Washington dispatch, Globe-Democrat:
The president has authorized the admin.
istratiOn leaders TO declare that he will
not approve a bill for the free coinage OF
silver. no matter what the ratio. lie has
announced his In the positive and u1.
qualified language Characteristic Of him.
He will not sign bill for A ratio Of

This announcement. made today In au
authoritative manner, braces the uncon-

timid and waysring the hope they have
been entertaining that some KIND o.
compromise might be fixed upon which
they could strlddle and hope to retain
the good wall Of their differing constitu-
EMS. The wolild-be ctraddlers are not
few in numbers. In their hearts they
have been hugging the delusion of
possible middle ground, They have been
shouting as loudly as anybody that the
have been shaking their heads dolefully
and doubling if repeal were possible
without some kind Of a free coinage sub
stitute. They have been saying that Mr.
Cleveland would never veto a bill which
passed both houses. And on this belief
they have been talking more and more
confidently about 20 10 l amendment
to the repeal. To these the blunt ulti-
inainm of the president Is a paralyzer.

of thessprinoipal Protestant chiefs in the lcoun-

wish for the abolition of domestic slavery
the slavetrade is already abolished. The
Bishor was asked by some Protestant natives
if they ought to surrender certain runaway
slaves to the Mahommedans. He replied
Yes, if it is the law but that if they thought
the law had. they should get it altered. VI

therefore if the Roman Catholics will only
agree, slavery will cease in Uganda. The
Bishop has, no doubt. a right to be proud of

points out, however, that if We retire, slavery

certain that we shall have an easy and
liberal money market, and it requires
no explanation to show what that means
to the prosperity of this city and OF the
whole state. We shall not have money
to throw to the Birds" as one enthus-
EAST puts it, but there will be ample
funds to be had on adequate security
and at fair rates of interest for the
legitimate development of the whole
state.
A precisely similar state Of things ex-
lists in Los Angeles. Our savings banks
have given notice that all who desire to
do so can get their money, although the
law allows the bsnks to keep it in their
vaults until the first of January. The
facts of the financial situation are we'll
understood in this city. The depositor,
knowing that he can get his money, as
usual does not want 1t, preferring to
leave it in place OF safety, where he
can make something out of it. In Los
Angeles as in San Francisco, after the
publication Of the January bank state
ments showing how impregnsble our
institutions are, more liberal policy
will characterize our banks. This is the
more probable because the large disburse-
ments involved in paying our taxes will
have been made.
The financial history OF Los Angeles
during the last twenty years has been
quite unique. During that period we
have had but two bank failures, that of
Temple & Workman, in 1875, and the
City bank, in the recent panic. Both
were unexampled instances OF misman-
agement. The former followed upon the
heels of the failure of the bank of Cali
fornia in 1875, and the latter was a new
bank which was run in violation of all
the canons Of banking. These have
been the only instances of the failure of
bank in the history OF our young city.
The first of January statements OF the
banks all over California will be looked
forward to with great interest, and there
is every reason to believe that they will
make the best showing in the history
of the state, and that their splendid ex-
hibit will be followed by an era of great
progress and prosperity.

its greatest abuse is illustrated by the
fact that Mr.. William Waldorf Astor is
drawing rents Of some $4,000. 900 Q year
from property in the city of New York
which he is spending in England.
Abuses OF this kind ought to be met
by sweeping and unsparing law. An.
other great evil is growing up in the
United States. Immense holdings Of
realty are passing into the hands of for
eigners. In order to discourage the
passing of millions of acres into foreign
ownership for purposes OF pure specula.
tion, to be held frequently to the detri-
ment of region in population and
wealth, an income tax might very prop
erly come into play in such cases.
We are inclined to think that these
are the only instances in which an
American sentiment would justify any
thing approaching to an income tax.

ATHLETIC CLUB FIELD DAY.

A New Chinamsn In the One Mile
Race.
There is now a new Richmond in the
field for the mile Chinese bicycle race of
next Thursday. He was brought into
notoriety by Fay Stephenson and is now
termed Fay's unknown. His name is
Wong Ngui and he halls from River
side.
Last Saturday Wong went into q
bicycle agency and asked them to lend
him q wheel, as he wanted to ride in
Thursdays race. The agent would not
take the chances of breakage,
so told Wong that he could
not accommodate him. Wong
then plsnked down the necessary
money and bought the machine. He
left orders that it be shipped to River
side at once, as he wanted to start into
training. He further ordered bent han
die bars and toe clipped racing pedals
sent with it, as he wanted to make good
time.
A noted rider is now here in the person
of E. UTRECHT OF Chicago. He rode Sec
ond to Meintzes, the great South
African, in his 100.mile race. Ulbrecht
has gone into steady training for the COM
ing races. but he has not yet decided in
which he will compete. He ia better
on long distance track riding and road
riding than in short races, but is likely
to make the local people ride. But two
more days intervene before Thanksgiv-
ing is here, and with it the Athletic
clubs fall field day. The indications
point to big success in every respect.
There will be large delegations in from
the outside towns to witness the splen-

Work on the Interior Fittings Rapidly

Work hss been rapidly progressing during
the past week on the interior fittings of the
handsome jewelry establishment of M. German,
on South Spring street. between Third and
Fourth, to which reference has already been
made in these columns. The artistic counters,
showcases and furnishings are In place, with a
large stock of valuable goods, including some
tasteful ngragings. elegantly framed. 1t is
evident, from what may be seen already, that
this is destined to be one OF the show places OF
Los Angeles.
Mr.. German has exercised good judgment In
the selection of a location for his business. 1t
is convenient of access to the best residence
section OF the city. and just little south of the
business center, which is moving steadily in
this direction, from day to day
1t should be understood by the public that
this is something more than an ordinary jewelry
store. AS already stated, over thirty persons
will be employed. Besides the most extensive
ana complete stock of first class jewelry 10 be
found on the Pacific Coast outside OF San
Francisco, there will be a department of man
ufacturing jewelry to order; an optical depart.
ment, under charge OF a capable and ex-
perienced opticisn, who Will fit eyes free of
charges; watch repairing department, and a
complete line Of artistic society stationery, in
cluding copper-plate engraving of wedding
and invitation cards. Monograms and ad-
dresses will be engraved without extra charge
to those who buy stationery.
