IN THE PUBLIC EYE

From the town Of Gloomy, in West
Glare, Ireland, is reported the death of
q man named Conway, who was Ill
years old. He was bog ranger on the
estate of Lord Inchiquin. and almost to
the last was in perfect possession of his
faculties. He used to walk two miles
every Sunday to mass. He had dis
tinct recollection of the Irish rebellion
of 1873, in which he had taken an active
part as boy.
A friendly biographer, who thinks
that ex-Congressman Richard P. Bland
may be the free-silver candidate for the
presidency, gives some interesting facts
as to his personality. Though he wears
socks, he does not wear a collar except
on Sunday. He wears knee-high boots.
and his trousers are two or three inches
too short He chews a quarter of O
pound of tobacco a day.
Francis Joseph, who succeeded to the
Austrian crown in 1s4S, has now out
lived three heirs. From 1s4s to 1858 his
heir was his brother. the .Archduke Fer
dinand- Macmillan. From 1858 to 1889
his heir was his son. the Archduke Ru-
dolf. Then, till the other day. his heir
was his brother, the Archduke Charles
Louis. Now his heir Is his nephew, the
Archduke Francis Ferdinand.
The death of Mrs Robert J. Niven in
Paris is expected to bring to another
American girl fortune which will en-
title her to be ranked among the rich
est young women In this country. Miss
Edith Collins. the ward of Chauncey NJ
Depew, is Mrs. Niven's granddaughter,
and. as there are no other heirs. 1t is be-
lieved she will inherit her grandmoth-
er's estate. which has been estimated at
about 100000
King Humbert. IN the name of himself
and of Queen Margherita, and of the
y~v;,, 30 e., L.
to the government for the families of the
dead and wounded soldiers in Africa the
sum Of 900 francs. This sum is to be
distributed without distinction between
the Italian and native soldiers who
fought side by side against the Abyss
sinians. King Humbert has also ex-
pressed HIS intention of furnishing, If
necessary, another sum Of ], 900 900 francs
in his name and in that of the queen
to be divided among the wounded.
Daniel Chester French has attained
the honor of being the first American ar
fist to whom permission has been grant,
ed to an outdoor statute in Europe.
The statue Will be Of George Washing
ton and will cost 100000. A group of
American women in Paris formed them
selves into Washington Memorial as
ISOLATION. and. after raising the neces-
sary funds, have secured the consent of
the municipal authorities Of Paris to
erect the statue in the French capital on
Rue Washington.
They are already talking in England
of keeping jubilee on June 20, 1897, when
Queen Victoria. WILL. If she lives, round
out the sixtieth year of her reign. 1t is
said that the "old lady of Windsor" is
now in very good health. If she sees
two Septembers out she will have broken
all records in the duration of rule in
English sovereigns. Her majesty's IA
vorite amusement these days is playing
checkers. She plays pretty good game
and likes to win. so much so that the
lady of honor, who is her opponent, is
careful not to win more than one game
day.

coins under free silver coinage than there
is now q deluge of gold coins with free
gold coinage. To suppose that there
would be required more silver metal on
the 16 to ratio than gold metal to act as
reserve for public and private credits
larger the reserve OF silver required the
greater would have been the impairment
of the credit system. The silver men say
they especially wish to help the silver
mines and the debtor. Ihave repeatedly
shown that 1t is impossible to do both.
The silver standard must disappoint one
of them. Silver must rise to help the
miner. in which case 1t does not help the
other fellow. Who are the debtors any
way? AS class the debtors are the rich
est men and the most powerful corpora
tions in the community. c. p. Hunting
tons corporations owe alone more than
all the public and private debts of Cali
fornia put together The corporations IN
Los Angeles owe more than all the pub
lie and private debts In this county. The
banks come in for q special cinch by the
silver men. Banks are debtors to their de-
positors in lawful money. while all the
money due them in this state Is in gold.
If 1t were not for the disasters to be an
ticipated from a general liquidation, the
banks would stand to win largely on the
proposed cut in the standard Of value
BUSINESS men give ana take creult Inelr
credits are in lawful money. while their
debts are here due in gold. The proposed
change of standard leaves them the ex-
pectation of bankruptcy, even though
their business Is we'll conducted.
The laborer and poor man is almost
Invariably a creditor for wages. savings
bank deposits. interest In trades union
insurance funds. etc. The truth of the
whole matter Is that the people recog-
nize the serious abuses that have grown
into our national life. and take up and
will take up any remedy forcibly pro-
posed to them. Today they look to free
silver for salvation. Silver was the
money of Palestine when Christ was
crucified. Twenty-Five pieces Of silver
was the price paid Judas to betray
Jesus. Together with their silver cur
rency. we know the corrupt condition of
the country; we know Christ drove the
money changers out Of the Temple; we
know that the Pharisees controlled the
government and that privilege oppress-
ed the poor more than it does today.
Why should silver do more for us than 1t
did for Judea? Salvation does not exist
in any kind Of money.

Los Angeles is enjoying an advertise
ment of the kind not exactly sought
after by its people. 1t has been made
the scene of an attempt at one of the
most gigantic bank robberies ever I'M
dertaken in the west. Fortunately the
plundering scheme was frustrated and
an old, substantial and respected finan-
cial institution was saved loss
that would certainly have embar-
raised it, to say the least The
plan was bold one, though not partic-
ularly novel. 1t is to be hoped that all
those identified with the attempted
steal will be apprehended and dosed
with punishment Of a kind that will both
render them powerless for similar evil
for long time and discourage emulation
of their deeds.

Editor Herald: l would like to call
your attention and the attention of your
readers to the practice of some retail
grocers in selling Eastern manufactured
matches no better than our California
manufacture, and charging five or six
times as much for them. / am Califor-
MAN and believe in protecting home In
dustry,, and' am sure matches manu-
featured in California are good enough
for anyone. What then is the grocers'
idea in importing Eastern ones? Per-
haps some one can explain it to my sat
isfaction. Receiving amongst other ar
ticles from a store l have been dealing
with long time, a box of these East
ern matches, l sent them back with the
request for some of California manufac-
ture; they had none in stock. l said
very well you may discontinue callipg
at my house for orders till you do have
them. The next day they had some. If
everyone We're to do the same way I
don't think we would send much money
East for that article. Yours respect
fully, j. n. S.

Look out for the registering Of voters.
For the first time since the establish
ment of the Great Register there is not
a fair representation Of the great polit-
ical parties in the force taking voters
names. The county clerks action in
violating a custom that gave confidence
to the people in their voting list is an
other instance Of a bad system pulling
down a good man. Newlin himself Is
a competent and honest man. but par
tisan machine methods have persuaded
him to an organization Of the register
ing of voters that does not command
confidence and that will lower him per-
sonally with the people. 1t has become
the duty now of every fair-minded cit
izen and believer in free representative
government to see to it that the political
views not represented by the dominant
machine have their voters fairly regis
tered.

The Pacific Mail company Is un-
der contract to take and leave
mail at Southern California port.
For a short time Representative
Bowers forced the company to carry out
its contract by stopping at San Diego
But even then the steamers would
neither take nor deliver freight, nor
would they take or leave passengers.
This subsidized line of vessels neither
does what it agreed and is paid to do,
nor does it give our people fair deal
in freight competition. 1t employs
aliens to our race and speech as sailors.
and it always has been a fraud and
handicap to our people. Subsidized in
dustries, subsidized railroads and sub
sidized steamers are all parasites sucking
out the life and patriotism Of the ma
ton. Carnegie scandals lap credit mo-
bilier scandals and these lap Pacific
Mail subsidy scandals. All of these
parasites have played a cinch game on
the public from the first and play it still.
What is strangest Of all is that their
power Is from the people. Let us stand
in with San Diego and force the Pacific
Mail to perform its contract both in
letter and spirit.

ORPHEUM.-A fine bill of attractions
is offered at this house tonight, includ-
ing more women performers than have
been seen before at one time since the
place opened. OF these Lizzie B. Ray
mond is the favorite. 1t would be mpos-
sible to praise this captivating charac-
ter vocalist too highly. Her songs are
well chosen and her manner simply ir-
resistible. Miss Raymond has deserved
ly made the hit of the week. Another
charming vocalist is Miss Alma Herzog,
the celebrated Wagnerian singer Of
Dresden, Germany. Her music is of the
highest order, and is exquisitely rem
dered McAvoy and May furnish no end
of fun with their rollicking grotesque
dancing and knock-about act The ex.
cellent travesty, Cleopatra UP to Date,
by LIE Clair and Leslie, is also great
fun provoker. Senorita Aragon, queen
of the lofty wire; Collins and Collins,
song and dance artists, and the little
bell-ringer, Mile. Carrie, conclude the
program. The usual Saturday matinee
will be given this afternoon by the full
company of stars.

nurses back was turned, he managed
to get out upon the street, clad as stated,

lsavening effect throughout the world.
The spectacle Of the United States and
England arbitrating every time they
have a dispute cannot fail to beget grsd-
ually q spirit of emulation in nations
which had before given little thought
to that method Of trying conclusions.
No international peace court is needed
to accommodate England and the United
States, nor any other two countries hon
estly desiring to settle disputes in peace
and reason. Not even a permanent
court of arbitration Is needed between
two such countries, but. as occasion de-
mands a court can be appointed. If the
countries are agreed for the principle of
arbitration there will be no difficulty
about getting body to apply It. Let
the countries that profess to believe in
arbitration consistently practice and
preach it and the remainder Of the world
will come to their ideal. The interna-
tional peace court is an fundamentally
