THE SIMPLE FACT OF THE CASE.

"The mountain labored and q mouse
was born" This line from the Latin
classics describes, not inaptly, the
work OF the extra session that has just
closed. There is no question but that a
great crisis in monetary affairs existed
throughout the country few months
ago. Such was the stringency that Mr..
Cleveland deemed it necessary to con-
vene congress in extra session to con-
slider the situation. They met and were
in session three whole months, then
adjourned, but, in the name of all the
gods at once, what has been accom-
plished to relieve the financial situa-
tion? They have relieved a hundred
thousand Chinese laborers from the
just penalty of violation OF our laws,
but what has been done for the relief of
the hundreds of thousands of Ameri-
can laborers who are starving for the
want Of work, owing solely to the money
stringency, which congress was called
upon to consider? Not thing; not the
least thing On the contrary, they have
endeavored to plunge the country into
etill deeper distress by stopping entirely
the coinage of silver, the tendency of
which action. as any child can see, must
be to make money still more scarce.
The fact is. Congress was called to-
gether at the dctation of Wall street,
with the confident expectation that the
great stringency in the money market,
purposely brought upon the people,
would compel the country to make
further concessions to the money-chang-
ing plutocrats. Their purpose cropped
out in John Sherman's bond scheme,
which he prudently saw fit to defer to a
more convenient season. Wall street
accomplished the temporary demoneti-
zation OF silver, it is true, but that was
only part of their plan. They intended
to control and enjoy the privilege OF
issuing the entire paper money circula-
tion of the country. This they will not
now be permitted to do. The issuance
OF money is a function of the govern
ment, and the people, when next they
have a chance to vote, will see to it that
the duty is properly and constitution
ally performed.
The money power. that expected to
gain so much out of the panic and the
extra session. have actually gained but
little. BY the bold and exceedingly
able discussion OF the silver men on the
repeal measure, the eyes of the people
have been opened and the plans of the
plutocrats exposed. The extra session
has been a slip-up for Mr.. Cleveland
and his Wall street friends in large part
after all. Well may we say OF it: "Par-
turiunt monies, nascetur ridiculus
mus ~

THE COMING ELECTIONS.

The two elections which will attract
most attention next Tuesday are those
of Ohio and Virginia. Looking at the
question from the ordinary political
standpoint, one might be justified in
saying, offhand, that the Democrats
will carry the Mother of States and
Statesmen and the Republicans her
daughter across the river. But this is
not an ordinary year. by any means,
and the unexpected is liable to happen.
The only thing that can be assumed
with certainty is that if Mckinley
should manage to beat Neal he becomes
from a possibility something like the
Republican nominee for 1896. Neal is
making a gallant fight, principally on
the tariff, and our sympathies go out to
him because he is not only sound on
that issue but on silver likewise. 1t is a
pretty hard thing to induce the Buck
eyes to 60 back on their own "Sweet
William" and this makes Meals fight
an uphill one. Ii we are to trust the
MuGwump and Republican papers and
orators, the Democrats of New York
have unnecessarily complicated their
case bv the nomination of Judge May
nard to succeed himself on the Court
of Appeals bench. But one can place
no reliance on the declarations
OF these worthless. The man they abuse
NEST is quite likely to be the best citi-
zen of the state; and, while be may not
be strong with dilettante, doctrinaire
crowd, he may stand remarkably we'll
with the people. Senator David Ben
nett Hill was notable instance in
point. While the Mugwumps will vote
against Maynard it need surprise no one
if he should get the largest vote of any
one on the Democratic ticket. To die
passionate, level-hesded man the charge
that Judge OF the Court OF Appeals of
great state like New York would de-
liberately steal election returns seems
absurd, and when We find Mugwump
and Repu blican journals indulging in
accusations of such highly favored
character we are inclined, at this die
tance, to take them with grain of salt.
1t will require good deal OF persuasion
AYE, and proof-to induce US to be-
lieve that Democratic State Conven-
tion would renominate a man for Judge
who was believed to have been guilty OF
felony.
Without venturing upon any opinion
as to how the elections will turn out, we
think we are safe in advising our read
ers to be prepared for surprises. If the
returns shall show any material weak
ening in the old parties the chances OF
the formation of a third party will be
greatly increased.

try could cooperate with the maritime
systems of the lakes. Los Angeles has
the same advantage Of being the point
at which all the railroad systems COM
ing across the continent can reach the
Pacific by the shortest and most econ
omical route. She has also the key to
the vast commerce of the Pacific. Her
back country and her soil resources are
simply illimitabe and mstchless. All
she wants is the right kind of push and
liberality in her substantial citizens to
make her in much less than one genera
tion the rival of any OF the great citio 8
of this continent.
Although we have not yet reached the
era Of immense fortunes in Los Angeles,
we, nevertheless, are in the midst
of as great opportunities ss the Chicago
people had three decades ago. We have
yet to prove our right to the great
growth and expansion which is surely
ours, if the men of the present will put
forth the energy. determination, and
evince the public spirit that character
lied the adolescent period of Chicago's
history. We have a few rich men
amongst US, though we have no Mar
shall Fields or Potter Palmers in our
midst. But if those who are blessed
with large fortunes will use them in the
way OF contributing to our advancement,
they will become still richer themselves
and create here a great. opulent and
prosperous city, of which the whole
country will be proud.
There is perhaps no other enterprise
that will open at once to the business
activities OF Los Angeles a greater inn
petus than the completion of the Nevada
Southern railroad. That road will prove
powerful factor in our city's growth
and advancement. To meet transient
difficulty in it's construction, it comes to
our people and asks them to take $50, 600
worth OF bonds, to be paid either in
money or in coal at the rate of $5 per
ton. This is the time for some of our
citizens of wealth to emulate the public
spirit of Marshall Field.

SAN FRANCISCO newspaper says that
the China and Japan steamers running
out of that port are very poorly patron
lied by the travelling public. The great
bulk Of tourists and others who come to
this continent by way of the orient take
the steamers that connect with the
northern routes. This is easily ex-
plained. With the single exception of
the City of Peking, all the China steam
ers sailing out of San Francisco are of
the old type, and less comfortable and
luxurious than the steamers on the
other routes. A great many OF the
cabin-clsss passengers who 60 to Europe
by the Red Sea route would come via
San Francisco if they could get good
steamship accommodations, for that
route passes through very disagreeable
and unwholesome part of the world.
The heat of the Red Sea is almost un-
endurable, and is dreaded by all who
make the voyage that way. If San
Francisco wants to hold her own in ca
tering to the travel from the orient, she
must bring pressure to bear on the Pa
cihc Mail company to put on better
class of steamers than il is now running.

BERLIN, Nov. 4. = The close of the
worlds fair at Chicago has been made
the occasion OF a number OF articles in
the German press referring to the satiS-
faction OF the German exhibitors at the
manner in which the affair was man
aged. 1t lie regarded as a foregone con-
clusion that it will have an immense
influence over the German-American
commercial relations in the future.
There was a large gathering this
morning at Potsdam barracks to witness
the recruits of the Potsdam garrison
take the oath of allegiance in the pres
ence of the emperor and empress, who
were accompanied by their eldest some.
The function was purely formal one.
The sequel to another army scandal,
embracing charges of brutality to pri-
vate soldiers, is the cashiering OF Lieu
tenant Schrag- Muller of the Thirty
ninth regiment OF infantry, stationed at
Dusseldorf.
At the instance of the prince regent of
Bavaria the Royal opera house of
Munich has offered a prize of 5000
marks for new German opera.
The Bavarian diet at Munich this
afternoon discussed motion to abolish
the Bavsrian legations at st. Petersburg
and Paris. A debate on Germany's
position in Europe followed, during
which Deputy Raitzipger declared that
but for the war on the German people
in 1866 the policy of blood pursued in
1870 might have been avoided. and in
place Of the present limited Germany,
an empire comprising all the German
race might have been created, with the
Danube remaining German river. In
reuly the premier said Germany's posi-
ton as now allied to Austria was better
than at any time since the union of the
German races.
The Associated Press correspondent
received from the finance ministry to-
night copy OF the bill embodying the
new financial scheme OF the empire and
which will now be submitted to the
bundesrath. The bill provides that the
federal contributions to the imperial
treasury, spart from the special sums
payable by the individual states, shall
be limited each year to sum at least
40,0 900 marks below the total pay
ments to the states out Of the imperial
revenue from customs and from the to-
bacco, stamp, excise and spirit duties.
In the event of a deficit in the ordinary
imperial budget, the taxes on articles OF
consumption may be increased.

HOW GREAT CITIRS ARE MADE.

The wires, few days since, brought
US word that Marshall Field, one OF
Chicago's rich men, had subscribed the
stupendous sum of one million dollars
towards fund to establish great mu-
scum out of the remains of the worlds
fair. Such museum would become
great educational institution, ard the
opportunity to create one OF immense
scope and embracing an endless variety
of objects would come when the exhibi-
tion closed. Such another opportunity
never existed before for any city, and
never would come again. But it re-
ouired money, and a great deal OF it. to
promptly take advantage of this unique
chance. Had the rich men of Chicago,
like the rich men of other cities, held
back until they were dragooned or
coaxed into "coldly furnishing forth"
unwilling donations, the opportunity
would have passed and the grand mu-
scum, which ia now assured, would
have merely been memory OF a few
far-seeing spirits. The princely gift Of
Mr.. Field was followed by large SUBJ
scriptions from many other public
spirited citizens. and enough money is
now on hand to secure one of the finest,
if not the very finest, museums in the
world.
There is an object lesson in this for
other cities. We need not 60 farther
than to this incident to discover the
true reason for Chicago's wonderful
growth. She was trading post in the
midst of a quagmire when st. Louis was
a great city. She is now, through the
enterprise, liberality and public spirit
of her citizens, the second city on the
continent. She has no superior ad-
vantages of situation over a score OF
lake towns that are still villages. But
she had men of energy, of determine
tion, OF forecast and OF oneness OF pur-
pose. Anything to advance Chicago"
was their motto. and whenever a point
was to be made for their beloved city
they set aside all trivial disputes and
differences and worked unitedly to the
gaining OF that point. In making their
city great center of wealth they made
themselves rich; and as they accumu-
lated vast fortunes they became more
and more eager for the expansion of
their city, and held their wealth SUBJ
lect to its advancement and greatness.
Nearly all of our other great CONNER.
cial centers have grown of their own
volition from the advantage OF their sit.
uation and their necessity to the grow
ing commerce OF the country. Chicago
alone has been made great by the men
who cast their lot in with her destiny,
and achieved her present enviable posi-
tion by their foresight. their energy and
their local patriotism. Thirty years ago
Chicago had infinitely less prospect OF
becoming great commercial center
than Los Angeles has now. She had
none OF the resources or natural advan-
tages for growth and expansion that we
have now. She had, OF course. situa-
tion on the lake of Importance, and was
30 fortunate as to be at point where
railroad systems to all parts OF the coun-
