The work of the last congress, known
as the billion dollar congress, is hardly
appreciated. Mr.. Amos Cummings, in
a recent number of the New York Sun,
quotes some interesting figures which,
he says, were compiled by Congressman
Benton Mcmillan OF Tennessee. Accord
ing to this calculation, if sixteen dollars
had been stolen from the United States
treasury in every minute since the dec
laration of independence was signed, it
would not amount to the money ex-
pended by the congress referred to; Mr..
Mcmillan is also quoted as giving an
other example showing that the sum OF
sixty dollars every hour since the birth
of Christ would not equal the recent ap-
preparations.

THERE is great ado in some quarters
over Governor Pennoyer's idea that he
would be glad to meet the president at
the state capital of Oregon. This is all
right and proper enough. The point
was first raised by governor of Massa-
chusetts early in the century, who
thought that it was the business OF the
president first to call on the chief magis-
trate of the state which he was honor
ing by his presence. That the governor
of Oregon would be sure to make po-
lite response to such courtesy cannot
be doubted. The windings and doub-
lings of etiquette are as confusing as
the mazes of Ariadne's web. 1t is pretty
apparent, however, that Governor PEN
noyer is by no manner Of means bound
to fly to the ends Of the earth to glorify

THE brother of the sun and uncle of
the moon, yclept the emperor OF China,
may not be very city," but he is by no
means SO ruggedly stupid as the United
States government supposed him to be
when it named exUnited States Senator
Blair as minister to China. Ii Hung,
the astute prime minister of that ancient
empire, was distinctly heard to declare
that he would be hanged if he intended
to be talked to death. 1t is very proba-
BILE that the whole thing was looked upon
as an insidious attempt to incite the
Chinese diplomatic officials to commit
suicide. The late United States senator
from New Hampshire was never known
to make speech that would have con-
sumed less than eight hours, and the
etiquette of the Chinese court does not
permit either the emperor or his prime

The announcement is again made, and
with the usual positiveness, that James
G. Blaine will not permit his name to 60
before the next Republican convention
as an aspirant for their nomination for
president. This is very likely. The
Plumed Knight has considerable skill in
forecasting events, and he knows, like
any other sagacious man, that it will be
the Democratic pole that will knock
down that persimmon. Blaine could
undoubtedly have had the nomination
in 1883 by four-ffths vote if he had
desired it, and the passage of the Nc
Kinley bill has not improved the pros
poets OF his party, as no one knows
better than he.

We PUBLISH elsewhere in the HERALD
the constitution of the Los Angeles
County Taxpayers association. Its OBJ
ject is to examine the accounts of all
the county officers during the past four
years and to suggest plan by which the
several accounts may be kept in clear
and orderly manner, which will admit
of seeing at a glance just how the tax
payers stand. There has been lament
able lack of method in this respect in
the past, and there has been grave sus-
picion of more than mere neglect in a
number of quarters. The movement is
good one, and it would have been we'll
for the community if it had been started
at much earlier date. sc

The past week has shown that sum-
mer is not far distant. We have had
several days of almost the maximum
heat which is recorded in Los Angeles,
and warm weather may be confidently
looked for from this time forward. 1t is
somewhat unfortunate that our seaside
resorts are not more numerous, the Re-
dondo being the only one on large scale
in condition to receive guests. How

In OUR whole political history we have
only had two presidents who could be
called small men physically. One was
Martin Van Buren, and the other was
Benjamin Harrison. But Van Buren,
was giant intellectually, and he had a
still more gigantic son, John. This
comparison can scarcely hold good with
the president and his son Russell.
Grant was not tall man, but he had a
robust and commanding appearance,
and, altogether, was calculated to take
the eye of crowd.

THE Terminal railway people have
succeeded, or nearly succeeded, in
securing the proper depot facilities for
their system on the east side of the
river, nearly opposite the Santa Fe
depot. The tract is understood to en-
brace space two hundred by two
thousand feet. 1t must strike about
every body that these st. Louis capital
lists are proceeding ona very broad plan
and are broad-gauge people. In fact,
the impression is deepening in Los An
geles that they represent the broad
gauge Union Pacific railway. Fire would
not burn that conviction out of the

The divine Sarah must, certes, have
been on sort of highbinder racket, the
other night, when she took the trip
through Chinatown so graphically de-
scribed by the San Francisco Examiner.
But escapades are by no means unusual
things with this serenely poised and
gifted being. If she were to pull up in
Coventry and become acquainted with
the legend of that eccentric beauty, the
Lady Godiva, she would Immediately
proceed to initiate her. The Bernhardt
is nothing if not original.
