But the most interesting fact to
Los Angeles is the existence OF
numerous mineral districts to the

profitably worked with the facilities

The products of the mines will pay the
railroad company better than any other

not be rash to say that Los Angeles will

THE shrinkage of values in Wall street
during the panic is nothing to the
shrinkage that takes place in the cash
assets of presumably rich people when
they are hauled before board OF equal
ization to give an account of the money
they have. The poor devils who have
homesteads and tangible real property
cannot escape the tax gatherer; but the
capitalists who control hard cash till you
can't rest are as difficult to handle in
the way OF extracting taxes out OF them
az If they were objects of charity. The
fact is that under our system OF taxation
it lie those who are best able to pay who
can the most easily escape its burthens

brains in vain to make practical real

Armenian Christians Put to Death Re-
gardiess of Engiand's Protest.
LONDON, Aug. 3.-The question OF
Turkish outrages upon Armenian Chris
tians was sg AIN brought up in the house
OF commons today. Sir Edward Grey
said what little information the foreign
office bad on the subject was very pain
full. Fifty-six persons had been arrest
ed. II condemned to death and many
others sentenced TO long terms Of i'm
prisonment Subsequently the sultan
commuted the death sentences of all
but five. Tnese had been executed
within the past two or three days.
From the evidence given at the trials,
all of which had been carefully investi-
gated by the British representative in
Turkey and report thereon forwarded
to the foreign office, it was clear two in
nocent men were executed. Probably
more were innocent OF the charges
against them. The British representa-
tive 10 Constantinople used his int1u'
ence to convince the Ottoman authori
ties that the trials were unfair, but his
efforts were vain.

TIE three largest tin-box manufac'

If congress does not repeal the duty on
tin they will have to shut down their
works. There is no American tin pro-
Luced, ard the Mckinley tariff has
placed the duty go high that manufac'
turers working n tin cannot afford to

LooPH0LRs OF THR LAW.

In these days when the administra-
tion of justice 10 so often clogged by the
macs OF technicalities which stick like
barnacles, attention cannot too often be
called to the majesty OF the law, and the
simple and eternal principles upon
which II is based. There is q tendency
to get away from these principles by
legal practitioners more impressed with
carrying their points than the elucida-
tion OF principles of justice. Thus they
have built up Chinese wall around the
single rudiments by which men could
be forced to act equitably with each
other. 1t is only by constant exposure
that these wrongs can be righted. No
one can see the frequent miscarriage Of
justice in the courts of justice in Los
Angeles through barefaced technicali-
ties, without wishing that the whole
mass could be cleared away. Only two
days ago Chinaman believed to have
killed young Chinese woman was &C.
quilted of the charge. Immediately re-
arrested for shooting another China
man, which be admitted on the witness
stand, the district attorney was forced
to dismiss the. case, alleging that he
could not secure conviction. The only
logical conclusion from the results re-
ferred to is that the Chinaman Alb Lipp
ia the murderer. But he was the chief
witness for the prosecution against All
Moon. and absurdly enough justice is
left out in the cold. A murder was COM
mitted, but by the shrewd manipulation
of technicnlities, the murderer will 60
unpunished.
The freedom of federal courts for many
technicalities which cucumber state
courts is refreshing incident in conneo-
ton with the work Of variohs tribunals.
