The Herald's weekly review ol Southern California mining news shows a most satisfactory activity, and a par ticular energy in the conduct of gold properties. The depression of silver will have at least one good effect in bending all the energies of our miners towards finding the yellow metal. 001. R. S. Baker's plan of transform ing tbe Baker block into an elegant natatorinm, by means of the salt arte sian well he haß developed in the rear ol that building, is very fascinating. It should prove to be a public blessing ac well as a highly remunerative invest ment. ____________ The midwinter fair project is all right, but its projectors should not presume tbat Gov. Markham has political pa resis, by imagining that he can be pre vailed upon to call an extra session of the legislature in order to procure ap propriations. The governor is not likely to deprive Senator Perkins of his seat before he bas had a chance to warm it. (As usual the Herald comes to the ront first with the news. It published yesterday among a number of exclusive items of interest, the fact that the de positors of the City bank had com menced suit against tbe stockholders. It is said by those who ought to know that in the legal business growing out of this failure tbe civil branch of the courts will not have a monopoly of the pro ceedings. ____________ It is greatly to be hoped that there will cot be % repetition in the City bank of the experience had with tbe Tempje & Workman bank, years ago, in wind ing np its affaire. It will be remem bered that the vast aaaets of tho latter bank, including the greet eetates of Mr. Temple and Mr. Workman were all ■wallowed up in the maelstrom of litiga tion that followed the suspension of that bank. Thi failure of the Pacific bank in San Francisco and itn dealings with some Riverside institutions, as outlined in another column, causes the query, What do the state bank commissioners give id return for their salaries? These highly paid officials, who as a rule are given their fat positions as a reward for political services rather than because of their qualifications, appear to have been asleep while all the rottenness in dicated has been carried on, while At torney General Hart seems to have followed the same disastrous policy of inaction. They all appear as actors in a sorry farce, and should be relegated to private lk'e, where their opportunity to wreak public injury by means of their private incapacity will be curtailed. That Ccunty Horticultural Officer John Scott ie an honest and capable offi cer is the testimony of thoße who know him; but it iB evident that he should give more attention to making bis re cords complete and plain in all details. The county officials Btate tbat he is in the habit of turning iump Bums into the treasury without Bpeciiications as to bow or from whom they were collected, and the clerk of the board of supervisors states that the commissioner has not filed monthly reports as required by statute. This may be all right for a man of Mr. Bcott's widely acknowledged high character, but it is none the less to be severely critized. Such methods es tablish bad precedents, and might be idopted by men of less reputation for Integrity with ulterior motives. THE DAY AND THE HOUR. It may be truly said that thie day ie big with fate to tho countrj. Congress will meet in extraordinary cession, called especially ior the purpose of con sidering the financial eituation, and passing each laws as it may consider necessary for the relief ol the people. It may not, and possibly wi'l not, confine itself to financial questions, bnt will probably take the tariff problem into serious consideration. The primary cause of the present wide-spread busi ness disturbance, carrying with it the conditions tbat have led up to the finacial panic, is the attempt to turn the country over to the monopolists by the adoption of a tariff which has been well termed the abomination of abominations. We have no doubt congress will take hold of this root of the evil at once, and relieve the country from a tariff which has actually placed the sovereign power of taxation in the hands of the monopo listic corporations. There will undoubtedly be a strenuous effort to repeal the Sherman law, with out substituting any measure to sustain silver in its etead. As near as we can judge from tbe strong determination evinced by leading men of both houses, thie effort will be resisted to the death. To repeal the Sherman act, without pro viding any compensating silver legisla tion, would be suicidal. The country wants both metals as a basis of circula tion, and to repeal the Sherman act and leave the matter there would be in fact to entirely demonetize silver and place us exclusively on a gold basis.' To do this, especially at a time when the coun try is sorely in need of money, would be like as if a man were struggling for life in the ocean, only held up by a plank under each arm, and somebody should come along and take away one of these planks. He wonld by that act lose half his chances to float into safety. There iB but one thing congress can do on this silver subject that will eatiefy the people and resi.re the confidence of the country. It must legislate for the preservation of silvsr as one of our money metals and do whatever it can to practically establish its parity with gold. To do this our representatives must en tirely divest their minds of any consid eration of the policy of Great Britain on tbe subject of the white metal. We want to be a law unto ourselves in rela tion to our silver policy, and the eooner we cut loose from Lombard street and establish an American system, the sooner will we be emancipated from the evil power which English gold bugs have exercised over our finances. IN A BAD FIX. The Union Pacific Railway company is in a position that may resnlt very disastrously to that corporation and compel the government to take hold oi the road to save itself from the loss of all the vast millions it loaned that com pany in the guarantee of bonds. Should tbe government be compelled to save itself by foreclosing it will find the road in very bad condition financially, and perhaps may find that any attempt to extricate it from the difficulties reck less management has brought apon it would necessitate tbe very questionable experiment of Bending good money after bad. There is to be a special session of the directors held tomorrow in Boston. Tnis meeting has been called to con sider tbe gravity of the situation in which the road finds itself. By tbe enormoqs extension of its trackage through vast regions of aterile and un peopled country it has so crippled its resources that it finds itself in times of panic and scarcity of money in a posi tion which is calculated to make its di rectory feel desperate. Comptroller Mink haß drawn this dismal picture of the present aspect of the affairs of the great corporation: The enormous trackage of the Union Pacific west of North Platte givea little hope of yielding satisfactory returns for 90, and possibly for 120 days. The wes tern section of this continent is in a condition that absolutely requires from na most aggressive attempts at retrench ment. The movelnent of commodities is stopped to our great detriment. Our yards are filled with empty freight cars and our engines are lying idle in round houses, due to stagnation in business. Bedrock has been reached, but we will be compelled to reduce the forceß still further, and may possibly have to cut salaries to meet present exigencies. This laat is a step which we will discuss very conservatively before taking ac tion, but it will probably have to be I considered. To the region or country travereed by the Union Pacific it holds the same re lation aa that sustained by the Southern Pacific in the empire it has ruled so completely for tbe past 3J years. Added to its eet purpose of arraying all classes of people agaiust it, the Union Pacific policy haß been disastrous through lack of plain, ordinary business judgment. It haa built long lines of road to far distant points in order to shut out possi ble competition, traversing hundreds of miles of desolate, unproductive country to do thie, and neglecting the building oi branch lineß in Eastern Nebraska and Kansas from which local traie could be drawn. We have no fear that a great trunk road like tho Union Pacific, so necessary to the business of the continent, will be closed up under auy circumstances. But its present difficulties may fores congress to anticipate action on the sub ject of its enormous debt to the govern ment. Wnat that action will be it is just now impossible to foreshadow. If the Populist doctrine that the owner ship of the great trunk roads Bhould be in the government, and that they should be operated in the interest alone of the people should prevail, there could be no better opportunity of tentatively testing the practical effect of this theory than is presented by tbe Union Pacific. For our part, we have never had any faith in the practical application of this theory to the complete operation by the government of great lines of railways. We have, however, been greatly im pressed with the value of the suggestion that the government should be the LOS ANGELES HERALPt MOKPAY MUKISiIKG. AUGUST 7, ib'ja. owner and regulator of one or more great trunk railroads transvers ing the country on cardinal lines. The government would furnish the read bede, keep them in sate repair, regulate and control the time tablet, and grant wheelage over them to all companies, private or nubile, wish ing to use them. If the Union Paotfie falls into tbe hands of the government and the wheelage theory were to be pot in practice, congress would donbtlete mske tbe line complete and continuous by also takfng the Central Pacific road into the schsme. With wheelage, open to all roads and all companies owning rolling etock, across the entire conti nent, we might put to a fair practical test, in in its most important part, the leading theory ol the Populists abont the government ownership ol railroads. Tbe wheelage ol a great trunk railroad could be superintended and carried on by the war departmsat, by adopting the quasi-fiction that the government wae performing one of its constitutional 'functions in providing the country with military and postal roads. But the other extreme, of the government ope rating great railroads In all their branches and all their multifarious ram ifications, would lead to a system ol political patronage ol prodigious extent, and become a source oi dangerous de moralization and corruption that would lead to the most alarming consequences. HAS HE DONE HIS FULL DUTY? Attorney Oeneral Hart has called down on himself the Bevere criticism of the press and the public by his ques tionable acts on several occasions. He seems, however, to be a man wrapped np in himself and callous to censure, whether just or unjust. When it was accidentally discovered by the state con troller's office that he had received some $18,000 on judgments in favor of the state ia suits brought by him foi the harbor commissioners, and that he bad not offered to cover that money into the treasury for nearly two years, he' was investigated by tbe legislature witb very unsatisfactory results. His lame reason was tbat he was in doubt as to which of the state funds it ought to be credited to, and taking the benefit of the doubt he held on to tbe money him self. The revelations made by the examin ation into the affairs of the Pacific bank will again bring np the question wheth er he is a conscientious and efficient officer or not, aud we are very much dis posed to adopt the views which the Oakland Enquirer has come to as to the correctness or defensibility of his con duct-as a etate official with reference to this rotton financial institution. In December, 1891, tbe bank commis sioners notified tbe attorney general that the bank was doing business by unsafe methods, in order that the attor ney general might need the powers vested in bis office to force the bank to square itself or go ont of business. He did nothing of the sort, and a year after ward tbe commissioners again notified Attorney General Hart that the bank was "nnaafe." It was hia duty, if he fonnd it insolvent, to wind up this bank, ' but he let matters take tbeir course, ana the instituticu ran along sir months more, waiting 'or such a disaster as the recent loss of confidence to precipitate it into acknowledged insolvency. When tbe inevitable shake came the Pacific bank fell down just as naturally as a cracked and shattered shell of a building collapses when the first earthquake comes When the bank failed an exposure waa made of its liabilities and assets, and lo! among the debtors was Attorney- General Hart. He owed the hank $28, --000. Had this debt been the reason why he did not proceed against the bank ? Was he blinded to his duty by self-intere3t? Was the $28,000 the price of his silence and inaction? The attorney general, of course, answers ''no" to these questions, and states that he took no action against the bank because he did not consider it insolvent. But even if we assume tbat be is telling the strict truth ill saying this, the situation is a bad one. The holder of an office as high as that of at torney general must avoid the appear ance of evil as well as the reality of it. He has no moral right to owe $28,000 to a bank which ho is protecting against official allegations of unsaie methods and a perilous financial condition. It Is a Beauty.

The Pacific Bank's Branch at Riverside. Bank Commissioners Condemn It, bnt Allow it to Continno. They Wrote Some Letters and Then Ap parently Went to Slsep—The Date as It Appears From Recent Developments. There have been some startling dis closures during the past week regarding at least two of the banks which sus pended some time ago. The banks re ferred to are the Pacific bank of San Francisco and the Riverside Banking company of Riverside. To show that adverse reports of both institutions were made by* the bank commissioners as far back as December, 1891, the following was sent to the Pacific bank by the commissioners: Referring to our examination of the Pacific bank, made December 7, 8 and 9, 1891, we hereby respectfully submit the following instructions, as provided by section 11 of an act creating this board: First—Real estate. Sell all except bank premises. Second—Madera bank, John Brown colony, $140,000. Undertake at once each negotiations as will enable you to dispose of this enterprise, and avoid a further outlay on thie account. Fourth—Riverside Banking company, $375,000. Reduce this balance as rap idly as possible to $50,000. The personal guarantee of R. H. Mc- Donald that all these instruction are to be complied with at once is accepted by this board in lieu of other proceedings that might be deemed necessary in the premises. Yours respectfully, B. McL. Habmsty. Then come the following letters refer ring to what tbe Chronicle calls the "branch bank at Riverside": December 15, 1891. William H. H. Hart, Attorney General, jj.nte ol California, » Dear Sir—ln onr recent examination ol the Pacific bank, San Francisco, we find that the Riverside Banking com pany of Riverßide is indebted to the Pacific bans: in the sum of $275,000. We have before expressed our opinion to you of the Riverside Banking com pany, and we are now obliged to report the same to yon ac doing an unsafe business, for the amount of tbe above indebtedness is bo large that it exhibitß a necessity for borrowing. We have given this bank much attention. It is now endeavoring to increaee its capital, which, if succeeafnl, will place it in a reasonably fair condition, but should there be in the meantime any extraor dinary demand upon it we fear it could not meet it. Yours respectfully, Board of Bank Commissioners. May 5, 1892. H«n. William H. H. Hart, Attorney General, &&crameato, Cal Dgab Sib—Herewith we ben to hand yon report of the Riverside Banking company, in compliance with section 11 of the act creating this board and to ad vise yon that for a longer period this bank haa given this commission great concern. Everything has been done to force up the management to a proper realisation of its condition, but these efforts have broil i« rr.in, 01111 "bIU .lr*!r,v W«n solely in the belief that its affairs conld be improved the matter is now submit ted to you for such action afyon may deem proper. Very respectfully, B. McL. Harpisty. The Pacific bank and tbe 'Riverside Backing company were then called on by the commissioners for certain infor mation, and Attorney General J9.art was notified of the fact. ." The correspondence quoted fa taken from the Chronicle, anent which the Riverside Enterprise of yesterday morn ing haa the following to say editorially : "The conduct of Attorney-General Hart is inexplicable to any one who roads the reports and repeated warn ings, given to him by tbe commission ers, in reference to these two institu tions. It is charitable to suppose that he acted on a mistaken belief that matters might be patched np and a crash avert ed. It does not seem probable, in view of tbe past week's disclosures, that he will pursue thie course of non-interfer ence much longer. "Tbe disclosures that have been made place tbe failures of the banks in a somewhat new light. They were not like many solvent institutions which were forced to suspend but have since resumed—the victims of financial strin gency and gentral hard times. Tbey belong in quite a different category. If the commissioners are to be believed, they weri, uhaky concerns, recklessly managed, and in constant danger of col lapse, even under favorable circum stances. In? truth concerning: them haa beeu long suppressed. It is well that the facts have at last come out." Identifying lost Articles. A theatrical manager turned traitor and.tojd this story on his friend who had just finished speaking: "I went in to see Billy's miserable show the other night and camo out in eucji a hurry that I left behind me the gold bandied umbrella which Irving, Bernhardt and Coquolin cjubbed togeth er and knight for mo for giving them tho great est business ever known on this hemisphere.
