TIE West and the East have been
rudely dealt with the past few days by
cyclones, hurricanes and blizzards.
From st. Louis to Rochester, cities,
towns and hamlets have been devastated
by the terrible wind storms that have
swept over them. The worst feature of
these wrecked towns has been the ap.
palllng loss of life following in the train
OF the storms. The people of California
have been grumbling at the unusually
heavy rainfall they have had to endure
this winter. But compared with the
slight inconvenience the abnormal rain
storms have caused here, the ruin and
death that have hung on the Eastern
cyclone and blizzard have been really
agonizing.

HORIZONTAL TAXES.
The Question ON Trial Before
Judge wade.

The Question ON Trial Before
Judge wade.
Judge Wade was busy all day yester-
day hearing testimony as to the hori-
zontal tax raise. Last summer the City
Council saw that there would not be
sufficient money raised to run the city
on their extravagant programme on q
valuation of over $40, 900, 900, with rate
limited by law to 81 in the 500. They
therefore selected the most valuable sec.
tion of the property in the city-shat on
Main, Spring and Los Angeles streets,
and cross streets, which they proceeded
to raise the assessment on by twenty pei
cent. All the property within the limits
selected was raised at one bound. The
taxpayers paid their taxes according to
the original assessment, and refused tC
pay the additional twenty per cent. The
Council has sued these citizens for the
difference.
A number of witnesses testified. Mr.
Forbes, agent for Col. r. S. Baker, stated
that he went, as invited by the Council
to show cause why the assessmen,
should not be raised. He could not gel
in a word edgewise. 1. w. Hellmar
stated that he never was notified of the
intention of the Council to raise the as
sessment on his property. A. Vale
raised no little mirth by producing 6
notice, signed Freeman G. Teed, Clerl
of the Council, in which he was ordered
to appear and show cause why his prop
erty should not be raised, the order be-
ing that he appear August 26, 1882, at
a. m. August 6, 1889, at 2 p. m, was
probably what was meant. Mr.
Vale innocently thought it was Angus
26th, 1889, at q. M, and at that deat
hour of night he went, but found it 81
dark as Erebus, and no Board of Equal
ization sitting. Mr.. Hellmsn attempted

banker suggested that the fact that sew
eral members of the Council own Fort
street property had something to do witt
this; but the Court stated that all these
matters were without his purview in the
pending issue.
1t is likely to take several days to take
all the testimony.

ABOUT the coolest, as we'll as the me

ABOUT the coolest, as we'll as the most
heartless, thing we have seen lately is
the message sent by the husband of a
woman named Mary Brice, who arrived
at Castle Garden last week with eight
children. She was on her way from
Europe to join her husband, who lived
in Los Angeles, as she said. OF course she
had no idea that Los Angeles was three
thousand miles away. She had just
$50, and the immigration Commissioners
gave her and her children shelter till
they could telegraph to Brice to come on
for his family, knowing that $50 would
not begin to get them to their destina-
ton. What must have been their sur
prise when Brice wired back that he
would come if they would send him SIS
to pay his fare If that is the kind of a
husband Mrs.'B Brice was coming to, she
had better stay where she is.

The Jury Hung.

Tomas Guerrero was tried yesterday
before Judge Cheney on charge O
burglary. About month ago the farm
house of Col. R. s. Baker, near Santa
Monica, was burglarized of $35 in cash
and certain articles of value. Guerrero
Was arrested for the crime. and when the
officer approached him he ran into an
outhouse. where he was taken. Upon
being taken to the lookup and searched
nothing was found on his person. CAPT.
Benedict thought this strange, and ia.
quired about the arrest. When he
learned OF Guerero's going to burrow in
the clubhouse he went there and found
the stolen things, including the
money, concealed. Benedict worked
the case up skillfully, but had to RELY
on the testimony of an mplice who
turned States evidence. The case went
to the jury at 8 80 p. NJ, yesterday, and
about O'Clock, after being out so short
. time. Judge Cheney discharged the
Jury. 1t is eaid some of them did not
believe the testimony of the accomplice.
and hence they could not agree.

WE ARE of opinion that Salisbury
is taking great risk in sending out
writs at the present time for the election
of new Parliament. Those who are
supposed to have the confidence of the
British Premier say that he deems the
present good time to go before the peo-
pie. The budget is popular, and the
Gladstonians are, as he believes. dazed
at the plot to ruin Parnell. On the other
hand the hereditary aristocracy, which
Salisbury and his party especially,
odor with the British pub.
Tic just now. The Cleveland.
street abominations have shocked the
decency of Great Britain, and the peo-
pie will not forget that the whole power
of the Government has been used to
shield the ignoblesse from exposure and
prosecution. If Salisbury really dis
solves Parliament and calls for new
elections, he will find that the unnatural
crimes which his Government has
with it's mighty shield, will
form no small factor in the campaign he
30 recklessly invites.
