CHEEKS ALLIANCE, No. 443,

Sept. z, so.
Mr.. EDITORIAL the last meeting
of our Alliance the following resolu-
tons we're adopted:
WHEREAS, We, the members OF
Cheeks Alliance, No. 443, seeing
that many of the manufacturers from
which our supplies are obtained take
advantage of their protection to
extortion on the laboring classes, and
whereas, we deem it contrary to the
spirit of the Alliance to keep up so
many middle men in buying fertil-
izers, farming implements, etc., and
whereas, we think there is a suff-
cheney of brain among the agricul-
tural class and capital to manufac-
ture our W supplies, we therefore
Resolve, That we ask our Alliance
brethren throughout the State to con-
slider with us the p~racticability and
Importance of establishing factories
to be run under the supervision of
the Alliance.
Resolved, To call on some enter
prising member Of our order to
solicit subscriptions for stock for
above named purpose.

EFFORTS OF desperate sort are being
made to undo the stunning effect pro-
duced by the Mayors exposure of the
unparalleled contract made by the Coun.
Gil with Anderson Rose for the right oi
way for the sewer pipe across his lands.
An elaborate attempt to explain away
the objections of that contract will be
presented to the people, and a specially
appointed committee will lay be-
fore the public special plsadings to
justify the action of the Council.
But no such efforts will at
all succeed. The fact that underhanded
aud heretofore unheard-of means were
resorted to to keep that contract from the
Mayors eyes, and the publication Of
the contract with all its monstrous
features plain to the eyes Of all men,
speak trumpet.tongued in condemnation
Of the scheme. No special pleading will
do away with the deep impression Of
disapprobation produced by the publica-
ton of the naked facts in the case. The
people will do their own commenting on
that contract tomorrow with some
emphasis.

DAYTON, o., August 2S-The Demo
cratic State Convention met in the rink
this morning. During the preliminaries
the mention of the name of Grover Cleve'
land as the noblest and greatest of liv'
ing Democrats, called forth long-contin'
ued applause. Hon. M. ID. Harter, oi
Richland county, was made permanent
Chairman. The platform read and
adopted begins as follows:
First-The Democracy of Ohio, in con-
vention assembled, approve the declara
tion of principles made by the Nationa
Democracy in st. Louis in 1888, and es-
pecially that part of it demanding the re-
duction of tariff taxes. We will continue
to battle for tariff reform until the cause
of the people is triumphant.
Second-We regard trusts, in whatever
form organized, as the legitimate result
of our present tariff system, and We de-
mand tie repeal of all tariff taxes tha
enable them to extort from the people
exorbitant prices for the products they
control.
Other planks favor Just and liberia
pension laws, denounce the Republican
administration for violation of its civi
rvice pledges. The remainder of the
platform refers to State matters.
On the second ballot. Hon. James f
Campbell, Of Butler county, was nomi
mated for Governor.
The ticket was completed as follows
Lieutenant Governor, William Vance
Marquis, of Logan county; Judge of the

An Alternate Proposition.

One of the Ballons sewer organs tries
to make the public believe that those
who are opposing the wasteful PROPOSE
tion on the ground that the scheme is
extravagant, mal-directed and injurious
to the interests of agriculture in the
vicinage of this city, are not sincere when
they say they want to vote the present
proposition down and then support new
proposition to carry the sewage by the
river route. They cite the fact that the
HERALD has said that we have now a
very considerable system of sewerage in
the heart of the city as proof that the
anti Ballonsites will claim that no ex-
tension of our sewers is needed. The
HERALD has no apology to make for
stating facts. The bond organs have
done great injury to our city
by their method of advocating the
Ballona route. In doing go they have
made people abroad and strangers in our
midst believe that Los Angeles was alto
gether without sewers; and they have
not hesitated to charge that diphtheria
existed here to an alarming extent, on
account of the absence of sewers, when
our best-informed physicians have de-
Clared that the city was free from that
disease. 1t was to take the sting out of
such calumnies as this that We drew at
tention to the fact that the heart Of the
city was provided with sewers. The
reckless course of these papers has done
far more injury to Los Angeles than
they suppose, and we do not propose to
let the false impressions they have
spread abroad go uncontradicted.
But as to the alternative proposition,
the HERALD stands where it has always
stood. 1t is in favor of extending and
perfecting our sewer system. 1t will in
sist upon carrying the sewage of the city
to the lands that can take it and that will
be benefited by it. There is only one
direction in which an outfall sewer
should be run, and that is by the river
route, where it can be utilized for the
benefit of all. The nature Of such a
work would be progressive. AS it re-
claimed and made rich the poor
lands, it would be extended until
ultimately it would reach the coast.
In the meantime, the winter over
flow would be treated as the Ballona ad-
vocates proposed to treat the overflow by
that route-it would be cleansed of its
solids and impurities. After that was
done, there could be no possible objec-
tion to discharging it into the river or
into any other channel. When the
Council presents an economical and
proper sewer scheme to the people of
this city, the HERALD will advocate it.
We take the ground that the city ought
to have the best and not the worst sys-
tenn, and the only way to get the best is
to vote down the worst when it is pre-
sented, as it has been in this instance.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-08-29

READERS of the HERALD will find q
lucid communication in this mornings
issue, from q physician OF distinction.
| treating the sewer question in its several
phases. 1t is a mprehensive presenta'
ton of the matter in brief space. 1t is
calm and judicial in tone, and will re-
pay perusal at the hands of those who
wish to learn something about what
they will vote on tomorrow. The
physician does entirely away with the
false and scandalous charges to the effect
that this city is in a dangerous condition
from health standpoint because of de-
fective sewerage. The fact is that nearly
all the densely populated portion Of
the city is now connected with
system Of sewers of quite efficient
putabls fact that the health of Los
Angeles is not only as good as that Of
other cities of it's size, but that, in spite Of
large numbers of invalids who come here
too far gone by disease to benefit by any
thing, I'D therefore die here, as they
would die anywhere, yet the death rate,
augmented as it is by this extraneous
element, is lower than in any city in the
country-yes, than any city on the globe.
This is not said as an argument
against sewers. They are a
necessary evil, and we concede
the desirability of increasing the area in
Los Angeles subject to sewer facilities
at this time. 1t ought to be done, but it
ought to be in conservative, economical
way, with due regard to the rights OF
the taxpayers and to the interests Of
small property-holders. In a new COM
munity like this, things must be done
by degrees.

SPANISH TREASURE.
A Pot of Coin Found at st. Angus
time, Fla.


ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla, August 2S.-This
city is in a fever of excitement today
over the discovery of hidden Spanish
treasure in an old house on the corner of
Bridge and Marine streets. Contractor
Lambias had taken job from Nance &
Brother to tear down a house and clear
away the rubbish. About IL O'Clock this
forenoon an old colored man dug up near
the foundation of the chimney fifty.two
Spanish coins in a rusty metallic pot.
Nance took possession of the coins. The
coins are very old, the latest date being
1906, and several of them ante.
dating 1850. The house and lot
are the property of an American lady of
wealth, who some years ago married a
nobleman of Europe, and Nance will
protect her interest if more coin is un-
earthed, which is confidently expected.
So great was the excitement about the
premises that the police with difficulty
kept the crowd from stalking out claims"
in the cellar and beginning digging opera
tions at once. The lot has been securely
fenced in, and guards are patrolling the
enclosure tonight. Tomorrow's opera
tions are awaited with deep interest.

0mr Arfd LandR.

The visit of the Senatorial Arid Land
Committee to this city will be an event
of vast importance to our section. These
gentlemen are taking the preliminary
steps to inaugurate national enterprise
of transcendent value to Southern Cali
fornis, and it is very proper that our
people should do all in their power to
help them in their work. A gentleman
who has given much time and study to
this subject, has found that in this United
States Land District alone there 9
are over thirteen million acres
of arid lands that belong to
the public domain. Here is an immense
field of reclamation that belongs exclu-
sively to the United States, and which it
would be to the great benefit of the
General Government to provide with the
means of irrigation. Whilst the Govern
ment has received vast amount of
money for desert land selections, in very
few instances have more than the first
payment of twenty-five cents per acre
been made. The great majority of in
choate claims in this district have been
abandoned, and the lands have reverted
TO the public domain. 1t is probable
that three-fourths Of the thirteen
millions of arid lands ia this
district could be made productive, and
are 80 situated that by possible system
of reservoirs to hold the winter rain,
they could be irrigated. All OF the Mo-
jave desert is arabic land if water can
be got upon it. The same may be said
of great part of the Colorado desert.
The Sierra Nevada, the Sierra Madre and
San Bernardino mountains, and the range
which runs through eastern San Diego,
form extensive catchments. Some of these
mountains are covered with snow part oi
the year, and would therefore carry a
great amount of water in that
state which could be used to ad-
vantage, il there were public reservoirs
to retain it when melted, at
proper distributing points. But the
winter rainfall in all of our mountains, il
carefully saved, would be ample to irri-
gate all the lands below them. Just
think of the great boon it would be to
turn thirteen millions of acres of arid and
uninhabitable lands into homes and pro-
ductiye farms and orchards. Then see
