Giving the Lie 20 HIS professions

Giving the Lie 10 His Professions
President Harrison has posed as
lover of Civil Service reform, both in its
letter and spirit. In his acte, however,
he gives the lie to his professions. No
more conspicuous instance of this has
occurred, of late, least as to California,
than in the removal of Mr.. Ii. w. Pat
ton, the Register of the Los Angeles
Land Offics, to make place for Re-
publican partizan of the Boyee contin-
gent. If Mr.. Patton had been removed
outright because he was Democrat very
few people, including himself, would
have had any kick to make. although the
general opinion was that this efficient
official and popular young gentleman
ought to have been allowed to serve out
his term. There is universal opinion
amongst those who have had dealings
with the Land Office that this duties OF
the position were being discharged in q
specially acceptable manner. Neverthe-
less, it was thought expedient to get rid
Of Mr.. Patton, and charges of "a notably
frivolous and fimsy character were pre-.
ferred against Kim. These fanciful and
aerial charges were based on allegations OF
favoritism and discrimination against q
paper published in the Ojai valley by
one ]. N. Scanlan. Mr.. Patton very
properly declined to publish official
notices in the fugitive papers started by
that gentleman because he was the pro.
prietor of a newspaper graveyard, and
very shortly after his appearance as q
journalistic luminary the places that had
known him knew him no more there
after. Within a short time Scanlan had
been connected with journals that ceased
to exist in San Bernardino, Pasadena
and the Ojai valley, As the Registe,
was personally responsible for any de-
feet of publication, Mr.. Patton very
properly exercised wise discretion as tc
the papers in which his notices appeared.
We might 90 at greater length into this
matter, bat it is OF such trifing charac.
ter that general reference to it is all
that is required. The facts Of the case
are that Secretary Noble removed the
Democratic Register of the Land Office
because he was Democrat, ard because
he desired to give his place to a hungry
Republican partizan. Mr.. Patton will
retire from his Office with the satisfaction
of knowing that he has discharged ite
duties in q notably efficient and satisfac.
tory manner, and thai he has been made
the victim of political subterfuge of a
remarkably gaYzy and contemplate char.
acter.

fact that two prominent officials of the
Union Pacific Company have gone to
San Francisco to hold conference with
the head officials of the Southern Pacific
Company. All sorts of bugs and geblins
have been conjured up as to the mean
ing of this conference. One is to the
effect that the Southern Pacific will pro-
rate with the Union Pacific on far more
favorable terms than those now in
force if they will make the termi-
nus of the extension of the Utah Central
at Phoebe. To halt at that point, or at
any point between it and Los Angeles,
would mean that all the business of the
extension should be carried back to
Ogden, and from thence over the Gem
trail Pacific to San Francisco. There
could be nothing gained by the adoption
OF such scheme. The route would be
unnatural, circuitous, Of tremendous
length and expensive, and the Central
Pacific is not 10 condition now to do busi-
ness at loss. On the other hand, the Union
Pacific will reach Los Angeles in three
hundred and fifty miles from Phoebe,
or two hundred miles from point on
the line with Keeler, to which point

We believe that the Union Pacific in
striking out to reach the Pacific Coast at
Los Angeles has adopted the most
rational and economical plan open to it,
and that this plan will not be set aside
by any fancy or transitory advantage the
Southern Pacific Company can hold out

why Not PICK up the Gauntlet.

There is probably not in the United
States today more peculiar spectacle
than is presented in the city of Los
Angeles. In moment of madness the
voters replaced City Council largely
Democratic by one overwhelmingly Re-
publican, electing all the municipal
officials, from top to bottom. AS a
natural result, one would expect to see
extravaganza, jobbery and irresponsi-
bility, and the Lord knows that we have
seen all these in "heaped measure filed
full and flowing o'er." But there is one
feature of the municipal situation that
one would not have expected to see, and
that lie, Republican Mayor trying in
vain to hold his fellow partizans to the
line of decency. There is nothing in the
career Of Mayo- Hazard TO suggest q
doubt that he ia not acting in the strict
line of his duty. The controversy be-
tween himeelf and his fellow partizans is
strictly family affair, with
which Democrats have nothing to
do save as matters of public interest are
concerned. The peculiar system under
which our municipal affairs are now
being run has two capital ofendings; /;
moneys are being spent without authori-
zation of law, viz, vote of the Council,
and purchases and contracts are being
made in fractional parts, in order to
evade that provision of the charter
which allows all men free and open
competition through bids inviting it,
published in newspaper, by posting, or
some other method of publicity. We are
somewhat interested in noticing that the
