National Bank Currency.

New YORK, Jan. The following
correspondence is published here:
THE CHASE NATIONAL BANK, UNITED
STATES DEPOSITORY, N. Y, Jan. b
Hon. John Sherman, Washington-DEAR
SIR: As by giving to the banks par instead
of 90 per cent on bonds deposited will
give an addition to the volume of cur
rency of 800, 900, 900, and by removing
the tax of | per cent on national bank
notes will encourage the banks to enlarge
their issues, | think, to the extent of
$50, 900, 600 more during the coming SIX
months. | can see no reason why these
amendments to the law should not be
granted promptly. Some relief to the
money market must be had soon or the
cry for an unlimited or enlarged coinage
Of silver will be successfully raised.
Silver notes are satisfactory currency
despite all arguments against the daddy
dollar, Except for a short period prior
to and during u panic there is always
money enough, for depreciation and
liquidation will quickly bring about an
adjustment of prices 70 the volume of
money disable in making prices. l have
the impression that you are opposed to
granting the issue of more national bank
notes and | feel that | am not trespassing
on you in apprising you that every nation
al bank is DESTROYS to get that extra 10
per cent on their deposits of bonds, and
certainly the business community, and
even the farming population OF our coun-
try, will be gratified in a better and more
adequate issue OF currency, for it is the
prevailing opinion that more money is
necessary to stop depreciation.
| therefore ask you to take the initia-
tive, not so much as a favor to TIE banks,
but as an advantage to the public at large,
securing to the banks the live advantages
indicated. Very respectfully yours,
(Signed) JOHN THOMPSON.
Sherman made the following reply:
WASHINGTON, ID. c. Jan. 6. DEAR
SIR:-Your letter of the 5th is received.
agree with you entirely as to the pro-
priety Of increasing the currency to
national banks IN the mode suggested,
and you are mistaken in supposing that [
had been opposed TO such issue. [ intro
duccd a bill three or four years ago allow
ing an issue of bank notes approach
ing within 10 per cent of the market
value Of the bonds deposited. This was
defeated in the committee on finance and
proposition to give the circulation to
the face of the bonds was reported and
passed the senate, but was never acted
upon in the house. | would most heartily
vote for the bill authorizing the issue of
bank notes equal to the par value of
bonds deposited. Very truly yours,
Signed JOHN SHERMAN.

A Small blaze.

Yesterday afternoon about Eve o'clock,
what care near being serious fire hap
pened in fruit store in the Montrose
Building, on the corner of Fourth and
Main streets. The little daughter Of the
proprietress had lighted small oil-stove
and was carrying it into the shop when
it blazed up. She dropped it and the
burning oil ran over the floor and set
fire to the counter. The mother, in her
hurry to get out of the store, broke a
small glass show case and scattered
things promiscuously about the place.
Officer Church happened to come
around the corner at the time, and, after
procuring an old quilt, he beat out the

A sad uerenvement.

We are called upon again to announce
a sad bereavement to the family of Mr..
A. 6. Mappa, Deputy County Clerk, in
the death of his daughter, Mrs. Jennie
N. Howard, at Pasadena, this morning.
She had been suffering from consump-
tion for about year before the disease
consummated its fatal work. Mrs.
Howard was almost a native of Los An
geles, having been brought up here from
child. Her twin sister is Mrs. Libbie
M. Day, and the family still reside in the
old homestead in Franklin street where
they have lived for nearly twenty years.
Mrs. Howard, during her brief career,
has had sad experiences, the most agon-
izing of which was the death of her
former husband, Mr.. Pierson, on the
train that met with the terrible disaster
at Tehachepi, in 1883. A little girl,
who was born shortly after that ac-
cident, still survives, and is
the only child of the deceased has
left. Mrs. Howard was sweet and
lovely woman. We have known her
from girlhood, and always saw in her
that kind and amiable disposition which
gave her warm place in the hearts of
all who knew her. The sympathies of
the HERALD 60 out to the bereaved
family in full measure over the irrepara-
BILE loss they and the community have
sustained in the death OF so worthy
and noble woman. The funeral
will take. place from the residence
of the family, on Franklin street,
tomorrow wednesday, morning at 10
o'clock. Mrs. Howard was the wife
Of Elmer D. Howard, formerly connected
with the business department of the
Tribune, and until recently business man
ager Of the Pasadena Union. She was
in the 9th year Of her age.
Will the:destruction of human life by
the pointing Of pistols on the part Of
thickheaded persons, on the idiotic as
sumption that the weapons are not load
ed, never end? We fear not while the
world is populated by people who know
80 little and who are so obtuse against
improving themselves. But this can be
done-threatened victims may be pro-
tected against their carelessness. Men
and women may find it possible to learn
with the fear OF the State prison before
their eyes when they would continue in
the density of ignorance without it. A
law that fully covers the case, stringently
enforced, would satisfy the public If it
accomplished nothing more.-[ Boston

ROUTE OF THE WILBUR ROAD.

Depot Gossip.

A HERALD reporter yesterday inter
viewed Mr.. A. G. Paulsell regarding the
Wilbur Paulsell railroad, now in course
of construction between Rodgers, on the
Atlantic & Pacific, and Antioch, a
small town on the Southern Pacific, situ-
ated on the bay, 55 miles south Of San
Francisco. When asked what work had
been already done, Mr.. Paulsell replied
eve have graded from Hills Ferry, on
the border of Merced and Stanislaus
counties, to point about fourteen miles
east Of Whites Bridge, over Fresno
Slough, west of Fresno. Then again
some work has been done in the TETON,
where small body Of graders are already
encamped. No track has been laid at
all. Immediately on the return of Mr..
Wilbur, who is expected on the goth, we
will start in grading from the Antioch
end, and push the work forward as rap
idly as possible; in fact we are making
arrangements to move our labor camps
to Antioch during the course of few
days. The right of way is secured for the
entire line excepting at one or two points
where we do not, however, anticipate
any trouble"
cat present the line is purely a matter
of private enterprise, though of course
the road may be disposed Of when COM
pleted. Mr.. Wilbnr's mission in London
has been to place the bonds, and this he
has succeeded in doing and is returning
with the capital to push the work
through"
"Have you decided to run into Bakers
field?"
No, not definitely, though we have
not yet done much engineering in Kern
and Tulare counties. We have run
lines near Hanford and through the
Tehachepi Mountains, but as regar ds
Bakersfield we may possibly go west Of
that town. The line will keep consider
ably to the west Of the Southern Pacific
and take in all the San Joaquin country"
