has in view the forcing Of the figures for
the construction of our ships of war to an
absurd figure. The circumstances OF the
last opening of bids would seem to sus-
tain the Examiners position. But, as
matter of fact, we are trifing with this
important concern of naval ornaments
and coast defenses. The United States
ought to create immense plants capable
of turning out vessels of war OF the
modern standard. In the face OF the
appropriation of one hundred million
dollars, in lump sum, by Great Britain,
to build additional ships for a navy
already redundant by comparison with
that of any other power, this country
doles out few millions to the pro-
prietors of private or corporate
shipysrds. There is something
indescribsbly picayunish and I'M
dignified in this petty way of dealing
with great national concern which may
become great national exigency in a
very short time, or any day. for that
matter. The sanguine American senti-
ment that no nation will venture to at
tack the United States, is probably based
on correct appreciation of the general
belief in our reserve strength, but Byron
is authority for the statement that moth
ing is 80 certain to happen as the impos'
sible. The United States ought at once
to proceed to the creation of navy yards
and plants capable of turning out ord.
nance such as that which forms the
armament of the Benbow. This is the
surest and quickest way of making this
country independent of ship building
trusts.

Mrs. CHARLES CRocKER is another
name to be added to the list OF common
sense philanthropists, who do not rely
upon post-mortem bequests to benev-
olent institutions, but establish them
during their lifetime, when they are sure
that their charitable designs shall be
properly carried out. That lady has just
laid the corner stone in San Francisco for
an Old Peoples Home, which she will
erect and see under way herself instead
of trusting it to her executors.

ADVOCATES of the wasteful and extrav

ADVOCATES OF the wasteful and extrav
agant Ballona route sewer system claim
that the storm drains are sewers also
and do not add materially to the cost o.
the system. Such a statement ia very
plausible, and misleads the less intelli
gent voter; but when it comes to be
tried on it's merits it is found to be want
ing in almost every element of truth
To carry off the storm water in heavy
rains, the only time there is any need
for their services, the storm drains must
be four, five or six times
the capacity necessary for sewer pur.

The Triumphant cruise of the
Cruiser.


Cruiser.
The very circumstantial report OF the
successful trial of the cruiser Charleston,
furnished by Mr.. J. P. Dunning, the re-
porter of the Associated Press, who was
on board, will be read with universal
interest. This California built war vessel
has more than met the requirements of
the Government both as relates to the
sustained power of her machinery and
speed. The War Departmentrequired that
she should meet all the tests during a
four-hours' run. She not only did this,
but she extended the time to six hours,
and for the first hour made 1915 knots
per hour in a sea SO heavy that the
screws were part of the time out of water
and racing in space. The report says
that she exhibited seaworthy qualities
that were much admired during
the toughest part of the trip.
But what seems strange to a
landsman is that the Charleston
made as much headway in the rough
sea, when part of her propellers were ex-
posed, as che did in the calm waters this
side of Point Conception, where she ran
on an even keel, with her propellers en-
tirely submerged. The average speed
seems to have been 1875 knots per hour.
1t will take some time to make all the
calculations from the data secured by the
inspectors before we shall know the exact
results of this great trial. We can rest
assured, however, with the main demon.
stration that she has accomplished the
tests required by the terms of the con
tract, and will be accepted by the Coz
ernment.
| This is a feather in California's cap o
| which We cannot be too proud. 1t in
sures to this coast a very large share in
the building Of the gr eat navy which oul
country has commenced to construct, and
that is point that will cut no small
figure in our indu strial prosperity.

poses alone. That does add materially
to the cost OF sewer when one comes
to lay several miles OF it. There is
another objection to the use Of sewer
larger than the required capacity, even
more serious than it's cost. If sewer is
only one-fourth filed during nearly the
whole year, it becomes generator OF
mephitic gases, many of the most deadly
of which rise, being lighter than air, and
flow upwards out of the sewer into the
houses of the people. Instead of theif
use as sewers being an argument in favor
of the storm drains, it is really their
worst condemnation,
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-08-25

IT is admitted on all hands that the
Ballona sewer demonstration last night
was very tame affair. 1t was q forced
effort to enlist the sympathies of the
workingmen in the wssteful project. 1t
lacked spirit, and only subserved the
purpose of disgusting many intelligent
workingmen, who looked upon il as a
demagogical bid for their votes.

CanS-TWO More Victims.

DENVER, August 24.-During the
present month a dozen persons have
lost their lives in this city and vicinity

manner, her flesh peeling off her bones.
Death soon ended her sufferings.

serious was the breaking of leg of a

suffered bruises and contusions.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
SACRAMENTO, August 24.-The follow
ing letter has been received by Attorney
General Johnson from Governor Water
man.
SACRAMENTO, August 81.
Hon. G. A. Johnson, Attorney General:
DEAR SIR-The arrest of Stephen J.
Field, Justice of the Supreme Court of
the United States, on the unsupported
oath of woman, who on the very day
the oath was taken, and often before,
threatened his life, will be
burning disgrace to the State unless
disavowed. l therefore urge upon you
the propriety of at once instructing the
District Attorney of San Joaquin county
to dismiss the unwarranted proceedings
against him. The question of jur-
isdiction of the State courts
in the case OF Deputy United States
Marshal Neagle is one for argument.
The unprecedented indignity On Justice
Field does not admit of argument. Yours
truly, R. W. WATERMAN, Governor.
JOHNSON ACTS ON THE SUGGESTION.
Acting upon the communication from
Governor Waterman, Attorney-Genera
johnson has addressed letter to Dis
trict Attorney White, at Stockton, in
which he says that in view of the fact that
here is no evidence to implicate Justice
Field in the shooting of Terry, public
justice demands that the charge against
him be dismissed. The Attorney Gen.
eral says: "If any eviden ce
should come to light hereafter i'm
plicating any person in this
matter of go much gravity, your discre-
tion to proceed under new complaint is
not sought to be controlled"
THE PROCEEDINGS NOT YET DISMISSED.
STOCKTON, August 24,-District Attor-
ney White has not yet dismissed the pro-
ceedings against Justice Field, and re-
fuses to say what he will do. He said
he had not received the Attorney. Gen.
erals letter, and that such request as
it contained would not amount to a COM
mand.
The District Attorney went into the
Justices Court this morning and moved
for continuance in Neagle's case until
Thursday next, and it was so ordered.
The charge against Field was not dis
missed, and it was not referred to in the
proceedings in Neagle's case.

THE Indian Rights association and the
Indian Defense association have addressed
letters to the chiefs OF the Sioux Indians,
advising them not to accept the PROPOSE
tons OF the government in the matter OF
the sale of 5000, 900 acres OF their reser-
walton. There are at liberal estimate
10000 Sioux Indians, men, women and
children, and their reservation contains
% 100000 of acres. Not 5000 acres OF
this vast domain is in actual use by the
Indians. The terms proposed by the
government are liberal and fair. II the
Indians do not accept gracefully, they
should be made to accept. That is about
the best way. In the mean time We may
be permitted to remark that the two as
sociations contain among their members
a good many first class cranks.

The question is inspired as much by

fundamentally hundreds of thousands,
in both hemispheres, have been restored
to health and happiness.
Hon. III. II. Warner, then, Is leading
and honored resident of Rochester, net
only, but a prominent and influential
citizen OF the United States. On several

member OF the American Institution for
the Advancement Of Science; President
Of the Rochester Chamber of Commerce;
a successful and upright business man.
He has given away fortunes in charities
The celebrated and costly Warner
Observatory Of Rochester was conceived,
endowed, and is maintained by him.
His munifcent prizes Tor the discovery
OF comets has been at once the wonder
and delight OF the scientific world.
The yellow fever scourage in the South,
the Ohio foods, the fire disasters OF
Rochester and other cities awakened his
proIoundest sympathes anu In each in
stance his check foI from $500 to 5000
swelled the several rel,e funds. Where

Our esteemed contemporary, the Albu-
querque Citizen, some few days ago called
the Santa Fe Republicans Mugwumps,
for no other reason than because the lat
ter had sufficient political sense to sug-
gest smart political move at the recent
meeting OF the Republican territorial cen
trail committee. The New MEXICAN ma
turally took up the matter and showed
right plainly that the Albuquerque peo-
pie, who sometimes call themselves Re-
publicans and sometimes do not act
with the Republicans, surely had best
contemplate the beam in their eye, and
not look for alleged splinters in other
peoples eye. Thereupon our esteemed
contemporary became excited and angry
and personal and used mean words.
That sort OF business however, affects us
not. We will pursue the even tenor Of
our way, regardless OF personalities or
bilingsgste. But We will stand up for
this community and for the Republicans
Of this county. Whenever the Citizen
or any other paper makes any attacks on
Santa Fe, We are right there and we will
remain there. Good morning.
