vancing, gold is pouring into the country
like mill-race, and silver is twenty
cents an ounce higher than before the
passage OF the bill. At one time the
price OF silver reached 81 20 an ounce.
Nine cents more, and gold and silver
would have been at parity, and the
first great step in the financial emanci-
patton of the people of the United States
and of the world at large would have
been achieved.
The people demand more money. The
first step in that direction is the re-
monetization OF silver in the United
States, which will mean its remonetiza-
ton throughout the entire world.
What other steps should then be
taken to expand the volu me
of the currency to the real needs of this

to consider at its leisure. The mere
restoration of silver alone to its old and

THE gentlemen who oficiated as
Judges at the races last week discharged
their functions with great ability and
impartiality. In no respect did they
acquit themselves more to the satisfac-

a scoundrelly JOB to sell race in which
a Jockey was bought and a horse tam
pered with. They owe it to the public
to give full and unsparing judgment
and report concerning that transaction,
no matter whom it may strike. Such

THE CHRYSANTHEMUM FAIR-AN UN-
FORTUNATE COLLISION.

There is just now very unpleasant
development in Los Angeles, and one
which ought not to have been permitted
to occur. Some three months ago the
ladies of the Chrysanthemum society OF
this city announced their purpose to
hold fair, the third of the series. They
made great preparations, intending to
hold it on large plot OF ground adjoin-
ing the Simpson tabernacle. They have
fitted up this large plot with frameworks
on which they have trained flowers that
have been growing for months
past, and their intelligent and
painstaking efforts have resulted
in bewildering array OF floral beauty.
They have, in addition, designed to use
the auditorium of the Simpson taberna-
Gle for entertainments which will run
through the week and which, it is said,
will be of a very pleasing order. All
these preparations the ladies have made,
and they had announced, besides,
that they would formally open their ex-
hibit on Tuesday evening, October 9th.
The announcement of their purpose was
made in all the newspapers OF Los An
geles, and they naturally expected
the pecuniary return that their en-
terprise warranted. Their surprise,
therefore, was extreme when another
organization, calling itself the Horticul-
tural society, hired Hazards pavilion,
and announced the opening of the Sec
ond Annual Chrysanthemum Fair. The
ladies feel that their thunder has been
stolen and that a wrong has been perpe-
trated. They believe that they had pre-
empted the field and that they have the
right of succession to the crysanthemum
fairs of the past. The HERALD thinks
that they present a strong case;
and, while by no means antagon-
istic to the display of the Hor-
ticultural society while, in fact,
strongly friendly to tit does not be-
lieve that there is anything like fair
play in the gentlemen who have an
nounced the exhibit in Hazards pavil-
ion as the Second Annual Chrysanthe-
mum Fair, while that adjoining the Simp-
son tabernacle is in truth the third an
nual fair of that name. 1t is highly TO be
deprecated that the several exhibitions
should open the same night and run
during the same week,
