CALIFORNIA OPINION
Effect Of the Frost.

Full reports of the effect of the recenv
cold frosts in Southern California will
be awaited with interest and no little
anxiety. The orange is a sensitive tree,
and the frosts this month have been un-
usually severe all over the state, but az
the orange growers have been taking all
possible precautions and experimenting
in various ways with the object of rails
ing the temperature in their orchards
during the cold snaps, it is probable that
their losses have been but trifing.-San

ALYnching Denied

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 23.-An Ex-
aminer special from Spokane says:
Several persons who have come here
from Colfax declare that notwithstand-
ing all denials lynching occurred there
Sunday night or Monday morning. 1t is
asserted that Chadwick Marshall and
John Mcdonald, the alleged murderers
of Orville Raydon, prominent citizen of
Pennington, were taken from the county
Jail by mob and hanged to trees near
the town. According to this story a
press censorship prevails and conse-
quently the facts have not been permit
ted to make their way to general notice.

Currency Reform

To the Editor of the Los Angeles
Herald: The friends of currency re-
form will regret that no plan has yet
been devised upon which the moderate
element from all sides of the financial
question will be able to unite.
The source of this regret lies in the
fact that the hope must be abandoned of
a speedler relief from the acknowledged
defects in our monetary system, than
is possible If the question runs on until
settled uncompromisingly in favor of the
gold or biinetallic standard. While this
condition Of the controversy is the cause
of regret, there can be little dlsappoint-
ment in the matter, for with all the dis
cussion upon the subject in the past
thirty years, no such happy solution of
the problem has been offered.
The principles that are submitted to
the consideration of the people are prac-
tically the same as they were vigorously
discussing twenty years ago, for the in
genuity of man has never been able to
bring forward an enduring substitute.
The discussions in congress on finance
have been singularly marked by OBJ
stinate antngonism, and physical endur-
ance has been a leading factor in the
debates upon those measures that are
now part Of our financial system.
Perhaps in no other economic question
has progress been so often blocked and
many times all efforts finally abandoned
through sheer exhaustion of the partic-
ipants. Congress has, throughout these
years refused repeatedly to sanction
any plan involving the retirement Of
the greenback, no matter under what
guise or under what circumstances it
was offered.
In this action congress only reflects
the affection with which the people re-
gard this form of money. and whether
this sentiment is founded on good busi-
ness principles, it is a power, neverthe-
less, that the logic of the hardmoney
people has not been able to overcome.
1t seems apparent also that any plan
to extend the privileges of the national
banks as banks of issue will meet with
an equally determined hostility in con-
gress and among the people,
1t is extremely probable that these and
kindred measures will be relegated to the
background and the greatest Of our po-

Following the Master

The spectacle of a Christmas minister
obeying the precepts and initiating the

cred unusual enough to be the subject

topic of editorial comment in dozens Of
