A Los Angeles Paper.

Oakland Inquirer: In no city in the
land is there more enterprising daily
press than in Los Angeles. Recently
the HERALD printed an illustrated edi-
tion OF 4S pages on fine book paper,
brimfull of valuable information with
respect to that section OF our state. The
first page is ornamented with something
which appears, at first glance, to be q
sea serpent, but it proves upon investi-
CATION to be the substantial and costly
wharf built by the Southern Pacific
company at Santa Monica, stretching
far out into the waters of the ocean. AL
OF the illustrations are of q striking
character, and there is moderation Of
statement in the accounts of what may
be done in fruit culture. in marked con-
trast to the manner Of dealing with that
industry usually followed by special
editions of California papers.

ANOTHER DsLUGR OF GOLD.

When Calf ornia and Australia were
at the same time inundating the world
with gold, the value OF silver went up so
far that the commercial nations were
seriously thinking of lowering the ratio
of the yellow metal, and many believed
that gold would soon become q commo-
dity, whilst silver would become the sole
standard of values. Nor is one aston
ished that such was the caee when one
recalls the enormous volume of gold
those two marvellous countries were
pouring into the treasures of the world.
At that time Mexican minted dollars
commanded premium of from IL to 15
per cent, with an upward tendency.
1t was not till the wonderful Comstock
was discovered, and the wide series OF
silver mines in Eastern Nevada, Idaho,
Utah and Montana began to pour the
white metal into the lap Of commerce
that any check was given to the upward
tendency. These new discoveries, from
1860 to 1870 added 30 much silver to the
worlds stock as to again about estab-
lish the equilibrium between the two
metals. Then came COLORADO, Arizona
and New Mexico into prominence as sil-
yer producers, and the gold.bugs had
chance to turn the tables on silver,
although the great increase Of the white
metal used in the arts held the worlds
stock OF silver and gold at very nearly an
equality.
Ii we are to believe the astounding re-
ports of gold discoveries in South Africa,
the world is to soon see another change
which may place silver again in the
ascendant. A correspondent Of the
Mining World, writing from Kimberley,
states that in the Randi lately there has
been discovery OF the Main Reef series,
of deposits at depth OF from 2300 TO
1000 feet away from the outcrop, which is
simply marvellous. He says:
''This event clearly points to poten-
tiality ofgreatness for the Randi unpar-
alleled in the history of the world. 1t is
not only that on basis of 10 dwte. there
are probably Ell ,Ss7,5Oo (slo5, 1887 ,50O)
worth OF gold on this property, but as
we have 40 miles of it we may figure 1t
it out something like this. The csbicsl
contents will come out at $4,000, 900
cubi meters and the weight at 45S. .00O.-
600 tons. The stuff shows in many
places visible gold, and several assays
have run as high as 10 ounces. Half
the width of the reef will give three
ounces, 30 that one may safely say one
ounce will go over the plates. On this
basis we shall get 81 ,603, ,000, 900 sterling
($8,0l5, 10000 To realize what this
means automatically is impossible, but
to know that it would require 1400 trucks
of carrying capacity of 10 ton, and
that the string of them would extend
five miles, may help the conception"
Now if this report Of the wonderful
deposits of the yellow metal is only
partially true. here is discovery that
will soon more than Offset any pro bable
excess OF silver that can be reached in
the worlds stock, and we may again
hear OF movement to demonetze
gold and establish silver as the sole
money standard of value. The unex-
plored portions of Africa may yet deluge
the world with gold in such quantities
as to completely turn the tables upon
the present estimate OF values OF the
two metals.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The anxiously awaited message Of the
president was transmitted to both
houses OF congress yesterday. No one
is surprised that Mr.. Cleveland has re-
peated in his message, but in more direct
and argumentstive terms than in his
previous utterances, his firm conviction
that the financial troubles of the coun-
try are due to the Sherman purchasing
act, and that the immediate and uncon-
ditional repeal of that act will at once
restors confidence and bring the busi-
ness of the country back to its normal
healthy condition.
Whilst Mr.. Cleveland makes out as
it is possible to make, the friends of
bi-metallism will regre. that he offers or
suggests no proposition by which the
American principle OF recognizing both
metals may be sustained in practice.
He declares unequiyocally that the
United States cannot single-handed re-
store the metals to a parity of value in
the markets of the world. Perhaps that
is true; but we can single-hsnded in
crease the volume of circulation in the
country by utilizing our silver product
as coin, or as the basis of the much
needed augmentation OF our circulation.
There is such thing as accomplishing
the defeat Of an object by unfriendly
action as we'll as by direct opposition;
and we must say that the administra-
tion has done more harm to the princi-
pie Of bi-metallism by its unfriendliness
than it possibly could have accom-
plished by direct hostility.
We do not believe with Mr.. Cleveland
that the Sherman act has brought about
all the ills under which we now suffer.
Gold hes gone from us in great quaint.
ties in the past year by the natural law
of exchanges. The balance of trade, in
spite of all the gauzy claims of the Nc
Kinleyites, has been against US, and that
balance we have had to pay. To ascribe
it all to the purchase of silver under the
Sherman law is clearly error OF the most
glaring kind. The purchase OF A.
100000 ounces of silver every month
COuAO AOb Gu dlbtuIU tu6 UuHl-
ness of this great country as
to bring on universal panic. The
panic has been coming on ever since
congress adopted tariff policy that
lamely aimed at the isolation of the
United States from fair commercial in
tercourse with the family of nations, and
legislated 30 as to build up great monop-
olies in this country by virtually passing
over to them the sovereign power OF
taxation.
II the present congress will repeal the
Sherman act, at the same time making
fair compromise in the interest of sil-
yer, and then modify the tariff go as to
give us free raw materials aud prevent
the existence OF monopolies that are
crushing the producer and consumer,
this country will flourish again as che
has ever flourished under sensible laws.
Notwithstanding the strong plea Mr..
Cleveland makes in his message for the
unconditional repeal of the Sherman
act, we very much doubt whether the
present congress is in mood to do go
unless the repeal carries with it some
measure that will favor silver.

CHICAGO, Aug. 8.-The board OF lady
managers of the worlds fair spent three
hours this afternoon in continuation OF
the undignifed squabble over the Ball.
Meredith affair. Finally Mrs. Isabella
Beecher Hooker came to the front, and
as the result OF her vigorous speech, the
whole matter referring to the warfare
of the past three days was expunged
from the records and q resolution
adopted to prevent its again being
brought up.
A humorous feature OF the day was
the arrival during the height of an ami
mated squsbble, of a delegation of
women from all the foreign villages in
the Midway Plaisance. They had been
invited to visit the woman'e building in
body and attend the meeting Of the
board, that they might see what won
ders their civilized sisters had per-
formed. Their impressions have not
been learned. Mrs. Palmer introduced
them to the board and they were soon
sent on a tour of the building under
escort.
There was no special feature at the
fair today, but tomorrow will be busy
one with the advent OF the Knights OF
Pythias. the dedication of the Virginia
state building and the dedication of the
Walton house by fishermen.

SOCIALIST CONGRESS.

The Matter OF Seating Anarchist Dele
gates Reopenef.
ZURICH, Aug 8.-The international
Socialist congress continued it's session
today. The question as to whether
anarchists and independent socialists
should be permitted to sit as delegates,
which led to disorder yesterday, was
brought up again today, and despite the
action of congress yesterday, the ques.
ton was reopsned. and it was finally
decided to settle it by referring it to the
committee on standing orders. 4 reso-
luton expressing the sympathy OF the
congress with the English coal miners
now on a strike, was passed amid great
cheering. A collection was also taken up.

STAR CHAMBER OFFICIALS.

Secrecy begets suspicion, and euspic-
ion once aroused is the hardest thing in
the world to allay. This is a matter
which is worthy of consideration by
some of our city and county officials
who seem to think that the people,
whose servants they are, have no right
to know every move they make.
What farcical sight, for example.
the police com mission made of itself
yesterday in excluding reporters from
it's consideration of the "eide entrance"
matter. 1t is subject that there is no
possible excuse for considering in secret
unless the commissioners are afraid to
have the people know how they stand.
Why should it be postponed week after
week? Why should the commissioners
be afraid to have their opinions on the
subject reported? Whose business are
they attending to, their own or the peo-
ple's? Secrecy means something to
hide, and fear oftte light of publicity,
and in this case mi,ht mean even
worse
Another example of this distrust of
the public's being informed about its
own business occurred yesterday in the
conference between the supervisors and
the bankers regarding the county money
which was deposited in the City bank.
Here is case where the money OF the
people is at stake, and yet for reasons
which may be surmised, these super.
visors and these financiers locked them
selves in room, held secret session
and refused to make public their pro-
ceedings. This is simple bureaucracy.
These officials are permeated with the
idea that the American people cannot

Gently. Every one has heard Of morphine
eaters and men addicted to the opium habit,
but few persons have ever heard of the
Jamaica ginger habit There is woman in
this city who is d Jamaica ginger fend ,
Other physicians have tried to break her of
her terrible appetite but with no result. The
case has been turned over to me, but no remedy
seems to be able to kill the awful craving that
my patient has for the fiery liquid. l think
that this habit is more terrible even than the
opium habit Several years ago this woman
began taking doses of Jamaica ginger to re
lieve cramps. At first as usual, when ginger
is taken, it was diluted very much with
water. After while the water was lessened,
and an appetite for the stuff was developed
Then she began to drink the ginger undiluted
and now she is an abject slave to the habit
She cannot live without the burning stuff
and threatens to kill herself if it is taken
away from her. OF course the woman is a
wreck. The use of the drug has made her
melancholy. She eats practically nothing
aud her sleep is stupor. This is the only
case of the kind that | ever heard Of and it i,
well for the moral welfare OF the country that

The tousorial fraternity about the town do
not ike cold weather a little bit; when you
see a barber that looks blue, do not ascribe
tso much to the weather as to the state OF
trade According to the proprietor of a Cen
ire street barber shop, the shaving business
falls ohabout fifty per cent in winter months.
If what this same barber says is true, men do
not care whether their faces are clean or dirty
when the weather is cold. In winter, the
man who shaves six times woe', in summer,
will visit his barber two or three times. In
stead of getting his hair cut every month, he
lets it grow long and never thinks of having
it cut at all. Then there are sea f1ams in
Vulnerable and shampoos without end, which
in the winter are not applied to mems heads.
All in ALL the cold months, are months Of rest
