even, upon the former very
superior editions of this pub

illustrations of Los Angeles, taken
at points where the best and most
striking views of our growing city can
be obtained. 1t will also contain en-.
cravings of the principal public build

and private residences. Sketches o.
semi-tropical scenes, vineyards, orange
groves and other places OF interest
will add to the pictorial value of the

No stronger argument than this
intelligent criticism could be advanced
to induce Congress to make a liberal
lump appropriation for the work in
San Pedro harbor. Congress is
asked to make an appropria-
tion OF at least 100000
at this session. With this sum a
depth Of from eighteen to twenty feet
of water at high tide will be obtained.
That will give us better harbor than
Charleston, Mobile or Galveston
! las, Az. -.:,. ~. permit all but the
largest draft deepsea vessels to come
in and unload at the wharves. This
would do away with lighterage, which
is now a very heavy tax upon the
commerce OF this city. The import
ance to the commerce OF this
progressive section Of having
a safe harbor accessible to large YES
sells can not be over-estimated. To
secure port at this point for less
than a million dollars is an achieve
ment of which the Government ought
to be proud. When we think
of the many millions expended
at other points without procuring prac-
ii al results nearly as great as have
been obtained at San Pedro, we are
amazed at the gingerly manner in
which our claims have been treated.

A KIND of journalism has lately
sprung into existence which smacks
very much of newspaper privateering.
1t consists OF pirating in territory be-
yond its jurisdiction, where it goes
solely for the purpose of making
money, and if it fails to bleed the
community in business way, it pro-
ceeds to blackmail it. In Southern
California we have had a surfeit OF
this kind of journalistic freebooting.
Agents are sent here from San Fran
cisco and Eastern cities to "write up''
this section of the State for some some
obscure sheet, and they charge roundly
for nearly every line setup and for ev.
cry paper struck off. By profuse prom.
ises of tremendous circulation" ad-
vertisers are drawn into patroniziug
these parasites of legitimate journal
ism. When the special editions arrive
they prove to be in their entirety a
rehash or copy Of articles taken
from the local press. After they have
got all they can out of us, they fire.
quently show the cloven hoof, and
proceed to denounce Southern Cali
fornia. This is frequent occurrence
with Eastern journals. We advise
all, for the good of Southern Cali.
fornia, to let these newspaper inter.
lopers alone.

In estimating the chances of San
Francisco to be chosen to-day as the
place of holding the Democratic Ma
tional Convention, the fact that nine.
teen votes. out of the twenty-four ne
cessary to elect, are already secured,
should be considered as significant.
There is something very fascinating to
Eastern men in trip to California,
and it requires but little coaxing to
get them to come here when there is
a. decent pretext for doing 60. We
have seen that in the past few years
the Knights Templars, the Grand
Army men and the Odd Fellows
have held one of their sessions in
this State. The National Teachers
reunion will also be held this year in
San Francisco. All OF the national
orders and organizations that have
held their meetings on this coast
have gone home greatly pleased with
their treatment. If the Demo

determine to meet in San Francisco,

AMBROSE BIERcE, the Thersites OF
San Francisco journalism, cynicizes
once week in the Examiner. Some
times he uses his wormwood with
powerful effect upon the frauds and
empirics of the State; but his pen is
as trenchant in exposing political pre-
tenders as it is in castigating social
abuses. In his terse and pungent
way he thus bastinadoes the late Re-
publican candidate for Governor:

J, hn F. Sw,ft's address to the Repub-
licans. l am aware that it is ancient
history and l don't propose to discuss
it on its dement's. l only want to call
attention to one of the reasons which
he gravely assigns for issuing it,
namely, lest his silence should be
attributed-or as he prefers to say
"construed"-"to a want of faith
in the triumph of our candi-
dates at the election next Novem-
ber. There spake the politician

hioeous frankness. 1t is the
nature of that thing to bel eve what
ever it wishes to believe, and to con-
slider doubt OF its party's success in
any future election, or in all future
elections, an exceedingly reprehensi
ble frame of mind, partaking of the
character of political treas N. Mr..
Swift-Whom have to thank for the
use OF him in illustration he is no
worse than the rest of them-would
no doubt rather be thought to have
faith in the success of his "princi-
pies" than in their soun1ness. He
would "view with alarm" the gene
sis of the vaguest doubt Il his mind
that the Republicans will "sweep the
State" for it would seem to him, and
in him would really be, the first
symptom of a slackening allegiance.
The man who sells his soul to the
devil of politics is expected to throw
in his rcason--which ne can very
well afford to do, SEEING it consented

HarbOr and O'her ApprOpria-
lions.

The dispatches yesterday informed
us that the Senate Committee on
Public Buildings had reported favor
ably upon an appropriation of $500, ,00O
for the proposed Federal structure for
this city. 1t is to be hoped that
this amount will be granted. Ii
is not too much for building suit
able and adequate to the wants of the
Government in this city. The Board
of Trade of Los Angeles has pre-
pared very elaborate and complete
memorial to Congress on the SUBJ
ject of appropriations. A care
full perusal of this memorial
will chow that the business OF
this locality will fully justify the
Government in erecting building
that would cost at least the sum re-
ported by the Senate Committee.
The net receipts of the Government
from the Postoffice, Land Office, In
ternal Revenue and the Customs
service, since 1882, aggregate $1,l35,-
1913. The Government has received
from this point that handsome amount
of money over all expenses, and yet
not a dollar of expenditure in any
permanent improvement has been
made by it here, if we except what
has been spent upon the Earbor at
San Pedro. And it is curious to note
the parsim6ny with which Con-
gress has dealt out to this
great and exigent improve
ment driblets ranging over period Of
sixteen years. During that time a
total of only $7O5,OOO has been ap-
propriated to the deepening of the
entrance to our harbor. But not
withstanding this wasteful and
parsimonious method of appropria-
tion, the work has been attended
by results which show that "a liberal
system of expenditure would have
given us by this time "a commodious,
safe and accessible harbor for deep
sea vessels. Whensthe work was
commenced, in 1871, the depth of
water on the bar was variable, being
bare at low spring tide water, and be-
tween one and two feet at mean
4 low tides. Vessels having draft OF
from twelve to fourteen feet can now
enter the harbor. This wonderful
advantage has been gained for the

BILBoA's NEW BRIDGE.

town has its railway and travel car route to
Bilboa, but no steam ferry or bridge exists to
establish communication across the stream.
One difficulty IS to bridge has been the
great expense, having in view the arrange
ment OF the proper grade. The problem,
however, has been lately solved by NJ Al
berto Palacio, a talented architect, who has
designed rather novel movable bridge
The structure is on the suspension prin-
ciple. At the dock line on each side of the
river are two iron piers, on which the bridge
cables are supported. The towers and cables
need only have strength enough to support
themselves and suspension platform or car
on which the traffic is carried Hence the
construction is much lighter and less costly
than an ordinary bridge would he. Between
the towers two pairs Of rails are arranged,
on which runs truck, pendant from which,
by means Of skeleton frame and guy ropes,
is platform for passengers, carriages, horses
and carts, etc. This platform is hauled back
and forth across the river b. means Of an
endless cable worked by steam engine at the
base of one Of the towers. The platform
moves on a level with the street grade on
either side Of the river, and is therefore very
convenient of access for all kinds of traffic.
The height OF the bridge at the center of
the span is about $50 feet above high water,
thus allowing plenty of clearance for vessels
The bridge will cost SIC, 600
