The meanest man has at last been
found. He is an individual with the not
inappropriate name of Dare. who, while
serving in the capacity of cashier for
. San Diego bank, took an impromptu
departure a few years since owing his
institution something in the neighbour
hood of $4,000 With admirable pru-
dence, for one so named, Mr.. Dare. who
is now domiciled in the Grecian capital,
Athens, evinces a dissemination TO re-
turn to the places that knew him of
yore. But it is the excuse he gives for
continuing to exile himself that stamps
him as the most reprehensible of
wretches. He says he Is deferred from
returning TO San Diego because of the
disastrous effects of the bay city eli
mate on him. he prefers the ealubrity
of Greece. The wrecking of trusted
financial institution is no mean offense,
but it is hard to devise punishment
that will fit the crime of deliberately
wrecking an entire community by ruth
lessly discrediting its most available
asset.

The interest the wage Garner and the
farmer have in maintaining the gold
standard is sized UP in the following
brief, pointed and truthful manner by
the New York World:
Under our existing system the gold
standard is maintained for all our dol
lars.
The workingman who receives a silver
dollar in payment of wages is able to
buy as much with it as if it were gold
dollar.
But if free coinage were decreed the
gold standard would be at once aban-
doned. The silver dollar. worth - cents.
would become the standard. The dollar
that now buys 100 cents worth of any
commodity would buy only 81 cents
worth.
Do workingmen want their wages re-

very little opportunity has been given

this role she makes most charming i'm

prosecution Of the socialists has been
clearly shown to be an effort TO stifie

right in their demands. the policy of
persecution may delay. but it cannot
ultimately prevent their triumph.

AN EMBARRASSING SITUATION

General Barnes expressed himself
with luminous intelligence when he
advised the late Republican convention
of this state that the best thing 1t could
do about a platform was to dispense
with one. He rightly surmised that this
is not a propitious season for Califor-
mia Republican platforms on which del
egates are expected to travel to a ma
ttional convention. He knew that the
adoption of platform would lead to
the expression of views which
it would be impossible to dove
tail with those that will be
given out by the national conven-
ton of the party: that condition of
things would arise precluding the
possibility of consistency wearing
its jewelry'' and abiding with the Re-
publican party of California at the same
time. And he was right. Coming
events cast their shadows before" and
it is plain that California Republicans
will have a chance to do some tall ex-
planning or skillful ignoring between
the date OF the Republican presidential
nomination and the date of the Demo-
cratic nominees election.
The situat ton of our friends, the enc
my. is thus delicately presented by the
San Francisco Examiner:
The foresight and judgment of the
leaders of the California Republicans
become evident to the voters in the light
of the news from the east. Foremost
of the resolutions prepared for the con-
vention and swallowed by the delegates
was the one that read:
We favor the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at the ratio of l6 to / and the
making OF silver as well as gold legal
tender In payment of debts. both public
and private.
This triumph of political cookery has
been served up before the electors with
every attention to culinary detail. The
committee that mixed the dishes as
sured the convention and the conven-
ton assured the party that it was tur-
key in It's most tempting form. And
after all 1t turns out to be merely a It'd
of crow. When the st. Louis convention
meets, the California Republicans will
be politely requested to eat their words
and reject free silver.
The delegates to the St. Louis con-
vention are chosen, and it is known al
most to certainty how each one will
vote. The standing of the party repre-
sentatives on the currency is as we'll I'M
derstood as the preferences for the can
didate. On a count of heads the dele
gates who are instructed on the money
question stand as follows:

Disvrpeetu, Condition of Mission Road


Editor Herald:--I wish to cali the at
tention of the powers that be- to the con-
dition OF Mission road. The visitors TO
the East Side park are loud IN their praise
OF it's beauty, but equally loud in their
denunclations of those whose blame ~ IS
to have its beauties marred by the dis
graceful condition OF Mission roa Ga I and

have been broken by coming in contact
with street car rails that are not guarded;
by either plank or gravel l have invested
several thousand dollars in the vicinity or
the park for which transaction l am ex-
tremely sorry. as see 1t is settled policy
of certain coterie to depreciate properly
in that part of the ward.
The councilman from the First ward
promised while canvassing that II elected
he would pay as much attention 70 me
south side of Downey avenue as to the
north side where he resides, but like all
campaign promises, his seem to be forgot
ten. Councilman Nickel. through whose
graded around the park, and many other
substantial improvements within, would
not suffer such an eyesore to exist IN any
ward OF the CITY,. much less his own; l
learn from all with whom l have spoken
on the subject that. they. are highly indis-
nant at the manner in which they are being
pany. The latter got a franchise on Mis-
sion road and Griffin avenue, laid some
rails on Macy street and dumped a
few on Mission road, evidently to hold the
franchise indefinitely. as they have done
on Pritchard street. Now they want an
other franchise on Workman street.
Verify the procuring Of franchises must be
u profitable business, especially II the
lucky applicant is never called on to pay
a fine for failure to comply with the con-
ditions under which he or they were
awarded said franchise.
1t seems to me very strange that our
city council does not see into the 1nge-
NOUS methods resorted to by the manipu-
lators of franchises. When the franchise
was awarded to the Pasadena company.
If I am rightly informed work was to be
pushed theoretically on the streets covered
by the franchise as soon as their line to
Santa Monica was finished then the via
duct work bobbed UP as another excuse.
but when all the streets are covered with
franchises they can select what suits them
