Supreme Court Decision
On a Mortgage

SAD DEATH OF w. J. WHITE
MORE, A COUNTY OFFICIAL
Ezra Cokahnour Repudiates His Con-
fession of Arson - McGregor
Wants to See His Child

In the suit of John B. Rea, respondent,
We. Albert Haffenden ct al. defendants;
the Barona company ct al, appellants,
carried on appeal from the superior
court Of San Diego county, the supreme
court has handed down a decision af-
firming the judgment and order ap-
pealed from.
The action was one to foreclose
mortgage upon certain real property,
executed by the defendant Haffenden
to secure payment of note for $1,000.
The complaint alleged that the other
defendants have or claim IN
terests in or liens upon the
mortgaged premises, which inter-
ests are all subsequent and subordinate
to the lien of plaintiffs mortgage.
Haffenden suffered his default to be
entered The other defendants by their
answers admitted the execution OF the
note and mortgage, and that they had
interest in the lands described. but de-
ny that said interests are subordinate
to the lien of plaintiffs mortgage, and
claimed that the said mortgage Is IN
operative and void as against them for
the reason that prior to the commence
ment of the action they never had no
tice thereof, actual or constructive. They
also claiIAed that plaintiffs cause OF
action was barred by section SS7 of tSe
code of civil procedure.
The trial court held for the plaintiff
on both points, and on the appeal two
points were made for reversal.
l. 1t was claimed that no conclusions
of law whatever were found or stated,
and that that constituted fatal de-
feet in the proceedings of the court
below, and. hence there was no basis
to support the judgment.
q. That plaintiffs mortgage was in
valid for want of a description therein
of any real estate; that in effect it con-
tained no description whatever; that
the attempted description was so in
sufficient that 1t afforded no basis for
a decree of foreclosure and gave no
notice to the defendants. who were SUBJ
sequent purchasers and incumbrancers.

TRACK AND TRAFFIC NOTES
General and Personal Mention Of In
terest to Railroaders

Free carriage of bicycles on the lines
of the Pennsylvania system east of
Pittsburg has at last been conceded.
The only conditions attached to this
generous gift of transportation are to
the effect that there shall be no liability
for stolen or injured lamps, and that BIZ
cycles shall be rated as weighing 100
pounds, and be considered as part of the
$50 pounds weight allowed each passen-
ger in the baggage car. The New Jer-
sey senate has unanimously passed the
Gledhill bill. which provides that all
railroads in the state shall accept and
carry bicycles free Of charge in lieu Of
other baggage. Wheelmen may be re-
quired to remove from their wheels any
lamp, and the railroads arc>not COM
PEELED to take the bicycle on the same
train as that on which the owner takes
passage, except where the train has
baggage accommodation.
General Manager Greene Of the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad has issued an
order requiring all livestock to be wat
cred and fed at least once every "a hours.
Yardmasters are to be held strictly ac-
countable, and the penalty for violation
is rather severe.
There. is likely to be considerable in
terest taken in the railway pooling bill
now before congress by the railway la
Dor organizations. The railroad en-
ployes seem to understand thoroughly
the effect that disastrous rate war
would have upon them, and they will
probably pursue the same policy that
they did in regard to the two cent fare
bills introduced in several legislatures
last winter. Committees were appointed
to appear before the legislative COM
mittees and object to the bills on the
ground that they would tend to reduce
wages

The Only Good Paper Currency

All propositions for the retirement of
the legal tenders and the abolition of
the treasury reserve as feature of our
currency system are coupled with the
demand for a banking system that would
afford large note circulation, one more
responsive to the fluctuating demands of
business and one whose reserve would be
maintained by banks which would be
compelled by the conditions of their
existence and by law to protect their
notes, and which, through their discount
business, have the necessary machinery
for increasing their reserves or decreas-
Ing their liabilities. Such banking sys-
TEN would provide the paper currency
which the American people would rather
handle in their daily transactions and
carry about as pocket money than specie.

Mr.. Bryan on Equality.

In his speech at New York on Feb 26
MIR. Bryan said: "If any person believes
government should single out few
people and give them advantages over
others. he does not understand equality
under the law
This is very true. But, in demanding
that silver mine owners be permitted to
take 90 cents worth of bullion to the
treasury and have it stamped as 81. is
not Mr.. Bryan advocating the very in
equality under the law which he re-
Dukes: Would not free coinage of silver
at fictitious ratio be to single out a
few people and give them advantages
over others?" The owners of silver bnl-
lioa in this country are very few indeed.
Again Mr.. Bryan says, mo just gov
ernment ought to enable or permit one
citizen to lnjure another citizen -
True. But would not the government
do this if it enabled one class of citizens
the debtors, to discharge their obliga-
tons to another class, the creditors, in
dollars worth only half as much as were
the dollars loaned? If the government
were to make wampum or conch shells
legal tender for the payment of debt,
would 1t not enable one class of citizens
to lnJure another class: And would it
not do the same i'll depreciating the cur

The Question of Branch Banks.

II small national banks are to be en-
oouraged III the more sparsely settled
portions of the country, the question
arises whether they should be purely
local organizations or branches of the
great metropolitan banks The old Unit
ed States bank had branches which, by
virtue OF their connection with large
central institution, had some adyan-
tages over the local banks with which
| they competed, but We're in more than
one instance the objects of adverse state
legislation. This spirit of local hostility
10 bank located in another CITY, and
perhaps another state, left memories
| which still survive and which account
in part for the opposition to branch
banks
But the experience Of England and
Scotland, Canada and Australia, is
strongly and uniformly in favor of large
central banks with many branches. The
banks OF Canada are able to maintain a
singular uniformity i'll the rates of in
terest III the great commercial centers
and III the remote agricultural regions

meet the deficiency i'll another as it can
not be done by wholly independent

very much like those of the United
States, and the success of the Canadian
banks in doing what we recognize the
Importance of having done is entitled to
great weight i'll our considerations In
Scotland it is well known that the
branch system has greatly favored those
agricultural interests which in our own
country are 80 much in need of financial
accommodation
The preponderance of financial testi-
mony Is decidedly i'll favor of the branch
system, most of the opposition to which
comes, or would come, from local finan.

Bryan's Mistaken Policy.

Aren't Bryan and his friends making
great mistake by continuing the dis
cussion of the silver question at this
time: 1t is nearly four years until the
next presidential election and the peo-
pie can learn Il whole lot about silver
and the effect Of cheap money upon
wages and savings i'll four wears. They
learned much that Bryan didn't want
them 10 know during the four short
months of the last campaign. 1t is no.
tlceable that i'll the states where the cues
r1on was most discussed the maiori
ties against Bryan We're heavy or his
maJorltles We're unexpectedly small.
Ii the silyerites will think of the great
amount of work done in the states west
OF pennsylvania, east of Colorado and
north OF Tennessee and reflect upon the
result of the election, they will, if they
are wise and want to win in 1900. con.
clude to drop educational work and to
proceed on some less dangerous line. If
Bryan and his friends would stop talk
ing about silver for three years, itwould
be difficult for the 'goldbugs'' to get
people to listen to their convincing areu-
ments If our hard times should uufor
tunately continue, Bryan might step out
few days before the 1900 election and
say, II told you so, and majority Of
the voters, without having given the
matter much thought might conclude
that perhaps the ''crime of 1872 was
responsible for the lack of prosperity.
But if they study the question for four
whole years they will be certain that
neither silver nor any kind of cheap
money ever brought prosperity to any
country, though they have often brought
hard times. The wage ealuers will un-
derstand that l6 to is an underhanded
scheme to lower wages and the farmers
that they cannot, by juggling with cheap
money, get any advantage Of the rest of
the world III the matter of prices of farm
products. This educational work must
be stopped short, or the cause of free
silver is lost.
