THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND THE
WHITTIER REFORM SCHOOL.

We always endeavor to cultivate a
friendly and appreciative feeling towards
ths people who manage our local insti-
tutions, and we are the more particular
in doing this because there has been a
good deal OF friction as to some Of them,
notably the San Bernardino insane
asylum and the Whittier reform school
at the time they were being inaug-
urated Much OF this we regarded ss
characterized by personal animus.
Our attention Ia now drawn to what
seems very much like an abuse in the
management of the Whittier reform
school. In fact, there Is no occasion for
beating about the bush in the matter.
Yesterday District Attorney Dillon filed
an opinion with tho board OF supervia
ors, advising tho rejection of the de-
mands Of Superintendent Lindley, Of
the Whittier state reform school. to the
amount of s4g3097. The demands are
for the county's half of the mainten-
ance OF incorrigibles sent from this
county. The last legislature increased
the amount per inmate per month to
S25 from $lS, the previous figure.
The district attorney contrasts the ex-
penditncea at various other institutions
in the state with the Whittier school,
and holds that it ia being run In very
extravagant manner, which demands
investigation.
He also contends that IL the act in
creasing the monthly allowance docs not
carry with it the right of the board of
supervisors to know for what they are
paying out the county's money, it is un-
constitutional.
The comparison of expenditures Of
other institutions with those at Whittier
ehowa great percentage of increase
against our local institution.
Common sense and ordinary business
prudence call for an itemizsd account of
these unusuM expenditures before they
shall be allowed, II they are allowed at
all. There is entirely too much euphem-
ism in this whole business. The in
mates of the Whittier reform school are
styled students, which is perhaps we'll
cuuuRh. ~ they eIhu i've up 10 Inb
high ideals that underlie this notion
much will have been gained. But, as a
matter of fact, it is simply yeformatory
institution, to which many incorrigibles
are sent, and there is no occasion for
any double-milled, extra superfine ideal
ism about the school. 1t ought to be
brought down to the plain level of COM
mon sense and accountability, and this
is especially true Of the expenditures of
the institution. 1t is the duty of
the supervisors to see to it that no money
OF the county is expended without
quid pro quo. The sum OF $25 month
for the inmates, considering that lodg-
ing and attendance are provided, 10 pre-.
posterous. Such sum admits OF the
carrying on OF the school on acae OF
luxury utterly out Of the contemplation
of the people of the state OF California
in providing reformatory institutions.
The supervisors should scrutinze very
carefully the way the peoples money is
being expended at Whittier. The HEe-
ALn agrees with the district attorney
that there is large-sized nigger in the
wood pile in that interesting nsighbor-
hood, and the sooner he is unearthed
the better for the taxpayers.

THE president yesterday officially
proclaimed that the Russian-American
extradition treaty had been ratified and
would 80 into effect in twenty days.
The treaty in its entirety has not yet
been given to the public, but enough of
lis contents have leaked out to let us
know that no such treaty should ever
have been ratified by this country. 1t
provides that parties charged with Grim
inal oifenses. including attempts
upon the lives of the rulers or
their families of either country, may
beextradited. When it is understood
that every act of political character
to change the government is held by
Russian law as an attempt upon the
life of the czar, we can see to what in
famous PURPOSES this treaty may be put.
Besides trial by jury IL unknown in two
thirds OF the Russian empire. A polti-
cal fugitive may be arrested in this
country ON any trumped-up charge that
is extraditable and sent back to Russia,
where he will be tried by secret tribu.
nal and sent to Siberia to perish in the
mines. There should be no treaty of ex-
tradition between country in which
the law is administered on civilized
and enlightened principles and one in
which the law is administered on bar
berous and despotic principles.

If THE progress that has been made in
christianizing the Chinese in our midst
be taken as an indication of the number
of conversions to the true faith made by
missionaries in China, the average reas-
oner will not fail TO arrive at the concIu-
sion that retaliation for the enforcement
of the Geary act will be but slight i'm
pediment to the spread of religion. If
the missionaries in China are forced 10
come home, they will find an ample
field to work in among our own people !;
and no doubt they would make far more
conversions here than they have made
among the hesthens of the Flowery
kingdom.

good or better than the average of its
predecessors. Certainly our southern
representatives were better, and the gov.
ernor has been vast improvement
upon many OF bis predecessors. But az
a law-making body the number OF crude,
immature and imperfect measurse
adopted would find no parallel in any
state OF the same age and hall its size
east OF the Rocky mountains.
A state composed OF the counties oil
San Diego, San Bernardino, Riverside,
Orange, Los Angeles, Ventura. Kern,
Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo
would contain population by the CEN
sus of 1890 OF 213, ,643, but If Mono, Inyo,
Tulare, Kings, Fresno, Monterey and
San Benito we're added, there would be
300, 1888; ; probably by this time $50, 900.
In 1890 North Dakota had only 1872, 719 /;
South Dakota, 327, ,S48; Wyoming.
60,705; Idaho, "a, ,229; Montana, 131 ,769 !;
Nevada, 45,76l; Oregon, 3l2,490, and
Washington, 349,516.
Now, If Southern California could set
up housekeeping with two or three hum
dred thousand she would not be 40 very
lonely. Then she might cite some OF
the older sisters like the old states OF
Delaware with only 1881. Vermont
332, ,422, Rhode Island 345,506, and a
number of others who have no larger
populations than this part OF our state
and are not growing half 30 fast.
cannot see why any one in the north
half OF the state should not be willing &C
least for a division, as it must certainly
1nure to the better government OF the
people there aa we'll as here for the rea-
sons given herein.
There would then be a unity of inter
est, purposes and plans in each state, In
harmony with their interest and the
best government by the people and for
the people.
There would be two moro senators In
the higher branch of congress- to look
after the interests OF the same territory,
that now have only two; and ID certainly
cannot be said that four good and hon
orable men would not have more infiu-
ence than two.
Mr.. Editor, and good people of South
ern California, great destiny awaits
the Pacific coast land on these sunset
borders of our western sea.
The population of the old world Is
crowding into the eastern, middle and
northwestern states, and the very cream
of the enterprising, intelligent and
wealthy American elements, az well as
the European elements, are as always
pushing on to the west, and these gold
en- shores are to be the paradise of the
world.
No other land on earth has go many
natural advantages to bring out and de-
velop the most exalted and highest
type of civilization as the country known
aH the Pacific coaat cnuntrv from San
Diego to Puget sound.
While all is great and good, that which
ia embraced within the territory desig-
mated as Southern California has in many
respects a climate, soil and productions
which render il peculiarly necessary
that it be a state by itself.
But it is apparent this ia not to be ac-
complished without greRt and persistent
effort. Any matter affecting such great
interests requires correepondingly great
efforts for their accomplishment.
At another time may point out some
of the ways by which this may be done.
