mean that under no c.rcgm-

Now comes really the serious business
in the question of county division. 1t
will require two-thirds vote OF the peo'
pie in the territory set off for the new
county to ma ke the separation legal
finality. A representative of the HERALD,
who has spent several days in the Ana
helm section of the proposed county, re-
ports considerable opposition to division
among the farmers. Their opposition is
based on the conclusion they have
formed, that a new county, with less
than eight millions on the tax-roll, will
have to place the tax rate enormously
high to support distinct government OF
its own. If this idea comes to be gener-
ally accepted by the small farmers of the
proposed new county, it will be difficult
to get the two-thirds vote necessary to
consummate the separation.

TUESDAY, MARCH 10, 1850.

The chances of Mr.. Osborne, of the
Express, for the appointment oil Public
Printer, seem to be encouraging. 1t is
understood that the entire California
delegation support his claims, and he
has strong backing from the other dele
cations from this coast. But, after all
the trouble with a Californian in Wash
ington is in the fact th at the political in
auence of this coast is considered insig-
nificant as compared with that of the
powerful States the other side of the
Mississippi. Offices are dealt out on the
basis of this influence, and when can
didate comes into competition with one
backed by State with twenty or thirty
electoral votes he is, in the language o
the street, "likely to get lett." Still We
hope to see Mr.. Osborne come out sue
cessful,

The Blocked Roads.

SIMS, CAL, March 18.-Slides and fall
ing rock delayed both the north and
south-bound passenger trains yesterday.
Large forces of workmen were busy all
night and day clearing the track. One
hundred and five passengers are here
to-day also fruit train and carload of
horses. The passengers and horses were
fed at the company's expense. A. 7.
Crookshank, a passenger from Port
land, became violently insane and
caused great CONSERVATION. He
was locked up in the caboose
until he began to be quiet. He was then
released and closely guarded. To-day's
north-bound passenger is at Delta, and
the south-bound has just arrived here,
making three passenger and one freight
train within twenty-six miles. At s
O'Clock the road had just been cleared,
and all trains are running. 1t is freezing
tonight, and no further danger is appre-
hended.

THE Council at its meeting yesterday
did number of things which will re.
ceive the hearty approval of the tax
payers. In the first place, the City
Fathers declined to pay the expenses of
the Councilmen who went East to inves-
tigate the West Sewer system. This will
surprise no one and will probably please
everyone except the enterprising pro-
moters of the West Outfall Sewer Com
pany. The Council also sat down heavily
and properly on project by which sew
eral well intending citizens of Los An
geles proposed to get deed from thu
city to some ninety-three acres of land,
worth round million dollars, according
TO that excellent authority on city real
estate values, Councilman Ben Cohn.
The city claims to own all the land iu-
volved, on which is located reservoir No.
4, and it was invited to accept deed to
thirty-seven acres and give a deed to
ninety-three to the Messrs. Tom Keefe
and others. The important work of the
day was rounded up by restoration of
the City Water rates to those which pre-
vailed last year, which put an end to a
controversy that threatened to become
quite heated.

THE MATTER OF RATES.
Judge Cooley Addresses Words Oi
warning to Railroad Men.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-The Inter
state Commerce Mission resumed the
hearing in the matter of export rates and
methods adopted bv the trunk lines in
computing them. The managers of a
number of lines explained, disclosing the
fact that in order to secure export busi-
ness, the published inland rates had not
been maintained. The roads which
maintained the rates lost most of their
export business. That of the Lake Shore
road dropped from 36 per cent to Z.
Chairman Cooley said to the managers
in part: SIT is very manifest that there
have been things going on here that
should stop at once. We must compli-
meut Mr.. Hayes for coming forward and
stating frankly just what the facts were
as regards his own road. We should
have been better satisfied if like course
had been taken by all the otaers. They
ought all to do what no doubt Mr.. Hays
will do, namely, endeavor to comply with
the law. Here is the law, and it is not
for you hereafter to say to us that there
are practical obstacles in the way of COM
plying with it, that you lose business
by SO doing, and all that sort
OF thing. We are not conce rned in that.
We do not wish to do anything to make
you lose business. At the same time we
cannot accept it as q valid excuse that if
you obey the law you will thereby lose
business. The time ought to be con-
sid cred as gone by when manager can
come to us and say, Il named this rate
and did it regardless of the law, be-
cause my competitors had done the same
thing There is no excuse for that prs c.
tice. II wrong is done by one road to
the injury of another the proper method
of redress is not to duplicate the wrong,
but to go before the committee in author
ity, whether it be the commission or a
voluntary association, with complaint
of the wrong. One crime in railroad
circles is no more to be excused by au-
other than one theft is to bo excused by
another"
Judge Cooley announced that for GER
tain southern roads that had asked a
hearing, continuance of the inveetiga-
ton for two weeks had been granted.
The Commission did not wish to express
an opinion that would affect the interests
of those roads until they had been fully
heard, but in the meantime the practices
in the north, which have all appeared
unjustifiable, should not be continued.
81 trust" he added, THAT after saying
30 much we shall not, two weeks hence,
have complaints brought to US that these
practices have been going on. In the
meantime parties must not take the re-
dress of their wrongs into their own
hands when the legality of what they
complain of is, to say the least, very
very doubtful. They ought also to re-
member that, while We continue this case
for two weeks, the law is not suspended.
That remains in force as we'll as its pen
alties."

others. Then the Governor made few
remarks and was wildly cheered.

Construction OF war sb,ps.

We have said a good deal about the
progress we have made in the past three
years toward building up an effective
navy. The contracts now out for new
ironclad vessels will, when completed,
add to our fleet vessels of an aggregate of
5000 tons. The new ships are built
more with view to speed than effective
ness in action with such vessels as foreign
nations now possess and are constructing.
Whilst we ought to have swift war ships,
we ought also to have line-of-battl ships
with which we could hold our own in
combat with the great sea monsters OF
other countries. During the past year
Great Britain launched the Nile, turret
ship of IL $40 tons displacement. This
vessel alone measures nearly the whole
tonnage which our Government has
contracted for in the past three
years. In addition, that country has
five projected cruisers of nearly 5000
tons each, two composite sloops OF LAO
tons, and SIX frst-class gunboats of 700
tons each have been built and put afoat !;
two twin-screw steel vessels of 8 900 tons
are in process of construction, and host
of smaller vessels is being built. A sum-
mary OF British naval work for 1888
shows that seventeen vessels have been
launched, with an aggregate displace-
ment of 50, ,425 tons, and that there are
} on the stocks tHenty-eight vessels repre-
senting Al ,065 tons.
, France has launched one armored bat
tleship Of 10, ,4S0 tons displacement, and
one armored coast-defense vessel of /, ,610
, tons. A second battle-ship of 10, ,4S0ton
, and TWO armored cruisers OF 6,297 tons
, have been authorized, and large num-
ber OF swift, unprotected cruisers are in
process OF construction.
, Germany has added to her naval feet
> two fourteen.knot cruisers, each of 1,30(
tons, and four torpedo boats of $50 tons
each. She has under way an eighteen
5 knot cruising corvette of 1920 tons, ar
ironclad of 5000 tons, and fourteen.
knot cruiser of 1900 tons. Her years
8 work foots up six vessels of 8 900 tons dis
=. placement launched, and four vessels O
8 1880 tons begun.
Italy has launched ten vessels of IS,
, S17 tons displacement, and has building
eighteen vessels of 80, 7O1 tons.
Spain has launched an iron fourteen
Y knot cruiser of lisp tons, and has il
course of construction six belted cruiser
' of 1000 tons each, two protected cruisers
3 of 800 tons each, steel cruiser of 4, 04
8 tons, and four torpedo boats of 600 toni
3 displacement. The protected cruisers art

Fatal Pooling with a Flrearm.

HoLLIsTER, CAL, March 1S.-Albert
Franklin and Robert Cochran, two boys
aged about IA years, were playing with
pistol this afternoon. They had re.
moved the cartridges from the chambers,
but Franklin replaced the cartridges un-
known to Cochran. The latter picked
up the weapon, and in playful manner
took aim at Franklin and fired. The
ball entered Franklin's forehead, killing
him almost instantly.

concerning the inadequacy of Congress.
sional salaries. The Senators particu-
larly seem to think their remuneration
grossly insufficient. This is doub btless
largely due to the fact that there are now
some thirty-three or thirty-four million
aires in that body. The presence of such
plutocrats as Stanford and Hearst, and
many others, together with the magnifi-
cent establishments which they main
tain, is calculated to make a poor man
feel like bound boy at husking. There
are two sides to this question. While the
overwhelming majority of public senti-
ment would resent the doubling OF Con-
gressional salaries, there are multitudes
of our people who think that Senators
sn1 Representatives, ought not to be OBJ
liged to occupy sky parlors in back al
leys. A man who is fit to represent any
district in Congress, ought to receive a
salary which would enable him to live in
at least respectable style. OF late years
Washington has become, during
the sessions of Congress, great
center of fashion. The wealthy
people of New York, Boston and
other Eastern cities, and of the country
generally, are more and more inclined to
flock there. A man with family to
maintain can no more do it on So, 900 a
year in the National Capital than he
could fly. On the other hand it is highly
desirable to maintain habits Of republican
simplicity and to repel the aggression of
insolent wealth. Between these two
lines of speculation there is employment
for the intellect of every one. The kick
of the poor but honest Senators is GER
tainly calculated to excite sympathy.

MR.. WILKINS RESIGNS.
Am Unexpected Announcement In
Railroad Circles.

Am Unexpected Announcement In
Railroad Circles.
The sensation in local railroad circles
yesterday was the announcement of the
resignation of Mr.. II. B. Wilkins, GEN
eral Freight and Passenger Agent OF the
California Central and California South
ern Railroads. Mr.. Wilkins, it will be
remembered, went to Chicago about
three weeks ago and returned yesterda v
morning, bringing with him the surpris.
ing news. Mr.. Wilkins, was quar-
tered at San Diego until the removal
of the Santa Fe's California offices to this
city, and has made host of friends in
both places. Always courteous and obliging
to the public, he was untiring in his
labors for the company and his departure
will be keenly missed by all, especially
by the newspaper fraternity, who owe
many good item to him. Mr.. Wilkins
left yesterday morning for San Diego and
it is understood is making arrangements
with another company which will re.
quire his removal back East. A HERALD
man yesterday afternoon asked General
Manager Dan McCool who would fill the
vacancy. SIT would be rather prema-
ture to give you his name," was the re-
ply. HE is an Eastern man and will
be here in O few days."

ALASKAN SALMON.
The Law for Their Protection to be
Str1cIlY Enforced.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The Secre-
tary of the Treasury has issued circulars
to customs officers calling their attention
to the provisions of the act for the pro-
lection of the salmon fisheries of Alaska,
and instructing them to see that it's
requirements are strictly observed,
and that no dams, barricades or
other distractions are placed in
any of the rivers of Alaska, with
the purpose or result of preventing or
impeding the ascent of salmon or other
anadromous species to their spawning
grounds; and, should any such obstruc
tions be discovered, to warn the persons
who erected them to Immediately reno, g
them, and thereafter to report them 10
the United States Attorney of Alaska
for prosecution under the law. The off
GERS of the Revenue Marine Service on
duty in ALASKA are also required, as far as
practicable, to assist in the enforcement
of the statue.

Anaheim Irrigation District.

The matter OF the petition of the people
in Anaheim for the formation of an irri-
CATION district came before the Board Of
Supervisors yesterday. This matter has
been before the Supervisors for some
time, and has been frequently discussed
by those interested. The Yorbas, and
those who hold land titles under them,
have been opposing the formation of the
district on the ground, that if formed,
water which belongs to them will be
taken away. Yesterday protest was re-
ceived from Susan p. II. Bixby, who
owns lands above the Yorbas, and who
objects on the same grounds. An appli-
cation was received from r. j. Northam
to have his land included within the dis
trict boundaries. Several of the property
owners spoke in favor of having the dis
trict formed, and argued that it was a
necessity for the county that it should be
formed. The Supervisors took the mat
ter under advisement.

THERE is something very funny in the
howl that has been raised in the Repub'
lican press about Mr.. Cleveland's play
ing fast and loose will the Civil Service
law. No public man ever tried more
courageously than the late Democratic
President to carry out the letter and
spirit of this, to many, Objectionable law.
He would in all probability be occupying
the White House now if, like Grant, be
had given up the struggle to enforce the
new official gospel. When the commits
sion of Mr.. Pearson, the Postmaster OF
New York City, expired, Mr.. Cleveland
re-appointed him, although Mr.. Pearson
was a Republican. This retained four
thousand Republican letter carriers and
other minor appointees in Office, and
doubtless largely explains the great defec'
ton in that city from the Democratic
nominees in the late election. Tens Of
thousands of party workers undoubtedly
felt that those Offices belonged to them.
The Washington departments to-day are
swarming with Republican officials that
Cleveland, as we think very injudi-
ciously, allowed to retain their posi-
tions. A San Francisco paper
has compiled the following statis-
tics of the politics of those holding
Office when Mr.. Cleveland surrendered
the reins to Mr.. Harrison, together with
Ehe emoluments received by the Demo-
cratic and Republican office-holders
respectively, viz: Treasury, ,230 Re-
pubIicans, with 81, 1,8S5.000 annual pay,
and 44O Democratic appointments, with
1878, $40 annual pay. Interior-1,674
with $4,000, 600 annual pay,
and 456 Democratic appointments, with
$3.50 600 annual pay. Postofices-44S
with $3.50, 1000 salary, and
l43 Democratic appointments, with
sl75, 900 pay.
We shall await with some curiosity the
Inevitable elimination from the fabric

Democrats whom the Republicans have

THE CHINESE RIOTS REPORTED.
WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The Secre-
tary of State has received the report ol
Frank Kennedy, United States Consul
General at Shanghai, on the recent riot
at Chin Kiang, China. 1t appears that
on February 9th the Consul General re-
ceived from Consul Jones at Chin KiaDg
telegraphic news OF the riot and the
threatened attack on the Consulate, and
request for protection. As there was
no American man-ofwar Immediately
available, the British Consul-Genera
was communicated with, and an English
man-of-war was started from Shanghai
FEBRUARY 9Th, for Chin Kiang. On that
day the British Consulate and four Other
houses at Chin Kiaug were burned, ant
the office of the American Consul guttet
and looted by mob of about 600. Jones
and his family escaped injury. These
facts were communicated to every Minis
ter at Pekin. The Consul General a

destroyed. Among them were the resi-
dences of some American missionaries.
