An exchange says suspicious sub scriber, who found a spider in his paper, wants to know if it is considered bad omen. Nothing oi the kind. The spi- der was merely looking over the columns of the paper to see what merchant was not advertising, so that it could spin its web across his door and be free from dis turbance.

Wool is not now quoted at more than living price, and speculators would not be so anxious to buy. unless the indications pointed to a rise in the near future.

OUR esteemed contemporary, the 1ri-
bune, had much to say OF democratic
bosses in its issue OF yesterday. With
out any violent effort, it seems to us, it
might drop on to some pretty offensive
types of republican bosses. Has our
contemporary ever heard of Boss Kim
ball, of Pennsylvania, OF addition,
division and silence" happy memory
and of his pal Titan j. Cofey? Then
there was Boss Dorsey, who was good
enough Morgan for almost any party,
and whose 'new and crisp two and five
dollar bills" did such good service in
the Garfield campaign of 1880. Boss
Dudley, also, seems to deserve some
slight recognition in the hurly-burly
OF passing political events. His "blocks
OF five t1oater" letter is an interesting
document that the esteemed Tribune
will probably admit stamped him as a
boss of the first order. And then what
is the matter with Boss Quay? He
would rank high in almost any party
and even the pious Boss John Wanna
maker is no slouch. When it comes to
bossism the republican party has nc
pressing occasion to take back seat.

SATURDAY, MAY "a, 1890.
A STANDARD OF SAN FRANCISCO REAL
ESTATE VALUES.

For some time past there has been
great activity in real estate transactions
in San Francisco. The sales, however,
have been mainly confined to the south
ern and western portions of the city.
No sale had been reported until lately
which fixed the values of Market-street
property in the very business center OF
the city until the purchase, the other
day, by Senator Hearst, of the Nucleus
block, on the corner of Market and
Third streets. This property is hun
dred feet on Market street by hundred
feet on Third street; and, altogether,
comprises ten thousand square feet.
The price paid was $3.50, 900, or $6, 500 a
front foot for short lot. This is the
highest price ever paid for property in
San Francisco, and probably outside of
New York and Chicago it has never been
equaled on this continent. In Chicago,
about a year ago, lot on Randolph
street, only seventy-five feet deep,
brought $500 a front foot, and up to
the great real estate boom following
the selection of Chicago as the site
for the Columbian fair this was the
largest price ever paid per front foot for
a lot in any American city, considering
the slight depth. For full-sized lot it
was at the rate Of $4,000 front foot,
figure which, we believe, has never been
exceeded in New York city.
1t is understood that the Eraminer is
about to erect on the lot purchased by
Mr.. Hearst magnificent newspaper
building, which will not be surpassed on
the American continent. The Nucleus
hotel will be torn down, and work will
be commenced at once. 1t is a some
what significant fact that the moment a
man becomes connected with news
paper his financial operations are on a
gigantic scale. John D. Rockefeller,
who was at one time a newspaper re-
porter, now rejoices in an income of
$1S,000,000 a year. Mr.. Willard, the
potent president of the Northern Pacific
railway, was at one time a reporter on
an Omaha paper. Since Senator Hearst
became connected with the Eraminer his
wealth has expanding at an unheard
of ratio, and his income is said to ex-
ceed million dollars year. No Won
der the rush to enter the newspaper
profession is alarming

WHAT DOES 1T MEANq

lhe s'ate. bank commissioners, when
they w'-re here, wr@te to the attorney
general for his opinion on she law gov
ernsng the deposits of state and county
moneys, and received the following
reply;
OFFICE OF THE ATToRNEY-GENERAL OFF
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
SACRAMENTO, May 10, 1890
Messrs. Potts &; Gerbenling, Bank Commits
sioners, San Francisco:
GENTLEMEN to yours of 18th
inst, from Los Angeles, l have to say
that the county treasurers cannot make
general deposits in the banks of county
funds. but sec. 81 OF the county govern
ment act does not prohibit them from
making special deposits for the safe
keeping Of such funds, the county
treasurers to be liable therefor on their
official bonds. l think if any such gem
eral deposits have been made. being
contrary to law, and you are advised
that such moneys are county moneys;
they should not be reported as assets of
the banks. The banks are bound to
know the law as well as the county
treasurers; sec. II, art. II of the con-
stltutlon. Very truly yours,
G. A. JOHNSON,
Attorney-General.
What we regard as very extraordinary
about this letter is that the commission
ers should have written to the attorney
general for information on subject
which is so universally known as the law
covering the deposit of public moneys.
The tenor of some parts of the attorney
generals reply to the commissioners
would raise the suspicion that they had
discovered in some of our banks in which
the public moneys were deposited that
they had been placed amongst the gen.
eral instead of the special deposits, and
we draw attention to this so that the
supervisors may see if the inference to
be drawn from this letter has any such
foundation in fact. The law is very ex-
plicit on the subject, and we herewith
append section 4161 of the code, to show
how positively peremptory it is:
4l61. The county treasurer must keep
all moneys belonging to this state, or to
any county of this state, in his own pos
session until disbursed according to law
He must not place the same in the pos
session OF any person to be used for any
purpose; nor must he loan or in any
manner use or permit any person to use
the same, except as provided by law !;
but nothing in this section prohibits him
from making special deposits for the safe
keeping of the public moneys.
Ii any bank in which the public
moneys have been deposited has deluded
the commissioners into counting those
moneys as assets, then the law has been
violated and a wrong impression of the
strength of the bank has been per-
mitted to go forth for effect upon the
public mind. The encouragement ex-
plicitly says that such moneys should
not be reported as assets, and if they
had not been, why would that official SO
write to the commissioners?

KNIGHTS OF HONOR.
Reception by the Los Angeles Lodges
to the Grand Dictator.


On Thursday night a large delegation
from Los Angeles lodge, Welcome lodge
and Angel City lodge met in the hall of
the latter in East Los Angeles, to well
come the grand officers of the grand
lodge of the Knights of Honor of this
state, who are at present visiting the
different lodges in the southern portion
of the state. The grand officers were
welcomed to Los Angeles in a most
happy manner by District Deputy R.
ID. Wade, which welcome was responded
to by Grand Dictator F. A. Sutherland
in a speech full of interest to the men,
bers, and in a manner which showed
the speaker to be possessed of fine ora
torical powers and fully conversant with
the workings of the order for which he
is laboring. His visits to the lodges
throughout the state will undoubtedly
prove OF great benefit to the order. He
was followed in a few well-timed re-
marks by Grand Vice-Dictator w. B.
Wadman, of Los Angeles, who, by his
zeal and interest in the order, has won
his way to the second Office in the gift of
the grand lodge OF the state.
Refreshments were afterwards served
the assemblage by the members of the
Angel City lodge, who won fer them
selves the encomiums of the visiting
brethren by the happy manner in which
they entertained.
The grand dictator exemplified the
secret work of the order before the close
OF the evenings exercises.

THE trial of D. H. Arnold at San Fran
cisco for the murder of Samuel w.
Garness developed one of the most
persistent and fendish attempts at
blackmail that has ever come to light in
this state. Mr.. Arnold and his wife
were on visit to Los Angeles three
years ago, when Garness was intro
duced to Arnold at the Nadeau house.
He seemed to have had previously a
slight acquaintance with Mrs. Arnold.
The home of the Arnolds was in Colusa,
where they were highly respected, Mr.
Arnold having been at one time sheriff
of the county and having amassed quite
a fortune. Soon after their return from
here a systematic plan of defamation
was commenced against them. Period
ically printed circulars grossly assailing
the virtue of Mrs. Arnold would be re-
ceived by the leading people of Colusa.
These libels from a mysterious source
preyed upon Arnold's mind to such an
extent that he was rendered nearly
crazy. At last he got on the track of
the author, and found that they eman-
ated from Garness, who was living in
San Francisco, and all the time pre-
tended to be warm friend of Arnold.
1t was shown by the evidence that
Garness not only got up the circu-
lars, but that through reporters of news
papers in San Francisco, he had pro-
cured the publication of sensational re-
ports of the libels in some of the bay
papers. One witness developed the true
inwardness of the cruel plot He swore
that Garness wanted him to go to Colusa
as reporter for a leading daily, and to
let it be bruited around that he was
writing up the Arnold sensation for his
paper. Arnold would hear of it, and
would offer to buy him off. He told him
to charge high-rot less than $4,000,
which he was satisfied he would get
and then they would divide. AS soon as
Arnold had fully satisfied himself that
Garness was the author of the circu-
lars that had destroyed his peace of
mind and caused inconceivable agony to
his family, he accused him of his per-
fdy and killed him. The prompt ac-
quittal OF Arnold by the jury ought to
have salutary effect upon this atrocious
breed of blackmailers.
