continued power bee,ts inerdinate
ambition. and that a man who has rule,i
for twelve years will be unwilling to give
up his position, even at the call OF tho
people, and may eventually succeed in
making himself Dictator. King or Em.
peror. thus DESTROYING the Republic al.
together.
We refer to this subject from the fact
that certain Republicans in Congress
are already paving the way for a re-
nomination OF General Grant in 1880.
Whether the people would forget their
old traditions, and vote for the hero OF
the war. it Is impossible to say. Time
often brings forth great changes in pop
ular sentiment. But. Mt all events, q
movement OF this kind at this early day
Is premature. and should be discouraged
by all good Ispublicans-oyen tho most
ardent and enthusiastic friends VI Gen
eral Grant.
