assumed to be due to subterranean gases
which heave up the mud floor. and not to
deposition of detritus. The obstruction is.
therefore. quite local, but it has been
formed at different places frequently.
Before giving way to useless lamenta-
tions the remedy Of the modern sand or
mud-rump dredger may be applied. The
dredger now at work removing the bar at
the mouth of the Mersey is capable of
lifting from 10000 to 10000 tons in ten
hours. BY working twenty-fOur hours it
would force up 100000 tons, or over mil
Lion tons In fortnight The subterranean
gases operate slowly in upheaval. and it
is quite probable that the pump dredger
would counterfeit the ShOaling in short
time, and. in short. dredge deeper chan
nels all the way down to the Belize. II
cannot be questioned that whatever hap
pens to the navigable channels the waters
of the Mississippi will find an exit into the
Gulf of Mexico. For ages they have
flowed in that direction. and the sediment
they bear has built up deep aluvial delta
from Memphis southwark. The confne-
ment of the river within navigable chan
nels is therefore extremely important. The
great dredgers now possible of construc-
ton give tremendous leverage in deepen
ing and widening rivers for all practical
PURPOSES

Uses they propose to fulfill when they get
ready. There is such an aggregate Of
wealth behind them that no single cred
itor can Insist that the coin his bank calls
fer shall be paid off-band. AS device to
get along with the smallest possible
amount OF coin the clearinghouse certif-
cate is success. They nelp also to make
banking profitable. One of the drawbacks
in the banking business is the necessity of
holding a proportion of real money idle
to meet possible demands with. The
Clearing certificates do away with
that necessity. When coin is called for
the bank shows the Clearing house that
though short Of coin it has securities.
Then the Clearing house issues certificates
that serve the bank AS we'll as coin. This
kind of thin ble-rg game will go on until
there is real scarcity of coin. But paper
promises to pay which do not need to be
redeemed are far from safe currency.

GOSSIP OF THE HOTELS.

Among the guests at the Baldwin are Marco
Hellman and wife OF Los Angeles. Mark Is the
son of banker and a baseball epicure. He
would much rather talk about incurves,
double plays and balkballs than eat terrapin
stew and chocolate icecream. There was a
time when Mr.. Helman was baseball mag
nate and owned, controlled, bOssed and I'M
bOssed the Los Angeles baseball Team. But
the same long-legged and wicked hoOdoo whic h
relegated Colonel T. Robinson to the realms of
sad and unhappy past got its grip on Marco
Hellman, and he now keeps company with I. p.
and other ex-managers.
He was from Sacramento. She came from
another interior town. They were young-very
young-aud as soft and delicately tender as
they were Young. Each carried small hand
bag, and when they registered at the Occi-
dental Hotel on Sunday they looked :he picture
OF innocence and timdity. No sooner had they
registered than she received telegram. Then
came tears. He cOmforted her as they assembled
in the elevator to their rooms. There was an
air OF mystery and sorrow upon their faces.
Early yesterday morning they paid their bill
and went their way. 1t was all very strange
this shadow OF a romance.
A. j. Klauper of San Diego Is at the Lick
House. Mr.. Klauber is a wholesale grocer in
the Southern city by the sea. During the lat @
lamented real estate boom In San Diego Mr..
Klauber made and unmade doZ fortunes.

town lots known as the Klauber addition was
named after him, and yet Mr.. klauber to-day Is
happily content to sell the dried herring, the
picked tomato and the shining glucose rather
than be known as land baron.
Fred Banta OF Fresno Is at the Grand. Mr..
Banta Is the senior vicedepartment commander
OF the Grand Army of the Republic. Depart
ment Of California and is In the city attending
business meeting of the department council
Of administration.
William Smythe and j. c. Smythe of London.
England, are at the Palace Hotel. They are
well-known barristers 10 the British metropolis,
and are making tour of the world purely as a
matter of recreation.
A trio OF bright young college boys are at the
Occidental. They are George G. Moore, Will
liam I. Powell and George B. Reed Of Clear
field. Pa. Being vacation time they selected a
California tour instead Of European trip. and
II goes without saying they will see every ele-
plant to be found in the forests and jungles of
California.
Otto Wagner of the City OF Mexico. and his
friend Max Schrodmayer Of Stuttgart. Ger

Mr.. Wagner Is wealthy merchant In Mexico.
While doing the Worlds Fair in Chicago lie met

see California and Mexico before he returned to
the Fatherland.
S. L. Biddle. the banker and capitalist Of

an enthusiast on The proposed winter fair at
Golden Gate Park, and says that as soon as the
interior towns are satisfied the fair will be a
certainty they will come to the trout with any
amount OF financial and other assistance.

The remarks attributed to Sir Charles
Dixie ABOUT Admiral Tryon's blunder and
what would have happened had he sur
vived are much too outspoken. Dixie has
been in the Foreign Office and has been
round the world twice, but he is no sailor
aud less an engineer. Still Tryon's orders
are inexplicable. He could not have been
deceived about the distance, because the
columns were six cables length asunder
and he should not have been deceived
about the condition of the Victoria, be-
cause he had men 20 report to him.

THE MACHINE WINS.

The process by which Kelly and Grim
Minis defeated candidate for County Clerk
IS placed on front seat in the License
Collectors Office illustrates the advantage
Of b'ss training in the pursuit of office.
The License Collector is nominated by the
Mayor, Treasurer and Auditor. Now, if
the nominating board must agree upon
one man. the Board of Supervisors then
confirm or reject as may seem to them for
the good of the public or any individual
thereof whose interests the board may de-
sire to promote. The present nominating
board is composed of one Non-Par.isan,
one Democrat and one Repu blican. The
Board of Supervisors is Democratic. How
TO bring about a nomination which would
be confirmed by the Supervisors was the
problem tn solve. A nominee of Ebert,
the Non-Partisan Mayor, or of Wild
Der, the Republican Treasurer, would
almost certainly be rejected by the
Supervisors. And Broderick. whose
nominee would presumably be &C
ceptable, could not nominate without
the vote Of either Ebert or Widber. By
some means the friends of Fred W. Lees
succeeded in impressing Mayor Ebert that
Lees was the man for the place. When
Lees was nominated, and still more when
his mfnation was con frmed, it was re-
garded as triumph for the Mayor. 1t is
not so regarded now. No sooner was
Lees sworn in than he pulled Blattner out
of The Kelly-Crimmins mire, in which he
had disappeared last November, and made
him chief deputy Of the License Collect
or's office. Young Lees appears to be an
old hand at the game of politics. When
Ebert protested against the appoin tment
Of Blattner. Lees asked. coolly, What are
YOU going to do about ?'

CLEARINGHOUSE CERTIFICATES.

1t is stated that the New York Clearing
house has authorized the issue of certif-
Gates to the amount OF S21.6l5,000. These
certificates enable banks which nave avail
able assets in excess Of their liabilities to
tide over crisis The banks composing
the Clearinghouse are collectively solvent.
When a member of it finds itself in
trouble the Clearing house examines its
condition. and if that condition is found
to be reasonably satisfactory certificate
IS issued which serves the purpose of cash.
OF course these Clearing house certificates
partake largely Of the character of fat
money. They have in themselves no in

commercial value. They are not money,

PROFITS OF HANDLING MONEY.

1t now appears that the late A. j. DreXel
made S30000.000 handling other peoples
money. Drexel was gold standard man.
He made immense sums of money by the
increase in the purchasing power of money
in the last twenty years. There was no
cutlery from Wall street when bonds pay
able 10 coin were redeemed in gold with %
per cent premium. as was sometimes the
case, all payable in gold. The bankers Of
New York. Philadelphia and Boston are
for the single gold standard to man.
SO are the great journals of those cities.
The single gold standard enables man in
an ordinary lifetime to accumulate
S30.000,000 without producing dollar or
what could be sold for a dollar. These
$4,000 600 bankers are now trying to per-
suade Congress that the ruin of this coun-
try can only be averted by establishing the
gold standard.

DOMESTICATING BEARS.
Two Farmers in Dispute About a
Family of the Animals.
st. Louis Globe Democrat.

st. Louis Globe Democrat.
Farmer Dan Warren lives near Hagan's
Pond. Sullivan County. n. Y, and a bear
and four cubs come out of the woods and
feed in his meadow. He has not raised a
gun to them, and he chuckles as he looks
at the furry little youngsters. Farmer
Wood is his neghbor. does not like bears.
and, when he started to bring in the cows
few days ago and met the Youngsters and
their mother. he let his dog flv at them and
get killed. Wood got his rifle. and when
he missed the big bear she chased him all
the way into the back kitchen. Then she
made faces at him and trotted back with
her little ones. Wood is afraid to 90 after
his cows now and swears he will Kill the
bear, and Farmer Warren just as emphat-
ically swears that he will do no such thing.
Warren feels that he has proprietary in
terest in the bears, as they feed on his
land. He says he wants the cubs to grow
old enough to make fit eating, then he will
kill them himself. And Wood is such a
peaceful man that he says he will move
before he fights with his neghbor.

is reported by the United States engineers
IN charge that there is no longer depth OF
twenty-eight or thirty feet, but little more
than twenty-five, and that vessels with
more than that draught are in danger. If
the shoaing becomes more permanent it
would be heavy calamity for the port,
because the tendency of modern shipping
