Because the public, who were about

the bond money has been applied to the
payment of current expenses during
Mi. Cleveland's term. Describing the
solid body of Cleveland bonds as sold
Tor resumption purposes is a false
hood, absolute and complete, and
wicked when it is remembered that this
same falsehood just missed driving a
deluded people into DESTROYING the gold
standard and the national credit.
While the public mind is bedevilled by
Misrepresentation like this, from Off
Gals whose places give authority to
their words, revolts like Organism are
but natural. and attempts to deal calm
ly with any public question are liable
to be beset with difficulties that may
prove to be dangerous

A Public Shame.
On. Y. SUM

The Comptroller of the Currency, Mr..
| Eckels. in his last report. under the
heading of the Cost of the Gold Re-
serve" puts down the entire block of
Cleveland bonds. of a face value of
$262. 315. 400, as sold for resumption pIr-
poses.'
This is a falsehood. Told first by
President Cleveland himself. into the
ears of the silverites and their excited
allies. it came near costing the United
States its good name and its political
institutions. Repeated now. it keeps
the question of the currency which the
spirit of anarchy and reputation has
made pregnant with national danger
in state of confusion that prevents in
telligent debate. and serves more than
anything else TO keep the population
cause alive. The best that can be said
when a falsehood SO unqualified and de-
liberate issues from the Federal ad-
ministration. is that happily it is with
out precedent, and. with the grace of
Providence. will have no parallel in the
future.
Before the first bond was sold in 1894
the secretary of the treasury informed
the Senate that the revenues We're def
Gent and pleaded for special authority
to issue bonds Ito supply such deficien-
cies." He solemnly' notified the Senate
that if his request was not needed he
would exercise the power already con-
ferred. to the extent at least of provid-
ing an adequate coin reserve

kind has to contend. Like all other vast
ing diseases, it has its origin in disorders
of the digestive organs. As result of these
disorders, the appetite falls off; the life Civ
ing elements of the food are not properly
assimilated; the blood becomes thin and i'm

lungs become clogged with inert, half dead

invasion of the germs of consumption. 1t

Ninety-eight per cent. of all cases of con.

that is particularly worthy of special men

beet-sugar industry.at Chino, inasmuch as

dustry.
A sale Of this famous ranch was recently
effected, and the property belongs now to
a firm of English finantiers. The Chino
ranch is located in San Bernardino, Orange
and Los Angeles counties, and com prises
about 10000 acres of land. Easton, Ed
ridge & Co. completed the nego tiations of
the sale, which had been In progress for
over year.
In speaking of sugar-beet raising in
California Wendell Easton, of the firm of
Easton, Eldridge & Co., who are handling
the sale of the property OF the Chino
ranch for the recent purchasers, had the
following to say:
while California as a State is remark
ably productive, and while many portions
of the State are suited to the general
agriculturist. the inducements for beet
raising at Chino is one of the most attrac-

can be demonstrated to the most critical
that the Land will grow the best speci-
men of beet production in our State. and
these same products can be turned into
money each season."

GONE into INSOLVENCY.
Failure of the San Francisco
Furniture Manufacturing
Company.
A. ]. Meadows Appointed Receiver
by the Superior Court-Assets
Exceed Liabilities.

The creditors of the San Francisco Fur
niture Manufacturing Company, one oi
the heaviest concerns of the kind in San
Francisco, petitioned the Superior Court
yesterday to have the company declared
insoivent, and the petition was granted,
a. ]. Meadows being appointed receiver
pending the placing of the affairs of the
concern in the hands of an assignee.
Meadows repres 'nts some of the heaviest
creditors and filed the petition with the
County Clerk yesterday afternoon.
The liabilities of the company are placed
at SIS, 600, with assets at more than that
figure.
The heaviest creditors are the Vermont
Marble Company, the Harrison-Jon and
Bum oldt Lumber companies, Sanborn.
Vail q Co., Whittier, Fuller e. Co. and w
and ]. Sloane & Co.
The assets consist of: Machinery.
$4,000; stock, $11 900; goods ready for de.
livery. $780, unfinished contracts, $1O.-
The cause OF the failure is understood to
be inability to collect on contracts and
litigation in which a large amount of
money is tied up. The creditors are per-
fectly willing to have the business carried
on, believing that the firm can be nut on a
safe footing, and pending the settlement
OF the affairs of the concern the receiver
and assignee will keep the factory in full
operation.
Receiver Meadows put up SIS. 900 bond
yesterday to carry on the business. He
expects 10 pay 100 cents on the dollar.
