lFONANS TEMPERANCE con.
INN.
Theodore Cuyler at the Nation
al Temperance Conference.

tson smong the many good sni wise
things said by Rev. hIr. Cuylor in his
address before the International Tenper.
auoe Conference, We clip tho following:
a KNOCK AT TnE DOOR OF cHRtsT's CHURCH.
Why has not movement so sensible
in It's aims and SO thoroughly Christian
in Ita spirit as the temperance reform
made moro wide pad permanent progress =?
We reply that it is for the very same
reason that the enterprise Of evanaelizing
the heather had nade such slender pro.
sIesS in this conotfy one hundred wears
ago. When 'ba historic bell 10 old
Independence Han rang ont its joyful
tocsin OF liberty, there were not score
OF American missionaries on foreign
shores. The pagans we're perishng for
lack Of knowledge. Christ's command to
"go and disciple" them was clear and
imperative. But his church in America
had not yet awakened to their duty.
When they dill awake to it, over one
thousand foreign missionaries were soon
in the field.
Yet. w 10 this centennial year. the
Christian church ia this republic has
never done home work for saving i'm.
mortal men from the dram. cup at all
commensurate with its foreign work in
saving men from pagsnism. Tho havoc
and the curse of the dram.cup have loomed
like red-mouthed Vesuvius. The chief.
est enemy of Christ, Of Christianity, and
Of our country is the dram. sup. Nothing
has destroyed as many lives, desolsted ss
many homes, and damned as many souls
as intemperaneo. II Jesus Christ estsh.
lished his church for the very purpose of
saving human society from its sins then
surely the hngest sin that curses society
should command the church's foremost
attention
Some Christians attempt to excuse the
church neglect of duty BY affirming tou-
peFAsce to be purely political question.

tration oi tho Government by the Re.

At home and abroad, by Republican

statements are borne out by the facts.
A short time before the Republican

seems hardly possible that tho people of

Powers Of the Board Of Public Works
Of the City Of Los Angeles.
OpinIsn Of Thom & Ross and Benjamin Hayes,
Esqs., May 1st, 1876.
OPINION.

At the last session of the Legisla-
ture of California was passed an Act
commonly known as the "Amended
Charter" of the city of Los Angeles;
subsequently,, another Act entitled
"An Act to create q Board of Public
Works in and for the city of Los An
geteS," approved April Sd, lS76.)
These Acts must be construed to-
gether, in order to draw safely the line
of demarcation between the authority
of the "Mayor and Council,n and
that of the "Board of Public Works.n
After minute examination, no reason
appears to exist for any antagonism
between these two public bodies. 1t
is believed that they may easily move
on in harmony within their respec-
tive spheres, for the common good of
the people whom they represent.

See enumeration of Public Works,
Am. Char. Art. III, Sec. 2; all of which
devolve upon the Board.
Upon the whole, means appear to be
ample, provided by the laws, for exc
cutting the several powers entrusted to
this Board, not the least among such
means being some of the faculties
which the Council continues to enjoy,
for example, to levy taxes, to borrow
money, and others that might be used
to accomplish any measure OF i'm
provement desirable for the city, the
disus Of (which, without sound reason,
would be an abuse of discretion and
breach of official duty, which is not to
be anticipated.
The funds in the City Treasury, for
the several branches of Public Works,
cannot be applied to other purposes
of the City Government; and out of
the same, by section eight of the Act
of April 8, 1876, it is made the duty of
the City Treasurer to pay all the drafts
of the Board, for expenditures under
that Act. For the discharge of this
duty, he is responsible upon his own
official bond.
1t is not easy to define precisely the
kind or extent of aid many of the 9TH
er City officers can give to the Board,
when called upon for services, as they
may be, under section one, third clause
of tn Act. Such services cannot be
lawfully refused. 1t may even be
within the competency of the Mayor,
as Executive officer of the corpora
tion,n to see that, in proper cases, obe-
dience is given to the Board. (Am.
Char. Art. V, Sec. IL
This Board can appoint very few
officers. The Act manifestly contem-
plates, that it shall have the co-ope-
ration of all other members and off,
GERS of the corporation, of which the
Board is an integral part, to all in-
tents and purposes as much as if its
peculiar machinery had originally
been worked into the charter. In fact,
this special Act is but in the nature of
an amendment to the charter. Art.
w, Sec. 80 of the Constitution author
ICES the formation of municipal corpO-
rations, by special act; it follows nec-
essarily, that they can be amended,
in the same manner.
