THE MERCHANTS TAX.
SOME OPPOSITION TO IT'S REPEAL
BY THE COUNCIL.
The Repeating OF the Ordinance WIN
Dimsnish the Annual City
Revenue by About
$4,000.

Councilman Nickelrs resolution in
troduced in the council calling for the
repaal OF the tax upon merchants. chop
keepers, etc., does not show the strength
desired to carry the proposition TO q
successful issue at the present time.
The fact that the repeating OF the or
dinance viii diminish the annual reve-
nue. OF the city nearly $22, 900 has put
damper on the proposition, OF course
the councilmen would like to see the
ordinance repealed if there was any inn
mediate way OF making up the amount,
but some OF them. taking the circum-
stances surrounding the matter into
consideration, think that perhaps next
year may prove far more successful
time.
The merchants' tax runs from 81 to
$l5 month upon each bueiness, amount
ing to monthly revenue OF about
$500. The butchers tax, which was
included in the resolution. amounts to
about $3.50 month. comparatively q
small sum. Other chops will be affected
and relieved of tax in case the ordinance
is passed.
THE matter, as we'll as the matter OF
appointing nine additional policemen,
has been referred to the committee OF
the whole, and will probably be brought
up for consideration at Mondays meet
ing of the council.
Said an official yesterday:
"The cost of those nine policemen
in case they are appointed-wiil be
$7560 annually. Add this amount to
the $4,000, amount of revenue cut off
by repeating the merchants tax, and
you have to raise nearly $50. 900 from
some source to make up for it. Even
|. though a, small amount, it cannot be
lowered at present.
II am OF the opinion" concluded the
official, that the matter should be de-
ferred until next year when the tax
levy is fixed, go that if it goes into effect
the levy can be made accordingly"

THE BRACE CONVICTED.

Carter and Brady Found Guilty OF High
way Robbery.
John Carter and Joseph Brady will
not wander along the seashore at Santa
Monica any more holding people up in
approved highwayman style. Tbs jury
in the Carter case returned verdict OF
guilty against him yesterday afternoon
after being out an hour. and it took an
other jlry three minutes to convict
Brady.
They are the men who with third
partner held up f. III. Carter, a Santa
Fe brakeman, while he was walking on
the beach near the Arcadia with lady.
one evening last August. Brady thrust
a revolver in his face, one OF the men
choked him and they relieved him of a
$500 gold watch and $25 in money. The
third robber held the woman, but could
not stop her screams. Two OF them
then ran while Brady stood off tenter
who had come to Carter's assistance and
finally escaped himself.
The attempta of counsel to shake Mr..
Carter's Identification OF Brady proved
futile to the last degree. Carter was q
railroad passenger conductor for eight
years and swore that he was an expsrt
in remembering faces and voices. The
sentance of the two men WAS continued
by Judge Shaw until Monday next, al
though both waived time. An effort
will be made to get Carter, who claims
to be only Is years old into the Whittier

The evening proceedings in the con-
gress were opened by Col. r. ]. Hinton
of New Mexico.
G. r. lockwood OF the American
society OF irrigation engineers was down

called his name in vain, and Colonel
Hinton took his place.
1.-THE nations relations TO the irriga-
ton problem and water management"
was the title of the paper read by the
speaker.
Colonel Hinton gave comprehensive
and detailed account OF tha money
spent by the United States in topo
graphical work and irrigation.
He was emphatic in hia assertion that
he was opposed toltbe transfer of public
lands. There would be no end to. the
wild and INSCRIPTIONS booming ard

would bring about. @e A'e We
The speaker was enthusiastic in his
praise of the western country and pro-
iessed himself ready and willing to stand
in New York and fight against abuses
which might be leveIled at the west.
81 believe that every man who has a
farm under irrigation should pay for the
means which bring him the water"
said the colonel, land believe that the
government should see that the water
supplies are preserved for the use OF
that man and regulated by the govern

teresting paper on Irrigation Below the
Sea Level, explaining his ideas by the
use Ola chart.
Mr.. lockwood discussed the proposed
irrigation OF the Colorado desert by

canY Irrigation districts are managed
in exactly the same manner as munici-
pal corporations, and there is no more
danger of prof gecy and miamanage-
ment on the part Of the directors Of an
irrigation district than there is on the
part of the city councila and trustees
and county supervisors.
Mr.. Wright mentioned number OF
irrigation districts which are today in a
fourishing condition, and which atand
as an example OF the work TO be accom-
plished Under the Wright law.
The district law Of California OF 1887,
was enacted for the purpose of meeting
thie end. 1t was drafted with especial
reference to preserving the functions OF
popular government and with care that
no essential feature OF euch governments
as they have existed for ayes should be
found wanting. The county has its
board OF supervisors which represents it
in it's corporate capacity and gives direc-
tion to all its efforts and through which
is executed the popular will The city
and Incorporated town have q board OF
aldermen, trustees or councilmen. who,
in like manner perform duties of sub
stantially the same character.
THE difference, and the only differ
ence, between these older municipal cor
poration and the irrigation district In
shat the duties OF the former are OF e
wider scope, embracing sanitary and the
more ordinary forms OF public regula
tions and the preservation of the public
peace as well as the power to conatruct
public works OF every character, while
the irrigation diatrict haa but the one
end and aim, namely, tho furnishing OF
sufficient water for the irrigation OF the
lands. com posing tho corporation.
"All its efforts must be directed to
this one end. But the function is pre-
ciselv the came in character, as the
junction which the Incorporated city
possesses to construct a System OF water
works for the domestic use Of its inhabi-
tante; and the msasure of the power
and the manner in which it is exercised
IS IN the two instances the same.
Summed up in few words, the ir-
rigation district. under the Cali
fornia statute OF 1887, 10 municipal
corporation having the same powers
to construct irrigation works and 10
furnish to all lands within it water for
irrigation that are possessed by city or
Incorporated town 10 construct water
works and TO furnish water to its inhab-
itants for all domestic purposes. These
powers are familiar to sill, and are read
lily understood.
In conclusion Mr.. Wright said: "With
little more time to complete those
works already started, and time to con-
vince capitalists that their money will
be seie ii invested in irrigation bonds,

Protest Against Tips.

Hotel porters of Boston have
made a novel announcement.
They are not striking for higher
wages. They are protesting against
tips, This to the unthinking would
seem to be- flying in the face of
generosity, but the true inwardness
of it is had when it is found that
the tips do not line the pockets of
the recipients, but must go the head
porter. a man who serves the pro-
prietor of a hotel without pay.
When men who receive tips ad-
monish the public that in their
opinion guests who pay their board
should not he followed about for
the purpose. of obtaining money
from them in addition to what they
have properly paid for their enter
tainment we may begin to look for
"a removal of that which has become
almost u system. More tips in
larger aggregate are given in
America than in any other country.
Every guest of II hotel, every patron
of sleeping cars, every person who
has personal service by waiter or
porter feels that he must give some
thing to the individual. His tran
saction with the landlord is upon II
business basis. He feels that his
generosity is impeached if he do not
make a gratuity for the servant.
But the servant does not enjoy, it
seems, the tips he receives at least
porters do not--for all money so
obtained must go to the head port
err, who makes his living-and in
case of all great hotels the compen-
sation is vast out Of the service
rendered by subordinates, who re-
ceive small pay and can have no
gratuity.
Charges in America for all first
class accommodations of travel or
entertainment are high, and guests
ought to be spared what has be-
come apparently necessity of re-
comprising servants. When it is
understood that servants are the
mere money gatherers of unseen

sterling exchange. The fact that
exchange has fallen without SIM
ultaneous increase in the shipments
of wheat, has led some TO the hasty
conclusion that the grain market
had nothing to do with the altered
sterling rates. The reason of their
mistake is readily explained. The
recent foreign wheat purchases have
been made chiefly in Chicago and
Minneapolis, and, in the natural
course of trade will not be sent to
the seaboard for several weeks to
come. The price for future con-
tracts has been paid, however, and
pursuant to the unvarying custom,
are paid by the sale of sterling bills
on London.
This alone was hardly sufficient
to affect the change, so apparent,
but simultaneously foreign creditors
stopped their hasty transfer on ex-
change of their balances maturing
locally. Hence there is shrink
age in the demands made upon the
bankers for exchange, which was
before keen and persistent. This

with facts oil which it il based,
shows that the nearest approach to

Among the chief astringents af-
fecting the money market were the
excess of imports over exports. and
the exceptional foreign demand for
gold. The first of these is checked
by the sudden break IN American
