to enter into details regarding the
practical effects of this appreciation of
gold, it will suffice to give some indi-
cation of the enormous injury it has
inflicted, if it is stated that the transfer
of wealth from the landed and proper
tied classes and from the mercantile,
manufacturing. and producing classes
generally, in the United Kingdom, to
the holders of securities. mortgages.
annnities. ETC., cannot be less thar
e., 900, 900, 900, due solely to the APP
probation of gold.
lit is already question how much
further the holders of securities are to
receive the assistance of continually
contracting currency to enable them to
go on absorbing further and turtle the
wealth OF the producing classes. If no
other relief can be obtained, it may be
necessary to fix a commodity standard
instead of a money standard for long
dated payments. as has been recon-
mended by the principal economists of
the last hundred years. Such colos-
sal unearned increment as has accrued
to the holders of securities valued in
gold during the last twenty years in
Europe and the United States, amount
ing to not less than from $1,000, O00,-
900 to $4,000, 900. 900, is entirely un-
paralleled in the history of the world,
and all other public questions sink
into utter insignificance compared with
it,

A Question Of Integrity.

A FREE silver paper gives vent to
the folio wing:
ssThe investments OF Europe in the United
States amount to $5, 000, 900 600, on which
the interest is $3.50, 000, 900 year, which
must be paid from the earnings of our peo-
pie. Paid in honest money this would be a
sufficient burden, certainly; but under the
gold standard, it is paid in dishonest, thiev-
ing 200-cent dollars, robbing the native
debtor for the enrichment of the foreign
creditor.n
The man who wrote above has .
slistorted conception OF the moral dis
tinct.ou between right and wrong. and
thus affues that 1t Is right for the
debtor 70 borrow good money. but
wrong for him TO repay the creditor in
tho Same coin. He would have him
pay his debt IN money worth half a.

BROTHER LACY of the Scott County
Democrat agrees with US that gold and
silver should receive the same treat
ment at our minis, without discrImi-
nation against either metal. 1t fol-
lows that the only question left for dis
cussion is the one of ratio. We are in
favor of restoring the old silver unit
the 3711 grain-that existed up to
1873. which is usually denominated
the Is to 1 ratio, because it undoes
wrong and wipes out crime. The
crime of larceny was committed when
the unit in 1873 was changed from sill
yer to gold, and we propose to recover
the stolen property. We are opposed
to the gold unit because gold is I'M
stable in value and cannot be coined
into a money that the people can use
conveniently in the everyday transac-
lions of life. We favor the Is to
ratio because it has been demonstrated
that it is the natural ratio. In this
government we maintained that ratio
for eighty years. and at the time the
unit was changed and silver demone-
tized the bullion in the silver dollar
was worth more than the bullion in
the gold dollar. Every argument now
used for the decentralization of silver
was impossible in. 1873. The claim
that silver has become so plentiful
that it has ceased to be precious met
al is not tenable, for the reason that
its production has decreased from 1913
to 1895. In 1913, according to Null
hall, the London statistician, there
were 81 tons of silver in the world to
one of gold, which amount had de-
creased in 1890 to Is tons of silver to
one of gold. Between those dates
there had BEEN great increase in sill
yer production in the United States,
but there had also been an enormous
decrease in the output of the rest of
the world. All the gold in the world
available for coinage does not amount
TO IS, 900, OOO,0 900. This amount, if we
had it all. would give the United States
q per capita circulation of little over
fifty-seven dollars. According to the
director of our mint there was in the
world in 1890 $500. 571. 346 of silver.
Let us say that the amount of silver
equals the gold; then. if all the gold
and silver in the world was brought to
the United States, we would have a
per capita circulation of only $114 of
primary money. The public debt of
France amounts to about 500 per cap
fta. The REGISTER believes that the
people of the United States can pros
per with a per capita credit OF one
hundred and fourteen dollars, if the
people Of France can prosper under a
per capita debt of a hundred dollars.
The gold people see plainly If Free
Coinage of Silver comes at all it must
be at the natural ratio, which is about
is ounces of silver to l of gold. OF
course, Brother Lacy. having declared
for the free coinage of both gold and
silver, will want the natural ratio.

DID SHE BURN THE HOUSE
Mrs. Amelia Plat Said to Have Collected
the Insurance
She Was Too Loquaclous, and Now Mrs.
Minnie Durham Has Given
Away the Snap

The examination OF Mrs.. Julia Knox
and Mrs. Amelia Platt, accused of having
set fire to dwelling house on Lightning
street, between West Pico and Electric
streets, on the 9th of July, 1894, will take
place this afternoon at 80 in the town
ship justice court. The complaining
witness is Minnie Durham.
The story told by this lady is very dam
aging to the defendants. 1t is to the
effect that Mrs. Platt came one day to her
and impaired the startling intelligence
that she was going to burn the house she
resided in in order to get the insurance
money on her furniture and personal
effects. She di> not intend, however, to
sacrifice the more valuable of these by fire.
but meant to remove them to u safe
place. Not long after this she began to
''tote" things OF value from her house to
that of Mrs. Durham, where she crammed
the closets full of them. On the 9th of
July last the house went up in smoke ac-
cording to programme, and Mrs. Platt OBJ
tanned $500 for the loss of her household
goods Meanwhile the property which
had been lett at Mrs Durham s had been
shipped by her to an address in San Fran
cisco at her friend S request.
When the insurance company had set
tied up the Patt policy, no one having
entertained the slightest suspicion that
the fire was of an incendiary nature, the
Platt woman in anot er burst of loquacity
told Mrs. Durham that she had given to
Mrs. Julia Knox $3.50 out of the money re-
ceived, because she had put the fire to the
house. She explained that Mrs. Knox
had poured coal oil over the floor and
then built blaze over it. Mrs. Durham
will explain today why she has concealed
her knowledge of the crime 50 long.

SCOTTO'S STREAK OF LUCK
Discovers Himself To Be Heir to Z
Millionaire
The Money To Be Divided With Some
Relatives In France Amounts to
Four 1iIIion Francs

q -
Not long ago an Italian newspaper, II
Secolo XIX, made mention that of
the heirs to the estate of Giuseppe Scotto
had been found after search OF nearly
fifteen years. They are inhabitants of Nice
and Mentone in the South of France.
Scotto was rich italian merchant, who
died suddenly in Paris after an at
tack of apoplexy in 1880, leaving will
by which he bequeathed three million
francs to his male relatives, to the entire
exclusion of the female line. At the time
none of the heirs were known and the
money of Scotto estate was cons gned to
the Caisse DIES Depots ct CONSIDERATIONS,
where it was suffered to ulate until
there is now there 1900, 900 francs, about
$500, 900.
BY the merest accident the copy of the
paper fell into the hands of friends of G.
Scotto of this city, who is better known
to his many acquaintance as "Cardi
nali.' From the details of the story he
was convinced that Giuseppe Scotto was
none other than his uncle, and that under
the will he is one of the male defendants
OF the rich merchant, who are to inherit
his eat wealth,
Mr.. ITO lost no time in writing to
Euror vi he is satisfied that as soon
as he { establish his relationship by
means of papers in his possession, that
he will be placed in possession of q part
of the fortune. At present CARDINAL is
one of the owners of the United States
restaurant on Main street, under the
United States Hotel. Whenever he gets
his share Of the francs of Uncle Giuseppe
he intends to open up the finest culinary
eStabli Shment of Los Angeles.

THE WHIST QUEEN
A Lady Who Takes Her Business Teaching the
Game


Game
Miss Kate l. Wheelock, the acknowl-
edged queen of whist, and one of the
cleverest opponents and teachers of that
most fascinating game, reached Los
Angeles yesterday for short visit.
In graciously accorded interview with
a Herald representative, Miss Wheelock
was found to have most charming and
entirely delightful personality, and her
manner and speech are as direct and
simple as her culture and intelligence are
broad and high. Miss Wheelock was a
devotee to whist and humble disciple of
its subtle intricacies, and limitless inter-
esting possibilities for number of years
before she began to teach.
In fact her teaching was more of an &C.
cident than the result of u deliberate in
tention. One day about ten years ago,
during social game in milwaukee,, her
home, she was asked if she would teach
some OF those present who had not acs
quired her degree of excellence in the
game.
AT first she demurred, but upon the in
sistence of her friends she consented, and
from that day to this taught almost the
year around.
She has engagements that will occupy
her constantly until the end of 1896, and
SHS ioitoWo hel procession oSeaoSS S,iS
loves and venerates the game; because she
knows from her own experience the en-
nobling influence its study gives to mind,
heart and character.
During the spring of 1891, in the
Woman's building at Milwaukee. the
American Whist League was organized.
At the annual meeting in 1894, three years
later, the membership numbered over
$1,000. Miss Wheelock was the first woman
admitted to the league and the fact that
she is known in it, and elsewhere, as the
queen of the game, is pretty good proof
that nobody is sorry to have made her the
precedent. She comes to Southern Cali
fornia from the recent whist congress at
indianapolis to fill engagements with
classes already made up in Pasadena and
Coronado. From here she goes next
MONTH to Santa Barbara and thence to
San Francisco, in both OF which places
she also has engagements.
