Hon Samuel Randall spoke in Parkers.
burg on Monday. For over an hour he ar
raigned tho republican party for corruption
and extravaganza, and for maintaining an
enormous unnecessary surplus in the treasu.
ry. The true way to dispose of surplus
revenue was not TO collect it, In his
Judgment. the wisest method of reducing
the collections was to abolish internal rev.
enue taxes. Mr.. Randall denounced the
republican scheme for distributing the Sur
plus among the States as long stride to-
wards Capitalization in making the States
dependent upon the general government.
Mr. Randall strongly urged the necessity Of
reform in the departments at Washington,
and said the democratic party would pledge
itself to run the government for $3.50, 900,
600 per annum, or Sl40,000,000 less than
was collected last year. He closed with a
glowing eulogy of Cleveland and Hendricks,
and said the honor of the American people,
which had been compromised by the fraud
of 1876, would never he vindicated until
democrat was elected President. He be-
lieved the great body Of the people would
rejoice in a change

Our Gold and Silver Coin.

While there is great deal Of contro-
versy about silver and gold as currency,
it is well to repeat the comparative
standards of silver and gold The stand
ard now existing. as established by Con
gress, makes one pound of gold equal to
sixteen pounds Of silver. Gold coin con.
tains 900 parts pure gold and 100 parts
copper. Old gold coins have an alloy Of
silver and copper, 50 parts of each kind,
and are lighter eolored than the present
gold coin.
1t should also be stated that this
standard of to 10 was established by
old Tom Benton in 1887 against the
bowling of the bankers OF New York. led
on by oil Albert Gallatin and lot of
old fogies. A file Of New York newspa
pers OF that day would show about the
same controversy going on as now, except
that then the old fossils owned all the
silver, which was scarce. and wanted to
make l54 pounds Of silver equal to one
of gold. A silver dollar would then
weigh 399 10 grains, while Benton's,
which is our present dollar, weighed
4l2l grains. The same parties have
changed from tweedle-dum 10 tweedle-
dee, but silver coinage will go on and
the country will prosper.

Mining Intelligence.

At meeting OF the directors OF the
Barning Moscow Mining Company held
in this city yesterday, MIR. c. T. Bradley
was elected director in place of Col.
II. II. Markham and Casper NJ, Sanger
President of the company in place OF
Col. Markham. who resigns both posi-
tions. Mr.. c. NJ Lawrence at the same
time sold his interest in the mine to c.
NJ. Sanger.
The directors of the Orc Grande Min
ing Company also held a meeting and
elected the President c. M. Sanger, as
manager in the place of Col. Markham,
resigned. Capt f. 7. johnson remains
Superintendent of the mills of the com
pany, and MIR. d. Bachter, of the King
mine.
After the transaction of the regular
business of the meeting, the President
presented resolution of thanks from
the Board of Directors to Col. III. II.
Marx ham, for his faithful and su ccess
ful management of the affairs of the
company. during his continuance in
office, stating that all his representations
to the Board had been borne out by the
facts, that his accounts were accurate,
while all his trans act tons had been
unanimously approved. The resolution
also expresses regret that owing to i'll
health the Colonel has been induced to
resign the management of the affairs OF
the company.
1t is pleasant to observe such marked
aud entire eordislity in the management
of this large corporation with its varied
and dimmense business which now amounts
T. about $500, 600 annually. The mine
now being worked by the company is
said to be developed and opened in the
best manner OF any mine in Calico Dis
trict. 1t pays monthly dividends, but
levies no assessments.
At the earnest request of the board
we lean that the Colonel has consented
to remain in the Directory, so that they
will have the benefit of his experience
aud advice, when needed, but he takes no
responsibility Of affairs. The amount
paid for his Interest is not made public,
but is understood to be ample the
balance of his life

Uses of Copper.

The price Of copper has now become so
low that that metal can be used in the
ars and industries with great and prciit-
able success. IL now costs about eight
cents per square foot for tin roofing, that
lasts but little while. before the tin
wears off and the sheet.iron in the cen
ter rusts, and the roof is valueless, W hile
If copper sheets are used instead. the
cost would be about ono-third more,
while the roof would last 200 years OF
more II needed. The owners OF all fine
building, can well afford to pay this addi.
tional and but trfling expense for cop.
per roof that will laugh at the centuries
and almost never wear out.
These roofs are now the cheapest and
best in the world, and should be placed
ON all our iiue buildings. By making
this use Of copper demand will be
made for this metal that will insure a
large development of copper mining in
our vicinity. Within eighty mics Of
Los Angeles there is'a vast supply ct
copper, aud right here it should be made
into copper sheeting. Who will start
the business?
This metal was formerly largely used
in Europe for roofs, especially in Ger
many, but a curious misfortune hap
pened to it in the thirty years war, in
1892, when the raider and tyrant Melac
over.ran part of Germany and tore of
the roofs from the heads Of the people to
make them into copper coin and cannon.
That was a very peculiar circum stan ce
that is seldom heard of in this country,
and was called national outrage. As
We now use nickel Instead of small cop.
per coin, there is little danger that our
copper roofs will be disturbed for coin
age. However let us take this possible
historic iisk and commence making cop.
per roofs in California. Now is the
time to begin.

The roads leading to Anaheim are in

good roads there would be more people
on the streets, more stir in busin, ss cir

through the otherwise beautiful coun-

now, but the pleasure OF drive is de-

one has to travel.

WHEN the special session shall have
come to an end, if ever, and the clamors
which have followed the defeat of the
Morrison bill in the Congress Of the
United States shall have measurably
subsidized, the HERALD will apply itself
to pointing out n number Of fucts which
ought never to have been forgotten by
Democrats either at Sacramento or
Washington. 1t seems TO he the peculiar
misfortune of the Democratic party that
it often forgets those counsel. of moder-
alton and expodiency in which only
success i'll the attainment Of any object
Is possible. We are afraid that this
grand old organization is even forgetiu',
at times, of that rigid principle which
redeems even defeat, ne in the case Of
the nomination of Greeley in 1872 and
that of Glenn in 1879. Fortunately
thore is plenty Of time for restoration
