DO EXAMINERS EXAMINE?

A. Criticism of the Value of Bank
x Examiners.
The following, from the San Diego
Sun, is in line with an opinion recently
expressed in the HERALD.
''There is good sense in the inquiry
of the morning paper as to whether
bank examiners examine. In the case
Of the California National, Colonel
Chamberlain had made frequent ap-
pearances here. and his reports upon
the condition of the tottering bank were
invariably good. 1t is probably true
that there was great deal of money on
hand at the time of the last examination
which was taken out during the run
that just preceded the failure; but for
two years past a careful inspection of
the securities and loans of the bank
would have enabled any wise financier
to foretell the inevitable end of such
wildcat Investments. How, for ex-
ample, an examiner could reconcile his
sworn duty with approval of such loans
as those to George Monteith, the San
Diego and Eastern Terminal and to
various foreign mining enterprises, the
Jamul speculation, etc., and of the pay
ing of and IL per cent interest on de-
posits, is a question which no one in
this neck of the woods can solve. 1t is
pertinent query, alec, whether. when
the government has o K'd bank, it is
not responsible to depositors for the
money they have lost through trusting
to the thoroughness of its inspection
and the accuracy of its reports"

executions to murders in Los Angeles
county, for although murders have been
many, it is years since any one has
suffered the extreme penalty here. Is
it because the punishment of murder Is
so difficult and rare that human life is
so recklessly taken here by the vicious
and bloodthirsty? The gallows has no
terror for the evil-doer because the
chances are not one in hundred that he
will be made to suffer. If the rule
were reversed, and punishment for life
taking were made certain, we believe
that the reckless man.killers would soon
realize that they could not follow their
practices with impunity, and murder
would be less prevalent. Certainly the
ease with which red-handed murderers
escape the penalty of their crimes is a
great incentive to this kind of lawless-
ness. The people will not always re-
main patient under the immunity which
murderers have from punishment, and
when they do rise in their wrath, they
may 60 TO the other extreme. Judges,
juries and all the machinery OF the
courts will have severe overhauling
when that time comes.

ONE effect of the Mckinley tariff is to

ONE effect of the Mckinley tariff is to
send constant stream of gold from this
country to Europe, Notwithstanding the
balance of trade is in our favor. The
fnaneiers are trying to account for this
on other than the real grounds. They
say that the purchase of 54,000,00C
ounces year by our government, and
the fear that the free coinage of silver
may become law, operate to create
distrust in Europe and to cause
European investors to send their secu-
gities and stocks here in exchange for
gold. The silver purchased by the gov
eminent is not more than the output of
our own mines, so that the exchange is
essentially a home one, not drawing
npon us for an extraordinary balance in
settlement abroad. The securities are
finding their way here from Europe be-
cause the Mckinley tariff has dislocated
the trend of business affairs, and
Europe has to realize here upon securi-
ties because they sre the only represen-
tatives of value they have to realize
upon. AS long as we are the debtor ma
lion we shall continue to see the cred
itor natl ons drawing upon their securi-
lies for money, and the gold drain will

southern Democrats not to weaken their

The hope of the country hangs on the
success of the Democracy, and anything

with half a frown.

She twisted in her seat, and then she tossed
her tangled hair,

And you should walk, and walk, and walk

The train rolled into Boston town. / waited

And watched my little blue eyes. with her half

And then a man came rushing in, knew him

He snatched his little daughter up with frantic.

And then, with fathers instinct, quick his eye

In is stated that the letter found in
Mrs. Terry's effects at Fresno from a
former sheriff of a county in this state,
saying that he had been offered $25, ,00C
to kill the late Judge Terry, is from Tom
Desmond, who was sheriff of San F ran
cisco in 1873. 1t seems that Desmond,
when he left the state, located in Du-
bnque, Iowa, and that he dated the let
ter from that place. 1t would be worth
while to trace up the allegations con-
tanned in that letter. If such an offer
was made to kill Judge Terry, an inves-
tigation might lead up to sensational
disclosures touching the tragedy that
subsequently happened. Why Des-
mond was selected to make such prop
osition to is very strange to us. He was
not the style of man that any one who
knew him would think capable of such
a deed. He never did anything to indi-
cate that he was man of blood.

THE people owning property on Pearl
and Figueroa streets are greatly exer-
cised at the possibility that the street
railroad company may secure from the
council assent to their petition to i'm.
prove their part of the roadway under
the bond act. The situation is also
aggravated by the application of the
company to the council to have the
street graded and paved by the city,
How that can be done no one seems to
know, but there is a feeling that the
railroad is going to interpose difficulties
that may result in the street being
graded and paved on both sides of the
tracks, leaving the road as it is. That
seems to be the case in portion of Fig
ueroa street, where the car road is
perched in air several feet above the
grade on both sides. The council would

to the proposed improvement of Pearl
street between Sixth and Pico before it
gives out the contract to do the work
for the property holders on that line OF
street. It cannot bring the company
u1 der the bond act, for the reason that
no contractor could raise money on
bonds secured by lien on only frag-

road company cannot be compelled

THE accident that occurred yesterday
afternoon at the corner of First and
Spring streets shows that casualties may
be looked for no matter how much care
may be taken to avoid them. The great
danger seems to come from the speed
with which the turn is made by the
cable cars at that corner. ii the cars
can be slowed up on the curves, great
measure Of safety would be attained.
Why is it that this cannot be done
The electric cars do it; is it impossible
to do it with the cable system?
