Signs Of the Times.

EDITOR HERALD The statement
OF the Farmers and Merchants Bank
is most satisfactory to every body, and
will do much towards restoring con-
ffdence.
The County Bank has always been
in a healthy condition, though with
less capital than the other.
The Commercial Bank having Just
opened has all its capital on hand yet.
Altogether our moneyed institutions
were never in a better condition than
at present. They have moro money
on hand than ever before, and money
matters ought to be in an easier con-
dition. All that is required now to
start us on new era of prosperity, is
for the people to show to these insti-
tutions that their confidence is fully
restored. Until they do this the banks
afford to extend the usual
accommodations. There is five hund-
red thousand dollars now in these
banks that ought to be in circula-
tlon in the county and would be if
the Bankers were assured that they
had the full confidence of the people.
But it will be asked how can the
people give this assurance q? we answer
first: They must stop their croaking
about hard times, quit standing
on the corners of the streets
with their hands in their pockets
and go to business. Second, kick
every low devil off the sidewalk. that
attempts to whisper to you with q
knowing wink to look out for other
failures soon. These are the fellows
that are doing more to destroy conf
dence than everything else put to-
gether. Third, let every one who has
laid their money away in dark places
bring it out and either deposit it in

nies to discontinue road building
throughout the State, but more espec-
tally to stop the construction of the
Southern Pacific track, which is now
being rapidly extended Eastward to-
ward the Colorado river. So long as
Mr.. COHEN was enabled to keep his
real purpose from the people he was
permitted to pursue his mission in
comparative security. But his object
leaked out. The corporations against
whom he was waging such bitterw
lifted the curtain and showed the peo-
pie that he was not only working
against their interests, but that while
in the employ of the men he is now
assailing, he had swindled them and
others, and had, besides, been guilty
of transactions hardly creditable to an
honest man. AS these facts began to
fill the papers, the prosecutor and
would be prosecutor suddenly assumed
the defensive. To-day COHEN is seek
ing interviews with newspaper repor-
ters and into the ears of each he pours
a doleful tale In defense of himself.
We are afraid SCOTT has been unfor-
tunate in the selection of an agent.

EDITOR HERALD.-Your paper of
yesterday contains an article headed
Movement against the Gas Compa-
N.Y. in which occurs the statement
that the average price of gas on the
coast is $3.50, and the highest rates
outside of Los Angeles are $500, and
that rates here are largely in excess
of any other city or town in Califor-
MIA, etc. The following are the rates
in other places: Nevada, $500; Grass
Valley, $500; Marysville, $500; Oak
land, S4.25; Stockton, 50. G0:Napa City,
$500; San Francisco, $4.00. Los An
geles consumers of $50 feet per night,
are paying at the rate of S625 per
thousand feet,
The Los Angeles Gas Company are
of course dependent upon the commu-
nifty for business, and desirous oftheir
patronage, and to that end, therefore,
always stand ready to fix such rates as
will secure the largest consumption of
gas, thereby afiording q corresponding
profit to stockholders. But at the
present cost of coal it is impossible to
manufacture and supply gas of the IL
Illuminating power of that now being
furnished, at the price named by the
signers Of the resolutions appearing
in your issue OF yesterday.

THE San Francisco Post and the Los

THE San Francisco Post and the Los
Angeles Express, two papers in the
ownership of which Senator JONES is
reported to be interested, and both Of
which he appears to control,
are bitter opponents of the
Central and the Southern Pacific
Railway Companies, and both have
been unusually Industrious in advo-
eating the passage of the ARCHER
freights and fares bill. The Express
INDUCED in a characteristic sneer at
the action of our Chamber of Com
merce in adopting resolutions urging
the defeat Of the bill, and now comes
the Senator'S other paper-the Post
with this left-handed compliment to
the Chamber: "The Los Angeles
Chamber of Commerce resolved yes
terday that freights and fares don't
need regulating in that vicinity, and
issued the manifesto of subserviency
usual under such circumstances and
commonly incident to communities
lacking in the bitter experience of
their elder brethren.u

rOdu business was ABOUT as great as n
goats would be in arranging a parlor.
The welfare of our railroads should be
the care and interest of every citizen
of our country for the interests of the
producer. Merchants and Shippers are
identical and cannot be separated, and
any legislation by the Representatives
of one infringing upon the rights of
the other is unjust. TO establish by
law rate of freights and fares which
would at all meet the appreciation of
BUSINESS MEN OR CAPITALISTS
Who are able to operate railroads
would require the knowledge and eX-
perience of cur most thorough railroad
men, together with the cost of build
ing and expense of operating every
mile of road affected by the law, else
injustice is done to one or the other.
Few of our politicians have any correct
idea of the cost and expense OF building
and operating line of railroad, hence
the entire failure throughout the East
ern States (as it will be here) to estab-
lish by law table of freights and fares
at all satisfactory, but brought upon
each State series of troubles long
to be remembered and forever dreaded.
Thousands of men were discharged
from labor, property deprecated in
value, courts We're filled with legisla-
tions in petty cases. Distress, distrust
and dissatisfaction took the place of
prosperity and commercial harmony.
Well did the Hon. John @. Tufts, in q
speech at Des Moines, Iowa, in the
Winter of ~ and rs remark:
WE HAVE TURNED THE PIGS
in the parlor this winter, and they are
roofing up all our commercial inter-
ests; and strange to say that men who
were leaders in bringing about this
state of things were generally men
least interested in the welfare of the
country and had the laast to do with
railroads, unless it was to swindle
them in some way. One of the hardest
opponents the railroad has in the State
of Iowa swindled the Chicago and
Northwestern Railroad Company out
of twelve thousand dollars by swear
ing so false that the jnry hung on his
conviction for perjury; throughout the
whole war four out of five of the bit
terest opponents the railroads had
were culpfitS before the bar or justice
or those who knew but little of
RAILROAD SCIENCE.
We have hoped such state of things
might never reach this fair State
where railroads are so much needed
to carry on the already rapid improve
ment of q country blessed with eli
mate nowhere else TO be found. Every
mans hand, Should be against the man
who would throw straw in the way
of building and operating railroads, as
it is we'll known without them our
country is barren and worthless, but
with more and competing lines of road
an increase Of business as the sure re-
suit Of improvement our freights and
fares will he lowered accordingly, and
the end harmoniously reached without
infringement on the rights of persons
or property. We hope as the Archer
bill las received sitting in the hands
of the committee it will be returned
to the Senate stamped with injustice
and there consigned to the waste paper
box, as Southern California at least is
in 10 condition to engage in such a
stultifying warfare upon our best
friends. Respectfully,
". w. ALLEN.

The Press Censorship

The Senate has passed PERSONS
signature and retraction bills. These
are two of the W eapons which the an
ti-educa tion and anti-newspaper Sem
ators are using against the press of
the State. The retraction bill makes
it misdemeanor on the part of pub
Usher or editor to refuse to publish
retraction of any statement made in
the columns of his paper when order
ed so to do by the judge of court.
Under this law the censorship of the
press is taken from the people and
placed in the hands OF the judges of
the courts. The people are the proper
censors Of the press. They have oxer-
cised that power since the day when
the publication of newspapers first be-
gan. The history of journalism is full
of instances where the judgement of
the people was the doom of the journ-
al. The paper that pursues policy
the people condemn soon realizes the
error of its way and assumes diff
ferent position or meets the fate of the
traitor to the hand from which it
receives encouragement and support.
Under PERSONS billa judge will have
it in his power to persecute and ulti-
mately crush the journal towards
which from political or other motives
he entertains sentiments of ill-will or
enmity. Ours is not government
under which will be tolerated a legal
censorship of the Press. The enact
ment of law such as proposed by
PIERsoN is usurping of the preroga-
tive of the masses and placing in the
hands of a few power that belongs
of right to public sentiment and pubs
lie opinion. The necessity for such a
law does not exist, for the reason that
no honorably conducted journal will
refuse to correct any error it has made
the moment the mistake is made ap.
parent. The signature bill requires
that all articles appearing in newspa-
perS shall have appended thereto the
true signature of the writer. There
are two classes of the community sup
porting this measure. One is COM
posed of Senators and Assemblymen
who affect a desire to hold personally
responsible the writers of articles con-
cerning themselves, and they labor
under the mistaken notion that their
acts of omission and commission will
under this law escape the adverse
criticism they now receive. These
are the Thugs who would strangle the
Press because they fear it. The other
class is composed of newspaper Bohe-
mians-persons who imagine that if
the people could only know that they
wrote this or that article, they would
at once be to fame and fortune known.
This is the objective point for which
Mr.. HENRY GEORGE wrote his person
al journalism pamphlet. There is al
ways some one about newspaper Of
flee who will assume the responsible
sty for anything that appears in the
paper and we have never yet heard of
an instance in which a party really
desiring to see that individual failed
to find him. The press and the peo-
pie expect Governor IRWIN to veto
both these bills and from our knowl-
edge of the man we venture the opin-
ion that they will not be disappointed.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1876-03-15

ready to give good security for it.
There is hundreds of thousands hid
away by timid people who are wait
ing for times to get better before they
will venture to bring it out. This is
one grand cause of the scarcity of mon
ey. Thus the people themselves are
to blame for the hard times and not
the banks. There is more money to-
day than ever before and confidence is
all that is wanting to bring it out
Let all the'good people discountenance
these kaowing prophets and croakers
and show an accommol ting spirit to-
wards each other, and STOW the banks
that confidence is fully restored, and
in one month we will have as great
prosperity as we ever had.

THE EUening Republican, the only
straight out Republican paper pub
lisheG in Los Angeles, and, so far as
we know, the only avowedly and con-
fessediy Republican paper in Southern
California, has discovered that the
BELKNAp expose was started to infu-
ence the New Hampshire election for
the Democracy. This being the case,
it looks as though the ex-Secretary of
War was, when he admitted the truth
of the charges preferred by MARSH,
playing into the hands of the Demo-
Gratis. Perhaps the discovery of this
little game induced GRANT to request
BELKNAP to resign. If Republican
journals have one merit that shines
pre-eminent above all others, it is
that of whitewashing their leaders.
