RAILROAD TOPICS.
The Southern Pacific Work
at San Pedro.
BRANCH LINE IMPROVEMENTS
Departure of q "SunSet" EXcur-
siOn-General Gossip Cleaned
at the Dep0ts.

Speaking of the intentions OF the
Southern Pacific at San Pedro the
Clipper of that place says: "The
magnitude of the improvement of
wharf and sale facilities now just
about inaugurated at this port is far
greater than the general public imag-
ines. Over $3.50, 900 will be expended
by the company in building piers,
wharves and switches. Then the
whole branch from San Pedro to Los
Angeles is to be double tracked. One
wharf alone, to be built out to deep
water, will cost in the neighborhood
Of 500, 900. The work has been fairly
begun, and it is expected that over 500
men will be employed; here within a
months time /"
This is corroborative of what was
published in these columns during
the recent visit here OF Mr.. Hunting
ton and the Southern Pacific directors.
That the company has decided to
centre its energies in this section is now
beyond doubt, and although for traffic
facilities the line will undoubtedly be
pushed through to San Diego, there
is little fear of that city taking away
the marine commerce from this part
of the coast. With the completion of
the projects at Rattlesnake Island. La
Ballona and San Pedro, Los Angeles
will have harbor facilities unrivalled
by any spot on the American con-

THE contract of the City Water
Company cuts no figure in the ques-
tion of voting for the proposed charter.
The right Of the city to the water OF
the river is inalienable. The water
company uses it for time under con-
tract with the city. That contract
has some nine years to run, and it
cannot be disturbed before that period
expires. There is time to make hall
dozen charters in that time. The
water question is being raised as a
bugaboo. The people of Les Angeles
are not children, and cannot be fright
ened by this Scaramuch. The cham
pions of the defective instrument will
have to get down to legitimate reason
ing-if they are capable Of that. The
merits and demerits Of the instrument
are what it must stand or fall on, not
false issue touching contract with
nearly decade to run.

SENATOR HEARST having represented
to the Commissioner Of the General
Land Office that the land Office in
this city was deficient ia clerks
and the Office conveniencies to
carry on the greatly increased busi-
ness in this district, as it should
be, that gentleman assured the Sen
ator that the complaint would
be remedied at as early date as pos
sible, and thatas soon as the deficiency
voted by Congress could be availed of,
Commissioner Stockslager would see
that our Office had the required relief.

The city and county assessors both
have their deputies in the field. They
have issued blanks to the taxpayers to
send in their lists. Great inconven-
ience resulted last year to those who
neglected to send in their statements.
1t is extremely probable that it is the
bounden duty of these officials to
serve the people by making
the most careful canyass OF
the property on their own
behalf. They held otherwise last
year and seem inclined to do SO again.
It is, therefore, better for the average
citizen to send in the full list rather
than have his life male burden
when he comes to pay his taxes next
fall, and find his realty put in an mex
tricable and endless list of unknown
owners" Send in your lists.

COLD, callous, cunning old John
Sherman champions the Bond Bill in
the Senate. The ex-Treasurer Of the
United States is credited with hold
ing a large block of bonds himself.
He certainly is the ally of National
banks and all other moneyed mon
opolies who do hold the bonds. In
1893 some OF these bonds come due.
There is sinking fund for their re-
demption, so that there is no possi-
bility of their being allowed to
run longer. How nice the
scheme to force the Federal
Government into the market
for the next FIVE years to buy these
bonds at any premium their holders
may run them up to! In five years
they must be surrendered at their face
value. How much more to the wishes
of the holders to COMPEL the peo-
pie to redeem them before
their time at fifty per cent. more than
their face value! Yet Sherman is the
choice of many for the Presidency-of
many, but not of half enough to elect
him.

Amusements Of the Idle Yester.
day.
Yesterday was attended by the jokes
and tricks incidental to the occasion,
and these afforded great amusement
to the concocters of the divers means
by which the unsuspecting vic
Tins were caught. The stone potatoe
and chalk egg turned up
in great profusion during
breakfast time, and pocket-books
lying on sidewalks and roadways
found many "gulls," who snapped at
the bait 10 find themselves the OBJ
ject OF ridicule, rs carefully concealed
strings drew the prizes they sought
away from their very hand.
The source OF this custom is very
hard to trace. Some attribute it to
the travesty of the sending of Christ
from Annas to Caiphas and from Plate
to Herod, and this incident occurs in
one of the earliest written Miracle
plays. That it is an ancient obser-
vance is very certain and it is curious
TO note that the Hindoos practice
similar tricks on the 31st OF March,
the occasion of the Hull Festival.

REAL progress is now making In
tne paving of our central streets a
.consummation, indeed, devoutlyto be
wished. The contractors are tax
/ ing advantage Of the fine weather
prevailing without interruption, and
work for which we have waited 30
long and scolded so much is at last
being done. Nor is it a day too soon.
Careful estimates set up the claim
That literally thousands of people
went away from here last winter, long
before the time allotted to Los
Angeles, had passed, because OF
The terrible condition of the
reetx. Many of these soiourners
6nld have been led to pitch
E6beir tents here and become perma-
fnent residents were it not for their
horror of dwelling in a city
whose thoroughfare's were so
had. For while our roadways
IRE not worse, nor as bad as those OF
many towns whence our visitors
||eome, yet during their stay with us
these people are merely soiourners,
Eloiterers, pleasure-seekers, having nc
business nor other interest to occupy
kIh6ir minds, every slight inconven-
Hence becomes magni6ed in theil
view, and what would be cheerfully
horne under other circumstances
becomes an intolerable burden to the
Efdler, the invalid and tourist. We
should have streets here rs perfect as
lean be and no better investment could
be made than that Of fine avenues
At the present rate of progress, by the
time the next rainy season sets in, We
Ghall have all to be desired in this
lsspect. The Council will do we'll ia

THE Republican party has once
more signalized its ignorance OF
craftsmanship, its unftness to govern
by the novel device of levying tariff
for the pure purpose of taxation.
Taxation has never before been justi-
fed or defended on any other grounds
than those Of necessity. Heretofore
it has ever been held that the acme Of
craftsmanship was the reduction Of
taxation, SO long as the Governments
necessities were provided for. Our
Republican friends try to deceive us
into the belief that taxation is direct
benefit to the taxed-that the heavier
the taxation the richer we become.

RIVERSIDE'S ROADS.
Reports of Progress From All

The Riverside Press contains the
following railroad news relating to
work in that section:
The Pomona and South Riverside
line will soon be completed to the last
mentioned point, and trains will be
put that far on the line to Pomona and
San Diego.
The gap in the line to San Diego is
rapidly closing up and through trains
will soon be running to San Diego via
Riverside. The line from Santa Ana
to Los Angeles will then be built as
rapidly as possible and through trains
will run from Riverside to Los Ange-
les via Santa Ana, and through trains
from Los Angeles to San Diego by a
route 100 miles shorter between the
two cities than around by San Bernar-

As SOON as dividends in protected
manufactures threaten to drop, the
danger is averted by taking five or
ten per cent. off the wages of the
operatives. Dividends in the capital
stock must be kept up at the expense
OF the backs and the stomachs of the
work1nen and their families. The
iron-workers Of Pennsylvania have
been taught this fine economic lesson
time and again.
