THERE is an old adage which runs
that there is nothing like going from
home to learn the news. The last is
sue OF the San Francisco daily Stock
Report has the following:
1t is an interesting fact that the
gentlemen who have until recently
so ably conducted the Los Angeles
HERALD, but who are now foolishly
reviling the northerly counties OF the
State and urging that the southern
counties set up State OF their own,
are the gentlemen VINO formerly 0on-
Quoted the Bodie Free Press. Then
they wanted to separate Mono, lnyo
and Alpine counties from California
and give them to Nevada. They do
not seem to be very particular what
kind OF u secession they engineer as
long as they engineer one.
This is overwhelmingly funny. 1t is
more than funny. 1t is unique.
Notwithstanding all misapprehen-
sions, the HERALD stands solidly by
silver and by its section, the latter
proposition embracing new State OF
Los Angeles. Neither Mono nor Inyo
county can secede from the region
which ultimately will assist in form
ing the new State, if we can help it.
There is nothing querulous about us.
What we want is the new State, and
we desire to have Mono and lnyo
counties included in it. 1t is news to
the conductors of the HERALD that
they have been at any time con
cerned in the publication OF the
Bodie Free Press. But the longer
man lives the more he finds out, to
quote familiar expression.

Tne t,oy, worm strike.

ST. Louis, April 5.--A new develop
ment of the strike on the east side OF
the river and one which occasioned con-
siderable surprise aud uneasiness among
railway officials occurred this morning
when the Chicago and Alton switch en-
ginecrs struck. They say they will not
20 back to work until the trouble be-
tween the railroads and their employees
are settled, and felt confident their
brotherhood would support them.
A special from Ft. Worth to ths Post
Dispatch, says; "Governor ireland ar
rived here this morning from the capital
of the State, and has been in consulta-
ton with the railway officials and mill.
tary. When the Governors train
stopped at Waco on its way here last
night several strikers mounted the engine
and killed it. Another engine was pro-
cured and the train arrived this morning
without further hindrance. Governor
Ireland said he was determined that the
railroad officials must be permitted to
run their trains even ii 1T required
assistance, aud every man in the state
able to bear arms was called to aid IN
accomplishing this end. The report
that the strikers had torn up sections OF
the track south of this city proved upon

handled and controlled, hence it can
be used to the detriment Of the work
ing and producing classes. Our
government, in its adverse ac-
ton to the coinage and circu-
lation OF silver, is striking severe
blow at one of the leading prodnc-
tions of the country, and at the vel
fare of the great mass Of citizens.
The Government should not purchase
the silver, but should allow its hold
ers 70 have it coined free, when pro
duced from our own mines, and to is-
sue certificates, when required, Tor
their value in silver coin, redeemable
at all the sub.treasuries in the United
States. They would be equally valu-
able TO their holders in Maine or Cali
fornia. This antagonism to silver
arises from the inability Of the man
ipulatiors to handle it TO their own
ACKNOWLEDGMENT, and is between those
vino thrive upon the necessities OF
the masses and the people them
selves. The Government is master
of the situation and so long as II Ie-
lives, pays out and respects silver
coin 30 long will it be received and
respected by the people, who will
not know or feel the difference be-
tween gold and silver; and it seems
to me that oor country is in a situa-
ton to legislate on this matter, with
out caring about Whist other countries
think, or their interest.
"By entering the market to pur-
chase silver at auction from the low
est bidder, the government becomes
n speculator, and as it claims the ex-
elusive right OF coming, ii also be-
comes a monopolist OF the silver
yield. The profit which it makes by
the difference between the amount
which it pays for silver, and the cost
Of its coinage, and the value OF it
after being coined, more than pays
all the mint expenses in the United
States, and leaves a large surplus. II
ought to be the purpose OF the gov
ernment to procure the greatest good
for the greatest number, and to ac-
complish this il should foster and
protect the workers; the rich have
the means to take care OF them
selves. The present administration,
Influenced by the bankers in the
great monied centres and dealers in
gold has evinced its determination to
consummate their desires, by plac-
ing in the Treasury, a Secretary who
is in full accord with their intentions.
Secretaries Window and Folger
showed willingness and desire to
distribute and circulate silver coin
and make it co-equal with gold, and
to carry out the spirit Of the law in
coming and distributing il, while the
present Secretary appears to present
every possible obstacle in the way of
so doing, which, il continued, is sure
to seriously effect the general welfare
of the country"
Mr.. Spaulding in his closing re-
marks does injustice to Secretary
Manning and that is, of course, to be
expected. But his main views are
sound.

The nritish Grain Trade.

quarters at 32s Cd during the correspond

ever, owing to increased consumption
arising from scarcity of vegetables. Bar
leys are in buyers favor. Trade in for

Better to have loved and lost
Than not to have loved at all


THE HERALD has pursued the sill
yer question almost to the point OF
eccentricity, and we have been inn
PEELED to this course by Il realizing
sense OF the importance both to the
United States, the largest silver pro-
ducing country in the world, and to
mankind, OF maintaining the money
standards OF gold and silver which
have prevailed almost since "Adam
delved and Eve span" The silver
men are winning their fight. The
President OF the Bank OF England has
pronounced in favor of b-metallism,
while years ago the most sagacious OF
the Rothschilds was unstinted in his
advocacy OF the double standard as
essential to the prosperous admins
tration of the fiscal affairs OF nations.
The last highly intelligent outgiving
which we have encountered with ie-
gard to silver has emanated from Mr..
N. w. Spaulding, ex- Assistant Treas
urer OF the United States, who is now
engaged in manufacturing. Mr..
Spaulding says; 81 am in favor OF
the bi-metallic system. Silver is the
laborers' and producers money. II
is the only money that can be re-
tanned in the hands OF the people.
While this money is held by them il
cannot be called in to produce high
rates OF interest, and will be one oi
the means of preventing the disas'
trous financial panics that have SC
often occurred. 1t cannot be used by
the money manipulators in the greai
moneyed centers to create corners
for it is so widely disseminated among
the people, and is SO bulky, that il
would be impossible to aggregate il
for such purposes. Gold is easier
