THE time located by the Express a
which the commerce OF Los Angeles
was confined to hides, wool, lariats,
saddles and whisky, was not ten years
ago, but was the date Of the adoption
of the present charter of the city,
viz: April 4, 1852, all changes since
that time having been in the shape Of
amendments Il Express.
1t is not true in any sense that the
present charter is an amendment o.
that Of 1852. 1t was passed in 1871
by charter convention Of leading
citizens, who met from day to day
until the whole instrument was form
ulated. 1t is no more an amend
ment of the original charter than the
State Constitution of 1879 is ar
amendment to the State Constitution
of 1849.

THE Morrill, tariff bill was passed in
1868 as a war measure. The protection
afforded by this Act was on an aver
age of thirty two per cent ad ualorem
on the articles in the schedule. The
present schedule affords an average oil
foriy-seven per cent dd cdlorem protec-
tion to the commodities on the list.
The difference is nearly fifty per cent
increase in favor OF the present rate
Of protection. Will the advocates of
tariff fer surplus claim that labor
reaps any proportionate benefit
from this increased protection? But
this is not all. During the years
just following 1868, nearly all the raw
material used by our manufacturers
paid an Internal revenue tax. Much
of this material paid a heavy tax. By
the removal OF the Internal taxation
on the raw material manufacturers
were benefited. This advantage ad-
ded to the increased protection
afforded by means Of the
increased import duty put
on what completes with theil
wares, goes into the pockets of mill.
ionaire monopolistic manufacturers,
Labor is as much over-worked and
under paid as ever. Another hitch in
its belt at once braces it's tired back
and relieves the cravings of hunger
in its stomach.

their widest fights, fallen away short
Of the real outcome Of to-day. The
prophet is not born who can over
estimate the possibilities of our city,
county and section. The HERALD's
wise outgivings and courageous
championing of Los Angeles have
played no insignificant part in her de-
velopment in the past, and our section
will lose nothing in the future which
our prescience and advocacy can win
for her. The attention Of the world
has been attracted to this unparalleled
spot by the foresight and able plead
ings of these columns. There shall be
nothing of all this abated in the COM
ing years. 1t has been the aim OF
those in whose hands the HERALD's
destinies have lain, to keep he paper
at all points abreast, ahead of the re-
quirements of the times. As we enter
on this volume xxx, we are able to
look with some feelings of what we
trust is pardonable pride upon tele-
graphic service the equal of that
given by any paper ON the coast.
We're it not for long and exasperatine

On the very eve of accomplishment,

own great relief and to the satisfaction
and benefit of thousands who look for
the HERALD with as much interest as
they expect their morning meal.

She Has ou,lived Them All.

At Long Beach there is venerable
lady of eighty, who has outlived all
her kith and kin, but who, withal, is
CHEEKY. hale and active. OF course,
she is not able to do much; but she
has kept few chickens, and with wha
she has1earned from these and with
the assistance OF a generous lady here
who paid her rent, has managed to get
along nicely. But lately the people
who own the house she occupies
have returned to the Beach, and she
had to give it up. A lot was secured
for her and the material for a little
house was got together, and Rev. j.
A. Wells, himself almost an invalid
took his coat off and went to work with
a will, putting up with his own hands
quite a neat little shelter, which
the old lady will occupy. Now,

THE proposed charter empowers the
city to pave and re-pave the streets at
the expense of the fronting property
holders. In all well-regulated cities
there is limit to this. When streets
have been once so well and substan-
TALLY paved as to warrant their
acceptance by the city, then they be-
come charge npon the municipality
and not upon the frontage property

THE WOOLSTEEN CASE.
Eleven JurymeM Secured In One
Day.


The much talked of trial of Miss
Hattie Woolsteen commenced in
Judge Cheney's Court yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock, at which time
the defendant, Miss Minnie Wool
steen, their father and counsel were
present. As on Saturday, the defend
ant and her sister were attired in black
and during all the proceedings kept
their faces concealed from the view OF
the public by black wells. The de-
fendant at no time appeared to be ner-
vous or fearful of the result, and dur
ing the impanelment Of the jury talked
composedly with her counsel. AS was
the case at the preliminary examina-
ton the courtroom was filed with
spectators dawn thitlser from curios-
ity, and some of the faces
were the came as seen on
that occasion. Owing to an
order of Judge Cheney no one was
permitted in the court room who could
not find seat, and this gave to the
room decidedly orderly appearance.
The entire afternoon was consumed in
the securing of nine jurymen who
were satisfactory to both sides. When
these had been examined at length as
to their opinions on murder it was
found to be noon, and q recess was
taken until half-past one O'clock.

CHEAP COAL.
The Proposition to Form q Joint. .
stock Company.

stock Company.
EDITORS HERALD: Are we to have
coal at figure lower than present
prices? - IS.
Certainly the ruling rates of to-day
ale much more satisfactory to the con-
sumer than they were a few months
past, no doubt owing to the modera-
tion in the weather and less consump-
ton in consequence. Inotice upon look
ing over Mr.. j. w. Harrison's report
on the coal market in San Francisco,
he saws: ''The list of vessels from
Australia is swelling, yet quotations
are higher, as every new engagement
is an advance on the prior charter
Twenty-eight shillings per ton for June
and July loading in Austrs liza, signi-
fies high cost coal, and this in the face
OF a strong local influence to depress
the market by some OF our local i'm
porters, who have been daily predict
ing decline since the beginning Of
the year-false prophets to date"
The price Of coal in San Francisco
at this time to dealers is as follows:
Australian Goals s.............-......$1 $14 90
Great Britain Goals. 49,: ...... IA 90
Wellington British Columpia) Goals. 16 90
Coos Bay .............. ............ IL 90
Seattle e.................. ....--.... IL 90
These prices to dealers mean about
s. per ton higher to the consumer.
1t is certainly dismal outlook y
cost to the consumer $50 and freight
charters going up for the summer
supply. Ii coal is to remain at such
high figures during the warm months,
the prospects are that it will rule as
high the coming winter AS during the
one just past, yet SO fresh in the
minds OF consumers OF coal.
A few days ago your paper called
attention to proposition, under the
cooperative plan, which, as under
stood it, was that all consumers of
coal should subscribe to stock with
the view Of purchasing coal mine of
good quality Of coal, employing their
own vessels, and thus deliver coal at
cost OF mining and transportation to
all subscribers. This plan, as you
stated, "seems to be feasible"
Ii the property is still open to pur-
chase by the people upon the cooper
ative plan, / think it is the duty of all
to examine into the matter and sub
scribe for what they can, in justice to
themselves. Coal certainly can be
delivered thus direct from the mines
to the consumer, thus saving the ex-
pense and profit that necessarily fol-
low by passing from the miner to the
dealer and from the dealer to the con-
sumner.
Can you inform me who can give
information in regard to the company,
and who receive subscriptions?
