The shocking news has just rescued US
that John W. Fiheld Of West Deer Isle
hung himself this II )rning Sept % He
had been in poor health for some time, but
was not considered 10 danger. nor was he
known to be deranged. though it is said
that the doctor who had seen him lately

He had been gone from the house but
short time when his wife found him
with his neck broken.
Mr.. Fitield was an Industrious, upright

AN INSTRUCTIVE TABLE.

Few intelligent men car have failed
to notice how the descent in the price OF
silver, following the demonetization OF
the white metal in 1873, was followed,
part pdssu. by fall in the price of all
products that the farmer and planter
produces in the United States. The OBJ
ject OF England in demonetizing silver
was to lower the selling price of that
metal. With her ability to buy silver
bullion at great discount, and to coin
it into rupees, she could stimulate the
production Of both wheat and cotton by
the innumerable ryots who obey the
will of her government in India. 1t
was profound conspiracy, concocted
with consummate skill and ably carried
out. 1t did just what 1t was intended
to do, viz, it parslyzed the American
farmer and planter and enabled the
European and American capitalist-the
allied financial ghouls OF Wall street in
New York and Lombard street in Lon.
don--to devour the producer and the
debtor-to "trip them to the cleaning
and ghastly white bones Of skeletons.
Fortunately there ie nothing speculative
about the view we are presenting. 1t
can be verified to the minutest nicely,
and here it is in tabular form. Figures

TIE HKnAIn was waited unon vest

THE HERALD was waited upon yester-
day by number OF prominent Demo-
Gratis, who assured US that the defaulter
Stewart, Mr.. Watson's assistant, was
not recommended for the appointment
by the Democratic City committee. On
the contrary, that body declined to en-
dorse him on the gIoand that he was q
Republican, and had voted for Harri-
son. The impression that he was a
Democrat grew out OF the fact that he
was personally recommended by the
Hon. J. Marion Brooks, the chairman of
the Democratic City committee, who is
understood to be on his bond. His ap-
pointment seems to have been part and
parcel OF Mugwump programme, Of
which there has been general complaint
in Los Angeles. and pursuant to which
n, square-toed Democrat has stood a
chance for any thing. Stewart unques-
tionably belongs to the party Of great
moral Ideas"

MUSICAL.

The commencement of the musical
season in Los Angeles was delightfully."-
celebrated last night at the Conserva-
tory of Music on South Broadway. The
occasion was reception rendered by
Mrs. Emily J. Valentine to Mr.. and
Mrs. Carlyle Petersilea. Mrs. Nealy
Stevens and Professor Edwin II. Clark.
The conservatory hall, and indeed.
the entire floor, was thrown open for
the reception of guests to do honor to
the distinguished musicians, and the
reception was a pronounced success.
There were fully 300 present during the
evening, embracing many of the promi-
nent music lovers and celebrities OF the
city. Never in 10 years has there been
such an assemblsge of those devoted to
music in private reception.
The hail was embellished with beau
tiiul flowers, and as q musicale the
event waa characterized by @ programme
OF rere excellence. Refreshments were
served at ii for the participants in the
concert.
The following were the numbers, and
they furnished fitting setting for the
pleasant occasion.

JUDGE Ross yesterday decided that a
Chinese gambler was a laborer in the In
tent of the law. He also includes the
gay and festive high-binder in the came
category. As was to be expected of him,
this able and conscientious judge de-
clines to allow himself to be bound by
any narrow and restricted rules OF inter-
probation. A liberal acceptance of the
judges decision-something in the line
OF free ranslation-would be that only
Chinese merchants, students and trav-
elers who intend to improve their minds
were to be admitted to the United
States. The judges own felicitous Ian
guage can be found elsewhere. If his
erudite opinion needed any confrma-
tion, the HERALD suggests that they be-
long to the class that Wilkie Collins de-
scribed as "moral agriculturists, and
that they are consequently laborers.

In the foregoing we have confirmation
strong sa proof of Holy Writ of what
the HERALD has all along charged. No
intelligent man-Eastern doctrinaires
are of course elided from this enumera-
tion-can have failed to note the re-
morseless and resistless rate at which
this descent in the price of wheat and
cotton has accompanied the steady and
remorseless knitting of silver. There is
something melancholy in the extreme
in this record of American stupidity and
surrender at the dictation of England
and Germany-Germany blundering
along stupidity in the hope Of inluring
France; and England, blundering
scarcely less stupidity. in the hope of
raking in twice the money due her, for
getting, all the while. that when either
man or nation is thoroughly impov-
erished, he cannot pay anything, and
that exaction and reputation go hand
in hand together.
All honor to the band Of game Ameri-
cans in the senate OF the United States
who are standing up Tor the right The
well-being of the whole of mankind is
linked with their struggle. Whether
they lose temporarily or no the fight
will have only begun. The people are
Of last alive to their true interests.
They have gone through an educstive
process that has made them keenly
alive to the peculiar game Of which
they have been made the victims. The
West and South can elect the President
and both. houses of congress, and a
wrong consummated in the present
body can be quickly repaired. God pity
the fenegades who have betrayed their
constituents in the present House OF
Representatives. Their hleached politi-
cal bones will be passed by with horror
by everybody that is ambitious of pol
itical future. The men who have pre-
ferred 'pie" to principle are already
dead beyond hope of resurrection. AS

say, in the language of the sister OF
Lazarus to the Lord Jesus, "He is not

Alkali and Gypsum.

DR.. Perrin OF Fresno, a wealthy land
owner, owns 10000 acres of land in
Fresno county that is practically worth
less. owing to the fact that the soil is
strongly impregnated with alkali.
The doctor has decided 10 acres Of land,
covered with alkali, about eeven miles
west Of Fresno, to Messrs. D. g. Over
all, W. +. Hall and Mark Lavelle OF this
city, who own a gypsum mine and mill
near Coalinga, and they propose to re-
claim the land and make it susceptible
to cultivation. They will cover it with
ground gypsum and then cultivate the
soil, and then give it another covering of
alkali neutralizer. They will plant the
1O-acre tract to wheat or barley.
DR.. Perrin has agreed to purchase all
the gywsum the mine owners can pro-
duce if they will demonstrate that the
effects OF alkall in the soil can be neu-
tralizsd by the use Of gypsum. All he
requires is that crop OF some kind be
raised on the ground.
The gentlemen are confident OF suc.
cess. Mr.. Lavelle and Mr.. Overall went
to Fresno several days ago to make ar
rangements for the test. Mr.. Hall re-
ceived q telegram yesterday from Mr..
Overall, requesting him to 60 to Fresno
to consult regarding the matter. MIR.

THERE is occasionally something OF a
very humorous character dropping in
the way of observant people. Mr.. Will
lard, the secretary OF the chamber of
commerce, lately received letter from
a gentleman resident in town of Illi-
nois, in which he stated that himself
and good sized colony of his neighbors
contemplated settling in Southern Cali
fornis, but they thought that Los Ange-
les was perhaps too far south and too
warm for their purpose. Now this is
all very funny. We have nothing to
say against Fresno. That prolific re-
gion has our best wishes. But here ia
an intelligent gentleman and his
associates who have been led
to believe, from some source,
that Los Angeles, which pos
sesses the mildest and most equable
climate on earth. is actually hotter in
summer than Fresno, while in truth our
coast climate is a dream OF bliss that
would vile the oerie down from the
border land OF Paradise. Do you not
think, men and brethren, that it would
be a good idee to send a good many
copies of The Columbian Worlds Fair
edition of the Los Angeles HERALD
back to that region of country?

EDrroRs HERALD: At present the
local Democracy is justly agitated at the
news from Washington OF Senator
Whites rsnunciation Of pie, and would
like to have say about 1t.
First, then-Whose pie has the sena-
tor renounced? And second--Is this
pie, like "the world, the hesh and the
devil" something 90 bad that be is to
deserve halo for renouncing IL? Twill
ans wer the last frat: that pie Is Q good
thing, and the just reward OF those who
sweat and toll 1t the windlass that LITE
such 90 Mr.. White into high Office, l
mean the "boys."
Mr.. White knew long before he was
elected that along with the honor Of his
Office came the often diHagreeable duty
OF being the go-bstween between the ex-
ecutive and the "boys." He suspected
that what Ben Butler said on the sub
ject was true: that with every Office to
distributed he would make 10 malcon-
tents and one migrate. So what does
our senator do?
He has the impotence to first quarrel
with his share of pie and then protiting
by @ temporary disaffection between his
locality and the president, dump the pie
in the eawdust.
Steve's ell right for six years.
But "the boys oh, whore are they"
Senator White knows better than to do
what he has; but he thinks the "boys"
won't know.
He knows the distributing Of pie is
not q privilege but duty.
Public pie is q public trust, and the
political representative should dispense
it and not dispense with il. y,
II he didn't get his full share of pie, he
should remember half leaf is some.
thing better than no bread.
That's what the "boys" will get here
after uniees the president msrciiully
opens to them some other channel OF
approach.
Bye and bye the "boys" will take q
tumble to themselves when they realize
that It's their pie that Is In the spittoon
and not Steve Whites. PI ETA.

the aid OF this peculiar and certainly

but when, as q result OF this decidedly
questionable method, the bankers OF
New York, and their subsidized or at
least terrorized press, turn round and
boast OF their superior solvency over the
