THE high protection policy of the
Republican party operates very much
in the way that Bob Fash's rules used
to work in the winter of 40 with those
who frequented his tent on the North
Fork of the Calaveras: When a
poker party sat down with an ounce
or two Of capital in front OF each
player, the "house" took a dollar
out of each "double pot" d liar for
every "two pair" or "threes"
called, two dollars for "fushes," /"
and quarter Of an ounce for "fours. {"
Added to these, the modest price of
four bits drink out of a small tin
cup, made up the perquisites OF the
"house." The game invariably broke
up early, because Bob Fash's rules
were always rigidly enforced, and be-
fore many hours the capital OF the
players was transferred to Bob's
s'rong-box. The high protective tariff
OF the Republicans is doing on large
scale what Bob Fash's policy
accomplished on small scale
amongst the miners of Mint Gulch
Those who are protected are
filling their pockets with the money of
those who are not protected. Manu-
facturers whose goods have the benefit
Of tariff margin of from 25 to 75 Der
cent. are milking the rest of the
country out of that mnch more than
their wares are worth. The operatives
in those factories, however. don't
reap much from protection, for thew
are scrimped down to starvation
wages, while their employers are re.
alizing enormous profits and impover.
ishing the consumers. The Great
West is robbed to enrich the Boh
flashes OF the manufac uring East.

be named for the benefit of Los Ange-
les. Time will come when this want
will be met by a plentiful supply of
natural gas derived from the stratum
of gas-bearing earth which underlies
this whole section. The mines Of
Southern Utah will furnish pie ty Of
coal at cheap rates as soon as the
railroad through that section is ex-
tended to Los Angeles. This will be
before many years. Meantime We
are to have in a very few days an
opportunity of trying what sort OF
coal is produced here at our doors
1t is we'll known that small veins
of coal have been found at vari-
GUS points near Los Angeles. The
Plnacate mines, or Santa Clara mines,
southeast of Anaheim were worked
for long time. In the Santiago
caiIon east of Anaheim several fine
veins Of coal were reported to have
been discovered last spring. At Ell
sinore there is mine of coal which
has been opened and is now being
worked. The people Of that place
learning of the coal famine now
prevailing in this city have de-
termined to let our people sample
what this mine can produce.
A couple of carloads are to be sent
here. The arrival of this fuel is
daily expected. 1t will be put on the
market at moderate prices in small
quantities III order that our citizens
may know from actual experience
that good coal is to be had right at
our doors. The experiment will be
noted with much interest.

An esteemed contemporaries most
highly appreciated CO orrespondent,
whose genius evolved the great dis
eovery that there is but one physician
in the city capable of taking charge OF
our health interests in case OF the
smallpox breaking out, is to the fore
again in the columns Of said esteemed
contemporary with rather vigorous
attack on the HERALD's position. His
vigor is, of course, confined exclusively
to the elegant diction he uses. The
reasc ming of this most appreciated
correspondent is far from formidable.
He characterizes the position taken
by this journal as "brainless" one.
That settles the whole case-so far
as a man worsted in the lines of logic
can save himself by a resort to hard
words. The writer informs the pub
lie that he is a "red-hot Democrat. :"
Now, we do not boast Of any ability
at being ''red-hot" on any PROPOSE
ton. We prefer to keep within the
lines of common sense and sober
logic. But there is some merit in
being consistent. Doctors Orme,
Reese and Griffith are all applicants
for the Office Of City Physician,
or Health Officer. They are
regular physicians, are men
OF mature years, and OF large and
varied experience. We are OF the
opinion that these men should
not be held disqualified to hold
this Office because they are Dem
ocrats, and that particularly they
should not be so held by their
fellow Democrats. more particularly
those in the City Cou neil, and most
especially by this "red-hot" one who
thinks man must be Republican
to be qualified to hold Office. But
the writer referred to, despite the
greatness of his brain, had
not learned, when he rushed into
print with the statement that none of
the De mocratic applicants were fit for
the Office, that DR.. Orme was among
those applicants. In an entirely
"brainless" way We are willing to
give this self-confessed ignoramus the
information that the above three
physicians are applica nts, in order to
save him from any further "brainy''
blunders.

A BANTLING news association "born
the day before yesterday" if slang
expression may be allowed, has had
the temerity not only to enter the lists
in competition with a well equipped
and experienced bureau known as
the Associated Press, but the papers
which are reduced to the necessity Of
acceptiu z the service OF this bantling,
are rash enough to challenge compari-
son with the great system whose SER
vice they cannot command. There
are two reflections d-propos to this
subject: First, the matter sent
to the new combination is not
news, or very little of it is.
1t docs not deal with facts, but is
made up in web and wool Of theories
guesses, opinions and Interviews. -
The matter is made worse by the
fact that the gatherers of this apology
for news do not trouble themselves to
be consistent. They send out one
view to-day, and the opposite next
day. In one issue these papers in.
form us that the new tariff schedule
will remove all duty from imported
fruits of all sorts, and in
a day or two comes along
an interview-as it purports to be-
with Mr. Mills, or some other, which
tells US these duties are purely a rev.
enue tariff, and will not be disturbed.
The other attractive feature OF these
dispatches is their gross partisan bias.
Perhaps we speak the more feelingly
of this matter because it is our
own political OK which is gored
by these telegraphic guesses, pro-
phecies and conundru S, under
the guise of news-the Demo
cratic party or some OF its lead
ers. Now, We submit that it is not
the province of news association to
make up the greatest part of its dis
patches out OF interviews, opinions
and guesses, a large percen entage of
whlcl. are adverse to any organization,
political OF otherwise. What with
the contradictions from day to day OF
what went before, and the gross Re-
publican bias Of those dispatches, the
astonishment is great as to how the
concern lives, or as to what sort OF
people read the sheets dependent on
such sources for their news.

Los ANGELES county is assesse foI
the current fiscal year for State and
County taxes the round sum of
$I,250, 600. Of this gross amount the
Taxpayers handed in before the books
were closed 81, 113, 1000, leaving $l37,-
600 to go on the delinquent list. The
city of Los Angeles paid for municipal
taxes 1851 900, and all the towns in
the co unity have paid large sums for
local uses. Besides these drafts on
the property-holders, there have been
expended vast amounts of money in
half a hundred towns in this county
for sidewalks, sewers and other public
Improvements. The total would foot
up away over $2,000,000. All
these expenses, extraneous as they
are to the regular course of business,
have all been met with remarkable
promptness. AS to the delinquent
taxes on the State and County list,
some Of our esteemed contemporaries
m counties with as large population
as Los Angeles claims, but whose
taxes come to less than half ours,
owing to the moderate estimates
made by their assessors, and who
have not been called on for any such
outlays as our people have made for
other Improvements yet the papers
of those places seek 10 make point
out OF the ten per cent. of our State
and County taxes which are
on the delinquent list. For the
benefit OF these carping critics
it may be well to explain that of this
amount delinquent, large part will
turn out to be double assessments and
other erroneous entries. Then there
are many cases where there is a dis
pute as to who shall pay the tax
where property has been sold since
the assessment was made. Another
large amount is on the "Unknown
Owner" category; and lastly, the
Collectors office has had so
much trouble with the books,
and have been 90 overwhelmed
with the great volume of business to
do, that citizens have been unable to
pay their taxes within the time al
lowed by law. OF the $l37, 900 delin.
quent, half OF that will be paid within
The next month, and Of the balance
NE greater part will be wiped out by
The adjustments OF double and erron-
oous assessments.

CENTER-BOARD YACHTS.

Wise Men of the Clyde Swinging
Around to the American Idea.
New York World.
The rumor that Rear-CommOdore
Morgan proposed to send the sloOp May
flower to England next summer, like the
rumor that two large center-board cut
tiers were being built upon the Clyde as
possible challengers for the America
cup, has no foundation. Commodore
MaytlOwer across the Atlantic, and the
basis of the latter rumor lies in the fact
that the Clyde clubs have permitted
center-boards to compete in the three
ton class. In relation to this the Lon
don Field, which may be accepted as
yachting authority in Great Britain,
says editOrially in its issue of Feb. Is,
speaking of the action of the Clyde
clubs:
ut will also be seen that center boards
are to be admitted into the third-rating
class, with view of testing them against
fixed keel boats. The chances
are that the fixed keel boat lowing to
her greater proportional depth will
show up better again st center-boarder
in the small classes than she would in
the larger classes. We have only to re-
member what Madge and Maggie did in
America to realize this, although, of
course, neither Madge nor Maggie met
any of the new compromise slOOps.'"
As even the progressive Clyde yachts
board to the little three-tOnners, and as
the Yacht Racing Association of Great
Britain, at its recent meeting, refused to
rescind rule eight, forbidding the entry
of center boards, it is hardly probable
that any British yachtSman would build
one of large size for home use. As to
challenging for the American cup with
center board, that would be as absurd
as it would be for the New York club to
offer to defend it with cutter.
That the yachting men of Great Brit
ain are. however, waking up to the pos
sible advantage of the board for rae
ing yacht is very clearly shown by the
fact that the Field and other sporting
papers give place to many communica-
tons in favor of its introduction.
The hope of the Clyde yachting men
that the small keel yacht will have the
best chance, based on the performance
of the Madge and Maggie in this coun-
try, will be doomed to disappointment.
The Madge sailed against second-class
UOdtS, IdStlly plepdlou lOl tllo Idct, dIiu
in no wise fit for such contest, and the
Maggie was beaten badly in very
square race off Marblehead by the old
fashioned center-board sloop Vixen.
The result of the Clyde experiment, if
fairly tried, will show that the modern
three tonner center-board will beat the
keel yacht of that size, ancient or mod
ern. as decisiyely as the Volunteer beat
the Thistle last year.

EXPLANATION OF DIAGRAM.
A-Location Of Tilden Heater on first 1oor.

2-Parlor. 6-Laundry.
3-Sitting room. 7-Pantry.
Aiming room.
The diagram is of the lower floor. The
upper floor is substantially the same,
there being bed room over the kitchen.
There are in all nine rooms warmed by
the heater, counting the hall, a large
alcove and the bath room. There are
no doors hung between the rooms down
stairs OF into the hall-only drapery.
The house throughout has been open
during the whole winter. There are
Storm-SaSh OH only four windows on the
first floor and three OH the second. Mr..
Odlum states that the family has used
the front chamber as a sitting room
through the winter; that the rooms and
halls have been abundantly warmed
night and day all winter, and most per-
fectly ventilated; that the air is always
fresh and SalubriOuS, and free from
dust and gas. He added that there had
been no attempt to ecOnOmiZe fuel, and
confessed to have been a little waste
full: yet they would not consume over
five tons during the entire season in
heating these rooms. He said it was
very simple, and easy of management.
1t was characteristic Of all who were
visited that the warmest welcome was
given to the seeker of infOrmatiOn-a
sort of an air of gratitude in answering
all crosS-questions piled them on the
subject.
