Police Court.

On Saturday last. before His Honor,
Justice Dee. man named William
Fisher was charged with having as
saulted John Horrocks, and struck
him on the head with a weapon, sup
posed to have been pistol. The testi-
mony of several witnesses was taken,
which went to prove to the mind of the
Justice that the prisoner was guilty as
charged, and he accordingly inflicted
a rine of $25. The prisoner appeared in
court yesterday and paid the amount.

THAT the American working man is
better fed, housed and clothed than
the foreign wage Garner, cannot be
denied; but, in putting this statement
to the fore to show that the American
has no need to complain, the fact is
lost sight of that under the system
which prevails in the United States,
or rather under American civilization,
the working man is not content to
live as does his fellow-worker in
Europe, and the spirit of the great
mass Of the people in the Republic is
against his so doing. The underlying
principle of self-government is the
elevation of the toiling masses to
higher privileges than is accorded
them by the oligarchies of the
Old World. The prerogatives OF
of citizen of the American Republic
are extended liberties, higher wages
and betterment in living. This is the
potent argument for the exclusion of
the pauper labor Of China. The
Chinese lthrough centuries of wage
slavery have reached the minimum
standar d of living, and cannot rise to
the level of free workingmen. En-
ployer and employe in the Eastern
States have awakened to the danger
of Chinese immigration, and object to
the introduction of labor forces that
cannot rise to the level attained in the
United States, and which, by its
competition, is calculated and sure to
degrade American labor to the
descending plane OF its civilization.
The cry that the Chinese must go is
no longer a shibboleth, nor is its
event a question local to California
and the Pacific Coast. 1t has become
a matter of National interest and as
such demands the most enlightened
and careful legislation.

Afternoon session .

Nc. Byran of the Ivanhoe Land
Company stated that in 1884 the right
of way for laying a water pipe was
decided to the city. This deed was
given expressly on the condition that
the water system should be taken
across the land in pipes. (Mr. Byram
here read the deed.) The matter was
referred to the Water Supply Com
mittee, City Surveyor and City At
torney, to report at the next meeting.
The special committee to which
was referred the investigation of the
condition of the street where the Los
Angeles City Water Company hadsre-
Gently laid pipes, reported that the
water company had made excava-
tions for laying pipes on Buena Vista
street and on High street, and had
not left said streets in as good a con
dition as before such excavation. 1t
also found that the company had ex-
cavated portion of the earth filled
approach at the east end of the Buena
Vista street bridge, and that the pipe
is leakiug and has washed away por-
ton of said approach. By the ad-
vice OF the City Attorney the Super
intendent of Streets had been author
lied to notify the company to make
the repairs before taking further
action. The committee also found

REPUBLICAN politicians and news
papers pretend to find subject for
coincidence in the fact that Mr.. Cleve-
land seems so certainly to be the
coming standard bearer OF the Demo.
cratic party. How gauzy such pre-
tense How our Republican friends
would rejoice could they but discover
a man who could command any en-
thusiastic following in all parts of the
Union, such as Mr.. Cleveland finds
with us 1t is, to be sure, pity, on
the very verge of the battlefield, with
the hosts in array for the con-
fiict, that our leader has been found,
and that all the combatants on our
side know just who they are to
follow. Better far is the status
of the Republican army who at this
stage of the proceedings do not know
whom they are to follow, and cannot
find man who can command the
confidence of half the hosts. We are
pretty well content with our position.
If they prefer theirs that is all right
for them. 1t is a noticeable fact, all
the same, that they are fishing very
diligently in all ponds for candidate
who can unite all the factions OF the
the party, and that up to this time nc
fisher has landed any fish which the
rest do not insist is gudgeon, and
will not do.

A DIMINUTIVE STRIKE.
The Messenger Boys Refuse to
Work and He Fined.

About quarter past 10 O'Clock last
night the messenger boys of the Los
Angeles Telegraph Company refused
to work. A HERALD reporter visited
Mr.. f. H. Reese, the manager, Who
stated that he did not know the reason
for the strike. The call patrons were
more or less annoyed and delayed,
but the night service was not Grip
pied. Upon inquiry amongst the
boys it was learned that Mr.. Reese
was new manager and Had been
there about one month, during which
time he had enacted a number Of
fines from the boys, which they
considered exacting and unjust. Yes
terday one Of the day boys was fined
half dollar for leaving the Office for
short time to go tothe closet. The
boys are paid rs cents per day, and
state that lately some of them have
been fined that amount per day for
what the manager designated as
Offences" They spoke in glowing
terms of the former manager, Mr..
Schilling, and said they intended to
remain out till the fine system was
obliterated. About midnight the line
men we're sent for, and performed the
duties of the boys. Altogether fifteen
boys have quit work.

EASTERN newspapers have done
their readers irretrievable harm, in
many instances, by their mendacious
efforts to belittle California, her re-
sources and attractions. There are
thousands of people all over this Sec
ton who came here last winter with
money in their purses, brought here
with the intent to invest in property
in or near Los Angeles. But, unfor-
fortunately for them, theil
minds were poisoned before
leaving home with misrepresentation
to the effect that property hereabouts
was held on narrow margins, that de-
ferred payments were becoming due
that there would not be money a,
hand to redeem notes, and that a
crash was inevitable. Trusting te
these false outgivings. these unfor-
tunates have been lnging about the
streets for weeks, Watching for the
promised break. and the .'conse-
quent opportunity to buy at
their own prices. There has
been no such anxiety to UNLOAD
as was fondly hoped for. The money
has lain idle in the banks, the spring
is drawing near its close, and days,
weeks and months have beer
wasted for nothing. The break has
not come, and will not come. Prop
erty is held in strong hands
and prices are firm. Pur

The world moves. While in the
semi-tropic belt of the United States
the arid desert is being reclaimed by
bringing to the surface the subter-
ranean flow OF waters, on the other
side vast tracts Of submerged land
are being recovered by driving back
the waters to their fount. In Holland
eight acres or more of land are each
day restored to cultivation, and it is
estimated that in that historic coun-
try, which has fought 80 sturdily and
90 long against the encroachments of
the ocean, the area of dry land is q
million acres greater now than it was
in the sixteenth century. For many
years past Dutch engineers have been
proposing the reclamation of the
Zuyder Zee. The Zuyder Zee was
formedin 1882 by an invasion Of the
ses, which engulfed seventy-two vii
lsges. The prosecution Of this colos-

the rule prevails as far as the resi-
dence portion of the city is concerned,
but the business portion is compelled
to furnish its own carts. The
houses fronting on New High street
are especially excluded from
this kind of corporation ac-
commodation, and the business
men, whose buildings unfortunately
front on that thoroughfare, are
harrassed with police warnings to
have their sweepings carted eff. One
corporation cart calling once a week
would do this business handsomely,
at slight expense to the city. On that
street alone enough money is spent
every week in this kind Of hauling to
buy horse and cart. No one can
charge our municipal government
with paternal tendencies in this
respect, at least.

Mr.. BLAINE telegraphs that he will
visit London about the end Of May,
and return to his native heath about
the end of June. That is after the
Republican National Convention
meets. He goes on to say that under
no possible circumstances will he take
part in the approaching Presidential
canvass. 1t really looks as if Mr..
Blaine was dead in earnest. Indeed,
we are led to the conclusion that
following the example of the striking
engineers, he is both "tired" and
"sick."

The New York Herald, comment
ing upon the mortality OF that city,
points out that the present winter has
been very fatal one, the extreme
cold having slain thousands OF people.
Take, for instance, the month of JAN
uary: Out OF 8, ,435 deaths, 1867, or AZ
per cent, were due to diseases Ct the
re spiratory organs, Group, diptheria
and consumption, more or less pro-
duced by the cold weather. In
Brooklyn the mortality was even
higher, the deaths being 736 in total
OF l $50, or for the two cities 2 1903 in a
total of 5,024, 46 per cent, or nearly
half of the deaths being from
the effects OF the weather. The Her.
aid does not see any better prospects
for the remainder OF the winter, re-
marking: "Judging from the recent
and present weather developments OF
the season the large death rate OF JAN
uary was maintained last month, and
may be increased during the first ten
days of March. According to high
medical authority humidity, cold and
high winds are the three agents
that chiefly promote the prevalence
of pneumonia, and the last third
of winter is it's carnival period. "
Its carnival period there has been not
only during the first ten days of
March, but during the whole OF this
clustering month to date. The old
proverb, as to its coming in like lion
and going out like lamb, has not
held good in the eastern sections OF
the Union this year. March came in
like the dell and threatens to 60 out
like the foul fiend." There seems TO
us only one way to escape
the death of half the popula-
ton of the East by diseases
of the respiratory organs, before half
the allotted days of humankind are
passed-that is to come to Los Ange-
les. In this section summer heat
rarely reaches to ninety degrees, and
frost is rarely known in mid-winter.
Pneumonia is very rare, and similar
ills that flesh is heir to along the
Atlantic coast are almost unknown in
this land of sunshine and flowers.
There are not more than ten or fifteen
days in the year when invalids cannot
pass six to ten hours out OF doors.
Here the we'll remain we'll and the
sick recover health and strength.

The New York ssHerald'' On Cal.

Western journals in all the States
of that section aview with alarm"
the phenomenal movement OF popula-
ton to the Pacific Coast. For fifty
years this hegira to the westward has
been going on, but it did not reach
beyond the eastern slope Of the Rocky
Mountains. For ten years past the
great basin of the lakes and rivers has
been to small to hold all the people
following the scourse Of empire" !"
The Pacific Slope has become known
in all its marvellous and varied at
fractions, and these have been as a
magnet to draw home seekers to this
Mecca of the world. Peo-
pie with farms and town
lots to sell in Iowa and
Minnesota, and those who have
butchers shops and bakeries in those
States do not like to see this stream Of
settlers pass their doors. This is the
full and perfect explanation of all the
I'D erse comments which have of late
appeared in the papers of the section
referred to. The policy, while not
by any means justified or suggested
by the facts in the case, has method
in it. In the case of the far Eastern
press it is not 80 clear why Cali
fornia should be belittled in its
columns. When New York jour
nails are found at ohis mendacious
effort to blind their readers as to the
real facts concerning California one is
at loss for a rational explanation.
The New York Herald has achieved a
bad eminence in this ungracious effort
to injure not only our State, but its
own readers by such persistent mis-
representation of facts-one is lost in
amazement for reason. In view Of
the facts in detail we are led to the
conclusion that the managers of that
enterprising paper were imposed Upon
by unprincipled persons. The
matter in which our interests
were attacked appeared under
the guise of communications
and correspondence. The source and
responsibility of these attacks were
thus concealed. On several occasions
the Herald has had the good grace to
deliver itself editorially touching our
affairs, and in all such utterance that
journal has done the amende honorable
in really abundant measure. A dis
patch in our telegraphic columns to-
day quotes an editorial in the Herald
which says:
"The grand rush of people to
Southern California, and its sudden
growth from semi-wilderness to the
site of populous cities. busy villages
and hamlets, with boundless re-
sources within their reach and a
splendid future before them, is one
Of the phenomena of the times. Cali
fornia is the greatest miracle in an
age that is full of miracles"

TO WORKERS.

In the South Bend, Indiana, Times,
of a recent date, are Il few hints to
workers and thinkers which are well
worth reproduction. Hon. Andrew
Anderson, in writing to that paper on
the tariff question says:
There are some truths that are self
evident. Let me state a few, with their
corOllarieS:
l. All taXationtends 10 impoverish 4
taxpayer. If l am taxed on every pound
of sugar and pound of salt and yard OF
cloth 1 buy, am, so much the poorer
at the end of the year. 4 tariff is a
tax. Wherefore, the present oppressive
tariff impoverishes the farmers and
workers who pay it and should be re-
duced and reformed.
=. The government of this country
cannot create wealth. Wealth is sim
ply the accumulation of labor. y gov
eInment doesn't labor Government
can build navies and raise armies; but
all this is done at the expense of the
taxpayers. 1t cannot make q ten-penny
nail, except at the cost of the people.
1t, therefore, follows as a necessary
consequence that whenever the lord of
the mine or the king of the loom is en-
riched by what is called a protective
