Small Notes.

Ex-Comptroller Trenholms suggestion that the Sherman notes and the grs:n- backs should be fused, and small one two and five dollar notes issued in thsir place, redeemable in gold is a sensible ideIa from the point of view of those who hold that there is alre ady too large a volume of currency. The idea Is that small notes are so extensively issued in daily transactions, and pass so rapidly from hand to hand that it is easy to use a large amount of them in business. and thus conceal an imitation of the currency, should such imitation exist.
 Those who hold that there is not enough currency in circulation will seize upon this suggestion, and claim that the issue of notes and silver in small denom- nations would be great convenience, even though it should swell the circula- tion to $40 or $50 per capita. The active use of small notes and silver would pre- vent the business world from feeling that there was in reality very large volume of currency. No genuine financial re- form will be attempted under the pres ent administration, nor under the next if the democrats allow Wall street to name their ticket.
 In the near future. however, 1t is to be hoped that there will be sensible and patriotic democratic adm niIstration or deck. Then, whether bimetallism wins
 
 or not, state banks will be re-estab- lished; the expenses of the government will be reduced; big incomes will be taxed; the national banking system will be wiped out or stripped of its objectiona- ble features, and the country will choose satisfactory currency of its own, instead

Altogether Misleading.

The Philad slphta Press in an editorial feview of the yellow fever epidemic, says:
 But notwithstanding these pre- cautions the fever spread rapidly Its eastern range was Atlanta, Ga., where two cases but no de ths occurred; it's w stern range was Houston, Tex, where there were three casts but no fatalities, and it's nouthern range was Cincinnati wfdh one case but no death. The total number of cases that have occurred between tn time the disease was first recog ed and last Monday was 4,595 and the total num- Der of deaths 46S.
 Northerners and foreigners who read this editorial will suppose that the fever was epidemic in the entire region south of Cincinnati, and between Houston and Atlanta, including those points.
 AS matter of fact, the cases in At lanta, Cincinnati and Houston did not "occur" there in the proper sense of the word. It would be more correct to say that they were carried thsre from the gulf coast and it's vicinity. During the entire epidemic no city in the country was any freer from every symptom of the disease than Birmingham, and yet this fact would not be suggested by a close reading of the article in the Press. The careless comments of the nontharn newspapers when they discuss this sub- jeot are calculated to do the south a great sal of damage.

Should Speaker Reed locate in New York at the expiration of his present tsrm in congress, as is reported, it will be a serious blow to the state of Maine. Had it not bsen for the prominence of James G. Blaine and Thomas B. Reed there are few people who would know there was such a state in the union. Of course, Neal Dow and the Maine whisky law which produced more drunkards than any other law ever enacted contributed something to the fame of the state. though Blaine and Reed have been its greatest press agents.

The Law of Progress

Henry Georges Progress and Pow
 erty."
 Association in equality is the law of progress. Association frees mental pow CT for expenditure in improvement and equality Cor justice or freedom, for the terms here mean the same thing'-the recognition of the moral law), prevents the dissipation of power in fruitless struggles. Here is the law of progress, which explains all diversions, all ad- vances, all halts, all re'trogressions. Men tend to progress just as they come closer together and by cooperation with each other increase the mental power which may be devoted to improvement. But just as conflict is provoked or associa- ton develops inequality of condition, this tendency to progress is lessened, checked and finally reversed.

THE WEAVER.

From the Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review. Beside the loof of life>1 stand
 And watch the busy shuttle go; The threads hold within my hand Make up the filling; strand on strand
 They slip my fingers through, and SO This web of mine fills out apace, While stand ever in my place. One time the wool is smooth and fine
 And colored with a sunny dye; Again the threads so roughly twine And weave so darl1ly line on line
 My heart misgives me. Then would ! Fain lose this web-begin anew But that, alas! I cannot do. Some day the web will all be done,
 The shuttle quiet in it's place, From out my hold the threads be runj And friends at setting of the sun,
 Will come to look upon my face, And say: Mistakes she made not few, Yet wove, perchance, as best she knew.N

Fifty Of Them Organize an Expedition
to Bring Back Sacks Of
Gold

About fifty employees of the Los An
geles Railway company met in Blanch-
Fitzgerald hall last evening to dis
cuss further the proposed expedition to
the Copper river gold fields of Alaska. MIR.
Waters, representing the promoters of
the expedition, was present and declared
that the success of the undertaking is
now we'll nigh assured.
1t is proposed to secure 100 men for the
project each to deposit $50 for fare to
the mouth of Copper river, the money to
be placed in the keeping of the Farmers
and Merchants bank and refunded If this
expedition fails to sail from San Pedro
between October and 10. Each pros
pector will be allowed to take 1900 pounds
of freight.
Much enthusiasm is said to exist
among street railway men regarding
the proposed venture. 1t is reported
eight men belonging to Division No.
have determined to go. Mr.. Waters
stated last night that if twenty-five men
could be secured in Los Angeles the re-
mainder of the 100 could be found else
where in Southern California.

held for the purpose, the first occurring

TRINITY MINES A FRAUD
But Plenty of Good Prospects in
Southern California

w. B. Woods, a we'll known and sue.
in the city yesterday from Denver. He
has come to Southern California with a
view of purchasing mining claims for "a
New York syndicate.
Il guess" said Mr.. Woods last even
ing, Il am what you would call 'natu-
raj born miner, first having seen day
light in the famous Comstock distrSri,
where my father was foreman Of a
mine. When the mining boom broke
out in Colorado l went there and took
up several claims which have sirne
proved to be quite rich. But during the
past few months the mining business
throughout Colorado has been exceed
ingly dull, and as there seemed to be no
prospects of an improvement, decid-
ed to come to this section, which, after
three weeks Of careful study. can hon
estly say I believe is on the eve Of a
great mining boom. l am well satisfS 4
that there is an abundance of rich min
eral deposits in various sections of CEN
trail and Southern California, which as
yet have never been claimed.
Il recently visited the Trinity gold
fields, and after a careful investigation
find that their richness has been gross
ly misrepresented. The Trinity boom,
I believe, was originated by three or four
men who have an option on large tract
of land up there and wanted to sell town
lots to the guileless public.
My mission here is to look over the
country carefully and to purchase any
mine which 1 think would prove a
profitable investment for the eastern
capitalists whom have been represent
ing in Colorado for five years. I expect
to personally inspect all the mining dis
tricts in this vicinity, and will no doubt
extend my trip into Lower California" :"
