EDITORS HERALD: The attempted safe
robbing at the postoffice brings very
forcibly to the public the danger Of its
present location. Not only may there
be repetition Of the attempt, but there
is the more serious danger of fire.
Should this occur, the loss would be
much greater, as not only money but
valuable letters and papers would be de-
stroyed. Now, Mr.. Editor, under those
circumstances does it not seem very
strange that our postmaster insists in
remaining in building that is actually
dangerous and an expense to the govern
ment. when building that ie fire-proof
and has q number of vaults for the safe
keeping of valuables is completed, owned
by the government and ready for occu-
pancy? In last March Mr.. Dol received
notice that the government had no more
use for his building. Since that time all
the letter-boxes and partitions have been
placed in the new postoffice, and even
sufficient time has elapsed to grow q
grass plot around the building. Still the
postoffice is at its old quarters. 1t GER
tainly looks as if influence other than
the public good controlled our post
master, and we would advise him to
s.pet a move on him" before clamor OF
public opinion over his neglect reaches
Washington. COMMON SENSE.

SILVER AND GOLD.
The Coming Conference Of Nations Q
the silver Question.

Tho Coming Conference Of Nations on
the silver Question.
President Harrison in his correspond
ence relating to the arrangements for
the coming international silver confer
ence. used the following sound languages:
''1t is the opinion of the president, and,
as he believes, OF the people of the
United States with singular unanimity,
that the full use Of silver as coin metal
upon ratio to gold to be fixed by an
agreement between the great. CONNER.
cial nations of the world, would very
highly promote the prosperity of all
nations and all classes Of people,"
A statesman who takes that view
can hardly be classed among the gold
bugs. For, if such solution is attain
able, it is undoubtedly the best of all.
But If the great commercial nations
cannot agree on such policy, then even
sincere bimetallists may honestly differ
as to the best means for any single ma.
tion, to adopt to remedy existing cur
rency evils. Evidently the policy OF
the United States in such a contingency
should be to get back to it's constitu-
tional double standard alone il it cannot
have the cooperation of other nations,
although such course is beset with
very grave difficulties. The change we
have been going through, from the
double standard of the constitution to
our present highly appreciated and still
appreciating single gold standard, has
been gradual.
To change back, as the canons of
genuine bimetallism and the true intent
of the constitution require from our
higher to our, lower specie--in fact, (for
the time being at least,) from the gold
standard to the silver standard, from
our present dear (gold) dollar worth, in
reality 150 cents in silver, to normal
lower specie dollar, worth in silver 100
cents (though only worth according to
the appreciated gold dollar about 67
cents would unquestionably be very
serious change. The problem is grave
one and is beset with difficulties; but it
is one that not only the American peo-
pie, but all gold standard countries, will
have to face, If the coming international
conference fails to reach an agreement.
No matter how difficult may be the re-
turn to bimetallism by individual ma
tions, the difficulties and dangers OF a
continuance of gold mono-metallism are
still more Observation-Disclosures
Review.

AS AN evidence that San Francisco
capitalists have their eye on Los Ange-
les real estate, we know of an offer just
made for valuable Spring street busi-
ness property, but declined. Mr.. James
Phelan, through an agent here, offered
100000 for the property alluded to,
which the owner holds at . higher
figure. We have heard Of other nego-
tiations between San Francieco in
vestors and agents here for fine pieces
of business property. San Francisco
property is held at much higher fgures
than its productive value, and the in
ducements for investment in that city
are not very attractive, anyway. Busi-
ness there ia unprecedentedly depressed,
and the outlook is not held to be very
bright even by the most sanguine. The
indications are that some of the heavy
San Francisco capitalists will turn their
attention to the splendid opportunities
of this growing and fourishing city for
investment,

PUBLIC WORKS.
Tho Report Adopted Yesterday by tn,
Board

Tho Report Adopted Yesterday by the
Board
The board of public works at it's meet
ing yesterday adopted the following
recommendations to the council:
In the matter of petition from the
Southern Pacific Railroad company for
council to relieve said company from the
obligation to remove all that portion OF
its railroad tracks located on San Pedro
street, from 100 feet north of Third
street to its intersection with the pres
ent Alameda-street line, so that the
same may be acquired and used by j.
NJ. Davies, we recommend that petition
be granted on condition that said Davies
first consent to an amendment OF ordi-
nance No. 1909 NEW SERIES, 80 that the
switch crossing First street, at the in
tersection of Alameda street, be aban-
doned and switch placed between First
and Second streets in lieu thereof, the
same now being feasible by reason of
the recent burning down of the Mechan-
ics' mill.
Recommend that communication and
petition from ]. F. Crank, receiver of the
Pacific Railway company, relating to
that portion of the paving of Pearl and
Ninth streets, required to be paved by
said company, and requesting that work
be ordered done and bonds issued for
same, be referred to the city attorney.
Recommend that petition from F. III.
Page tor city to instruct the street super
intendent to relay cement sidewalk in
front of his property on corner of Fifth
and Main streets, for reasons set forth
in said petition, be referred to the city
engineer for his report as to how the dis
crepancy of grade of curb and sidewalk
occurred.
!. Recommend that the street superin.
tendent construct wooden platforms
where badly needed in front of sprink-
ling hydrants, same to be made with the
old bridge material now on hand. And
the superintendent of street sprinkling
will furnish list Of the hydrants to be
repaired.

BLAINE IN THR FIELD.

The resignation of Mr.. Blaine from
the Office of secretary of state is the
most sensational development of the
nominating campaign. How it came
about is easy to guess. 1t is probable
that Harrison ordered Blaine point.
blank to take effective steps to stop his
friends from pushing his name for nomi-
nation at Minneapolis, and that Blaine
told him he would do no such
thing. OF course there was moth
ing left for Blaine to do
but resign. If the Plumed knight was
in doubt as to whether he could make
an earnest fight for the nomination be.
fore he was forced to resign, he can
have no doubt about it now. He lie in
the contest with both feet, as the say
ing goes, and we shall now see what
will be the effect in Minneapolis. It
looks to us as if it would result in
neither Harrison nor Blaine carrying off
the prize, but that Alger or Mckinley,
or dark horse, will step in between
them and get the nomination.

ADJUSTMENTS,

Extraordinary interest is being mani.
tested in the coming spectacular pro
duction of Louis XI. Mr.. w. J. Koh.
ler, the clever tragedian, supported by
Miss Lima Crews and a company 15U
strong, will commence an engagement
at the Los Angeles theater, Monday
June 9th, for one week, in the above.
mentioned play. Everywhere this com.
pany have won golden opinions. Mr..
Kohler is a tragedian of high order, and
among the parts in which he has won
special laurels are those of Louis XII,
and Rapheal, in The Marble Heart. The
following is taken from the San Fran.
cisco Morning Call:
Mr.. William John Kohler's produc-
tion of Louis XI at the Grand opera
house last evening crowded the audi
torium. In the character of the French
king, Mr.. Kohler showed close study
and good acting. His interview with
De Nemours, his badinage with the vii.
layers, his burst of gratifed desire when
he heard of the defeat of his enemy,
Charles the Bold OF Burgundy, were all
we'll sustained characteristic exhibitions
OF the mans heart. just as were the
almost craven fears he had of death,
and the wish to clutch power as long as
possible. -
Mics Lima Crews has also achieved an
enviable reputation as an actress. The
company has been enlarged and en-.
riched by the addition OF Miss Gertrude
Foster, who will make her professional
debut Monday evening with the above
mentioned company. We predict a
large and fashionable audience will be
in attendance.
On Monday night, the ex-minstrel,
Carroll Johnson, will appear in his play,
The Gossoon. NJ. E. E. Kidder, the
author, has injected into this play the
mysterious elixir of his genius that etim-
ulates the brain and sets the heart pulse
throbbing to the eternal music OF the
emotions.
Clancy O'Connell, the Gossoon, the
leading character of the play, essentially
represents the refined side OF the Irish
nature. He is rollicking. happy go
lucky young squire, and the size OF his
generous heart may be measured by the
fact that his tenants borrow the money
from him with which to pay him their
rents. As portrayed by Mr.. johnson,
the part is the very incarnation OF sun
shine and love, with humorous streak
of the happy, devil-may-cale touch of
irresponsibility that makes the Irish
nature go loving and interesting.

filibuster and freebooter, and has en-
phatically denied that any such letter as
that noted above was sent by Buchanan
to Mr.. Larkin. The testimony of Captain
Swasey, however, is conclusive, and the
inference is strongly sustained that FREE
mont received Instructions to do what
ever he thought best in his judgment to
secure California to the United States.
The series of events that led up to
the acquisition OF California have been
treated in so many ways that it was inn
possible to determine where the exact
facts lay. But the work Captain Swa-
sey has contribute ed to the literature Of
this state makes clear many things
that were before obscure, and
brings out facts that fully
explain many statements that were be-
fore in doubt. Bancroft aeks with an
air OF triumph why the letter claimed to
have been sent to Larkin by Buchanan
was not found among the formers
papers after his death? Captain Swasey
answers, ''simply because the injunction
to destroy it when read" was written
on the margin; and Larkin was one of
those officials who always obeyed or
ders.
We look upon Captain Swasey's book
as the most interesting and valuable
contribution TO pioneer literature that
has yet been written; and a copy Of it
ought to be in every California students
hand

to the council that bids for the $320,0OO

specify the amount of bonds yet to be
sold, not declaring that there are $3.50, 900

MISPLACED CONFIDENCE.

It Caused Mr.. Pierce to Lose His
Watch.
Yesterday friend of Mr.. F. Pierce
called at his blacksmith shop at 729
South Olive street and asked permission
to go and lie down in the back room.
This was readily granted. Remaining
there for time, he came out and asked
Mr.. Pierce for some money to get q
meal and went off.
Half an hour after Mr.. Pierce entered
the room to look at his gold watch that
he left in his vest, and found it gone.
Mr.. Pierce accuses his friend of the
theft and has given full description oil
