An important decision affecting con-
tracts has just been made by Superior
Judge Angelotti of Marin County. The
case was that of p. McDermott vs.. John
L. Greavy, executor. In passing Judg-
ment the court said: This is an action to
foreclose lien claimed under the pro-
visions of section 11S1, c. c. r., upon a
lot in the city of San Rafael, belonging
to the estate of Margaret Greavy, de-
ceased, for the work done in the con-
struction of a sidewalk in front of said
ed was done at the request of the defend
ant executor during the period of the
administration of the estate. The work
not having been done at the request OF
the owner of the land, plaintiff never ac-
CURED any lien. No act or request on
the part of the executor could serve TO
create a lien on property of the estate

Cotton Is Still Tagging.
Atlanta Constitution.

&AtiAuOtl O>subtIUuN"hs
The low price of cotton
seems to be still too high for
the manufacturers. There il
such an unsatisfactory con-
dition OF things at Fall River
and elsewhere in the North
and East, that the mills
have practically withdrawn
from the cotton market. The
boom that was expected has
not arrived; the higher tariff
duties have not. proved in
the least cffectual.
Unquestionably { h e low
price of raw cotton is caused
10y the lack of demand for
cotton goods, and the lack OF
the demand is due to a lack
of money. The gold men
say there is plenty of money
in circulation. There is prob
ably more than a plenty in
circulation IN the fnancia
"enteTs, but the fact doesn't
help matters in the wide ex-
panse OF territory covered by
the South and West. There
is more in circulation in the
West than there has been,
owing to the higher price ol
wheat, but the increase ia not
Il drop in the bucket compar'
ed with the needs OF the peo'
pie.
The territory referred to il
the market for cotton goods
and owing to the lack o.
money there, the mills fine
their unsold stocks pilingup
When will the matter take
a turn? When the manufac
turers JON with the farmers
in abolishing the single golc
standnrd. Unless that
done shortly, the minority
OF the Eastern mills will hav,
to go out of business.

A Good Indication.
Biblical Recorder.

Biblical Recorder.
1t is right hard on the cot
ton buyers that compara-
lively so little cotton has
been brought to market; but
it is a good sign, neverthe-
less. 1t shows that many
farmers are at least no long
er at the meIcy of their
friends, the spring time lein-
takers. Time VAS, and is
now with many, when if a
farmer had cotton on Octo
Der 1st he must fetch it to
market and lay it at the teet
of the merchant who supplied
him with provisions and fertil
izprs in the sowing season.
That so much cotton is now
in the farmers hands, and
that they express ~ readiness
to hold in hope of better
prices, hlch we believe will
be offered, indicates that the
farmers are more indep endent
than they have been, which
is as good a sign of the times
AS we have discovered in
many a day. Let our farm
er frieDds strive to be indie
pendent more and more.
They know how better than
this writer. The achieving it
is the question. 1t is easy to
say: "Make the farm support
itself: then plant the surplus
acres IN a money crop" But
it requires masterful manage
ment, and fine thrift to do
it. Yet it has been and is
done: and the more that do
it. the happier this land.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

Secretary Gage now owns,
up to the gold bond scheme,
which so many republicans
took the trouble to deny
when it was publicly stated a
short time ago that it would
form the foundation of the
administrations attempt to
secure financial legislation
from Congress at the coming
session. Mr.. Cages state
menE to the Cabinet has been
made public, probably with
the hope that it will meet ia,
vor with the people to d sui
ficient extent t q Influence
Senators who are naturally
opposed to such a scheme,
which, for bamboozling pur-
poses, Mr.. Gage calls anti
radical III character. This
country fought the greatest
war of modern times without
finding it necessary to issue
a single gold bond, yet, now,
in Il time of peace and amid
boasts OF continued and in
crcasing prosperity, the ad-
ministration will ask Con.
grpss to authorize the issue
of a sufficient quantity of
gold boads to refund the Ell
tire bonded Indebtedness of
the country and to add a
hundred or two million to
the gold reserve fund. Some
of the arguments advanced
in favor of the change arelit-
tie short OF ludlc:Ous. For
instance. when Mr.. Gage says
that making our entire bond
ed Indebtedness payable in
gold "Nould strengthen and
confirm the public credit and
put US in II POSITION 10 COM
mand the markets of the
world for Our securities on
the most advantageous
tprme." Every school boy
knows that we already occu-
py that position; that like
the securities of no country
on earth are in greater de-.
rnand all over the world
than those CT the Unite6
States.
