THE NEW OFFICERS.
How They Will Obtain Their Posi-
tiOns Under the New Rule.


tiOns Under the New Rule.
There was considerable discussion ON
the street yesterday in relation to the
officers who will be elected at the coming
election. 1t was claimed by some that
the City Assessor is not to be elected,
but an examination OF the provisions Of
the new Charter shows that he is in
cluded in the list to be elected at the first
election, although there is provision
that he is not to take his seat until the
first of January next. The officers to be
elected are Mayor, City Clerk, City Attor-
ney, City Treasurer, City Auditor, City
Auditor, Tax Collector, City Engineer,
Street Superintendent, Assessor, t wo
Police Jud ees, nine Councilmen, and nine
memb ers of the Board of Education.
The appointive officers under the Char
ter as follows:
By the Mayor, Mayors Clerk.
By the Mayor, subject to the Council g
confirmation: Superintendent of Build
ings, Water Overseer, Sealer of Weights
and Measures, four members of the Board
of Health(?) and five Directors OF the
Public Library.
By the Council, four Police Commis-
sioners, four Park Commissioners, and
| four Fire Commissioners.
By the Police Commissioner, Chief OF
Police and officers.
By the Fire Commissioners, Chief En-
gineer and Firemen.
By the Board of Health, Health Officer
and assistants.
By the Directors of the Public Library,
| Librarian and assistants.
By the Police Judges, Police Clerks.
By the Board of Education, School
Superintendent, Clerk, teachers and
jantors.
The only appointments which have to
be confirmed by the Council are those
made by the Mayor.
There is a question as to how the Board
OF Health shall be appointed, one section
of the Charter saying that the May or has
the appointment and another that the
Council must appoint.

TWO PETITIONS
From the Chamber of Commerce to
the state Legislature.

From the Chamber of Commerce to
the state Legislature.
The Committee on Legislation have
reported the following memorials to the
Legislature, one recommending the
tsemi-annual payment of taxes, and the
other change in the State Constitution
doing away with the mortgage tax"
These memorials have been adopted by
the Chamber.
These reports were prepared and pre-
eented by Judge John Haynes, Judge A..
w. Hutton, and Chas. G. Davis, of
members of the committee:
To the Honorable the Senators and As
semblymen of the State Of California.
The Los Angeles Chamber of Com
merce respectfully, but most earnestly,
petition the Legislature now in session to
pre- pare for adoption an amendment to
the Constitution of this State, abolishing
that provision requiring mortgages to
pay the tax on mortgages, and deduct
ing from che appraised value OF the real
estate the value of the mortgage-for the
following, among other reasons:
First. It is oppressive upon the mort.
papor in that it does not relieve him OF
any burden, but, on the contrary, in
creases it by increasing the rate OF inter-
est beyond the amount Of taxes from
which he is relieved, inasmuch as the
lender stipulates for rate of interest in
excess of the current rate OF taxation to
cover possible increase OF taxes, and to

THE MORMON CANKER.
How it Eats Into the Public
School System.
STARVING OUT THE TEACHERS
Another Strong Argument Against
Admitting Utah Into the Sister
hood of States.
Associated Press Dispatches to the HxsALI

Associated Press DisDatches to the HERALD
WASHINGTON, January 25.-The report
of the Commissioner of Schools of Utah
for the year 1888, says that the taxation
in the Territory for school purposes is
insufficient and that tuition fees to exc
out teachers salaries, have to be charged
in district schools. This charge for tut
tion prevents many poor children
from attending the schools. The
leaders of the Mormon Church,
the report says, are actively
pushing scheme to establish Mormon
denominational schools in each stake"
in the Territory. Continuing, the report
says: 1t is manifest that no additional
provisions for the support of public
schools will be made by the Legislature
as long as the Mormons remain able
to control Territorial legislation
unless private schools Gn which the
Mormons may control affairs snd teach
their tenets) are allowed to share with
the public schools in the money raised.
A census of the children of school age
4 {between and 1S years. shows that
there are in the Territory GAL boys and
3,641 girls of nom Mormon parents, and
"a ,0S2 boys and %, ,2S9 girls of Mormon
parentage.

THE OFFSCOURINGS.
That Is the Description of the Crowd
at Panama.

WASHINGTON, January 25.-Dispatches
were received at the State Department
to-day from the United States Consul
General at Panama, dated the 18th inst.
He says on the 18th inst. the canal con-
tractor at Culebra reduced the laborers'
wages to 81 20 in debased coin (about so
cents American gold, whereupon the
men, mostly negroes, refused to work,
and told the police that they would rob
for living. In the efforts of the police
to quell the disturbance revolvers were
used and riot seemed imminent, but at
the time of the Consul Generals g writing,
the arrival of the soldiers had produced
a pacifying effect and quiet was restored.
A dispatch was also received from the
United States Consul at Colon, dated the
10th instant, in which it is stated there
are 1000 workmen employed along the
line OF the canal, and there are fully
twice that number of hangers-on, all OF
the very scum of the earth.

SAN Francisco, January PA few
weeks ago Mrs. David Terry filed mo-

receiver be appointed in the estate of the
late William Sharon. To-day the attor-

should not be appointed. They allege,
as Mrs. Terry is not restrained from
prosecuting her motion, they may be
subjected to great harrassment, annoy

attempt tn Wreck Train.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, January 25.-An
attempt was made last night to wreck
the Colorado, Utah and Pacific passenger
train on the Union Pacific near Wilson,
Kansas. A large lot of heavy timber
and boards had been piled on the track,
part of which was knocked aside by the
engine and the remainder run over by
the train. The spot selected was where
the train runs on high embankment,
and had the train left the rails there
would have been fearful loss of life.

A FORCED reIegran N

The case against Eugene Riggin, who
is charged with forgery, was on trial dur

Justice Lockwood. 1t is charged that on
the 18TH of last month Riggin forged the
name of one of the McDuffee Brothers,
the former proprietors of the Glare Bell
Mine, to telegram which was sent to

cution finished its case late in the after
noon, and the defense put on several

prosecution. The case was continued
until to-day.
