A FOURTH SNUB

| Since the failure or the WolCOtt COM
mission to accomplish anything for the
cause of bimetallism the goldites have
nothing to say. The commission has
had good time in Europe at the ex-
pense of the government, and is coming
home with dropping feathers.
Hayes sent commission to Europe
to promote international bimetallism
which accomplished nothing. President
Garfield sent another across the Atlantic
for the same purpose, and it was COM
posed of such able men as Allen G. Thur
man, William NJ. Evarts and Timothy
o. Howe. The secretary of this com.
mission was Dana Horton, one of the
best informed men on the subject in
the world, whose opinions have been
! quoted time and again in America and
Europe, and whose views We're unmis-
takably for bimetallism. This commits
sion accomplished nothing.
President Harrison sent a third COM
mission. composed of very strong men,
but among them were widely divergent
views, some being impregnably for the
gold standard, others for the double
standard and others occupied a position
of "betweenity." 1t has been thought
that this third commission was ap-
pointed not only in compliance with the
platform of the Minneapolis conven.
tion, but to throw dust in the eyes Of
the American people.
The last commission, appointed by
Mckinley, was nominally bimetallist,
as, after the former experiences, it was
thought safe to send such commission.
for there was no prospect that it would
have any success. 1t was treated more
cavalierly than its predecessors, and it
comes home without having obtained
the consent of Great Britain even to
confer.
The question is Will the goldite dem
agogues and hoodwinkers attempt a
fifth farce? 1t would seem not, but
there is no telling what the gold come
dians will attempt to perform.
1t would be wiser for the pretentious
DlIleldlllStS 10 QlScdTO tTelr masks ana
make the issue direct and unmistak-
able.
International bimetallism is desirable
but it is immensely more important that
it should be adopted in this country re-
gardless of what foreign nations do |
What is wanted is a money volume that |
will accommodate our domestic trade |
which is eighteen times greater than our |
foreign. Every nation creates a money |
for domestic circulation, and not for in
ternational. The balances of interna-
tional trade, so far as this country is |
are but slight one way or
the other and hence but small volume
is necessary to conduct it, while our re-
tail trade alone requires, according to
the statements of the best statisticians,
$500, 900, 600 A money volume bears an
intimate relation to the volume of do
mestic trade and ten per cent of the
latter would not seem to be too much.
If this rule is respected our money vol
ume should be more than SO, 600, ,0OO 900,
as the volume of our domestic COM
mcrce exceeds $50, 900 900.
Let Uncle Sam take care of his own
interests and the outside world Will take
care of its affairs.

A Word for Old Ironsides

Considering the limitations that en-
numbered the builders of the old frigate
Constitution, are they surpassed today
by the makers of our monster warships !
The Constitution is {. wooden ship-and
we smile. But have we a modern ship
that will float 100 years hence to show
the sides that crushed her rivals or sank
them? Have we ship that will be cap
able of any execution at all at the age
which marks some of Old Ironsides'
grandest victories ?-Boston Globe.

The force of Mr.. Lows candidacy Is
not only unifying but victorious. 1t is
impossible now for any reasonable and
observant man to doubt his election.

vincing.
1t is little cruel to spring the fore

Baseless Charges

Perhaps nothing more contemplate,
certainly nothing more unjustifiable,
has appeared in the public prints than
the recent attack upon the management
Of the state asylum for the insane. We
have gone to the trouble to investigate
this matter, and we affirm positively
that the charges of extravaganza, Of
carelessness and of stealing by employees
are false. They are made out of whole
cloth. They haven't leg upon which

CALIFORNIA OPINION
The Hobo Business

Our idea about the hobo business is
just this: We do not believe that con-
table ought to arrest a man until he has
shown that he is a menace to the COM
munity. If man begs or steals. no
matter how little. and a citizen makes
complaint, then it is the duty Of the
officers to act. The officers have no
right to assume that man is a vagrant
and then arrest him just because the
poor fellow is in hard luck and broke.

Reform Through Intellirence

The whole world is paying tribute to
the memory Of Henry George. His radi-

through the intelligence Of his system,

against wealth simply on the score of
an uneven distribution of riches.-Oak-

ANOTHER DAMAGE SUIT
A Boarding-House Keeper Asks
$4,000 as Damages

Upon the 18th of May last, while
Mrs. Margaret R. Berry was
crossing the street, at the juno
tion Of San Pedro and Second
streets, the two-horse wagon belonging
to r. Orsi of the City dairy, and driven
by one of his employees, ran over her.
When removed to her home it was dis
covered that the forearm was fractured
and there was dislocation of the ulna
OF the right wrist, as we'll as numerous
bruises.
Now that Mrs. Berry has measure bly,
recovered from the effects of the acct
dent, she has filed suit for damages
for the injuries she has sustained and
places the amount at $25O0, with $3.50
as special damages.
The plaintiff alleges that she makes
her living by keeping boarding house
and that after the accident she was COM
PEELED to let some of her boarders go,
and in so doing lost a revenue of $40
per week. Then she had to hire an extra
girl for one month, at a wage of $50
to take her place in the household and
even when she was able to get about
and discharge this girl she had still to
have extra help and engaged another
girl at SIS per month These amounts.
with $100 for medical attendance, make
up the amount of the special damages.

THE ASSESSMENT ROLL
An Advance of One and One-Half
Millions on the Year

The board of equalization. now in ses-

the assessment roll, the complaints not
having been numerous. The board will
be in session two weeks longer, however,
and the total may be cut down some
what.
The assessment roll of the year shows
an increase over the report of last year
on city improvements, but country prop
erty shows little change. Last year the
report aggregated $9S, 7S71SO, but that
amount was cut down because of an
error in the totals. In round figures the
amount this year reaches the sum of
SlOO, ,350,S64. exclusive of railroads in the
county. This is an advance of about
S1,500,000 as it stands at present.
