University Place.

The examinations in the University
are nearly closed. 1t is a matter OF
congratulation that the examinations
show considerable degree OF pro-
gress on the part of the students in
all the classes. The school was never
SO prosperous as now. The outlook
for the next term, which will open
April 4th, is excellent. On Tuesday
night, the 9th, the Sophomores will
give an exhibition which will doubt
less be very interesting. On Friday
night last the concert given by the
College of Music was, on the hole
very credita BILE, nearly all the per
formers doing we'll, and some ad
mirably. Among the latter We might
mention the duet by Misses Ruth
Hall and Mabel Morgan. Miss Edith
Brown would certainly come into the
category. Fully twenty of the stu
dents and quite a number outside the
school were converted during the late
meetings, now closed for the present

Duty ON Rails.

EDITOR HERALD 1T represents the
oppression of the tariff that the Los
Angeles County Railroad Company
purchasing its steel at $40 ton in
Liverpool, is compelled to pay the
Government $l7 ton tariff for the
privilege of bringing it into the
United States and constructing a rail.
road to develop the country. Again,
not rail of the steel could be landed
until the entire duty Of $25 500 was
paid. A bond was refused, and even
certified check and greenbacks were
each rejected. Nothing but coin
would be received. Mr.. Hellman
kindly came to the assistance of the
Company, and shipped the money to
San Pedro to meet the exacting de-
mands OF the Government So the
Government locks up with it's trouble
some surplus this needed coin. While
monev is made in manufacturing and
exporting cutlery and fine machinery,
the less valuable manufactured pro-
duct of steel rails can be bought and
impcrted at profit. We, as a nation,
are sufficiently self-supporting to be
allowed to manufacture those things
we can manufacture cheapest, and
buy of others those things we can
buy cheapest. Yours,

The New Charter.

EDITOR HERALD The City of Los
Angeles is six miles north and south
by FIVE miles east and west and yet
the new charter if adopted would pre-
vent three inch water pipe being
laid in any street in this area however
short the street or sparse the settle
ment. Now three inch pipe under
good pressure would furnish water for
sixty families, but the new charter
would prevent anv pipe less than four
inches being laid. Now there are
many more times as much pipe under
four inches in use in this city as OF
four inches and above it. The new
subdivisions could not afford to put in
four inch pipes and yet it certainly
adds greatly to the desirability and
value of this property to have water
piped through it.
The proposed charter would ham,
per with its provisions many of our
enterprises. There is too much legis-
lation in it. A dead town can stand a
great deal of legislation which would
be serious burden on an enterpris-
ing community. Yours truly,
M. l.. WICKs.

close the saloon doors on Sunday, thus
giving all chance to divert their atten-
ton elsewhere. Sunday generally is con
sidered by the dealers their best day,
when in fact they should have their
doors closed doing double blessing to
themselves and the community. IF the

Flags of the Confedercy.

The Confedercy had four flags. by the
way, and not two, as is generally stated.
besides the various State flags carried
by some of the regiments. The familiar
.'stars and bars'' was adopted in March.
1861, while the capital of the Confed-
eracy was still at Montgomery, and first
waved above the old State House in
Alabama. There were three horizontal
bars, two red and one white, with nine
white stars in a circle on blue union
in the upper left-hand corner. This
was so much like the old gridiron that
it led to confusion and mistakes in the
field, and in September of the same
year battle flag was adopted-a red
flag with thirteen white stars displayed
in blue stripes crossing the red field
diagonally, the whole having a narrow
border. In 1868 the "stars and bars"
was supplanted by flag with white
field. having the battle flag in the
corner for a union. and on the 4th OF
February, 1865, in order that this might
not be mistaken for flag of truce. the
outer half of the field beyond the unloA
was covered with vertical red strlps>
