UNDOUBTEDLY the best way to secure

these bonds will bear 8 per cent per

MUM on these bonds will reach higher
than the limit set by the secretary of
the treasury. The HERALD believes
that the emergency in the fiscal de-
partment of the government can be
got over without increasing the public
debt. The true way to relieve the tress-
iry is through the reform of the tariff.
A tariff for revenue and revision Of the
internal revenue imposts would soon
place the treasury in funds. This is the
legitimate way to meet the deficit. The
proposition to increase the national
debt by SOC. 900. 900 is to be deprecated
on all accounts. The gold will soon be
drawn from the treasury, and then we
will be in as bad q fix ss ever. Wall
street alone will be benefited by the

A yITIArgD TASTE.

The amount of free advertising the
Corbett-M Mitchell prize fight has extorted
from the Associated Press and newsps-
psrs of the United States passes all
comprehension-tha is to say, all res-
sonable limits. Dilettante people blame
the press for the publicity which is &C.
corded these blackguards. AS matter
of fact there is not one editor out of
twenty that would not gladly suppress
these voluminous dispatches that inn
pinge on his space and violate his sense
of the proprieties. Why does he not do
it, then? For the simple reason that
his readers demand this stuff and will on
no account be put off with anything less
vulgar aud sensational. Just there you
have the secret Of much OF the proatitu-
ton OF the prees. The higher the moral
standard established by newspaper
the smaller will be its circulation. nine
times out OF ten. This is q lamentable
fact, but it is fact, and it should be
taken into the count by those who de-
sire to understand certain tendencies of
the press. 1t is not pleasing to know
that the contests of brutal prize-fghters
excite more interest than the most trans.
cendentsl flights Of orators or the specu-
lations OF philosophers or the demon
STATIONS of scientists, but it is true all
the same. 1t is the latest phase
OF the evolution OF the American

HARDLY day passes in which one or
more railroad robberies are not re-
ported. Two came to hand yesterday.
1t is somewhat remarkable that, &C.
cording to the reports OF road officials
and express agents, the railroad raiders
rarely manage to get away with more
than a tri6ing sum. If these reports
were true, one would think that the
number of railroad stand-ups would
diminish, as it does not pay road agents
to take the risk OF stopping a train for
a few paltry dollars. We suspect, how
ever, that whenever they get into the
express safe, as they generally do, they
carry away a large amount of swsg with
them.

MIDwINTER FAIR NOTES.

Installation of the Heavy Machinery
Progressing Rapidly.
SAN Francisco, Jan. 1S.-The installa-
ton of the heavy machinery of the mid
winter exposition is progressing rapidly.
1t is expected the first steam will be
turned on Sunday next, and the plan for
lighting the central plaza with electric
ity on dedication day can therefore be
carried out.
The preparation for opening the
Northern California citrus fair has been
practically completed, and everything
will go off according to programme at 2
O'Clock Saturday afternoon.
Special Communication tickets for the
exposition. consisting of books contain
100 admissions, are now ready for de-

The subcommittee of the judiciary
committee OF the house has ordered q
report denying the power of the secre-
tary of the treasury to cell $50, 000,0 900
of bonds under the redemption act.
That law was passed in order to enable
the country to return to specie pay
ments. Resumption took place, and
now, after fifteen years, it is proposed
to revive the law for the purpose of
bolstering up the treasury. The re-
sumption law did its complete and per-
feet work when specie payments were
successfully resumed. Having per-
formed the special purpose for which it
WAS enacted it naturally lapsed. If this
idea becomes general, the bids on the
bonds will be apt to give our credit the
worst black eye it ever received.

President Cleveland delivered his tariff
