This is Democratic year, and it Will
be signalized by any number OF pleasant
things. Not the least of these will be
the New Years edition OF the HERALD.
This publication will contain an ex-
hsustive resume of the. events OF
the past year, and will be scat
tered broadcast over the United
States. No doubt our patrons will, as in
the past, extend generous support to
this issue, OF which an unusually large
number of copies will be printed. Its
letter press will be devoted to accurate
descriptions Of the city and county OF
Los Angeles and their leading indus
tries, and it's advertising columns will
tell of the development of business in
our midst. The merchants and busi-
ness men ofthe city will be interviewed
by our solicitors, and we art. confident
that they will respond liberally. 1t
will simply be bread cast upon the
waters, which will return before the

from $50 to $50 per acre. Now, it that
is not an exorbitant valuation, what are
citrus fruit lands worth that clear from
$3.50 to $3.50 per acre on half.grown trees?
Scores of fruit farms yielding such re-
turns are to be found all the way
from here to Riverside, wherever they
are well cultivated and their products
properly marketed.
Hence we say that the value OF all
lands depends upon their producing ca
pacity. The man who gets from $500
to $4,000 worth of fruit off arm of tf.
teen acres is far better off than the man
who gets similar value of grain off l2o
acres in Northern California or Oregon.
because his labor account is less and his
work hours OF shorter duration. Add
to these potent advantages the excellent
health-giving climate we all enjoy sc
much, and we think that the reasoning
man will say that our present valus
tions of land in Southern California are
not excessive,

Tho Wind Storm.

EDITORS HERALD: Will you kindly
allow me space to correct a misstate-
ment in your issue of today. Speaking
of the damage done to fruit trees in the
San Gabriel valley by the wind storm of
yesterday your correspondent states
that "The severe wind did great damage
to the orange crop throughout the val
ley" This statement is not correct go
far as the neighborhoods of Ramona,
Alhambra, San Gabriel. and the line of
country east of these districts are con-
cerned. The storm came into the valley
at first from the northwest, quite early
in the rhorning, and travelled eastward
along the base of the mountains, and
did not strike the lower levels until
later in the day, and though there was
undoubtedly plenty of wind and dust,
very little damage was done to the
orchards in the above-named localities.
SAN GABRIEL.
[The exceptions noted by the corre-
spondent were plainly stated in the re-
port of the storm referred to, as were
the places where considerable damage
was done. The report was correct as
published, but possibly the above makes
some of the featu res palmer.

THE situation in France is very grave.
At present it seems as if venality in re-
gard to the gigantic Panama canal
swindle Las extended through all
branches of the government. If there
is man on horseback in la belle patris
who dares to risk his future on one
throw of the political dice he now has
the opportunity which heretofore has
made dictstors and emperors. All
lovers of progress and Republicanism
however, must hope that the crisis may
be passed without imperiling the pres
ent form of government. Justice re-
quires the severe punishment of the
guilty deputies and senators. but liberty
demands that the republic shall live.

IT is said that the five Republican
members of the council intend to see
that the Democratic members of the fire
and police commissions are pledged to
certain candidates fer chiefs of these
departments; that is to say, that no
Democrat can be appointed to the COM
missions named who will not vote for
the men the Republican councilmen
wish appointed as chiefs. This position
is untenable. The people of this city
declared by their vote at the last elec-
tion that they were not satisfied with a
Republican administration of affairs,
and it is fitting that the next two years
should zee all the city departments un-
der the charge of Democrats. The re-
suit will be decisive. II affairs are car
ried on better than they have been un-
der control of the opposite party, De-
mocracy will continue in power; if there
should happen to be cause for dissatisfac'
ton it will give the opposition a point
d'appui, but in any case the Democratic
party will be held responsible for the
administration of city affairs, and to
justify the placing OF that responsibility
the party should be in control of all ad.
ministrative departments. The only
way this can be done is to select Demo
Gratis as the representatives of that
party on the commissions who will vote
for Democrats. That will give the mayor
the controlling vote, as the charter in
tends shall be the case. and If he should
feel inclined to vote for Republican
candidate, the responsibility will resi-
with him.

rison will be buried Thursday morning

The Last Hours.
At II 80 o'clock DR.. Gardner said to
Mr.. Halford that if Mrs. Harrison passed
the midnight hour alive, she would in
all probability live until o'clock in the
morning. The patients respiration
then was scant twelve to the minute.
Until it decreased to 10 minute DR..
Gardner said that there was no inme-
diate danger of collapse. In the course
of the disease he said Mrs. Harrison's
respiration had been as high as forty
five or fifty minute for brief intervals.
At midnight all the members of the
family were surrounding the bedside.
The patient layil semi-conscious and
motionless position and there were in
dications that an immediate dissolution
was at hand. The doctor then made a
hasty examination and learned that the
respiration was gradually decreasing
and there We're other signs that the pa
tient was in the throes of death. He
made an almost inaudible communica-
ton to the bereaved ones, using the
words, II don't think she will last half
an hour" At 1:90 she was scarcely
breathing and the respiratiors had fallen
to eight per minute.

without an amendment that virtually
killed it.
The present law has been pro-
nounced unconstitutional by the best
lawyers of the state, was so reported
by the Judiciary committee of SEN
ate, and if our state officers had done
their duty it would have been con-
tested in the courts long ago, and SO
declared.
The Mining Companies know full
we'll that the law is unconstitutional
and SO have had it engrafted upon
the proposed amendment in question
to legalize this robbery of the people.
In my Investigation [ find that the
Minnesota Iron Co., Of Duluth under
the workings of this unconstitutional
law, having paid up capital of
100000 only pay a tax of $S,S9S.
If they were taxed as farmers are
taxed upon ] their actual value they
would pay tax Of $4,000 each a
year. Yet legislature elected to
serve the people refused to repeal the
law, majority of them preferring to
serve the devil. Ialso found that this
Minnesota Iron Co. owns the Duluth
& [. r. r. r. This railroad received
land grant from the state $4,000
acres of it's richest mineral lands, not
one acre of which can be bought at
any price, worth at a low estimate
S3,GGO,O0O. This railroad pays tax
Of less than $4,000 upon its gross
earnings. So we have the Minnesota
Iron Go. with its S14,O0O,OOO and the
D. & I. r. r. r. with it's 10000 acres
of mineral land said by expert real
estate men who deal in mineral land
to be worth fifty millions, only pay
ing altogether $3.50 a year and it is
to legalize this magnificent steal that
the people are asked to ratify at the
polls senate file 124.
Voters of Minnesota, when you go
to the polls, search on your ballots
for an amendment to the constitution
which reads: amendment to Sec.
three (3) Article nine Coy of the con-
stitution providing for the taxation
Of sleeping Car companies and other
Companies"
Scratch out the yes with an en-
phatic pencil mark that cannot be
erased, leaving the word no as your
tribute to the railroads and mining
companies of Minnesota.
The fact that there are two amend
ments to he voted upon this year, and
that one is. to be voted by X and the
other by marking out the words "yes'
Or mo-" and the belief on my part
that such scheme will confuse the
people in marking their ballots; my
advise would be that in case one is
not perfectly sure in his own mind as
to which amendment he desires to
vote against, the only safe way will
be to vote against both of them for no

MRS. HARRISON.

DR.. Gardner notified the family that
the end was close at hand. In this po-
sition he remained until /: 40 when life
was thought to. be extinct, and Lieu
tenant Parker, who was at the bedside,
called in Dr., Gardner and the expe-
rienced eye of the physician soon de-
tected that Mrs. Harrison was no more.
The president gave way to an almost
Audible Outburst of Grief,
but soon suppressed his emotion and
endeavored to console Mrs. Mckee, his
daughter. Allth members of the fam
lily remained in the room for fifteen or
twenty minutes after the death and
then, overcome by grief, they repaired
to their respective rooms and were
alone in their great sorrow. The first
intelligence of Mrs. Harrison's death was
communicated, to the newspaper repre-
sentatives who were grouped in a room
assigned to the clerical force of the ex-
ecutive mansion by Mr.. Montgomery, an
employe. lieutenant Parker, who was
present when Mrs. Harrison passed
away, said, in speaking to the newspa-
per men, that it occurred without
struggle. Mr.. Halford Immediately no.
titled all the cabinet officers who are
now out of town of Mrs. Harrison's
death.

in this state; en- all domestic insur-
ance companies of this state, or On
either or any such companies.
Cor III lieu of such tax on the gross
earnings of such companies, or either
or any of them, an annual license fee,
or tax may be imposed on them, or
any or either of them"
(Sections two and three provide for
the time of voting and form Of ballot.)
A careful perusal Of the foregoing
bill will, in view of the fact that there
are now no satisfactory laws upon our
statutes providing for such taxation,
carry conviction to every mind that
the intent Of the law as introduced
was meritorious, To my utter aston
ishment after the adjournment Of the
legislature and the printing of the
laws, Senate File 124 contained the
simple word RAILROADS. in the title
and body of the file, interpolated into
it by some one in the same manner as
"and others" were interpolated into
H. F. 157 of Infamous memory. The
original bill, a senate copy of which is
in my possession, did not contain the
word railroads." and no mention of
the word can be found in the senate
journal in connection with the bill in
question, but when the bill after pass
ing the Senate, went to the House, 1.-THE
word railroads" is mentioned, show
ing that somewhere between the two
houses the Interpolation was accom-
plished. Diligent search in the secre-
tary Of states office reveals the fact
that the original Senate File IL can
not be found. Senator McHale OF
Shakopee is my authority for this
statement) By inserting the word
railroads into the above bill your
readers can readily sec it's far reach
ing effect. It will then be in the
power Of any purchasable Legislature
to impose an "annual license fee or
tax" in lieu of the present tax Of per
cent. upon the gross earnings Of rail
roads and any one who realizes the
influence railroad companies have
over the legislatures of states, can
easily imagine what that annual
license fee or tax" will amount to.
Only few years ago the railroads
got an amendment through the legis-
lature providing for the repeal OF the
present law, but it was defeated by
the people at the polls. Now they
seek to accomplish it in, the same
manner as they did Ell. z. 157-forg-
cry. But the law is constitutional
and the people have a "say" at it as
well as the legislature, and it will
again suffer defeat If the people know
what the railroads are after.
That the people may realize the adj
vantage the adoption of Senate File
124 would be to the railroads, let me
give a few statistics. The railroads
now pay tax of 3 per cent. upon
their gross earnings. Under this law
