None OF that was trust money. however,
and il was regarded aN cash available fUr
purposes of treasury disbursements.
EX-Secretary F'anchiid concurrcd with
Foster regarding that money As properly
available
Foster told the assembled tiuancierS that
some of the Western bankers had expressed
their willingness to have their bonds
extended n T.. per cent. The
secretary was very positive in
declaring that the treasury was fully pre-
pared to pay the bonds at maturity. but for
prudential motives he thought it would be
well To extend them. The fiscal year was
drawing to Il close. said Foster and while
there was no reason to apprehrnd any diff
ticulty. no one could foreteu just how
the treasury would come out AZ the close.
For these reasons among others Foster
said he would be glad to have the advice Of
the bankers OF New York He also assured
MS hearers that the matter was purely Il
business question and there was 10 politics
in it.

BUG EXPERTS RESIGN.
THE HORTICULTURAL COMMISSION
ERS NO LONGER IN OFFICE.
They Get Ma d and Hand in Their Resig-
nations-William e. Ward Appointed
in Their Place-other Proceedings of
the Supervisors.

The three bug experts, who formerly
composed the county board of horti-
cultural commissioners. have handed in
their designations and retired to private
life. There has been a large amount of
internecine strife in connection with the
commission for some time past. and
only a small portion of it has ever
reached the public. The members of
the board were won't to meet on Satur-
day mornings in the supervisors room,
and it is said that the only thing on
earth that equals one of their delibera-
tions is, perhaps, session of the city
board of education.
The commissioners, Messrs. A. f.
Kercheval, George j. Mitchell, and John
Burr, got mad at once, finally, and
rushed to the supervisors with their
designations. These have been in the
hands of the clerk of the board several
days, but they were not filed till yes
terday, when they were read and imme-
diately accepted. Thus three good men
lose salary OF SO per day each.
AS soon as this action was taken, a
petition was presented for the appoint
ment OF William f.. Ward as a commits
sioner. This document contained the
names OF every prominent horticul-
turist and fruit grower in the county,
and was an extremely formidable docu-
ment. Supervisor Cook rose in behalf
of Mr.. Ward and succeeded in con-
vincing the board that he was the proper
man for the place. Mr.. Ward was there
fore appointed to do the work of the
entire commission at salary of $5 per
day, Commissioner Ward ia former
newspaper man, and has been editor of
the Orange Tribune and Pomona Times.
He is as well known as any man in the
county, and very popular. Mr.. Ward is
an uncle of County Clerk Ward.
The supervisors transacted large
amount of routine business Yesterday.
A petition was presented from Jno. T..
Gaffey for an extension of the franchise
of the Calabasas and Ocean Shore toll
road, and the hearing of the matter as
set for September 18th.
The resignation of F. p. Cave as
health officer OF El Monte was accepted,
andDr. r. d. Adams was appointed in
his stead.
An invitation extended the board 10

nacle was accepted with thanks.
BY resolution the Office OF apiary
inspector, formerly held by Elon Hart,
Of Pasadena, was declared abolished.
A petition was presented for the pro-
lection OF the Pico bridge, and, on the
advice OF the district attorney that such
a step was legal, an appropriation OF $500
was made for that nurnOse
A warrant in favor Of President Lind
ley, of the Whittier reform school, hav-

to build the Williams & johnson road

Here is conclusive evidence OF all that
the HERALD has charged against the
Stoneman. The gruesome landlord had
reduced the clientele of the house to
Colnon and himself, and perforce started
in to be agreeable. There are few men
who, under such circumstances, could
not make themselves moderately COM
Portable. Considering the well-known
gastronomic attributes OF the Stockton
editor, the landlord was obliged to pro-
vide him with something to eat or be
eaten himself. Needs must when the
devil drives. He found himself between
the devil and the deep blue sea.

Los ANGELES county with, according
to the census of Mr.. Porter, one hundred
and one thousand souls, has six superior
judges. The city and county of San
Francisco, with three hundred thousand
inhabitants, and very large transient
population, has only twelve judges.
Not only is there this apparent dispar-
ity but the volume of litigation in San
Francisco is transcendant in amount and
complexity. Common sense, public
morality and sense of the just proper
tion of things would seem to call for a
reduction in our judicial fabric. The
peoples money ought not to be wantonly
wasted.

signature, were proven after his oath.
His interference in prolonging the
existence of the bank till he and his
friends could withdraw theii deposits
has been very fully established. Mr..
Harrison, gentleman by heredity, and
possibly 80 by nature, has been very de-
liberate in getting rid of the corrupt
people by whom he has been surround
ed. He has already dropped Bank Ex-
aminer Drew. Comptroller of the Cur
rency Lacy will probably follow. AS
sistant Secretary of the Treasury Nettle-
ton will also, in all likelihood, join the
procession. Wanamaker himself will
doubtless bring up the rear. The in
heritor of his grandfather's hat is not a
magnetic man, but we believe that he
is honest in intention, though bigoted
and shortsighted to an exceptional de-
gree.
The case of Wanamaker is q very seri-
GUS one indeed. There is no possible
question of the fact that he is a SNUG
hypocrite who was hand and glove with
Bardsley and the Keystone bank. But
outside of these cardinal points of in
fanny, he is wrestling the postoffice de-
partment of the United States into the
line of espionage, surveillance and des-
potism. To employ the cant language
of the day, he has an idea that he is a
sort of little tin god. He has under
taken to prosecute an eastern firm of
publishers simply because they had the
temerity to publish from San Francisco
paper an article discussing the legality
OF a decision respecting the Louisiana
lottery.
Now the Louisiana lottery may be
good or bad. We will assume, for the
purposes of the argument, that it is en-
tirely bad, and this will include the gem
eral judgment of the matter, and our
own. But, admitting that it is bad, and
superlativeIy bad, and altogether bad ;
bad, without qualification or excuse,
who has given this American Fouche
the right to annihilate free discussion in
the United States? This criminal post
master-general, who ought to be reading
his newspapers through the faint light
which is admitted by prison bars, un-
dertakes to deny to his fellow-citizens
the right OF free speech and OF an un-
trammeled discussion of the issues of
the day. In other words, he under
takes to set up Gessler's cap, and to
make the American people bow before
it.
We suggest to President Harrison
that the true solution of this matter is
to allow Wanamaker to gravitate to the
penitentiary to which he belongs, and
to concede to Americans the right OF
free speech which belongs to them, and
which they will always assert.

NO GKssLER's CAP FOR AMERIcANs.

The Office of Postmaster-General of
the United States is being prostituted
just now in an alarming form and to
very dangerous extent. The individual
who now fills that position is offensive
to all persons of a delicate sense of pro-
priety, and particularly SO to all men
who add to fastidious instincts a robust
sense of honesty. This man Wana-
amaker ought, by all accounts, to be in
the penitentiary for matters arising
from the defalcations of Bardsley and
the villainies of the Keystone Bank of
Philadelphia. To begin with his most
heinous offence, he has been proven to
be perjurer. He swore that he was
not the possessor Of share of stock of
the Keystone Bank, and his transfers
of stock in that bank, standing in
his own name, and with his own

women, who have been prominently
identified with the organization from
the beginning, called at the chamber
yesterday, and expressed surprise at the
action taken at Mondays meeting. No
notice OF the meeting was sent to many
OF the members, and the right usurped

being questioned. The end is not yet.

THE AXE pESCKNpS.

About nine o'clock night before last
Mr., s. M. Perry, the chairman Of the
Los Angeles board OF supervisors, tele-
phoned to the Times Office the fact that
the state board of equalization had
raised the assessment of Los Angeles
county fifteen per cent. Unfortunately
there is no Democrat in the board OF
supervisors, and the HERALD was
ignored in communicating this informa-
ton, although there are a great many
Democratic taxpayers in Los Angeles
city and county. This gave the Times
a Scoop on this information. 1t is
perhaps all right, because the HERALD
made an enormous "scoop" on the
Times when this journal announced the
bankruptcy of S. M. Perry, the chair
man of the board of supervisors, with a
schedule of his assets and liabilities.
Our "scoop" was legitimate one,
while that Of the Times was hit be-
low the belt.
But waving the source from which
the information came, and the time Of
1bS aAAlNda, ObV DOuti1CAA NOohplSo3 oAA0
Los Angeles amongst the rest, have suf-
fered to some extent by the action of the
state board of equalization. The action
of that body in raising the assessment of
the city and county of San Francisco 80
per cent. will undoubtedly qualify to
some extent the ill-humor of Angeleiios.
All that our people have asked for is a
square deal, in which values will be so
adjusted that our own taxpayers will
not feel specially aggrieved. There is
no question that the action with respect
to San Francisco, which equalizes the
tax impost, and makes that center of
capital to some appreciable extent
responsive to its overshadowing values,
will break the force of the blow as to
Los Angeles county.
The tax question, as it now stands, is
as follows:
State board of equalization action:
San Francisco assessment raised 80
per cent. or s9S ,30S,000.
Los Angeles raised Is per cent. or
1924 4,000
Orange raised 10 per cent. or 1875, 900.
Ventura the only one of twelve coun-
ties cited to appear, unchanged.
