Is the gas question. The city gas com
pany by It's charter, enjoys a virtual
monopoly of the business, and has used
Its chartered privileges to extort from
consumers exorbitant prices for an in
ferior quality OF gas. This has been
borne for many years, until the corpor-
alton has become very wealthy, and the
people thoroughly awoke to the imposi-
tion practiced upon them. Several of
the wards have concluded to do away
with gas for street illuminating pur
poses altogether, ant, some of them
have already contracted for the erection
and manufacture OF oil lamps. At
present the city uses S6S lamps. for
which 1t pays the company $50. 80 Der

More Official Corruption.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 1Sth.-The
Finance Committee of the Board of
Supervisors held meeting last night
to reopen the Investigation into the
accounts of the late License Collector,
E. p. Buckley. Present: Ebbets,
MenZies and Roberts, of the commit
tee, and Supervisor Black, of the
Common License and Orders. The
latter testified regarding the altera-
tions discovered in the cash book, by
which one hundred Chinese licenses,
at $40 each, were not carried into the
footings and had not been paid into
the treasury.
Emil Member, ex-Deputy License
Collector, testified that the alterations
mentioned were ordered by Buckley;
that Buckley received the money, but
did not pay it over. The witness men,
toned great number of similar trans
actions and testified to Buckley s
offering him and Hellriegel, another
deputy, $3.50 each to leave the coun-
try.
Hellriegel, being sworn, ,corroborated
Members testimony, and thought
that under Buckley's administration
the city was swindled out of between
$1,000 and $4,000 year. He detailed
great number of instances in which
licenses to large amounts had been
collected and not accounted for.
The committee then adjourned.

WE regard the building of the Los
Angeles and Independence Railroad
in the light of an assured fact. Only
about forty thousand dollars worth of
the stock required to be taken remains
unsold, and this will be subscribed in
a few days. Chief Engineer CRAw-
FORD is about to leave for San Fran
cisco to purchase the locomotives and
other rolling stock to be used on the
road, and it now seems probable the
road between this city and the water
will be in operation by the first of
July. 1t is the intention of the COM
pany to have the road in operation
from the wharf to Cajon Pass by the
close of the present year. This ninety
miles of railroad will turn the entire
trade of the IDyo county mines
through this valley and cause the min
ing sections to draw their supplies from
US, thus affording our farmers a ready
market for their surplus products. In
anticipation of the vast interior trade
which this road will secure us, real
estate in the city and valley is steadily
advancing.

THE message of Mayor BEAUDRY
on the duties of the police, which we
print in another column, is q. sensible
and well written document. The po-
licemen are body of men employed
by the city and paid by the city.
They are appointed by the Common
Council, and are amenable in their
official capacity to that body. Every
policeman should know that he holds
his position by the will and pleasure of
the Council, and is liable to removal
the moment his official acts are not in
accordance with the wishes of the ap-
pointing power. If member Of the
police is not satisfied to take his pris-
oners before the Mayor, as by resolu-
ton directed, his duty is plain: he
should resign. If he fails to see his
duty in this respect, the Council will
remind him of his remissness by inn
mediate removal.

A Few Words to the " Star. "

From time to time the Star of this
city has INDUCED in adverse comments
and personal animadversions on the
HERALD. These attacks have par
taken strongly of the chief character
istics of the Stdr-falsehood and vitu-
peration-and coming from source
which this community so we'll under
stands and so correctly estimates, we
have generally passed them by as un-
worthy of notice or comment. But
when our cotemporary so strongly
manifests its mendacity as to attempt
to distort the HERALD stockholders
annual election of a Board of Direct
ors into evidence of change of the
course and policy of the paper, and in
order to give its falsehoods the color
of truth makes personal attack on a
member of the Board and piles false
hood after falsehood around the orig
inal lie, we feel called upon to respond
w sA@N S~>sShS Vi oiOWlnS bAcoo HIS
representations to be the mere fabrica-
tions of feeble mind and the off
spring Of a jealousy that we have done
nothing to create and which we shall
do nothing to remove. The personal
attack of the Star on one of the Di-
rectors is, we are informed, leveled at
gentleman whose standing and rep
utation in this valley is such that the
shafts of the malicious fall harmless
at his feet. Having nothing to defend,
he needs no defense. AS to the state
ment that the HERALD would depart
from its position as an Independent
journal, we need only point to the ar
ticle printed the day following the
stockholders election, in which it was

THE development of the oil mines
in the San Fernando mountains is
rapidly progressing, and from present
indications those enterprising men
who have worked SO long and faith
fully in an abiding faith of ultimate
success, will receive q return for the
labor and money expended. The
latest reliable information from the
oil mines is that one of the wells,
the one sunk by Mr.. SPANGLER, is
now yielding about fifty barrels of oil
per day, and competent judges are of
the opinion that this we'll will soon be
flowing at least one hundred barrels
per day. A like yield may reasonably
be expected from the other wells now
being sunk as soon as they have
reached the requisite depth. 1t is not
beyond the pale of probability to say
that the oil yield of the San Fernando
mines will soon average daily product
of one thousand barrels. Here is the
opening of a vast industry which will
prove source of incalculable wealth.

YESTERDAY VAsoUEz paid the pen
atty of his crimes with his life. He
was hanged at San Jose, and died like
brave man-cool and self-possessed-
protesting that his hands were free of
human blood. He maintained this
statement from the day of his capture
to that of his execution, but there is
scarcely shadow of chance to be-
lieve he told the truth. The evidence
was strong against him that he had
committed murder not once but on
several occasions. No matter now; be
is hanged, and there are few, if any,
who believe he deserved better fate.

Washington News.

WASHINGTON, March lSth.-The
Senate ratified the Hawaiian reciproc-
ity treaty by 81 to IL. The amend
ment proposed by the Committee on
Foreign Relations, being those hereto
fore published, were agreed to. In
the argument on the treaty Sargent
admitted it would not lessen the price
of refined sugar, but would cheaper
the cost of sugar on the poor mans
table, and in the mining camps of the
Pacific coast. He also dilated on the
strategic position of the Islands in case
of a foreign war. Booth opposed the
treaty andsbelieved it would lead to
difficulties with foreign powers. Jones
supported the treaty.
An adjourned caucus of the Repub-
lican Senators this afternoon came to
no conclusion with reference to the
disposition Of Frelinghuysen's resolu-
ton approving the action of the Presi-
dent in Louisiana affairs. They finally
appointed committee of five to draft
a substitute resolution.

so clearly stated that only a knave or
fool could misunderstood, that the
HERALD would remain under the
same editorial and financial control
under which it had attained the envi-
able po sition of the leading journal of
Southern California; that its former
independent position would be main
talned, and that it would continue to
labor for the best interests of Los An
geles valley. This has been and will
continue to be the policy of the HER
AID. In pursuing this course, it acts
upon convictions of right and endeav-
ors to ''hew to the line, let the chips
fall where they may" In advocating
or opposing men or measures, it has
never accepted the money of those
who paid to have themselves support
ed and others opposed. Will the Star
say as much? If it does do so, the ev-
idence will be forthcoming that it
utters deliberate and premeditated
falsehooi.

Exit Tiburcio vasquez.

SAN JOSE, March 19.-2. P. Mil
burcio Vasquez has just paid the ex-
treme penalty of the law for his
crimes. He approached the scaffold
and ascended the steps unfiinchingly
and stood with the utmost composure
and iron nerve throughout the painful
ordeal of preparation for the CHASTITY
ceremony. He denied to the last that
he died with blood upon his hands,
and evinced spirit to the very end
worthy of more honorable fate.
After the black cap had been drawn
over his face, the spring clicked and
he fell through the trap. AS the rope
tautened and his body Strengthened
out, there was slight quivering and
twisting, but nothing more. The Jail
yard was filled with people and the
horrid spectacle was witnessed by a
great crowd.

The Port Jervis G0rge-ft Bresks-A
Fearful Flood.

PORT JERvIs, n. Y, March 17th.-
At this morning the large shop
whistle warned the people that flood
was rising with fearful rapidity. The
telegraph had previously announced
that the ice had swept through every
barrier and was coming down upon the
city, riding upon the crest of wave
ten feet high.
IA. M.-The water is rising rapidly
and King street is inundated. A
large charge of nitro-glycerine ex-
ploded and did great execution. The
ice is damming up the head of the
gorge. The Delaware railroad bridge,
three miles west of here, has been
swept away. The flood is coming with
ipcopceivable force and the inhabi-
tants are fleeing in confusion from the
flats.
s A. M.-The gorge remains firm, but
the volume of water has made river
of King street, carrying all before it
and submerging great part Of the
lower portion of the town. The flood
is now within 100 yards of the tele-
graph office.
S:45 A. MA great shout of thank
fulness has just gone up. The gorge
has broken and the ice is floating
down stream, while the water in the
village is lowering. The Barrett
bridge stands, though badly damaged.
Probably thirty blocks were inundat-
ed and some houses carried off. AS far
as heard from, no lives are lost. The
wrecks of two bridges are being car
ried rapidly down stream and the Sus.
pension Bridge, eight miles below, is
felt to be doomed. About 200 houses
in Port Jervis proper, between the
railway and the river, were more or
less damaged by the water. Many of
them are filled to the second story All
the large shops of the Erie Railroad
had water in them, but no great dam
age is done.

The Wheeler Compromise and the
H.Ouisiana SenRtOrshlp.

WASHINGTON, March 18th. While
nothing official is ascertalnable, the
Wheeler compromise forwarded to
New Orleans yesterday is believed to
seat one additional Conservative State
Senator and give the Conservatives
twelve majority in the Lower House,
which will tie the Legislature in joint
ballot on any party vote. If the COM
promise be accepted many think that
Speaker Hahn will vote fora Conserv-
ative sooner than for Casey or any
body else not considered a bona fde
citizen of the State. His vote would
then settle the Senatorship.

immigrant Aid Associations.

An exchange has some remarks on
the establishment of an Immigrant
Aid Society TO be conducted by an
agent appointed by the Governor
and supported out of the State Treas
ury. These immigration schemes al
ways crop out few months preceding
session of the Legislature. They are
the inventions of gentlemen who ex-
pect to be appointed President, Agent,
Manager, Secretary or something else
of the Association, for which they will
draw a large salary while doing next
to nothing in return therefor. We are
opposed to immigrant aid societies in
general, and to those seeking to draw
their funds from the State Treasury in
particular. We oppose them all on
principle. There are enough poor peo-
pie here now, and poor people are the
only people whom immigrant aid as
sociations induce to move from one
locality to another. We set up the
theory that Individuals who are so
impecunious that they can only reach
the Pacific Coast on second class tick
cts furnished by an immigrant society
will not prove valuable citizens after
they have arrived, and we stake our
judgment Of human nature on the
issue that the theory will prove cor
rect when practically applied. So
much for the class of people whom
immigrant aid associations bring to
to this State. Now then, few words
On the injustice of taxing the people
now here to pay the passage of those
who wish to come here. The people
who found this country and drove
dangers from the pathway of those
now reaping the harvest, did not ride
from one side Of the continent to the
other in u railroad car, ON free ticket
furnished by an immigrant aid soci-
iety. rhey came "the Horn around"
fore wheels of wagon over the Plains,
and it took them nearer seven months
than seven days to make the trip.
These people travelled on their own
means, and what they own and pay
taxes on in this State they have ac-
quired by their own industry. The
money in the State Treasury is
money raised by taxing the
property of the residents of California.
Is it right or just to take the money
of those residents to pay the passage
of those who, as they have not ac-
quired means elsewhere, it is reasona-
BILE to conclude will not do much in
that line after they are deadheaded''
to the Golden State +? The long and
the short of it is, that we are not so
anxious to increase our population
that we will vote the peoples money
away to pay large salaries to agents
and managers of immigrant aid asso-
Citations and for the purchase of
second-class railroad tickets. If our
large landholders desire to people
their broad acres they are the ones to
furnish funds for the immigration So
ciety. If they will pay the way of
few thousand poor families and give
them farms on their arrival, much
good will be done, but it is a cruelty
to the poor people who are induced to
come here and a wrong on those whose
money is used to bring them here to
maintain an immigrant aid associa-
ton out of the State Treasury.

San Jose Items.

SAN JOSE, March 18th. Wednesday
evening Vasquez made long state

of the murders at Tres Pinos on Leiva

OUR dispatches this morning an
