SUBMERGED CITY FRONTAGE LANDS.

| The United States supreme court has
affirmed recent decision of the United
States circuit court in the Chicago lake
front case, which will have significant
bearing in cases il this state. The
claim of the Illinois Cen lral railroad to
the right of way over the submerged
lands arose from an act of the state
legislature in 1869 granting it the right
to those lands. The value of the prop
erty claimed has become enormous, and
its possession enabled the railroad cor
poration to monopolize the whole 'front.'
age of the city. The controlling spirit
of the decision is the sovereignty of the
people over sven their own legislatures.
The court brushed aside all Incidental
objections and at once came down to
the proposition that by this act the
legislature exceeded its authority, and
said
"The states title to the land under
the navigable waters Of Lake Michigan
is different in character from that on
which the state holds its lands intended
for sale. 1t is title held in trust for
the people of the stale that they may
enjoy the navigation of waters, carry on
commerce over them and have the lib
erty of fishing therin, free from the OBJ
etruction or interference of private par.
ties. The state can no more abdicate
it's trust over property in which the
whole people are interested, like nav
igable waters and the soil under them,
30 as to leave them entirely to the con-
troll and use Of private parties, than it
can abdicate it's powers in the admins.
tratioA OF the government and the pre-.
servation OF peace. In the administra
tion of the government the use of such
powers may, for limited period, b.

body, but there always remains with
the state the right to revoke those
powers and exercise them in more di-
rect manner and one more conformable
to its wishes. So with trusts connected
with public property Of special char
acter, like lands under navigable waters,
they cannot be placed entirely beyond
the discretion and control of the state"
This settles the law in all such cases.
The legislature has no right to ALLEVIATE
to the ownership of private corporations
or individuals lands that are dedicated
by their nature to the use OF the whole
people. Apply this rule to the Oakland
frontage, which was granted to H. w.
Carpenter, and.the private possession
OF that frontage has not foot to stand
upon. The same rule will also affect the
fee in frontage lands at San Pedro, and
cause, doubtless, apprehension amongst
those who bought these lands from the
state. 1t will also reach some of the
titles to marshs and tide lands in San
Francisco, causing great uneasiness
amongst the city front proprietors Of

THE NEW YBAR'S HERALD.

This is a Democratic year, and 1T will
be signalized by any number OF pleasant
things. Not the least OF these Will be
the New Years edition OF the HERALD.
This publication will contain an ex-
haustive resume OF the events OF
the past year, and will be scat

States. No doubt our patrons will, as in
the past, extend a generous support to
this issue, OF which an unusually large
number of copies will be printed. Its
letter press will be devoted to accurate
descriptions OF the city and county OF
Los Angeles and their leading indus
tries, and it's advertising columns Will
tell OF the development OF business III
our midst. The merchants and busl'
ness men OF the city will be interviewed
bv our solicitors, and we are confident
that they will respond literally. 1t
will simply be bread cast upon the
waters, which will return before the

Large Concourse of Sorrowlng Friends
Witness the Imposing Ceremonies.
At 80 O'Clock, December 9th, the
doors of the cathedral opened to admit
all that was mortal of one whose heart
was always uppermost in the work of
the Catholic church. The imposing
concourse was headed by Father Adam,
together with Father Fox and Father
McAuliffe. Fathers Grogan and Fitzger-
aid were also present but among the
mourners. AS the sorrowing cortege
reached the altar, delegation of clergy
advanced to meet it, headed by the
venerable Bishop Mora.
The imposing ceremony of burial was
given with magnificent music, and at IL
O'Clock the sad procession was on its
way to the cemetery.
The church was quite crowded, not
withstapding the comparatively early
hour; and conspicuous among the con-
gregation were many of native parent
age. OF late years our Spanish-Ameri-
can population has become very much
impoverished, and it was very largely
the subject of the deceased lady's char
liable endeavor. The poor of Los An
geles parted with a sterling friend and
sincere comforter when Mrs. Downey
went to her long rest.

out material amendments. On it's face,
the scheme is an attempt to saddle the
United States with the responsibility of
taking, for the next five years, twice as
much silver for monetary use as all Eu-
rope combined; and not only this; it
also means that, after having thus
added 270, 100000 ounces to our stock of
silver. ard in much larger measure in
creased the amount OF legal tender notes
payable in gold Or eilver, there will be
the same absence OF any concerted pro-
lection for silver as there is at this mo-
ment, whilst its depreciation will then
be subject to a new impetus. All such
petty expedients are but mockery oi
the large and serious demands arising
out of the present position of silver.

THE Republican papers are protesting
very vigorously against the possible re.
moval of Chief of Police Glass by the
incoming Democratic city administra-
tion. The plea is made that politics
should not affect the police. Very
true, but neither should the police
force enter into politics. During the
recent campaign number of police
officers took an active part in behalf OF
the Republican candidate, and in the
Democratic primaries in a Boyle Heights
precinct, couple of officers took up the
cause of Mr.. Rowan's antagonist and
by force tried to prevent his friends
from supporting him. Chief Glas did
not dismiss these men, and the police
commission outside OF its Democratic
members sustained them in the investi-
CATION which followed. 1t is a certainty
that a good Democrat can he found who
as chief OF police will conduct the de-
partment and keep it out of politics.
Then let him be kept permanently in
office.

EVERYBODY must be pleased with the
assurance that nothing will come of the
plan proposed by Baron Rothschild to
the monetary conference. His proposal
that for each OF the next five years the
European governments shall collectively
buy e5, 600, 900 worth of silver at max
imum price of 45 pence per ounce, and
that the United States shall for the
same period continue to buy 81, 900 600
ounces, may perhaps be taken as test.
but probably not the full measure of
what Europe is at present disposed to
do. The United States will not be
found willing to bestow any serious con-
eideration on this simple proposal with

THE telegraphers OF the Rock Island
railroad have inaugurated a strike,
which, if not promptly ended, threatens
to spread to other roads and become a
very serious affair. The risks that
travellers now have to run will be greatly
increased if this trouble should develop
in O general strike of the railway tele-
graphers. New and incompetent men
handling the keys at the stations may
lead to serious results in the running Of
trains. For this. ii for no other reason =,

whois wise woman? she is one who knows

THE city council yesterday awarded
bids on all bat two of the sections of
the outfall sewer. The awards aggre-
gate $l68, 1886 Now that these awards
have been made the people will look to
the responsible officials to see that the
work is well and thoroughly done.
Every foot Of sewer should be carefully
inspected as It is laid, and the utmost
care should be taken that the city is
dealt fairly by in this very important
work. We hope that it may be got
through without scandal, and that the
material called for by the plans will be
honestly put into the work. After the
people have shown their willingness to
incur the great expenditure which per-
feet sewer system involves, they will be-
come very dangerous and vengeful if
this important public improvement
should be marred and its efficiency be
impaired by any system of jobbery.
The city engineer cannot exercise too
much care in his superintendent OF
this great work. II he brings it through
satisfactorily, he will make name for
himself in his profession which will
stand second to that of no engineer in
the state. Whilst he has much to gain
he has also everything to lose if the out
fall sewer, either in its construction OF
it's successful working, fails to come up
to the expectations which the people
have been induced to entertain.

the waters of Oil Creek are rushing
through the streets with almost re-
sistless tide. The Illuminating gas
works, the electric light plant, the
city waterwOrks, are under water,
while the natural gas mains have
been turned off at Oil City. This
leaves TitusvilIe without water, fuel
or light, at least from the sources
from which these necessities have
been accustomed to come.
Thirteen bodies heve already been
recovered in this city, and reports
from further down Oil Creek are that
seventeen more bodies have been
picked up.
Fully One-third of the business and
residence portion OF Titusville is in
ruins.
The property loss will reach far
into the millions. At Titusville the
loss is estimated at 81 800, 900, Oil City
$3.50, 900, Cory $50 900, Meadville
500 900, and surrounding country
probably a million more.

FIRE AND FLOOD.
Awful Destruction of Life and Prop
erty in Pennsylvania.
Hundreds of Lives Lost by WaterspOut
and Exploding Oil Tanks.

PITTsBURG, June 6.-Yesterday was
a day of death in the oil regions of
Pennsylvania.
1t has been raining necessarily for
nearly a month in the oil regions,
and for the past three or four days
the dOwn-pOur had been very heavy.
The constant rains had converted all
the small streams into raging tor
rents, so that when the clOud-burst
came this morning the streams were
soon beyond their boundaries and
the great body of water came sweep
ing down Oil Creek to Titusville,
which is eighteen miles south Of its
sources.
The lower portion of the town was
soon inundated. The flood came so
quickly that the people had not time
to reach a place of safety. The water
soon swept a number of oil tanks
down the stream, and in some way
not known they were ignited. In
less than time it takes to tell the
story, the flames spread to the sur
rounding buildings, and before they
could be subdued five blocks had
been burned. The oil from the scores
of broken tanks ran into the creek
and was ignited by floating debris.
In a few minutes the creek was
ablaze from shore to shore, and 1t was
carried down the stream. Death ana
destruction followed in its wake.
Everything inflammable took fire,
and by the time it reached OH CITY,
all the bridges between the two points
were consumed. Oil City is eighteen
miles from Titusville. The towns
along the creek are BOughtOn, Miller
Farm, Pioneer. Petroleum, Center
Rynd Farm, housewife and McClin-
rockville. Housewife has about 15,-
900 inhabitants and the other towns
about 200 each. Oil Creek flows
through a narrow gorge all the way,
and as the towns are mostly situated
on the hills, it is hoped there was no
loss of life. Communication has been
cut off from these places, however,
and nothing is definitely known.
At TitusVilIe the number Of lives
lost ia placed at fully twenty-five
from fire and drowning.
A large number of the most extern
sive and prosperous manufacturing
Embellishments now lay in ashes and
