The Law of Nature.

Alta period when the human
mind was most active in the IN
vestigation of the rights of man,
and the human heart most honest
in the pursuit Of the fruits of these
Investigations; when the De;lara-
ton Of American Independence was
yet in embryo and Washington
was just entering upon the thresh
old Of manhood, Adam Smith gave
to the world mis- great work entitled
"An Enquiry into the Nature and
Sources of the Wealth of Nations,
and laid the foundation Of that
modern political economy against
which depotism has made war FOR
an hundred years in vain. 1t is
the rock upon which all modern po-
litical science rests, the foundation
of civil and political liberty and
the safe guard of the rights of the
people. Its object is to demon.
strate that the most effectual plan
for advancing people to greatness
Is TO maintain that order OF things
which nature has pointed out, by
allowing every man as long as he
observes the rules of justice to pur
sue his own interests IN his own
way and to bring both his industry
and his capital into the freest con
petition with those OF his fellow
citizens. This is the foundation OF
the Democratic doctrines of free

Senator Lindsay On Silver
Coinage.

The Washington correspondent
of the Louisville Post has secured
written statements from a number
Of the members of thu present Con.
gress, touching the silver question,
among them, and most important,
the following from Senator VIM.
Lindsay:
This Congress cannot deal with
the currency question because diff
terence Of opinion rs to the propos-
ed legislation are so radical and
pronounced that they override all
ideas Of party Discipline. The dom
inant party in the next Congress
will meet with the same difficulty,
and in the Senate will be utterly
he pless, in view Of the large mum
Der OF Republican Senators coming
from the silver. reproducing States.
The question of silver coinage is
sectional in the sense that the
silyer-producing States lave a
direct pecuniary interest in com.
polling the Government to provide
a market for their silver bullion.
The Representatives of those
States consented to give up the
coinage of silver as provided for by
the Bland-Allison law, when their
people were offered greater profit
through the purchasing clause of
the Sherman law of 1890. 1t was
Indifferent To them whether silver
bullion was coined or sold as
commodity, provided the silver
producers were taken care of.
In the agricultural States it is
different. With their people the
desire Tor the coinage of silver is a
sentiment, and they honestly be-
lieve that the free coinage OF silver
will promote the general good.
The uncompromising hostility
of New York and New England to
any recognition OF silver, as mani
tested by the opposition of those
sections, 10 the compromise propos-
ed by the Democratic members OF
the Senate When the bill for the re-
peal Of the Sherman law was pend
ing, and their opposition to the
coinage Of the silver bullion pur-
chased while the Sherman law was
in force, and now in the Treasury,
answering no useful purpose what
ever, have intensified the sentiment
prevailing in the agricultural States
in favor of the large use oil silver.
The continuous coinage oil silver
bullion in the vaults of the Treas
ury at the full capacity OF the mints,
say $3,500,000 per month. would
probably reconcile the friends of
silver coinage, other than the silver
producing people, to conservative
attempt to place our currency sys-
tenn on consistent, harmonious
and common sense basis. The peo-
pie now appreciate the impossible
ty of the Treasury continuing to
act as bank of issue and redemp-
ton, with no means of procuring
the money of ultimate redemption
except by tie sale of bonds.
They are beginning to see that
values cannot be increased directly
by acts of Congress, and that times
cannot be made good by legislation.
1t will, however, require time TO
convince New York and New Eng.
land, on the one hand, and the
silverproducing States on the other,
that neither extreme will be able 10
permanently control legislation, to
the detriment of the great body of
the American people but they will
be 30 convinced in the end, and
then intelligent and patriotic leg
islation will be had"

THEY ARE AT LOGGERHEADS
The Supervisors and City Council Lock
Horns
1t Is All About the County Hospital Sewer
and Neither Side Appears Willing
to Yield

The city council, through its sewer com
m ittee, and the board of county supervis-
ors, appear to have locked horns good
and fastupon the proposition as to how the
cost of the proposed new county hospital
sewer is to be divided.
1t was some time ago informally agreed
between all of the various parties that
the county would foot one-third of the
bills IN the proposed public mproveme ent.
This proposition the city accepted and
the supervisors wers so notified. In reply
to this communication the board of SUI
peryisors made a tender 70 the council of
$500 in lump sum as the county's share
of the cost bills for the work. This offer
the city declined, and then $1,000 was ten
dered. Yesterday the sewer committee
instructed City Clerk Charles f. Lucken-
bacn to address to the county board the
following letter:
AT the time we had the conference with
you we left with the understanding that
you would pay one-third of the cost OF
the sewer to accommodate the county
hospital. The amount you now offer falls
far shoIt of the one-third cost of the
sewer. We ask that you fulfill your pledge
to the property owners and members of
the city council who appeared before your
honorable body and appropriate S1400 for
the said sewer. When this is done we
will order the sewer constructed. We be-
licve that this will not be one third of the
cost of the said sewer. as we have ex-
amined into the matter more fully AMI
believe that the sewer will cost more than
the estimate first made to you; the price
of the pipe alone will be 95 cents per foot.
We ask that you give this matter favora-
BILE consideration.

OFFICIAL RECOMMENDATIONS
They Will Come Before the Council on
Monday
At Which Time In All Probability They Will
Be Favorably Acted Upon-Architects
Inclined to Grumble

An evening paper on Wednesday and a
morning paper yesterday printed what
purported to have been the selections oi
the various new school sites agreed upon
by the board OF education. The several
articles as published were nearly all at
variance with the facts. 40 witness the
following official communication upon
the subject iiled yesterday:
Office of Board of Education. Los An.
geles, June 6, 1895.
To the Honorable City Council, Los An
geles, Cal.
Gentlemen The board of education to
whom you referred the bids for new
school sites beg leave to make the follow.
ing recommendations, viz:
That you accept the bid OF Mary l..
Fleming for lots 1. 3 and 3, Park tract
$3500; also that of d. J.. Grove for lot No.
16, ColIna Park tract. $1,000; also that of
J. Vandam, for lot No. II. Colina Park
tract $1,000; also that of C.W .Tarr. for lot
No. IA, Colina Park tract, $1,000; also that
of Order d. Dow for lots lSS, lS9. 100, 1911
and 1872, Grider & Dow's Adams street
tract, for S2500; also that of W. II. Work
man for lots No. 40, Al, AZ and 43, Work
man e. Hoilenbeck tract, for $4,000. ut
being understood that this is to be put
III proper Sndpe DelOTc Undl purchase is
contaminated.
We would further recommend that all
other bids be rejected, and the sites not
provided for in the above recommendation
be again submitted for bids.
We would also recommend that you
change No. IA in the advertisement to
read 5000 square feet adjoining the pres
cnt New Macy street site, instead of
Center and Lyon streets.
The above is signed by Secretary G. P.
Dandy of the school board and will
come before the council OH Monday
for action. 1t will probably be
adopted and new tenders advertised for
where the bids have been rejected, as
has been prayed for.
The members of the Southern Califor-
MIA chapter of architects are not taking
kindly to the proposed plan of the board
of education that they make separate
bids upon each of the proposed new
school houses. The architects want the
board to allow the usual per cent of the
total cost OF the proposed building and
that the lucky architect in each case act
as superintendent of such building. This,
the members of the board say, cannot be
done, as the city has it's own build ing
superintendent. The architects will prob
ably at the proper time make formal
protest against the adoption of the plans,
as has been tacitly agreed upon.
