Walter L. Vail, one OF the cattle kings

them all to be in fine condition, with
very large reserves and vaults well filled
with coin. At meeting of the Los An
geles clearing house yesterday the sus-
pension of the San Diego bank was dis.
cussed and, while the situation will
probably not call for relief outside the
local resources of the other banks of
that city, the clearing house will render
assistance if needed. As. stated above,
none of the banks, members of the Los
Angeles clearing house, are creditors of
the California National Bank OF San
Diego, and win therefore not be directly
interested in its embarrassment.

The fact that the rural districts in
the state of New York gave greatly en-
larged Democratic vote, whilst the city
fell below its usual majority, has SO
dazed the Republicans that they are
making the widest charges OF corrup-
ton to account for it. Boss Platt and
General Hustled are making Themselves
ridiculous by declaring that the Demo-
Gratis spent over million dollars in 120
assembly districts to bride Republican
farmers to vote the Democratic ticket.
1t is not very complimentary to the

CAN A CAR COMPANY BLOCK STREET
IMPROVEMENTS?

With reference to the paving of Pearl
and Figueroa streets, contemporary
says that the street car company, it they
should peve their part of the street I'M
der the Vrooman allotment law, would
be compelled to issue bonds in excess of
the value of their road. That is, at the
rate OF 81 cents per square foot it would
cost $32 900 per mile, and as it is claimed
that no contractor would accept such
bonds with the paved road as its basis of
security, their road would, when the rest
of the street was paved, be in places two
feet above the grade. Street railroads
are authorized by section 43 OF the
Vrooman act to take advantage of the
bond law, but they are not compelled to.
They can do their own work, as they do
now and always have done. The people
have nothing to do with the question as
to how the street car companies may
elect to do their street work. Ii their
tracks are above the grade OF the streets,
the city has the undou bted right to
make them set them down or up to the
Grade. They have no franchise for ele-
waited or below-ground tracks, but are
subject to the law of grades the same as
the property holders. 1t would be
most extraordinary state of affairs if the
property holders along the line of street
could be estopped from having their
street improved because car company
was not willing to conform to the i'm
provement for any reason whatever. Ii
it has come to this, then it would be in
the power OF a car company to hold
city in check to the detriment OF the
whole community. The city council. in
the case OF Pearl and Figueroa streets,
at the request of the property holders,
has ordered the street paved with btu
minous rock, and bids have been ac-
copied to pave those portions OF the
street that lie two feet outside the ex-
terror tracks to the sidewalks. If the
company wants to do its part of the
work under the bond law, it can do so,
and if no contractor can be found to bid
on it, then the company can, as it has
always done, do the work itself. 1t is
no business of the people how much or
how little it has to pay. 1t in effect
owns The wide swath of street its cars
pass over, and it must either conform to
the improvements required or imperil
its franchise.
If the council should order the work
done on the railroad right OF way ''in all
respects similar to that already ordered
to be performed under the same speci-
fications and superintendent, with the
same material, within the same time
and to the like satisfaction and accept
ance," then the railroad company would
have the right to avail themselves
of the provisions of section 43 of the
bond law. But should the council order
said work done under the provisions Of
section 49S of the Civil Code and the
provisions OF the franchise or right Of
way of the railroad company, then the
company cannot avail themselves OF the
bond law. In other words, it is en-
tirely discretionary with the council
whether or not the railroad company
shall have the right to avail themselves

that the United States should come to

Turner Reported to Have Secured
San Francisco.

George s. Turner telegraphed from
San Francisco last night that he had
been successful in securing the San
Francisco team to play series of seven
games at the First street grounds, Los
Angeles, commencing Thanksgiving
Day. To cope with such a strong club,
Messrs. Edwards & Mcknight were
working the wires last night to secure
two or three famous players to complete
the Los Angeles team. A satisfactory
answer was received from James Nc
Aeer, one of the greatest outfielders the
baseball field has known. He tele-
graphed from Kansas City that he
would arrive Saturday night. The
only Lehman will surely be secured and
another favorite whose name cannot be
diyulged at present. DUNCAN, Decker,
Knell and others will practice daily un-
til the opening games. M

Ir IS q remarkable proof of the sound

In is a remarkable proof of the sound
ness OF the banking institutions of
Southern California that, during the
past three years of terrible reaction
from the "boom," there was not a sin
gle instance of bank failure. The San
Diego California National bank, which
suspended yesterday, is the first one to
succumb. The reason given by the Off
GERS is the constant shrinkage in depos-
its and the inability to realize on notes.
There is no reason to believe that this
collapse will involve other institutions,
al least we are assured that none OF our
local banks will lose anything by the
failure. The last quarterly statements
Of our Loe Angeles institutions showed

WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 9-DurinC the
debate Saturday on the bill to pay for
overtime worked by government en-
ployes since the passage of the eight hour
law some very positive opinions regard
ing the same were expressed. Harris said
that the bill could not possibly be put in
any shape that he could entertain the idea
OF supporting it. In point of morality it
rose no higher in dignity than the claim of
the highway robber who thought he DOS
sessed the power to seize a mans purse.
Cockrell said the bill had been held in ter
1orem over the senate and house. No
greater fraud had ever been attempted 20

name of the toiling millions
Wolcott Comments on Sympathy.
The question was finally reached on the
passage of the BILL when Wolcott said he
fancied that all senator's had the same
quality of sympathy with laboring men,
and thought that it was about time to
have some sympathy with the government.
The bill was an absUrdity and he moved it
be recommitted to the committee on edu-
cation. The motion was agreed to-yeas.
