leases. Such bonds have been worth
less in the past, filling in the highest
sense the idea involved in the word
"straw bail" The state OF California
has probably as much chance of realiz-
ing on this bond as it has of leading the
procession in the millennium, should
Wong Ark choose to take leg bail. The
murder itself was of the most cold
blooded description. Goot Cue was
trying to escape from the man who
had bought her to make gains
from the prostitution of her
body. Knowing that his slave was
restive in her chains her brutal master
shot her down with old-blooded ferocity.
This is one of many similar instances
that have occurred in this community.
Like cases are reported from all parts OF
California almost daily. There are few
of our people who believe that Wong
Ark ought to have been admitted to
bail under any circumstances, and not
score who think that Cinnamon, whose
only claim to pecuniary responsibility
rests on houses built on leased lands,
should have been allowed to become his
bondsmen. This case, following close
upon the heels OF Nee Lee, has directed
attention to the peculiar administration
of the law as respects Chinese malefac-
tors in Los Angeles county. The people
are indignant, and demand that halt
shall be called to such misplaced

Ex-GovERNoR LIONEL A. SHELDON has
an article in the last Forum devoted to
the profits of fruit culture in California.
1t is we'll written, is conservative in its
statements and conclusions and is alto
gether timely and valuable contribu-
ton to the limited literature devoted to
the subject. California is destined to
raise the major portion of the citrus,
and the dried, crystallized and canned
deciduous fruits consumed in this coun-
try, and the pursuit is as remunerative
as it is delightful.

THE supervisors advertised for bids
for the completion Of the upper story
of the new court house. The oids were
to be received until 2 O'Clock yester-
day afternoon. A member of a local
manufacturing firm informed us yes
terday that he wanted to figure on
the work, and in order to do so he
wished TO examine the upper story and
make measurements. But he found
great difficulty in doing SO. He was
told By the janitor at the court house
that he could not get into the upper
story without an order from the super
visors. After he procured permit OBJ
stac.es were interposed and he had to.
iairly force bis way in before he could
ret to the upper story. 1t will cost the
county about 1000 to complete the
story, and competition among bidders
ought to have been encouraged instead
Of being discouraged as it has been by
interposing such difficulties as our in
formant encountered. Other persons

EX-PosTM TMAsTER-GENERAL CLARKsoN is
said to be an exact copy of Matthew Stan
ley Quay, whom he succeeds as chairman
of the executive committee of the Repub-
lican national committee. He is ma
chine politician OF the most uncompro-
missing kind. There is said to be cabal
in the Republican party to force Harri
son to release his aspirations for Sec
ond term, and Clarkson is classed as
sympathizing with this movement. To
further it he is said to have resigned
his position at Washington. The osten-
sible choice for president OF this cabal is
thought to be Blaine, though Alger and
Clarkson are known to be very close,
and Blaine is supposed to be merely a
cloak, at least as far as Clarkson
is concerned. Mr.. Chauncey NJ. De-
pew, in an interview in London the
other day, said that Mr.. Harrison would
be renominated by his party. Colonel
Elliot F. Sheppard, a mighty man who
married one OF Vanderbilt's daughters,
and who, as the editor of the New York
Evening Mail and Express, keeps text
of scripture standing steadily at the
head of his paper--doubtless as stand
off to the many blood-curdling oaths the
old commodore was won't to swear in his
emotional moods-says that Mr.. Harri-
son will be renominated and reelected.
Both OF these are dangerous statements.
Notwithstanding the popular idea
that it is easy for presi-
dent to so manipulate the power of
his Office as to insure denomination,
it is in fact not at all easy. The presi-
dents who have been renominated have
achieved this distinction in response to
strong popular or partizan demand.
and not at all as a result of their own
intriguing. Mr.. Rutherford B. Hayes
would have given anything on earth for
denomination by his party, but no
earthly machinery, and, we may add,
no conceivable influence, could have
obtained for him this compliment.
Arthur, far better man, also failed.
The only possible coniuncture in which
Harrison would be able to secure the
coveted prize of denomination by his
party would be the conviction on the
part Of the Republican leaders of an
inevitable Democratic success.

We have no doubt that the captain OF
the Itata's version of the translation of
the report about the foundering of the
ship Maipo is correct. The translator
rendered the word ''fondear' ''foun-
dered," instead OF anchored at Iqui-
que. The Maipo had arms and equip
ments for $4,000 cavalry and infantry on
board, and her loss just as she had
arrived at her destination would have
been severe blow TO the cause OF the
Chilean patriots. But the fact that no
such loss has been referred to in late
dispatches, and the further fact that the
patriot army has been increased, armed
and modified since the reported foun-
dering of the Maipo, satisfy us that
Captain Mannzen is right.

THERE is great state OF surprise in
all circles of Los Angeles at the release
of Wong Ark, the slayer of Goot Cue,
by Judge Smith, on Friday last, on $l0,-
900 bonds. Criticism is first directed
towards the fact that Wong Ark bonds
men are Cinnamon. The sums in which
they are qualified are based upon an
ownership in buildings standing on
leased land, which will revert to the
landowners at the expiration Of the
Los Angeles herald., 1891-08-02
NO PROTECTION AGAINST FIRE.

Several valuable buildings in the hill
district of the city have been destroyed
by fire in the past month or two. 1t is
an aggravation of the loss to the owners
to know that in nearly every case their
property might have been partially or
wholly saved had there been water
available with which to combat the fire.
We are assured that Major KimbalPs
fine residence, which was totally de-
stroyed yesterday morning, might have
been saved if the water pipes had not
been entirely empty. For many months
past the people living in the hill district
have complained of tine inadequate SER
vice of the Citizens Water company, as
well as of the impure character of the
water that corporation furnishes. These
complaints have been constant and loud.
They have been brought into the courts
and before the council, yet nothing
seems to have been done to remedy the
crying evil. Here is nearly one-fourth
of the residence portion of the city
which is left to the mercy of the flames
and without that protection which water
would afford, simply because the COM
pany that holds the water franchise for
that part of the city is unable to supply
the water to which the people are en-
titled. 1t is not pretended that
water in sufficient quantities
cannot be obtained, but the
trouble seems to be with the COM
pany, which cannot furnish the pumps,
machinery and conduits necessary to
convey from the river the supply re-
quired. The hill people look to the city
council for relief. 1t is manifestly the
duty of that body to afford it. If the
owners of the franchise will not fulfill
their part of the contract, why does not
the city make them do it. The council
holds the key to the situation, and if
the hill people are left without such
protection from fire as they are justly
entitled to, the council Is to blame for
it, and the city can be held responsible
for all consequent losses. Let the coun-
Gil do its duty at once, and thus secure
the city against litigation for loss of
property which might be saved with
proper supply of water in the hill dis
trict.
There is another aspect of this ex-
posed condition of hill property. With
a few more such experiences as the de-
struction OF Major Kimball's residence,
che insurance companies will be very
likely to cancel all their policies in the
hill district, or at least they will require
much higher rates than heretofore, 30
as to meet the increased risk. In either
event we shall be confronted with the
extraordinary fact that one portion of
the people Of the city are Disseminated
against in very material point, because
the municipal authorities neglect
to stand between them and a derelict
corporation they themselves have
brought into existence. The city coun-
ell is primarily responsible for the exist
ence of the water company; they
granted it the franchise, the object of
which was to furnish reasonable sup
ply of water to the hill portions of the
city; and it is the city's duty to see
that such water is furnished or annul
the franchise. The people have nobody
but the city to look to for relief, and the
city ought to be able to promptly
grant it.

The Graves Murder Trial.
By the United Press

DENVER, Col, Dec. 16. Mrs.
Worrell, who very nearly became
a victim to the same poison which
killed Mrs. Barnaby, was on the
stand all the morning in the Graves
trial. She gave some very inter-
esting testimony against the Doc
tor and related the story of her re-
lations with Mrs. Barnaby. She said
she was 49 years old and met Mrs.
Barnaby first in 1877. She had not
been we'll since April last prior to
that time. She had perfect health
while she was in California. She
wrote letters for Mrs. Barnaby to
Dr.. Graves. He was always ad.
vised of where they were going.
He knew what time they we're com
ing to Denver in January last.
Mrs. Rarnaby told her that she was
very much disappointed with the
Doctor. She talked of making a
Lew will. She thought she had
left the Doctor too much and sale
she had not left her daughters
enough.
