THERE Is good ground for doubling
the right of Congress to appropriate
money for the relief of the people of
this country who have suffered from
the floods in the rivers of the West
and Southwest, but if it can appropriate
money to relieve the British subjects in
India who have suffered from the fam
inc in that foreign country, surely no
right minded citizen Of the United
States will object to yesterdays con-
gressional appropriation for the former
DurDOse.

SILVER QUESTION
May Cause a Cabinet Crisis in
England

NEW YORK Oct. 14.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Paris says: The Herald
is informed from trustworthy source
that the answer which the Indian goven-
ment has forwarded to the British cabi-
net declining to open its mints under an
agreement with France and the United
States is causing considerable difficulty
in English government circles. A ma
jority of the cabinet is inclined to over
ride the opinion of its Indian advisers on
question which principally affects In
da, but several members of the cabinet
feel that the government is too far COM
mitted to withdraw. At the present mo-
ment it is impossible to foretell the out
the resignation of all the influential cabi
net ministers is not improbable.
Meanwhile it is interesting to know
that the refusal of India is based on her
opposition to the ratio Of 151a to 1. In
dian statesmen foresee the greatest diff
ficulties arising out of sudden gap in
the price of silver to 60, which, it Is
feared, would revolutionize the CONNER
cial relations and lead to the ruin Of
many merchants engaged in trade with
Asia. On a basis more nearly corre-
spending with the present price Of sill
YER, for instance on the basis of 15H per
rupee, that is to say 42d per ounce for
silver as the standard, India would i'm
mediately open her mints. Perhaps the
English cabinet will try to negotiate on
such lines before finally rejecting Sena-
tor Wolcott's proposition.

AN OPENING FOR AMERICAN EN-
TERPRISE

AS the mining Industries Of the Klon-
dixie gclctfelds develop and multiply and
new gold deposits are discovered-as
there is every probability they will be
6Sscovered-in the Alaskan territory of
the UDited States, the demand for
mining machinery, for plant ard mining
implements Of all sorts, will Increase to
proportions constituting a heavy and
profitable trade 1t is gratifying to
know that although the gol6fields of
the Klondike are in British territory
aGd British manufacturers are alive to
the possibilities of the situation. the

sion that it will he useless for them to

West Australia is by no means
worked out as yet as a market for

is ringing with the details of the SEN

time hardly likely that our home en-

1t has taken us all our time lately to

NOT A FIREBUG
Watchman Harris Cleared Of Sus-
picion of Incendiarism

STOCKTON, Oct. 14.-Referrlng to
the arrest of Charles Harris at Moke-
lumne Hill on suspicion of setting fire 10
the Roanoke quartz mill, which was de-
stroyed by fire last Sunday, the officers
of the company here now say that since
the arrest developments have been made
which point to his innocence and the
guilt Of other parties. Harris is
man Of excellent standing and is the
brother of the superintendent of the
mine. Since the mill was closed down
three weeks ago he has been in charge
of the property as watchman. A man
of that section charged the crime on
Mr.. Harris and the company authorized
his arrest. but now 1t appears that an
other person. is guilty. The principal
owners of the RoaCoke mine are George
and Frank West and Col G. b. Sperry
OF this city, all of whom speak we'll of

WHAT MATTERSp

The San Diego Union is inclined to be
facetious over the present status Of the
San Pedro harbor question. A few days
ago The Herald asked: What influence
is at work with the war department" "
What ground do the opponents Of San
Pedro harbor hope TO gain by causing
delay until after congress meets?' What
right has the war department to be so
influenced?' p Whereupon the Union sayu
What does 1t matter whether the bids
for that breakwater-which will not
make a harbor-are invited before or
after congress meets? Surely, if the
Los Angeles boomers have even the
most feebe faith in the justice of their
position, they need have no fear that
congress will interfere. There would
certainly be no likelihood that the law
makers would attempt to defeat an ap-
preparation unless it were peculiarly
atrocious steal. Why, then, should Los
Angeles be scared at the possibility that
the government may defer taking the
final step toward beginning that break
water until congress is in session?
question that is not easy TO answer. L.
matters whether the bids are invited
now or later, because il is extremely i'm
portant that work on, the harbor be
begun at the earliest possible day, in
the interest Of navigation, commerce and
industry. The justice of the position OF
the friends OF the harbor cannot BE-
called into question at this late day The
harbor matter has been an open question
for six years past, and if there had been
anything wrong about the result finally
secured it would have been discovered
long ago.
why then should Los Angeles be
scared?" Because the mysterious ways
of the present national admin istratior
and the Republican party are open to
suspicion. Because Mr. Coils P. Hunt
ington, a tireless and audacious enemy
of the harbor project, has given evidence
Of influence and ability to control the
action of the secretary of war in his
own private interest. Because Tha
Herald believes-as the people of Soue h :
ern California generally believe-that
Mr.. Huntington will leave no stone un-
turned in his effort to find a way Of de-
laying the construction Of the harbor
at Sar. Pedro or of defeating the proje G..
altogether. 1t is not a question of an

Congress has already taken action ard
performed its duty. But the mazes OF
legislation afford enormous opportun,-

RESTRAINT OF TRUSTS

Mr.. Bryan. in his Fourth of July
speech, said: There is one thing you
can speak of as severely as you please,
and no one will object. That is trust"
This antipatihy to a trust rises from
the fact that trusts are for the most
part formed to enrich those ip them by
impoverishing the public.
So generally true is this that the
most conservative men recognize 1t TO
be fact that trusts must be re-
strained or the trusts will so restrain
business as to imperil our institutions
and with them our civilization. The
course and policy of trusts leads Gl-
rectly to state control of all industries
as the only way of safeguarding pubic
rights at all.
There are in general four ways Of
doing business. There is the Individual

Third, comes the Incorporation. Here
as many as see fit put money into apen-
