TIE demand for the Columbian Worlds
Fair edition of the ILLUSTRATED HERALD
has proved very gratifying. Everybody
wants a copy of this superb publication
to send to some friend at the east. 1t
is, beyond doubt, the finest and most ct
trac3ive pictorial print that has ever
been sent out from this city, and the
wide circulation it will have at the east
and in Europe will be the means OF at
tracing many desirable settlers to this
section of the state. The matter it con-
tains is the very kind that strangers are
anxious to get about Southern Califor'

There is no question OF the fact that
banks are designed for the purpose o.
making money. To do this the money
OF depositors must be used. Just now
there is a remarkable stringency in the
money market. The fool public stands
with big club in its idiotic hands,
threatening the banks. The banks are
quite responsive, and perch themselves
on their sacks OF coin, wondering when
they can dare put their deposits to their
legitimate uses. And 30. between the
fool agitator and the frightened banker,
industry is suspended, enterprise is
comatose and fatal blight rests upon
the whole country. Congress, IN it's
special session, can do much to change
this state Of things. The first annunei-
atfcn that should come from that body
ought to be the passage of resolution
pledging the credit of the United States
to the parity of every form OF money
issued by it. That simple preamble and
resolution will of itself place our finances
on rock of safety, and restore conf
dence. The reason why everything is 60
/ ing to the devil is because 1t is now fully
believed in Wall street that that vicious
thoroughfare and Lombard street, Lon
don, control the United States, and that
this country will untarily disemb bowel
itself to please English fnanciers and
imitation Englishmen. There will be a
big reaction from that fool vagary when
congress shall assemble on the 7th ol
August. Instead of base spirit of sur
render and submission, it will be found
that American patriotism never struck
higher flights than it will in this mid
summer session Of congress.

A TIMELY SUGGESTION.

Mayor Rowan has taken = departure
as chief executive OF this city which
shows that he considers his Office as one
which should not be confined to its
mere periunctory duties, but which
should be alert in looking out for the
people's interests in all directions.
He has been lately in the habit Of
taxing the initiative in calling the at
tention of the council to moral and eco
nomical questions Of public concern.
Thus few weeks ago he directed atten-
ton to the abuse Of the liquor bueiness
by permitting certain class OF saloons
to have "ladies' entrances" where young
women are initiated into vicious habits
by designing men.
At the last meeting OF the council he
sent in a message calling attention to
the fact that contractors for street and
sidewalk paving are placing their bids
at from 40 to 80 per cent higher for work
done under the bond street improve
ment law than they are willing
to do the work for in cash. He
recognizes the fact that con tract-
ors make these exorbitsnt bids for
the reason, as they ssy, that as there is
a doubt about the legality of the bonds
they have to sell them at great dis.
count.
The mayors good common sense
comes in to meet this reason. He says
there is case now before the courts
that will soon be settled on appeal
which will set the constitutionality Of
the street improvement bonds at rest.
There is hardly the shadow of doubt
that the supreme court will decide the
bonds valid, when they will readily sell
at par.
/ In the meantime he advises the coun-
Gil to order no street Improvements that
are not imperative under the bond act,
and thus relieve the people from the
unconscionable cinches they are now
subjected to in making improvements
under that act. This advice is timely
and sensible. Property.holders should
not be sweated numerically in order to
furnish guarantee of the bonds to con-
tractors.
The street.bond act is bene6cent
measure. It enables the poor home
stead owner to meet the cost of expens-
i've street Improvements in yearly in
stallments, and in many cases would
save his property from confiscation.
Where the cost of street improvement
is spread over several years the poor
property-holder is enabled to meet it,
whereas if he had to pay it down in a
lump sum he would be forced to sell his
property at sacrifice OF let it go for the
assessment.
It is to be hoped that the supreme
court will at the earliest possible mo-
ment settle the law in thin bond ques-
ton 80 that the benefcent object of the
act may be fully realized in practice by
the poor homestead owners.

THE Vice-P President, during his Wit

to be thoroughly responsive to the
wishes OF the people on all popular

charge from Governor Pennoyer, of Ore

That the Vice. President emerged sue

emerged unscathed, but he intimated
that he would favor legislation in the
interest OF the common people, which,
of course, means that he is in favor OF
the free coinage of silver.

These six nations owe together
$ls,435, 900 600, and the principal
amount OF this is the property OF Eng
land.
If these English bankers destroy silver
and reduce it to one-half its present
value, they will double the present
amount of the bonded debt.
There is at present in the world about
$3.50, ,O0O,0 600 OF silver and $l2O 00O, 900
of gold. Destroy silver, and everything
existing but gold will be debt; all cur
rency will at once become 10, and in
consequence there will be corner on
gold.
If England on this basis should draw
ON her bonds che would draw to her little
island all the gold in the world.
There never was greater farce pro-
mulgated on the face of the earth than
that which is at present sprung in this
country to make it tributary to the
bankere of Europe.

EIGHT LEFT DEAD.
A Bolt of Lightning Strikes Ringiing'S Circus
Tent.


RIVER FALLS, Wis, June 21.-During
a severe thunder storm at 4 o'clock this
afternoon lightning struck the center
pole in the menagerie Of Ringing Bros.
circus. Eight people were killed in
stantly and thirty or more injured,
some fatally. 1t was the most appalling
calamity that ever happened in this part
of the state. The storm itself was a
fearful one. AS the performance drew
to a close, the dark clouds, terrific thun-
der and brilliant lightning caused a feel
ing of uneasiness, natural to large
crowd assembled in tent. The light
ming became vivid and flashes followed
each other with rapid frequency. Then
there was one terrific clap of thunder
Almost instantly the tent was lighted
as if by a thousand electric lights, and
the great center pole was shivered al
most to atoms, while at it's foot lay the
dead and dying 1t was an awful scene.
1t is no wonder the great crowd was
panic-stricken. The wonder is that
more were not killed and injured in the
mad stampede from the Inflated tent
The roars of the savage beasts in their
cages seemed to add terror to the al
ready crazed mass Of humanity. The
work of death and destruction was done
in an instant. There was really nothing
more to fear and the crowd poured out
into the drencbing rain.
The killed are: O. A. Dean, Eugene
Reynolds, A. Carpenter, a 14-vear-old
boy, son of O. p Virgins; 12-vear-old
boy, SOP of Curtis Aldridge; j. A.
Glendenning, town clerk of Oak Grove;
boy, son Of j. a. Glendenning; an I'M
known boy.
Among the seriously injured are the
wife and another son of j. 4. Glenden-
ming, thus nearly annihilating a whole
family. The performance was not quite
over, but the terrible storm caused the
immense throng to crowd out of the
tent. While the people were passing
out the tent was struck twice with the
above results. Fire started, but was
put out. The presence of mind of the
Ringlings and their employees alone
prevented a stampede, which undoubt-
eddy would have been attended with
still greater fatality. The crowd was
held in check and the dead and injured
removed as soon and quietly as posi-
BILE.
The circus was showing in the edge of
grove about quarter of mile from
the center Of the town. When the bolt
of lightning struck the tent more than
fifty people were Frustrated. Eight
were killed instantly, a few were in
,jured, and the balance are now regain

CAREER OF ADMIRAL TRYON.
Well Known for Half Century in
British Naval Affairs.


WASHINGTON, D. c., June 23.-Sir
George Tryon, the ce-admiral who
went down in his flagship the Victoria,
is one of the best known of the
British naval officers. Commander
Chadwick, now in charge of the
naval intelligence office here,
was we'll acquainted with him during
his residence in London as United States
high praise of the Admiral's character
and ability as a naval officer. He was a
man Of vast experience, his service be-
ginning in the days before steam was a
prominent feature in naval architecture,
and running through all the vari-
Gus phases of development that
were marked by the substitution
of steam for sail power, of.iron for
wooden hull, of steel for iron, of tur-
rets for broadsides and ofarmor for thin
sheathing. He was a man who had
earned the highest honors within the
gift of the British nation. His name
first appears on the naval list away back
in the days of the Crimean war,
where he served in the nav
al brigade before Sebastopol during
the winter of 1S53-4..in the trenches, and
| where he was wounded. He was pres
ent at all the operations before Sebasto-
pol and at the capture of Kinburn. He
received medals for distinction and was
specially mentioned in dispatches for
services as director of transports during
the Abyssinian war of 1868. He was
private secretary to the first lord of the
admiralty from 1S71-74, and re-
ceived various orders of knighthood
and received the approval of the govern
ment for the manner in which he dis
charged his duties on the coast Of Tunis
| and in the Sfax commission Of inquiry
in 1881. He became acting permanent
permanent secretary in the follow
ing year. III 1884 he became COM
mander-in-chief on the Australian
station and after a brief attempt
at parliamentary career was made ad-
miral superintendent of naval reserves
in 1889. He commanded one of the OPP
posing fleets in the naval maneuvers in
1859 and was made communicating
chief of the Mediterranean forces Aug

The Prince of Wales Yacht Victorious
in the Mcrsey Races.
LONDON, June 24.-The jubilee regatta
of the Mersey Yacht Club was to have
been sailed to-day over the original
channel course, distance of sixty-five
miles, taking the contestants out
side the bar. A heavy gale
was blowing and the conditions
were such that the race over this course
had to be abandoned. 1t was decided,
however, to sail race from New
Brighton to the Formby lightship, the
course to be covered three times.
The Valkyrie, the tonnage of
which has been reduced from 149
to IA 80 and other changes effected to
bring her within the rating necessary
for competition for the Americas cup,
did not start to-day. The Prince
of Wales Britannia was the first
to cross the starting line, fol-
lowed bv the Satanita and the
Iverna. The Calluna was twenty-five
minutes late IN getting Off and she there
fore retired from the race. The Britain
MIA won the race. Her time was 3
hours IS minutes The Satanita was
second in hours and % minutes.

common consent could match him for
fitness to do that same. He seldom
looked for cheap men to do large work;
he wanted Francis Walker, whom money
could not tempt from Boston: Ii he
gave an order for a painting 1t was to
Meissonier orss Bonnet, or some OF the
most capable of our home artists. Yet
few men have ever lived in this country
who received more ideas from the hum
man who thinks he does not
know it all Stanford extended
his time and conversation with,
believing that modesty has the
artesian depth and must flow living
springs if bored deep enough. He was
the greatest vineyard proprietor on the
globe; 1000 acres of vines. making .3OO.-
UUU gallons o. VINE per year, suggesting
a cooperage that is of itself a career; he
had 100000 gallons of wine and brandy
now, which, it is said, will be offered tor
auction in New York to relieve his
vaults. He used no foreign wines but
land in the $4,000 acres he put in his be-
quests is worth in part 5000 to $500 per
acre. California fruit this year almost
controls the world.
Various estimates have been made
from time to time of Senator Stanford g
wealth. He has been by many placed
as high as $20,O00,0o0 and even $50, 0O0,-
600, and again there have been those
who have leaped all barriers and placed
his wealth at $70,000,000. In these
times and CONSIDERING his interests in
the southern Pacltc system, the great
Palo Alto and Vina ranches, his
city and country residences, it
is difficult to arrive at what
he actually was worth. The resi-
dence at Palo Alto, with it's extensive
grounds, is undoubtedly the finest OF
its kind in California, and perhaps
there are no country residences
in America in all respects SO
fine. 1t is here that the Sena-
tor spent most Of his time since
he returned from Washington. In his
residence there, and on California
Street, are pictures and statuary that
have cost hundreds of thousands of dol
lars. He has lived like king, travelled,
as all know, by special car, and with a
retinue of attendants that has aston
ished even the richest men of the
