The Old Board of Library Directors
Hold Their Offices.


Hold Their Offices.
There was an adjourned meeting OF
the board of directors of the Los Angeles
public library yesterday morning.
The newly elected board of trustees
were present and formal demand was
made by them for the books and prop
erty of the library. Whereupon the
following resolution was made by Di-
rector Howard
Whereas, On this 9Th day OF January,
1891, there appeared before this board
Messrs. T. r. Willis. J. M. Quinn, f. f..
Holloway and E. W. Jones, claiming to
be board of library directors, elected
and qualified as such and claiming as
such board to have the right to control
and manage the public library now un-
der the control of this board, and de-
manded that this board should deliver
over to them the property OF said
library; and
Whereas, This board was appointed by
the mayor of the city of Los Angeles on
the 25th day of March, 1889, to hold
Office for two years and until their sue

mayor, and qualified according to the
provisions.of the charter OF the city of

THAT SILVER BRICK.
A FINANCIAL BULWARK.
Statement of the Farmers and Merch
ants Bank.


Evidently the wolf is not at the door
OF Los Angeles. The statement of the
Farmers and Merchants bank, made a
week ago, appears in the HERALD this
morning. The cry is that there is no
money. This bank has some left. It
has half million actual cash on hand.
That is $40 for each man, woman and
child in the city, and say $50 for each
family. This bulwark of finance has
round million of available cash. 1t
has total of resources to the enormous
sum OF $3,347 ,425.3S. Its deposits, due
on call to the people. amount to the
snug sum OF $2,203, ,351.11. Somebody
in Los Angeles has money.
Nor is any OF this dead capital. Last
year this bank paid its stockholders
1886 900, in dividends and undivided
profits, and then paid an extra quarterly
dividend as New Years present equal
to II per cent. per annum on the capi-
tai stock, amounting to the gross sum
Of 1000. Thus it will be seen that
while the bank is managed most con-
servatively, it is not handled timidly,
but most wisely for the benefit of all
concerned. 1t is distinction to city
Of the size of Los Angeles to have bank
like this, and it is more than distinc-
ton, it is a safeguard to all our in
terests.

DOWN WENT MGlNTY.
And The Band Played Annie Rooney on
the March.


About O'Clock yesterday afternoon
the people along the streets near the
center of the city were good deal ex-
cited by the sounds of enlivening music
and the appearance of mysterious pro-
cession. A band led the way, play
ing Annie Rooney and other national
airs. 1t was gorgeous band in bright
yellow, end the music was OF the most
catchy as well as sprightly nature. Be-
hind the band came wagon, such as is
used for dumping dirt and rubbish, and
in this lay big black. box, shaped like
a coffin and painted a dirty black color.
On each side of the wagon hung white
cloth with this legend inscribed:
/ "The funeral of the councils ex-presi-
dent"
This was followed by Papa Schurtz, OF
the Palace, in a buggy, and other chief
mourners in all sorts of rigs. A gang of
scores of idlers filed up the side
walks and streets, and shouts of derisive
laughter echoed all along the thorough
fares where this novel procession passed.
As the crowd and noise passed the inter-
section of Spring and Second streets the
attention of the police Office was aroused,
and the occasion OF all this innocent
merriment being learned, two or three
officers were sent out to stop this s'out-
rage" on the memory of the great ex-
president OF the city council.
The wagon, which was driven by a
burly and sable son of Afric's sunny
fountains, was overhauled at First street
and hustled back to the station, where
Chief Glass's myrmidons, with that
energy begotten OF indignation, pitched
the black box out of the wagon and
rushed it back into the Office. The
darkey showed his ivories like tomb
stones in the uncanny moonlight, and
seemed highly pleased to be let 60.
Chief Glass appeared on the scene to
direct the ceremonies, with pale glow OF
severe disapprObation on his noble brow,
and painful lines about his firmly closed
mouth, like horse with fit of collie.
1t is strange what some green people
will submit to at the hands OF too
officious policeman. 1t is quite rs
strange how little some others will sub
NIT to at the same hands, and then the
Otiicious fellow takes tumble.
With no disposition to be unkind in
thought or word to the chief. it NAV be
said that he acted unwisely in meddling
with bit OF harmless fun. In this
great American republic the fellow who
cannot take joke is in bad fix.
These delicate attentions to the
memory OF Captain Frankenfeld
were quite distinction in their way.
Few retiring officials have such a recog.
milton at the hands of admiring constit-
uents. He is broad shouldered and
stalwart, and surely could stand such a
bit OF pleasantly.
The coffin was the only part of the
procession jailed, and now Papa Schurz
has brought suit for the false imprison-
ment of his supposititious cadaver.

and fall had not taken place in
the natural course of business, but as
the effect of struggle between the
bulls and bears. He sympathized with
the views of the president and of the
secretary of the treasury, and the gen.
eral feeling of the Republican senators,
that the best measure Of relief would be
the purchase of the IL, 900 900 ounces of
silver on the market, and the first Sec
tion of the bill had made provision for
that. The finance committee proposed
to take off that load from the silver mar
and then let the law of the last session
take it's course.
THE DEMOCRATS REJOICING.
The action of the senate in displacing
the elections bill with the financial bill,
was complete surprise to the friends Of
the former measure, and several Repub-
lican silver senators who voted for the
motion say it was without prior knowl-
edge on their part. So far as can be
learned, the arrangement to displace
the elections bill was not definitely eff
fected until some time after:the senate
met, though there had been some con.
PAAOi W eONcy OA OiO SuUJCSoe
1t is understood Stewart and Teller were
the principal movers in the scheme.
The Democrats are rejoicing over the
displacement of the elections bill, and
think it has received its death blow.
The financial bill must now be displaced
by direct vote. and has the coigne Of
vantage heretofore occupied by the elec-
tions bill. 1t has the right of way. One
of the silver senators said it had been
decided last week to bring on the fight
this week, but it was kept quiet and the
decision as to when to make the motion,
and in what form, was not arrived at
until the senate convened this morning.
SOME NEW BILLS.
Senator Stanford today introduced a
bill to increase the limit of the cost for
a public building at San Francisco, to
$4,000 900.
Senator Allen has introduced bill
making an appropriation of s700,000 for
the construction of dry dock at Port
Orchard, Washington, at the point Sc
lected by the commission appointed by
the president for that purpose. The
bill also appropriates $50, 900 for the pur-
chase of site.
