ATOHiseN REORGANIZATION.
A Plan Accepted shat Will Give
Satisfaction.

A Plan Accepted that Will Give
Satisfaction.
BosroN, October THE News Bureau
says tonight: The Atchison Directors on
Saturday were unanimously in favor Of
the plan of reorganization presented by
the special committee. A few details
only remain to be perfected. The plan
will not contain any of the Morrison re-
port, nor anything like it, for Morrison's
report was made only for the in.
formation of parties at work to
save property. The plan has not
been modified, save in the direction that
the meeting generally expressed the de-
sire to have fewer income bonds at
higher rate. The first general per
cont. mortgage will probably be drawn
for less than 100000, with the right to
increase it for new mileage at fixed rate
per mile for single track and another
rate per mile for double track. The in.
come bonds will probably be limited
to $80,000,000 at per cent. Fixed
charges, including taxes, will by this
plan be less than $S,000,0 900. instead of
at present about $11 Zoo, 900. and the in
come will have very considerable
value at the start, with the prospect of
being worth par in a few years, with fair
crops and fair railroad rates. II in sixty
days the plan has not been generally ac-
cepted, the security holders and credit
ors can seek their rights under the law
But the plan is 80 fair and just, and has
been 30 far unanimously indorsed, that
it's hearty acceptance by those interested
NAV be expected.

George 8. Field, Charles Mcdonald and
Julio Bernstein, of Chill, are made
defendanta. Fraud is charged against
the defendants. Plaintiffs claim that
their work progressed satisfactorily to
the Chilian Government, without any
complaint on the part of the Government
OF Chill, until the summer of 1889, when
George Field, President of the company
went to Chill. Then, without any au-
thority, it is said, he discharged
Jared s. Lewis from his position Of
manager and superintendent, and with.
out the consent or authority of
the stockholders of the company, entered
into contract with Julio Bernstein,
resident of Chilli, by which for nominal
consideration Of $17,5OO, the company
undertook to sell and transfer absolutely
all it's property, contract rights and obli-
cations to Bernstein, and plaintiffs ask
that the contract with Bernstein be de-
clared void.

HE assessment for county road pur.

The assessment for county road pur-
poses is quite heavy this year. 1t is
greatly to be hoped that it will be judi
ciously employed. The people would sub
NIT to great sacrifices to get some really
good thoroughfares, such as the beauti'
full Magnolia avenue, near Riverside.
The HERALD last year called attention to
the large OUTLAWS for roads last year, and
the very little effective work which was
done on them. This year the road fund
mas been increased from ten to thirty
cents on the 500 of valuation, which will
yield an enormous sum, viz, nearly
5000, 900. That is probably ten times the
amount spent on the superb Arlington
drive. There will be little kicking, how
ever, if we get our moneys worth in
public convenience and beauty. But if
we don't, forty thousand mules, all kick
ing spontaneously, would not equal the
recalcitrsnce Of the taxpayer.

THE circumstances look suspicious for

THE circumstances look suspicious for
the establishment of sugar beet factory
in Los Angeles, and the presence of Mr..
Claus Spreckels himself may be shortly
looked for in this city. In the Cahuenga
alone the farmers have already set apart
the territory, whose planting in beets
will, under the Spreckels pledge, result
in giving US one of these factories. The
large percentage of saccharine matter
carried by our grapes is guarantee that
the beets will also be found rich in sugar
There is no reason why Los Angeles
county, with her abundant yield of root
crops of all kinds, should not only
make all the sugar consumed by the peo-
pie resident here. but large amount for
export. The success Of one factory will
result in the establishment of half q
dozen. 1t is pleasant to note the spirit
of cooperation which is developing
amongst our farmers of late.

why Burke Didn,t Sail.

LONDON, October 7.-E. A. Burke, ex.
Treasurer of Louisiana, who sailed from
Liverpool for New York on the steame
Teutonic, but disem barked on the ar
rival of the steamer at Queenstown, and
returned to London, says when he ar
rived at Queenstown he found awaiting
him number of kilograms from his Lon
don agent, insisting upon his return to
attend to negotiations relating to
his Central American and other
properties. Burke sent his family on
the Teutonic, and Gays he will probably
sail for New York within week. Burke
says he has not had single communica-
ton from the State officials of Louisiana,
and declares that the Attorney General
of Louisiana and others directing the in
quiry in the bond swindle, are animated
by political luminosity, and he eagerly
awaits the moment when he will con-
front them in New Orleans.

IT MAKES us smile to see Republican
papers deprecating what they term the
blind partizanship of Democratic jour

hide-b bound and persistent in blind parti-
7anship than the Republican press, it
has yet to be dug out of the unexplored
depths of narrow-minded prejudice. The
most incorporating Democratic stick
Ter for it's party that was ever printed is
an aurora-borealis Of liberality in politi-
cal differences compared with the aver

1T is proposed to hold, at an early day
Q National Silver Convention, and it is
desired that the delegates should en-
brace the representatives of all indus
tries in the country, as we'll as OF the
silver mining sections, and particularly
of the agricultural interests - wheat,
corn, cotton, etc. The HERALD has re-
peatedly shown the intimate relations
between agricultural products and BIZ
metallism, The circular which lies be-
fore us as we write fails to point out the
manner OF selecting the delegates,
and we presume any gentleman who
felt sufficient interest in the subject
to 90 on to st. Louis would be accorded q
ready hearing if he had anything to say
which would interest the country. Los
Angeles ought by all means to be repre-
sented in this Convention, and the
Chamber of Commerce OF this city,
which ia doubtless warmly interested in
the freq coinage and reconciliation of
silver, would be the proper body to
appoint the delegates. The circular,
which is signed by E. A. Elliott,
Chairman of the Press Committee, says: :
" st. Louis will arrange for the
" Convention and entertain the del
" egates appropriately, but we recognize
" the fact that we will need all Of the as
" sistance we can secure to make the
Convention the success it should be-"
Los Angeles is really the center of one of
the greatest silver mining districts in the
United States. The extension of the
Carson & Colorado Railway from Keller
to the Mojave, and the inevitable early
extension of the Salt Lake Railway to
this city, will demonstrate this fact in
a most remarkable manner. 1t will not
be long before work on large scale will
be begun by the Messrs. John P. Jones
and D. o. Mills on the old Cerro Gordo
mines, and Darwin and many other
camps are notably rich. The free coin.
age and reconciliation of silver would
impart tremendous stimulus to silver
production in this section, which,
in conjunction with the deliv-
cry of cheap Alaska coal, would
make Los Angeles great smelling
center. Our people should on this ground
alone take a great interest in anything
which is calculated to restore this dis.
priced metal to it's old place in the circu-
lation Of the world. 1t ought not to be
difficult to induce delegation of Ange-
lefIoa to attend the St. Louis Convention,
and we think we can promise Mr.. Elliott
and his associates the hearty cooperation
of Los Angeles.

Porter,s Condition NIending

PROVIDENCE, R. l., October IA caller
at the residence of Admiral Porter in
jamestown, this evening, found him
seated in an easy chair before a COM
Portable CRATE fire, and in answer to
query in regard to his health, replied
that he was feeling better than before
for a long time, and expected before long
to return to Washington. The Admiral's
son Robert also informed the Associated

condition is much improved, and that
there is no cause for the alarming
rumors as to his condition being critical

THE American people are very FESTIVE
just now at the fact that the balance of
trade is very markedly against US this
year, and notably 30 during the past
week, when August Belmont shipped
$5,OOO,OO0 in gold to the Rothschilds, a
sum which was required, the report goes,
for the Brazilian loan lately negotiated
by that house. No extraordinary ex.
PLANTATION is needed for the balance of
trade being largely against US at present.
Our people have been grossly extrava-
giant, and the forty or fifty thousand
Americans who have taken in the Paris
Exposition this year have spent
unnumbered millions. From this source
alone we are justified in assuming that
nearly a hundred millions Of dollars
have found their way abroad. There are
few Americans who 60 to Europe who do
not spend couple of Thousand dollars
in the trip, and many of them spend
from ten to twenty thousand. Single
pictures are frequently purchased
at an outlay of tens of thou
sands, and Paris is overflow
ing with American coin. The necessity
of providing for the movement of the crops
in the West and South has also aided in
running the resources of the New York
banks down to an unprecedented figure.
1t is lucky for the American people that
these last are abundant and prices good.
Here will be found ready resource for
recuperation. TIE wheat crop of the
world is short, and that of the United
States very plethoric, this year. 1t has
been no unusual thing for the balance
of trade to be against the United
States. Prior to the panic of 1873
we were obliged to meet the deficit
with either coin or bonds. But that
drastic experience introduced an era of
saving which, with our enormous pro.
duction, turned the current in our favor,
enabling US to buy back our bonds and
materially augmenting our coin reserves.
For q period of thirteen or fourteen years
the stream set steadily our way, and a
little economy on the part Of the people
will bring back this era of pros perity.

Carlyle and Cromwell.

The principal task Of Mr.. Carlyle was
to rescue Cromwell from the discolor-
alton of time and the confusion of
tongues. After that Mr.. Carlyle did
very little that will stand the
test of time. He wrote an &C.
count of the French Revolution
almost as fantastic az that event
itself. His incapacity to appreciate
Washington, his ecstacy over Frederick
the Great and his ancestors, and, finally,
his tyranny over his own wife, set him
down as man who began with promise
and ended with sour stomach. Too
much literature is not good. Gath in

IT WAS hoped by the more sanguine
taxpayers that the rate for State and
County taxes would this year be kept
down to the figures of year ago, but it

borhood of a million and half dollars
which the Taxpayers will be obliged to
meet. The City rate is $110 this year.
