ONE OF the most remarkable instances
of enterprising journalism within the
memory of newspaper men is the feat
accomplished by our esteemed evening
contemporary on Monday. The presi-
dents message was received by that
paper at Z O'Clock on Monday morning,
and appeared in it the same evening.
When one considers that the message
occupied the space OF nine of its narrow
columns, and was set up in nine hours,
an admiring public stands aghast at the
marvellous feat. No wonder our even
ing neighbor is proud, stands on it's
hind legs, and crows over the morning
papers for not publishing the message
before it was received.

Few people know the splendid results
that may be accomplished by intelligent
farming on the fine lands that lie be-
tween Los Angeles and Santa Monica.
The farm of Mr.. Andrew Stephan is a
splendid illustration of what may be
done in that section, which was once,
and that not long ago, only considered
fit for pasturage. Some ten years ago
Mr.. Stephan came to Los Angeles county
with scarcely dollar in his pocket. He
now farms his home place and thou
sand acres belonging to his neighbors.
From poor man he has become
wealthy, and that by plain but
industrious farming. He has made the
four hundred acres which he owns so
valuable that Stephan was recently
offered 100000 for his property. There
are tens of thousands OF acres on which
the same results may be achieved lying
between Los Angeles and the sea.
Taking the Cahuenga range and the
Ballona, the rancho de los Bueyes, the
rancho San Vicente y Santa Monica,
and other fine properties, there is room
for ten thousand people to make COM
petencies in that noble spread Of valley
and foothill.

carried out, 1T might become formid-
able factor in the politics of this coast.
But a farmers party that ignores and is
silent upon the Mckinley tariff, is like a
body without life. A party that desires
to succeed must deal with actual condi-
tions not remote theories, and must
stand on platform which can be vital
lied into action with immediate possi-
BILE results. We can all speculate upon
plans to improve mankind and to make
their condition one of supreme happi-
ness. The book makers do this; but it
is beyond the reach of practical politics.
The men of brains and force of the ALI
ance ought to take the hint, and be up
and doing.

SCATTERING FOR INCREASE.

The size OF a cityIs bonded debt is in
many cases a criterion of its enterprise,
and illustrates pretty clearly the faith
of it's citizens in its future.
This fact has lately been demonstrated
by the special bulletin issued by the
census bureau on the financial condition
OF American cities. The charge that
western towns frequently plunge into
reckless municipal expenditures, not
warranted by their size or prospects of
growth, is fatty contradicted by aglance
at the statistics presented. They ex-
hibit that the west compares very favor
ably with all other sections in financial
condition.
Between 1880 and 1890 the total bond
ed and floating debt of cities in New
England increased II per cent. in the
middle states, per cent. in the south
ern states, 6 per cent; in the western
states, 16 per cent, and in the territOr-
les 243 per cent. In the same period
the total available resources of cities in
these sections increased as follows:
New England, 5l per cent; middle
states, 81; southern states, 4; western
states, 70; territories, 20.
California stands at the head of the
western states in the amount of in
creased bonded Indebtedness. its per-
centage being over eleven hundred per
cent. Wyoming comes second, Oregon
third and Nebraska fourth.
Los Angeles has expended within the
last few years a considerable amount OF
money on public buildings, the radical
improvement of her streets, on sewer
age scheme beftting the city's present
size and future prospects, and in perfect
ing such attractions as the Westlake
and other parks. But can there be any
reasonable cause for doubt that this
outlay will be largely instrumental in
drawing hither that respectable mon
eyed class of permanent residents whose
presence indicates the solid advance OF
any community?

THE Western Union Telegraph COM
pany, with its usual energy, wired the
presidents message to the Pacific coast
SO that it was here five hours before it
was read in congress. Notwithstanding
its great length, the company trans
mitted it without the slightest interrup-
tion to its commercial business, and
placed the whole press OF California
under obligations for it's prompt deliv-
cry in so perfect a shape as to require
less than even the ordinary revision by
the telegraph editors. The Western
Union is certainly very reliable and
efficient institution.

PARTISAN BUT NOT SLAvISH.

1t has always been the pride of the
HERALD to advocate Democratic princi-
Piles and in most cases Democratic men.
This journal is devoted to Democratic
ideas, and has assisted to propagate
them diligently. At the same time it be-
lieves that the very essence OF De-
mocracy is Z spirit of freedom. No
Geslers cap can be set up to which this
journal will bow. We accept and stand
by the sentiment,
Thy spirit independence, let me share,
Lord of the lion heart and eagle eye.
The San Diego Union, under the head
ing of Independence in Politics." has
the following just expressions on sub
ject that is becoming OF absorbing in
terest:
The Los Angeles HERALD has furnished
vivid illustration of the growing ten
dency OF even the more excessively par
tisan papers to emancipate themselves
from obligation to blindly bow to the
dictates OF whatever party they may rep
resent. r. A. Ling, a ccnspicuously
unfit person, was nominated by the
Democrats for mayor, and the HERALD,
though usually intensely partisan,
promptly and with great emphasis, not
only declined to support him, but emu
merated several reasons very explicitly
why the party should scratch his
name from the ticket on election
day. The HERALD maintains that in mu-
nicipal elections the question OF per-
sonal qualifications is of paramount i'm
portance to that of political affiliations.
The number of voters in both parties
who hold identically the same view is
increasing yearly, and they do not limit
their independence on this point to mu-
nicipal elections, either. This fact is
recognized more and more by politicians,
and is by all odds the most disturbing
factor in their calculations. Even
the most astute among them are
not able to pronounce as to the
strength of a ticket with nearly the
degree of confidence they formerly
assumed. Partisan lines may be drawn
closer in national elections with greater
safety than in municipal contests be-
cause the preliminary campaign is
longer, public interest more intense,
mere party expediencey less liable to be
resorted to, and the possibility OF toist-
ing dangerously incompetent or unit
person upon the ticket reduced to a
minimum. Independence in politics is
disquieting to politicians, but it is the
great balance wheel which will tend to
preserve the national machinery from
dangerous Jars.

THE Stockton Mail, which, in all
other respects, appears to be consist
ent party paper, is out with two-col-
umn defense of Senator Stanford's
flight before the process of a San Fran
cisco court, citing him to appear for ex-
animation concerning the corrupt use of
money by agents of his at the late cleo
ton. We fear that our Stockton con-
temporary is inclined to be prejudiced
in matters involving the interests of
California's Republican senator. 1t was
one of the anomalies of the recent cam
paign that the Mail should be found
against the candidacy of the leading
Democratic aspirant for succession to
the senatorial seat occupied by Stan
ford, and that it never had word to
say in favor ofany Democratic candidate
for the state legislature. This was un-
fortunate as well as anomalous, for the
Mail is one of the ablest papers in the
state, and exercises good deal of infu-
ence, especially among the people of the
San Joaquin valley. We believe its
motive was sincere, for ii we remember
rightly it was the first paper in the state
to urge the legislature six years ago to
choose Stanford for the senate, and
was the first to mention his
name in that connection. 1t has
stood by him faithfully ever since,

personal regard above party considera-

have to do so, but what kind of Demo-

Deaths Doings

The number of prominent bust
ness and public men, summoned
from the ranks of the living by death
in this state, during the period of a
month or a little moe past, is unus-
ually large. Commencing with
Gen. David Atwood, at Madison,
the intermediate time to the death
of our esteemed citizen Gilbert NJ.
Simmons, who died in this city, on
Wednesday last week, there has been
Il sad depletion of the ranks of dis
tinguished men, who have occupied
positions Of honor and trust. The
death Of an influential and exemplary
business man, is a loss which is apt
TO be under estimated. The dis
truction of a valuable property in a
town or city, is Of small account
compared with the loss by death of
model business man. Take for ex-
ample the sudden and unexpected
removal by death in this city of Gil
bert NJ. Simmons; his praises are
spoken by all without dissenting
voice. The question is asked on
all sides, how can his place be filled
with a man of equal acceptance?
Faultless model business men, who
are unanimously pronounced to be
such, are not common. The depar-
ture Mr. Simmons, leaves a void in
business circles hard to be supplied.

People Unreasonably Taxed.

The distinctive policies of the two
great national parties, are tariff for
protection, by the republican, and
tariff for revenue by the democratic,
But there is at least one article OF
great Importance out of place,
that is the tariff on sugar. The
heavy duty on sugar does rot oper-
ate as a protective policy on home
industry, to an appreciable extent
but as a burdensome revenue tax,
and therefore cannot be called a re-
publican policy The sugar duty
realizes to the government $50, 900, :
900 yearly. The tariff on sugar in
Creases the cost to consumers Of
that article from two to three cents
per pound, according to quality
From statements based on official
figures. the people of this country
pay annually to. foreign countries
for sugar $Ioo. 100000 The duty
on imported sugar, was imposed
years ago, for the expressed purpose
Of encouraging the production of
sugar in this country But the
amount of home production of sugar
has not. been materially increased,
nor is there reasonable hope it will
be in future; the climate is unfavor-
able, nor can it be changed by legis
Iation. There is now produced in
this country only about one tenth of
the sugar consumed. 1t is deCla: ed
that our yearly revenue is in excess
$50, ooo, 900 over what is required for
the support of the government. Then
why not abolish the $50, 900 SUI
gar duty, and relieve the people Of
the unreasonable tax they are now
bearing. No attempt to answer this
question is noticed in any of the pa
pers which come to this office. Next
to flour and meat, sugar is the most
expensive family table supply; of the
$50, 900 derived, from the sugar
tax, probably two thirds is drawn
from the poor, and families far from
being wealthy. If the government
was poor, and money needed to carry
forward its operations, there would
even then be no good reason for
such a tax as that on sugar. But the
country has an overlooking treasury,
and Congress is perplexed how to
dispose of the surplus revenue. The
government does not need the mon
ey, does not want it, and does not
know what to do with what it has or
hand.
