THEY TAKE LIFE EASY.
FIVE SUPERIOR JUDGES ENJOYING
LIFE AT THE SEASIDE.
All Business of tho Courts Transacted
by One Judge - Reasons why at
Least Three Superior Courts
Ought to be Abolished.

1t is an outrage upon the taxpayars o
this county that they should be forced
to maintain six superior judges and
their expensive attendants, when three
would be ample to handle all the litiga
tion hereabouts. Even then the three
judges would have time to spare.
This, though, is another phase of ex.
travagant expenditure-making six su.
perior judges-forced on to the people
of this county by the Republican party.
At least three of these courts should be
abolished, and to that extent would the
burdens of the people be relieved. 1t
will require an act of the legislature,
but it can and must be done.
Now, take last week. OF the six su-
perior judges only one showed his face
within the sacred precincts of the court
house. While the taxpayer was sweating
in the hot sun earning the money to pay
his proportion Of the cost of running six
superior courts, the judges of five courts
were inhaling cooling breezes at noun
tain or seaside resorts. The judges
$1,000 per year salary ran right along,
he enjoyed life and rightly arrived at the
conclusion that he was the salt OF the
earth. 3e
All of the business of the superior
courts of this county last week was
transacted in department one. It was
mighty little and of a questionable quail
ity at that. About the hardest as we'll
as the most important work that Judge
Smith transacted last week was to undo
piece of perjury and to shut off an in
vestigation as to how and by whom the
records of this county were changed, al
tered and mutilated in the clerks office.
This, outside of continuing few cases
and hearing divorce case lasting ten
minutes, constituted his labors Of six
days. ALI of the other courts were
closed.
It costs to conduct superior court in
this county, and no mistake. To begin
with, there is the judges salary. 1t is
a trife like $1,000. Then there is clerk
at $500 year, deputy sheriff at
$500 more, and minor expenses, which
will bring the total to 10000.
As has been before stated, three su-
perior courts can and ought to be abol-
ished. This would reduce expenses
$1,000 per year. A superior judge is
elected for six years, and if things are
permitted to run as they are now In one
judges term, the county will be out
$3.50 900, for which no adequate return
will have been received.
By all means, let the next legislature
abolish three superior courts.

POLITICAL NOTES.
Mr.. Frank e. Lopez is being urged for
the Republican nomination for county
auditor. He has served very acceptably
for four years as city auditor, and his
friends think that he should now go up
higher.
A. B. Conrad, well known young Re-
publican, is being enereetically pushed
by his friends and by himself as we'll,
for the Republican nomination for
county auditor. 1t ia asserted that Mr..
Conrad has every qualification for the
post.
Ex. Councilman r. E. Wirsching, of
Boyle Heights, would very much like to
have the Republican nomination for
supervisor in his district. He is maxi
ing strong canvass and his prospects
of capturing the honor are bright.
A. P. Richardson, one of the trusted
employees of the cable railway, and q
resident of Boyle Heights, wants the
Democratic nomination for constable.
The cable and electric boys are making
his fight for him.
T. J. Weldon is now a promising can
didate for the Republican nomination
fer county treasurer. Mr.. Weldon has
been long and favorably known in this
community and if he can break the
present ring that handles the county
money, inlthe event of his nomination
and election, he will be entitled to the
thanks of a long suffering public.
1t would not be bad idea if in the
future the meetings of the Democratic
City Central committee were conducted
in an orderly, business-like manner.
The French-Swiss citizens will meet
this evening at 1151a South Spring
street to organize Democratic club.
Many Republicans earnestly resent
the interference of the San Francisco
bosses. Crimmins and Kelly. in the
legislative nominations from this county.

The Factory Having q Very Profitable
Season. F
Up to q. M, on Saturday morning,
the Chino beat sugar factory had turned
out this year 2,S70, ,059 pounds of sugar.
OF this quantity, 51S,0O0 pounds was
from syrups of 1891, and the balance
was from this years beet crop--2 ,352,-
059 pounds.
About one-half of the entire quantity
is mascrete or crude sugar, which will
run between 80 and 80 per cent sugar.
Upon this the government pays IL
cents per pound bounty.
The other one-half is raw sugar, that
has gone through q centrifugal ma
chine. Upon this the government
bounty is two cents per pound.
From present indications this years
beet crop will amount to about 80, 600
TONS. For every ton the grower will re-
ceive on an average $450. This year
1000 acres have been planted to sugar
beets, as against 2700 acres last year.
This year the beats run about fifteen
per cent sugar, as against thirteen per
cent last year. Some of the beets will
run as high as twenty anG twenty-one

Local Chinese Much Interested in the
New Orleans Arrival.
Yesterday afternoon Special Treasury
Agent Lynch, of New Orleans, started
for San Francisco with Woo Lee, the
Chinaman who is to be sent back to
China. Shortly after he arrived Satur-
day, and lodged his prisoner in the city
Jail for safe keeping until the next train,
several Cinnamon called at the station
and endeavored to obtain an interview
with their countryman. They exhibited
much curiosity about him, and were
eager to know where he was from, and
why he was in jail. They were finally
informed they could see him Monday,
if he was still here, and departed very
much wrought up over the matter.
In conversation with HERALD re-
porter, Mr.. Lynch said that Woo Lee
was captured at New Orleans while
travelling upon another Chinaman's GER
tifcate. The certificate he held called
for merchant, middle-aged and stout,
while Woo Lee was young and slender.
Mr.. Lynch said they have considers
BILE trouble at New Orleans at present
with Cinnamon, who are entering the
country illegally. They have developed
into system new method for evading
the restriction act. The Cinnamon ship
at Chinese ports for Cuba, and come via
the United States. They are taken
right through the country, ostensibly
to reach the destination called for by
their certificates, but when they reach
New Orleans they manage, in some
manner, to disappear and 60 to various
parts of the United States, no doubt
many of them coming back to the Pacific
coast. m
The Chinese labor problem is not q
factor of much moment in New Orleans,
but government officials recently have
been kept on the jump to break up this
system, which the Chinese are getting
down to fine point, Of evading the
