this matter of getting rid of the

in Reducing Prices is to Re-

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, SALARIES.

The entire School Department is excited
over the proposition to withhold half a
months salary in June. The amount in
voved is out of proportion to the turmoil the
proposition creates. There are between eight
and nire hundred men and women who will
lose sum ranging from S25 to 500. Either
amount may seem small to many of our
readers, but it is of considerable Importance
to the teachers, most of whom have de-
pendent relatives to support. In point of
fact there is no such thing as a months
salary for schoOl-teachers. They are salaried
by the year and paid in monthly INSTALL
ments. They are not actually engaged in
teaching in June, but yearly salary covers
that month as we'll as others. 1t is of little
use to close the schools for two weeks with
view to saving salaries. Comparatively few
of the teachers could use the time to advau-
tage, and their ordinary expenses would be
the same as if at work. 1t is bad policy to
economic at the expense of the teachers. A
woman who needs every dollar of her salary
and who knows that she has earned it may
submit to its loss il she cannot help it. but
she will not submit silently. II only one
talked, the department might dispense with
her services, but when all talk at once the
case presents greater difficulties.

SILVER AND GOLD COIN.

A newspaper contemporary in this city,
which urges that the United States Mint
ought to be opened to any person who has
silver bullion for coinage into dollars free of
expense, quotes the following testimony of
Baron Alphonse de ROthsehild, given before
the French Monetary Commission in 1868:
Whether gold or silver dominates for the time
being, it Is always true that the two metals con-
cur together In forming The monetary circulation
OF the world, and it is the general mass Of The
twometals combined which serves as the measure
OF he value of things. In countries with the
double standard the principal circulation viii al
ways be established Of that metal which is the
most abundant.
This paragraph, instead of proving what
our contemporary would have it, proves di-
rectly the opposite. De Rrthschild saws:
I'm countries with the double standard the
principal circulation will always be estab
lished of that metal which is the most album
dant." In other words, silver would be the
metal in which values would be reckoned
should we coin silver free of charge for who
ever might present it at the minis. Baron
de ROthscnild would not be likely to give
American gold coin for silver dollars, OF
which the silver is worth only about so cents
on dollar. The question of free coinage
of silver at present turns upon the idea
whether it is worth while for the Govern
ment to give the owners of silver 90 cents
per ounce more than it is worth, or if the
profit should be made by the United States
and turned into the Treasury. The safest
policy Is that which is now being pursued.
and which will not drive out of the country
our gold coin.

"EOOTPADS.n

&" Footpads are one class of robbers.
They are not the worst, as they operate on
the wrong side of the law. A man may
easily provide himself with a small pistol
and thus make the footpad method OF rob-
berry dangerous. If two or three footpads
should be killed by their intended victims
the rest would be discouraged. The plea OF
self-defense would cover the act of killing.
whether the footpad was armed or not.
When man is stopped on the street in the
night and requested to "throw his hands
up" he has right to assume that the attack
ing party is prepared to kill if the robbery
is not patiently submitted to. There are
good many men in the city who regard high
way robbery as an occupation, the principal
objection to which is the danger attending
it, They claim that they have as good a
right to get peoples money that way as the
Stock Rep0rthas to get it by system of over
charging, which is made legal by corrupt
Board of Supervisors. The only question
which appears worthy of consideration is,
if they can get off with the booty without a
broken head There is certain advantage
in being on the right side of the law, but
from moral point of view there is not much
difference in the methods of robbery.

THE FACTS OF THE CASE.
The New York World justiies the censure
,f Minister Miner on the following grounds:

The New York World justifies the censure
of Minister Miner on the following grounds:
BarrundIa was on board OF an American vessel
bound from one port outside OF Guatemala to an
other port also outside Of Guatemala. He had
not offended against the ordinary laws OF Qua
temala. He had attempted to take part In war
between it and Salvador, war that was ended
ana the participants In which had been pard0ned.
IL became, therefore, the duty Of the American
Minister to do his utmost for Barrundias protec-
ton, and II was also the duty OF Commander
Relter 10 offer him safe asylum.
If this statement we're true the censure of
Minister Miner and Commander Reiter
would be justified. But if this statement
were true there would probably have been
no Barrundia case. The Guatemalan author
tiles would not have demanded Barrundia
if his sole offense had been pardoned. and
he would not have been surrendered If they
had. Minister Miner states distinctly that
Barrundia was charged with other than
political offenses. If he was, the charge be-
ing properly sworn to, it would have been
high-handed proceeding to have given him
asylum. The fact that Barrundia COM
menced firing as soon as informed of the
purpose to arrest him indicates that he had
much reason to fear the result of an eXami-
nation. If he knew that he had only been
guilty of political offense, and that that
offense had been pardoned, he would hardly
have riSked death in an effort to resist arrest.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The California fruit-groweTs having enjoyed a
season of phenomenal prosperity, the State Is
now receiving the benefit OF 1t by large areas
being converted into orchards and vineyards. a
local shipper estimates that the producers real
lied S15, 900. 600 The past season for their green
and dried fruits, rasins walnuts, almonds and
honey. Tie overland shipments he places al
about 400 cars OF raislns, $500 cars OF dried
fruits and 150 cars OF honey; but OF these ship
meDis 125 cars Of dried fruits, rs of raislns
aud 10 cars of honey were shipped before the
new crop OF 1890 was ready for shipment, and
should lie credited TO the product OF the previous
year. The prospects for the new crop are pro-
nOunced excellent. with good demand and
bare market. The remarkable demand for fruit
trees, that are now being set out by the tens OF
thousands, is bound to result in Increased MILL
ions being placed, in the near future, at the dis
posal OF our fruit growers.
While efforts are being made on this Coast 10
introduce and protect the song birds OF other
climes, professional sportsmen have been killing
them by wholesale in the East-shIpping them to
New York for millinery purposes. Friends Of
the melodious warblers are now making strenu-
Gus efforts TO secure the enactment of laws de-
signed to stay this ruthless slaughter. A recent
investigation showed that no less than 10000
dead birds were shipped from one valley Of New
York in single season. ana that million bob
olinks were killed in the eastern part OF Penn
Sylyania IN a month.
The revolutionary uprising at Oporto, accord
ing TO late adyices, has been quelled and The
probabilities are that the unfortunate ring
leaders VIII be shot. Perhaps this result stays
for while longer the transformation so many
have expected TO take place. The people now
stagger under the burden OF debt that exceeds
$40 head OF the population and affairs have
been going from bad TO worse. II Dom Pc

Booths scheme for the ameliOra tion of the
distressed in Great Britain must have attracted
some attention in Russia, where the Ministry OF
the Interior has approved project to establish
agricultural colonies for the accommodation of
professional begears and vagrants. A special
commission has been appointed 10 consider the
proposition and present plans to the ministerial
Council for adoption.

THE LAND-LOAN SCHEME.

The land-loan scheme has not been Sc
rously discussed in this State. The fact
that the Constitution does not confer upon
the National Government authority to lend
money has possibly had something to do
with the indifference with which this scheme
has been regarded. The presumption is. of
course. that Congress viii not attempt
to do anything that is clearly uncon-
stitutionai. But the action of the State
Senate on the resolution asking Congress to
adopt the scheme calls for protest. II the
Senate voted for the resolution as a kind of
compliment to Senator Stanford it may be
urged in extenuatiOn that the Senators
. thought 1t duty to give Mr.. Stanford
KIND of Presidential send-off. We assume
that the Senators regarded the scheme as
lmpracticable, but thought an Endorsement
of 1t could do them no harm, aud might do
Mr.. Stanford some good. There are some
propositions which cannot be discussed Sc
rlously. They present upon examination so
many absurd features that earnest treat
ment of them becomes reflection upon
ones reasoning powers. The proposition to
lend irredeemable paper currency on thiags
that may or may not have market value
equal to the sum loaned suggests an inter-
niinable round of operations. The currency
itself being irredeemabe and the things
often YaluelesS, unless there is an owner to
look after them, there is in the end re-
markable resemblance between the two
principal factors of the transaction.
