THEY ARE KICKERS
And Want Better Government and
Lower Taxes.

The Municipal Reform Association
held meeting at Illinois hall on We'd
nesday evening. The attendance was
larger than at any previous meeting
since the movement started. Every
shade of politics was represented, but
all present evinced disposition to lay
aside their special hobbies and part
affiliations, so far as municipal govern
ment is concerned, and work for lower
taxes and municipal reform. Nearly
one hundred names were added to the
list reported at the meeting last week,
making total OF about five hundred,
each member being voter After a
discussion relative to proposed plans for
pushing forward the movement, brief
and pointed declaration of principles
was adopted and ordered printed for
general circulation and signatures. 1t
was decided to make the organization
permanent, and to hold regular meet
ings, until further notice, every Wednes-
day evening, in Illinois hall. An execu-
tive committee and also a finance COM
mittee was appointed. 1t was an
nOunced that at the next meeting sew
eral speeches would be made and num-
erous facts and figures presented for the
special benefit of city taxpayers, large
and small. Following are the pledeg
and declaration of principles:
Believing the time has come when the
municipal affairs of Los Angeles City can
be better managed by breaking down all
old party lines and placing our best citi-
zens in official positions, regardless of
past party affiliations, we, the under
signed, pledge our most hearty support
to such movement and will work earn
estly for retrenchment and reform in all
our municipal affairs.

not politics.

A FREIGHT RATE WAR.
The Reasons Why it May Soon be
Expected.

The talk about freight war among
the transcontinental lines is increasing
daily. Agents in this city think it is
only question of short time when
the break will come. The following
from the San Francisco Examiner is to
the point
"The undercurrent of feeling in rail
way circles is such that predictions are
being made that in the fall and winter
months the transcontinental roads are
likely to have big fight over freight
rates"
Companies like the Union Pa cific,
Burlington and Southern Pacific are ex-
ceedingly restless at the way the Atchi-
son company is acting. The former
openly charge that the Atcson is cutting
rates all over the east on shipments
westbound to California, and that in this
manner it has secured, and is now secur-
ing, considerable business that it could
not otherwise get.
''The Atchison people maintain that
they are adhering strictly to the agree
ment of the TranscontinentalAsso
but Notwithstanding its denial the rival
companies insist that the Atkinson s
eastern agents have repeatedly been de-
tected in making cuts on the quiet on
all kinds of commodities destined for
this state.
Another element of uneasiness in the
situation is the forthcoming opening of
the Rio Grande Western broad-gauge
route between Ogden and Colorado
Springs and Denver. This route will
comprise the Burlington, Rock Island,
Missouri Pacific, Denver and Rio Grande,
Colorado Springs and Rio Grande West
ern roads, and together they will con-
stitute great rival combination OF the
Union Pacific for California freight.
The general impression exists that this
new combination, as means of advertis-
ing itself, will start in to cut rates to at
tract business for it's roads. Should it
do so the Union Pacific is very likely to
make such strenuous opposition as to
lead to the breaking up of the Trans
continental Association.
''The prominent freight agents in this
city all say that the freight situation is
exceedingly unsatisfactory for the reason
that all the roads are more or less sus-
picious of each other, and suppose that
general cuts are being made because on e
or two roads have been discovered to be
making reductions"

MAKING PROGRESS.
The L. A. P. and G. r. r. Line to thu
Ocean.

General Manager Burnett Of the Los
Angeles. Pasadena and Glendale road
was out in the country yesterday trying
to straighten out some right of way
matters on the proposed extension Of
the line to the ocean. The agents OF
the line in most instances are meeting
with success in their efforts to get a
right of way, though in some few cases
a disposition is shown to eXtort extrava-
CANT prices for the land needed. The
company is determined that it will not
be forced to pay more for the ground it
needs than it is worth, and as there are
a number of routes by which it can
reach the objective point, any scheme
of extortion will be abortive.
Mr.. Richard Kerrens and his associates
will probably be in this city by the 25th
instant.

The temperance reform has reached
crisis in its history. Started origin
ally by such eminent Christians as DR..
Justin Edwards, DIR. Lyman Beecher,
and Albert Barnes, as distinctively
moral enterprise, it has come to be as
sociated chiefly with Legislative meas
ures and political action. Some god
ly folks are bitterly prejudiced against
it as partisan game" or football
of the politicians. Some churches are
closed against its advocates. In the
meanwhile every community is suffer
ing frightfully from the curse of the
bottle and the dram shop. What is
the duty of Christ's churcn? Are we
excused from doing anything to arrest
this monster curse simply because
there may be those who are fighting it
unwisely9 Can the pulpit be silent
and the prayer room be silent, and
Gods people shirk their duty without
bringing guilt upon their skirts? The
pendulum is on the right swing now
Let us grasp it in Christ's name, and
give it stronger impetus against the
decanter and the drink customs and
the dram dens.-Christian Standard

Pioneer Press: In 1870 the pension
expenditures Of the country were $685.
100000; in 1880 they reached S56,-
777,OOO; in 1889 they were S1O6, $780,
600. This is about one-third of the
total revenues of the nation. Even
without further Legislation, this amount
will be subject to increase for many
years to come, especially as more and
more of the old veterans cease to be
able to earn support as years adj
vance, and come within the operation
of the dependent pension act. Viewed
from the standpoint of finance alone,
it is clear that the nation must call a
halt in pension matters or adopt the
policy of mourning new debt to pay
its pensioners. Were this necessary
to meet the ends of justice or even of
the fullest recognition of the soldiers
claims, it might be worth considering.
But when, in all the land, there can
not be under the law a single worthy
veteran who may not claim, in dis
tress, the help of the nation for his
support, then we have discharged our
debt. More than that is the demand
of self-interest and not of patriotism.
IT is probable that the public opinion
of the whole country will now unite in
concluding that the chapter of pension
legislation should be finally closed.

w. c. T. U. DEPARTMENT
For God and Home and Nntice Land
The Pendulum of Reform

The pendulum seems to be swing
ing once more towards direct moral
and religious methods in the great
temperance reform. For many years
it has swung towards civil enactments
against the death=dealing dram shop,
and towards political action. There
is no reason to abate all illegitimate
efforts to suppress the saloon, whether
by prohibitory laws like those of Kan
sas Or local option laws like those of
Massachusetts. But the province of
the Christian church is to 20 deeper
than civil enactments. 1t has to deal
with the sins of drunkenness and the
imminent perils of the drink usage to
the home, to society and to the church
of God. Christians have no more right
to turn this stupendous evil entirely
over to the civil magistrate than they
have to leave the duties of honesty and
chastity to be enforced by police courts,
There would seem to be common
ground and firm ground on which
Gods people of all denominations can
plant themselves. We can all agree
in holding that the bottle is the source
of indescribable mischief and miseries.
We can agree not only in the need of
saving the inebriate, but also prevent
ing the young from falling into the
dangerous habit of using intoxicants.
Whatever disputes there may be about
certain Bible texts, it is perfectly clear
that the Bible closes the kingdom of
heaven against the drunkarvt; and the
drunkard-maker is not likely to fare
any better. 1t unfolds the beautiful
principles of self-denial for the sake
of the weak, and declares that ut is
good not to drink wine whereby our
brother stumbleth." About these plain
declarations of Gods Word there is
no controversy; and they furnish solid
basis for gospel temperance as a doc
trine to be preached and principle
to be practiced.
Now here are few clear and indis-
putable reasons for preaching abstin-
ence in the public and teaching it in
the Sunday school. Scripture truth,
Emedical science, and human expert
ence, all agree that the one absolute
safeguard against the perils of intoxi-
cants is to let them alone. He that
never drinks is safe; he who ever
drinks incurs a risk. Good people
may differ as to their motives in be-
coming totel abstainers. Some of us
Erefuse to touch alcohol because it is a
poison to the brain. Others, like Theo-
dore Frelinghuysen and Bishop Alon-
20 Potter, and the late eminent Eng
lish Bishop Lightfoot, of Durham,
discarded the wine-glass for the sake
of example to their neighbors. There
are two good reasons why have new
Eer touched alcoholic stimulants: First,
I am afraid of them; and secondly, 1
am afraid that my example might de-
tcoy somebody else into danger. The
decanter and the theater are two per-
lis that I have always warned young
Christians against: in these days the
church of God can not go into fellow
ship with either of them, and main
tain its purity and power.

In a recent address, Cardinal Glib
bons used the following language
which is true as gospel:
when we find the most upright cit
liens taking no interest in politics,
showing no zeal for the good govern

political stagnation and corruption
But when the best citizens manifest
interest in public affairs, we have good
government and honest administration

cry man to take an active personal in

and to see that the best citizens are
