IT APPEARS that the Soldiers Home, so
beautifully situated near the waves ofthe
Pacific at Santa Monica. is almost Grip.
pied in it's usefulness for lack of funds.
Fine buildings have been erected at large
outlay, and large number Of soldiers
have been gathered there to enjoy the
provision N ade for them by the nation
but only half what should be done has
been done, or can be done
because the appropriation is exhausted in
setting up lot of shells-very fine in
their way, but very badly equipped.
The queer part of the story is that no cne
asked the last Congress to do anything
for this Home in the way of appro-
priations. Where was General Vandever,
the Congre ssman for the Sixth District,
when the appropriation bill was framed.
and why did he not look out for the
comfort of his old companions
in arms? The badge of the
G. A. R. on his coat does not mean much
if he forgets his duty to the soldiers who
are in want in his district. The Home
needs at once $3.50, 900 to set it in proper
shape. Will the General gee that the
very moment Congress assemblies bill
for the relief of the Home is pressed
through? All the California delegation
will be at his back, and there will be nc
difficulty in getting all the money that il
needed.

sEaNs multiply in this city that money
is plentiful for legitimate uses. Where
good security is offered funds can be had
on much more reasonable terms thar
we're current few months ago. The
HERALD has been persistent in pointing
out the fact that this condition of things
was coming about. The movement has
not yet reached its limit. The moral is,
buy good real estate instead of loaning
money. In San Francisco, as in all
large cities, property is bought on basis
of three per cent interest net per annum
That is the value Of money now. Real
property can be purchased in Los An
geles today that will pay forever ten per
cent. net on the purchase price. Wise
are they who secure it.

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION.
PHILADELPHIA, August 1.-The heavy
rains that prevailed at intervals all day
rendered the Athletic ground very soft,
but bv dint of hard work it was got in
pretty fair shape by 4:30. Manager
Sharig then announced his willingness to
play, but Captain Comiskey refused.
Umpire Goldsmith, when appealed to
by Sharig to give the game to the Ath-
letics, declined to make any decision
He said if the Athletics had announced
their willingness to play at O'Clock,
the regular hour, he would certainly
have called it play, but after that hour
had passed he thought it was optional

WHEN practical intelligence is directed
to the plan for storm drains that is part
of the projected sewer system it will be
found that the enormous volume oi
waters rushing down from the hills,
holding the 'dobie soil in solution, would
in very short time, completely ell up
and clog such sewer as that con.
templated by way Of the Ballona. In any
practicable system special provision
should be made for discharging the storm
drains into the bed of the Los Angeles

Msw MARTINsvILLE, ". Va, August l.
Tuesday night mob of disguised men,
mum mbering about fifteen or eighteen,

farmer on Fishing Greek, battered in
the door with stick of cord wood and
after tying Mrs. Brown, her husband and
children proceeded to subject the house
to a thorough search, presumably for
stolen goods. Nothing OF the sort was
found, and in their rage the mob heated
a lot of tar in dinner pot and literally
smeared the heads of Brown and his wife.
Mrs. Brown was compelled to have her

THE State Board of Trade is doing one
service TO the State whose value is ines
timable. To do the work in the vine-
yards and orchards heretofore performed
by Chinese labor, an organized effort has
been made to send out the idle youth OF
San Francisco into the country. The
State Board of Trade has put itself at
the head of this movement, which is
successful to quite an encouraging de-
gree. San Francisco has not had factories
nearly commensurate with the number OF
young boys growing up within its bounds.
Besides this there has always been
in the Bay City large number OF very
foolish parents who thought the work to
which they had been born and bred was
a disgrace. Large wages made it possi-
BILE for the old people to bring up the
new generation in ,idleness, and there
was not sufficient intelligence in many
cases to make the proposition clear that
idleness and crime are closely related
terms. Idleness became the fruitful
mother of hoodlumism, and the
high school became, in too many
cases, the open door to the
penitentiary. Here is whers the new
movement will do SO much good. The
idle boys of the great metropolis are
being sent wholesale out into the fresh
wholesome country, to learn to support
themselves by their own labor. The
State Board of Trade published in a
recent issue of the San Francisco Bulle'
tin, complete statement of the plan,
and of its workings. Reference will be
made to this more fully at another time.

DURING the first five months of the
current year there was subscribed $780,
00O, 900 of English capital to be put into
foreign interests. American breweries.
railroads and other enterprises got the
lions share of this. ct is not a bad
thing. 1t puts great deal of money in
here to be used in new enterprises.
Americans who sell brewery in one
city will build new one in another, or
will 60 into some other line
of industry. There is a great deal
of raw material in this country yet.
