DEMOCRATIC misrule, as the Trib-
,tne calls it, is rapidly getting silver
into circulation all over the country.
The pace will be greatly accelerated.
Until now the national banks have
managed to keep up their circulation
we'll. But the last calls of bonds, ag-
gregating about $25, 100000, will
knock them like center shot in a
ten-pin alley. Every dollar in notes
retired puts silver dollar in circula-
ton. Before the war great deal OF
the retail business OF the country was
done by silver coin as medium OF
transfer. The country has grown
amazingly since 1860, and will re-
quire a much larger amount OF coin to
do this. Then there were a great
many notes of private banks in use.
These will not be allowed to spring
up again. Business is now on too en-
lightonsd basis for such measures.
Silver will be the retail medium Of
business in the future. This is sill.

SAN BermardtnO,s Growth.

The development going on in this city is
simply marvellous. The excitement in real
estate might have been expected; was in
evitable. But we did not look for a build.
ing movement of such great proportions.
There are at present several hundred build
ings in process of construction in this city,
ranging from the imposing three story
structure on the Katz block, to the modest
but handsome cottage in the suburbs. And
the cry is still there are more needed. And
there are. The coming winter lntinx OF
visitors fleeing from the elemental wrath of
the north and east, will certainly be larger
in volume during the present than in any
previous year. The new hotel Will not be
ready for the Iecepi ion of guests before the
first of May, if then. The old hotels are
good ones and do their best for their guests.
but their capacity will not at all be equal
to the demand. Private houses. there
are really none to rent. Rooms are hard to
obtain. The King house, splendid in
stitution of the kind, has frequently to
turn numerous applicants for rooms,
from its dooIs. Had 1t three times its pres
ent capacity, and we're 1t conducted as now.

why Markets Are Failures

Markets are not the same to-day as they
were twenty and thirty years ago." said a
veteran marketman, who had retired from
Mail and Express. 1.-THE housewives al
ways went to the market to lay in their
weeks stock. Meat butter, vegetables, cheese.
eggs, everything was bought in the market.
Tea, coffee and such groceries were bought
distance with a big basket. which they
would have filed before leaving.
And the women would also appear
with a similar accompaniment The best
part of workingman's wages would be ex
pended on a Saturday night in the market.
The wife would then know she had food
enough laid in for the week. The husband
would know how much he had for spend
ing money. Now this is all changed. The
market is about the last place the majority
for the restaurants the city might almost
shut up the markets. me are already
virtually closed. Where is the glory
of Centre, Essex. Union, Clinton, Cath
arine, Manhattan and other markets
that were famous in their day?
Some have been torn down and the ground
devoted to other occupations. Two have
become police stations, because they were
city property. l allude TO Franklin aud
Union markets. Two have become large
depois for Chicago slaughterers. mean
Essex and center markets. Several have
disappeared and their sites built upon, tene-
ment-bouses and stores taking their places.
And even those that remain are hardly
worth being called markets in the sense
they once were."
"What has been the cause of the changer"
zone reason is the grocery stores, where
housekeepers can go at any time. keep
everything. Many of them sell even meat.
and nearly all of them deal in poultry They
are near by the houses of the people; They
are kept in good order and are cleanly. The
plan of wholesale houses making up coffee,
spices and many other things in neat pack
sges. with guaranteed weight or measure,
has induced housekeepers to deal with gro.
Gerry stores near by. Smart storekeepers
found out the advantage of keeping every
thing, and now a grocery store is small

THE Times yesterday in referring to
the contest to be made for the Con-
gressional seat attached to the Sixth
District OF California, says the Demo-
cratic contestant has retained "the
notorious j. Marion Brooks" to make
his contest. The Republican press
at all points manifests most posi-
tive hostility to any move in this
direction. Why? What is the OBJ
lection to this contest? Then, again,
is every person who may be connect
ed with the procedure to be made the
target of such improper personal
attacks? Why is Mr.. Brooks charac-
terized as notorious? With what in
fanny has this gentleman's name ever
been connected? He contested a
seat in the Legislature for himself,
and won it from his Republican op-
ponent, who was proven to have been
returned by gross fraud. This infamy
is boot on the other fellows foot.
Mr.. Brooks is man of particularly
clean re ,ord.

Few more atrocious frauds have
been committed, or few more thiev-
ing raids on the public domain, than
was the filing on the timber lands of
this coast some two or three years
ago. The great steal was conceived
and carried out by great clique Of
millionaires. 1t is most gratifying to
find the Secretary of the Treasury
getting after these plunderers in such
excellent shape and bringing the
whole lot to taw. By all means
compell them to return every
acre of their plumber to the people to
whom it belongs. 1t does one good
to see a really honest administration
of the government-one with the
strength and purity OF purpose to
bring down such big game as these
millionaires who grabbed these valu-
able lands.

THE Fruit-growers' convention, just

destined to grow to great proportions.
They are the interests of the poor

They are not likely to make some

reason the thing should be done.
Perhaps for this reason it may fail to
be done.
