PROSPERITY AHEAD.

Our local columns today present an
article on material enterprises in this
section, which makes showing well
worthy the attention OF those who have
interests here. Many of these enter
prises are already ON foot or partially
so. Others are assured as on the eve of
being placed in an actual state of pro-
gress. There is hardly one of them that
is not an assured fact for some time in
the future, and not far removed. The
next six months will, in all probability.
see them all under way. Others might
be added, but anything not seemingly
assured has been omitted. For exam
pie. there is an earnest movement now
being attempted in the widening of the
San Gabriel valley railway to stand
ard gauge, and also to extend it beyond
Monrovia, through the Azusa valley to
Pomona, or beyond. This is likely to
succeed; but it is not sufficiently GER
tain yet to make much OF a point out
OF. Again, San Francisco capital has
been interested to some extent to build
semi-rural family hotel on Second
street, on the site of the Belmont, de-
stroyed few months ago by fire. But
that too is somewhat indefinite.
The materialities OF this section never
rested on so solid basis as now and
there never were so many encouraging
features in the situation. insuring verv
marked advance along all lines OF
progress of a temporal nature. The
outside districts are filling up with an
excellent class OF people. The re-
sources Of the section are being devel-
oped at rapid pace, and money
is flowing in here in a steady stream,
and in no diminutive volume. Follow
ing this must come soon new growth
in urban population and improvements
of all sorts. There are a great many
eastern people coming in here, and
more to follow. The three days, includ-
ing yesterday and tomorrow, will bring
in not less than 500 visitors, who will
look us over and form an opinion that
cannot be unfavorable. The hotels are
full; business is pretty good, and the
people are making little money. We
say there is prosperity ahead for us,
and it will be in larger measure than
most OF us think.

THERE is considerable complaint in
the Boyle and Brooklyn Heights section
OF the city about certain exactions of
the East Side Water company. 1t
seems that they have a peculiar rule
which requires bonus of SIS from each
person who desires to take their water.
This seems to be pure gift OF the rate
payer, or rather an arbitrary exaction
OF the company, and no connection with
their mains can be had without first
pungling this bonus. Then the fee OF
$3.50 is charged for tapping the pipe
and making the connection, plus so
much per foot for the pipe required to
reach from the main to the premises.
But it must be noted that where the
City Water company's mains are laid
the $l5 bonus is not exacted--only on
streets where no other company fur
nishes water. 1t looks to us as if this
is matter worthy of the attention of
the council. If the company can exact
clear bonus of SIS as an inducement
to furnish water, what is to prevent it
from asking twice or thrice that sum, or
indeed any sum, however great, it's con-
science may limit it to?

SENATOR MORGAN, OF mississippi, in his
eulogy on Sherman yesterday, spoke
like an American, like man and like
soldier. The real soldiers ON both sides
recognize the honesty of purpose and
heroism OF action that actuated and
marked those on the other side. 1t is
the jayhawking, judge advocates, like
ingalls,, that never smelled powder, nor
ran the risk of the slightest scratch to
their hides, who are always fighting the
war over again. Sherman was one Of
the real heroes OF the war, and, like a
true patriot, when the war was over, he
wished to see the south again become a
really integral part of the union. Nor
gan fought Sherman in the field, and
now can honor his memory as that OF q
great American, whose life was full of
heroism.

AND now we are comforted with the
probability that the schools will be COM
PEELED to close month or two earlier
this year than ever before for the want
of funds. The late council diverted
moneys belonging to the schools to the
bridge fund, and they have never been
paid back. Besides this lump diversion
OF sec, 900, about ten Thousand dollars OF
the current school moneys were used to
pay for extras in the construction of
school buildings. The last council also
cut down the estimates of the superin-
tendent for running the schools during
the year about 100000, and all these di-
versions and deductions have brought
us face to face with a three months',
perhaps five months vacation, during
which the children will have ample
time to unlearn all they have been
taught since tine opening of the schools
last October. Last year the pupils were
placed ON half time for the want of
school rooms ;sthis year we have school
rooms to give them all full time tuition,
butnot the money required to keep them
open. Verify, the people OF this city
are well served by their trusted officials.

IT SEEMS that the defects found in the
new city hall are more serious than
was at first supposed. 1t is not the
mere settling of the building by its own
weight that has caused the fractures
in the walls and the crevices in the
wainscoting, but there is a sag in the
center OF the building which has bowed
all the upper floors to some extent. The
cause of this has been found in the base
ment, where wooden girders OF INSULT
cient strength resting on wooden COL
umns at the ends, instead Of iron Or
brick piers, have yielded to the tre-
mendous pressure OF the superintendent
weight. What are we to think OF such
cardinal defects in a structure of this
character? The architect must have
made some very erroneous calculations
about the weight of the roof and the
upper stories when he failed to provide
for sufficient foundatIonal support to
hold them in place. The building has
been occupied less than two years.

MR.. LINDE'S LETTER.
His Explanation as to Damron's Bail
Bond.


Bond.
EDITORS HERALD: The announcement
in the morning papers that had with
drawn from Mr.. Damron's bail bonds
has no doubt created an erroneous i'm
preston, and therefore I desire to ex-
plain the matter. Mr.. Damron sent for
me yesterday; and informed me that he
desired to surrender himself on the two
bonds now existing as prelim-
mary step toward concentrating
his sureties and releasing himself on
new bonds in all cases. He instructed
me to procure certified copies of the
bonds and send them to him, go that he
might surrender himself. BY reason of
failing to understand him correctly,
gave the bonds to the sheriff instead of
Mr.. Damron, and so the mistake hap
pened. In this matter OF surrender Mr..
Damron took the initiative part against
my advice, and l am indeed sorry that
my error should have fallen on him. 1t
must be admitted that there is great
prejudice here against Mr.. Damron, and
at times have feared that the pressure
would overwhelm his powers OF endur-
ance. do believe this is wrong in a
Christian community; at least it is con-
trary to American principles of justice.
Instead OF losing confidence in him, ]
have more than ever, and stand ready
to befriend him as long as am in po-
sition to do it. Very respectfully,
FREDERICK, LINDE.
