The Congressional and Senatorial mp
portionment bills introduced by Senator
Del Vale seemed to us to possess all
the essentials embodied in the prescrip-
tions of the new Constitution, and it
was understood that they were substan.
tally such as the Democratic State Cen.
trail Committee had recommended. The
Republicans claim that there was q ger.
rymander because Republican majority
of over three thousand could be
figured out in q single Congressional
district upon the basis of the Garfield.
Hancock election. 1t is worthy of re.
mark, however, that a Republican ma
Jority equally large existed in the Second
District, Pages, and that, notwith.
standing, during the past ten years the
Republicans have always had at least
two and sometimes three of the four
members of Congress from California.
1t is one of the hardest feats in the
world to geTymander this State, and an
attempt to do so would probably result
sn the party so attempting losing all the
Congressman. Mr.. Del Nalle'sbill seemed
to us to be recommended by contiguity
o. territory and equality of population.
1t seems that the measure is distastoiul
10 his fellow Democratic Senators, how.
ever, and Del Wales bill will prob,
ably be evisceratod except as to the pre-
amble and enacting clause, and that Of
Senator Kelley substituted in its place.
Until we can see some better arguments
than those thus far advanced against
Mr.. Del Wales measure we are of
opinion that it should have been enacted
into law by a Democratic legislature
While there was no gerrymander in it,
it was fair to the majority party.

Our Sacramento correspondent assures
us that although not much legislation
has yet seen the light, good deal of
hard work has been gone through with
in committee, and that good progress
will henceforth be reported. We trust
that no does not take too sanguine a
view of the matter. Certainly, so far,
ii the present Legislature, like tree, is
to be judged by its fruits, the exhibit is
not specially gratifying. More than
half the regular session has already run
its course. Much of the splendid victory
achieved by the Democratic party was
due to thcharge German and Latin race
vote, which, on the Sunday law issue,
went solidly with the Democratic party,
and which is diligently watching the
action of the party now. 1t should no.
have taken month to lift this proscrp.
tive law from the statute book. OF its
repeal there can be no doubt, but there
would have been more of 6clat and spon-
taniety if the work had been done at
once. There is nothing like clinching
an invaluable political alliance as soon
as the nail is well driven home. Even
the appearance of hesitation is to be
avoided, However, Calls well that
ends WE'LL" and in the Sunday law, as in
many other matters, this overwhelming.
ly Democratic Legislature will acquit
itself to the satisfaction of the masses.

been paid for the silver bullion from
which Uncle Sam mints his silver coins.
In the second place, much Of this $780,
DOC, 900, which cumbers the Treasury
vaults, was deposited there as basis for
the issuance Of silver certificates, which
latter are In free circulation. We are
sorry to see that any paper published on
this Coast is willing to help in the howl,
dictated by English and Eastern CAPT
talists, at the coinage OF standard
dollars. The San Francisco News-Letter
joins in this un-American crusade, prob
ably on the principle that blood is
thicker than water, the proprietor OF
that lively journal being nothing, II not
British. All the opponents Of silver
coinage point TO the fact that silver Is
discredited, and that the people don't
want il. OF course 1t is discredited and
rejected, and small wonder, under the
circumstances. With the whole power
Of the government Of the United States
devoted to bringing silver into disrepute.
and with Great Britain and Germany
taking hand in the malign work, it Is
not surprising that many people are
afraid to be seen handling silver. But
let Congress once start In In earnest to
rehabiltate the double standard by re-
pealing John Sherman's ca post .(acto law
making the interest on the public debt
payable in gold coin, instead of lawful
money of tho United States, and we
shall soon see brave change. This law
once repealed, let the Secretary Of the
Treasury begin, instanter, to pay out
the standard dollars on interest
and other account, and It will
astonish the conspirators how soon
silver will begin to appreciate in the
markets OF the world In addition, let
all greenbacks and national bank notes
below So be retired, and their place, and
that of the ridiculous shinplaster frac-
tional currency, be replaced by standard
and subsidiary silver coins. With such
perfectly righteous action, tho contest
would be narrowed down to square
fight between the United States and
France, on the one hand, and England
and Germany on the other, with most OF
the other nations of Europe and Amori-
ca. and all those of Asin, in hearty SYM
pathy with Uncle Sam. That the
double standard would como ont of the
struggle victorious, and that silver
bullion would advance ut least thirteen
per cent. in value, we entertain no doubt
whatever The suddenness with which
silver was deprecated in value, and at a
time when the yield of that metal rela-
lively to gold had been less than for
years previous, shows how artificial and
manipu' atod the change was. Give
silver chance

ing without making Congressional and
Legislative apportionment. With nm
overwhelming Democratic majority, and
the entire ability to mike an equitable

DO downright political crime, and
would meet with the condemnation OF
all right-minded people, irrespective Of
politics. There is, Of course, a great
difficulty in the Senatorial apportion.

all the Senators hold overs. This is the
only solution Of the matter, and the

ton Senatorial apportionment, unless
all Senators are hold-overs, would be
abortive. The Senators from tho even

THE distribution Of the rainfall so far
in Los Angeles county has been very
unequal Along the coast and the
mountains, and in the immediate neigh

been largest. In the southern portion
of the county the rain gauges show n
very small downpour as compared with
the central and northern sections. For.

As the HERALD pointed out in its last
issue, the Eastern press just now is full of
dissertations upon the great danger to
the finances of the country of the large
accumulation Of silver in the United
States Treasury, and of the urgent
necessity which exists OF stopping the
coinage OF that metal. They point to
the fact that sl6O,OOO,OOO in standard
dollars are stacked up in the national

stock. The whole ella valley is alarmed
and the settlers are making preparations
