A DlsPfRIrING RESUME.

The HERALD is no pessimist. On the
contrary, we are cheerful from the
crown OF our head to the heel of our
shoes. But we are compelled to recog-
nize the force of figures, and here are
some which are taken from the weekly
summary of Ciapp & Co.:
The United States treasury loss of
cash last year was about $34 100000 for
last half and s6.00O,OO0 for first half.
Receipts from all sources, $l55, 900, 900,

dared to recognize the signs OF the times
he was called calamity shrieker."
The seeds of the present hard times were
so distinctly sown in the Mckinley bill
that no man of sense could fail to dis.
Germ them. What the United States
started out to do in that bill was to
"hog" everything. Mckinley and his
associates never seemed to think that
there was any power of reprisal on the
part of foreign nations, and that his
wholesale policy of non-intercourse
would make Europe send over our bonds
for ourselves to keep. and buy from vi
in turn as little as possible.
The remedies for the hard times clear.
| ly lie in the reconciliation of silver and
the immediate reformation and revision
/ of the tariff.

Mr.. GEORGE E. PRATT, secretary of
the state board of examiners, hes un-
earthed a sensation which may have far
reaching effects upon one branch OF the
charitable provisions OF this state.
Judsr law which authorizes the state
vi contribute certain amount of money
per year towards the support of aged
and INDECENT persons in asylums and
homes, providing they do not pay over
$l5 per month themselves for their own
maintenance. the Old Peoples home in
San Francisco has been drawing the
states portion for quite number of
people who could in no wise be consid-
cred pan ters. One OF the inmates who
entered the home in 1889 paid into it
$2500 Tor his maintenance, notwithstand-
ing which the officers of the home have
been drawing from the state treasury the
regular pauper sllowaEee in his name

go as to just bring his case under the
$l5 per month limit, where the law
draws the line between those entitled to
aid and those who are not. This is OF
course miserable evasion. This whole
system OF state aid wants to be severely
overbauled. The exposure just made
in the case of the Old Peoples Home in
San Francisco shows that the public
treasury lie being Systematically and out
rageously robbed in the name of charity.

THERE is something remarkably sug-
gestive in the fact that the house for
sign affairs committee has unanimously
reported Boutelle's resolution of inquiry
into Hawaiian affairs. 1t is true that
the resolution OF Democrat on the
same subject was reported, but tine
significant circumstance is that Demo-
cratic committee should let Repub-
LEANS resolution go through at all. 1t
shows conclusively that the Democratic
house is not in unison with the Demo-
cratic president on this point.

SOCIETY.

On Friday, January 10Th, the Athletic
club will tender reception to its mem
bers and their gentleman friends. While
the club has been in its new quarters for
about month, the affair will be in the
nature of an opening of the rooms
after their receiving thorough renova-
tion from the recent fire in the Stowell
block.
An excellent programme will be given
consisting OF music and athletic exhibit
tions, and to conclude with 10-round
contest between Martin Murphy, the
well-known boxing instructor, and an
other boxer, who has not yet been Sc
lected.

Now that the new year has come, and we are
well started on 1894, social circles are wa ring
up, and all are looking TO ward to merry tim es
in the near future. ENGAGEMENTS and rumors
OF engagements are on everyo res tongue, and
the pros Hnd cons OF each match are argued
and discussed from brea Sfast tune until the
lights are turned out at night. Soon the pc
riod of consum nation of these engagements
will arrive, and then the marriage bells will
merrily resOund Throughout the city. But be-
fore that time comes the term OF prepRrato on
lily, are III the throes of planning, desig atr &
aud making ready fOr the great event. Then
is the period of responsibility for the bride s

ing the greatest day OF her life pass of smooth

for thera are multitude of things to be
which would be prone to result disastrously.
Not the least of these many things is the pre-
pairing of the invitations and cards.
Invitations, aud especially those for we'd
ding, are governed by d lex non scr pta"
when is as unalterable as the laws OF the
Medes and Perglans. Adherence to the proper
form stamps the sender as pzrtOn OF social
culture while the slightest slip Is certain TO be
commented upon, and il almost as coed as a
passport to social ostraoism. therefore the
greatest care should be exercised in this direc-
ton.
There are so many points to be considered
and remembered in this connection that the
limits of a newspaper article hardly Afford suf-
ficient scope. The only practical SUI gesaon
which can be made is to consult some one ex-
perlenceu IN sucn m &llefs ana whose tasCe ls

WANTS FURTHER ADVICE.

Today ia the Day for Tearing Up Un-
used street-cAr Tracks.
Today is the limit set by the council
for the tearing up by the street super
intendent of all unused street-car tracks
in the city.
A HERALD reporter asked Mr.. Watson
yesterday afternoon what action he
would take.
He replied that he wanted first to
hear from the city attorney. There are
tracks which can be torn up as they are
not used at all.
But there are other tracks upon which
the companies are still running one or
two cars day to hold their franchises.
Mr.. Watson said as there might be
trouble about these tracks be wanted to
take advice before proceeding to execute
the directions of the council.

THE ARID LANDS AS CURE FOR Pow
ERTY.

The hunger and general misery re-
sulting from such conditions as prevail
over the whole United States at present
are not the only evils resulting from
these conditions. There are other
effects that will be more enduring. and
perhaps even more to be deplored.
Men who are connected with enter
prises of any kind, 80 as to make it sp-
pear that they may have the power to
give, or influence to procure employ
ment are every day meeting with men
driven almost 70 desperation. Under
ordinary conditions most of these men
are self-respecting and industrious
mechanics, or workers in industrial
pursuits of different kinds. They are
the very bone and sinew OF the country,
the men whose toll creates the wealth
Of the nation. whose votes determine
the fate of parties, and in the end make
the laws and determine the policy of
the government. Now poverty is de-
stroying the independent spirit and self
respect of tens of thousands of these
men.
1t is easy enough, and very natural,
for the man with fair round belly with
good capon lined" to look upon hungry
Esau with great contempt; "he jests at
scars who never felt wound" But
''before We gle poor frailty names, sup
pose change o. cases."
The man who sees starvation threaten
wife and children will not be over nice
how he may solicit means for earning
food and shelter for those so dear to
him. And, in all probability, just in
proportion to the intensity of his love
for wife and children will be the sacri-
fee of his spirit of independence.
tits more than painful, it is humiliat.
ing, to see brave, strong man cringing
as they beg a brother of the earth to
! give them leave to toll. 1t is not alone
4 in Denmark that something is rotten,
but wherever such conditions exist as
breaks the free spirits of men. The
crushing out OF manly dignity by grind
| ing poverty. the abasement and fawl.
ing produced by it, will leave blots upon
their minds and characters that will be
as indelible az the blood of Duncan on
/ the hands of Macbeth. Here, however,
it is not che producers. but the victims
OF the conditions, whose sleep is mur-
dered.
Aside from ths pain it must cause to
every man with any tenderness OF heart.
! when he sees the widespread misery
that now exists, every citizen who loves
his country must deplore the debasi ne
effects upon the characters of his fellow.
citizens, because he knows that this
will react injuriously upon the nation.
Nothing is more favorable to creating
and maintaining manly and iadepend
ent spirit than posse sion.

MR.. +. B. DAWES.
His Cool Attempt to Deceive His Hearers bg
Deliberate FalsehOOd.

men VINO make any prebens9 70 lnGel-
ligence to be travelling about the
country and seeking election to an
important Office by deliberate at
tempts to deceive his hearers re-.
speCting the questions upon which
he chooses to speak. It is espe-
clRlly foolish to do this in matters of
record, where the records are sure to
be produced to give the lie to what
ever such a speaker may say; and
yet this is precisely what Mr.. Dawes,
the republican candidate for sttor-
ney general, is doing. There are
two points upon which he is placing
especial emphasis in his speeches, if
their import is correctly reported to
us. The one is that the exception
which excluded the old greenback
from payment of duties on imports
and interest on the public debt, was
favored in the house Of representa-
tives by Thsd Stevens; and the other
is the terrors Of anarchy to which the
country is exposed from possibility
of success of the Peoples party. AS
this cry OF anarchy has lost it terrors
through the exercise Of the good
common sense Of the people, we
shall waste no words upon that sub
ject. The other subject, however, is
one respecting which the people
must have the facts to enable them
to Judge Of the deception thus coolly
attempted to be practiCed upon them.
Mr.. Dawes presumes too much upon
the ignorance of his hearers.
1t was through the jugglery that
was practiced upon the legal tender
act of February rs, 1862, at the in
stance Of Wall street pirates, that
the vast profits were realized by
speculation in the purposely lie.
preCisted currency Of the country. It
was through this exception, Of which
Mr.. Dawes seems to pe 80 proud,
that these pirates were enabled to
buy the currency Of the country at
an average Of forty per cent dis
cunt and invest it in government
bonds dollar for dollar. The repub-
lican party is alone responsible for
that iniqulty, and hence 1t is not
strange, perhaps, that Mr.. Dawes
seeks to find some justification for
it. He is taking a very foolish
method, however, to justify il by
falsifying records so readily sCcessi.
bic as the Congressional Globe.
The greenbaCk was a war neces-
sity. Il is within the memory Of
many men and women still living
that gold and silver disappeared from
circulation soon after the beginning
of the war. This "honest money"
skunk away as it always does intimes
OF danger to the dark caves in Wall |
street, and it refused to come forth |
at the demand of the government and
aid in the preservation of the re-
public. When the government
needed men to fight its battles, if
they did not volunteer they were
