IT is singular that, with the certainty
Of punishment as awful as the crime,
there are 30 many outrages in the south
ern states, by negroes, against the
chastity of white women and girls, the
latter often of tender age. The southern
people dare not allow such offences to
60 unpunished, and there is something
about them 80 atrocious that it is small
wonder that their punishment takes re-
voting shapes. The circumstances at
tending the burning OF Smith at Paris
recall the narrowing details of the tor
lures inflicted on white prisoners by the
Mingo Indians in the early days of the
settlement Of Ohio. It is generally sup
posed that the certainty and swiftness
of the retribution has something to do
with deterring people from the perpstra-
tion of crime. The experiences in the
south do not justify tina supposition. as
both certainty and swiftness are invari-
able Accomplishments of rape there.

with the city engineer and superintend-
ent of streets most satisfactory to the
property owners, which report was
unanimously adopted by vote OF 4 Re-

Mr.. Innes, Democrat, moved that &C.

poned until next Monday at p M,
Messrs Teed and Rhodes, Republicans,
voting no.
Mr. Teed, Republican, then moved,
and it was carried unanimously, that
the appeal of Meesrs. Davies ct al,
property owners, be sustained, and the
action of the street superintendent (Mr.
Hutchinson) be set aside.
The Republican councilmen are GER
tainly more to be praised than the DEM
ocrats in this proceeding. Mr.. Teed
went out of his way in leaving the
chair to maintain the rights OF the
property owners.
This is some OF the history that our

The attempt to take the appointment
of the park commissioners out OF the
hands of the governor and to place it in
the hands Of the city council does not
seem to US expedient. A strong protest
will be sent up to Sacramento request
ing that bill SO, introduced for that pur-
pose, shall be defeated. This document
is signed by many OF the leading citi-
zens OF Los Angeles, including the cham
ber of commerce. 1t is of the first I'M
portance that our parks should be kept
out of politics. We notice that Council
man Nickel ia in favor OF the measure,
and is supposed to be in Sacramento in
the interest of its passage. We always
give this gentleman credit for honesty
and public motives in all his actions,
but in this case we do not think he
represents the most intelligent senti
ment of our people. Our parks at leas'
ought not to be drawn into the pool o
political jobbery.

IT SEEMS to be almost useless to talk

IT SEEMS to be almost useless to talk
about our having new hotel ccmmen-
surate with our status as city and as
. center for tourists. Millions of dollars
would come to this city ii we were up to
the modern standard in this respect. 1t
looks like an anomaly but il ie probably
true that if we had two big hotels they
would both pay well as a mere invest
ment, to say nothing of the incalculable
indirect benefits they would be to our
business men. Mr.. Julian Ralph, in
Harpers' Monthly for February, has the
following pertinent reflections on this
subject, under the heading "New Or
leans, Our Southern Capital" They
apply as well to Los Angeles as to any
other portion OF the country, and we
hope his views will sink deep into the
minds Of our capitalists and fructify
there, with the result that this city will
be made, as it easily can be, a tourist
center. Thus says Mr.. Ralph:

tinted, and the carpers will be silent per

SHALL HAWAII BIZ ANNBXRD2

The Washington authorities do not
appear to have reached definite con-
clusion on the proposed annexation OF
Hawaii. Forty years ago eimilar
posture of affairs in that kingdom would
have been met by spirited and instant
action. But forty years ago the people
OF ths United States, strange to say,
were much better prepared to go to
war than they are now. Their navy
then, relatively to those of France and
England, was three times as great as it
is now. 1t is a somewhat puzzling Cir
cumstance that, though we have spent
more money on our navy than England
has since 1865, we have go little to show
for it. The ways of American contract
ors and shipbuilders are indeed mysteri-
Gus. With secretary of the navy like
Robeson it would take hundreds of mill
lions of money to make any real showing
on the eess. Would England go to war
TO prevent the annexation OF the Sand
wich islands to the United States
Scarcely. Our greatest obstacle to sn-

tary Of State Bayard day before yester-
day. in 9 conversation with newspaper
correspondent, and it consists in our
having entered into an agreement in
1875. which was renewed in 1888, not tc
annex or to permit the annexation BY
others, of these islands. 1t is true thai
the great powers of Europe. and notably
England, have never considered them

GENERAL MANAGER WADE OF the
Southern California railway has author
lied denial of the statement that HE
road is in any way connected with the
bill which has been introduced into the
legislature at Sacramento authorizing
the several counties to issue bonds to
assist railway corporations to build lines
through the state of California. The
story OF the Santa Fe company's connec
tion with the bill originated in yester-
days Examiner, which said that if the
bill passed that company would build q
road via San Francisco to Sacramento.
The two roads are substantially the
same. This is case in which the
wish is father to the thought. II would
perhaps not be bad bill, but the legis-
lature in the past has not been specially
happy in its dealings with railways
In either the matters OF taxation or sub
sides, and it is not likely to increase
Its experiences in those directions.

SOCIETY,".

The last cotillon party for the present
evening. The affair was equally as
brilliant as the previous germans, and
the attendance was the largest of any of
the past reries.
The decorations were of pink and blue
material which, together with a profu-
sion of palm leaves aad smilax, were
tastefully displayed. Lines of pink and
blue crossed and recrossed above the
dancers and almost obscured the white
ceiling by their delicate blending.
There were large number of guests
present. The costumes of the ladies
were very handsome. Mr.. Frank Hicks
led the german. The usual number Of
pretty and familiar figures were danced,
and several new ones also. About
the most novel and amusing was that
devised by Mr.. Hicks several days ago.
The gentlemen were cent out of the ball
room and large placard with some
ridiculous and oftentimes appropriate
notice or saying painted upon them
were placed on their backs. The ladies
were handed cards on which was writ
ten the sign corresponding to one of the
placards worn by the gentlemen. The
ladies formed in two lines facing each
other and to the tune of Ta-ra-ra Boom
de Ay the gentlemen, pIacards and all,
danced down the center. Partners were
finally singled out and polka was
danced. From this march was started
and some intricate windings and un-
windings gone through with, finally
ending in another polka to the favorite
Vienna Dudes march.
Refreshments were served during the
evening and punch bowl was provided
for the intermissions between the
figures Of the german.
Dancing was concluded after mid
night.

A Difference of Opinion Between the
Council and the Taxpayers.
EDITORS HERALD: The endeavors OF
the council to add to their powers for
es22tlaGadffaf9n nsf6ftg ltigy aAowRinflhs
to pass bill through the legislature
that takes the appointing of the board
of park commissioners out of the hands
| of the governor of the state and puts 1T
into the hands of the city council. As
the law now stands, the council appro-
PIRATES the funds and designates the
parks on which they are to be expended,
but they do not have it in their power
to dictate to the commissioners as to
| how it shall be expended, nor who shall
be appointed to do the work IN the
parks, thus leaving the commissioners
free to appoint competent men. This
evidently is very CALLING to some of the
members OF the council, as they cannot
use a commission appointed by the gov
ernor for their political ends. The
reason the law was made as it now
is was owing to the danger that
Golden Cats park Of San Francisco was
exposed to from the action OF corrupt
board of supervisors and the influence
of the bosses, that made but political
machine of the park department. 1t is
quite evident that our citizens and TAX
PAYERS are not desirous OF having our
parks in any such jeopardy, and petit
,, ton signed by the chamber OF commerce
and large numbers of our most promi-
nent merchants, bankers, capitalists and
others, asking that the present law re-
main unchanged, as the present COM
mission are freed from all political intlu-
} ence and are able to act for the beet
: interests of the city and taxpayers, with.

doing all he can in the interest OF the
taxpayers to defeat this bill that aims
to take the appointing power out OF the
hands of the governor and put it into
