THEY WIN THEIR STRIKE.
The Members of the Chaingang to Be
Better Treated.

The Members of the Chaingang to Be
Better Treated.
The members of the chaingang, made
up of city prisoners, will in the future
be treated more as if they were human
beings than they have in thepast. Their
strike against the unnecessarily severe
treatment to which they were subjected,
has been successful. This morning the
gang will go to work in Elysian park.
In the future they will eat their midday
meal with sixteen-pound bali and
chain attached to their legs in the
shade, out of the burning sun. This
will be somewhat of relief.
Chief Glass yesterday called the twelve
men out, and after he had talked to
them for while, they all agreed to 20
to work. No longer will they be COM
pelled to suffer unnecessarily. This was
all they asked. The chief Gays that he
never was in favor of putting ball and
chain on man, only where he was a
hard case and liable to make break for
his liberty. As it is now, nearly all men
have to work with this cruel attach
ment. In only few cases Ia 1t neces-
cary, and with few exceptions, the
chief is in favor Of abolishing the fetters.
He claims, though, that it is a matter
over which he has no authority, and
that Captain Lockwood has the matter
solely in his hands.

HEAP BIG INIUNS.
The Visit to the City ofa Batch OF

The Visit to the City ofa Batch OF
Maricopa Indians.
Ten distinguished visitors are now go
journing in the city. They will remain
for brief time to enjoy the climate, see
the sights and inspect the wonders of
Los Angeles. Then they will return to
their pastoral homes at Yuma, Ariz.
The visitors are ten Maricopa Indians.
under the leadership of Captain Small
and Charley Bismarck. They arrived
yesterday morning on the Southern Pa
ciic overland from the east. Cap
tain Small had letter to Chief of Po-
lice Glass, in which he was given
very fine send off. The letter was from
the sheriff of Yuma county, and stated
that the captain and his companions
were good Indians, who were off on a
little summer vacation. He requested
that they be given place to sleep and
be not led astray.
During yesterday afternoon the dusky
visitors wandered about the streets and
enjoyed themselves in viewing every
thing there was to see. Captain Small
purchased high white hat for 81 SO
and proudly placed it upon his noble
brow. This completed his makeup to
his entire satisfaction. At 10 .. no. the
Indians were given the school room at
the police station. Here they spent the
night. Clerk Cottle saw to it that the
gas in the room was turned off and not
blown out. They will remain several
days.

srrMsoN's BIG BUILDING.

The six-story EdifIce to be Erected by
That Millionaire.
The bank building to be erected On
the corner of Spring and Third streets
is about to be converted into six-story
building by Mr.. 7. d. Stimson, the Chi
cago capitalist who has been investins I
largely in Los Angeles realty. He has
lately acquired 100 feet on Spring street
by 155 feet on Third, but in order to get
control of the property on the corner he
had to purchase an interest in the bank
as well. A few days ago the
papers were signed whereby
Mr.. Stimsun provides ample quar-
ters for the bank, pending the erection
OF the proposed new block, which is to
be rapidly pushed. The building now
on the property-two of them fine new
three-story structures will be torn
down, and all will be rebuilt from the
ground up. The bank will, upon its
completion, occupy the corner as for
merly, and will also, in conjunction
with its other business, conduct a
savings bank. M. Stimson has already
invested large sums in Los Angeles real
estate and building ventures, but this
enterprise will far eclipe any of his for
mer operations.

seats. Naturally, such an attack on the
house by one OF it's members, was not
likely to escape observation, and the
author of the charge has since been
called to account for his statements.
1t all sifts down to this, that Mr..
Cobb, Of Georgia, was troubled with
neuralgia one night in June, and sent
the page nearest him for cupiull of
whisky. This he drank slowly and was
nearly an hour in consuming it. Wat
son, when called down as to whom he
had seen "reeling about the floor, I"
could not remember anybody in partic-
ular. He will be in big luck if he
escapes expulsion for SO wanton an at
tack; and on the day of adjournment he
won't have influence enough to gain the
eye of the speaker on motion to take a
ten-minute recess.
This Watson objected to the consider
alton of bill to pay $500 each to four
men who, in 1888, had served the United
States abroad on diplomatic errand,
without travelling expenses. Mr.. Bayard,
who had refused to make them any such
allowance while secretary of state, now
withdrew his opposition. The bill
passed. the senate April 18th, and when
a motion was made to take it up in the
house, under suspension of the rules.
Watson objected alone. He must have
thought Mr.. Holman was dead.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 5. 1899.
CONCERNING REGISTRATION.

County Clerk Wards letter in yester-
day mornings HERALD seems to have
raised quite rumpus in the Republican
camp, which was neither the intent of
this paper nor of the author of the COM
munication which provoked Mr.. Wards
reply. The suggestion thrown out by
the communication was purely for the
public benefit, and it is not too late for
the clerk to adopt that suggestion, if he
sees fit to do so. As to the matter being
referred 90 in "a sour and fault-fnding
manner" we deny any i'll will ia the
premises. This paper has always given
Mr.. Ward credit whenever it possibly
could; and surely the right to approve
carries with it the right to censure when
it can be done in spirit that does not
depart from thestrict lines of justice.
With nearly $50 deputies scattered all
over the county and registering every
applicant for registration. some persons
are liable to get on the Great Register
who may not be entitled to such prlvi
lege. If every man turns in all the
blanks issued to him. properly numbered
and in correct rotation, well and good.
But suppose he neglects to do so. Sup
pose that he means all fairly enough
and yet has his feld-book stolen from
him in some saloon or suppose that he
is a wilfully corrupt man, and destroys
a lot of registration certificates at the
behest of some candidate? Should not
the officers of the law protect the voters
against such maladministration of law
as that?
We believe that there cannot be too
much care thrown about this matter of
registration. We do not believe in
registry law, to begin with, for we deem
it an infringement upon the popular
liberty. But, as it is the law of the
land, there cannot be too much care be-
slowed upon its proper enforcement.
If all these registering deputies were
the equal of Mr.. Ward himself in cleri-
cal ability or personal integrity, there
would be no cause for. a complaint as to
the methods OF registration. We do not
say now, nor have we in anywise inti-
mated, that any voter will be disfran-
chised under the present method of reg
istration. We only say that there is
now an ample chance for such results,
either through carelessness or down
right corruption, and any system which
brings about such results, or even
brings them within the range of posi-
bility, is very good system to aban-
dor

HAROLD BoYcE, formerly of this place,
who was arrested for criminal libel on
the district attorney at Spokane Falls,
has been discharged from custody, and

ANOTHER master in the art of sophis-
try is Mr.. Aldrich of Rhode Island, who
is probably an attorney of the New
England Screw company of Providence.
With arctic frigidity this gentleman
stated, the other day, from his desk in
the senate, that the cost of living, to a
family in moderate circumstances, has
been reduced 40 per cent by increas-
ing the taxes upon the necessaries OF
life. Now we do not feel like asking the
senator from Little Rhody" if he
yawns whenever he tells lie, but we
feel like yawning ourselves at reading
this statement. Why doesn't Mr.. Al
drich move to SO increase taxation upon
the necessaries of life that it shall cost
poor people absolutely nothing to live :?
This would beat Henry George and Ed
ward Bellamy clean out of sight, as an
abolishment OF poverty.

the entire play is more or less g sermon,
salutary to both workmen and capital
ist, urging forbearance and patience on
one hand, and kindness and sympathy
on the other. There are number of
dramatic contrasts which are strikingly
forcible, and there is a rippling stream
of unconventional and highly amusing
comedy permeating the whole. The love
theme of the play is particularly fas-
clnating one, and is worked out in an
unusually interesting manner.

ply to the suit brought for its dissolu-

When the Alaska Commercial COM

other day, with about 5000 ekins, from
Kamschatka, it was predicted that the
supply was go much greater than had
been anticipated, as to throw the price
from $l4 per ekin down to $40. There
are three vessels yet to hear from in the
japan fleet, and if they average as well
as these California seal-hunters have
done, there will be at least 10000 addi-
tion sealskins thrown on the market,
sufficient to cut the price down to 81 per
skin. If they keep on at this rate, every
servant girl will have a sealskin sacque,
and the "missuses" will have to 20 back

this letter, this ie from Harry Preach
or, (Indian.) I am q good Indian and
friend to both whites and Indians,
and want white men to treat In
dams we'll and give them work, and
treat them the same as white men.
1 have been talking TO the Indian
boys and il they get work they will
be willing TO do it. / have been tell
ing them not to drink and I want
them 10 do what is right. There is
lots Of young Indians around the
country andif they get work they
will be great deal better off. 1
want the Indians to keep the law and
il they do anything wrong I would
like white men to send them to Jail
and punish them the same as the
white men are punished. I don't
want Indians to carry pistols because
they, are likely TO cause trouble when
they get drunk. The Indians in
times gone by bad three dances a
year, and I want the Indians to have
big fandsngo in Wells about next
month, and don't want anyone to
bother them. Some people think
when we, Indians, all meet We mean
to have the ghost dance. We do not
believe in an Indian Messiah and we
mean to treat. the white people we'll
as long as they treat rs well. The
Indians have lost lots OF their horses
and when white men find the Indians
horses / wish they would not keep
them. It is common thing for
white men to brand the Indian. horses
and keep them. I wish you would
caution the whites not to keep the
indians horses, because we haven't
many horses and We need what we
have got l want the Indisns to pay
