THERE is probably nothing more in the
lower California filibustering expedition
stories than sensational newspaper inven-
tons; yet they seem to have alarmed the
Mexican authorities who are reported to
have requested the United States govern
ment to station a regiment of soldiers at
San Diego to prevent the theft of the
peninsula. OF course the United States
will do nothing in the premises; this
government knows too well the unreliable
character of certain newspapers to place
any confidence in their unsupported ut
terances, and in this instance the news
paper assertions are absolutely without
proof to support them. AS the United
States do not deport their offensive citi-
sens, and do not propose to maintain a
Bota ny Bay, this government can have no
possible use for Lower California, ana we
cannot imagine why individuals should
desire the peninsula, as very few of the
thousands who went there a few years
ago were able to make living and left
when the money they took with them was
exhausted. When Mexico has anything
lying around lose that is worth stealing
Americans will not be above taking it, but
Lower California is safe.

TO SUE THE CITY.

1t is said that Mr.. r. N BAsKIN viii in
stitute suit against the corporation to re
cover damages for the injury done to his
property by lowering the street and side
walk grade in front of his residence. THE
HERALD is not given to agreeing with the
gentleman named. AS rule his PROPOSE
tons are Objectionable and tend to arouse
opposition, but IN this instance we think
he is right and hope he will press the suit:
not only that, but we hope he viii win, and
that the city will be compelled to pay
handsomely. When Mr. BAsKIN saw what
had been done he denounced it as ''an out
rage and if he employed more emphatic
language he would have been justi-
fed in it. 1t is an outrage, and
on South Temple street similar outrages
have been perpetrated, while others are
contemplated in different parts of the city.
Thousands of dollars damage has been done
to private property, and the city has been
involved in immense expense to satisfy an
engineers peculiar ideas of uniformity of
grade, while the appearance of the street
will not be improved, nor will the public
convenience be added to in the least. We
maintain that this is all wrong, nor do we
believe the city has the legal right to do as
it is doing. The corporations authority
should be exercised within the lines of
reason and propriety. If the council
can convey to its engineer power to
cut down or build up to suit his
fancy in front of mans premises, the
next council can confer upon its engineer

THE TILDEN WILL.

The physician, when i'll, places no conf
dence in his own skill and medicines. He
places himself under a brother Doctors
care and passively submits to the treat
ment prescribed. We have heard it said
that some of the most learned physicians
will not even ask of the doctors to whom
they entrust their cases the ingredients or
nature OF the remedies administered, being
content to state the nature of their allment
like other patients 1t would seem that
lawyers might follow this rule with good
effect SAMUEL ]. TnDEN was one of the
best learned and most eminent of American
lawyers. He was sought after by rich
litigants who wanted and could
afford to employ the best, and
he could charge whatever he
liked for his services. A speciality with
him was the drawing of wills. He took
pleasure in that branch of his profession,
and in it was recognized as the foremost
attorney of the country. The wills that be
drew were thought to be unassailable and
perfect. Many of New York's millionaires
employed him to frame their wills, es-
pecially if there were likely to arise any
dispute ever the disposition of their prop
erty. 1t has been said that he was paid
$4,000 for drawing up will, while $1,000
was commonly received for the work.
When it came to disposing of his own mil
lions, he was particularly careful, because
he knew that some of his blood heir might
want more than he was willing to give
them. He arranged everything as he de-
sired it to be, and went to his long home
believing there could be no fail
ure to carry out his wishes. The
grand old man had no sooner been lall IN
his grave anc his will been published than
lawyers all over the country declared that
the document had been so loosely drawn

through it. Litigation was at once in.
augurated, and the matter has since been
continuously in the courts. until now il
has been declared that the chief bequesi
was illegal and void. The great bulk OF
his property Mr.. TILDEN bequeathed tt
trustees for the specific purpose of estab
fishing a great library for the use an6
benefit of the inhabitants of New York
and if his wishes had been carried out the
visible evidence of his interest in and af
lection for the people would have beer

authority to change grades to conform to
his ideas of beauty or convenience. The
whims of surveyors may thus be made to
bankrupt property owners and the city;
one engineer could put mans house and
garden into hole, and another elevate
them to a hill, and provide hollow for
some other PERSONS premises. One has
but to go along South Temple street to be
convinced that.the council ought not to long
er leave it in the power of any man to do
as has been there. 1t will require years of
time and labor and a vast expenditure Of
money to put that once handsome street
in slightly condition, and no amount of
money will return the beauty of some OF
the delightful residences.
1t is high time that something was done
to stop this cruel proceeding, hence we
are glad to learn that Mr. BAsKIN will act
in the matter of his own premises.

THE Nelps learns that one of the registra-
ton officers informed a gentleman that
unless men appeared before the registrars
their names would be stricken from the
list. 1t would be in direct violation of the
law to strike of name unless it was
known that the owner was not here or was
not entitled to vote, but last winters ex-
perience taught the people that registrars
care nothing for law when it stands in the
way of an end they seek to accomplish. 1t,
therefore, stands everybody in hand to GO
to Independence hall to-day, unless he has
previously been there, and see that his
name is on the registration list for his

The HERALD would not attempt to influ-
ence any Of the thousands who are contest
ing in our population guessing contest, but
it will not be out of place to suggest to all
the advisability of giving little heed to the
figures said to have been promulgated by
alleged census takers. We are inclined to
believe, from some things that have been
said, that the recent so-called enumeration
was little else than guessing contest.
THE HERALD's award will be made on the
official returns of the United States census
bureau, and not upon an irresponsible and
mont thorough count, instituted for the sole
purpose of giving employment to political
workers who could find nothing else to do.

EVEN THE legislature of the great state
of New York sometimes legislates in a
childish way. For instance, at the recent
session a bill was passed, and is now law,
which provides that on and after September
l next no person actually or apparently
under sixteen years of age shall smoke or in
any way use cigars, cigarettes or tobacco in
any form whatever in any public street,
place orresort. The penalty for violation
of the act is a fine of not more than $40 nor
less than g. A law that would make it
obligatory on mothers to take their tobacco
smoking hopefuls across their knees and
argue with them from slipper standpoint
would be much more effective

AS YOU PLEASE.

The United States supreme court is
the greatest tribunal on earth so far
as America and Americans are con-
est reverence for it and when one
doubts the justice of a supreme court
opinion, those who believe in the opin-
ion stand up and call him traitor.
After all, great as is the court,
its opinions are accepted and respected
not much more generally than those of
local tribunals, unless they are accom-
panied by the power to make them obeyed.
In illustration, some time ago the supreme
court rendered the now famous decision
in which it was held that states could not
interfere with the transportation and sale
Of liquor in original packages. The ques-
ton came up from Iowa, which has pro
hibitory law, but the law as laid down by
the supreme court applies, or should apply,
to every part of the republic. Iowa, as a
matter of course, obeyed the decree, and
liquor has since been freely imported and
sold in the original packages, not
withstanding the local law forbids it and
provides severe penalties for those who
traffic in the stuff. But Kansas also has
prohibition, and there the supreme courts
decision was followed by the open..and def
ant sale of intoxicants in the original pack
ages. For little time the local authori-
ties were nonplussed, and apparently did
not know what course to pursue. Then
they recovered themselves, and set about
the work of enforcing the state law with
more vigor and determination than they
had hitherto shown. They have since been
arresting dealers on every hand, and are
confscating liquor wherever they can find
it. They do not regard with awe or re-
spect the supreme court opinion, and an
Original PACKAGE is no more sacred to
them than would be ''three tingers'' in a
glass over the bar. The officers say they will
enforce the law until force shall be en-
ployed to prevent them. The attorneys
for the state and the several counties stand
back of the executive officers and urge
them to proceed MS if there had been nc
supreme court decision.
Maine, which has prohibitory law,
gracefully submitted to the supreme
courts decision before certified copy OF
the opinion had been received. The Maine
Judges read in the newspapers the tele
graphic synopsis of the supreme courts
ruling, and at once held that the state
could not disturb original packages.
1t is thus seen that supreme court de
cision carries weight and respect according
as the local community feels about it.

In TIE light Of the Liberal habit of

THERE is law in Kentucky forbidding

between the cattle raisers of this

to make half a dozen aristocrats,
