TIE PROPOSED LAND LOAN.

Senator Stanford Las explained his land
loan scheme al considerable length to
Washington correspondent. it does not APP
pear from this Interview that Mr. Stanford
proposes any other limit to the loan than
the amount Of security tie country affords
and the demand for money. When interest
is more than . per ceut people Will mort
gage their land for Government money and
when it is less than per cent mortgages
VIII be paid The Government rats Of .
Der cent vii. be the point upon which huc-
tuati0l in interest VIII turn. The money
De proposes TO Issue viii be good for all
debts, public and private, and as the secur-
ity upon which it can be obtained is pract-
caIly without limit he expects The fiat
money Of the Government will become the
principal if not the sole circulating medium.
In the interview Mr.. Stanford says:
But You mast nave standard of value for
dollar. aud mat must be declared by tie Gov
eminent Il might say that Tie value OF
dollar should be equal TO 25.s grains of gold.
After that 10 would make no difference whether
The actual coin had That much gold la It or not
IL might have ouly half the amount or none
al all.
The yer cent Government money is not
10 BE- payable in coin of any kind. There
viii be 10 other limit to the amount in cir
cuatiou than the requirement Of land
security at half Of the assessed value Mr.
Stanford admits that this money would
have no value out Of the United States
and consequently, that trade balances
would have TO be paid in coin. When his
attention was called 10 the fact that the
Argentine Republic had tried a similar
scheme with disastrous results, He said that
there could be no comparison between the
two countries As well, he said, compare a
man with $1,000 or 5000 with John Jacob
Astor with his hundred millions. Mr.
Stanford continued:
TIE United States is now adding 10 It's wealth,
according TO tie census reports, about $780,
100000 a month. or more than tie assessed
yalu uion OF all the property in the Union dur
ing tile Revolutionary War
One might have supposed that the very
prosperity Of the country would have oc-
CURED 10 Mr.. Stanford as reason why the
financial system upon which that prosperity
has been built should not be radically dis
turbed We have become great, rich and
prosperous on a coin basis Every dollar Of
currency i'm the country can be exchanged
without cost for a coin OF equal commercial
value to its face value lie proposes to de-
part from this basis, which has worked so
well, and food the country with a currency
irTedeemable in coin While land is good
collateral, it is not and cannot be money.
l. cannot be divided into dollars, dimes or
cents, nor be delivered in large or small
quantities. A , per cent ioan payable in
coin, with land as security, would be a
respectable proposition, but an issue Of fat
money on the basis of land is unworthy Of
serious consideration.

OUR DECAYING FORESTS.

Mr. Abbot Kinney, ex-Cnairman of the
Forestry Commission, a gentleman Of learn
ing who has made trees his study, contrib
utes to the new number Of the California
illustrated Magazine an article on the trees
Of California which it will pay every lover
of the State to read. The time is approach
ing when the Legislature will be compelled
to follow the example Of European legisla-
lures, and pass an afforestation law Many
Of the leading facts on which such law
should be based are explained in this short
article.
Few CalifOrnians realize that the State is
gradually drifting into the treeess condition
Of San Bernardino County and Arizona Ter
ritory, and that if no remedy be applied a
limit Of time can be set to the agricultural
pr0ductiveness of this portion of the Slope.
Some Of our trees are past salvation. The
giant sequoia, which was once widely dis
trbuted throughout the world, is now only
found in this State, and is gradually diving
out here in consequence of a progressive
diminution in the humidity OF the air. 1t
would have disappeared long ago but for
our mild and equable climate. 1t is the last
surviving member of the family of mon
strous trees which fiourished in the hot and
iuploL Ldl DphllFlbuo dBCs ~ Will OubilNG
those who read these lines, but time is not
far distant when their posterity will only
know it by pictures.
The redwood-Sequoia sempervirens-is
also gradually disappearing. Unlike the
giant seQuoia. the redwood will reproduce
itself; indeed, its desire to live is evidenced
by the vigOr with which young shoots viii
sprout from cut logs. But no pains are
taken to promote the growth of successors
to the trees which are fellcd, and in a given
period the redwood, which in many re-
spects is superior to the mahogany and tho
rosewood, will become as scarce as they.
Nor will it be long survived by the sugar
pine, that magnificent tree which is the
largest member Of the pine family. and
whose wood commands the highest price
paid for pine in tie lumber market 1t is
being deliberately exterminated by the lum-
bermen. They cut over district, take the
trunks OF the large trees to the mill, and
leave the tops and branches to become food

MOLLIE FANCHER'S RIVAL.
A Port JefTersonian in a State OF OssI-
hc7tiou.
N.vv


Edward Emmons, 81 years old. Of Jeffer-
son, Long Island has been living in a COM
pete state of 0ssifraton since 1876 In
many respects his condition resembles that
Of Mollie Fancher Of Brooklyn, although in
EmmOus' case it appears 10 be hereditary.
as his father died of the same disease few
years ago.
EmmOns was one Of the crew of the
schooner Julia Willis, Captain W. b. Day
ton. At the age of q he retu rned from a
sea voyage aud before the schooner reached
this port he was stricken with rheumatism.
lie was carried TO his home and has not
been able to leave his bed since.
For nearly sixteen years he has suffered
the most eXcruclatHg agony, while his body
and limbs, except his left arm, became rigid.
As t deprived Of all their joints. Even his
jaws are closed and set, and ne takes his
food through an opening made by the loss
Of two front teeth. EmmOns is able to nova
his left arm sufficiently 10 feed himself. but
it is with difficulty
The patient speaks quite distinctly and is
able to see and hear, AthOugh both of these
senses have been impaired by the progress
Of the disease lie has grown so enlaciated
that his mother and sister, who take care
OF him, lift him in aud out of bed as If he
were a log Of wood. His only pastime is
Taading and as his appetite is good he NAV
live several years.
Emmons' father was a sea captain. and he
too was bed-rIdden, first with rheumatism
and then with the strange disease which
has stricken the son.

COUNTERFEIT OF MONEY.

Judging from the interior press there
seems to be an extraordinary amount of
counterfeit Of money in circulation on the
Coast this winter.
Portland and Salem Oregon papers re-
port a number Of counterfeit Of dollar green
backs in circulation uD there. From Tacoma
and Seattle come similar reports. Fresno
is said to be flooded" with imitation five
dollar gold pieces, spurious dollars and
dimes are reported to lie circulating in other
portions Of Southern California, ami from
Carson and Virginia City come reports Of an
unusual amount Of imitation Of silver coin,
dollars aud halves coming into circulation
there
Apparently some person. or gang of per-
sons, Is pursuing with great industry the
manufacture or circulation Of green goods
and imitation coins on this Coast. This be-
ing the case IL behOoVes the people to be
careful in their scrutiny Of whatever money
they receive. Most residents Of this Coast are
easily vctimiZed by counterfeit of green
backs, but it ought not to be so easy to fool
them with false coins, whether of gold or
silver, as a little more than ordinary care
usually suffices for the detection Of these.

"PUT IN THE WRONG"

A contemporary represents "an agent Of
a rival line" Of the Santa Fe Railroad Com
Dany as saying that that concern by reduc-
ing the freight rates on oranges from Los
Angeles TO Chicago, from 81 > to 30 cents
per hundred pounds. "Ea5 put all the other
lines in the wrong before orange-growers
"AI the other lines" means tile great
combine that has heretofore maintained the
ciHch on our shippers in strict accordance
with its famous rule Of ''all the traffic will
bear" 1t is said other roads are put in the
wrong by an act of justice On the part Of
rival II they have ever been anywhere else
than in tle wrOngin their relation to Calfor-
MAN shippers the people Of California have
not known it.
The Southern Pacific system was this sea-
SOC asked by Orange-growers to make
rate on their fruit by which it might be
shipped to market without loss. This the
companies refused TO do. The action Of
the Santa Fe indicates that the request of
the growers was not an unreasonable one,
and the whole incident is a clear indication
Of the amount Of interest felt by the South
ern Pacific system IN the interests Of this
State by preying upon whose needs the
controllers Of the combine have grown 50

LUnGE- nIADE Law.

The law as construed by some of our
Judges is something that is Incompetent
sible When it happens that there is occa-
sion Tor liberal construction thereof in
order 10 benefit the community and rid it Of
a gang Of boodlers the Judge who is called
upon to interpret it may declare that he
must construe it strictly and that he is not
responsible if it does not meet the require
ments Of the case. When. however, some
thing is done that affects the integrity and
honesty Of the Judge and be is advised thai
there is no law warranllng him in melting
out summary punishment by reason Of
legislative enactment, he frequently not only
stretches that law In his own favor, but
valves it out of existence in order to suit
his peculiar notion.

Tie English press is as usual opposed to
the United States, but our citizens have
passed that period in their history when
they care much Tor what is said again2t US
by carping papers. It is pleasing TO note,
however, that members of Congress from

that section Of the Union generally, approve
Of tile acts Of the Government in its efforts

mitted in Valparaiso.

for shepherds fires, which destroy the
young trees If they took any pains to pro-
tect the latter they would in time become a
forest, possessing money value; but the
motto Of every lumberman is After us the
delugew A district once cut over will sell
dom again contain sugar pines lit for market
AfforestatiOn has been SO thoroughly
studied in France and Germany that its
rules are now well understood. To retain
its fertility an agricultural district must
devote from One-fOuTth 20 One-ffth Of its
area TO forest, and all mountain slopes and
declyites should be clothed with trees. If
these rules are neglected areas of bare soil
will promote extremes Of temperature, with
alternate dryness and humidity, and de-
structiye winds. When a slope or fOothill
IS denuded rain falling upon it cannot stay
where ii fails, but PUSHES down to the valley
below, carrying with IL soil, gravel and
powders whereas a slope we'll dotted with
trees will retain a considerable portion of
the rain. which will give the water time to
penetrate into the earth and keep it moist
for purposes Of vegetation.
We have no general forestry law in this
State. There are laws against the cutting
Of timber on public lands and on the school
lands of the State, but they are very feebly
enforced. Occasionally the United States
prosecutes timber tibet and judgment is
recovered, but nine-tenths Of the robberes
go unpublished. The Forestry Commission
lately denounced to the State Government
party Of wood-chOppers and miIlmen who,
it was said, were cutting timber on the
school lands; but the Attorney-General
would neither prosecute III person nor allow
the Forestry Commission to prosecute in
his name As for a general rule regulating
the cutting of trees on land in private owner
ship, such as they have in France and Ger
many, We have never had anything Of the
Kind. and it may be question whether our
landowners are educated to an understand
ing Of the principle That the right of an in
diyidual to denude his own property of trees
must be restricted in the interest Of his
neighbors. Some day that will be under
stood; but there is reason to fear that before
then the magnificent forests OF California
will be shOrn OF their dimensions a valuable
resource viii have been destroyed and tho
agricultural productiveness of the State
viii have been correspondiugy diminished.

4 man just in from tue southwestern part
of the Cherokee strip tells a remarkable
story Of duel between two girls, which he
says took place at little settlement in the
uorthwes .crn part Of Texas, Just south of
the line Of No Mans Land. The two girls
had at Que time been warm friends, and
lived together on claim which had been
taken up by one of them. Their house was
built on the line between TWO claims, and
the girls were thus complying with the law
and improving two hpme5trad5 at the same
time. All went well with them for some
time, but at last there came between them a
CgOlne>s. which arose over the attentions or
g bright young cowboy, whose manner SO
impressed both Of the girls that they de
sired 60 have him pay his attention udi-
vidualy and not collectively Matters
grew from bad 10 worse, and II did not take
long for the young fellow 20 find out how
matters stood. AS he did not particularly
care for either girl. but went TO see them
purely for pastIme, lie not only inStigated
anlmoslty, but told his friends, who helped
matters along until the girls became bitter
enemies.
Things got TO such a pitch that at last the
girls had an open rupture, and, according 70
the code OF the country, they agreed o. night
a duel with TeYOlyers. Both girls were good
shots and the matter looked serious, bur the
seconds took matters IN hand and arranged
that the pistols should have blank cart
ridges. The girls were 10 walk ten PAGES
from back TO back and then turn aud fire
until their pistols were empty or until one
fell. Every thing came of according to pro-
grdmme and the girls fired six shots, the
last being at 4 distance OF only few feet.
They then realized what had been done to
the pistols, and. dropping the weapons,
rushed at each other and INDUCED in
hair-pulliug match, which was so severe
that their friends were compelled TO part
them. When they found that the young
man had instigated the duel they both
turned upon him and gave him a beating.
and then became fast friends again.
