Los Angeles herald., 1892-04-03

Or LATE years March has proved a
very tempestuous month in the east.
The great cyclone of March, 1888, which
killed Roscoe Conkling and multitudes
of others not so distinguished, has not
been forgotten. 1t was fairly rivaled by
the great storm of day before yesterday
in Chicago and adjoining regions, and
in Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and the
northwest generally. 1t is somewhat
surprising that anyone who could get
away would consent to endure the rigors
of such a climate, in which death, as
we'll as destruction of property, are
dealt out SO unsparingly, especially
when, in Southern California, they are
offered an opening for homes with an
accompaniment of perpetual summer.
The occasional little variations which
we have here from weather that is fairly
ecstatic are really scarcely worth taking
into the count, they are so overshad-
owed by the appalling violence of the
equinoctial storms in the east. There
is something very peculiar in the evolu-
tion of the cyclone. At least as respects
the middle states it is phenomenon OF
the last twenty-five years. Such incl
dents as that of day before yesterday
were never heard of until after the war.
No satisfactory theory of their origin
has as yet been developed. By some
persons they are ascribed to the grid
ironing of the continent by the iron and
steel rail. There is some plausibility in
this hypothesis, because it would be
difficult to give an account OF any cy-
clone which happened before the COM
pletion of the Central-Union Pacific
railway in 1867. The first cyclonic de-
velopment we can recall in any of the
middle states occurred in 1872, along the
line of the New York Central railway.
One of the incidents then was the blow
ing of lady distance of quarter of a
mile. That the multiplication of rail-
ways has resulted in pronounced elec-
trical disturbances appears to admit of
no doubt, and, fortunately for us, their
trend is eastward.

THE charter of the Anaheim Cot -Oper.
ative Beet Sugar company has ar
rived, and that enterprise may now be
regarded as fairly launched. The COM
pany represents capital of 100000, OF
which about $350,000 have been SUBJ
scribed by 297 farmers. All the stock
holders have addressed petition to
congress protesting against the passage
of the bill introduced into the house of
representatives by Mr.. Scott OF Illinois,
repeating the sugar bounty section of
the Mckinley bill. They claim that
this is the only law ever placed on our
national statute books directly legislating
in favor of the farmer. They also state
that there are only six sugar beet fac
tories in the United States. and that
that of Anaheim is the first cooperative
organization for the manufacture of
sugar from the beet ever chartered in
this country. 1t is pretty safe to assume
that no Southern Californian would wish
to see the sugar bounty repealed. The
sentiment in this section is that the ex-
pertinent ought to be accorded fair
trial

A Past Race.

Southern California was once the home
of the highest type of the American In
dian. Unlike most tribes Of western In
dians, they were not warlike. They were
industrious and ingenious. Long before
the Spanish conquest thousands of them
inhabited the coast and islands and made
baskets, shell and stone implements. In
the manufacture of these articles they
excelled all the races of the world. These
valuable relics have been unearthed in
the fancheres and burial places. They
did not make pottery. Hence all their
cooking and domestic utensils were made
of stone and woody fibers. All the
burial places have been dug up and have
given up their valuable relics to the col
lector. Los Angeles, now the metropolis
of this once famous Indian country,
ought to have public museum contain
ing all these wonderful and interesting
relics. So far she has done nothing in
that direction. The only place in the
city-in fact in all California-where a
complete collection of these Indian relics
can be scents Campbell's curiosity store,
325 South Spring street. 1t will we'll re.
pay the tourist and scientist to call and
examine this great collection.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY MCLACHLAN has
excited great deal of surprise by the
dismissal of the case of Wong Chez,
charged with being accessory to the
murder of Fong All Lung. In the judg-
ment of most of those who have exam
ined the testimony there was ample evil
dence on which to hold Wong Chez. Dur
ing the course OF his address to the court
in making the motion Mr.. McLachlan
INDUCED in a sort of stump speech, in
which he referred to the pledge he made
to the county convention which nomi-
mated him. Precisely what such politi-
cal pyrotechnics have to do with the
grave routine of court it would puzzle
a Doctor OF the Sorbonne to discover.
Wong Chez has the reputation of being
an all around bad man it is asserted
that there was evidence sufficient to
hang him, and his dismissal unwhipt
of justice cannot fail to have bad
effect in giving sense of security
to Mongolian criminals. rhe testimony
of Tom Bing and others as to his ac-
tual participation in the murder .ap.
pears to be conclusive, and was GER
tainly sufficiently direct to place the
accused upon trial. The public has
been so long treated to the miscarriage
of justice in all Chinese matters that it
has become restive, and is quite dis
posed to regard the action of the dis
trict attorney with a critical eye.
Wong Chez should not have been al
lowed to get off so lightly.

In THE latest elections for delegates to
the Chicago convention the friends of
Mr.. Cleveland have captured quite a
number of delegations. The significance
of these victories is somewhat lessened
by the fact that most of the states in
which the Cleveland forces have tri-
nmphed have uniformly gone Repub-
lican in presidential years. The ex-
president is certainly developing good
deal of strength. There will be great
many favorite sons in the national con-
vention, and no aspirant can hope for
the required two-thirds until several
ballots have been taken, and it is a
pretty safe assumption that Pennsyl-
vanie, Massachusetts,, Wisconsin and
Minnesota will not be permitted to make
the nomination.

EWING VS.. EWING.
The Features of a Divorce Case Yes
terdaY.

The doors of department five of the
superior court were locked yesterday,
and placard theron read: "No admit
tance; private session." Judge Shaw
was engaged nearly all day in hearing
the proceedings in the divorce suit of
Robert S. Ewing, the portrait painter of
this city, against his wife, Annie Ewing.
Some time ago Robert Ewing obtained a
decree of divorce in default, and the
present proceedings, which constitute a
reopening of the case, are based on a
cross-complaint filed by the wife.
Attorney John Haynes app peared for
the plaintiff. The greater portion of
the seats in the room were occupied by
ladies', young and old and handsome
and homely. At the side of the coun-
sels' table sat the husband, while at the
other end was seated the wife. Two
beautiful golden haired children who
would have made ideal models for
Raphael lwere playing on the floor. They
were the progeny OF the unhappy couple
seeking legal separation of their mari
tai ties. The children vibrated between
the father and mother, and now and
then stared at the judge with the open
eyed wonder of children. When the
mother took the witness stand and in
broken accents accused her husband of
cruelty and drunkness, the husband eat
just opposite with his arms around the
children.
All day long the court was occupied
in hearing witnesses, and all day long
the children laughed and played in the
room utterly unconscious of the
drama that was there being enacted.
The main plea of the mother in filing
the cross complaint was to secure the
custody of the children. Mrs. Ewing,
the mother. gave her testimony in a
strange monotone, for she is deaf and
dumb, but has learned how to articn-
late words which she by reason of her
affiiction is unable to hear. She was
the last witness on the stand and had
not finished her story when the court
continued the case until next Tuesday.
The witnesses examined in support of
Mrs. Ewine's cross complaint during
the day were az follows: Charles H.
Stone, A. P Murdick. Patrick O'Reagan,
j. D. Westervelt, Mrs. Emma Went
wo th. F. G. Garbutt, Elizabeth E. SUIT

THE HERALD: SUNDAY APRIL 8. 1892

the MANAGEMENT of H. G. Wyatt & Co.
promises 10 be one of the most unique
events ever presented in this city. Cake
walks are one of the typical institutions
in the south. and are reminiscent OF the
old slavery days. The cake walk re-
Gently given in New York was attended
by Cd. 0OO people, and since that time
thew have been given in all the leading
cities of the east. The New York cake
walk was given under the patronage
of Mrs. Vanderbilt, Mrs. Peran Ste
yens. Mrs. Marshall 0. Roberts, Mrs.
w. B. Astor and other leaders of the
400. In fact, the cake walk is now the
society fad.
Quite a number of leading society
people of Los Angeles, especially among
the southern families, will figure as
patrons of the coming cake walk here.
The following well-known gentlemen
will act as judges: Major Edgerly of
the U. S. A.; Assistant Postmaster
Thomas Lewis, Frank H. Hicks. James
j. Mellus and Col. l. H. Polk of Ten.
nessee, and George j. Denis.
Prizes worth $1,000 will be distributed
among the contestants in the cake walk,
being given for graceful walking, capti-
waiting manners, department and style.
Hazards pavilion will be beautifully
decorated for the occasion, and grand
orchestra of fifteen musicians will fur
nish the music. Prior to the COM
mencement of the cake walk an inter-
esting programme will be given, con-
sisting of old slsvery-day songs and
typical southern dances. The partici-
pants will all be attired in full dress, the
women wearing decollete costumes.
There will be 250 men and women en-
gagged in the cake walk. The stage in
the pavilion will be extended into the
auditorium in order to give all good
view.

is probably true. But just now the
United States is losing largely of that
business through the competition OF the
Canadian Pacific railway and subsi-
dised line of Asiatic steamers, and is
likely to lose more of it, perhaps to lose
it altogether. There is great deal OF
imagination as to the benefit that trade
has been to San Francisco. Its loss
would be made up tenfold by the ad-
vantages which would accrue to our
merchants and farmers in stimulated
immigration and in the increased facili-
ties for shipping the products OF Cali
fornia to the east and Europe at reduced
rates. The benefits accruing to this
country from naval and military point
of view would be incalculable.

A VERY earnest and determined On
tario correspondent turns himself loose
on Judge Widney and the national
banks in the HERALD's columns this
morning. His arraignment of these
fiscal institutions was wont to be fierce
and fashionable in the old greenback
days-in the days when Senator John
Sherman-"honest John'--was a green
backer. Which reminds US that the
said "honest John" was at one time a
silver man also, as, indeed, what has he
not been? The banks will 60 on plac-
idly counting out their money, like the
king in the parior, in the nursery

capable OF attending to his end OF the
dispute. The judge wants more money,
and so do we, maugre our correspondent.
Los Angeles herald., 1892-04-03

THERE ought to be some general sys-
tenn, under responsible control, for util-
izing the immense quantities of water
that are being allowed to run to waste
in a country in which irrigation is
practiced, and is of such priceless i'm
portance, as in Southern California.
We have the opinion of the city engi-
neer to the effect that ten thousand
inches of water ere daily lost in the
Los Angeles river. The loss in the
San Gabriel is prodigious. Some
effective system of controlling the
latter stream, and of confning it
through an assured channel, ought to
be adopted. There is enough water in
that stream, if properly cared for, to
irrigate every foot OF land from Azusa to
the ocean. There has been an unac-
countable Indifference to this source of
wealth and production in the past.
What we have said of the Los Angeles
and San Gabriel rivers applies with
equal force to the Santa Ana, whose
waters are allowed to run to waste with
criminal recklessness. In the case of all
these streams the precious fluid has
been already developed, and all that is
needed is an intelligent and judicious
system of distribution. The time has ar.
rived for making the most of the perco.
lations of our immense watershed, and
for converting the fertile ranches to the
south of our city into centers OF teem-
ing and prosperous population.

The Oakland Tribune endeavors to

Where did Boss Tweed and Mike Swee

The HERALD would also like to know
where mike" Sweeney comes in. Per-

B. Sweeney-whom the New York Her
aid dubbed Peter "Brains" Sweeney
who lost no time in planting himself in
Paris when he saw the storm gathering,
and who afterwards compromised with
the city for round sum, returning to
New York and moving about at his
pleasure. "Mike," we confese, had
escaped our attention.
