If Secretary Foster voices the views of
the administration on the gold and silver
question, as quoted in yesterdays dis
patches, the public have clearly misun-
derstood or misinterpreted its opposition
to free coinage. According to the Sec
retary's idea the coinage of either of the
coin metals is a useless expense upon
the government and is not demanded in
the interest of trade, domestic or for
eign, but in fact is detrimental to the
commerce and industries of the country,
inasmuch as the issuing of the coin tends
to the contraction of the active circula-
ton because the possession of the coin is
an inducement to the possessor to hoard
it, whereas, if a certificate representa-
tive of the coin were issued it would not
be boarded but would go on its mission
of exchange. Mr.. Fosters idea will not
meet with hearty echo from the east,
but it accords with the belief of large
number of people in every other part of
the country.

A short distance from the courthouse
was the Vernon Fruit Packing house.
Everything was 80 plainly represented
that one saw how the fruit is handled,
from the time it leaves the tree, until the
boxes were loaded in Santa Fe fruit
car, which stood upon make-believe
track near by.
Looking down from the stage we
noticed, tucked away in one corner, a
fisherman's hut surrounded by beautiful
flowers, both wild and cultivated; lovely
sea shells, fruits and nuts, and all the
notices were made of lace like seaweed.
1t is Santa Monica's.
There were many other displays on the
first floor, but we wished to see what the
gallery contained and accordingly went
above.
Most noticeable among the designs In
the gallery was the one from San Diego
Upon raised platform were mirrors to
represent the bay, and upon it were two
miniature ocean steamers. One was at
the wharf and. the other seemed starting
on voyage. Coronado beach was per-
fectly outlined with sand and rocks,
while high up upon the rock of the main
land was the light house.
In the south end of the gallery Santa
Barbara had fine display of banana
trees, loaded with fruit. and, indeed,
nearly everything in the fruit line.
The gallery was we'll filled with fruits
and lovely fowees, but full descrip-
ton would be impossible.
How did they fasten the fruit on, in
making the designs?
By tying it on with invisible copper
wire, by stringing it on as you would
beads, and by filling it in between wood
en- foundations and very open wire net

The expected marriage of Mr.. Parnell
and Mrs. OShea that was to take place
as soon as it could, legally, is now re-
garded as doubtful. 1t is stated upon
what is regarded as excellent authority
that the objection proceeds from Mrs.
O'Shsa, who, it is alleged, has become
disguised with Mr.. Parnell's conduct and
now believes that the gentleman is actu-
ated by no higher motive in wishing to
become her husband than to obtain pos
session of her money to bolster up his
personal cause. 1t is more than likely,
however, that this is a scheme of the
Irish leaders personal enemies to injure
him politically. 1t would seem that they
had worked the racket for all it was
worth long ago, and shows that they
have exhausted their store of opposition.

PRESIDENT HARRIsoN's MISTAKE.
To the Editor of the Eagle

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
In an interview with a Tribune re-
porter recently President Harrison said,
she favored the free coinage of silver up
to certain point, where he thought it
could be used safely: to 60 further would
result in the depreciation of silver; de-
prediated dollars first mission is to go
out and cheat some workman in pay
ment of his days dues" l was in a bank
twelve years prior to the demonstration
of silver in 187S-and during the free
coinage of gold and silver-and never
saw any difference between a gold and
silver dollar. The one passed as freely
as the other, but the moment the act was
passed it appreciated gold and de-
preciated silver by suppressing it so that
for the last thirteen years it has failed
perform to its full functions
and has robbed the workmen of millions
of days dues and will continue to
do so until free coinage.
On the other hand the appreciated gold
dollar is permitted to combine on the
necessaries of life and rob the laborers of
America of millions and millions. So
the tariff bill by the admission of foreign
raw products, which we could grow,
has robbed the farmer of millions and
millions and millions. And the importa-
ton Of foreign manufactured goods
which we could produce, has robbed the
American citizen of millions, millions and
millions more: and the reciprocity which
now permits the free exchange of our
goods for those raw products which we
can produce, continues to rob us of
millions and millions. The present ad-
ministration, as he says, has been re-
markable; yes, remarkably extravagant
with the peoples money-just think of
it-over billion dollars!
believe the government could be run
just as satisfactorily to the people for
one-fourth of that amount. 1t ought not
to exceed one-third, at most. There are
appropriations that are unnecessary, and
other large appropriations where the de-
partments ought to be self-supporting.
The president did not know whether the
elections bill would become an issue in
the next campaign or not. Mr.. Presi-
dent, if the free ballot in America
is suppressed in the south, it will break
out in rivers of blood to gain its freedom.

Great Mems Sons,

The discovery that John A. Logan, the
son of the senator from Illinois, has just
won a horse race at Guttenburg under
the name of "Mr. Manning" suggests to
some people the fact that Allan w. Thur

has just figured most conspicuously i'll

The Silver Problem.

From the New York Sun
Murat Halstead is the apostle of silver.
He declares that he has found the pana-
cea, and he propounded it to q number
Of western silver men at the Fifth
Avenue hotel last evening. Il would
continue the present bullion buying plan
of the government exactly as il is" said
he. II would supplement it BY the plan
of Logan c. Murray, of the United
States National bank, of this civ. a
bright young student of finance. He
would have it provided that the national
banks could not buy and deposit bullion
in Washington as security for national
bank note circulation instead Of bonds
That will do the business sure. Adopt
that plan and the silver problem will
disappear like the mist Of morning be-
fore the sum-
