The Loud postal reform bill, which
has caused many nightmare to coun-
try editors, was defeated in the nation
al House Of Representatives last week
The bill possessed some merit. Some
legislation along that line ought to be
undertaken but perhaps this bill was a
little too indiscriminate.

We give our free silver friends lib
eral hearing elsewhere. They are es-
pecially distressed by recent remark
of ours to the effect that nothing ails
our currency. Being like doctors with
some new-fangled nostrum that they
are anxious to try, it would be fatal to
their plans to have it established that
the patient wasn't sick. The stubborn
fact remains, regardless of all theoriz-
ing, that nobody in all this broad land
refuses to accept, or looks with suspi-
cion on any kind of money bearing
Uncle Sans trademark. Ii all passes
at par. The most popular kind of
money is the paper currency, and that
simply because it is more convenient.
This fact alone outweighs ton of the
CRY and idle speculation. When it is
no longer true, when our currency is
disturbed so that this parity no longer
exists, there will be time to administer
remedies. We have not intimated that
our present system is perfection or the
best that could possibly be devised, if
it were to be done over again. 1t
would be better. no doubt, ifevery dol
lar of our currency had dollars
worth, either intrinsically or subject to
redemption. 1t cannot have without
most serious arrangement of our
finances. We must 90 absolutely to
the single gold standard, which means
a disastrous contraction, or to the sill
yer standard, which means no less
disastrous descent to cheap money.
Both steps are fraught with danger and
neither is called for. The ability of the
government to maintain all its money
at par is best shown by the facts them
selves. There is little question that so
long rs the present methods are fol-
lowed present conditions will continue.
If the treasury department were handed
over to party determined to bring the
country to silver basis it might be
different. Our correspondents talk af-
ter the familiar fashion of the money
kings and the common people, We
expect this sort of talk and it does no
harm because people have come to
Learn That it is little pleasantly that
our silver friends indulge in in lieu OF
convincing arguments. We are all
anxious to become "money kings, and
the ambition is perfectly laudable
one. As TO who are the common peo-
ple- and who the uncommon people we
have never been able to determine.
Neither do we see the propriety of
free coinage man assuming to sign
himself Republican but of course
that is largely a matter of taste.

The Dreyfus affair is closed for the
present. NJ lola, who championed
Dreyfus and urged reopening of his
case, has been convicted of libel and
sentenced to years Imprisonment and
heavily fined. The army faction is
triumphant and rules France with a
hand of iron, depressing all movements
intended to promote further agitation.
In this way it is hoped the storm will
be stilled. but nobody can tell what the
excitable French temperament will
bring to the surface in moment. This
Dreyfus incident, it seems, is only one
phase of the deep and widespread an
ti-Semetic crusade now prevalent in
France. Though the Jews number on
" one five-hundredth of the popula-
ton, it is said that they have acquired
one-fourth of all the property in France.
For this reason they are regarded with
envy and hatred by a large portion Of
the French people, whom they have
overreached in the struggle for this
worlds goods. Just as in this country
the Bryanites inveighed against the
''money kings so some of the French
leaders who know better cry, "A bias
les Juifs, ''and the people are beginning
to hearken unto them. 1t has reached
the point that some express fear of a
general pillage and massacre of the
Jews. The government has kept its
head thus far and prevented serious
disorder. The Dreyfus affair, ranging
as it did the jew party against the
army, BODIES no good for the former,
inasmuch as but for the army the mob
could not be restrained from attacking
the Jews The old religious and race
is powerful factor, added
to economic conditions. The Angle
Slxons are the only people with whom
the Jews seem 10 be able to live in
pc ice. The French admit that our
people are capable of competing with
the Jews. but that they are not. In
England and America there is almost
no prejudice against The dispersed peo-
pie, who have suffered SO sadly for
their crime of crucifying the Savior
and for their necnliarifies In hnsiness

CLEVER BUNCO SCHEME
A, B. CAMPBELL CHARGED WITH
FLEECING F. SEAGRAVE
SECURED $500 IN GOLD
The Defendant Represented Himself
to Be Patton of Davies-Patton
Lumber Company

The reviewing Of what Is purported 10 be
one Of the cleverest swindles ever worked
on the unsuspecting public of Los An
geles was commenced yesterday in the
trial Of A. B. Campbell, now In progress
before Judge Smith. The charge against
Campbell is classified as grand larceny, and
consists In the crime of having buncoed
Fred Seagrave, an ex-employe of the
Southern Pacific company, out of $500 in
a manner that was both neat and original.
Campbell, 1t is claimed, was not alone in
this delicate undertaking, but had an as
sociate in crime in the person of d. e.
Spencer, now in the county Jail awaiting
his turn at the "bat," which will follow
when Campbelrs fate Is decided by the
jury.
Fred Seagrave Of S34 South Hope street
is the complaining witness. He is an ex-
employe Of the Southern Pacific and is said
to bear a good reputation, while Campbell
is little known in the city, and that little
is nothing to his credit.
On the witness stand yesterday Seagrave
told the story of the alleged swindle, and
IN view of past events one could not but
be filled with a certain respect for the high
order of the work supposed TO have been
done by Campbell and Spencer.
The witness stated that few days prior
to May 81, he noticed IN advertisement in
one of She local papers in which 1t was
stated that a good collector was needed
by firm in the city, and that those wish

An Unlucky Boy

Johnny Brown. a boy about IA years OF
oge, was attended at the receiving hos
pital by DR.. Hagan last evening for frac-
ture of both wrists. The little fellow suf-
fered very much. as 1t was some time be-
fore he went to the hospital after he re-
ceived the injury. He claims that he fell
out of a tree in an alley running from Sixth
street to Seventh, between Main and
Spring streets, while picking walnuts. On
the other hand. some of his boy friends as
sert that Johnnie was playing In the shed
back of his home at No 513ia South Spring
street at the time a fire started. He
scrambled out along with the other boys
and fell down and broke his wrists. The
boys mother says that he was not near
the house at the time of the fire. He VIII
be removed to the county hospital today.
This is not the first occasion Johnnie has
been at the receiving hospital. Last
Fourth of July he shot away portion of
one of the fingers on his left hand, and
was then attended by DR.. Hagon.

MAIN STREET ASSESSMENT
Property Owners Sued for Payment of
Asphalt Work

The old Main street paving trouble occu-
pied the attention of the city council for
many weeks, and was brought into court
yesterday in the shape of foreclosure suit.
to which Albert Hadley, contractor, was
seeking to secure payment from the Main
street property owners for asphalt work
from Ninth street TO Thirty-seventh street.
The suit on trial yesterday before Judge
Van Dyke was only against S. p. Mattison,
S. A. Mattison and n. A. Story. While
this particular suit involves only about
$500. it is in the nature of a test case and
will carry with it a judgment of between
$50 900 and $40 600.
The first contract let by the city to John
T Long was unsatisfactory. and the coun-
ell refused to accept the job. Long was
compelled to remove the surface. He as
signed his contract to Albert Hadley and
the work, after much dispute, was accept
ed by the council on June l. 1897. On the
2Gth the street superintendent levied an
assessment, but the property owners re-
fused to pay 1t. because they claim that the
work was not done according to contract
The case was further argued yesterday
and was submitted on briefs. Whatever
the decision may be, there Is little doubt
but that the case will be appealed.

Changed His Mind

There is considerable speculation about
the action of ]. H. Griffin, who was con-
victed by jury Of eight in Justice owens
court Wednesday on the charge OF dis
turbing the peace. Griffin is from San
Francisco, but came here, it Is said, to
show the Republicans some practical poll
tics. He undertook to give his first lesson
by snatching the ballot box at Republi-
can primary. last August. He and a COM
panion' were caught, however, and both
charged with disturbing the peace. 1t was
ascertained that no more serious offense
could be charged against them. GriHin
was said to have been willing to plead
guilty to that charge, provided a fine of
no more than 500 would be levied against
him. II was supposed all alor(s that he
would enter a plea of guilty, but for some
reason he refused to do SO and stood trial
with the result that he was acquitted. A
peculiar feature about the trial was the
fact that none of the witnesses could re-

IN Which L. B. Cohn Claims to Have
Got the Worst of It

An alleged land swindle was aired in a
9uit on trial in Department six yesterday.
The action was brought by l.. b. Cohn
against William ]. Kelly to quiet title to
thirteen lots in the w. ]. and Bessie Kelly
subdivision, which Kelly claims he owns
The unusual part of the proceedings is the
fact that the defendant Is the one to make
all the charges of fraud.
Kelly claims that he has owned the prop
erty in question for the past ten years, and
that it is valued at $1,000. In August, 1896,
he wished to raise some money, so mort
gagged the property to one Thomas for
S17O0. On tie 5th of October of the same
year he gave a second mortgage to J. L.
Pavkovich for S72. On April 18th of this
year he owed s10362 interest. besides the
principal To help to raise the money he
secured work on the Laughln building
While at work there, he testified, j. +.
johnson, local real estate man, came to
him and said that unless he paid Thomas
the mortgage that afternoon the latter
would foreclose He did not wish to lose
his property for something like $780, so
went up to see Thomas. johnson was there.
and represented to Kelly that he had a
good piece of alfalfa land in Orange, and
that they might bring about an exchange
whereby Cohn would assume all incum-
brances then standing against the prop
erty.
The offer seemed reasonable. so Kelly
went down ana examined the orange prop
erty, which he found was worth about
1880. He returned. saw Johnson, who tried
to induce him to exchange for the land and
give a mortgage of $1,000. He refused, and
stated that Thomas would have to give him
$1,000 if he wanted the deal to go through.
Thomas. on his part. refused, but they
finally settled the matter by Thomas
agreeing to throw in ten lots in the town of
Carlsbad. which he claimed were worth
about $1,000. Kelly had never seen the lots.
but upon Johnson's representatio tions agreed
to the exchange, but asked a few days time
to think about it. Johnson said that was
all right, but asked that the deeds and
mortgage be placed in escrow with the
Title Insurance and Trust company, with
the further agreement between the parties
that the deeds should not be delivered un-
til April 20.
Prior to that time Kelly discovered
that the lots in Carlsbad were worthless
and nothing that Cohn and Johnson had
