THERE is damage suit on trial in
this city which has brought out phase
of character in some OF the witnesses
which should consign them to popular
infamy. Glib fellows get upon the
stand, and without the slightest sense
of shame testify to acts which not only
stamp upon their foreheads the seal of
an incapable depth OF depravity, but
deprives their testimony OF the slightest
credence with honorable men. 1t has
the indelible stain of infamy upon it,
and is as worthless for the purpose OF
arriving at truth as would be the pro-
verbal "dicers' oaths."

of the world have now probably reached
a point when the great injustice of 1873
will be rectifed, and when the remon-
citation of silver will energize the pro-
ductive capabilities of mankind in all
quarters of the world.
All great reforms are always opposed
with fanatical distinctions. In the
United States we are told that if we dare
to remonetize silver we shall be over
whelmed by the amount of that metal
that will pour into us from other coun-
tries.
In the name of all the Gods at once,
where is this redundant silver to come
from? Germany long ago sold all she
had. France holds on to her own store,
and Justly regards it as precious. The
silver production of the world is well
known. 1t is limited. 1t barely suffices
for the needs of England and the arts.
AS matter of fact, it does not even
suffice for these two purposes.
Yet we are told that, if we dare to re-
store silver to its old rightful status, the
stock of gold now held by the United
States will be drained away from it.
''In the name of the prophet, figs"
If ever there was non seqaiitir, or
what is in the mathematics called a
reductio ad dbsurddm, it is surely here.
England needs our silver. As the bal
ance of trade, as respects the United
States and the outside world, is ordinar-
lily enormously in favor of this country
England must pay for our silver in gold.
In consequence, the higher we rate sill
yer the more gold England will have to
pay for it. She would prefer to buy it
in pigs, as she does iron, copper and
lead, but if she is obliged to buy our
standard dollars and melt them down
into rupees, the more gold we shall
have.
If we exact it, gold she must pay. 1t
amounts to gold in any event.
The conditions of production and
transportation are such in India that
unless England can buy cheap silver
she can't raise wheat in opposition to
the California and other United States
producers of that staple.
AS consequence, the price of Amer
ican and Russian wheat will go up,
while we shall have abundant gold in
return for the American silver the
English perforce must have.
This is the law and the prophets OF
the matter, and it is the reason why
every freeborn American should be in
favor of free silver coinage.

WHEN Senator Vest, on Friday, came
back at Dolph with his terrific rejoinder
in the discussion upon the force bill, he
might have added that the report OF the
senate labor committee, in 1883, showed
that in the great factories and mills in
Massachusetts, the operatives were com
PEELED to vote as their employers die
tated or lose their situations. There
may be intimidation in the south, but
we have the positive proof that the
practice is common in the east. The
operatives may not be told in SO many
words that they will be discharged un-
less they vote as the boss indicates; but
it is well understood that they viii lose
their places unless they do So

tinues to crowd the Los Angeles nightly.

performance. The season closes tonight
with Sunday evening performance.
Frauein Adele Aus der Ohe gave her
second concert last night at Turner hall
before a select and delighted audience.
This young lady is certainly the greatest
pianist that has visited this coast at any
time.
Emma Abbotts present engagement
in san Francisco shows that the strength
of Abbott opera this season is positive
and marked. for the week just closed is
the most successful any Abbott COM
pany ever had in that city. The secret
of the surprising success this season is
the uniform strength of the company
throughout, from Emma Abbott down
to the big bass fiddle in the orchestra.
AS a whole the company is new, though
a number of familiar faces appear in
the list. The operas are reported to be
magnifcently staged also, the Abbott
toilets for the season costing $4,000 in
round numbers. "Such toilets were
never seen on any stage" one critic
wrote OF them.
The 'bbott season at the Los Angeles
theater begins Monday, December q,
running four days, with matinee
on Wednesday, and a special
Christmas matinee on Thurs
day. Emma Abbot will sing at
every performance. An exceptional
repertoire is provided-"E Ernani, "Ro-
meo and Juliet" Bohemian Girl, -
"Anne Boleyn," !" Rose of Castile' and
'Il Trovatore.' The sale for all per-
formances will open tomorrow morning

WE are not in the habit of often max
ing illusions to ourselves. But the phe-
nomenal increase of our subscription
list justifies the mention of fact that is
at once gratifying and complimentary to
the conductors of the HERALD. Whilst
it is true that the steady increase of the
population OF Los Angeles accounts in a
measure for the great accession OF sub
scribers, yet the fact that the HERALD is
conducted on progressive principles and
in the interest of every movement that
tends to develop our matchless resources,
as well as on plane of journalism that
commends itself to the best thought OF
our people, cuts no insignificant figure
in the marvellous increase in the num-
Der of our subscribers.

CHAPTER II.

The day was heavy, close and gloomy. Thun-
der clouds hung lowering in the sky and the
glory Of the summer sun was hidden. A
storm was evidently brewing. and all nature
seemed to know that some catastrophe was at
hand. The birds were silent; tho butterflies,
resting with folded wings, were indistinguish-
able from the moss, if patent enough on the
flowers No gnats nor day-fiies danced or
flashed overhead but big black hairy flies,
blue-bottles, hornets, dragon-iiies and all
singing creatures were in full activity, and in
the breathless stiffness the spiders wove their
cruel nets in covered places without fear Of
failure from the wrecking Of the wind.

Lindsay Kershaw was there, too. Algern0n
had brought him. ~ he did whenever he
could-and that whenever the young ath-
lete had nothing more exacting on hand in the
way of cricket or foot ball. II was too sultry to
sit in the house and we were all scattered about
the lawn-some lying on the tiger skin and
some sitting on the garden seats.
