Lamb, Secretary of the Virginia State
Bar Association, a pamphlet copy of the
address delivered before the association
by Hon. E. c. Burks, it's president, at
the recent meeting held at the White
Sulphur Springs.
The subject of the address is the recent
revision of the laws of Virginia, in
which work Judge Burks took disting

the author has pointed out with great
skill and ability the numerous changes
made in the law, and the reasons there

In the absence of report by the re-
visors, for which the Legislature did not
make adequate provision, this address is
almost indispensable to the Virginia
lawyer. All members of the association
have been furnished with copies, and
the secretary will be pleased to send a
copy to any lawyer, not a member of
the association, who desires it and will
apply to him at Richmond.

In the Hands Of a Receiver.

The Paper Fabrique Company OF
Basic City has been placed in the hands
of a receiver, but the receiver had con-
siderable trouble in getting possession OF
the machinery. Before the receiver S
papers had been formally made out,
the most valuable of the machinery had
been shipped to the Whitlock Machine
Company, Birmingham, Conn. N. y.
Watts. sheriff and receiver, had some OF
it stopped by telegraph by reason OF an
injunction issued by Judge Grattan to
the Norfolk and Western and Chesa-
peake and Ohio railways, to prevent
them from carrying it out of the State.
At Roanoke, Watts got possession OF It,,
and it was returned to Basic City, where
it now is. Hon. Ed. Echols was counsel
for the Connecticut company, and was
present in Roanoke to care for the in
terests of his client j. and J. L. Bum

preventing the removal Of the property
We do not know what the contention
is in this case, or the claims of the Basic

Company's property. But we know
there were some sharp practice attemp-
ted by the latter from the-run that was
made to get the machinery out OF the
State and the other side to hold it here.

Evils Of Free Coinage.

from tne baltimore Sun.
An Ohio banker who is in Washington
for few days tells of an incident in con
nection with his business, which ought
to illustrate the evils of the free coinage
of silver so forcibly that no one would
advocate the theory.
"A Chlnaman came into my bank the
other day, " said the banker, and wanted
$240 in exchange on Hong Kong. He said
he intended buying some goods over
there, and could use Mexican dollars the
same as gold, as China was on a silver
basis. He asked me how many Mexican
silver dollars | would give him on Hong
Kong for the money laid by him on the
counter. Mind you. a silver dollar of
our country is on the same basis in Can
ada, China, and for all I know, every
other country, with a Mexican dollar.
II looked at my daily exchange list
and told the Chinaman | would give
him in Hong Kong even three hundred
Mexican dollars for his $3.50 in our own
money oyer my counter. He took the
exchange and made for himself $50, you
see, while at the same time he paid me
discount of $12. In other words, he got
a gross profit of $72 in Mexican silver in
Hong Kong, China. for $240 in Ohio
Now, continued the banker, 'you can
see what free coinage would result in for
this country. China has silver stand
ard. She has no gold. 1t has gone out
of the country for foreign silver. 1t
would take foreigners but short time
to supplant our gold with their silver
dollars, worth now but seventy-six cents

of the Temple block facing on the foot
of Temple street, and without discussing
the legal merits OF the case, permit me
to offer a simpler solution of the diff
Guilty that has caused the present litiga-
ton than awaiting and abiding by the
decision OF the court.
No one would wantonly mutilate a
building which is at once landmark
and an ornament to the city; but GER
taiply more space is needed at the point
liz question, and if the city does not al
ready own the land it must eventually
acquire it, even by condemnation If
necessary. My suggestion is that the
sidewalk facing the square be added to
it, and that sidewalk be run under the
building parallel to the present one, the
facade of Temple block being supported
by slender iron or steel columns.
This is no novel idea. 1t is exempli-
fed in many of the cities of continental,
Europe, notably Berne, Switzerland, and
the Rialto of Paris.
No'attorney, however sure of the mer-
its of his clients cause, despises any
proposition which may be the basis OF
an honorable compromise. l therefore
throw out this hint to them and the
public. G..

Tobacco Needs Rain.

EDITORS HERALD: In an editorial this
morning you refer to the practicability
of raising tobacco in California. You
say that at Gilroy soEce years ago excel
lent cigars were made from tobacco
grown near there.
Those cigars made there were failure.
They could not commando price in the
market, and were very shortly consid-
cred of such poor quality as to discour-
age the leaders of The new industry.
There was something lacking in the
quality of the tobacco raised. In Vir-
ginia, Kentucky and Ohio it is ccnsid-
cred essential to have about so much
rain during the growth of the tobacco,
to wash some OF the gum from the leaf,
in order to have the tobacco not too
strong and rank.
l, as a cigar maker. have tried Califor-
MIA tobacco, and find it altogether too
rank in taste and flavor to be suitable
for cigars, and in my opinion the lack OF
rain causes the rankness, by not wash
ing some OF the gum from the leaf dur
ing growth. CIGAR MAKER.

"THE ST. JULIAN"
The Grand Opening to Take Place on
Tuesday Evening.

Tuesday Evening.
The Carleton saloon, at 243 South
Spring street, will no longer be known
by that name. The place has changed
hands, and it will open its doors to the
public on Tuesday evening, and will
be hereafter conducted under the man
agement of Mr.. Ben Hunsacker, as the
est. Julian" No pains or expense have
been spared to have it fitted up in a
most elaborate manner, and to make it
second to no saloon in the city in ap-
pearance, and the quality of the liquors
and cigars to be dispensed. The place
has been entirely renovated, and is at
present one of the finest fitted up
saloons and billiard rooms in Southern
California. New billiard and pool tables
have been placed in position, and eIe-
CANT mirrors and bric-a-brac tend to
make the ''St. Julian" most inviting.
Neatly arranged and commodious pri-
vate rooms will be at the disposal of the
patrons. The place will be conducted
as first-class in every respect. The
present manager, Mr.. Hunsacker, is a
gentleman well known in this section,
and he fully understands the business.
His customers can rest assured of receiv-
ing courteous treatment, and having
only the very best of goods dealt out to
them. The present management has
had nothing whatever to do with the
place heretofore, and in the future it
will be carried on as one of the leading
saloons in the city, and conducted ex-
clusively as a respectable resort. The
public are cordially invited to attend
the opening on Tuesday night next and
inspect one OF the finest places OF its
elegant repast will be served on the
above evening, and fine orchestra will
be in attendance.

California Banks Solid,


EDITORS HERALD: By examining the
reports of the bank commissioners of
California and the United States treas
urer's reports, find the following re-
suits on the first day of January, 1891 {:
All the banks of California owed to de-
positors $144 per capita, while the peo-
pie owed the banks $165 per capita, and
the banks had on hand as a reserve fund
$17 per capita. While the treasurer's
report shows that all the banks in the
United States had on hand at the same
time money on deposit, $40 per capita.
while the people only owed the banks
$50 per capita, and the banks had money
on hand as a reserve fund 81 per capita.
This makes a splendid showing for our
California banks, and shows why they
were able to send millions back to the
east in time of the late panic to help the
eastern banks tide over their difficulty.
The people owe the banks of California
$2l per capita more than the banks owe
the people, and the banks have $17 per
capita as reserve fund, while all the
banks OF the United States owe the peo
pie for deposits ST. per capita more than
the people owe the banks, and the
banks only have 81 per capita as re-
serve fund. II any banks in the world,
except those of France, are solvent,
surely our California banks are. How
the people are affected by this great off
ference in the banks I have not studied
out yet, but hope to be able to explain
it in my next communication. But why,
with this showing, should money be
scarce in California. J. W. PoTTs.

-REDONDO.

Improvement is never at a standstill
IN Redondo, and though only small
place, yet she has the advantages of a
city. Everyone who has been on the
magnificent cement promenade in front
of the big hotel knows what pleasure
at is to have such a walk so near the
ocean, and now another is in progress
from the Redondo railway station out
past the elegant residence of DR.. q del
-Amo, which is on high bluff over
Cooking the ocean. This walk will be
a great addition, and enable guests OF
the hotel to stroll as far as they please
without the inconvenience OF plodding
through the sand The paving will also
extend to the tennis court.
The tropical gardens OF the Redondo
have been greatly improved lately,
aaa any new varieties of plants having
been set out, and, sheltere from the
<usean breeze, are growing rapidly. Some
5itine finest specimens of the Abyssin-
ian bananas to be found in Southern
! California are grown in these gardens.

,carnation pinks, which are becoming

Redondo, and are very fine indeed. The

evening is going to be excellent also.
Colonel and Mrs. P. G. Baker and
little con Roy returned to the Redondo,
Friday, from a iew-days' visit up in the
mountains, only to appreciate Redondo
more thoroughly from having been alb

wills quickly follow. The wages of the

evils quickly follow. The wages of the
employees are cut down; adults are dis
charged and children employed; for
eigners are imported to take the place
of the American laborer, and trusts with
other hat makers are formed; strikes
and lock-outs ensue, and the whole in
dustrial system is found to be out of or
der-all the result of protective
tariff laws which interfered with
the natural laws of trade, which
stimulated the manufacturing of an
article, and forcing it on the market far
in excess of any healthy natural demand
for it.
Not only is this true as to the manu-
facture of hats. but of all other goods.
The following evils may be charged up
to the protective system:
Such laws are "class laws.
They are of benefit to the few instead
of the many.
They create an artificial market for
goods.
They stimulate the manufacture of
wares in excess of healthy demand.
They work an injury not only to the
consumer, but to the capitalist who is
induced to build manufactures not
needed.
They are prolific cause OF trusts and
combinations among manufacturers who
feel justified in res0rting to such meth
ods that they may protect themselves
from loss.
In their very nature such laws not
only interfere with the fundamental
laws of trade, but aoe narrow and sell
fish, being enacted for the purpose of
building up one nation and one calling
or industry at the expense of another
equally as honorable and deserving.
Is it not high time that this govern
ment should go back to first principles
and look after the interests of the many
instead of the few-to stop making class
laws, and to get out of the narrow,
selfish ruts, and make this in truth as
we'll as in name government of the
people, by the people and for the
people?
Now that the census reports show
that about one-third of the homes of the
people of the United States are mort
gagged, and it appearing from statistics
that the wealth producers of the coun-
try get but one-tenth of the one billion
of their annual earnings, and that the
wealth of the country has been so
rapidly drifting into the hands of the
few, till now 100000 men own more
property in the United States than is
possessed by 64,OO0,o00 of people, and
the great industrial problems are agi-
tating the country like mighty earth
quake, is it not an insult to the intelli-
gence of the country for great party to
dodge all the living, burning questions
OF the day and come before the country
on but one Issue. and that the old,
threadbare proposition OF protection ?"
If can read correctly the signs of the
times, the threshing of old political
straw and the raising of the old party
war-whoops by the party bosses will not
enthuse the masses in the future as they
have in the past. The people, especially
the farmers and industrial classes, are
earnestly studying the great political
and industrial problems now up for so.
