Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-08-14
An Explanation.

Yesterdays HERALD contained the
reflections of an old citizen of Los
Angeles after visiting Santa Barbara"
The reflections were comparisons be-
tween the improvements of the two
places named, and Los Angeles suf-
fered by the comparison. The "old
citizen" then lapses into the world of
wonder, and wonders why Santa Bar
bara should have paved streets, i'm
proved sidewalks and fine public build
ings, while Los Angeles with her
large population and great wealth is
noticeably deficient in these improve
ments. These queries may all be an
swered, though we doubt if the correct
answers will add to our city's credit at
home rherreputation abroad. A sim
gle item will illustrate the situation
of affairs and clearly explain why Los
Angeles has no more to show for her
money-why we have not more graded
streets and more fine public buildings:
A little sewer on Commercial street
not exceeding three hundred feet in
length, made of wood and very shall
low in the ground, cost the city t,oenty-
seven thousand dollars! The contract
price for which this work was to be
done was less than five thousand dol
lars, but careful manipulation by ex-
perienced manipulators, manipulated
the taxpayers out of the enormous
sum above mentioned for this short
sewer. In 1858 the municipal man.
ayers managed to dispose of many
hundred acres of valuable land
owned by the city for mere song
which song, we are told, some
of the city authorities sung them
selves and consequently received the
reward. The land was then worth ten
or twenty times more than it sold for,
and to-day is worth q hundred-fold
more than was realized from it. These
facts explain in part why Los Angeles
has no graded streets and elegant pub
lie buildings, but there is still another
reason for her poverty-taxation is
not equal. The city is defrauded of
her revenue. The poor man and man
of moderate means are taxed for all
they are worth. Some of our rich
men pay taxes on a fair valuation of
their property, but others do not.
While twenty thousand dollar resi-
dence is taxed at five thousand dol
lars and while fifteen thousand dol
lars worth of personal property is put
down at five hundred dollars, the city
cannot obtain her legitimate revenue.
The fastening of high rates on small
bits of property and the heavy taxa
ton of men of small means will not
make up this loss. We need not cite
other instances. Enough has been
shown to explain how dearly the city
has paid for her work, and how inn
perfectly her revenue is collected.
" Old Citizen," new citizen, anybody,
can see why Los Angeles has only q
few fine public buildings, and few
mites of graded streets. A city that
is wronged both ways-by those who
owe her and those she employs-can do
but little in the way of public i'm
provement. We trust these remarks
will afford citizen 60 G." food for still
further reflections.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-08-14
The Lowest Bidder.

1t is poor rule that will not work
both ways, and we cannot see why
public office shonld be made an excep-
ton to a rule that seems to work adj
mirably when applied to almost any
other business proposition. To illus
trate: If the Board of Supervisors
have a bit of printing to be done,
worth at fair price ten or twelve dol
lars, they instruct the Clerk to go
around to all the printing offices and
get the bids of each for the work, and
to the lowest is awarded the job,
at figure that would starve
any human being but printer to
death. This is all right; we do not
complain, nor will any other printing
house in town; but why not apply the
lowest bidder principle to the Board of
Supervisors and to all other offices that
pay salary, per eentage or per diem?
Can't we dispose of the next vacant
seat in the Board on the lowest bidder
principle-to the man who will do the
work for the lowest possible remunera-
ton? Members of the Board will not,
of course, object to q rule which they
apply to the most insignificant trans
actions.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-08-14
Coming together.

When told that the Methodist
Church would split and thenceforth
be known as the Northern Methodists
and the Southern Methodists, HENRY
CLAY said the event would be the en-
tering wedge which would divide the
Union. The old statesman spoke as a
wise man but not quite as a prophet.
The Union was harder to divide than
he anticipated, yet the ''entering
wedge" made a frightful rent in the
Union fabric. The Church divided
and for decade each section regarded
the other more in the light Of an
enemy than of an assemblage of
brothers in the name of the Lord.
The world is not so bad as appearances
sometimes indicate. These people did
not hate each other as cordially as
the secular masses seemed to think.
They were wide apart it was true;
there was broad, deep gulf between
them, but some of the wisest and best
on either side had hopes of future
reconciliation and unity. They be-
lieved that faith, sincerity and char
ity would bridge over and fill up the
abyss that separated the two diver
sions of their Church. The first at
tempts to overcome the barrier pro-
duced so little effect as to almost dis
courage the most sanguine. But the
workers persevered, and after many
months there was perceptible stretch
ing out of hands from both sides.
The yearning for old friends grew
stronger and stronger, and ministers
from the North and South began to
meet on neutral ground, and talk
around the forbidden subject. AS
they warmed to each other incidental
illusions to the old days when
there was no North and no South,
and when no sectional feeling
dampened Christian sympathy; then
the separation and it's cause were eau
tiously limited at, and at last these
people reached that stage in progress
i've advancement when they spoke of
reconciliation and unity. This was
the work OF years, but it was accom-
plished, and the latest fruit is the fra
ternization of the camp meeting at
Sea Cliff House, Long Island, on the
23d of last month. There were pres
ent at the reception Bishops DoGGETr
and KAvANAUGH, Rev. DR.. LEE,
Rev. DIR. POSTAL, Rev. DIR. SAR-
GENT, of the Church South, and
Bishop JAMES, Rev. Drs. WHEEL
Err, DEPUY, RUST, PALMER, BoT-
TOME, CROOKS, PORTER, HUNT, and
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-08-14

the Revs. w. H. BoLT, INsKIP, WEED
and many others of the Church North.
The reception had a national signifi-
canoe, as it proved conclusively that
the sectional issues fomented before,
and which eliminated in the war, are
issues of the dead past, and that q
feeling of fellowship and love has
again attained permanent footing in
the councils of both branches of the
great Methodist Episcopal Church.
Addresses were made by Bishop KAv-
'ANAUGH, Bishop DoGGETT, Rev. DR..
LEE, Rev. DR.. SARGENT and Rev. DIR.
PoIsAL, from the South, and by
Bishop JAMES, Rev. Mr.. BooLE and
others from the North. The kindest
feeling prevailed, and the desire for
Christian unity seemed to be univer-

withhold their verdict until we ha We
the whole of the case. Then, and not
until then, will we be justified in pass
ing Judgment In a case involving such
sacred thing as the good name of un-
doubtedly the greatest man in the pull
pit in America, If not in the world.
Shakespeare truly says, "who steals
my purse steals trash; tits something
nothing; twas mine; tits his, and
has been the slave to thousands; but
he, that filches from me my good name,
robs me of that, which not enriches
him, and makes me poor, indeed"
But even if in the end the
charges should be proven true, let us
all remember that to err is human,
and we should judge as we would be
judged. All that is asked of the press
and people in this case is to do as they
would be done by.
Hoping you will allot this place in
your valuable paper in justice to a
much accused, if not much abused
man, 1 Iremain, yours with respect,
