stranger will feel some natural sur
prise on learning that the Board of
Public Works is composed of three of
our most respectable citizens, each of
whom Is under $4,000 bonds for the
faithful performance of their duty,
and that they are acting under and by
virtue of a law which the City Attor-
ney, the Councils legal advisor, again
and again has decided removes from
the the Council all power to act in the
premises. The Council seems to for
get that in accordance with the pub
lished opinion of the City Attorney, it
is itself, on the questions involved, an
unlawful body acting without au-
thority or the color of legal sanction.
1t does not appear to understand that
its warrants for work done that comes
within the province of the Board of
Public Works cannot be paid by the
City Treasurer without endangering
that officials bondsmen. 1t cannot
apparently comprehend that assess
ments for street or other public i'm
provements levied by it cannot be col
lected, and that its members are liable
to arrest for trespass and suit for dam
ages the momen: they touch private
property. The Council cannot realize
these facts though assured of their
existence by the City Attorney. If
our Common Council could be
made to understand anything
it a plain and simple proposition
could be made to come within its
comprehension-it would understand
that the law creating Board of Pub
lie Works and defining the duties
thereof is, no matter whether consti-
tutional or not, in full force and bind
ing until its unconstitutionality is de.
cided by the Supreme Court, and
therefore until such decision is rem
dered, defiance of its officers aud diso-
bedience of its provisions is misde-
meanor or felony as the case may be.
Our Common Council is an autocracy
so far as the people are concerned. 1t
defies them and treats their petitions
with the contempt of tabling without
reading, but it cannot with impunity
defy the law. The people of Los An
geles may submit to the serfdom i'm
posed on them by their law-defying
Council, but the people of the State do
not stand in such dread of our petty
tyrants, and the law will be enforced.

and opened fire. The fight lasted
some time, until the native rulers Or
dered their men to desist, stating to
Captain Stevens that he was respon-

were the aggressors. Four English
were killed outright and number
wounded, eight it is thought mortally.
Three natives were killed and five
slightly wounded. Had the natives

vantage they could have probably de-
stroyed the entire party, but they

what amount of evidence would be
needed to convict a confessed crimi-
nal. We are warned by the events of
the hour that the immediate tendency
of the present system is dangerous to
the welfare of our future being as a
nation. Had It not been for the re-
cent exposure of corruption by Demo-
cratic investigation, GRANT would
have been elected for a third term,
and the rottenness of the past eight
years would have continued until the
very life-blood of our national being
had been exhausted. If there is any
thing that would convince us of the
existence of a beneficent Ruler, had
we doubt, it would be the fact of the
tangible warnings we have received
and the most opportune disclosures
that have transpired. These facts and
cautions cannot fall unheeded.

WE seldom find anything in the

tleman, amply qualified for the place,
aud possessing the confidence and re-
spect of all who know him. Mr.. BUR-
DICK has, we believe, resided in this

Many Of the denizens of this health
full locality have apparently gone to
sleep over their surroundings, and
completely ''run down at the heal"

touched bottom" Now any man
with the sense that comes up to the

see that from the geographical position
alone of this city, she will occupy a
commercial Importance which will be
second to that of no city, except per-
haps San Francisco. Los Angeles is

USELESS ELECTION.

Messrs. JAMES, KURTz, JACKSON,
LONG and MCKEE, the Board of Edu-
cation, ere out in a manifesto urging
the favorable consideration Of the peO-
ple's suffrage for a tax of $4,000 on
next Saturday. We have all kindly
feeling for the subject matter of edu-
cation, and a like good and kindly
feeling for the members of the Board;
but they have so far failed to explain
what they have done with the funds
heretofore placed at their disposition.
Nor have they or the Council taken
any steps to recover the funds of the
city from those who were made the
unworthy custodians of it. Besides,
the expense attending the assessing
and collecting of this tax will swallow
fifth of the amount. 1t will also be
contested by some-and successfully,
too-as it is clearly unconstitutional.
The poor will pay and the rich will
contest and escape the whole burden.
There is no human being authorized
to assess unless constitutionally elect
ed to the office by the people. No or
dinance or resolution of the Council
can make an Assessor. If the people
have submitted to street assessments
it was because their prudence dictated
policy not to be considered in the
way of progress, but not from any
conscious obligation they were under
to pay the same. This is law and gos-
pei, and there is no lodging the ques-
ton.

AN UNIDENTIFIED BODY.

At its meeting on Thursday even.
Ing the Common Council manifested
an exceedingly bitter and uncompro-
missing hostility to the Board of Pub
lie Works, and some of its members,
who are no doubt constant readers of
the Express, so far forgot the dignity
of the position they occupy as to des-
ignate the Board as a "ghostn and ap-
ply the term "fellows" to the gentle
men comprising it. By a, we believe,
unanimous vote they passed resolu-
ton prohibiting the Sheriff from
delivering city prisoners to any but
the Councils Captain of the Chain
Gang; warned the City Surveyor to
be careful of his maps; gave notice to
the stable keeping the city's horses to
deliver that property to none except
those holding authority from the
Council, and directed the City Treas.
urer to pay no warrants save those
signed by the Mayor and City Clerk.
Now all this is discourteous and un-
dignified, and savors of shallow silli-
ness that one would not without proof
believe dozen intelligent gentlemen
guilty OF. The stranger listening to
the speeches of the Council on Thurs
day evening could hardly avoid the
conclusion that the Board of Public
Works of this city was an outlawed
institution, and that its members
were disreputable parties whose
sole purpose was to destroy the
city's maps, steal the city's horses
and rob the city's treasury. After
reaching these conclusions through
the wild rawlings of the Council, the
