It is stated that in the San Joa- quin valley, California, wheat is go- ing to waste in the fields because the farmers cannot get cash with which to pay for harvesting, And yet there are millions of money locked up in the banks, $5,000,00O in one safe deposit vault in San Francisco, and the money is refused on crop securities. Are not some of the bankers as much to blame as some of the people for the troubles of the times?-Phenix Gazette.

EDITOR HERALD-I am neither a stranger to you, to majority of your readers, nor to your valuble paper, which reaches me regularly. I can assure you that my business is of pressing nature, when can not take time to read at least the local page of THE HERALD, as soon as it is received. And as my inter- esis are in common with you, who are located in that far off sun-kissed land of the free, it is needles to say that word from there is always in season. Many and varied have been the sights of interest that mine eyes have feasted upon, since I left my native land. But for fear that in attempting to describe even the humblest, I might be carried off in fancy, or that my veracity should be brought into question, I simply pass them by.
 We, too, are but just emerging from one of the most severe and prolonged drouths that is known to the proverblal oldest inhabitant. Hay forty-fve to fifty dollars per ton, in the harvest field. Stock has depreciated in value about thirty per cent, in the last three months, and the end is not yet.
 It is an old saying that Johnny Bull is never so happy, as when he is grumbling. Allowing that to be the case, he should be supremely happy now for, indeed, he has some- thing to grumble at, more particu- larly the farmers, and what affects one affects all, in general way.
 Many are the farmers who will go to the wall, unable to withstand the long continued diversity to which their business has been sub- jected.
 We have had calamities following each other in such rapid succession, until one is led to exclaim-what next! In June we had the coal mine horror up in Yorkshire, where in about one hundred and thirty of Britain's hardy sons met a cruel death by strangulation, suffocation and cremation, only to be followed by one of the most shocking fatal ities of modern times-the foun- deriag of the Victoria in the Medi- terranean-wherein about four hun dred and thirty of Her Majesty's subjects found a watery grave hurled as it were into eternity with out moments warHing-and what tends to make the affair more un- bearable, there cannot be any justi- fable reason adduced for the calam- ity, which happened under a clear sky, in midday, while the ships were maneuvering. But the court martial at Malta elicited nothing of importance. The Victoria was one of the largest iron clads in the British navy, costing about three quarters of a million of money. She sunk in fifteen minutes after being struck. Taking down with her all within 200 feet. Creating a vortex from which none within the above distance escaped.
 Immediately following this came the Skegness disaster, where par ty of about thirty pleasure seekers were sunk, only two reaching shore to tell the tale. That I may not be accused of taking a pessimitc view, 1 will simply state that all is not death, dearth nor disaster.
 We are just fairly through with
