The sewage Again.

To EDITORS OF HERALD: To this little
sewer project set forth by Wednesdays g
Times l wish to call public attention, and
for the reason that consider it matter
Of public interest
Municipal government is not establish
ed for the purpose Of showing how much
money can be taken from the people,
but rather to confer benefits upon the in
dividuals collectively, and while one of
the most pressing needs Of public inter-
est at this time is proper sewerage, our
local statesmen and financiers should
keep in mind that immediate or pressing
necessities are not an excuse for wanton,
extravagant or useless expenditure of
public funds. Without criticizing the
article in the Times, setting out in light
intended to deceive those unfamiliar with
such matters, what consider to be lift
out of the public of about $50, 900, l
wish to set forth as fact, apart from the
question, that cement pipe is not
desirable for sewage, and that thirty
inch pipe will not carry on that grade
one-fourth Of the sewage, to be connected
within six months after it is completed; !;
ID W tAlO CO5b w tl0 Citly lulIty -fuCl
cement pipe, one part cement and two
parts sand, best quality, fiat bore in
that quantity should be laid at big
profit, at $3.50 per foot; trenching and
filing, 8 #. it,, 70 cts. per cubic yard !;
two-fhirds yard per linear foot, so cts.
This is an enormous price but it gives a
total Of. only $500 per linear foot, and
SO 900 feet at $2.0 90 is 5000. Any man
familiar with the grade Of the Southern
Pacific Railroad knows that the trench
and fill can be done at profit for 25 cts.
per cubic yard. What then is the
city going to pay the extra 100000
for, and will the same question arise in
a few months that now vexes the Vernon
district? Now the fact that one Of the
Councilmen and member Of the sewer
committee can furnish a man to do the
work. and take city bonds for $75, 900,
the other $50 900 to be paid in cash, may
be tempting, especially as the bonds look
like bonus for doing the work, but let
US all have chance. CONTRACTOR.

wears ago? Every abuse it now de-
nounces or complains OF was inaugurated
by itself when it had absolute control in

Every reform it now promises was made
necessary by its own legislative and ex-
ecutive action.
AS TO THE MILLS BULL.
Carlisle further reviewed the fallacy Of
the Republican claims; its relations to
trusts, homesteads, naval and merchant
marine, civil service reform and finances.
As to the Mills bill he said !:
81 think it is safe to say that
nine tenths of the people who are
daily denouncing it, have never read it,
and perhaps would not understand it If
they had" He then proceeded to ex-
plain the salient points Of the bill in
question, particularly the sections re-
garding wool, tobacco and whisky.
He declared that Democracy does
not advocate free trade, but
believes the interest Of all our manufac-
turing and other industries would be
advanced; that the wages Of all our
laborers would be advanced, and the
general welfare OF the whole country
greatly promoted by repeating, as
far as possible, the taxes upon
raw material, and reducing our taxes
upon actual necessities Of life, and upon
this simple proposition it proposes to
stand or fall in the great
contest now before MS. The au-
dience listened with interested at
tention to Speaker Carlisle, frequently
applauding his sentences. At the con-
cIusion Of hisspeech, storm Of applause
broke out. He was followed by Gov.
Hill, who was warmly received with
applause and cheers.

From the moment when it was first
placed before the public. 1t is the gem
eral favorite among the many beautiful
subdivisions Of the City Of the Angels,
and nothing will be left undone by the
owners to make the tract the most at
tractive residence property east of Fig

future Wordsworth, standing at the corner
Of Eighth street and Central avenue, and
seeing the beautiful young settlement of
lovely homes on the Well tract, and the
grand old mountain range Of the Sierra

may well exclaim:
''Earth has not anything to show more fair;
Dull would he be of soul, who could pass by
sight 80 touching in its majesty"

mission, except to
FoMENT STRIFE AND DIscoRD
Among the people, and no ambition
except to hold office and control the ex-
penditure Of public moneys. And yet
during all that time It has paraded itself
as the special guardian and sole custo-
dian OF public interest, and as the only
political organization having patriotism
and wisdom to govern the country.
We have as much interest as our op-
ponents can possibly have in the con-
tinued prosperity Of all our varied in

development Of country like this re-
quires the investment of immense

tory of the world heretofore, and we are
therefore in favor Of that policy which

has been the friend OF labor, and it will
continue to stand for the rights of the

seek 10 depress or degrade them.

BASEBALL sMALLrALK.

The rain on Saturday cheated the Wash
ingions out of another victory over the
Giants-not that they would have won
Saturdays game, for they probably would
not, but Keele would have pitched and
Titcomb and Crane would probably have
gone in the box to-day and tomorrow.
OFF of one of these they should have won.
Still there is an excellent chance of win
ning anyway when Whitney pitches, for
the Giants are mere babes when facing his
delivery. ..,.Says the New York Star:
"Ward is not first class player, but an
educated gentleman" Outside of New
York Ward is considered iirst-rate
player. Several clubs would gladly pay
him the highest salary paid any short
stop. The Star doesn't know good thing
when il sees it. If the New York papers
would stop abusing the players and try to
instill little winning enthusiasm in them
the nine might stand higher. Billy
Harris of the Press hits the nail on the
is self.contidence. They are heavier bat
tiers and better fielders than the Chicagos,
but not one man on the nine expresses
confidence of beating the Chicagos out.
....".Ansop inspires his associates with
his own supreme self-conldence, and it
tells......The Sporting Life backs up THE
CRITIC as follows: "Jim Whitney, Hank
O'Day and Ed. Daily should be able to do
all the pitching for the Senators during
the balance of the season, and therefore
if Gilmore can be so disposed of to an ad-
vantage, it would be n good business
transaction to let him CO."
