Mr.. DENBY's letter to the state de-
partment at Washington on the silver
question in China, throws some curious
light upon the white metal. He is
charge d. sffaires at Peking and writes
that, Notwithstanding the fall of silver
as compared with gold, its purchasing &
power is still undiminished. In conse-
quence of this discrimination, he writes,
he Chinese buyers steadily increased
their purchases in Oriental markets.
where silver has retained its former
value. This has led up to proportion.
ate decrease OF purchases in America and
England, where exchange is against
them. Particularly is this noticeable in
the matter OF cotton. The financiers in
the celestial empire have already caught
on to the proposition that Chinese labor
paid in silver, can turn out cotton cloths
in their own country at prices that must
eventually exclude the products oi
America and England or any other coun-
tries that pay high wages and pay them
in gold currency. 1t begins to Look as if
John Chinaman did not care rap for
the exclusion acts of our congress. He
can stay at home in his own country,
work for 10 cents day, eat fried rats for
supper and then make things quite
sultry for us.

IT SEEMS to be pretty clearly estsb-
liehed that Worden, the Sacramento
sgitstor, was the author OF the dastardly
train wrecking near that city. He should
certainly be made q public example.
Why not take him and the .febrils editor
of the Los Angeles Times, handcuff
them together and carry them around
the state as pitiful examples of the two
wickedest men? After he had had time
to cool down, it might be good policy to
release Otis; while most people would
think that, after having spent a month
or two in that persons company, Wor.
den might be let off with imprisonment
for life. At all events, if it were at last
thought necessary to hang Worden. that
miscreant would have the consolation
that there were worse things than hang.

1T is A SUCCESS.
THE NEW FLUME ON THE EAST
SIDE.
1t Cost $3.50 and IL Now 1arnIng SIC .
Day for tho City-A Long Exist
ing Nuisance That Has
Besn Abolished.

The now fume built by the zaujero on
the East Side, regarding which much
ado WAS recently raised in the council,
was completed yesterday.
The new waterway 10 1000 feet long,
and extends from point north OF the
Macy street bridge to the line Of Bridge
street. where it empties into ditch No.
Z OF the city water system. The flow is
12 inches deep and "a inches wide, and
at the present time it is running 200
inches of water every "a hours, giving
an additional revenue to the city of $l6
per day. The total cost of the structure
was S249 go, so that in trif1e over two
weeks time it will have paid for itself,
and from that time forward 1t will add
SIG day to the receipts of the city.
The most important feature about the
new fume, however, is not its money
making qualities. The water which it
carries is taken from the Arroyo Los
Posas. This water originally comes
from reservoir No. s, on the East Side.
whence it is conveyed to the East Los
Angeles park, and then is turned into
the arroyo to 20 to waste. Some dis.
tance above the Macy street bridge .
dam has been constructed WITH WooQ.
en- bulkhesd. and the water is then
turned into the new fume, and Water
Uver6eer Dllderaiu uuus mat tnis teak'
age water, which has heretofore been
wasted, amounts to 200 inches . day.
The s,oppage of this flow of water will
be good news to the people living on tho
east side of the river, more especially
in the flats that lie between that charm
ing residence section and the river bed,
for the reason that tbs chain OF stag
nant pools which have been disease
breeders in that section will now dry up
from lack OF moisture.
With the increased amount of water
added to ditch No. the water overseer
is now enabled to supply 1000 inches Of
water each day, a. against the paltry
five per day which was formerly turned
in from that source some years ago.

IL IT will cost, as the civil engineer
entrusted with the Fresno canal survey
reports, only $140. 900 to build a navigs-
BILE ditch from Fresno to the sea, the

ing that it takes seven days for cargo

WHOLESALE RAILWAY ROBBERS.

It will be seen, by an article hom the
New York World, which We transfer
from tho columns OF that metropolitan
journal to our own, that the sum OF
seven million dollars mas been trans
ferred from tho vaults of the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe to the pockets OF
certain enterprising gentlemen who
were entrusted with the adjustment of
its affairs since 1889. This would mean
an elegant defslcstion of one and three
quarters of q million dollars a year up
to and inclusive of the year 1898. when
the last period of sdjustme Mt was noted.
Dividing this large sum OF yearly defal.
cation by almost any divisor and it
would give q pretty large crowd of gen.
tlemenly loafers tremendous usufruct.
Think OF it for a moment, men and
brethren 1t is not necessary to be-
stow all our time in cussing members OF
the A. r. u, however great their mis-
takes or their occasional crimes, when
We find in the details of the manage
ment of one railway corporation evil
dences Of such Lambro-like spoliations.
The fact is that, as the HERALD has
repeatedly suggested, the thing, above
all things, needed in the United States
today, is q little honesty in the admins
tration of fducisry trusts. Common
honesty is what 10 needed, not some.
thing superfne, fanci:ul and senti-
mental.
Why should the action Of the pnblic
be focused in denunciatory mood
against few misguided American Rail-
way union people when persons who
ought to know better. and who ought
to be above common thievery, have
been so long allowed to 60 scot free?
1t will puzzle even a malignant cap
italist or guldbug to snswer plain,
square question like that.

HARPRR's WEEKLY AND THE COVER
NOR.

Even the worm when trodden upon
will turn, and Governor Markham has
been heard from in response to the alle-
CATION that he had proved himself to be
something between q Populist and q
Socialist during the late commotions in
this state anent the railway troubles.
Our gracious governor announces that
be has never answered q newspaper
attack. This action of his, in view OF
his "Old Pard" letter, shows that what
soever else the governor may have over
looked, he has not forgotten the moni-
tion of Christ in Matthew, which runs
"be ye as innocent as doves and as wis 9
as serpents.' Even sn accomplished
dentist would have fail ed to extort from
the governor any admission of the
authorship of that letter through teeth
closely clenche6. His reticence in that
regard is seen to be extreme wisdom in
view Of the fact that the supreme court
of California has given judgment in
the sum of $1,000 for Russell J.
Wilson. late chairman OF the
Democratic state convention, in
proof OF the undoubted authenticity
of that letter, which had been chal-
lenged in that regard by the Republican
state central committee. No doubt
when, upon the top of this Judgment,
Harper's Weekly. so.called journal OF
civilization, produced our smug governor
in q cartoon as fomentor of anarchy,
and q consorter with anarchists like
Governors Pennoyer, Waite and Altgeld,
the gubernatorial cup OF grief welled
over. This was rather severe. The only
thing looking towards inculpation of our
debonair governor that any California
newspaper dared to hazard was that,
having in mind either the perils attach
ing to state of arms, with accompany
ing explosives OF saltpetre. or the
destructive character of the climate of
s Sacramento. he was remarkably con-
servative in his movements towards the
state capital. II the HERALD 10 not
mistaken this journal was obliged to
intimate to him, in his Pasadena para
disc. that we still enjoyed ocean COM
munication with Sacramento.

Panama Star and Herald: Among
our press dispatches received yesterday
there is one from Paris relating to canal
matters, dated June 2Sth, which we pub
lish today in our cable column. 1t con-
firms the news received in this city dur
ing the past two days. but with an addi.
tion that n.ust cause agreeable surprise.
The new company with which the agree.
ment has been made has not 10000. 900
francs, but l,500, 900, 900 francs, or $780,
100000. We believe that e40 1000, 900 of
this amount is from tho assets of tho old
company. The possession Of such sum
OF money practically removes one OF the
chief barriers that stood in the way OF
the resuecitation of the canal works.
The next important matter, and to wit
the finishing teach, 10 for the Court OF
Seine to give it's sanction to the agree
ment that has been contracted by the
liquidator. At present We refrain from
any lengthy comments on this most i'm
