CLIMATE is the element on which we base all
our claims of superiority.-LoS angeles Herald.
Central and Northern California have
just as good; and in addition better,
cheaper, more productive lands, and better
related to the great markets. Every
claim Southern California makes we can
match and add another, without a particle
of exaggeration.

THAT Wilson. the son-in-law of ex-
President Grevy, has been convicted and
sentenced to long Imprisonment and heavy
fine for his rascally transactions in the
decoration scandal, is one of the best evil
dences of recent times of the vitality of
justice in the Republic of France. Really,
with such man similarly related on trial
in the United States, his conviction would
have been matter Of grave doubt.

The long expected tariff reduction bill
has been given to the public at last. Al
most simultaneously with its birth we are
furnished with the opinions of politicians,
the division of sentiment is Enthusiastically
marked. The general character of the
measure has been forshadowed, and pretty
thoroughly discussed in advance, and the
people are well informed upon the effects
that are anticipated by its enemies, and
those expected by its advocates We are
promis d a bill from Mr.. Randall upon the
same subject which will probably attempt
to occupy a middle ground between the ex-
IRENE low and high-tariff men. When
Mr.. Randalrs bill is presented, the issues
will be clearly defined upon which the
platforms for the approaching campaign
will be based. Abstractly, the committee
bill is not free-trade in the sense in which
that doctrine is treated by the philosophi-
cal political economists, Just as the present
tariff schedules are not radically protective
along the whole line This is evidenced by
the demands during the last three years from
different sections of the county, and deter
mined by immediate local interests, for
higher duty upon certain articles than
now obtains and for a lower rate
upon others than even the committee bill
proposes to grant. Before these measures
are finally passed upon in Congress- their
operations, were either a law, will be so
definitely ascertained that the three classes
of disputants contending, respectively for a
high protective tariff, tariff for revenue
only, and free trade, will be marshaled in
distinct columns The debate that is to
follow will probably surpass in interest
and intensity of feeling any with which
the country has been agitated, excepting
only that which eliminated in the civil
war

Mr. ROBERT G. INGERsoLL defends, in
recent paper upon the relations of art
and morality, the nude in art, contending
that it is really and truthfully modesty.
Thus it has, says he rendered holy the
beauty of woman. Every Greek statue
pleads for mothers and sisters. From these
marbles come strains of music. They have
filled the heart Of man with tenderness and
worship. They have klndled reverence
admiration and love-" In another place
he declares that prudery pretends to
have only those passions it cannot feel.
That everything except the truth wears a
mask, and needs to, and that only little
souls are ashamed of nature Mr. Inger-
soil may be as radical in his defense as the
prudes in their assault. The worthiness
of the nude in art depends at all times
upon the environment; upon the ex-
preston and upon the thought intended to
be conveyed by the work. When we speak
of the defensible nude in art, there must
always be understood that which breathes
only purity. 1t cannot be said that
nudity, because artistically handled,
is therefore commendable. True art, as
Mr.. Ingersoll well says, refines, uplifts,
civilizes, enlightens, develops and strength
ems. Just so far then, as the nude in art
moves in these directions, it is not open to
assault. The essayist declares that art
creates an atmosphere in which the pro-
prieties, the amenities, and the virtues
unconsciously grow. So indeed it does,
when its apostles are themselves pure
in their conception of ideals, and chaste in
the "visible expression and thought" with
which they robe them. Mr.. Ingersolrs
essay is powerful defense of art as a
moral force, and there is not in it a
thought that is not the apotheosis of pur-
ity, but we think the brilliant essayists
has not made clear the distinction that
exists between the nude in art that is
prostituted to passion, and that which
looks upward and above unholy thought
and contemplates only lofty ideals.

some time come about as now prevails.

SAN PEDRO HARBOR.
Congress Urged to Construct a
Break water There.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The report
of the survey made by Engineer A.
H. H. Benyuard with a view to build
ing breakwater at San Pedro harbor,
has been transmitted to Congress.
The engineer warmly recommends
the construction Of a breakwater, ex-
pressing his belief that it would GER
tainly protect the anchorage of steam
ers and other deep-water vessels. In
addition to this the structure would
allow of the building OF wharves along
the westerly shore of the bay in which
deep. water vessels might lie safely and
discharge their cargoes free from the
expense now entailed by lighterage.
Mr.. Benyuard. states that most of the
stone required could be obtained from
the Santa Catalina islands. The total
cost OF the breakwater is estimated at
$4,045, 200. This estimate is based
upon the supposition that the funds
for carrying on the work would be
provided in such sums that the stone
could be conveyed from the island to
the bay, distance of about IS miles,
on barges provided for that purpose.
If lighters have to be employed the
expense would be considerably in
creased. f. H. Mendell, Colonel OF
Engineers, adds his Endorsement Of
the proposition.
