A email-sized hegi'ra of fair visitors will be perceptible today. From tbe amount of building that is going on in this city no one would for a moment suppose that the financial con striction all over tbe country has had tbe slightest effect upon the go-ahead prosperity of Los Angeles. Our lines are indeed cast in pleasant places. Tim drop in pork yesterday, from $18.75 to $9 per barrel is unprecedented. It carried down many strong men, and although the price subsequently rallied, it was not sufficient to enable those who had bought at tbe higher prices? to re cover themselves. Wheat down to zero and now pork in the slump, are evi dences of a dislocation of the markets that is very trying. But the country is healthy and strong and will come out of tbe ordeal before long. A successful experiment has been made in San Francisco with a new stor age battery car. It was run over one of the street railroads aod is said to have worked to the entire satisfaction of the parties interested in promoting this new style of electrical motor. Whether the test Was sufficient to show that tbe bat teries will la« long enough to make the storage plan commercially profitable is not known, but the eecretary oi the company is confident that it will. The advantage oi the storage battery inven tion, if it piove sucaessful, is that it will do away with the cumbrous and un sightly trolley system, and prove far more economical than that system, for tbe reason that it will waste no power in constantly keeping extensive lines of wire charged with electricity, while the contact ia only ueiug it in few places. The Btorage batteriea on these cars can be supplied with motive power for 100 miles, and the rate of speed can be kept up to 40 miles an hour. The informa tion that comes to us of Ibis experiment is not full enough to justify us in coming to definite conclusions upon its practical value. But one oi the street car lines in San Francisco is very earnest in its de sire to adopt the new system, and we shall therefore soon know whether it is what the inventor claims. At least thirty thousand of the men who have been thrown out of work in the Bilver mines of Colorado and other states are compelled to go elsewhere to seek a living. But few of these men have saved enough money to pay their way to othei states in quast of employ ment ; but they will get transportation and gradually force their way east. Mis souri has set tbe bad example of looking upon these men as vncrautg or paupers, and haß invoked tbe laws to keep such persons out of the state against these miners thrown out oi work by the war made upon silver. This is certainly an indefensible abuse oi those lawß. These men are not vagrants or paupers in the senße which the laws contemplate. They are merely the victims who are fitßt to acutely feel a great national mis fortune brought about by bad economic laws and false financial conditions. It is no fault of theirs that silver, by de monetization and the hostility of the gold bugs of Lombard and Wall streets, baa been so greatly reduced in value that the owners of mines are compelled to discontinue its production. Being thus thrown out of work they have the undoubted right to enter any state in the union to seek for other kinds of work. To class these willing men as vagrants and paupers is an outrage on decent interpretation. THE SQUARE THING—A BIMETALLIC STANDARD. A most delightful thing it would be to have all people happy. And yet this condition of felicity seems to be almost unattainable. In the United States we seem to be possessed by a people who, in large : measure, are not in sympathy with tbe natural evolution of the American con tinent. There is no possibility of ignor ing the fact that the policy inaugurated by Mr. Preston as director of the mint is not acceptable to the American peo ple. This gentleman has announced it to be his purpose to accept the quota tions of silver from England. That there has been a wide, and, in fact, uni versal repugnance to this attitude o' an American official, goes without saying. The fact is that at every stage of the controversy between monometallism and bi-metallism the United States and all American nations have been grossly betrayed. There is a great question as to whether the administration of President Cleve lend has bad a chance of expressing its own volition on the point of gold and silver. The President has been embar rassed by two cardinal propositions in the matter. In the first place, the gold bugs have bodily assumed him as be longing to their number. In his proc lamation calling a special session he seems to have leaned to this element of bis party. It comes from that portion of his party with which he is not closely affiliated. But Cleveland has shown a remarkable ability to dissociate himself from ideas which have been hitherto accepted as dominating bim. He won the last election for his party and him self by giving great prominence to the tariff issue, and yet, in his special mes sage, he gave not so much as a compli mentary mention to the tariff. A gen tleman with such a wide range of selec tion as to national topics cannot be as sumed to have exhausted his surprises. In the second propositions which the president will be compelled to discnss in bis message to the special session of con gress he will, if he is wise, dissociate himself from Wall street. If he should devote himself to the true interests of the United States and of mankind he will feel that he must be respectful to the standing of gold and silver as gen uine standards of values since the earliest dawn of history. Taking np the subject from this historical point of view, he can not fail to note the fact that the earliest purchase of land in history was that made by Abraham, of tbe field of Mac pelah, which he paid for in talents of silver. With silver demonetized, we are face to face with the fact that the most ye nerable money metal in the history of antiquity was attempted to be demone tized in 1873, and that tbe consum mation of that unspeakable iniquity is sought to be consummated now. Will it be consummated ? We unhes itatingly say that it will not. The peo ple of the United States are rallying en masse to prevent the completion of this great fraud. Without discussfng in de tail the movement of the Chicago con vention, now in session, in the interest of the white metal, we have no hesita tion in expressing our opinion that its utterance will be so wise, patriotic and resonant that no American Congress will dare to disregard [its dictum. Why should tbe American people range themselves in line with tbe people of England, in order to assist that imper rious nation in putting a ring in tho nose and a shackle en the ankle of the debtor nations? Certainly the United States will not be a party to this great infamy. We have no hesitation in expressing our belief that tbe special session of congress will proclaim itself in favor of the old and right prescription of the moneys of the constitution of the United States, viz,, a parity of the precious metals on the proposition of sixteen ounces of silver to one of gold. In taking thin stand we shall not only place the two precious metals on a parity, but we shall place tbe poor people of the whole world on a square and equal footing. THE BENEDICT PLAN. The plan proposed by Henry If, Bene dict, a well known New York financier, to maintain silver at a parity with gold, is attracting much attention, and many believe that its adoption by congress would solve the great problem that ev erybody is now anxious to Bee success fully worked out. Mr. Benedict simply proposes that all paper money in circulation shall be re tired. He truly says that paper money represents nothing unless it is backed by a cash reserve, and that it is at all times liable to fluctuations that war or other great national calamities may bring about. He would have the paper circula tion replaced by silver and gold. In or der to bring the valuation of silver up to that of gold, he would establish a fund, which would be sacred, to maka up the difference between the value of the sil ver coined and its equivalent in gold. This fund could be adjusted to tbe fluc tuations once a year. Then the differ ence between the value of every silver dollar coined and a gold dollar would be guaranteed by the deposit in the fund, so that the silverdollar, plus the backing in the fund, would actually be equivalent to a gold dollar. Hia method of providing this fond ie to place into it the seignorage the gov ernment makes on coinage. He saje that the silver seignorage received by the government already amounts to $72,000,000, and that that of right be longs to silver as a reserve. It has been LOS ANGELES HERALD, WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 2, 1893. covered into tbe treasury and paid out as an unappropriated balance for gen eral purposes, and in this way the peo ple have had the benefit of it and can afford to have it put back into the fund. With the retiracy of the United States notes, the occasion for keeping the $100, --000,000 of gold reserve to baok them would disappear. The seignorage profit derived from coining silver bullion held for treasury notes in 1890 amounted to $24,000,000 and this would go into the fund. All these resources would be more than sufficient to establish a guarantee fund that would be larger in amount than would be necessary to represent tbe differences now existing between the market value of silver as compared with the valne of gold. Mr. Benedict says that the fund re quired to establish an equivalent at the present time would be $140,000,000. This would make every silver dollar issued worth a gold dollar, and it is Claimed that with this facl established and accepted by the people the Gresham law, which retires the more valuable of two metals from circulation, would be necessarily inoperative. There is no doubt that with such a plan free coinage could be maintained. But Mr. Benedict points oat another fact which has been the subject of much discussion, and which has been produc tive of no small degree of adverse criti cism upon our methods of finance. The national banks have been required to secure their issue of notes by the deposit of 90 per cent of that issue in govern ment bonds, the banks drawing the interest upon those bonds so deposited. He says that these banks have received $250,000,000 in interest from the govern ment on these bonds in twenty-five years. In other words, the people have actually paid that amount to the banks to give them the privilege of issu ing notes. As this privilege would be withdrawn nnder his plan that interest could hereafter be applied to the fund to guarantee the parity of silver with gold. Mr. Benedict's plan is worthy of seri ous consideration. It appears on its face to be practicable and efficient to ac complish the purpose for which it is de signed. But whether it would be suc cessful in reconciling the people to the retiring of government paper money from circulation we doubt. This money is considered, especially by eastern peo ple, as more desirable for general circu lation than coin; but our experience on this coast, where hard money has al ways been tbe circulating medium, has habituated us to it, and we have fonnd no inconvenience from either its bulk or weight. The people at the east would soon accommodate themselves to coin if it became tbe general medium of circu lation. After all, it is like any other thing that becomes a fashion, the peo ple take to it, and when they have once become need to it tbey wonder that they could ever have entertained either a prejudice or objection to it. The only people who look upon the Colombian's world's fair exhibited from the point oi view of a lottery are the duke of Veragna and bis brother, the marquis of Barboles. The latter gentle man is annoyed that his elder brother should bs the beneficiary of tbe alms extended by the American people to wards his brother, the duke of Veragua. He thinks that he ought to have from one-third to one-fourth of this benefac tion. As tbe dnke has signified his will ingness to rake in tbe whole scot, and the marquis is known to faint at every station, the American national alms will probably go to the more robust elder brother. The American people would show a good deal of good sense by making tbe sum small. Old Cripto foro Columbo himself would doubtloss sbow his good sense by making this eleemosynary sum nothing. It seems to be established that the great Columbian world's fair in Chicago will be a pecuniary failure. The gate receipts are not satisfactory, and are in Stout the ratio of 50 per cent, of what was expected. This is really not extra ordinary. About everybody in Chicago or elsewhere finds that he is poorer than he expected, and he goeß to Chi cago and spends his money just about in this retrenched standard. SOCIETY. An enjoyable dancing party was given at Larrabee's ball on West Fifth street on Monday evening. The event was in the nature of a farewell to Miss Bucklin who will shortly leave for an extended vißit to Youngstown, Ohio, her former home, and other points in the east. The affair was one of tbe most suc cessful of tbe informal dance 9 given by the following gathering of young society people: Those present were Misses Bucklin, Tonner, Gerichton of San Diego, Street oi Phoenix, Cora Goodrish, Lillian Well born, Dit Wellborn, Wick 9of Galvee ton, Braly, Tattle, Pattee, Mrs. Chans lor, Miss Kimble.

A representative of th* people in th* United Btates senate should not be bound by iron-clad con victions, fettered to specific theories or demands from which he can neither re cede nor advance. He is tbe member of a national jury, and his duty is largely that of any juror. He is expected to demand the fullest information on all matters that will require his ballot and to decide according to hiu best judgment of truth and merit. The interests of his own state, on tbe other hand, must be an influence with thia juror—a strong factor in tbe evi dence submitted —but such interests can be rightfully determinedly no narrow conception of what is best for the given locality. The state is always a part of the nation ; the state's representative is a member of tbe national body and his obligations are not merely to tbe con stituency from which he is chosen. Regarding 'in tbat way the work which has been assigned to me, I make no promises; I commit myself to no other policy than to eel according to my beat judgment. Yet I have opinions and am free to express them. The silver question will undoubtedly be the first important matter submitted to congress, to be brought up by the proposed repeal of the Sherman law. I may say in broad terms that on the silver question I am in favor of bi metallism. Monetary legislation is a national problem. It should be so solved, with out undo* consideration of the inter national aspect tbat makes it lean one way or of the state benefits that make it lean tbe other way. I believe that the double standard is the best means of representing valcee in this country, There is no danger of putting too much silver in circulation, and I would like to as* four or five millions of the silver dollars now in our vaults put out and used a* subsidiary coin. No rightful means of developing Cal ifornia and the Pacific coast should be neglected in congress. The construc tion of tbe Nicaragua canal is of vaßt importance to us and should be urged at erery opportunity. Within our state are natural water ways that should be adequately opened up to navigation, particularly the Sacra mento, the San Joaquin and the Feather rivers. The large revenues that we pay to the federal government should be re turned, to a fair degree, in such means of reaching the great natural wealth of thia land. lighthouses should mark tbe Califor nia coast sufficiently to protect the ves sels In tbe carrying, trade. And among the demands which California may just ly make is the erection of a enitable postoffice building in San Francisco. Tbe regulation of hydraulic mining concerns largely the wealth of this por tion of tbe country, I believe that there shoo Id be no restriction where mining can be carried on without positive in jury to other industries of equal import ance. Even tfie smaller interests of a farmer must be protected, however, when tbe mine owners encroach upon his rights without giving just compensa tion. I believe that Dnited States senators should be chosen by popular vote. That is the way I want to reach tbe senate if I ever go there again. Th* same right tbat the people have in all otb~ el*** tions should not be denied M"»m in the choice of representative* to tbe upper hous« of cona-ese. Such aro my views, in brief, concern ing some of the leading topics in which a California senator might bffyxpMted to have special interest, but I nmtee no declaration ol future action aad *ispe*V of nothing about which I rttn not'ready to learn.

Mike Gray received a letter today from hie son, John, dated Rocker, July 24tb, in which he gives th? particulars of a visit 1 a d to one of their camps last Sunday morning by Kid, toe Apache, and four companions. Die raid occurred before daylight at Mulberry. The dogs barked and made a great noise, hot it was cloudy, and so dark that nothing could be eeen of tbe marauders. Tlrey succeeded in getting two horses from the band, and made an unsuccessful attemot to get tbe saddle horse which Mr. Gray bad picketed. The animal broke the picket rope and gave them tbe slip. As soon sb daylight came a hurried mount was made and the trail followed until it was lost in the rocks. Tbe In dians went through Price'B c*fi"m. They left one horse behind them belonging to Fred Ruch's brand, whose range is in tbe San Simon valley near Bowie. Tbe horse wore rawhide shoee, and had been ridden nearly to death. The In dians wore moccasins, and there was no doubt of their having been five of them. It is altogether likely that they are bound for the Sierra Madre mountains in Minora. There is nothing to hinder their progress, as Lieut. Wallace and command ate at Bowie getting paid off for last month's work in Unole Sam's vineyard. NEW-FANGLED ROBBERY. A Thief Attempts to Hold Up a Meth odist Prayer Meeting. Council Blofps, la., Aug. I.—The latest scheme in the way of robbery de veloped here tonight.

The ball struck a truss worn by (ioff and was deflected, doing nc sarious injury. The robber then fled. A Victoiy for the Navahoe. London, Aug.
