THE FRENCH MINISTRY.
1t Makes Its Bow and Speaks Its
Little Piece.


PARIS. February 23.-A ministerial
declaration was read in the Senate and
Chamber of Deputies to-day. 1t says:
"In responding to the Presidents appeal,
We have not hid from ourselves the diff
culties of the hour, and are sustained by
the thought that you will not refuse to
cooperate with men presenting them
selves to you determined to accomplish
the duty required by the situation. Our
great task will be to secure the adoption
of the budget of 1890, and to assure, by
a broad, tolerant and wise policy, the
success of the Exhibition which will
show, in industrious and pacific France,
all peoples industry and work. We
hope you will satisfactorily conclude
other important measures, such
as the military laws, discussion
of which has commenced. We
consider that the Governments
principal duty is to prepare for all Re-
publicans and all Frenchmen, loving
order and liberty, a ground for common,
energetic and decisive action, with a
view to defend and strengthen the rule
of peace, justice and progress which
France, in founding the Republic, de-
sired to give itself. While deciding to
cover with our responsibility officials de-
voted to their duties, we shall severely
judge faults and shortcomings. We con-
slider it our imperative duty to resolutely
take all the measures necessary to main
tain order and respect for the Republic
by counteracting, or, if necessary, re-
pressing factious enterprises" The dec
laration was received withcheers by
members of the Centre.

THE visit of the several legislative
committees to Los Angeles cannot fail
to have impressed those gentlemen wit
the claims of this section upon the recog-
milton of the State. Southern California
is painfully handicaope at Sacrament O..
The population of this section has in
creased fve-fold since the apportionment
based on the census of 1880, and we are
practically not represented at all. This
was perhaps unavoidable, but it imposes
on the northern and central counties an
obligation to treat US fairly. The glaring
inequality in the representation of Cali
fornia could be remedied, to some extent
at least, by providing for State census
to be taken every five years, and falling
so that it would be intercalary to the
Federal census. The latter is taken on
the even decades, and the State enumer-
alton could be made to fall midway be.
tween them. Thus. the Federal census
being taken in 1890, the State census
could be arranged for 1885, and so on.
Or, if they thought more expedient, the
State school apportionment might be
made, at designated intervals, the basis
for the legislative assignment. As the
case stands now we are practically dis
franchieed,
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-02-24

the rights OF the United States. He,
probably correctly, ascribes the difficulty
to the meddlesome disposition of colon
lists and consular agents. If the German
representatives at the conference ap-
prosch the matter in this spirit, an
adjustment will be easily reached. The
great Chancellor appreciates the ex-
posed condition of German commerce in
the event of war. He still maintains
his right to punish Mataafa, but ON what
he bases it, nobody in the United States
or any other country where absolutist
ideas do not prevail could tell. Even a
Samoan has the instinct Of selt-preserva-
tion; and with him, as with other races,
it is the first law of nature. Even an eel
wriggles when it is being skinned, and a
South Sea Islander may object to see
his country gobbled up by the Teuton OF
anv other people.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-02-24

IT is perhaps just as we'll that the Re.
publican majority at the late election was
30 sweeping. There will now be no
question of divided responsibility. We
are assured by all the Republican papers
of this city that we are going to have an
era of honest and economical municipal
administration. The HERALD, in the in
forest of the people, hopes that this may
be so. But we have generally had occa-
sion to notice that those people are not
to be most trusted who are given to
vaunting their own honesty. An expert
enced individual generally takes ususual
precaution when he has dealings with
one of these self-indorsed men Of integ-
rity, and the citizens of Los Angeles will
do well to apply the same rule to their
newly elected servants. There may be
no occasion for this extra vigilance, but
it will not be thrown away. The time to
laud the new officials for their Roman
integrity is when their term of office
draws to close. The HERALD pledges
itself to join in the chorus, if it shall have
been deserved.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-02-24

THE fact that Dakota has been divided
into two States is powerful argument
for the ultimate creation of q State o
South California. The precedent TO,
such action was set in the creation of the
State of West Virginia. With q coast
line seven hundred miles long, and with
as great diversity of climate and pro.
duction as that which exists between
Sweden or Schleswig- Holstein and the
Riviera of the Mediterranean, there is
every argument for such a division,
when the new State would
start off with q population of
close upon half million and an assess.
ment value which is respectable in
volume, even when compared with that
of some of the older States. Nothing
like secession is contemplated here.
When California is divided it will be
with the assent of majority of the
voters of the Commonwealth, or at least
with the assent of the Legislature of the
State.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-02-24

IT SEEMS to us that our fellow-citizene
Of Santa Ana take strained and querul-
Gus view of the anxiety of the great ma
jority of the people of this county to
preserve intact region which, under
the name of Los Angeles, has become
famous all over the world. Our desire
to hold ON to our Southern brethren
shows one thing very clearly, and that
IL that we have a high appreciation of
their society. The threat to suspend all
trade with us will scarcely be carried out
IN their calmer moments. The HERALD
has repeatedly contended THAT Santa
Ana ought to have special deputy tax
collectors and every other facility and
demand short of downright separation.
The presumption is very strong that the
people of Santa Ana Valley have traded
with us in the past because they found
their advantage in doing so. Any bill
which proposes to leave the question to
he decision of the whole people of Los
Angeles county, instead of q fraction
fbsreof, win receive the hearty support
4 this journal.

The robbery of the Southern Paci fic
train near Pixley, day before yesterday, is
one of the most sensational things that
has occurred in California for long years.
During the last decade, the gay and fes-
tive knights of the road have contented
themselves with standing up stage
coaches in Lake county and other Sc
cluded regions, far from the telegraph
and detective centers. This last opera
ton smacks of the James era in Mis-
souri,, or rather, it recalls the career of
Vasquez in this State. Fifteen years
ago stage travelling in Southern Califor-
MIA was attended with no little risk. At
any angle Of the road masked man
with a Springfield rifle was liable to call
a halt, and Immediately thereafter that
redoubtsd chieftain and his followers
would appear and 60 through the whole
array, and what they left required no
special guardianship. Occasionally loss
c. life life followed On show of resistance.
For months the southern portion of the
State was practically surrendered
to Vasquez and his gang. He
was finally captured by a posse
of Sheriff Rowland's, amongst whom was
our townsman, Gen. John M. Baldwin,
Col. Albert Johnston, newspaper man
named Beers, who has lately turned up
in this city, and others, at the house of
Greek George, at the base of the Cahu-
enga mountains. His trial and execu-
ton followed in due time. The reward
of So, 900, which is offered for the arrest
of the train robbers, ought to result in
their arrest. This is the first time a
train of the Southern Pacific has ever
been "stood-up" between Los Angeles
and San Francisco. The robbers were
mounted, and if they get we'll into the
mountains their capture will be feat of
difficulty and peril.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-02-24

THERE was a joint meeting yesterday
OF the Chamber Of Commerce, Board OF
Trade, members Of the Board of Super
visors and prominent citizens, to consider
the question of reducing Mr.. Mason's
enormous assessment Of Los Angeles
county. This assessment was founded
upon boom figures; and, compared.with
the assessment of the city and county of
San Francisco, it is ridiculously high. If
the Golden Gate were assessed upon the
same standard as Mr.. Mason has estab-
lished for Los Angeles county the figures
would roll up to billion and a quarter,
while the actual assessment Of that city
is only $500 600, 900. OF course the pluto
Gratis of San Francisco and the other rich
Bay counties are only too much delighted
when they see an interior county like
Los Angeles paying 100000 or $4,000
into the State Treasury in excess of her
proportion, which is the effect of our dis
proportionate . assessment. If the
money were kept here the matter
would not be so important, but it
is sent up to Sacramento, and that is the
last we ever see of it. Mr.. Mason was
present at the meeting yesterday. and he
showed no sign of being affected by the
common sense appeals of our leadirg
citizens. This was to be expected of
man who actually went to Sacramento
and fought against the reduction of ten
per cent the State Board of Equalization
made in his extravagant assessment.
Obstinacy could scarcely go to greater
length than this. Mason and his con-
science, and his determined opposition
to any measure of justice towards his
Los Angeles fellow.citizens were all dis
posed of by the fair and impartial action
of this State body, which reduced Ma.
sons assessment nearly eleven million
dollars. That was probably the most re-
markable incident in the whole annals
of taxation-a County Assessor fighting
against the relief State Board of Equal
ization extended toward his own fellow
citizens. Relief must be looked fol
somewhere outside of Mason, of happy
memory.

CABINET GUEssES.
Four Of the Secretaries are Said q
be Selected.

Four Of the Secretaries are Said TO
be Selected.
INDIANAPOLIS, February 80. - There
has been but little Cabinet gossip here
to-day. The only four places that are
considered definitely fixed are those of
Blaine, Window, Noble and Wana-
maker. There il considerable talk,
however, of probability that the South
will yet be given another representative
besides Noble. 1t is alleged that Noble
vii, 40 in as the pereonaI representative
and choice of General Harrison, and, as
the Southern representative, will be the
one who has more direct connection with
Southern affairs, and who will be able to
give some help in the practical solution
Of the Southern question.
Since it was announced that Aiger
was no longer being considered, 1t was
thought that Rusk was sure OF the War
Department, but, within the paat day or
two, that has been regarded as exceed
ingly doubtful, owing to his gcographi-
cal situation. 1t is regarded as
certain that the new Secretary
OF Agriculture will certainly come
from the west and this tends to
throw doubt as to some OF those who
have been considered certain for other
positions. The Central Western States
will have three departments, the Inte.
rior, Treasury and Agricultural, and the
State, Postoffice and Navy, at least, will
90 to the East, leaving TO the South and
the Pacific Slope the departments OF
War and Justice. Many Southern Re-
publicans who have been here have
urged that the South be given the De
partment of Justice as it is to that de
partment that they look more than any
other for the recovery of their rights
This would make the appointment o
Judge Speer not improbable. By Others
it is thought that the navy instead OF th'
war department will be assigned tt
the South or the Pacific Slope.
The arrangements for the inauguration
| trip have been concluded.

Postal Clerks Removed.

WASHINGTON, February 23.-In re-
sponse to resolution by Senator Chace,
the Postmaster General, to-day, sent to
Congress statement showing the num-
ber of changes in the railway postal
clerks from January l, 1885, to December
81, 1888, with the reasons therefor, as
follows: By death, 129; by voluntary
resignation, 1927; by removal or invoi.
untary resignation, 1875, divided as fol-
lows-for physical or mental incapacity,
118; for ineficiency in discharge of duty.
428; for official misconduct, 262; for per.
sonal misconduct, 3l3; for improper
character or habits, Al; for political
causes (partisanship), 729; for all other
causes, 55; for no cause assigned, "a.
There were on the rolls, on December
last, 1858 railway postal clerks who were
In the service on March 5, 1885.

Chili,s Bid for Immigrants.

PANAMA, February 23.-Chili has passed
a law excluding Chinese immigrants
from the Republic, but all other classes
of immigrants find warm welcome,
and the Government has repeated it's
orders to immigration agents abroad,
authorizing them to give a free passage
to all who desire to emigrate to Chill,
where, on their arrival, they will receive
board and lodging for fifteen days.
Hundreds of such emigrants have ar
rived and are on their way from Panama.
Five hundred thousand dollars is the
sum the Government has authorized
to expend in promoting this immigration.
Whilst Chill is encouraging immigration
on gigantic scale, her own pepole are
emigrating over the Andes.

THE EXCURSION BUSINESS.
Who Will Advertise tine Semi.
Tropics Now?

VINO Will A0VertlSc tine semi.
Tropics Now?
1t is recognized fact that the excur
sion agencies of Los Angeles have done
a great deal toward making known al
the East the attractions of the Semi.
Tropics. 1t is claimed by those in po.
sition to know that as much as 80 per
cent Of the tourists and home.seekers
who have focked into this section dur
ing the past five or six years had their
eyes and steps directed hitherward by
these energetic agents. The East was
flooded by them with pamphlets setting
forth in glowing terms the charms of the
climate, the riches of the resources, the
health-giving qualities of the Semi
Tropics.
But the excursion agents occupa-
tion is in q measure one of
love-if indeed it is not love-
altogether. The roads which center
here have cut off the profits of the excur.
sion people, and they are no longer at
work for the interests of this city as
they did before. Indeed, they NAV be
forced to work against the interests of
this city. 1t is an ominous fact that
sAASoo es6ohSAOo oAO Oil ORouluk OIIlCDB III
San Francisco, and directing the atten.
tion of the entire tourists and home-seek-
ers to the upper counties. This is mat
ter which needs immediate attention.
The Chamber of Commerce should
keep eyes as sharp as those of
q lynx on this affair, and be
ready at days notice to spring
in the breach with q well devised plan
to do what the excursion agents have
been doing. 1t will not do to let every
voice be hushed that has named Los
Angeles on the other side of the conti-
nent, nor will it do to let the illustrated
pamphlets spread broadcast drop out of
sight to be seen no more. Il
is of vital Importance to Los An
geles that eloquent tongues
be kept repeating the story of the attrac-
lions OF the semi-tropics. and that the
same story be spread by the medium of
printers ink in all attractive forms By
logic and fascinating picture.
Let Angelenos beware, let them be astir,
u they will be submerged as deep in
he soup as one-half the candidates in
he recent city election.
