The press Of San Diego makes itself
ridiculous with its constant and petu-
liant complaints about Los Angeles, To
read these childish winnings one would
suppose that there was an organized
conspiracy of the people of this city to
injure our jealous neighbor. The latest
exhibition OF spleen is in the absurd de-
mand made by San Diego papers that
the Santa Fe company shall run their
overland tourist trains direct to San
Diego by the Temecula cafion route 80
as to avoid Los Angeles. This amazing
demand is made on the assumed ground
that when tourists are first landed i'm
Los Angeles our people set to work to
SO prejudice them against San Diego
that they cancel that part OF their
route. This is the merest nonsense.
The people of this city are not in the
habit OF running down San Diego to
tourists or anybody else. Indeed, they
would rather see that county prosper
than not. They would not put stone
IN its way if they could. Why should
they? There is 10 rivalry between
the two places, and these causeless COM
plants OF our neighbors only provoke
laughter.

a SUCCESSFUL SEASON ASSURED.

1t has at last come; and come in good
shape, with all the signs that we shall
have enough OF it to insure us one OF
the best years OF production we have
ever had. OF course, we mean the rain.
A gentle fall greeted us in the early
morning yesterday, and it continued
with very little cessation throughout the
day, and is still falling as we write, at q
well advanced hour in the night. The
grain crops will be SO benefited by this
timely visitation as to bring them to a
healthy maturity. Ahey were suffering
in some places for water, but as gem
eral thing they were in condition to
stand out for several weeks had the dry
weather continued. An inch or two of
rainfall at this time, with the spring
showers that never fail us, will give us a
splendid harvest. M
Everybody knows that it is not the
wettest seasons that are the best. So
far from that being the case, it is fact
that an over-wet season is hardly more
to be desired than an over-dry season.
In both cases there is bound to be a
short crop. Ten inches OF rain, fair
ly distributed as to time, is
better for our farmers than thirty
inches coming in great deluges
at long intervals. The outlook now is
that we shall have a model rain season,
and that the grain crop will be the
largest we have ever had. Wheat and
barley that had been giving signs of
weakness will now come to splendid
stand, and that which was backward in
coming up will now shoot forth vigor-
ously. The grass, too, will take on its
emerald hue, and make our hills look as
pretty as vernal picture.
We are greatly pleased that it is in
the power of the HERALD this morning
to congratulate our people upon the
timely break in the weather, and the
prospect before them of season of un-
surpassed agricultural prosperity.

Meaning of the Term Banco.

Banco is a commercial term, meaning
the standard money in which bank keeps
it's accounts, as distinguished from the cur
rent money of the place. The distinction
was more necessary when the currency
consisted, as it often did, of clipped, worn
and foreign coins. These the early banks
Venice, Amsterdam, etc. received at their
intrinsic worth and credited the depositor
with their bank value. The term was
chiefly applied to the money in which the
Hamburg bank kept its accounts before
the adoption of the new universal coinage
of the German empire. 1t was not repre-
sented by any coinage, Sweden had Pc
culiar bank. money, IS banco being equal
to So specie. Genoa had at one time i,
bank standard, and the present current
money, being different from that, is still
called "fuori banco" outside the bank.

THE writer of a communication which
appeared in yesterdays HERALD, on the
subject of the free coinage OF silver, falls
into the usual error of the opponents OF
that measure. Because silver as COM
modify is worth less than the parity of
gold, it does not follow that it would not
become equal with that metal if instead
of being demonetized, it were placed on
an equality with gold in the mints OF
the country. The writer takes it for
granted that if free coinage OF silver pre-
walls, the whole silver Of the world will
be dumped upon us, and the gold it
represents be taken away from us. The
entire annual production of silver is
about $l60, 100000. OF this we produce
about one-third, and our correspondent
seems to contend that we ought to have
excluded foreign silver from the benefits
of free coinage by handicapping it with
tariff. This would perhaps have been
a wise precaution if it were not for the
fact that free coinage OF silver will OBJ
viate any such process of exclusion, for
when the white metal reaches parity
with gold in this country, it must of
necessity do the same in other countries.
England requires all the silver she can
get to supply the demand from India.
The Latin union will resume coinage on
the old basis as soon as the United States
adopts free coinage. Germany will
probably try TO hold out against BIZ
metallism but both she and England
will be compelled, in defense of their
commercial exigencies, to fall into line
and recognize the white metal in its
relation with gold as legal money for
all transactions. India and China alone,
without considering the consumption
in the arts, will absorb the two-thirds
annual foreign production OF silver, and
the other third will hardly meet the
increasing need OF the people OF this
country alone for circulation and the
manufactures in which it is used. Free
coinage OF silver will help to make up
for the great inadequacy of our circula-
ton. 1t will difuse money amongst the
people, relieve the stringency in the
money market, help enterprise by de-
creasing the rates of interest and sub
stitute activity for stagnation in all our
industries.

HE is A PROPHET.
When Rain Will Fall for This Whole
Season.

The following reached the HERALD on
Saturday last, and was crowded out yes
terday morning:
EDITORS HERALD: l would gladly tell
the people that there are large quantities
of rain yet to fall this season, did l
think so; but after a residence of forty
two years in California, l have never
seen the signs of a dry season SO strongly
marked as at present. The first rain OF
the season fell on the last quarter of the
moon, to me an infallible sign of light
rainfall. Nearly all the rain SO far for
the season has fallen on the last quar-
ter of the moon. I should look for
rain On the last quarter OF this
moon were not the change at an
unfavorable hour. Yet we may have a
light shower. There are no signs of
rain before the 10th of February, and
then but slightly so before the 25th,
when hope TO see some rain. But /
feel sure OF good downfall between the
9Th and 10th of March. The last half OF
March looks unfavorable for moisture,
and the whole of April, like January,
looks dry. There may be light showers
in the first half OF May, but the last half
will be unusually wet for that time f
year. Some of the papers have refuse d
to publish these predictions. / hope
the HERALD will be less thin skinned.

done even in spite of the rain of yester-

tlcal minds may seem to prove the
prophet to be false one.
