WHILE it is believed that the Presi-
dent-elect intends giving the Treasury
rortfolio to the West. there seems to be
no end TO the complications in making
the selections. Last week the best in
formed people were Of the opinion that
ex-Secretary Widom was to be the chosen
one for the Treasury, but now trouble
has arisen as to his place of residence.
Some Minnesota statesmen allege that
the ex-Secretary has not been resident
of that State for six years, while New
York politicians are just as certain that
be does not hail from the Empire State.
Well. no matter, let him hail from the
country at large. No mistake will be
made, at anyrate, if he is appointed.

IF the military bands in San Francisco
attempt the insult that it's said they con.
template on the Fourth Of ,JEIy, there
will be sufficient excuse. for the eople
turning upon these boycotters and .idins
them out of the city on sharp-edged rails.
The story is that these bands threa ten, #
ordered out under their obligations of en-
listment, to parade blowing tin trumpess
and tish-hornS. We trust they will al
tempt nothing of the kline, for, while tie
American people will bear a great de sl.
there is a limit TO their patience and for
bearance, and when once aroused they are
apt to handle DULLES and boycotsers
roughly, whether they ara bandmastero or
Migrants. This whole business of boy
| cotting the Fourth of July in San ran
| cisco at the bidding of a Ian who hasnot
yet been a citizen of the republic two
years, is humiliating, disgraceful anG.l ter
| ribly irritating. When It comes to sach a
pass as this, that the people of any oity OF
the Union are not at liberty to celebrate
the nations birthday as they choose
within the bounds of order and ieeency,
because labor unions drag into the matter
wage contention, it IS time to consider
what the legitimate outcome of such
policies must be, and whether or not sons
other method than the usual one should no
be adopted for observing the one day Q
the year over all others.

of 800 trout, one of which is twenty-five
inches long and weighed when landed

by Mr.. Simpson with No. hook, and

Controller Dunn Makes the. Discovery
That They Are Illegal.
Assemblyman Briefly OF. Los Angeles
was recently in this city, and while here
succeeded in inducing the State Board of
Examiners to invest S91, SOC OF Los Angeles
county bonds for the benefit Of the State
school fund. After signing the agreement
the Board of Examines turned it over to
Controller Dunn for his signature, which
was necessary in orGsF to draw the cash
from the Treasury. The Controller has
lost none of his vented carefulness, and
scrutinized the bonds closely. AS a result
he made the startling discovery that, while
| authority to issue the bonds was given in
1887, and while the Endorsement thereof
| read, Signed tAis Sd day of Jar1arv,
1887, yet the bonds are signed by Char
man Perry of the Los Angeles Board OF
| Supervisors and Auditor Hamlin, neither
| of whom took Office until eighteen months
| subsequent to the time when the sigma.
| lures are alleged to have been appended
| The Board of Examiners, upon being mott
| fled of the discovery, agreed with the Con.
trOller that ii was fatal to the legality Of the
bonds. 1t was the opinion of the Stat,
| officials that the affair was the result only
of carelessneSs on the part of the Lo.
Angeles county officials but the question i:
now how to rectify the blunder.
The Treasurer of Los Angeles is in town
ready to take the money home with him
but he will have to return empty handed
