4 scnsible word on Resumption.

The Baltimore Sun, always hereto
fore recognizcdas an advocate ofhard
money, had an editorial on Tuesday
to the effect that at is doubtful
whether the Republicans who fran.
ed the bill fixing January l, 1879,
as the day on which specie payments
were to be resumed, were not more
governed in doing so by the party
exigcnces than from any sincere be-
licfthat resumption would take place
at the appointed time. The very
fact that they passed none of those
laws that were necessary to prepare
the way for resumption would seem
to indicate that they expected to
keep the promise to the ear, but
break it to hope" The article con.
cludes: "Although but eighteen
months remain before resumption is
called for by law, it is well under.
stood that no effort has been made,
either by the National Banks or the
Secretary of the Treasury, to lay in
a stock of gold adequate to meet the
demand that would cnsuc. When
the Bank of England resumed specie
payments in 1921, its proportion Of
p2per to bullion was at twcnty-thrcc

The SALINAS CITY FIRE.-On the 7th
ofJanuary the Court House at Salinas
Cry, Monterey county was discovered to
BE- on fire and was burned to the ground.
The fire oriai'a'el in the Tax Collectors
Office, and all the books connected with
the collection of taxes for the current fs-
year wee destroyed. Suspicion pointed
strongly to persons connected with the
Office, and movements were at once set
on ioDt t. trace tie cline home: now
the oof is becoming strong that the fire
was kindled to destroy the evidences Of
guilt on the part Of the collectors office.
VIII Is detaulter 20 the county to the
supposed extent Of SIC, 600, fifteen per cent
OF The county revenue. The belief is that
the Deputy Collector LOST the money
gambling, and being unable to make his
losings good resorted to this method of
coneealing his crime. Several of the
prominent citizens Of the county includ-
ing an ex-County Judge are under arrest
Tor completely in the crime, and the Grand
Jury of Monterey county, which is now
in session, is expected to unearth facts
which will startle the community. The
San Francisco detectives who are at work
terreting out the truth of the matter are
impressed with the belief that the county
officers are not doing their whole duty to
pro ect the interests which have been in
trusted to their charge.
