The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires
a constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and as
sisting nature in doing its work.

We know that the banks are sensi-
tive to criticism, yet we beg ileave in
the midst of all the cry for "honest
money" and paying debts in so
cent'dollars" to recall the transaction
occurring swhen the New York banks
went into suspension and paid their
depositors in deprecated clearing
house certificates. We understand
that gentleman of this city had
money on deposit in New York
during that panic. He checked for it
and was paid in clearing house GER
tifcate, which he had to discount in
order to obtain the money we think.
This loss has never been made good
to him. This was his own money on
deposit in the bank and there was a
legal and moral obligation to pay it
to the utmost farthing." Thous-
ands of dollars were paid in the same
way and while the memory of these
transactions remains modesty at least
should keep the banks of New York
bent on honest payment of debts.

Papers Read at the Regular Monthly
Meeting Last Evening

The regular monthly meeting Of the
Southern California Academy of Sci
ences was held on last evening
at the Friday morning club hall, SSOss
South Broadway, when the following
papers We're presented: A Mazamas
Visit to the Wonderful Crater Lake on
the Summit of the Cascade Mount
aims, by T. S. Van Dyke. and The Art
of Assaying by Irwin M. Wade.
At meeting of the executive commit
tee held September 26th, a resolution
introduced by Mr.. Abbot Kinney, was
passed. as follows:
The Southern California Academy OF
Sciences send greeting:
Resolved, That the welfare of South
ern California demands the preserva-
tfon of the mountain watersheds. The
only serious damage to the mountain
watersheds and government forest res
ervationS in this part of California Is
due to fire. Forest fires diminish the
water holding power of the mountains,
diminish the summer flow of springs
and streams and increase torrent and
flood action.
Resolved, That we believe system of
management with a forest patrol Is
an immediate essential for the safety of
the large horticultural, farming and city
population of our valley.
TeSoiNeu, 1HdI we lHVlte your CO.
operation in securing such management
for our mountain forests as will prevent
the present destructive fires and sug-
gest that your organization forward ap-
propriate resolutions to the president
of the United States and to the secreta-
ry of the interior, also our senators and
representatives in congress.
The above resolution is being for
warded for signatures to the various
scientific, educational and commercial
institutions on the coast.

n almost entirely unconsidere

An almost entirely unconsidered
factor as yet in everyday life
is the auto-car. At the mechan-
ical science section of the Brit
ish association Sir Douglas Fox in the
course of his speech as president, dwelt
in terms of optimistic prophecy on its
future. He believes that it may solve a
part of the agricultural problem by
solving the difficulties of transport The
cars could use existing roads, run into
the farmyard or field, and receive or de-
liver produce at first hand. Sir Douglas
Fox had to admit, however, that the
present auto-cars are far from salts
factory. ''They are ugly in appearance,
noisy, difficult to steer, and vibrate very
much with the revolutions of their en-
gines, rising. as they do, to 400 per min
ute; those driven by oil give out offen-
sive odors, and cannot be readily start
ed, SO that the engines run on during
short stops" Such difficulties would,
however, soon be overcome. It is gener-
ally conceded that it is horses, and not
wheels, that most damage our bad roads,
and the auto-car would be little detri-
ment to our scheme of good roads.

MEDICAL COLLEGE OPENING

The opening exercises Of the eleventh,
annual session of the Los Angeles Medi-
cal college take place at 10 o'clock this
morning in the commodious new build
ing at 937 Buena Vista street.
This college was organized by Drs.
Widney. Kurtz and other public-spirited
citizens in 1885, and 1t has steadily ad-
vanced in its creditable work until it oc-
cupies an enviable position among the
educational institutions of the United
States.
The twenty medical practitioners who
are the instructors in this school have
not only worked faithfully and enthu-
siastically developing this college, with
out one dollar of reward or pay, but have
also paid $4,000 out of their own per-
sonal funds for the construction and
equipment Of their new building.
An institution such as this Is of signal
service in helping to make Los Angeles
metropolitan educational center.
Some of our most prominent Los An
geles practitioners are graduates Of
this school and speak with pride of their
alma mater. The free dispensary con-
nected with the college is a great prac-
tical charity, an average of 5000 of the
sick poor being treated there annually.

MILD IN TIMIDATIoN

Republican leaders and newspapers
stoutly deny that there Is any disposi-
or corporations to irtimidate their en-
ployes with view Of securing votes for
Mckinley. The oracles of the gold
standard party would liIy to have pso-
tion on the part individual employers
pie believe that every votef is and will
be perfectly free to exercise his choice
for the presidency without in the least
degree endangerirg his existing rela-
tions with his employer.
There are different degrees of intim-
idation, and various ways of using it,
1t is not claimed that employers are
notifying their wQrkmen that they must
wear Mckinley Buttons, shout for him
and vote for him or be discharged. Few
employers of labor would be so foolish
as to pursue such a course. 1t is true
that with the Australian ballot system
in every state but two it will be difficult
for one man to know how another votes
unless informed by. the voter himself,
But there are ways offnfuencing voters

Mr.. William Harper, newspaper ed
itor of Mt Vernon, Ohio, has just re-
turned from England. He relates some
of his experiences while abroad as fol-
lows:
Why, in England one scarcely dares
mention Bryan's name, and to say any,
thing favorable to silver or to show the
least friendship for Bryan is almost high
treason. The papers there, when they
mention Bryan at all, refer to him as
an anarchist and an uneducated fellow
of the lowest instincts. Everything is
Mckinley. and every English interest
is being worked to bring about his cleo
tion. This may surprise the average
Democrat, who might, and perhaps ma
turally, be led to believe that on account
of McKinley's supposed tariff views the
English would be opposed to his cleo
ton. But the English are most friendly
to Mr.. Mckinley and most bitterly op-
posed to Mr.. Bryan. 1 happen to know
Bryan quite well. On several occasions
| took pains to tell the truth about him.
Those with whom I talked expressed
their surprise that any person with
claims to respectability should even let
it be known that he knew Bryan, and
they almost cut my acquaintance. How
ever, / judge from Information I have
gotten since reaching New York that
Bryan is the man and that Mckinley
will have his hands full carrying his own
state.

COIN

In 1873 an act was passed by congress
suspending the coinage of the silver dol
lar. The act had a title that was a
complete mask of it's intent John Sher-
man is the only public man connected
with that act who now admits knowing
what it did. Every one else then in con-
gress has denied or now denies knowing
anything about the attempt to cut away
one of the constitutional standard met
ais measuring value. The president
who sigend the act denied knowing that
silver was thereby to be removed from
the coinage. Since the Sherman act
congress has repeatedly declared that
all the public debts were payable in
COIN. In the Matthews resolution
passed by congress and signed by the
president in 1879, it is specifically de-
clared that all the public debts are pay
able at the option and convenience of
the government in standard dollars of
silver or in standard dollars of gold
Congress has, since 1873. made the sill
Yer dollar an unlimited legal tender
The silver dollar today is as complete
a legal tender as is the gold dollar.
Congress has uniformly and repeat
edly refused to authorize refunding
bonds or new bonds of any kind or at
any time to be contracted in GOLD only.
The general laws provide for COIN pay
ments. Congress refuses to change the
law defining coin to be the silver dollar
and the gold dollar of standard weight
and fineness. Every money lender. ev-
cry syndicate OF money lenders, has
taken the bonds of the government with
notice that the American people re-
served and held, as always before, the
option of which precious metal they
would make their payments by. Secre-
taries and presidents have suggested to
congress that the government could
make a better bargain in its bonds IL
the contract was changed from coin"
to gold coin." Congress has always
refused to do this. The last bonds is
sued by Cleveland are reported to have
cost the people eighteen millions of dol
lars more for retaining this option than
If they had consented to change the
contract and make 1t payable in gold
alone. The first act signed hv GerA~s,

THAT BANKERS CIRCULAR.

Editor Herald: Noticing your editorial
in this mornings paper headed Bank
ers Vindicated," and denying the an
thenticity of the panic circular of 1898
In my letter to you of September 2Sth
published in last Sundays paper, I
would say that I had ample authority
for believing it to be correct, as it is
| printed in the three following books:
Money and Prices, by Perry Prentiss,
and issued by the American Bimetallic
union; Cold Facts, written and publish
ed by G. st. John Cole of Minneapolis,
Mimi, and The Nations Greatest Prob
lem, written and published by +. Ten
| nyson Nicely of New York.
II this circular is not correct and was
never issued or sent out by the Ameri-
can Bankers association on March 18th,
1S93 as claimed, then / would ask why
were not the above mentioned parties
sued for publishing it and why was not
the original author of 1t prosecuted? If
untrue, it seems very strange to me that
the originators were not prosecuted. So
far as l am concerned personally.
would never have quoted it at all If
had any doubts of it's being true. but I
was led to believe that some Of the orig
inal copies of this circular and others Of
a somewhat similar nature-were still in
existence and 1t therefore could not be
disputed
II incorrect, however. am heartily
glad to know it, for would hate to think
that the bankers of this country would
be willing to sacrifice it's interests for
their own gain, but if true. then they are
taking very dangerous grounds and it
is little wonder that the people Of the
United States are in such a deplorable
condition. Such letters deserve the
strongest possible condemnation by ev-
cry American citizen, and naturally in
cite the greatest indignation and re-
sentiment.
Personally, I believe that it is better
for the government alone to have the
power to issue money and let the banks
be places of deposit where the people
can borrow on mortgages and notes as
needed. If this plan was followed, there
would be less panic and trouble, for ma
turally when times are hardest
the banks are forced to draw in their
money to protect themselves against a
panic when the reverse course would be
the more proper one to pursue to prevent
them, but the government alone is capa-
BILE of doing this and the people would
have greater confidence in its stability
and credit.
Trusting that you will publish this,
remain, very truly yours,

stand thatit wilLbe best for their inter-
ests If they vote the same ticket as their
employers.
This mild form of intimidation is
doubtless being freely used. especially
in so-called pivotal states" without
threatening to discharge employees SIM
ply because they will not vote as de-
sired, the employers need only to pass
around the word that Should Bryan be
elected we will be compelled to reduce
wages, and perhaps go out of business
entirely" Such statement cannot fail
to alarm many a wageworker whose
daily subsistence depends solely on the
little he receives from the firm that
suggests reduction or suspension. He is
engaged in desperate struggle for ex-
istence; his wages are low enough al
ready; he cannot afford to have, them
cut lower. much less can he afford to
lose his job altogether, with no prospect
of securing another. Under such cir
cumstances 1t would not be strange if
many wageworkers who desire to cast
their votes for Bryan and free silver
should conclude that for their own safe
ty and the welfare of their families their
duty lies in the other direction.
AS matter of fact such mild intimida-
tion has no real basis. It is one of the
ingenious devices for vote-making got
ten up by party as unscrupulous in it's
campaign methods as its platform and
candidate are weak and hypocritical
We hope every employe entitled to vote
will think twice before he decides to
support the Hanna ticket through fear
of losing his job in the event Of Bryan's
election. The Inauguration Of William
j. Bryan and the opening Of free silver
congress will not ruin the country, nor
produce still greater business de-
preston than we now have.
On the contrary such result
of the election will stimulate indus
trade, and open up opportunities for la
Dor to an extent unknown in this coun-
try for many years past.

Here are the statements Of the two
parties on the silver question, in which

mand that the standard silver dollar
shall be a full legal tender equally with
