The HERALD has received a communi-
cation from lady propert y-owner con-
cerning the widening of Los Angeles
stree to the city limits in the interest
of lot of speculators-a shameless job
which the city council allowed to pass
through its hands. We have not pub
lished the missive, although it was ac-
companied by the name of the writer,
for the reason that its expressions Of
resentment are so extreme that we have
thought that its publication would
weaken strong case. But we can enter
perfectly into the sentiment OF this
lady, and can sympathize with her. The
desire to acquire a home is one
of the most honorable and natural
instincts of the human heart.
To rest under ones own vine and
fig tree, with no one to make one afraid,
comes down from hoar antiquity as the
climax of happiness or at least content.
To find, after one has toiled and moiled
to bring this result about, that one has,
after all, to pay rent, in the shape of
UdAeH, ~ ulSCOuIdSluS III tlo CAbIOAS.
The fact is now generally known that
the city and county taxes of Los An
geles amount to $26 for every man,
woman and child within their limits.
This is sufficiently austere exhibit for
the ordinary mortal. But to find that,
after you have paid taxes at an
indefensible rate, you are liable
to be rooted out of your home
by lot of vandal speculators, is
almost too much for human flesh and
blood to bear. In the case of the
widening of Los Angeles street, it is pro-
posed to confscate certain number of
front feet, to set back the fences
and lin some cases the houses,
to make havoc with trees, gar
dens and flowers, and then to make
the property holders pay for their own
degpoiling. They are to be robbed and
assessed in the same breath. We as
sure our lady correspondent that we are
with her in her perhaps too fervid pro-
test against wrong, and we believe that
the courts will stand as an impenetrable

PERPETUAL MOTION.

In one Of its editors most brilliant
efforts-remarkable as usual for all higher
(?l graces of composition and range of
thought-the Republican kicks because
we are not republican according to its
standard. And sa 1t goes. The thought
that We can not exactly suit our neighbor
is enough TO make life a hollow mockery
1t wants to be the only republican paper
in the county, aud claims such is the case,
but still il kicks. It's editor has damned
the PRESS from all points of the political
compass for being this, or not being that
and now says the PRESS isn't anything.
But he kicks just the same. He favored
Independents in 1888 and opposed repubi
cans. In 1890 he ostensiblY opposed in
dependents and favored republicans. II
would be "damnable outrage" though
for any body else to even contemplate
such thing. He acknowledged in his
own paper that the union laberites
bought him body and soul for $500.
Yet following his own allegation that the
PRESS man sold his STRAW beny birth
mark for a mess Of pottage, the little
kick glides after on schedule time.
Varied and copious have been our efforts
TO suit our neighbor-but nary q suit,
His little kick is still coming. He must
be dIspeptic or else his liver is out OF
whack. The PRESS is Indifferent as TO his
opinion, likewise to his puerile editorial
attacks upon this writer. They remind
us much OF the yelps of whipped puppy.
But the people of Haud county must
have observed that Mr.. Van Hosen as
sumes as his prerogative the right TO
abuse any man whom his own sweet will
suggests his friends shall be ab-
solved from like treatment. To this We
cotene Of friends that two can play at the
same game. SO whenever any OF you
hunger for a touch Of high life, just ''cut
your dog loose" and watch the fur fly.
Up to date our contemporary record
in one long. continuous whine, or kick at
first one man or another. until all aven.
ues of Legitimate reasoning lead up to the
conclusion that he is incapacitated by
either physical or mental misfortune
from experiencing a sense of generosity
OF even fairness. The afflicted al
ways demand sympathy, and with that
sentiment uppermost in mind, we tender
him the coinmunity's profound pity.
at which he Is also entitled to kick.

THE REPUBLICAN KNIFE.

The Sioux City Journals Pierre cores
pondent discusses the past weeks sena-
torIal movements as follows:
The startling discovery was made to the
effect that Mr.. Melville, who received such
large republican vote for senator yester
day, and who so far has been only a can
didate to make an impression on the in
dependent party, had entered into writ
ten agreement with the Independents by
which they were to largely control the
political patronage OF the state, as we'll as
have an advC cate in Mr.. Melville for their
peculiar measures. 1t created tremen-
dous howl. Both of the morning papers
came out demanding an Investigation,
and many prominent republicans said that
Mr. Melville could never have their votes
until they were satisfied as to the falsity
OF the charges Mr.. Melville in AN inter-
view said
Yes, read the morning papers, but
do not care to get into any newspaper con-
troversy. Regarding the statement or the
lnsinuation that made an of or agree
ment to give any official patronage to the
independents for their support will say
that it is absolutely and unQualifedly false.
Such "A thing has not been discussed be-
tween US. will say, however, that did
make a written statement Of my views on
certain questions, such as the silver ques-
tion, currency question, Union Pacific
railway question, etc, which views are
precisely those given in my speeches on
the stump before election and which be.
lieve are in harmony with the principles OF
the republican party, and have not now
or have had any besitancy in giving my
views on these or any other public ques-
ton"
Mr.. Knipe. the leader of the indepen-
dents, who voted for Mr.. Melville, in an
interview with your correspondent said
II have voted for Mr. Melville as an in
independent und not rs republican.
HIS letter to US satisfies me that he is as
much al independent rs any one could
demand. shall continue to vote for him
and consider him as our most available
candidate"
The friends of the other candidates are
up in arms. The Moody men claim it is a
scheme Of ex Delegate Matthews and they
will never vote for Nr. Melville while the
world stands. Mr.. Matthews halls from
the same county as the independents who
voted for Mr.. Melville and assisted in
their election last fall. The vote on SEN
ator day shows that these men are liza.
BILE TO keep their word.

A CHESTNUT.
The Senatorial Fight Still goes on, and
the Members vote for
any body.
Did Caucus Nominees are Again Taken
up, and new Start made

Which may Mean, After a full Party
a vote Moody will give Somebody
else a Chance.

b The Senatorial contest at Pierre remains
much the same, with no result in sight,
a ruuOr is curernt that the national dem
ocratic conmittee has taken a hand, and
will Try to induce South Dakota democrats

independents will vote for a democrat.
The Illinois legislature is also in dead
lock, with the balance of power held bv
three alliance men, or independents.
South Dakota independents. however,
deny that any such deal is contemplated.
LATER-A change has come over the
situation, the three parties having centered
on caucus nominees. Republicans haye
gone back TO Moody, Independents to Kyle
and the dems stick to Tripp. After play
ing horse two or three weeks the legisIa-
ture il now about where It began, and no

They are not in position to select who
they want. They must take the man that
a faction of the independents will select.
One thing is sure the republican that will
