The Creamery.

Last Friday g party of farmers and
newspaper men visited the creamery
at Bellevllle, and made a thorough
investigation Of the plant and lis
workings. It was found that during
the past month sixteen cents was paid
for pound Of butter Eat, and that q
pound Of butter fat makes q little
more than a pound Of butter. Every
one, farmers, business men and
women with whom the party talked
expressed himself az being more than
pleased with the method Of selling
butter. It takes the labor OH tho
woman and gives a much larger re-
turn.
A meeting will be held Saturday
at the court house at which members
Of the patty will tell Of what they saw
and learned. On Saturday d portion
OF the visitors stopped al Lebanon
and witnessed the opening Of the
skimming station at that place.

A Pot Shoe.

Last Friday night as J. @. Royce
William Stretton, and e. Il. Brainerd
were on their way home from the
depot, they were hailed by r. f.
Stinson who informed them that q
row was going on at the O. r. /. and
p House and asked the party TO 20
with him TO investigate. Stinson
also stated that a messenger had
gone up town for a doctor as Mrs.
Potts was shot, and seriously wound
ed. Royce wanted time to bid his
family good bye, and went home but
finding II. M. Picker and George
Medium at his home, he consCripted
a squad and led them to the scene Of
battle. The house was surrounded,
and Stretton possessing the most
bravery, was sent to the door, with a
summons to surrender. His demand
was Internationally accepted, and
the assailing party marched bravely
in except Picker, who living at
Smith Center, is not used to the ways
Of city life, and 80 kept out of sight
behind hedge. The inmates Of the
house assured the party that nothing
was wrong, and invited il to q back
room, where Mrs. Potts, who was
supposed to be dead or dying, was
reclining in undress uniform. We
will let her tell her story: II was
standing near the kitchen door when
some one fred of q gun, and l
thought I was stone dead, but
/ guess l only tainted" The
women of the house say that the five
men who were in the front part OF
the house, pretty near, killed them
selves in getting under a bed. About
this time DrS. Wallaoe & Fisher ar
rived on the scene, in company with
the sheriff, and a birthstone factory
was at once started in full blast.
For the rest OF the story ask the
senior member of the medical firm.

TWO GREAT HOLIDAY EDITIONS

The Herald will celebrate the Christmas
holiday and New Years day by issuing two
special editions. both of which are calcu
lated to be of exceptional value to the pa
triot of Southern California. who, realizing
the rare wealth of his circumstance, de-
sires that the opportunity should be re-
vealed to others. Both editions will COM
prehensively reflect the native wealth, the
resources and the progress of a goodly
heritage, while the main object of the
Sunday Herald, the presentation of sub
jects of general interest and great variety,
will still be faithfully preserved
The Christmas number win be published
on Sunday next, the 26th inst; the New
Years edition on Sunday, January 9 1895.
Large editions of both special numbers
will be published, and advertisers who re-
alize the value of these exceptional op
portunities to reach not only every wide
awake citizen of Southern California, but
thousands who may be prompted to seek
the promised land, should take care that
their copy is in sufficiently early to
ensure publication in good places.

FUNDING THE PENSIONS

The pension scandal is assuming for
midable proportions. 1t is growing to
such proportions that honest men are
no longer afraid to call it by it's right
name, while plans to avert and dis
tribute its burdens are already being
submitted. In this mornings telegraph
report may be found description of
scheme offered by a Meriden. Conn,
manufacturer, which is nothing more
nor less than a funding scheme based on
life insurance tables.
Mr.. Rockwells idea is to issue to each
pensioner negotiable bonds, or to pay
him cash al his option. to the amount he
would receive from the government.
based on life insurance expectancy. The
advantage to the pensioner of receiving
his pension in lump sum is obvious. and
it would put into circulation a very large
sum of money.
On behalf of the government it would
do away with the pension office ma
chinery and avoid large annual ex-
penditure. There are, on the other hand
obvious objections to the plan. The
wisdom of giving many of the pension
ers lump sum in discharge of the gov
ernment's obligations is questionable,
while the project would involve
an enormous bond issue. 1t should
be carefully looked into as a business
proposition. Funding and refunding
plans are sometimes deceitful
In any event, there ought to be rigid
investigation into the methods by which
the pension roll has attained its pres
ent enormous proportions. That is of
more Importance than the shifting of the
existing burden, which should first be
cut down rather than spread over more
ground.
The herald., 1897-12-23
CAGES GOLD BONDS

In his proposed bill for placing the cir
rency on single gold basis, Secretary
Gage asks permission to refund the pres
ent bonded indebtedness of the United
States and to issue new bonds to mature
ten years after date of issuance, payable,
principal and interest. in gold coin. The
bonds already issued are payable in
either gold or silver coin at the option of
the government. Secretary Gage by his
bill, proposes to grant to the bondhold-
ers and bond syndicates the very thing
for which they have been clamoring for
the last thirty years and which has been
defeated by congress time after time.
What is the real meaning of this part
that the present holders of bonds pay
able in either silver or gold coin can sur
render them, and have issued new gold
bonds in their place. The effect of this
will be that every bond now outstanding
will be surrendered and reissued and
the whole bonded indebtedness of the
United States, by a well-laid scheme
made payable in gold coin. the Mecca
toward which the eyes of the bondhold-
ers have long been turned.
AS compared with the crime of 1878,
the evil that must result from the enact
ment into law of the proposed bill is in
significant. By the act of 1873 silver
alone was demonetized. By the proposed
bill gold is not only made the sole stand
ard of value, but, at the same time, a
scheme is provided by which the coin
bonds of the government may be ex-
changed for gold bonds. A national gold
debt and single gold standard the one
increasing the value of the other will
in themselves burden the people beyond
any reasonable calculation by destroy
ing proportionally all the means by
which debts can be paid. VIII congress
enact it? And if congress does, can the
people bear the burden?

AN OPEN LETTER
Hon. Charles N. Fowler, Washington,

Hon. Charles N. Fowler, Washington,
D. c.:
NV Dear Sir: Your circular letter of
date November g. 1897, also copy of your
bill OH. B. so, 55th CongO to amend the
National Bank act; also copy of your
speech in explanation and support of
the same have been received and care
fully read and considered. In reply
unhesitatingly say that l think your
proposed amendment ought to be fairly
satisfactory to the banking classes.
Your amendments, however, are some
what complicated, and as some of the
provisions are liable to be misunder
stood, especially by the common people,
l respectfully call your attention to the
banking law of Spain, the salient fea-
lures of which are given by Del Mar in
his Money and Civilization" Nondon.
1856, edition) pages 121 to 1913 inclusive.
The Spanish banking law is a model OF
simplicity; it is impossible to misunder-
stand or misconstrue it, Again, it has
been tried, and I think it will be con-
ceded that under it Spain has attained
remarkable financial position among
the gold standard nations Of the world.
and as we are now about to follow her
to acknowledge her as our financial pro-
totype If we adopt the Spanish law
we might in all probability in a short
time be able to stand shoulder to shoul-
der with this great financial reformer
and become in the same manner as Spain
now is one of the great money centers
Of the gold standard world.
In the adoption of her banking system
Spain had no hesitation in declaring
herself gold standard country and pro-
vidng for the redemption by the gov
ernment, on demand, of all of her token
money, not in gold coin, but in certain
weight of fine gold. Your bill provides
for the redemption of our fiduciary
money in gold coin. I do not like this.
| do not think it will be satisfactory 10
the banking classes. Such money should
be made redeemable in q definite weight
of fine gold, otherwise dishonest con-
gress might at some future time reduce
the weight of the coin, and debase the
fneness of the metal, and so defraud the
honest banker. Such contingencies
should be guarded against. The Span
ish law is much safer in this respect
than your proposed amendments.
Realizing the fact that your official
duties must keep you constantly en-
ployed, and that you might not have in
your immediate possession a copy of
Del Mars Money and Civilization
quote from 1t summary Of the Spanish
