WHY HARRISON WAS NOMINATED.

A writer in a Democratic contemporary
attributes the nomination Of Harrison TO a
lack of other aspiranis. Why were there
no other asprants? What kept the other
Republican leaders in the back ground?
Blaine withdrew in February. Atthat time
there was general understanding that If
Blaine became candidate Harrison would
not dispute the nomination with him.
Between Blaine's withdrawal and the date
OF holding the convention there was time
to have concentrated upon another leader if
any had appeared OF equal merit with
Harrison. But after the survey of Sher.
man. Mckinley, Reed. Depew and other
possible aspirants, the general opinion as
expressed through the press and through
speeehes was that Harrison was the strong
est man in the party. There is no reason
to change that opinion. Harrison is popular
among thinking men, among men of affairs,
among men who want to see our National
Government honestly administered with due
regard to the interests of all sections The
policies that have been adopted under the
Harrison administration were so generally
commended that the mass of the people
want TO see them continued. The judgment
of the people rather than tie imagination
nominated Harrison.

FIRES On THE FOURTH.

A quarter of million fire at Woodland
and half million fire at San Jose should
serve to warn other cities in the State that
the dry season is upon us. To-day viii be
the most dangerous day in the year for fire.
The indiscriminate use Of firecraekers at a
time when wooden houses are little better
than tinder-boxes is attended with peril
that can only be lessened or overcome by
unceasing vigilance. No house should be
left without its guardian. and precaution
should be taken 30 have water at hand.
Hundreds Of fires are extinguished in this
way every year on the Fourth by persons
employed for that purpose. In cases where
houses are vacant owners or agents should
see that they are looked after a spark on
the roof of house left TO itself may lead TO
disastrous confieeration. Care is gener-
ally taken in this city that the mains are
we'll supplied with water ON the Fourth and
the Fire Department is on the alert. But
if the force Of the Fire Department were
doubled II could not cover all sections of
the city at once. The small boy and his
freeraekers cannot he suppressed, but pre-
cautions may be taken 10 render him less
destructive than he sometimes proves to be.
The morning call., 1892-07-04
THE tB-TREAsURY SCHEME.

The Peoples party have re-adupted what
is known as the sub-treasury scheme. The
scheme devOlves upon the Government
the duty Of providing a national currency
which shall be distributed among the people
at a tax or interest rate not 10 exceed two
per cent year. We assume that 'just.
equitable and efficient means OF distribu-
tion," requires security on the part Of the
borrower. This plan. taken in connection
with the Government postal sayings bank.
would throw the banking business into the
hands of the Government. With Govern
ment interest of two per cent year and no
limit to the volume that may be put into
circulation there would not seem to be much
use of either commercial or savings banks.
The scheme Is so visionary that discussion
Of its workings would be little better than
conjecture. The one tangible fact is that
the metallic basis OF currency would be
swept away. Ii is not provided that the
currency issued and loaned to the people
at two per cent year shall be redeemable
in gold or silver coin. The Government
mill will create the currency and the amount
viii be regulated by law
