Ing hour Mr.. Caruth endeavored to have,
bill passed for the relief OF Louisville
and Logan, Hardin and Hart counties,
Kentucky, and Simpson and Davidson
counties, Tennessee, which provides for
the return Of taxes illegally collected,
as assessed by the United States upon
railroad stock owned by the corpora
tions, but no quorum developed. It
came to the front under order Of tellers,
and the bill was passed.
Mr.. Sayers made the conference report
on the urgent deficiency bill for the
year ending June 80, 1882, which was
agreed to. Mr.. Sayers explained that
the increased amount carried by the bill
over the amount contained as Ii passed
the house and the senate was due to
the necessity for providing for court ex-
penses.
Mr.. Beltzhoover called for the regular
order, but Mr.. Watson. OF Georgia,
asked him to temporarily withdraw th.
demand. Mr.. Beltxhoover said he had
made demand for the regular order In or
der that the necessary Legislation may be
enacted 20 Is to permit adjournment by
Aug. 1. and he should continue to de-
mand the regular order.
Mr.. Watson gave notice then that the

THE NEW YRAR'S HERALD.

This is Democratic year, and 1t 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-
haustiye resume OF the events OF
the past year, and will be scat
tered broadcast over tie United
States. No doubt cur patrons will, as in
the past, extend a 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 its advertising columns will
tell of the development of business in
our midst. The merchants and busl-
ness men of the city will be interviewed
by our solicitors, and we are confident
that they will respond literally. III
will simply be bread cast upon the
waters, which will return before the
lapse OF many dayf.

THE CITIZENS NoN-PARTIZAN REFORM
ASSOCIATION.

The meeting of the Citizens Nom
Partizan Reform association, which was
held at Turnverein hall last night, is
the Inauguration OF very salutary
movement. There is something posi-
lively intimidating in the reckless way
in which both our city and county affairs
are being handled. There has been q
prodigality in expenditures that is un-
usual even in the oldest centers of job
berry. Highly paid supernumeraries
have filed both the city and county
Offices. The aim appears to have been
to experiment with view to determine
how much anything undertaken in the
name of the people could be made to
cost. No idea of economy or RESPONSE
bility seems to have occurred to the
great majority of public servltors. We
are not speaking at random, but strictly
by the card. Facts were developed
at Turnverein hall last night
that are we'll calculated to
set the taxpayers to thinking. 1t cost
us last year $780, 900 to make the assess
ments for the city and county of Los
Angeles. That this sum is amazingly
exor bitant is shown by the fact that
exactly the same service cost the people
OF Alameda county only $l5, 900, although
there is q difference of $4,000 900 in
the assessments of the two counties, the
Bay county leading US that amount.
Notwithstanding this fact, our luxurious
officials make it cost our taxpayers
$4,000 more than the taxpayers of Ala
media county have been obliged to pay.
The same rule holds good in many other
lines. The abuse is intolerable, and it
is high time that property owners
should awake to the necessity Of pro-
tecting themselves.
The report which was read in, and
adopted by, the meeting last night, con-
templates county and city government
with one set of officials for both. This
is especially aimed at in the assessment
and collection OF the taxes. To assess
and collect the taxes OF Los Angeles city
and county costs in the neighbour ood OF
$4,000. It sounds incredible but it is
true. The gentlemen who have sketched
out plan of reform and retrenchment
calculate that, by the consolidation of
the offices of city and county assessor
and city and county tax collector, cav
ing OF $50,0 nay be effected to the tax

folly of sending pupils to Italy for musi-
cal training, instead of patronizing
American conservatories. He said:
There are a great many charlatans in
our cities, but | have seen more charla-
tanism and deception practiced in Milan
in one month than there is practiced in
America in five years"
The speaker then enumerated the
leading artists of the world, giving their
nativity, and proving conclusively that
fewer of them are natives OF Italy than
is popularity supposed.
After the conclusion OF his very enter
tanning and instructive lecture Mr..
Reeves favored the audience with two
songs, as illustrative of bis method of
instruction. He WAS loudly applauded
at the conclusion OF each number.
Mr.. Reeves has been lifelong stu
dent of the art of music. He has de-
voted much of his time to the instruc-
ton of choir music, and for many years
was the leader of music in the Brooklyn
cathedral and is known as the renowned
"boy soprano" of St. Paul's cathedral,
London.
Mr.. Reeves would be great acquisi-
ton to the musical circles of Los Ange-
les, and it is sincerely hoped by the art
loving public that he will be induced to
remain in the city.

THE esteemed Times has much to say

THE esteemed Times has much to say
concerning Mr.. Cleveland's recent
ments, and ascribes the peculiar treat
ment which Speaker Crisp received at
the banquet of the Reform club to the
president-elect's initiatige. This is all
of his political life since he first knew
Mr.. Cleveland in which the speaker was
not on friendly terms with the Sage OF
Gray Gables. The ideas OF both are in
unison on the tariff and other leading
issues. Mr.. Crisp ia q specially genial
and agreeable gentleman, and the pro-
liability is that he is personal favorite
with Mr. Cleveland, who generally likes
that style Of man. The explanation OF
the incident given by Boutke Cochran
in our telegraphic dispatches seems t,
cover the situation perfectly. 1t ap-
pears to give some of our Republican
friends great delight to hold the
incoming president up as the
most implacabie OF men, and as
disposed to visit vengeance on
the heads of any Democrats who
may have honestly thought it more ex-
pedient to nominate some other distin-
guished Democrat for president at Chi
cago. No men worked more enthusias-
ticaIly for Mr.. Cleveland's success at the
polls than those same honestly mis-
guided and miejudging Democrats. Mr..
Crisp may or may not have been one of
the number. In fact, we do not remem-
ber whether he was or no. But this we

THE directors of tt worlds fair are
considering the proposition OF inviting
Gladstone to open the exposition. That
indeed would te thing 10 see, and may
we be there to see it! The "grand old
man" would draw like house atire.
Whether Mre. Gladstone would look
favorably upon her sprightly husband o.
eighty-four Or five taking such long
journey may be questioned. Still, the
invitation would be a graceful conpli-
ment which would doubtle's be apprs-
ciated by Engllnd's "sweet William"
Los Angeles herald., 1892-12-12

THE attempt to make a mountain out
OF a mole hill in the Crisp affair is ride
ulous. The dinner Of the Reform club
was doubtless good, plenty of excellent
speechmaking signalized the affair, and
Mr.. Crisp had not been announced for a
speech. AS the club ia not partizan
organization there WAS no slight to the
speaker in his not being put down for
talk. The effort to construe the incident
as an intentional slight to Mr.. Crisp is
not warranted, and the ssumotion that
Mr.. Cleveland had anything to do with
it ie too far-fetched for serious consider
alton. 1t was trifie awkward that Mr..
Crisp had, to get rid of their importuni-
ties probably, given the Associated Press
a very brief synopsis of what he in
tended to say if called upon, but such a
little contretemps is liable to happen at
any time. and has no special signifi-
canoe. Mr.. Crisp has treated the incl
dent with becoming dignity.

THERE are Christmas gifts and Christ
mas gifts. Mr.. Phil Armour knows how
to Go gracious thing when the humor
is on him. Just before leaving for Eu-
rope yesterday he gave the city of Chi
cago million and half of dollars to
build and endow a magnificent manual
training school on the plan of the Drexel
institute at Philadelphia. He has had
this generous deed in contemplation for
a year, but had kept the matter all to
himself. Well, Phil, here's loo king at
you! No Jay Gould about you.

ANY citizen OF Southern California n no

Lynch no doubt wishes it understood
that lhe gentleman OF that name who Is
spoken of as one OF the opponents OF
Hon. s. M. White for election to the
United States senate is ex-State SEN
ator jeremiah Lynch of San Franc SEQ,
whose friends think he is in the race,
but who will be undeoeiged on the meet
ing OF the legislature, if not before.
Down here everybody is in favor of 'our
Steve" except the Republican members
of the legislature, and even they would
like to see him win, although party
usage will doubtless cause them to vote
for the nominee Of the Republican
caucus

payers. This is certainly desideratum
most ardently to be desired. There are
some dfficalties in the way, but the law
committee are of the opinion that a bill
can be prepared covering the points
aimed at, and that, If necessary, a con-
etitutional amendment may be carried
embracing the reforms which they have
sketched out.
The gentlemen interested in the move
ment have placed them selves as on
record against county division and have
directed vigorous blast against the
county of Pomona in particular.
Whether they can arrest manifest deH.
tiny in this line is question which
time alone can determine. They make
an energetic demand that, in all cases
where it is attempted to carve new
county out of Los Angeles. a vote
should be taken of all the people en-
braced in the old county limits. 1t is
not improbable that this view may COM
mend itself to the legislature.
The association is, as its name i'm
plies, absolutely n-partizan. Its scope
ia strictly limited to local affairs. It
therefore in no respect compromises q
mans political affiliations. Its mem
bership is already quite large and en-
braces some OF the heaviest taxpayers
in the city and county. 1t hiss been
happy in it's choice OF officers, and its
outcome cannot fail to be highly benef-
cial to the community.
The HERALD tenders hearty well
come to the Citizens Non-Partizan asso-
citation and we stand in heartily with
the main purposes OF its propaganda.

THE SENATORIAL. SITUATION IN A
" NUTSHELL.

The senatorial situation has sdbstan-
TALLY crystaliized and the outcome of the
controversy from Democratic point Of
view may be briefly stated. The iegis-
lature will assemble and the Democrats,
pursuant to usage, will hold caucus,
which, with an overwhelming majority,
will proceed to declare its preference for
Hon. S. VI. White. 1t will not be any
milk and water preferences, but a Jug
handled style OF thing. "Our Steve"
will, like Eclipse, be first and the rest
nowhere. From all sections of the state
the Democratic acclaim for Whites cleo
ton reaches US. 1t finds expression in
the press, from representative Demo-
Gratis and from the men who will sit in
the senate and assembly. In obedience
to this practical unanimity, the legisla-
ture will ratify the action of the Demo
cratic caucus by the immediate cleo
ton OF Southern California's favor
ite son. Should this programme not
be carried out strictly to the letter, as
the HERALD has outlined it, the greatest
storm ever known in the politics OF this
state will burst forth, and let no man de-
ceive himself with the idea that its fury
will be confined to Southern California.
It will rage with violence all over the
state, "from Siskiyou to San Diego, from
the Sierras to the sea-" There is not d
tinge of exaggeration about this etate-
ment, and the fact that it will be 30 fol-
lows not so much from the special and
conceded fitness of Mr.. White for the
position as from the belief that, ii de-
feated, the will of the people will have
such speculations are purely supereroga-
tory. There ia no such word as fail in Mr..
Whites lexicon, in this issue. He will
receive the endorsement OF the Demo.
cratic caucus; he will receive the vote
of every Democratic member of both
houses, and to them will be
added those OF the Populist mem
bers, or all signs will fail. Hon.
]. Marion Cannon will be heard from
shortly in earshot OF Sacramento, and it
is no secret that he is uncompromising
for White. Take it for all in all, we
never saw senatorial fight that looked
more encouraging than that of Stephen
Nj. White today. Every Democratic pa
per in California, with four exceptions,
is for him, and not only for him but
working like Trojena to make his vic
tory certain. Against this impressive
array the only journals of any note
which are opposed to his candidacy are
the San Francisco Examiner and Oak
land Times. Those who recall the Incl
dents of the San Jose convention will
remember that our metropolitan con
temporary was not particularly success
ful III it's opp position to White OH that
occasion.
A number OF the advocates of Mr..
Foote seem to think that the friends of
Mr.. White claim that he has mortgage
on the senatorship. Well, we must con-
fess that it really looks a little that way.
1t might be described RS dead ''cinch," +"
40 to speak, and it has all grown out of
an uncomfortable popular preference
for cur townsman. There need be no
doubt, either IN Oakland or in San Fran
cisco, but that the mortgage will be
foreclosed early in January, and it will
embrace the claims both of man and a
section, with compound interest.

do know, and that is that those who put
Mr.. Cleveland up as an official liable to
discriminate against man on account
of an honest difference OF opinion, do
not know him, and are ignorant OF the
large-sized streak of good nature and
magnanimity that graces his character.
Meanwhile, the rudenees of Mr.. Ellery
Anderson in putting slight upon the
speaker OF the house of representatives
seems to have increased that gentle
mans chances for reelection.
