early as 1862 commission was ap,
pointed by President Fillmore to ex-
amino into these grants, giving the
claimants the right of appeal to the dis
trict court presided over by the late
Judge Ogden Hoffman. Both these
tribunals gave the title of that place
to the claimant, John ]. Reed; and
q patent was therefore issued to
him. Nearly thirty years elapsed he
tween the issuance Of the patent
and the commencement Of the suits
to set it aside, during which time
the greater portion of the land in ques-
tion changed ownership two or three
times over. Evidently Attorney Gen
eral Miller had never heard of such
person In law as the innocent purchaser.

THE San Francisco Chronicle, with
amusing persistency, claims that the
development Of our tin industries was
due to the Mckinley bill. The appear
ance in Chicago of a party of English
gentlemen interested in tin syndicate,
the other day, has given the versatile
editor of our contemporary an opportu.
nifty to indulge in some more rhodo-
montade. They were on their way out
to inspect some rich tin measures To-
Gated near Harney's peak, in which
they are said to have invested the large
amount OF five million dollars. Now
what in the name of common sense has
the fact that these capitalists were
induced by an American name d
Wilson to buy some tin lodes to
do with the Mckinley bill? If these
Englishmen had been polled they would
one and all, it is dollars to marbles,
have answered that they were loyal
British free-tradera. They invested in
the Harvey Peak mines because they
expected to sell the tin taken out of
them in the markets of the world. OF
course, as long as Cornwall had mo-
nopoly of the tin production and tin
manufactures OF the world, tin and it's
manufactured products would bring
higher prices than will prevail four or
five years from now, or sooner. 1t would
be absurd to suppose that anything else
were possible. The falling in the price
of block tin will be assisted by
the unusually high percentage the
American ores carry, and by their great
accessibility. Republican legislation has
done nothing for tin. The clause in the
Mckinley bill so often quoted was really
intended to enable favored Republicans
to hog some eighteen or twenty millions
of dollars by rushing enormous quaint.
ties of sheet tin into the country, on
which importations they received the
enhanced price arising from more than
the doubling of the duty which had
previously existed. The exploitation of
the tin mines was work of private en-
terprise begun long before Ohio's Sweet
William had ever thought of his
bill. There can be no question
but that these energetic gentlemen
deserve that reward which they will re-
ceive ior their pluck and liberality
through the purchase of their staple by
people who would as willingly use
American tin as any other. The Nc
Kinley bill fails to put cent in their
pockets, though, on the principle of

THE appointment of Hon. John w.
Foster as the successor Of Hon. James
G. Blaine, as secretary of state, is not a
bad one in itself, but it looks rather as
though the president is crowding the
country on the Hoosier line. Partner
Miller and neighbor Foster both in the
cabinet, with the president at the head
of that body, makes three members from
Indiana. The cabinet now has two
members named Foster, and they are
both slick politicians OF the feather

OUR WORLDS COLUMBIAN FAIR Illus
TRArED EDITION.

The HERALD will issue a worlds Co
lumbian fair edition of the ILLUSTRATED
HERALD. Arrangements have been
made with the most finished artists in
America toinsure the greatest perfection
of detail to the illustrations. A quarter
of million copies of this matchless
publication will be issued. 1t will be
printed on heavy book paper, and will
be distributed by uniformed boys during
the progress OF the exposition, and the
distribution will be under the direction
of an intelligent superintendent, who
will see that each copy shall go where it
will do the most good. 1t will be de-
voted to Southern California, every por-
ton of which will be treated Impair
TALLY. In few days accredited agents
of the HERALD will start out on the
work of canvassing the people in the
interest of this mammoth enterprise.
Those who can contribute advertising
patronage are expected to do go, while
almost anybody can subscribe for copies
to be either mailed east by themselves, or
distributed at the worlds fair through
the HERALD's agency. There is no rea-
son why the greatest boom ever known in
the history OF Southern California should
not follow in the wake OF the Columbian
worlds fair. 1t is the mission of the
HERALD to see that this shall be the
case. The high standard of previous
editions of the HERALD is a guarantee
that this supreme effort will be of excep.
tional merit. The aim will be to make
it nonpareil. It will be noted that in
this ambitious edition all the counties
of Southern California are to be in
cluded. We bespeak for this enterprise
the generous patronage which will un-
doubtedly be accorded to it, and which
in reality will only be bread cast upon
the waters, which will return before the
lapse of many days. This is the mis-
eionary era in Southern California. We
need people, and the HERALD proposes
to see that they shall get here, in great
numbers and of the right kind.

The vigorous spirit of frontier justice,
go manifest during our pioneer days,
flashed up from it's embers yesterday
when Judge Smith sentenced Pinaud to
three years at San Quentin. Pinaud
had been convicted of placing his wife
in house of ill-repute that he might
live off the wages of her infamy; and
then, like the wretched coward that he
is, pleaded in extenuation Of his offense
that she was woman of the pave when
he married her and naturally belonged
in the ranks of the fallen. Twas ever

them in the future. That Republican
rings profited immensely by the Nc
Kinley tin.plate legislation cannot be
questioned. 1t was royal largess-
something entirely worthy of the astute
genius Of the men who spin not, neither
do they weave, but who manage to keep
themselves clad in more than the glory
Of Solomon of old.
The ease with which Republican
orators and journalists can lay hold on
that which does not belong to them is
worthy of all admiration. They have
been claiming that the fact that the
Kansas farmers have paid off some of
their mortgage indebtedness last year is
proof irrefragable that the Republican
party ought to carry that state. They
claim credit for the growth OF the lush
grasses, the sheeny wheat, the bearded
barley and the tasseled corn. Everything
is by them referred to the benignant legis-
lation of Republican congresses. But
the people know better. They know
that it is the blessed Lord that causes
His rains to fall from heaven alike upon
the just and the unjust, and that, in
fact, Republican legislation has acted
as sort of metaphorical umbrella in the
premises. For the real purport and
effect of Republican legislation we
would do we'll to HE us to the drear coal
and iron regions of Pennsylvania, Ohio
and West Virginia, where the laborer
receives about half the wages doled out
to him thirty years ago, and where
gaunt want is seen in shapes to rival
Dante's pictures of woe.
The Chronicle also rings in the San
Jacinto tin mines in its rosy pictures OF
what the Republican party has Gone for
tin and it's exploiters. As matter OF
fact, the writer is not personally ac-
quainted with the present managers of
the Cajalco or San Jacinto tin mines,
but he did know their predecessors, and
they laughed derisively at the idea that
Mckinley had ever done anything for
them. They had expended a princely
fortune in developing their plant, and
they we're highly amused on learning
that they were indebted in such high
degree to the Republican party.
As the Chicago Tribune remarked,
apropos of all this mine and tin manu-
featuring rot, it is time to stop lying
about the matter. 1t served the pur-
pose of the Republican party by en-
abling them to do some tall stealing,
and there they ought to let the thing rest,
in all conscience.

AN EVIL ourGRowrH OF THE TRUSTS.

The Republican press is very busily
engaged just now in trying to persuade
the country that its party is not respon-
sible for the trusts. This is all mere
leather and prunella. Every act OF the
Republican party leaders since they
came into power, in 1861, has been
directed towards aggrandizing the
moneyed classes. The trusts are simply
the latest outgrowth of its policy, as the
colossal fortunes of the Stanfords,
Crockers, Huntingtons, Hopkinses.
Ameses, and thousand others, were the
first. 1t is not necessary to indulge in
argument with sensible man to prove
the connection of the Republican party
and trusts. That organization created
the conditions and the rest followed
naturally. But, just now, we wish to call
attention to another feature of the mat
ter. The trusts are running everything
they put their hands on. Even in the
days of the old English common law we
we're told that corporations have no
souls. Our own trusts are practically
soulless. When they obtain control of
any standard article they Immediately
proceed to sophisticate it in order to in
crease their profits. This holds good
in all things, from the putting of cape
aloes into beer instead of honest hops
by the beer syndicates, to the sanding Of
sugar by the sugar trusts. They desire
to wiring the, last cent out of the con-
sumer, no matter what the effect may
be on the health of his wife and family.
Under thesolds English common law the
a trust would land its members
and projectors into the penitentiary.
They would be prosecuted for and con-
vieted of the crimesof felony under the
name OF forestalling. But, whether we
go after our. ..unconvicted felons with the
view OF landing them in durance vile or
no, the laws ought to protect the peo-
ple's health. Congress and every one of
the states fought to..pass laws preventing
the sophistication of any article of food
of any kind. especially any alcoholic or
malt beverage, which can be made such
deadly agencies when adulterated. The
rule should hold good that articles of
consumption should be pure down to
milk, and particularly as to milk. One
might contemplate with some degree of
equanimityithe countless numbers who
are yearly robbed by.this universal sys.
tenn of sophistication, but when it
comes to the enormous multitudes who
are killed, it is,ssanother matter. The
man who adulterates any article of hu-
man consumptionssought to be sent to
the penitentiaryss.for the first offsnss.
For the second he should be put to
death, and a good riddance to him. There
is frightfulillaxityaas to this matter,
and it is really theSgreatest evil from
which theipeople !suffer. We fail to re-
ceive in thisscountry that ample protec-
tion which, insEurope. almost redeems

ACTUAL WORKING CASH

able for Commercial Use.
| We reproduce the following compila'
| ton of facts from an address made by
Judge Widney before committee ol
| congress recently:
On pages 1915. Report Of the Comp
| troller OF Currency for 1901, Vol. /, are
the national bank statistics, showing
the legal amount OF cash reserve required
by law, also showing the amount of cash
held as reserve. / subtract from the
actual cash held the cash required by
law, as shown in the fret two columns
of page 1866:
Total held ..........s......... .$296, $50 6Se

working cash in United states. IS 79,9509le
or 1928 per capita.
In addition to the above the banks
held certain credits against each other
and small amouuto OF credit against the
United States treasury. But the credits
of banks against each other do not in.
crease the cash volume of the banks.
For if the credits should be extinguished
by cash payments, it would only shift
| the cash from one to another.
Banks hold about $l5. .720,0 900 claims
against the United States treasury, as
shown on p. 155, but they owe to the
United States treasury about the same
amount. Hence when the whole cred.
its and debts are extinguished, it will
leave the cash as have shown above.
On page PAL OF the same report is the
cash status of all other banks besides
national; see middle column.

From this it will be seen that the state
banks, including savings banks, are over
$28 900, 900 below 15 per cent reserve
and have no real cash working capital.
But as matter OF fact savings banks
have not over or per cent reserve,
which would bring the state banks of
deposits mp to safe condition, but
could not leave q working capital of
over $10,000,0 900 cash, sctual money.
They alone are not limited to any re-
serve and are postponing financial
calamity by strainIng their draw on cash
to its utmost limits.

The following table computed from
pages 155 and 234 of the comptroller's
report fol. 1891, Vol. l, shows the total
volume of actual available working cash
in the national banks in each state, and

state banks would add probably 10 per
cent to each item:
