Ii THE Grand Jury should close Sec.
.ond street, between Main and Spring, as
q public nuisance, nobody could blame
it. Stagnant pools of water and mire
that "are rank and emell to heaven
greet the eyes and of sctories of all who
are compelled to pass that way. The
same street on the north side, from the
City Hall to Fort street, is also in dis
graceful condition. Why is not this street
graded and decently paved? There
seems to be no law to compel the paving
of streets miles away that are but little
travelled, and yet here, right in the bust
ness heart Of the city, where vehicles are
crowding each ether for passage, there
seems to be no law that can force the
rich property owners to pave their strset
frontages. The city, itself, sets the bad
example OF permitting the street III front
Of the City Hall to remain unpsved.

THE Federal building now in course OF
erection, will, by no possibility accommo-
date the officers who are entitled to
rooms in it. The size of the structure is
76xS7, inclusive of the width of the walls.
1t will be two stories and an attic. The
intention is to put the Postoffice in the
first story; but the room will be made
quate. There will only be place for
eight hundred lock-boxes while the Post
master now has contracts out for twelve
hundred. The second story will be
devoted to the United States Courts.
The room required for this purpose will
not be sufficient in the second story, 30
that the attic will have to be appropriated
for jury rooms. This ends the matter OF
accommodation. The Internal Revenue
Office, the Land Registers office, the
Receivers Office, and the offices for the
Customs department, will continue to be
rented in other buildings. Perhaps the
best way to arrange this matter, will be
for the Government to put ali the Federal
offices in the new building, and rent
ample quarters from private parties for
the Postoffice.

WE would invite these of our kind
friends in the northern part of the State,
who are exercised about the "bursted
boom" down here, to make note Of the
tact that two large theaters are run to
packed houses here every night. This is
without counting the several minor places
of amusement that are also we'll patron
lied. "Bursted booms," in the sense
our friends understand them, do not
lavish money upon play-houses. Every
seat in the Grand Opera House was filed
last night, and the Los Angeles Theater
was crowded from dress circle to gallery.
The fact is, our people will always fur
nish full houses to meritorious perform
ances, and it would be very "short
commons" indeed, with us, when an
attract worth seeing would not call
out our amusement-loving people in full
force.

WITH the death of General William
Harvey, at the very advanced age Of So,
passes away about the last of those re-
nownsd American officers who were con-
spicuous veteI aus when the Mexican war
broke out. General Harney's highest
reputation and popularity rested upon his
achievemt nts rs an Indian fighter. He
entered the army in 1917, under Presi-
deot Monroe, and was retired in 1868.
1t is not at all to the credit of
the compilers of the latest edi
ton of the american Encyclopedia
that no reference at all is made to
this distinguished and celebrated Amer
can General. One can find all the con-
temporary foreign generals Of note in its
pages, but here is an American officer
who for forty years was in the eyes OF
the public as the ''bravest of the brave"
covered all over with scars, and the ter
ror of the red man, from the everglades
of Florida TO the lodges Of the Big Horn,
Who is utterly ignored.

Au Era of Progress at the Door.

The past year, or perhaps little more
time, has been one of depression in all
parts of the American Union. This is
usually true of all Presidential years. II
was more than commonly so of the time
covered by the last campaign. Theoreti-
cally, MIR. Cleveland was right in his
tariff proposition, but the time at which
it was sprung was singularly inoppor-
tune. From that time business was con-
Quoted on the most conservative lines
until the election settled it that no change
would he made in the tariff schedule.
There was further reason for depres.
sion during this period in the sparseness
of the crops all through the great West.
The transportation companies had but
little to do, their earnings we're small,
and as natural consequence their stocks
fell in price. Then the revenue coming
into the pockets of the farmers was
greatly reduced. The result was slow
times for all sorts of merchants, from the
seller of reapers and threshers to him
who sold 8 rack of salt at some cross
roads store. In the eyes of the world
property Of all sorts fell eff in value, and
was so scarce that all who had a
dollar Jaw nothing go tempting as to in
duce him to part with ''the ready"
During all this time, notes have been
maturing and all sorts of obligations
have been becoming redeemable; and
while money did not generally circulate
freely, yet multitudes of people had the
means to lift their notes, meet their vari-
GUS obligations and pay out. Thus it has
come about that money has been accu-
nulating at the banks. No one has had
confidence to go into any sort of enter
'rise or speculation, but all have boarded
heir money as misers do. The nat
lral result of this has been reached
n full measure. The banks are full
# coin. Thousands of people have mon

rowing anxiety as to what shall be done
With this. 1t is a very lice thing to have
'lenty of coin, but our old friend Midas

INTERSTATE CONENIITTEE.
The United States Must Protect
Itself against kanucks.

New YORK, May 10.-Before the Sen
ate Interstate Commerce Committee this
morning, President Charles S. Smith, oil
the Chamber Of Commerce, testified.
He referred to the fact that railroad
building in India and about Black Sea
ports is being pushed rapidly, and it is
greatly feared that under present
conditions it would not be long
before America lost what little ex.
port trade she had. He even ad-
vocated carrying occasional ship
ments of grain by railroad at less than
cost, when necessary. Regarding com.
petition with the English steamship
lines, Smith thought there was but small
hope OF successful competition, unless
the American lines received subsidy
from the government.
"We have done it for the railroads, why
should We not do it for the steamship
lines? We mnst look beyond the rail-
roads and toward the steamship lines I'M
less we want TO see our flag disappear
altogether"
j. Il. Herrick, Chairman of the Inter.
state Commerce Committee of the Pro-
duce Exchange, thought the Interstate
law was good one in many respects,
and the position of merchants under it
better than while "pooling" was in
vogue. The penalties provided, however.
were not severe enough. There was a
tendency to discriminate against sea.
board points in favor of foreign ports for
Instance, recently where the rate from
Milwaukee to Liverpool was nineteen
cents, while to New York it was thirty

rates would rot be as regular as they are,
line canal acts as regulator. We should
not restrict Canadian roads, for the same
reason. We need them as regulators.
but they should be under the same gov.
ernmental control as our own roads.
John Howard, of the Oregon Improve
ment Company testified this afternoon
about the coal industry. In the matter
Of anthracite coal.tbe United Strtes could
not compete with Canada, duty or no
duty. In other Goals the quality was the
main question of competition. The la

This closed the oral testimony from A.

IN Monday the committee goes to Los

times. The upshot is that money is very
easy in all the great financial centers.
The bank of France and that of England
bave recently reduced their rates of in
terest to an unusually low notch. In New
York, in Chicago and in San Francisco
the rates of interest are low beyond the
average. We know that in all the banks
in this section desposits have been
steadily growing larger, and that the
rate of interest is not nearly as stiff as it
as few months ago.
Now comes the turn in the tide. There
will be good crops this year in nearly all
the Western States. There will be big
earnings for the railroads, particularly
for those known as the "Grangers. !"
Stocks are low, products of the soil are
cheap, realty is cheap, money is plenty.
| There is at the door en- era of higher
prices and OF speculation. Wheat will rise
this summer. Stocks will advance from
this on. Much money will he made in
these operations, aud the last deal is
always in realty. These who come cut
with big winnings at the end Of the deal,
as rule, salt it down in real property.
All along the line there will be an adj
vance, times will be brisk, money will
be plenty, new enterprises will be get
aioot, confidence will grow as each profit
able deal is closed, and then will come
the usual climax in a great, wild specu-
lative rush and crash, three years hence.
The moral to this tale is that property
of all sorts which is now cheap will be
dearer in little while, and that those
who buy first will buy best.
