mature consideration of our people.
San Pedro has the advantage of having
been favoTably reported upon by the
government boards OF engineers for the
past twenty years. A considerable
amount OF money has already been spent
on the harbor by the government, with
most satisfactory results. In addition,
three railways, the Southern Pacific, the
Santa Fe and the Terminal, have or will
have termini there, with ample facilities
for the transaction of great local and
transcontinental business. II our efforts
are scattered we shall certainly fail to
attract from congress- any effective
recognition. II they are concentrated
on San Pedro, especially in view of the
past action OF the government, we can
reasonably hope to accomplish some
thing even at the present session of con-
gress. The suggestion about sending a
special committee to Washington is
worthy OF attention.

THE DANGER LINE.

We live in an age of great projects,
and the municipality of Les Angeles
is the center around which many of
them revolve. The latest development
in this line is a sweeping franchise
which it is proposed to give to one d.
Neuhart. Its scope is best explained by
quoting the title of the ordinance, which
reads as follows: "An ordinance grant
Sing to D. Neuhart, and to his assigns,
"the right to construct, lay, maintain,
fuse and operate in the city of Los An
''gees, state of California, and along
"and under the public ways of said city,
"conduits, pipes, wires, cables, con-
"ductors, testing stations and necessary
connections, fixtures and appliances
''for the transmission of messages,
"sound, signals and the production of
'power, heat and light by the aid of
electricity, Steam or cases." Here is
certainly most sweeping demand. 1t
is not too much to say that this priv
ilege, in growing city like Los Angeles,
is worth half million dollars. 1t con-
fers practically unlimited power upon
Mr.. Neuhart to rip up the streets and
take possession OF their whole width,
if he shall so elect. There is no re-
striction as to the space his conduits
shall occupy. They may stretch from
curb to curb, and take in the space un
der the sidewalks, for anything that ap
pears in the ordinance to the contrary.
In all eastern cities where privileges of
this kind have been granted there have
been careful specifications as to the
space the conduits shall occupy, and
other safeguards to the rights of the city
and the citizen. For this magnificent
| franchise Mr.. Neuhart is to pay the city
per cent of the net earnings OF his cor
poration. It would be princely con-
cession to allow him a limited space of
the street, say from three to five feet,
on consideration of his paving into the
city treasury 5 per cent of the gross earn
ings Of his company. The net earnings
are nebulous in many cases. 1t is heart
lily to be hoped that the council will
i consider the interests of the city in this
matter. A sweeping concession, like
that proposed, is to be deprecated on all
grounds. We take the liberty of sug.
| gesting, also, that it is high time that
the people of Los Angeles should arouse
themselves from very peculiar leth-
argy and begin to take an interest in
their own affairs. The present munich
pal conjuncture is critical one.

Dickens as an Art Critic.

The son of q neighbor of Dickens, then
a very young artist-indeed, quite boy
had painted his first picture, the sub
ject being an aged knight in full armor,
apparently having recently returned
from the wars, and overcome with fa-
tigue. Finding himself unable to reach
his ancestral CASTLE he sinks exhausted
on a fallen tree in a sort of orchard, and
some cottage children bring him some
fruit to recruit his exhausted strength.
Dickens took great interest in the young
artist-who, by the way, is now very
eminent-and greatly admired his pic
ture, especially the figure of the old
knight; but, MY dear fellow" he said,
s'those apples won't be of any use-that
old gentleman requires burned brandy
to bring him oundw-Teinple Bar.

THE Hon. VIM. M. Springer, the chair

The Hon. VIM. M. Springer, the chair
man of the house committee Of ways
and means, said, in an interview ves-
terday, that the action of the New York
Democratic state convention practically
rules Cleveland out of the presidential
contest. All Democrats who pause to
reflect will agree with Springer that a
candidate who is unani mously repu-
dated by his own state ought not to an
pear in the Chicago convention. He
inclines to believe that Gen. John M.
Palmer will be presented by Illinois, and
will be formidable candidate. There
is only one objection to General Palmer,
and that is his extreme age. AS the
chairman of the ways and means com
mittee says, the Democratic party will
have no patience with boilers. AS the
days roll on the candidacy of Senator
Hill will more and more commend itself
to the common sense Of the Democratic
masses. The great New Yorker will
steadily grow in the public estimation.

A Word About Stage Dialogue.

The art Of writing good stage dialogue
is still inchoate. 1t must be natural,
and yet when it is natural it is beneath
the dignity of the drama, and must be
elevated again to the proper pitch. Man
ifestly the stage is not to blame for this,
but the world of society, which is too
loquacious and frivolous, and lives with
out regard to the compensations, keep
ing and culininations of art. Only the
esoteric essence of our life is now fit for
dramatic representation, and the dram
atists who can see and adequately por-
tray that essence are-shall we say he
is?--not ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Maga-

The existence of names for wheat III
the most ancient languages confirms the
evidence of its great antiquity and OF Its
cultivation in the more temperate parts
of Europe, Asia and Africa. From the
evidence adduced by botanists OF high
standing, it seems highly improbable
that wheat has never been found grow
ing persistently in wild state, although
it has often been asserted by poets, trav-
elers and historians.
In the Odyssey, for example, we are
told that wheat formerly grew in Sicily
without the aid of man. Diodorus re-
peats the tradition that Osiris found
wheat and barley growing promiscu-
ously in Palestine, but neither this nor
other reputed discoveries OF wheat
growing wild seem at all credible, see
ing that it does not appear to be endow-
ed with the power of persistency, ex-
cept under continued culture. st. Louis

The discourtesy shown to the Los
Angeles delegates to the Club conven-
tion at San. Francisco, and, indeed, to
those of Southern California at large, is
in keeping with the traditional policy of
the northern and central counties in all
lines. In the so-called Immigration
convention held in the Bay city, Butte
county was assigned seven delegates to
five allotted to Los Angeles. On the
same ratio this county ought to have had
fifty. Southern California was not
deemed worthy OF recognition in the
convention of league clubs, but, all the
same, il the northern and central coun-
ties had voted at the last election as the
southern counties did--that is, if they
had made the same ratio Of gains on the
vote of 18S8-Pond instead of Markham
would now be governor of this state, as
Los Angeles delegate very properly re-
marked. 1t is significant fact that
California has never had United
States senator south of Menlo PARK.
Senator FELTON, was the first instance of
a senator selected south of San Fran
cisco. At the rate things are working
south we might look for such an official
in the southern counties hundred
years from now. These things may be
regarded by some persons as trifles, but
they are in fact fragrant injustices-
wrongs in which insult is added to in
jury. A state OF South California is the
only remedy for a sectional jealousy and
discrimination that are simply intolera-
BILE. The Los Angeles delegates did
well to withdraw. We can get along
very we'll with the old-fashioned Demo.
cratic primaries and local clubs. Mean
while, if half the Democracy of San
Francisco will quit selling out to the
Republicans we shall be content.

Theology is always as much pro-

the wisest, purest, most intellectual,
most healthy scholars in Christendom
today were to formulate creed out of
the New Testament scriptures, as they
are known today, that theology state
ment could not remain the same to the

From the nature Of the situation,
although the Government is one
of parties, the politics of many IN
telligent citizens are necessarily
largely personal. The great body
Of independents are tariff reform
ers, civil service reformers and op-
ponents Of free silver coinage, and
MS MIR. Cleveland represents their
views upon those subjects, we pre-
sumo that they will generally sup
port him. Beyond his party he is
strong in the respect and conh-
dence Of thousands who are not
democrats. That pahs democrats,
especially in New York, viii refuse
to support him is very possible.
But the absence Of their votes will
be very much more than set off by
thousands of independent votes
which, under the circumstances
would have been cast for no other
democratic candidate. Whether
Mr.. Cleveland or Mr.. Harrison
can carry New York is a purely
speculative question. There viii
be no trading, as there was in 1888
and the dcmoratic opposition t.
Mr. Cleveland in New York is no
one of principle, and is not there
fore very likely to be general,
persistent. For the rest it is
happy fortune that voters who hol,
| Mr.. Cleveland's views have in hin
a candidate altogether acceptable
! Civil service reformers who wer
displeased by his failure to satisf,
their anticipations after his elec
ton in 1884, and who therefor
protested by voting for Harriso
in 1888, will be now likely to recor,
still more emphatic protest b

reason to be dissatisfied with Nj

platform, in obedience to the de-
mand Of expediency. He was the

ST. faui GLOBE,
There are a few who do not be-
lieve that the men who have served
the country in the field in time of
war should not be generously cared
for by the government. Homes
should be provided for the aged
and infrm, and adequate pensions
given all whose circumstances re-
quire it. The meager pay given
them while in the army is no rec
ompense for the hardships and
perils Of active warfare. 1t de
grades and belittles their sacrifices
and heroism when an attempt is
made to measure them in hard
coin or stamped paper. Their
recompense is found in the con-
seriousness that they had the cour-
age and devotion of true patriotism,
and the gratitude of the nation
they have SO nobly served. They
should not be regarded as merce-
naries, whose accounts can be
squared by paying them money
Great numbers of them are treat
ed niggardly, and with their adj
vancing age and breaking physica-
strength are not properly aided by
the pittance of a few dollars {

rolls, have ample means, and NJ
more occasion for pensions thar

Both parties have this year
shown unusual candor in saying
what they mean in their platforms.
This leaves the voters to choose
between them with their eyes open.
The republicans stand by the Nc
Kinley tariff and pledge themselves
to the policy in which it had its
birth-the policy Of prohibitive
taxes upon commerce, of the en-
ployment of the taxing power to
enrich the few at the expense of
the many, the policy of Billion
Dollarism with all that it implies.
The democrats fatty denounce the
Mckinley kind of protection as
fraudulent. They oppose them
selves'openly to the orgy of extrav-
agance. They insist that the tax
ing power shall be used only to
such extent as Is necessary to raise
the revenues needed for the gov
ernment economically admins

their purpose to enact force bill
and put the states under supervis-
ion of horde of Johnny" Daven
