For country that was at one time 30
important, Spain has been taking very
little part in the affairs of Europe
of late. She now appears to be
about to get into the swim, and is in
vested with the dignity of an alliance
between France and Russia. Lack oI
money more than any other cause is at
the bottom of Spanish decadence. No
people are braver than the Spaniards,
and no nation OF Europe has a more
chivalrous or romantic history. Her
record on the American continent reads
like fairy tale, and puts to the blush
the narratives OF Anglo-Saxon enterprise.
Maps have been discovered on which the
site OF Salt Lake City was clearly laid
down before the sixteenth century.
There was simply no limit to Spanish
daring and valor. 1t would be curious
if this at one time grsndest of nations
should catch the emulous spirit of the
day. and again take her place amongst
first-class powers. She would make a
pretty good set off against Italy in the
dreibund if she were vitalized by French
coin,

sPERo IN COURT.

How the Fellow Was Trapped by the
Inspector.
A. G. Andrews was given prelimin-
ary hearing yesterday before U. s. Com
missioner Van Dyke upon charge oi
using the United States mails for i'm.
proper purposes.
1t appeared from the evidence that
Andrews inserted an advertisement in
the papers stating that he had valu-
able article for sale, to married women.
The advertisement instructed it's readers
to ''Spero," P. o. box 60.
Postoffice Inspector Flint discover ed
the kind OF game Andrews was playing,
and instructed one OF the women en-
ployes in the post Office to answer the
advertisement. The young woman did
80, and the result was a series of dis
gusting epistles from Andrews, in which
he made the most indecent proposals to
his supposed married correspondent.
After several letters had been written
Flint instructed his amanuensis to ap-
point day for meeting Andrews, and
told her to inform him he must wear a
red pocket handkerchief in his coat
pocket.
This Andrews did and was arrested by
United States Deputy Marshal Liddell.
United States Commissioner Van
Dyke held the defendant to snswer in
bonds Of $2500.

steady, natural growth of the city would
necessarily extend the business houses
far beyond their present limit, and still
leave the existing business localities
with as much trade as they now actually
enjoy. We look for such development
and believe it is inevitable. But
that does not weaken the PROPOSE
ton that exorbitant rents will
have tendency to prematurely move
business houses to localities where more
reasonable rents can be had. The wise
policy for the landlords is to retain bus
mess in their localities instead of fore
ing it away by exacting exorbitsnt
rents. In other words landlords cannot
afford more than any other class of peo-
pie to ignore the motto of ''live and let

THE Board OF Supervisors yesterday
petitioned Governor Markham to leave
the vacancy on the superior bench made
by the death Of Judge Wade untitled.
Five superior court judges are ample to
transact all the legal business OF Los
Angeles county. When the number Of
judges was placed at six Orange was q
portion OF this county, and the six
judges were designed originally for the
whole territory as it stood before divi-
sion. That the five gentlemen who are
left could handle all the business of the
courts cannot be doubted. and there
will be no very importunste demands
on their time at that. This is a move
ment in the direction OF economy, and
it win receive the hearty approval of
our whole people. At the same time it
is just as we'll to bear in mind the fact
that the constitution lie mandatory, and
when a vacancy occurs on the superior
bench the language is imperative that
the governor shall appoint some one to
fill it. The Legislature may restrict the
number of judges that is. it may pro-
vide for abolishing judgeship when it
shall become vacant by death, resigna-
tion or as otherwise provided by law
but as long as the Office exists the gov
ernor is perforce obliged to fill it. We
understand that there is already
quite scramble for the vacant judge
ship. Hervey Lindley is supposed
to be warmly advocating ex'District At
torney McLachlan as Judge Wsde's sue
cessor. If that should be compassed,
Lindley is supposed to have removed
formidable rival from his path for the
Republican nomination for congress in
1894. Should McLachlan fail of an ap-
pointment, Lindley's brother-in-law,
Judge NJ. i. Owens, ia said to be in the
line OF succession. Thus there are
little wheels within wheels at work to
give the governor room for selection.
The next legislature ought to provide
for reduction in the number of judge
hips, and if the members of the board
of supervisors are as earnest in the
cause of reform when they assemble next
winter as they are now we shall in time
attain this desideratum.

A COLORADO mining expert has been
talking to the Chronicle concerning the
innumerable fine gold prospects that
exist in the Sierra Nevadss. He says
that the outside world is too generally
possessed of the notion that it requires
great capital to develop geld mine in
this state. He pronounces this great
error, and says that the gold yield OF
California would be greatly increased if
it were once known that large number
OF paying lodes, which can be easily
and inexpensively worked, exist here.
He came to California as the representa-
tive of Colorado capitalists who desire
to engage in gold mining, and he is
highly pleased with his experiences.
He adds that there are, numerous gold
camps in Colorado and that the yield of
this yellow metal will shortly be greatly
increased there.

THE council yesterday voted to increase
the police force by ten men. This
measure will be looked upon variously
by our people, many OF whom think
that the limit of justifiable municipal
expenditure has been reached. The in
crease was advocated on the ground that
it wae a temporary measure. Mayor
Rowan expressed the opinion that it
would be economy to add twenty men to
the force on the ground OF the greater
security to life and property that would
result. We are inclined to think that
the average taxpayer will scarcely take
the Mayors view of the matter. The
council as whole favored the increase,
ss but two members, Messrs. Innes and
Munson. voted in the negative.

THEATRICAL MArrHRs.

Los ANaELEs THEATER. true
knight OF the nineteenth century is not
such man az the late Mr.. E. P. Roe
pictured in his mildly pious book OF
that title. He is, instead. just such
ma n as Edwin Milton Boyle has pictured
in the character OF Jack Paden in his
play OF Friends, the very best and pur-
est and truest dramatic presentation
that has been produced as yet by any
American playwright. This hero is
man with a soul full OF rich romance, a
man who gives his love all the bright
coloring of poetic fancy. who feels the
most delicate and sentimental emotions
that lover can know, and yet who is
practical, shrewd, honest, frank fellow.
A true American knight is pictured in
this play. MIR. Boyle has produced
something better than successful play.
He has produced q work dealing with
American people, scenes and episodes,
and at the came time with skill really
poetic, has given these characters pas
sions 80 true and human that one for
gets all provincialism in the full percep-
tion of its humanity.
The real hinge of the play is the love
OF the young people, who practice no

the good old orthodox, every day,
American fashion of honest tenderness.
1t ia q good play, wholesome through
every line Of it. The lines are most ex-
cellent. 1t is play which would be ae
enjoyable to read as to see, which is the
highest possible test. There are crea-
tions of character in 1.-TWO. those of
Jack Paden aud his father. The others,
even the lovers, are side lights whose
careers only serve to illustrate the char
acterietics OF these two. The old man
is type which all the world knows
self-willed, impulsive, passionate, hot
tempered and tender. The boy is
knight of the nineteenth century, as the
author himself says, mot only a hero
but . gentleman" 1t will be presented
for three nights, commencing this even

A Multifarfous FOrger in the Clutches
of the Law in Brooklyn.
New YORK, Nov. 6.-George Lingard
OF Brooklyn was srraigned today on the
charge of forgery. Two hundred and
seven checks bearing the forged indorse-
ments of his employers were put in evil
dence against him. The largest was
for $457. The others ranged all the way
down to 81. Altogether they foot up
$4,000. The attorney for the victim
lied Garfield bank said forged checks
amounting to $4,000 or more had since
been received. 1t is alleged Lingard,
who is veritable "Jim the Penman"
in appearance, has been forging sigma
lures to checks during the last 10 years,
and has stolen in this way over 100000.
On two occasions he was caught in the
act, but by handing over something like
$25, 800, managed to escape punishment.
