A FAREWELL banquet was rendered
last night at Hotel Redondo to General
McCook, on the eve of the departure of
that gentleman and his staff to the new
army headquarters of what was formerly
the department Of tine Arizona, now
located at Denver. During his stay
amongst us Gen. McCook has COM
mended himself to all classes of our
people. His splendid reputation as one
of the knightly heroes OF the war for the
union has been added to by his urbane
manners and kindly concern in all that
related to the interests of the people OF
Los Angeles and of the ether portions of
his department. we shall all miss
the gallant old soldier, and
the capable members Of his
staff, end of the departmental service,
will not be readily parted with. They
have endeared themselves to our social
circles, and they have constituted a
most interesting feature of our daily life.
May all good fortune 60 with them
The commemorative banquet was q most
brilliant affair, and the feast of reason
and flow of soul was only saddened by
the consciousness that we are losing a
good and gallant departmental COM
mander and subordinates OF whom any
military chief might we'll be proud.

used in your article headed Temper

We are not ''crowd Of hoodlums."
Neither'at any time since the legion be-
gan has there been "scrap" to enliven
the neighborhood. as you state, by any
members OF the band. The statement is
also false that our legion has been ex-
cluded from other churches.
It is also false that 1--WE are lawless

in our band to keep Gods laws. and do
keep them evidently better than many

their filthy habits.
God bless the L. T. L. spd the conse-
Grated men and women throughout our
land who are devoting their labors to
the saving OF the young from the evils
that curse our beloved country.
Now, Mr.. Editor, we intend to go on
battling for the right. and if all the
churches in Christendom are closed to
US, thank God we will still have the
open air. And all the foes that Satan
can bring against US, whether in the

the onward march of our legion with it's
motto: For God and Native land.

Detective Auble who has had charge
OF the investigation declares that on
July 4th Blair broke into the residence
of J. 9. Chapman, 20l7 East Sixth
street and stole quantity OF jam which
he ate in Mr.. Chspman's par.or. He
swallowed too much jam, however. and
was deadly sick, greatly to the dstriment
OF the parlor carpet. To avenge the
wrong on his stomach he stole Master
Chapman's bank, which contained a
few dollars, and shook the dust OF the
Chapman residence from his feet.
On Sunday morning. the detectives
claim that he burglsrfzed house on
Mateo street and stole Smith q Wes-
son 3S-calibre revolver. He could find
no money, however, so he straight away
went over to East Los Angeles where he
met Ambrose Cruz, boy of 13, who
possessed 80 cents. Blair demanded the
money, and being refused shot Cruz de-
liberately in the right shoulder, causing
q dangerous wound.
In addition to these little peccadilloes.
he is also stated to have committed
three other burglaries.
His examination was set for July 14th.
In the meantime he will be carefully
watched for fear lest he escape with the
prison safe.

WHEN q man like "Tony" Drexel
passes away and leaves an estate OF
thirty millions of dollars, there is food
for reflection. Here is person who
has never figured in any eense in o po-
liticsl capacity, who has never probably
influenced q dozen persons outside OF
his own immediate coterie, and yet who,
in period of less than a generation, has
been able to accumulate wealth quite
equal to that possessed by any man in
the world outside of select half dozen,
such az the Rothschilds. The system
which admits of such incredible accum-
ulations, within such very brief period,
must be radically vicious. The world
has reached stage when 1t will criti-
cally scrutinizs such tremendous accre-
tions of wealth; and, If the laws shall
not be shaped to restrict them, they will
certainly be so framed as to make their
relapse into the property of the nation
immediate after the death of their &C
cumulators.

The discussion of success sor to Judge
Blatchford on the Supreme bench of
the United States just now ranges all
over the country. The president is not
bound to any particular section. and his
known independence in his selectio n
for any Office imparts to the situation
an element Of interest. Convention
would seem to call for the nomination Of
some distinguished jurist from Judge
Blatchford's circuit. which is remark
ably rich in capable lawyers. 1t is
long way out to California, otherwise
there is distinguished Judge in South
ern California whose appointment would
give universal satisfaction hereabouts.
1t is pretty safe to assume, however,
that Mr.. Justice Blatchford's successor
will come from region east of the

The fire yesterday at the cold storage
werks in Chicago was 30 near the
worlds fair as to at one time create ap-
prehension that the flames would com.
municate with some of the buildings in

trous to the great show. AS it was,
however, the fire was accompanied with
frightful loss of life. When we think of
a number of fremen being caught in
the cupola of the cold storage building
with the fire beneath them, and some
fifteen OF the brave men perishipg in

enormous height to which they carry

ONCE MORE ON TOP.

The reopening OF two OF the closed
banks to business yesterday marks the
finale of one OF the most senseless
panics that ever visited q city. The
University bank.and the National bank
of Southern California resumed business
yesterday morning, and the First Ma
tional bank will reopen in few days,
when Comptroller of the Currency Eckles
has had time to verify the very favorable
report of its affairs made by Examiner
Wightman. 1t is needless to say that
the resumption OF business by the
University and the Southern California
banks was made the occasion for the
heartiest greetings of their officers by
our citizens generally.
No one whose opinion is worth having
ever had the slightest doubt about the
standing or the complete soundness OF
any of the Los Angeles banks that were
compelled to close their doors three
weeks ago. The wild and headlong run
that was made upon them wxs the re-.
suit of panic which sometime seizes
upon people just the same as stampede
sometimes seizes upon animals. 1t is
not necessary that there should be q
cause for one of these demonstrations
They start without reason, and once
started everybody loses his head and
they follow each other like a flock Of
sheep. In TACT men in panic are more
like sheep in senseless rush than any
thing else. They follow their leader
implicitly. If the leader jumps at an
imaginary obstruction all the rest do
the same; 80 with men in q panic, If
one enters a bank and calls for his
money instanter, they all follow after
and want their money, too. That is,
the men, not the sheep. The latter will
break their necks by jumping down q
precipice-; the former will fguratively
do the same in causeless run upon
their financial institutions.
No stronger evidence of restored con-
fidence and reason in this community
could be wanted than was shown yes
terday in the reopening of the two
banks named. The very men who were
wild to draw their money few days
ago, returned with it yesterday to re-
place it in the very banks they forced to
temporarily close. At the close of busi-
ness yesterday the Southern California
bad received $57, 900 of deposits against
$2l, 900 checked out. We could not get
the exact figures of the University bank,
but were told by one OF the officers that
the deposits were largely in excess Of
the money checked out. These facts
show conclusively that we have passed
the era of scare; that confidence is re.
stored, and that we shall 90 right along
again in our old prosperous course.
Los Angeles has one fact which this
disturbance has shown very conspicu-
ously, and of which she should be
Justly proud, and that is that the finan,
cial stirring up through which she has
gone has developed no taint of bad faith
or dishonesty in the men who have
been trusted with the custody of the
peoples money. That fact alone ii
worth all the trouble and anxiety We
have experienced.

Of the city how rapidly the library mem-
