ANOTHER RAILROAD PROJECT.

The Terminal railroad magnates leave
St. Louis for Los Angeles today. They
are coming in force, two special cars be-
ing required for their transportation.
The fact that Mr.. Kerens will have a
proposition to make to the people of
this city and county regarding,
the building OF railroad from Salt
Lake to connection with the Terminal,
has been published already in the
HERALD. The proposed road in ques-
tion is OF course the most important
project which the people here have to
consider, and that any reasonable pro-
posal from the Terminal people will
meet with enthusiastic support cannot
be doubted.
But another matter is to be settled by
the visiting officials which is of no little
interest to Los Angeles; and that is the
extension OF the Glendale branch of the
Terminal system to Hueneme. This it
is almost certain, will be built. for the lit
tie line to Glendale is already being pre-
pared for the event by being changed
from narrow to standard gauge.
Between Los Angeles and Hueneme
lies one of the most productive grain
countries in the world. In many
sections of it fruits and other
products are extensively grown. Alto
gether it is a remarkably rich portion of
this part of the state, allied in interests,
climate and products tn Southern Cali
fornia.
Means of communication in the region
referred to have heretofore been chiefly
by stages and steamers, and in conse
quence little of its business has come
this way. But a direct railroad will
change all that; only less in practical
results to the people than the Salt Lake
road, will be the building of this line to
! Hueneme.

POLITICAL INDICATIVE sTRAws.

Indicative political straws are being
noted every day. The New York World
polled the legislature of that state re-
Gently and states the result as follows ::
The presidential preferences of the
members of the New York legislature,
as ascertained by World reporters and
telegraphed from Albany, present an in
teresting study in politics. Two-thirds
of all the Democrats favor Senator Hill
and three-fourths of the Republicans
prefer Secretary Blaine. Of the Demo-
Gratis who expressed preference, fifty
three are for Hill and only four for
Cleveland, while twenty.six were nom
committal. President Harrison must
wonder what return he has for his favors
to Platt, when only six Republicans de-
clare for him to fifty for Blaine. Gov
ernor Hill's splendid and successful
fight for the legislature has no doubt
added to his popularity with the Demo
cratic members, and to his prestige
throughout the state.
The World writer should have added
that Senator Hills legislative fight not
only increased his prestige throughout
the state," but throughout the United
States

How Niagara Wa. Formed.

Once upon time there was beauti-
full Indian maiden who was compelled
by her family to engage herself to marry
hideous old man Of her tribe In her
desperation she leaped into canoe and
pushed it over the roaring breakers of
Niagara, preferring the angry waters to
the arms of her detested lover. But the
god of thunder, cloud and rain, who
watches over the harvest, dwelt in a
cave behind the roaring cataract. He
caught her just as her frail bark was
dashing upon the rocks below and gave
her home for many weeks in his own
mysterious cavern.
From him she learned many new
things, among them why her people
died so often. He told her how an
enormous snake lay coiled up under the
ground beneath her village, and how he
crept out and poisoned the springs, be-
cause he craved the flesh Of human be-
ings and could never get enough of it so
long as they died from natural causes.
The maiden remained in the cave until
her ugly old suitor was dead; then she
returned, and the god killed the serpent
with thunderbolt.
The great dead snake was 30 huge that
when the people laid it's body out in
death it stretched over more than
twenty arrow flights, and as it foated
down the waters Of the Niagara it was
as If mountain appeared above them.
Its corpse was too large to pass the
rocks, so it became wedged in between
them and the waters rose over it, thus
fashioning the horseshoe, which remains
to this day. Washington Star.

GARzA continues his business OF COM
bining rapine and revolution on the
Mexican border. The dispatches first
spoke of him az Cara, the bandit; now
it is Cara, the revolutionist; tomorrow
it is liable to be CARA, the dictator, or
CARA the dead man. The revolution
ist, bandit, call him what you like, is a
young man of slender physique, nervous
and fidgety, with dark hair and eyes and
a swarthy complexion. He appeared in
the Office of the Dallas News not many
months ago and entertained the crowd
about him with some very interesting
stories. He appeared to be very mild
hammered individual and seemed to pre-
fer the glances of sefioritas to the sing
ing of bullets. He said not word
about revolution, but Immediately after
leaving Dallas he began the disturbances
that have made him notorious.

A CASE FOR INVESTIGATION.

The report on the conduct of the Whit
tier reform school prepared by Expert
Quinn for the grand jury, and stolen
from the files of that body, though tenn
porarily lost to sight, will be duplicated,
it is hoped in day or two, and then the
public will have an opportunity of judg-
ing of the comparative values of the two
findings which were presented by the
grand jury.
1t appears rather strange that neither
the Judge in whose department the grand
jury belonged nor the district attorney,
nor any other official, has thought it
necessary to cause any investigation into
the theft of the report in question. The
act appears to have been both
contempt of court and larceny
1t is a monstrous and outrageous
fact that such an affront to the courts
and the people is passed over without an
attempt being made to ascertain the
identity Of the guilty party.
It is the custom OF many people to in
dulge in surmises, and there are num-
ber of persons who surmise the power
that actuated the theft of the document,
but surmising does not settle the guilt
on anyone, nor does it carry any puni-
tive effect. If legal records are tampered
with and stolen, it would seem that the
courts should have self-respect enough
to at least make an attempt to punish
the marauder.
Instead of standing from under, the
rascals nowadays seem to stand over
everything in sight.

A New YORK paper truthfully and
amiably remarks that if Mr.. Egan did
succeed in producing war with Chile,
among the very first to come to the as
sistance of their country would be the
ex confederates which calls to mind the
fact that there is an act of congress pro-
hibiting all who come under that desig-
nation from holding commissions in the
army or navy. The law has been for
gotten by the people, and if it was now
under consideration would hardly find
a single advocate.

A COMMUNICATION from Minister to

A COMMUNICATION from Minister to
Mexico Ryan was read in the senate
yesterday, urging the return to Mexico
OF the trophies OF war captured by the
United States troops in the war of 1847,
stating that this would be but gener-
ous and neighborly act on the part Of
our government. Let US see, was it not
the fiery j. Benson Foraker who made
the famous battle-fag order, that,
while he was governor OF Ohio, no
trophies Of war should be returned to
the vanquished enemy? What a pity
that he did not succeed in his candidacy
for seat in the senate How eagerly

JERRY sIMPsoN, the sockless statesman

JERRy SIMPSON, the sockless statesman
of Kansas, wants an investigation into
the department of the government pre-
sided over by Uncle Jerry Rusk. Mr..
Simpson suspects that the department
of agriculture is a harbor for political
heelers, and that information of the
bureau is peddled out to board of trade
operators and market-wreckers before
being furnished to the honest husband
men of the country. 1t is more than
probable chat sockless Jerry is just
about right, and that Farmer Rusk's
Augean stables need cleaning very badly.

strictly observes the spirit and the let

hopes will receive the support of his
Democratic colleagues. The measure
has already received Chairman Spring

II IS one of the penalties of prosperity

IT is one of the penalties of prosperity
that with the influx of the better class
of people there are sure to come also
mony OF the riffraff and rapscallions OF

extraordinary number OF bunco steerers
in the city is not in itself pleasant
fact, but consolation may be found in
the fact these gentry never are found in
