a communication from Mr.. Jesse

man deprecates one Of the exam

presentment of the danger to our

to confute our arguments. In the

the style of our remarks was not up

rA. v..e s.eaea.

A hne opportunity is evidently
developing for Mayor Toberman.
The Workingmen's majority of the
City Council of Los Angeles seems
to Us to be possessed by an insa ne
impulse to strangle business In the
city. We have ourselves grave
doabts of the ability OF any City
Council to legislate any man out of
the means of making his liveli-
hood. In every State Constitution
there Is a provision which says
that no man shall be deprived OF
his property without due process Of
law. Property, to the extent to
which it 10 merely surplus is pure
exercscence, but invasions upon
this artificial right even are pro-
hibited by our organic law. De-
priving man of his ability to
make his living Is far more seri-
Gus injury than compromising his
surplus possessions, which may be
grouped under the generic name OF
property. A City Council, in mo.
ment of infatuation, might make
itsslfa very Gessler and set up q
Gessler's cap for the homage of the
citizen, but it don't follow that II
would not make condemned fool
Of itself by doing so. The Dsclara
ton Of Independence itself-the or
ganic law of the whole country
announces every mans right to life,
liberty and the pursuit Of happi-
ness. A City Council whick seeks
to prevent the citizen from earning
his livelihood Instead of giving
validity to its enactments simply
constitutes itself u nuist tnce of q
specially grave aud intolerable de-
scription. Suppose, to illustrate
the argument, that, instead of plac'
ing lauhdrymen's anu truckmen'f
licenses at the high figures selected
the Council had put them at $780,
900 each, is any man fool enough
not to know that the Courts
would overturn such con6scatine
ldiotcy? A surgeon, in treating
his patient, is justified in putting

showing the great loss of power in
hauling, attendant upon steep hills. In
tho casc long used roads no traveller
can have failed to notice that tho hills
almost invariably have a sharp point
at tho apex, which Is possibly twice as
steep as any other point Oh tho Hill
itself. This point may be the sole OBJ
staclc preventing the hauling Of all
extra bale or two of cotton on the
wagon. A weeks work with a few
hands and a key of powder would re-
move this peak and save hundreds of
dollars a year. Whether the convict
labor be utilized or not in this man
ncr, the county commissioners should
make it their special duty to blow up
these points and distribute the earth
along the hill sides OF ut the bottom to
