THE gold value in silver dollar
amounts by the latest quotation of the
silver metal to about 54 cents. The sill.
yer value of gold dollar is about 81. 85.
The present ratio between the gold and
silver dollar is 295, Quite a contrast to
the old established ratio OF Ii to Ia
standard OF value that was substan
italy maintained for hundreds of years.
Mr.. Bland. who has been the indomit-
able champion of silver since it's demon
etization in 1873, announces 1t to be his
purpose to introduce a free coinage
measure on the assembling OF congress.
though he disclaims any intention OF
interfering with the passage OF the new
tariff bill. This will give the members
of both houses an opportunity OF putting
themselves on record after having heard

Those who desire to see the sugar
bounty legislation remain on the statute
books would do we'll TO bestir them
selves. No doubt the industry will be
self-supporting in few years, and it
will then be possible to dispense with
national aid, but this is scarcely the
case now. 1t is emphatically an lin
fant industry" and it is one OF the few
instances of protected interest by
which the farmer has been known to
benefit. The United States pays $780,
100000 year for foreign sugars, and 1t
is highly desirable that the country
should be self-sustaining as to this inn
portant product. Those who have put
up expensive plants on the strength of
congressional legislation have a moral
right to enjoy the benefits OF the law
for few years, at least.

UNIVERSAL regret was expressed in
Los Angeles that Coquelin and Hading
and their company made such short
stay here. The single play in which
they appeared scarcely afforded an op.
portunity for the display of their versa
tile talents. We have a large French
population in this city and many Ange-
leilos understand French, and both
would have been delighted to assist at
the highly artistic representations of
these gifted players. Monsieur Coo
was scarcely seen at his best; or,
rather, the piece did not admit of the
display of his varied range of ability,
although his histrionic capabilities
were clearly indicated. Madame Had
ing created charming impression.
She possesses in an exceptional degree
the beauty OF genius, and is strik-
ingly endowed with sensibility, passion
and fire, to which she adds magnetic
voice and queenly carriage. Perhaps
the most interesting feature of the
performance was the evidence it afforded
OF the consummate perfection OF the
French school of acting. The methods
OF the Comedie Franchise, elaborated
with painstaking care since the DAYS OF
Moliere, show the degree to which grace
and elegance can be carried by compe-
tent artists. A close inspection of this
refined school of the dramatic art would

THERE is not as yet any evidence OF
the flush times that were to follow in the
east fast upon the repeal OF the pur-
chasing clause of the Sherman act. The
business depression continues. and
money is still being heaped up in the
financial centers of the country. The
silver scare having served its purpose,
the tariff is nov being used as the great
bugaboo. Los Angeles is today in q
better plight than any other city in the
United States, allowing for population,
and more enterprises looking to devel-
opment ere now going forward in the
Southern counties than in any portion
of this broad land.

THE MIDwINrRR FAIR.

The chamber of commerce has issued
Bulletin No. l, relating to Southern
California at the midwinter fair. II
says truly that the enterprise has now
reached stage that admits of no further
question as to its success. and that il
will surpass in point of magnitude any
thing ever seen in this country with the
exception OF the Columbian exposition
at Chicago. 1t might perhaps have
been well to have also made an excep-
tion OF the centennial, at Philadelphia.
Seventy buildings are either in course OF
erection or in contemplation. 1t is q
matter for great regret that Santa Bar
bara and Orange have declined to enter
the league of southern counties, pre-
! fer,ing to erect buildings of their own,
or to seek some other method OF max
ing their exhibit. The executive COM
mttee of the Midwinter Fair association
consists o. j. S. Slauson, president,
Charles Formsn, treasurer, and Charles
Silent, T. d. Stimson and d. Freeman,
of Los Angeles county, r. HI. Young,
of San Diego, I. S. Ingham, of San Ber-
nardino, j. r. Newberry, of Riverside
and f. A. Foster, of Ventura. These
gentlemen are noted for their excep-
tional energy and standing in the COM
munity, and there is little doubt but
that, in their energetic hands, the work
OF securing an adequate representation
OF the southern counties in the Sunset
City will be accomplished satisfactorily.
The bulletin from the chamber OF COM
merce dwe.ls upon the necessity OF Sc
curing thorough representation of our
products at the Midwinter Fair. Speak
ing of the Southern California building
it says:
A building will be constructed for the
reception OF the exhibits OF the counties
in the association, for which an sdmira-
BILE location has been granted in the
center OF the fair grounds The build
ing, 9Jxl60 in size, and so feet high.
will contain nearly twice as much ex-
hibit space as Hazards pavilion in Los
Angeles, where the citrus fairs are held.
The design of the architect, Mr.. Sumner
Z. Hunt, is at once elegant in appear
ance and convenient in arrangement.
i ne contract lOr lt6 CONSTRUCTOR Will Do
let within few days, and the building
will be completed and opened by the
lat of January.
The gentlemen who have this matter
in hand very justly attach great i'm
portance to the excursions by sea and
land which it is proposed to run from
San Francisco to Los Angeles and the
other southern counties. Those who
have been attracted by our exhibits will
naturally wish to see the region from
which they came, and here is where we
will reap rich reward for our outlay
and work. Probably million people,
during the progress of the fair, will visit
Golden Gate park, and large proper
tion OF them will undoubtedly drop
down to Southern California. The COM
mittee will meet at the chamber of COM
merce tomorrow at 1880 e.. m, and
there ought to be and probably will be
large attendance. No time should be
lost in pushing the preparations tc have
this section fittingly represented at the
opening OF the fair.

UNITY CLUB.

The Unscholarly Search of Lower
Criticism.
Rev. j. B. Stewart of Pasadena read
a delightful paper before a large audi
erce at the Unity club last evening on
the above subject.
DR.. Stewards paper abornded in
witty remarks and anecdotes that
amused and interested his hearers
throughout his entire lecture. His
paper in the main was defense of his
position on the Briggs controversy,
though from point of view that showed
the speSker's broadness of feeling. He
said Orthodoxy is represented by the
church with which happen to be con-
nected, and which my great grandpa
rents chose for me 100 years before 1
WAS born. l say happen" for if had
been born in Cork the probability is thatI
should be Roman Catholic. 1t is my
misfortune that | am compelled to use
the apparently invidious word ortho-
doxy, but use it not absolutely but
conventionslly. For orthodoxy means
neither truth nor falsehood, practically
considered every orthodoxy has been
heterodoxy, and every heterodoxy has
at least a chance of becoming ortho-
doxy. In 1887 several synods of the
Presbyterian church were excluded.
They were then heretics. In 1869, with
out any change of opinion, they were
taken bac,, and became orthodox by
being mum bered with the majority. Re-
ferring to Prof Briggs trial, he said he
was unfc .-tunate in being tried by a
supreme court of 800 men while our
national supreme court consists only
OF nine men. A popular assembly
can never be judicial. The judicial has
no constituency. The extreme con-
servative assumes that slowness is al
ways safe and change always dangerous.
The slowest man ever knew, while
Jogging along with his old traps, was
smashed up at railroad crossing. Re-
fuaai to change may be dangerous. We
now see that man may be better than
his creed, or that one may be good
without one. The people are beginning
to cay, less creed and more practice.
1t is not Christianity that embarrasses
US in the preaching of free gospel, it
is Ecclesiasticism with which Chris
tianity is so often confounded.

the use OF common sense in the study
of the scriptures, and not tight" over

JACK The SLAsHER has created no

culisr pranks. 1t is passing strange that
the police force of that city has not been
able to run him down. The last sensa-

THE action of the Los Angeles savings
banks in announcing their willingness
to pay all demands OF depositors with.
out waiting for the expiration of the
notice required by law is judiclous and
reassuring. The fact is that these in
stitutions have been managed with
notable skill and sagscity, and they
have proved themselves to be amongst
the soundest banks in the United States.
There was never at any time the slight
est cause for any anxiety as to our
banks, with the single exception of the
City bank. The instant recovery from
an unreasonable scare at the opening of
the past summer showed how conserva-
lively, honestly and s&illfully our banks
OF all kinds have been managed. Free
quent references are made to the legal
reserves OF eastern banks. These re-
serves are twenty-five per cent. of the
deposits. During the past summer The
New York banks ran away behind this
figure and were obliged to issue within
fraction of $42 900, 900 worth of clear
ing house certificates to keep ON their
feet. The Los Angeles banks far ex-
ceeded this legal reserve of the New
York banks, some of them doubled il
and in few instances practically dollar

banks in the United States made bet.

banks have always shown every indica.
tion OF the most intelligent management
and the promptness with which they
have recognized the improved tinancia
situation and the treasured sentiment
OF the community is highly gratifying
to the well-wishers of Los Angeles.
