In Four Seattle Cases, Including That
of Widow Mclaughlin.


OLYMPIA, April 30.-[Special. lin the
supreme court the judgment in the case Of
Minnie NJ. Kelly. respondent, VS.. the West
Seattle Land and Improvement Company,
appellant, was reversed. The appellant,
before the fling of plat of certain real es-
tate, stated to the respondent that it
would dedicate a portion for park pur-
poses. 1t failed to do this, but the plain
tiff. who purchased lots after the filing of
the plat, is held not to be entitled to
damages.
A reversal was ordered in the case of
Roseline Amy Lewis, respondent, VS.. the
Puget Sound Shore Railway Company,
from King county, an action for damsges
for the killing of Elijah J. Lewis, the
court holding that owing to the contribu-
tory negligence of the deceased the judg-
ment cannot be sustained. A non-suit is
ordered.
The judgment was affirmed in the Skagit
county case of Prignon vs. Dausat and
wife. The action was brought to set aside
a conveyance by Dausat to his wife before
marriage as consideration for such mar
riage. The court sustains the conveyance.
In the certiorari proceedings of the
state, ex rel Bertha Mclaughlin, VS.. l. J.
Lichtenberg, judge of the superior court
of King county, the court sets aside an
order of Judge Lichtenberg directing the
payment of $50 per month to Ruth A.
Mclaughlin pending an appeal from a de-
cision of the superior court that said Ruth
is the widow of Hiram C. Mclaughlin,
deceased.
The court decided in the case of McCon-
nell and 7. Harrington, respondents, VS..
Kaufman, appellant. from King county,
that notice of appeal which states that
an appeal will be taken but does not add
the words, ''to the supreme court" is
sufficient. as there is no other court to
which an appeal can be taken from a
superior court

At an early hour this morning fire was dis
covered in the Hill block, but was extin-
gu ished before and damage was done. The
premises bear unmistakable evidence of
an attempt at incendiarism. The elevator
shaft. where a candle had been lowered by
rope into pile of rubbish, was saturated
with kerosene. 1t was plain that an at
tempt had been made to burn the prem

individual, there is no proof against any

pastor of the American church at st.
Petersburg, passed through today en-

fearful ravages in Russia, and unless

the United States. is rapidly growing
heavier. The augmentation Is attributed
not only to agricultural depression, but to
general fear that war with Russia is in

OUR esteemed contemporary, the
Times. complains that we mix our met
aphors. We deny the allegation and
defy the alligator, in the language of
the late lamented John Covode. Ad-
mitting the charge to be true, how
ever, it can scarcely be claimed
that we have mixed up our
metaphors as much as the Times
has mixed itself up on the water ques-
tion. Such tangle as an accomplished
artist in the boodling line has got that
journal into would beat the jangle into
which Sir Boyle Roche wrought himself
into on the question OF posterity. The
Times is exactly in Sir Boyle's shoes on
the water question. Its every attitude
and break is on the line OF ignoring both
the present and posterity, and particu-
larly posterity, in it's scheme to bind
the people OF Los Angeles for fifty years
to come. 4Posterity, posterity," said
Sir Boyle Roche, land what should we
care for posterity? 1 may ask, Mr..
Speaker, what has posterity done for
us?" 1t seems to us that there is a
very general disposition hereabouts to
surrender both posterity and the present
to any diaphanous demand, backed by
"Yours Truly.'

OyEz, oyez, all You good people who
want to rob the people OF Los Angeles,
come right into court and pursue your
business of spoliation. There has been
60 little said of late about Markham and
his partners robbins the people in fur
nishing the court house that even Aaron
Smiths claim has been again warmed
into life. That oleaginous Individual
will probably get certificate from
Markham that they were not to go
snacks. Everything goes nowadays ex-
cept colossal swindes, which will be met
by general insurrection. On reconsid-
Grafton, we do not believe that this
Smith swindle, with possible lions
share commissions accruing to the gov
ernor of the state, will go through.

The appropriation committee sof the
house has reduced the total of the APP
preparation for pensions from $l47, ,0OO,-
600 last year to $l35, ,000,0 900 for the next
fiscal year. The commissioner of pen
sions estimated that it would require
$I6O, 600, 600 to meet the claims on his
department for the next fiscal year, but
the appropriation committee have cut it
down $25, 100000 When we send out
our sympathy to Europe for the op-
pressive burdens the people there have
to bear to maintain their immense
standing armies, we might look nearer
home for people to commiserate. Ger
many spent in 1S90-91 for it's active
army OF half million and its enormous
reserve, pensions, retired pay, ETC., $94,-
900, 900 all told. France, with still larger
army, spent $l1O,0O0,OOO. Yet, if we
add to the estimate OF the pension
commissioner the cost of the regular
army of the United States, we have
gross sum that comes within $12 900, 900
of the total amount spent by both
France and Germany for the support of
their armies, for their pension lists and
Tor their retired pay No wonder there
is movement amongst the veterans of
the country to reform the abuses that
are made in the name OF the deserving
soldiers of the republic.

ONE A. B. Gould, who says he came to
Southern California to get out of the
winter weather of Omaha and escape
sfrom che regulation blizzard that sweeps
Ghrough the northwest destroying every
thing but grasshopper germs, has given
vent to his tale of woe in the Omaha
Tribune. He offsets the forty degrees
below zero of Nebraska with the slight
frost experienced in some parts OF this
section in January; and wants the se-
we're blow that swept over our foothills
shout the same time to place us on
par with the blizzard states. But it
will not. A frost that comes
once in tour or five years, and a wind
Hquall that blows down few Embraced
buildings on occasions separated by wide
intervals OF time, will not be accepted
as an Offset to the terrible rigors of Ne

tinue to shiver in his chosen home, but
Southern California will continue to be
the Mecca of easterners who wish to
pass their winters amid sunshine and
flowers. Our city hotels and seaside re-

MONSIEUR ToNsoN COME AGAIN.

The Republican ring of Los Angeles
county has again become insolent.
Taxpayers will remember how the HER
AID prevented the Aaron Smith steal Of
5000. There has been momentary
cessation in this fraud, and it now re-
appears in the shape of a demand for
$500. It is generally understood that
Governor Markham placed the bonds in
question, and that Aaron Smith was
Bimply a go-between, who could be made
useful in collecting the commissions.
Whether division should result else
where. and in what proportion, deponent
sayeth not. Every one knows that
Aaron's connection with county bonds
would injure them at least % per
cent. in any conceivable negotiation.
District Attorney McLachlan suggests
that this whole question should be made
the subject of judicial determination.
And 30 say we all. And every taxpayer
will heartily hope that it will not stop
short of the tribunal of final resort, in
which, should the people be worsted in
the lower court. shame will ultimately
compel righteous decision.

THE ILLUSTRATED HERALD.

The sales of this splendid publication
yesterday showed how responsive the
people of Los Angeles are to a really
good thing. 1t is universally conceded
that the present number of this publica-
ton is the most artistic that has ever
emanated from this Office. 1t is the
twelfth of the series. 1t is scarcely too
much to say that the first number OF
the ILLUSTRATED HERALD started the
celebrated Los Angeles "boom." 1t has
stayed by "the works" ever since, and
it requires no prophet to announce that
this region is but in the initial of its de-
velopment. Southern California is
great, and the ILLUSTRATED HERALD is
it's prophet. 1t is already speeding to
the four corners of the earth on its
banefcent mission of demonstrating
that semi.tropical California is the
true Riviera of the globe.

ELSEWHERE General Hagadorn, New
York politician and journalist of EN-.
inence, suggests that not only should
not the Democracy of the Empire state
be wrapped up in one man, but that it
should not be concentered in two. He
thinks that the Empire state has a
third Richmond, in the person of Gen.
Henry w. Slocum, that would make a
winning candidate. This may or may
not be true. General Slocum's military
record is a splendid one, but we are in
clined to believe that in this year of
grace neither of the great political or
ganizations of the country are hunting
for soldier. In our opinion the eager
quest-the exigent and not to be inter
mitted demands for statesman.
And just here is where David Bennett
Hill will loom into prominence.

their object, as calumny always fails
when directed against public men whose
life and acts are known to all men.
Judge Spencer agrees with Governor
Flower in considering Senator Hill the
most astute, able and successful leader
the Democracy OF New York have had
since the death of President Tilden. He
develops new qualities whenever there
ls an occasion to bring them out, and
shows himself equal to every emergency.
Such criticism from a gentleman OF
Judge Spencer's standing and expert
ence, is complete answer to the dia-
tribes OF the Republicans and their Mug
wump allies.

THE precedent that all appropriation
bills shall come through the committee
on appropriations was broken yesterday
in the house. Holman fought for the
prerogative OF his committee, but was
defeated. The barrier is now down, and
we shall look for flood of appropriation
bills coming before the house as original
legislation, without regard to the action
OF the committee. Holman has perhaps
presumed upon his position as chairman
OF the committee to arbitrarily assert its
privileges to hang up proper and needed
appropriation bills; we may now be
confronted with the other extreme that
may arise from the breaking down of a
wholesome rule to restrain lavish appro-
priations.

Hon. JAMES G. SPENCER, OF New York,
gentlemen of prominence in the DEM
ocratic party, an ex-judge and one Of
the Croton Aqueduct commissioners, is
on visit here with his wife. He drop
ped in on us yesterday and gave us quite
little talk on the subject of New York
politics. He says that New York Dem
ocrats recognize in Senator Hill one of
those party leaders who gain the entire
confidence OF the rank and file and in
whom reposes the prestige of success.
The vilifcation and abuse of the sena-
tor by the Mugwumps and by few
short-sighted and unscrupulous party
friends of Mr.. Cleveland signally fail in
