AN OBTUSE AND HELPLESS C0NTEM-
PORARY.

The logical faculty of our esteemed
contemporary, the Express, would
scarcely satisfy the requirements of the
master of back woods school. 1t is the
fashion of the Republican party in the
country at large to ascribe good crop
year in Europe to the fact that Benja-
min Harrison is in the White House.
The growing grasses and the waving
grains all flow from Republican govern.
ment. In its vain attempts to deaden
the force of the HERALD's irresistible
arraignment of Republican extrava-
gance, the Express points to the fact
that Los Angeles, wealthy and pro-
gressive city of seventy Thousand inhab-
itants, has better public buildings than
existed here when that city was a
'dob;e town of from six to ten thousand
souls. We have not yet learned that
any Democratic taxpayer has failed to
pay his proportion of the money that
went to erect these buildings, or that
he will be released from paying his pro-
portion of the bonds that are outstand-
ing and will have to be met some day.
1t is not question as to whether we
have or ought to have good public
buildings, but as to how much money
has been thrown away under pretence
of providing the city and county
with proper facilities for the trans
action of their business. The
real issue is, how much has been
stolen or lavished on political fsvorites
The court house is crammed with fur
niture, provided by corporation of
which Governor Markham is president,
which could have been bought of good
quality for less than one-half the money.
The furnishing of that building has
been made to cost the taxpayers $100. 900
when $40, 900 would have been ample to
furnish it from turret to foundation
stone. The clock that failed to run was
eupplied, as the result of scandalous
job. while that which is to replace it, is
the outcome of another job. One hum
dred Thousand dollars has been charged
the taxpayers for the INDECENT poor,
while less than $50, 900 of that sum has
been applied to public charities, whose
accounts can be scrutinized. Scandal
has been piled upon scandal, like a

CHICAGO has already begun to "cinch"

CHICAGO has already begun to "cinch"
visitors, by raising the prices on them.
This is bad lookout for those who in
tend to attend the worlds fair. If the
windy city boniiaces and venders com.
mence the game of fleeing visitors at
this early day, what will they do when
Chicago is overcrowded with people from
all parts of the world? The strangers
within her gates will be ''taken in"
sure enough. Surely the people of the
United States have been liberal enough
to Chicago in this Columbian fair matter
to be entitled to fair treatment when
they go to their city to zee the wonderful
exhibition. The buzz of complaint
which is now in its first mutterings
ought to be needed, and those citizens
OF Chicago who believe in fair dealing
and honestly kept promises, ought to
get together and adopt efficacious meas-
ures to prevent their greedy fellow-citi-
zens from bringing disgrace and merited
reproach upon their city.

Pelion heaped upon Ossa. and all that
the Express can reply to arraignments
of such gravity is that some easternsrs
have been known to admire the archi-
lecture Of the new city hall and of the
court house And this passes for argu-
ment with our esteemed contemporary |
In the name Of the prophet, fgaI Bill
Tweed gave the people of New York
City beautiful new city hall, but he
was put in the penitentiary because its
real price was only s4,0O0.0O0. while he
charged the people $13 ,00O. 900 for it, he
and his pals pocketing the $9,0O0,0 900.

We are pleased to learn, from an
authoritative source, that the co-opera-
tive beet sugar factory at Anaheim is an
assured success. As condition prece.
dent to advancing the capital needed,
three thousand acres of land were re-
quired to be pledged to the enterprise.
This acreage has been already exceeded,
and the stock is now at a premium.
Persons who originally proffered only
ten acres have increased their offerings
to twenty, those who offered twenty to
forty, and 60 on. Mr.. Richard Gird, of
the Chino ranch, has taken large
block of the stock, as has Mr.. Dyer, of
the Alvarado beet sugar factory. The

Secretary Foster, in his letter to the
President of the Senate of April 9th,
pays the navy high compliment when
he states, in referring to the transfer
Of the revenue marine. that the expense
of keeping revenue cutters in repair
must remain nearly the same under
either department" Revenue cutters
are now repaired at private yards,
under the immediate supervision of
the officers, and the work is done ec-
onomically and 1expeditiously. At a
navy-yard the very reverse is the case.
There the greater time consumed and
the increased cost Of everything would
add about 80 per cent, to the expense
of repairs. Everybody remembers how
the Boston nearly completed two
years cruise at New York yard, and
during the strain of the late CHILEAN
affair the Navy Department almost
despaired, at one time, of getting the
Miantonomoh out of the Wallabout.
If the transfer is to be made it should
be done with an intelligent appreciation
Of the facts and the very large allow

yate yards. is one of them. This

Silver Dick Bland gloomily prognos-

is likely to lose the States of North

when the possibilities of Force bill

The triumph of mob law in Nash

the qualification of a momentary cry
for vengeance at cost which may yet
prove to be incalculable. 1t sounds
like idle casuistry to say to people
frenzied by sense of cruel wrong that
the subversal of CIVIL law means not
rude, barbaric justice, but anarchy.
Yet this is solemn truth which the

Some statistics given by Arthur Maginnls
in the Detroit Free Press on the ships.

are Of great interest. In a ship like the

sailing, engine and passenger departments
the large number Of % hands are required

IT. the third. The wages paid to these
hands amount to, say $500 for the sail

Of $3.50 a month. When these figures are
considered. together with the other items
Of maintaining Ctice expenses, insurance,

at stake in the working and management

Mr.. Maginnis holds strongly 10 the belief
that when these vast figures are considered,
together with other equally extensive re-
quirements, the chimerical nature Of some
OF the schemes proposed from time TO time
for forming new lines which promise three
and four days passage across the Atlantic
can easily be discerned. He regards them
as overwhelming proof that insurmountable
difficulties are in the way Of any company

can create all at once a service more luxu-
rious. and having higher speed, than that

A Holy Land Railway.

A strange and most remarkable cere-
mony. blending the ancient wclld and the
modern, was that which took place re-
Gently at Jerusalem. 1t was the formal
opening of the railroad which has been
built by a French company between
Jaffa-the ancient Joppa-and Jerusalem.
For several years the railway had been
In active construction; for although the
distance from Jerusalem to the shore OF
the Mediterranean at Jaffa is but thirty
two miles in a straight line, an ascent OF
two thousand six hundred feet must be
made. and engineering works Of some
difficulty were necessary.
The day of the opening Of the railroad
was one OF great excitement in Jerusa-
lem. Nearly all the population of the
Holy CITY was crowded about the station
or lined the track. Arabs, naive Syr!ans,
Turks. Franks and Jews were gathered
together, dressed in costumes of all forms
and colors, and making a most pictur-
esque assembly. The Jews were in q mi
nority. and they had the humiliation,
now very familiar to them, of seeing the
honors of the ceremony entirely in the
hands of the masters Of thar ancient
capital, the Turks.
The station was almost completely COW
cred with Turkish and French flags.
Turkish soldiers. cavalry and infantry,
were drawn up In line. Military bands
were playing.
Upon the track stood a passenger train
with locomotive attached and ready TO
start. Engine and cars were decorated
With flags and palm branches. Upon an
elevated platform there stood a photo
grapher with his camera. taking pictures
OF the scene.
Al 10 o'clock the great functionaries Of
the occasion arrived. They were the spe-
cial delegate OF the Sultan Of Turkey,
the governors of Jerusalem and of Jaffa,
several minor officials, and an imaum, or
Mussulman priest, wearing a green tur-
ban. The bands played, and the military
presented arms.
Then came a ceremony which for a mo-
ment seemed 30 take the whole scene
back 10 Bible times. Three horned rams,
two OF them white and one black, their
horns gilded, were led out upon the track
90 be sacriheced. The imaum descended
20 the track, and the officials gathered
about him. Then, after offering q prayer
In a high voice, the imaum bent over
the animals. which were held upon the
track; the bands began to play, and the
multitude TO shout; and the threats OF
the sheep were cut.
When their blood had flowed over the
rails their bodies were removed. Tha
onlcials entered the.tl ain, the people step
pee aside, the signal was given. and the
Train moved out OF the station, passing
over the rails wet with the blood of the
sacrificed animals.
AMID the hring OF cannon, the train
went On Its way to Bitir, which is the Grst
statioi, out Of Jerusalem.
