THE DAY AND TIE HOUR.

It may be truly said that this day is
big with fate to tho country. Congress
will meet In extraordinary session,
called especially for the purpose OF con-
sidering the financial situation, and
passing such laws as it may consider
necessary for the relief OF the people. 1t
may not, and possibly win not, confine
itself to financial questions, but will
probably take the tariff problem into
serious consideration. The primary
cause of the present widespread busi-
ness disturbance, carrying with 1t the
conditions that have led up 10 the
finacial panic, is the attempt to turn the
country over to the menopolists by the
adoption OF tariff which has been well
termed the abomination of ofabominations.
We have no doubt congress will take
hold of this root of the evil at once, and
relieve the country from a tariff which
has actually placed the sovereign power
of taxation in the hands OF the monopo-
listic corporations.
There will undoubtedly be strenuous
effort to repeal the Sherman law, with
out substituting any measure to sustain
silver in its stead. AS near as we can
Judge from the strong determination
evinced by leading men of both houses,
this effort will be resisted to the death.
To repeal the Sherman act, without pro-
viding any compsnseting silver legisla-
ton, would be suicidal. The country
wants both metals as a basis Of circuis-
ton, and to repeal the Sherman act and
leave the matter there would be in fact
to entirely demonetizs silver and place
US exclusively on a gold basis.' To do
this, especially at time when the coun-
try is sorely in need of money, would be
like as if a man were struggling for life
in the ocean, only held up by plank
under each arm, and somebody should
come along and take away one of these
planks. He would by that act lose half
his chances to float into safety.
There is but one thing congress can do
on this silver subject that will satisfy
the people and rest re the confidence OF
the country. 1t must legislate for the
preservation of silver as one of our
money metals and do whatever it can to
practically establish it's parity with gold.
To do this our representatives must en-
tirely divest their minds OF any consid.
Grafton of the policy of Great Britain on
the subject of the white metal. We
want to be a law unto ourselves in rela-
tion to our silver policy, and the sooner
we cut loose from Lombard street and
establish an American system, the
sooner will we be emsncipated from the
evil power which English gold bugs
have exercised over our finances.

owner and regulator Of one or more
great trunk railroads transverse
ing the country on cardinal
lines. The government would
furnish the road beds, keep them in safe
repair, regulate aud control the time
tables, and grant wheslsge over them to
all companies, private or public, wish
ine to use them. If the Union Pacific
falls into the hands of the governments
and the wheelage theory were to be put
in practice, congress would doubtless
make the line complete and continuous
by also taking the Central Pacific road
into the scheme. With wheelage, open
to all roads and all companies owning
rolling stock, across the entire conti-
nent, we might put to fair practical
test, in in its most important part. the
leading theory OF the Populists about
the government ownership of railroads.
The wheslage Of a great trunk railroad
could be superintended and carried on
by the war department, by adopting the
ouasi-fiction that the government was
performing one Of its constitutional
functions In providing the country with
military and postal roads. But the
other extreme, of the government ope-
rating great railroads in all their
branches and all their multifarious ram
ifications, would lead to q system OF
political patronage of prodigious extent,
and become a source Of dangerous de.
moralization and corruption that wou Id
lead to the most alarming consequences.

HAS HR DONE HIS FULL DUTYa

Attorney General Hart has called
down on himself the severe criticism of
the press and the public by his ques-
tionable acts on several occasions. He
seems, however, to be a man wrapped
up in himself and callous to censure,
whether just or unjust. When it was
accidentally discovered by the state con-
troller's Office that he had received some
$4,000 on judgments in favor OF the
state in suits brought by him for the
harbor commissioners, and that he had
not offered to cover that money into
the treasury for nearly two years, he
was investigated by the legislature with
very unsatisfactory results. His lame
reason was that he was in doubt as to
which OF the state funds 1t ought to be
credited to, and taking the benefit of
the doubt he held on to the money him
SELF
The revelations made by the examin-
alton into the affairs OF the Pacific bank
will again bring up the question wheth-
er he is a conscientious and efficient
oificer or not, aud we are very much dis
posed to adopt the views which the
Oakland Enquirer has come to as to the
correctness or defensibility OF his con-
duck-as state official with reference to
this rotton financial institution.
In December, 1891, the bank commits
sioners notified the attorney general
that the bank was doing business by
unsafe methods, in order that the attor-
ney general might used the powers
vested in his Office to force the bank to
square itself or 60 out of business. He
did nothing of the sort, and year after
ward the commissioners again notified
Attorney General Hart that the bank
was "unsafe." 1t was his duty, if he
found it insolvent, to wind up this bank,
but he let matters take thelr course, and
the institution ran along six months
more, waiting Tor such disaster as the
recent loss of confidence to precipitate II
into acknowledged insolvency. When
the inevitable shake came the acihc
bank fell down just as naturally as
cracked and shattered shell OF building
collapses when the first earthquake comes
When the bank failed an exposure was
made of its liabilities and assets, and

General Hart. He owed the bank SIS,
600.
Had this debt been the reason why h'
did not proceed against the bank? Waf
be blinded to his duty by self'interest
Was the $2S, 600 the price Of his silence
and inaction? The attorney general,
course, answers mo" to these questions
and states that he took no action agains
the bank because he did not consider i
insolvent. But even If we assume tina
he is telling the strict truth m sayin
, this, the situation is bad one. Th

THAT County Horticultural Officer
John Scott lie an honest and capable Off
Ger is the testimony of those who know
him. but it ia evident that he should
give more attention to making his re-
cords complete and plain in all details.
The county officials state that he is in
the habit of turning lump sums into the
treasury without specifications as to
how or from whom they were collected,
and the clerk of the board of supervisors
states that the commissioner has not
filed monthly reports as required by
statute. This may be all right ior a
man OF Mr.. Scott's widely acknowledged
high character, but it is none the less to
be severely critized. Such methods es-
Iablish bad precedents, and might be
adopted by men of less reputation for
integrity with ulterior motives.

planted with corn in many parts OF
the country, ana it Is throwing money
away not to manure it properly. Some
large corn crops are gathered from
fields that have naturally ricn soils,
and where little manure is applied
But they are exceptions, and that
state Of affairs will not continue long.
No amount Of cultivation can make
up for the lack Of manure. 1t may
be that there is great deal of ma
mural substance in the soil which
thorough cultivation will bring into
an available condition, but if no other
is put en- the cultivation another sea-
son will be fruitless. Manure thor
oughly and we'll, and the crop will be
large, and the fertility of the soil will
remain. Timely cultivation is more
essential than a haphazard cultivator
dragged along through the whole sea-
son. The soil is first thoroughly pre-
pared and mellowed, and then cultiva-
tion must begin within few weeks
after the corn is planted. 1t should
then be repeated about every two
weeks until the corn is too high for
this work. Early cultivation makes
the stalks grow, and late cultivation
makes good ears and firm grains form.
One is as essential as the other.

improvement, which consists in nail
ing to the top of the table triangu-

wide on each face. They should be
planed and firmly nailed crosswise of
the table four inches apart. AS the
common milk pan is about ten inches
wide at the bottom, there will be no
danger of the pans fitting up when
set down carelessly. The whole
should be painted whitish tint, and
all crevices thoroughly filled with
paint. The top Of the table should
be of matched lumber and closely fit
ted. This plan admits OF a circula-
t1on of air all about the pan, and the
contents are cooled at least two hours
