Will Not Come Out.

IL is stated that the whisky fraud
development made and to make will
shake the Republican party from CEN
ter to circumference. We do not
share the hopes or fears of those who
make these predictions. The convic-
tion OF BABcocK cannot follow unless
he can be sacrificed without the
smirching of other skirts. 1t is prob
ably true as alleged that he has been
the agent, manager and manipulation
of the many gigantic frauds perpetra-
ted on the Revenue Department with
in the past five years. But he has not
been alone. Others above and below
him have aided and abetted. and
shared the profits. If the testimony
against him is permitted to come out,
there will be soiled hands all about
the White House, and we shall not be
surprised if strong additional reason
why the President is candidate for
the third term, is developed. But
this testimony will never reach the
people. 1t would be ugly reading for
a party that desires to maintain its po-
litical supremacy. 1t would damage
the prospects of man who claims his
right to the Presidency of this Repub-
lie during life. 1t would show The hy-
pocracy of many who are now inveigh-
ing against fraud and corruption. 1t
would prove that crooked whisky has
made the fortunes of many crook
ed men, and it will show that there is
more corruption in high places than is
dreamed of by the people. The evil
dence that might come out and would
convict BABCocK villain of the deep
est dye will not come out, because ifit
did it would prove others, perhaps
among them the master, as great
villain as the Secretary.

richest agricultural settlement in our
sunny South, while in pomological
promise it is unequaled in Southern
California, Its population must now
be quite if not over one thousand. 1t
has a snug church and another in
course of erection fine school house,
good hotel, two restaurants, a wagon
and carriage mandatory, and many
private residences. Its nurseries al
ready rival those of Los Angeles, while
its young orange, lime and lemon
groves are the finest in the State OF
their age. Land is yet sold incredibly
cheap and on very easy terms in this
semi-tropical Eden. Water in abun-
dance is furnished the purchaser for
irrigation, ,and the Company, at whose
head is Capt. Sayward, the very per-
sonation of progressive energy, is lib
eral and accommodating in every way
in its power. We have no hesitation
in informing immigrants in search of
homes that Riverside offers the poor,
industrious man better inducements
for u happy home than any other sec

at no distant day we will, from per-

an excess of taxes over exports of $122-
100000. The plain deduction from
this is that our farms, mines and fac
tories do not produce a surplus in val
ue equal to our taxation. The people
believe that If they were relieved of
the proportion of taxation by the, in
the aggregate, vast subsidy absorbed
by private corporations, their taxes
would not exceed the value of their
total of exports, and while they are
willing to bear the burden already as
sumed, they are resolved to make the
most strenuous efforts to prevent an
increase of the load. The almost unan-
nous adoption by the House of HoL-
MANS anti-subsidy resolution, indi-
Gates how determined is this resolve,
and warns the seeker after farther sub
sidy, that they ask for what cannot.
with the consent of the masses, be OBJ
tained. We are entering upon an all
ii subsidy era.

A General Sewerage System.

EDITOR HEARLD: Under this head
ing your evening cotemporary pub
lished document purporting to be
from the Chief Engineer of defunct
office, and qualified it with the asser.
ton that it might be read with inter-
est and profit by the people at large.
AS it is only fit for the people at large
/ perused it with mingled feelings of
wonder and amusement-withw wonder
that the so.called Chief Engineer, only
occupying the position of Inspector of
Works, and responsible for the execu-
ton thereof in accordance with plans
and specifications, should so far forget
the duties of a subordinate as to pub.
lish q manifesto of so much self-con-
sidered Importance without the con-
currence of the City Surveyor. In do
ing SO he either had no respect for his
chiefs ability or was too ignorant to
control his own. His document may
be compared to very ancient work
where it is said, "IIet there be light
and there was light" He simply
states that the specifications called for
certain work to be done, and having
been paid to see it done, and for fear
the citizens would not be aware of the
completion of a public nuisance, he
makes the following ludicrous an
nouncements:
lst. He states that "tle sewer is per-
fectly tight from one end to the other,
and has been so constructed as to pre-
vent percOlation of sewer water" How
absurd; the specifications ordered the
brickwork to be set and lined with ce-
ment, and what was the object of do
ing so if not to prevent percolation?
I'd. at has continuous fall. so that
the contents will keep moving; but
deposits may be removed by flushing"
| What grand idea! The contents will
be moving oil the time, but deposits
may be removed by flushing.
Sd. "It is provided with man-holes
| for inspection, and its size and egg
| shaped form are well adapted to its
work. / should think so after paying
q liberal sum of money to the Chief
Engineers chief it would have been
| cruel to have constructed man-holes
for sewer not large enough to admit
of inspections; but it is quite possible
that the Chisf Engineer of that valu-
able document practieed from three
| feet diameter model before the COM
mencement of the work, which not
| only accounts for his Grecian bend,
| but for the distance each man-hole is
apart. The general public ought to
feel indebted for document so origi-
nal, inasmuch as it contains nothing
original beyond the unprecedented
manner of its introduction. Archi-
tects and builders are specially invited
not to forget its location, its depth, ca
pabilities and general usefulness, and
| would suggest that an outline of this
wonderful main sewer, situate between
a high and low level, be illuminated
and kept in each architects office; and
perhaps it would be as well if samples
from the cement lining and brickwork
were taken from different places along
the line of the sewer, and a careful
analysis of the ingredients made and
kept as guide to all future substan-
tiai and highly recommended works

THE rainfall so far this season has
been so gentle and regular that every
drop has done the greatest possible
amount of service. 1t has all BEEN re-
tanned in the soil, and the verdure Of
tile fields attest its gentle yet irresis-
table influence. The gauges do not
agree as to the amount of rain for the
season. That kept by Mr.. FREEMAN,
on the Centinela Rancho gives US
seventy-fve one-hundredths OF an
inch as the fall of Tuesday evening,
and seven and quarter inches for the
season. If we can have as much more
rain aud receive it in the same way as
that already received, a good season

IT will be difficult to advance a
sound argument why the people
should not have full and satisfactory
information as to the solvency and fl
nancial condition of institutions in
which they insure their lives and
property. The man who insures his
substance in weak and irresponsible
company, and we have no doubt there
are many such, risks not only the
money he pays for his policy, hut the
fortune he sought to save. 1t is not
only the right but the duty of the
Legislature to place on the Statutes a
law which will enable the insurer to
Know. that the company issuing his
policy is abundantly able to redeem
its promise in the event of misfortune
rendering such redemption necessary.

Riverside Land and irrigation Company.

#tk tFrom the News.l tt1
The irrigating system of the River
side Land and lrrigating Company
and the Southern California Colony
Association is now under one organ
lied system. The Riverside canal,
eighteen miles long, from seven to
eight feet wide at the bottom, and
from Is to 20 feet wide at the top, and
about four feet deep, has a capacity to
carry $500 inches of water. The en-
tire cost has been about $4,000. The
new canal now being constructed by
the Riverside Land and Irrigation
Company, and which is nearly COM
pleted for l6 miles, is splendid piece
of work. About one mile has been
excavated through granite to depth
of from four to fifteen feet, and full
ten feet wide. This canal has capac-
ity of 1000 inches, and the cost thus
far is $4,000. The two canals will
furnish much larger quantity Of
water than can ever be used on the
1900 acres, that can be irrigated from
them. The Company propose to fur
nish water equal to continuous five
inch stream for every 20 acres of land
sold by them. This will give twenty
inches for every fourth day., forty
inches every eighth day, or eighty
inches every fifteenth day. The pur-
chasers of land can purchase an inter-
est in the water in proportion to the
land purchased, so that when the
land is all sold the purchasers will
own all the canals, water and water
rights connected Herewith, Three
thousand inches of water will furnish
u continuous tive-inch stream for ev-
cry 20 acres of the 1900 acres, or so
inches for every sixteenth day, at the
option of the purchaser.

Not a Subsidy Period.

In variety and wealth of resource
the United states is probably the
richest country in the world. Her area
of rich land, includes millions of acres

ed to the toll of the husbandman. Her
minera! resources are unbounded and
include every variety of metal; her
climate ranges from the torrid to the
frigid; her commercial advantages are
unsurpassed by those of any other CIV
iIized nation; her government is the
best because it is that of the people
Snd her citizens are brave, hardy, in
dustrious and full of resource. Yet as
nation she can hardly claim that de-
gree of prosperity which her area and
natural wealth would seem to promise
This great country is rich-so rich
that she has forgotten the principles
Of economy. and no longer practices
that thrift by which she rose from the
grade of q weak and impoverished col
ony to that of a powerful and wealthy
nation. For years her substance has
been rapidly passing from the hands
of the masses to the Golfers of the few.
Under the pred II of enhancing the
general prosperity, the few have pos
sessed themselves of millions of acres
OF the public domain and transferred
from the National Treasury to theiI
own pockets hundreds of millions ol
dollars of the peoples money. The
