Likelihood That Dapray Will Not Be


Likelihood That Dapray Will Not Be
Confirmed.
The New York Herald of February 18th
contains dispatch from Washington in
relation to the promotion of Lieutenant
Dapray. If the senate acts as the dis
patch forecasts it will be received with
universal approval among the army Of
ficers, who resent the abuse of executive
power in promoting avain carpet knight
and a society upstart to an Office on
which he has no claim whatever, There
are too many deserving officers with
brains who should be recognized to allow
the senate to tolerate this society snip.
The dispatch reads
"Two of the presidents recent army
appointments are in danger of dying
with the session. These are the cases
of Lieut.. J. A. Dapray, who was nomi-
mated few days ago for major in the
pay corps, and Capt. D. j. Kirby, NOM
mated for restoration to his former rank
as captain Of infantry" t1e
In relation to Lieutenant Dapray the
dispatch continues:
"The opposition to Lieutenant Dapray
is not on personal grounds, as he is we'll
liked by many members of the senate,
with whom he has personal accquaint-
ance, but members of the committee
who have had military experience seri-
ously object to the jumping of young
officers who have been doing fancy duty
during their whole career over the heads
of other officers with war records, and
who have been denied promotion
through lack of political friends"
SOME ERRORS.
The Army and Navy Register is a
weekly paper published in Washington,
D. c., and poses as the official journal
of happenings in army and navy circles.
Within q month it has been guilty of
two atrocious mistakes in regard tc
officers in the the local army head
quarters. In the first error one of the
( aids de-camp was reported as having
been in Washington, while in reality he
had not stirred from this city. In the
issue of February 18th, the so-ealled
official journal says that General Nc
Cook, commanding the department o
Arizona, had been in Washington and
paid his respects to the president. Gen.
eral McCook has been in Los Angeles
for the past month and has not beer
near President Harrison. The last error
caused much merriment at the head
quarters YESTERDAY,

THE CONTEMPLATED DOUBLE TRACK.

That all things considered, it is sound
policy to scrutinize very carefully the
demands of railways and other corpora
tions may be conceded, but that trans.
portation companies have the argument
in their favor that they are at least nee.
essary evils, goes without saying. Some
people 60 further than this, and claim
that they are downright benefits, and
that any reasonable concessions asked
for by them in the line of easements
over our streets ought to be conceded.
In view of the magical results that have
followed railway development in Los
Angeles in the last seventeen
or eighteen years we are not
prepared to say that this latter
proposition is entirely wrong. No re-
gion on the American continent has any
more railways than Los Angeles, taking
our local, state and transcontinental sys,
TENS, and certainly no section of the
American continent has progressed at q
more rapid rate than ours, this includ.
ing the favored portions of Southern
California as well as our own specially
prosperous municipality. These refiec'
tions are pertinent in view of the facl
that the Southern Pacific railway is ap'
plying to the city council for the fran
chise for double track on Alamedt
street. There has been much and bite
opposition to this concession, which the
company has met by reducing their de-
mand for double track on Alameda

street to that portion OF the thorough
fare which runs from Fourth street south
to the city limits, with an offer to gutter
and otherwise improve that portion
OF the street traversed by their tracks.
We are informed that there is only one
objector to this plan amongst the prop
erty holders. There are certain ad-
vantages in double track that cannot
well be overlooked. 1t decreases the
danger to passengers and freights from
collisions. That portion of Alameda
street from Fourth south to the city
limits is not very thickly settled, and
the benefits promised by the company
seem to be fair set off for any inconve-
nience which might be urged against the
change. The railway company, in con-
sideration of the concession, will take
up their tracks on San Pedro and Pine
streets on their Santa Monica branch,
and their engagement to improve Ala
media street will doubtless count with
property holders on that thoroughfare.
This corporation has shown an inten-
ton by its improvement on it's Santa
Monica branch and the creation of
mammoth wharf above the mouth of the
Santa Monica canon, to create great
commerce-a commerce of transcon-
tinental Significance and dimportance-at
Los Angeles. There is a general and
quite respectable element of this COM
munity which is in favor of affording
the company ample facilities for its con-
expansion OF business.

THE HERALD.

The readers of the HERALD cannot fail
to have noticed the many Improvements
which have marked its appearance in
the past two weeks. 1t has been en-
larged in its dimensions and improved
in its typographical comeliness. Its
daily reports from important points in
Southern California and especially from
our neighhoring towns, have greatly
widened the sphere Of its interest to the
local and general reader. We shall ex-
tend this feature of our paper as rapidly
as possible. The HERALD is now printed
on the fastest perfecting press in the
state outside of San Francisco, 1t is one
of Hoes best machines, and enables us,
by its speed, to hold our forms open till
after 4 O'Clock in the morning, 80 that
the latest news from all parts of the
world can be laid before our readers.
This will be readily conceived when we
say that our new press strikes off $4,000
four-page sheets, or $4,000 eight-page
sheets per hour. The public show their
appreciation of our efforts by the rapid
increase Of our circulation. Since our
new press was put in our subscription
list in the country has gone up prodig-
iously, and in the city it has taken an
upward fight that is very encouraging.

A GENTLEMAN who has just spent a
few days at Redlands, said to us yester-
day that he never cav more beautiful
sight than that which greets the eye
from Smiley heights. On the one hand
is San Timoteo cafion, picturesque and
gorgeous, on the other the majestic San
Bernardino mountains with their snow
capped peaks, and miles and miles of
intervening valley covered with dense
carpet of verdure and spotted at inter-
walls with orchards and vineyards and
picturesque towns almost in their mas
cent state. The energy that has pro-
duced the most poetic results in horti-
culture here and there in that vast scope
of country, will soon turn its whole
extensive area into very garden OF
Hesperides.

Mr.. Richard Dillon and family has ie-

Hon. John F. Caples OF Portland, who
was district attorney of Multnomah
county, Oregon, lin which the city of
Portland is situated) is spending a few
days in this vicinity, and looks well after
long career at the bar. He was elected
a public prosecutor at time when
changing for murder was played out, y
so-seid, in that state. But he procured
30 many more convictions than his pred
ecessors that he got the nickname of
"B'oody Jack" from the criminal ele-
ments OF that city. Mr.. Caples has been
fairly successful in accumulating this
worlds goods, and it would not be an
astonishment if he made some invest
ments in this neighborhood before re.

Money and Justice.

1t was stated recently in Connecticut,
during debate en- capital punishment
in the legislature, that no man in the
state who was worth ten thousand dollars
was ever hanged for murder, and no man
with that amount at his command could
he executed in any state OF the Union.
That is hard saying, but it is believed
by more people than the man who uttered
it and those who heard him. There are
SO many legal loopholes in the technicali-
ties of the law which can be taken advan-
tage of by astute attorneys, that the pros
poets of the escape OF a criminal are con-
sidered proportionate to his means of en-
ploying counsel able and willing to work
for him.
We do not fully subscribe to this ass err
ton, but must confess that it is not alto
gether devoid of truth. A man accused
of murder who has no money, certainly
stands far less chance to cheat the gall
lows than one who is wealthy. At the
same time there are lawyers who will
work with all their might when appointed
by the court to defend an alleged crimi-
nal, and there are courts and juries that
are not affected by the standing of de-
PENDANT.
If man has the sum of ten thousand
dollars when he starts in to employ
lawyers to save him from hanging, it is
not very likely that he will be in a condi-
ton to SO defend himself on a second
charge-his plum will have been swal-
lowed up by the time he gets clear from
the clutches of the law.
The argument of the believer in the vir-
tue of cash as a safeguard against
execution, did not prevail in the Connec-
ticut legislature. The vote against abol-
fishing capital punishment stood 125 to
%. Notwithstanding the movements of
the so-called humanitarians, the senti-
ment that wilfuI murderers can be ade-
quately punished by nothing less than
death still prevails among the great ma
jority CT civilized mankind. 1t may be
necessary to make conviction little
surer when crime has undoubtedly been
committed, but the penalty will assured
ly remain in most of the states OF the
Union.

GOVERNOR STONE OF Missouri has been
producing a great rafting of dry bones
in the east by speech at recent ban
quet in New York. he told the bankers,
railroad managers and manufacturers
something about the people who pillow the
fields, who shear the fiocks, who dig in
mines and who produce the wealth of the
country, supplying the worlds wants.
He spoke OF how much of the value of
western products is consumed in trans-
portation and commissions. He said we
want good money and plenty of it to
answer our business requirements and
make easy exchanges. He told his hear
ers that western farmers, though not
paupers, are neither prosperous nor con-
tented, but dissatisfied, protesting and
aggressive. He showed where the wealth
of the nation is and where the debtor
class is, and then he declared, did this
vigorous young western governor, that
public sentiment in the states of the Mis-
sissippi valley and westward will become
omnipotent, will seize the national treas
ury and find way to the ocean and the
markets OF the world. And it may do
other things

Grnnfing Apain.

The Tribune asks US, "Why is not Con-
gress now in session?'' That needs no
answer and is only put for the purpose of
making a petulant remark. Congress
will be in session in due season, and sub
iects of legislation that are needful for the
country will be considered as soon as
there is time to attend to them. People
and papers that exercise common sense
understand that there are many things
for the administration to attend to before
Congress can be convened, and that a
new tariff bill will require great care in
its preparation before it can be safely in
troduced.
The Tribune is fond OF repeating, every
now and again, the saying about the
devil shearing the hog, when there was
an immense noise but very little wool.
That paper seems TO be going through the
shearing process, judging by the noise it
is making, and as to the wool, not a
thread of it appears in any argument it
has produced. There are several grunts
at THE HERALD in the latest Issue of the
1ri6, and they merely denote the sort of
animal from which they emanate.

THE WAR of the rebellion, as one OF the
issues of the past, is compared by ex-
Senator INGALLS, to volcano that has
burned out. 'sScorie and lava abound,
but they will never kindle again." He
adds:
The negro problem is practically ex-
tinct. The negro must take his chances
with the rest. There will be no more
s'force bills, - nor civil rights legislation.
The rule of the minority in the south is
acknowledged. The elimination of the
African as political factor is complete,
and, with four assured years more of the
policy of local self-government and home
rule, the supremacy of the Auglo-Saxon
race win never be disturbed. There has
been, indeed, for some time a growing
sentiment of acquiescence in the ad-
mitted suppression of the colored vote,
and subterranean conviction that under
the same circumstances the whites of the
north would act very much in the same
