THE HERALDS NEWS SERVICE.

OF late considerable has been said by
outside papers complimentary to the en-
terpriss of THE HERALD and the thor
oughness with which the news OF the
day. both local and telegraphic, is COW
cred. In this connection it may not be
out of place for THE HERALD to tell its
readers something about the complete
ness OF its leased wire telegraphic
service. The report of events res
ceived each day by The HERALD
embraces upwards OF 10000 words, or
about 20 columns, of telegraphic matter.
The report comes from all quarters OF
the habitAhle globe. Nothing that can
possibly interest one OF Los Angeles, or
Southern Californis's citizens, is omit
ted. THE HERALD will continue to
pursue the policy OF giving not only
news. but all the news, and ii readers
do not see it in THE HERALD it didn't

A BARONE1"S MISSION.

Il is not at all strange that the mis-
sion of Sir Charles Rivers Wilson to
this country has been unattended by
success. Sir Charles represents the
British capitalists upon whom @. P.
Huntington unloaded 62 per cent of the
stock of the deoaying Central Pacific
railroad, without relinquishing control
of the line.
Sir Charles clients heard something
drop shortly after the deal was made
dividends ceased and phantoms OF as
sessmeuts haunted them. The stock.
holders were desirous to know the why
and wherefore. and 80 Sir Charles set
out from London to see the railroad
magnates and find out all about it.
He saw the railroad people, but SO far
from finding out all about it, he con.
fesses that his trip was failure. The
visitor had royal time, though. He
was wined and dined and speeded about
the country in special cars as the guest
of the Southern Pacific company Of
Kentucky. But as to why his clients
get no more dividends and the cause oil
the stump in Central Pacific stock, are
as the hierogly phica on the Egyptian
needle to the visitor. When commis-
sions with power to administer oaths
and summon witnesses fail to get ct
the inside workings OF Huntington q
cinch corporations it is not to be
wondered at that Sir Charles Rivers
Wilson should fail.

ago. William Haring lost both his legs.
He was engaged at that time to marry
the young widow Parsells. and. In view
OF the loss Of his legs, and the sudden
change in his plans, the company was
induced to give him $4,000. In the
course Of time Haring secured q pair OF
artificial legs and soon learned to get
around with tolsrabls facility. The fret
use he made of his new legs was to hunt
up the young widow aud prosecute his
interrupted suis. She smiled on the
wooden legs and the dollars and last

THE question OF the expense OF iunsr-

REMOTE THE CA USE.

The present monetary situation in
this country ought to teach all classes
of our people, even including the Popa.
lists, the necessity of retiring all our
government demand paper. 1t may
seem all very fine TO the thoughtless,
and to those who do not see beyond
their noses, for t'ne government to 20
largely into the banking business on its
own account. But such short.siEhted
persona should remember that banking,
whether carried on by individuals. cor.
porations, etstes or nations, has its in
exorable responsibilities and drawbacks,
as we'll Az its advantages.
The United States government now
has oot $500. 100000 paper. payable on
demsnd, and this vast sum can be ueed
indefinitely, under any administration.
to- milk the treasury" Of its specie.
The condition of the great and powerful
government of this or any other ooun-
try is no whit different in this respect
from that of solvent banker or mer-
chant who has any considerable amount
CT promises to pay on demand; he soon
learns that he must get them out OF the
way, by paying them off or by convert.
ing them into time paper. payable at
come definite future date with interest !;
otherwise they are, in good shines, Liable,
and in bad times, when he is least pre-
pared, absolutely certain to come home
to him unopportunely.
The present administration is in no.
wise responsible for the existence of the
greenbacka or of the Sherman silver
notes, but is charged by the most sacred
obligation to keep a working fund OF
specie in the treasury TO meet all cur.
rent expenses Of the governmsnt-in-
Guiding the redemption, to whatever
extent demanded. OF half a billion dol.
lars of greenbacks and Sherman notes.
This task. as the administration by
actual experience has learned, and as
all should be willing to concsde, would
be greatly simplifed if this mountain Of
demand promises to pay were out of the
way. So long es these promises in
large volume are outstanding, just SO
long will it be possible to use them over
and over again to draw speoie from the
peoples treasury-ior it is theirs, and
not President Cleveland's or any other
one mans treasury-and this colossal
and anomalous obstacle to the proper
administration OF the functions OF the
national treasury will continue to con-
front whatever political party may be
charged with this high duty, in times OF
universal depression such as now exist,
until such obstacle is removed.
1t is vastly easy for the Rspu blican
opposition in congress to carp and find
fault with the administration because OF
inherent difficulties which surround the
treasury, but for which this present ad-
ministration is not responsible. 1t
would be much more to their credit ii
they would pstriotically unite with
Democrats in such legislation as will
place our monetary system on scientific
basis, where now it is not. It would
not then be possible for an unHcrupulous
combination of capitalists to wreck, if
they chose, the treasury OF one of the
richest and mcst powerful nations on
the face OF the globe.

The Reflective woman Of the Kansas
City Star wants to know why women pre-.

waiting for car? Why do they always

The Los Angelei HERALD pertinently re-
marks that "there is flavor of sa' donic humor
in the proposition to pension the superannu-
ated school teachers, while John C. Pelton, the
founder OF the public school system in Cali
fornia, is denied place to lay his head or food
to keep him from starving, save as charity filings
aims to beggar. Even the teachers who are
asking to be pensioned on the states bounty
have, in some places, turned deaf ear to this
old mans piteous cry. Can they blame the
people who are now supporting them for cold
Indifference to their demand for this gratu-
ity?" All that John C. Pelton asks is that the
state of California, through its legislature,
recompense him for the actual outlay OF
money from his own pocket used in introduc-
ing the public school system in this state
"only this, and nothing more;" and, with this
money, some $4,000 or $4,000, he could make

eral turkeys were roosting, in front Of Ralph
Clendenins farm mansion. The exhaust steam
from the stack was so strong that II knocked
a large turkey hen from her perch In falling
she alighted on the bell rope and rang the
bel, Engineer Spear stopping the train. Con
ductor Gorsuch went forward to see why the
train had been stopped, and discovered the
turkey on the platform fitting in her peculiar
style and breaking the silence with her call.
The train crew lowled at the ludicrousness OF
the situation as the conductor tos ed the
bewildered bird off and watched her run
ming to the roosting tree.
