Los Angeles daily herald., 1890-02-25

In VIEW of the assurance that the far.
mer was to find in protective tariff the
sun'mum bonum of all earthly at.ainable
bliss, the plight of the Kansas farmer is
indeed pitiable one. Corn during the
current winter has sold for as low as ten
cents bushel, and the despairinp
husbandman is using it for fuel
in that State. Twelve and fifteen
cents bushel are high rates, even in
those portions of Kansas not remote from
railways. When the farmer has at.
tended to the interest on his mortgages
he must find the margin of profit very
small in such figures. 1t is questionable
whether after such an experience, he
will, in the coming years, look upon pro.
lection with the same sanguine spirit oil
hope with which he has hitherto re-
garded it. He will probably realize the
force of the homely old adags that the
proof of the pudding is in chewing the
string. He will, in fact, probably believe
that he is left holding the bag, the
protectionists having the game.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1890-02-25

SOME misapprehension exists in the
public mind as to the request of the
railroad people to have police officer
stationed at the Arcade depot. The
plea is not that the property of the com
pany needs protection; for that there is
an officer kept at the expense of the
railroad. The regular officer is asked for
solely on account of the public. Some
two dozen trains arrive at that point or
depart from it daily. All sorts of char
acters come and 90 and hang around
such place. 1t is the ideal
spot for robbers, sharpers, PROGRESSES
and all the exploiters of nefarious enter
prises to ply their trades. If the purpose
of maintaining police officers at public
expense is to protect the lives, property
and other rights of the public, it would
seem as if one might earn his salary at
such depot as we'll as he could in any
part of the city.

The weather during the current winter,
in the East, has been highly exceptional.
In fact, over extensive areas of the coun-
try on the thither side of the Rock v
Mountains, there has been no winter.
In view of this circumstance the large
passenger movement to California during
this period has been as surprising as it
has been gratifying. 1t shows that there
is strong, reliable tide of immigration
which will Lour into this State irrespect-
i've of what the weather may be in the
regions from which they hail. The Paris
Exposition and the mild Eastern winter
have undoubtedly largely curtailed the
number of visitors who have sought the
Coast for pleasure or for health
There is little doubt that during the
coming fall and winter, when there will
be no Paris Exposition. and the norma
Eastern weather shall have been
restored. we shall have an unprecedented
influx of visitors, bent on health, pleas
ure and settlement.

How DO They Get the Newsp

WASHINGTON, February 24-In the
executive session of the Senate this
afternoon, proceedings in secret session
were considered. The practice of dis
cussing nominations behind closed doors
was criticised by several Senators as un-
American. 1t is understood, however,
in accordance with Dolph's resolution
offered several days ago, it was decided
to make inquiry into the method by
which the newspapers secure their in
formation concerning proceedings in
executive session.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1890-02-25

1T IS positively asserted on the very
best authority that the founding of q
great beet sugar factory on the Chino
ranch hinges directly on the action of the
present Congress as to the duties on
sugar. The contract with the Oxnard
Bros. is complete, provided the duty is
not reduced. 1t may therefore be conf
IDENTIFY hoped that the great industry will
be begun next spring. This Congress
will not pass any tariff bill at all. The
pension bounties, the new navy, the coast
defenses, the public buildings, the harbor
improvements and all the other measures
demanding attention, and sure to be
treated not with conservative wisdom
out with the radical extrava-
gance that always marks the course
OF Republican administration, will
maintain such demand for funds that
no reduction will be possible. 1t is well
that 80 i'll wind is likely to blow this
much good to our section az to secure
the sugar factory. The duty on sugar
will not be reduced at any time. A
Democratic Congress will reduce the
duty on hundred articles rather than
that on sugar. A Republican Congress
never fiuds 1t possible to reduce any sort
of taxation.

A MOUNTAIN OF WATER
Swept the Valley of the
Hassayampa.
NEWS FROM THE SCENE OF DEATH
Thirty-four WOrkmen Swept Away.
The Town of Wickenberg
Reported Safe.

associated Press Dispatches to the HERALp
PHOENIX, Ariz., February "a. A
courier arrived from the lower dam on
the Hassayampa this afternoon, and re-
ported that tremendous mountain of
water came down the Hassayampa about
2 O'Clock Saturday morning, and that
thirty-four men, who were working at the
lower dam, were drowned. They were
all whites, except three who were Chi
nese. The courier reports that the town
of Wicken5erg is safe. The loss of life
in the valley between the dam and
Wickenberg may not be known for some
days, but it is, without doubt, considera-
BILE, and the number of victims in the
valley may possibly reach thirty or forty
The courier states that the upper dam is
undoubtedly broken, and the force of the
water carried away the two lower dams.
LOSS OF LIFE AND PROPERTY.
The loss of life and damage to prop
erty must be very great. The loss of
property in dams alone will amount to.
$500 900. .g+
The entire valley from the dam to
Wickenberg is inhabited principally by
Mexican miners and ranchmen. The
fall of rain and snow has been very
heavy in the mountains far to the north
and east, and water here is very high.
Salt river rose seventeen feet in fifteen
hours. Saturday morning the railroad
bridge across it was washed away for
200 feet, and half mile of track on the
bank of the river is gone. Telegraph
communication was interrupted, but a
wire was placed across the river last
night. Snow again fell on the
mountains last night. No mail has
been received here for three days.
GREAT SUSPENSE AT PRESCOTT.
PRESCOTT, Ariz., February "a This
has been another day of suspense and
anxiety, as the courier expected from the
scene OF the recent disaster with addi-
tional particulars has failed to arrive.
Muddy and badly-washed mountain
roads, intersected by swollen streams,
make travel from Prescott TO the lower
Walnut Grove dam, sixty miles distant.
difficult and tedious even by daylight,
while by night heavy clouds cause an
inky darkness the. the. renders it itentirely out
OF the question. In many places the
roads are completely washed away and
new trails have to be made. General
o'Neil on and party were delayed several
hours Saturday night by being COM
pellsd to camp until daylight on account
of washouts on the road. This is the
only reason that can be assigned for the
failure of courier to arrive today. An
other courier started out this morning
who will return by tomorrow at the
| latest.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1890-02-25

The other day we alluded to the low
rates of fare established by Eastern roads
to Eastern pleasure resorts, calling atten.
ton to the fact that from St. Louis tc
Florida a round-trip rate of $16 90 ex-
listed. There are even more surprising
rates than that. A man can 60 from st.
Louis to New Orleans, with the privilege
of remaining two weeks there, and re-
turn, for $500. There is no complaint
that these rates are not remunerative to
the railway companies that have adopted
them. Why will not our California rail-
way magnates inaugurate, not
'boom," but an era of genuine progress
in this State by similar concessions /?
Too much attention can not be given to
this matter. 1t is vital to the prosperity
and development of the section.

The Surplus About TO NJ
ssRl0Wu In,,,

1T is an auspicious circumstance for the
surplus, about which we have heard 80
much, that we have Congress Republi-
can in both branches. 1t was the Hon.
Tom Fitch-he of the "Silver Tongue
who, in speech at the Pavilion, during
the canvass of 1888, suggested that the
proper use to put the surplus to was to
"blow it in" Mr.. Fitch himself is on
the ground, being reported in Washing
ton, and he will doubtless abound in
suggestions a. to how it ought to be
handled 80 that it can be put where it
will do the most good.
1t would really look as if there need DO
no anxiety about the surplus; for. by all
accounts, there will be none to wrangle
over. Including the estimated revenues,
from all sources. for the year ending
June 30th, 1891, and the accumulated
surplus itself, the sum available for ap-
preparations up to that date is only
1892 900, 900. Including the amounts re-
quired for the running expenses of the
Government, the probable appropriations
for the new navy, coast defenses and
for service pensions, it is not at
all unlikely that by the date named the
surplus will be reduced to million dol
lars. Quite likely it will be deficiency
instead of a surplus, if the receipts
should fall off and the expansive Repub-
lican schemes should be carried out.
No one objects to recognition of the
services of the men who preserved the
Union if it shall be kept within bounds
that is, within reasonable limits. The
sum appropriated for pensions for the
year ending June 30th, 1891, ia $685.
100000, as against sSS, S,000,O 900 for the
current year. This is an advance OF
Sill, 200, 900 over the current year. Ia
addition, it is proposed to pass q service
pension bill. No measure looking to
this end aims to appropriate less than
forty millions of dollars, while the max
imum sum which it is sought to draw
from the treasury is one hundred million
dollars. Either sum will, in addition to
the normal appropriations for pensions,
knock big hole in the surplus. The total
will vary from $13s 900, 900 to $l99 .oOO.-
600. This is question which is destined to
cut big figure in our politics some day.
The pension list is swelling at remarka-
BILE rate, having attained the respectable
figure of over 1856, 900, nearly a fifteen
per cent. increase over last year. If this
ratio of increase shall hold good, with a
convenient system of re-rating pensions.
there is no telling where the surplus will
land from this cause alone.
The new navy will also doubtless cut
4 considerable figure in blowing in the
surplus, as also the coast defensss.
On the whole, our Republican friends
will probably relieve US from all cause for
anxiety about the surplus. If their
;ariff bill shall make any real reductions
n the importations we may look out for
. pretty broad gaugad deficiency by the
ime the Fifty.second Congress shall
AXE hold. Mr.. Fitch being on the spot,
with his valuable counsel, there is no
reason why the surplus should not bs
q thing of shreds and patches long before
the present House of Representatives
mas run its course.
