Angels had population of 50,3S0.
The HERALD has had no reserve in
assuring its readers that new boom is
ahead for Los Angeles. 1t will be the
greatest ever known even in Southern
California, the region of booms. 1t will
have broad and deep base, founded on
production and development, both of all
SORTS. 1t will be supported and main.
tanned by agriculture, horticulture, vim
iculture, viticulture, mining, manuiac-
lures, and railways of trsnecontinental
magnitude. 1t will be as enduring as it
will be far-resching. There will be no
reaction this time, for whole continent
will be ready for it, and will contribute
to it's completeness. We have limited at
the 'dobie boom of 1S73-75, with glance
at the modern epoch boom OF 1SS6-s7.
The boom that is ahead now may be
called the palatial boom, and it will
leave Los Angeles the prettiest city in
the world. There is no use in saying
that we don't want boom. We have
got to have it, and may as we'll prepare
to submit to the inevitable.

CORRESPONDENTS at the state capital
say it is doubtful that the assembly will
carry out the recommendation OF the
investigating committee in the Bretz
case to expel that member. Six OF the
seven members of the committee. after
duly considering all the testimony in
the case, recommended his expulsion,
and the house should not hesitate to do
80. Bretz made a false and malicious
charge on the floor of the house, and
when examined by the committee he
could not give scintilla of evidence to
sustain it. The charge was one of the
most infamous character. He deliber-
ately declared, at the time the vote was
taken IN joint convention for United
States senator, that Kerns had been
bribed with money to vote for Mr..
White. Nobody believed that there was
. particle of truth in the charge, and
the result Of the investigation showed
that 1T was altogether wanton and base
less. If anything a legislator could do
merited expulsion, surely gross defa-
nation of this character, made at such
q time and in the face of the whole
country, ought to be visited by the pun
mentrecommended by the committee.
The house owes it to it's own dignity to
carry out the deliberate verdict of the
committee.

IT IS authoritatively announced from
Washington that President Harrison
has decided, with indecent haste, to
name the successor of Justice Lamar.
1t is furthermore stated that the Repub-
!ican senators will confirm the nomina-
tion, even if the cloture has to be re-
sorted to. Let them do it. The spec.
tacle presented in their uuseemly
scramble for an Office that rightly De-
longs to the incoming administration
will form fitting fnalefor the admins
tration that fathered the force bill and
has been conspicuous for official venality
and political greed. Justice Lamar was
appointed to the bench by President
Cleveland, and az there are now but two
Democrats on the supreme bench it
would seem but right and proper that
President Cleveland should have the
opportunity to fill vacancy that occur
red on the very eve of his return to
power.

tempt case of Mr.. Shortridge, the San

Of arbitrary power for court to hold

tempt for publishing the proceedings in

judge to close the doors of the court in
such cases, but the latter's jurisdiction
does not extend to closing the columns
of newspaper to the publishing OF the

considered by the editor of sufficient i'm
portance to give to the public. The con-
Htitution says that the freedom of the

WHEN the supreme court OF the
United States handed down the opinion
in the case of Chicago against the IlIi-
nois railroad, involving title to the water
front OF that city, the HERALD took the
ground that the law, as laid down in
the Chicago opinion, would also cover
the contention Of the city OF Oakland
against the water front company. The
supreme court held that the water
fronts of cities are held by the states
IN trust for the people for public uses,
and that it was not in the power of the
ieRislatures to ALLEVIATE them or to
legally convey the ownership OF them
to private individuals or to corpora
tions. The superior court Of Alameda
county was trying the Oakland water
front case at the time this decision was
rendered, and was disposed to favor the
contention Of the water front company !;
but since the opinion in the Chicago
case has been received it has concluded
that the law as there laid down exactly
covers the Oakland case, and granted q
non-suit against the water front com.
Pany. One is anxious TO know now
The herald., 1893-01-27

how the title to the water lot property
IN San Francisco stands. From Mont
gomery street to East was all sold by
the city to private individuals under
acts of the legislature. But the law as
now laid down in the Chicago case de-
MES the right of the legislature or the
municipality to ALLEVIATE from the people
of the commonwealth the submerged
lands on a city front. Whether this de-
cision may be construed to lead back to
the time of the sale of the San Francisco
water lots or not, the fact remains that
Henry w. Carpenter, to whom the
states and municipalities stitle to the
Oakland water front passed, acquired
the property about the same time that
the frontage of the metropolis was sold.

STATE TEXTBOOKS.

The Oregonian seems to have fallen
into the same error that has been en-
couraged by certain interests in refer.
ence to the publication of school books
by the state. 1t has taken the figures
of the cost of running the state printing
office as a whole, and thinks that the
printing Of the school books is respon-
sible for the great outlay. The fact is
that the maintenance of the state print
ing Office has reached go high a figure
not on account OF the printing OF the text
books, but because of the vast amount
OF unnecessary printing that is foisted
upon the department by the state Off
GERS and the legislature. The law places
no limit to the amount of printing the
state officials, the University and the
Lick observatory may require from the
state printer. If the head of the de-
partment should include in his report
the Bible the state printer would have
to print it, as far as the law is con-
cerned. The law governing the state
printing department requires reforma-
ton, and limits should be placed upon
the amount Of printing state officers may
require to be executed.
AS to the textbooks, they ought
to return to the treasury something near
their cost to the state. If they do not
it is the fault of the state board of edu-
cation in not fixing the prices of the
books high enough. The Call makes a
very CONCLUSIVE reply to the criticism of
the Oregcnian. 1t says that objections
urged by that paper against the state
project is two.fold that the books cost
more than they would if furnished by
private firms, and that they are of in
ferior quality. The frst-named objec-
tion is matter of opinion. School books
are supplied to pupils at much less cost
than when they could be bought
out o. the school book ring. Whetiies
the saving to parents Is sufficient
to compensate for the cost to the
state is matter to be determined by
calculation. In respect TO the second
objection it may be said that school
books were never satisfactory under the
OlQ tOuQlLlOA6s AtO EOOucI WdH DUSh
distributed among the scholars thar the
discovery would be made thatit was
not SO good ss some other book the ring
was publishing. New editions would
be got out without number and pupils
would be obliged to throw away old
books for new ones. A good many
teachers were believed to be in the in
terest of the ring. Boards of education
were subject to like suspicion. In
fact, there was general feeling of dis
trust which in time became SO intense
that parents took their children from
the public schools rather than submit
to the exactions of the school ring.
That school books might be printed
cheaper by private parties than they are
by the state will not be disputed; but
if the state should cease to be a COM
petitor no one knows what the cost to
purchasers would be.

A POSTMASTER'S THEFT.
A. g. REED FOUND GUILTY OF TAX.

Happenings Yesterday In the Courts
Notes of Cases on Trial.
New Suits Which
Were Filed.

The second trial of A.. S. Reed, for
merly postmaster at Carpenteria, took
place yesterday before Judge Ross in
the United States district court. He
was accused Of embezzling $1S3 from the
money order fund of his postoffice His
clerk, Charles Curtis, was accused of
the same crime and had trial when he
was acquitted.
The defendant also had trial and the
jury disagreed. There was very little
new evidence in the second trial.
The facts of the case, which ha We
been heretofore given, were that the
postmaster became short in his ac-
c UNITS, and Inspector Flint found that
he was behind. When this was ascer-
talned Mr.. Reed gave his check for the
amount OF the shortage.
1t transpired that Curtis skipped with
about $40, which he claimed was owing
him. He WAS found by the officers Of
the government and brought back.
Upon his trial he threw the entire re-
sponsibility of the shortage upon his
employer, and the trials resulted which
have been stated.
Upon the trial yesterday Curtis was
present and reiterated the statements
be had made before, that his employer
knew that the accounts were short; that
he had frequently called his attention
to the matter, but that no attention was
paid to it.
The postmaster claimed that he had
given the boy employment, and that he
had played fast and loose with him. His
testimony was in brief that Curtis had
been beiriended by him, and that he
had stolen from him, and proved an in
CRATE.
District Attorney M. T. Allen repre-
Hltihday the defendant, ana the case
was presented on both sides with abil-
ity. The jury went out at 4 80 O'Clock,
and after waiting until $50 O'Clock,
Judge Ross dismissed them until 80
O'Clock. At O'Clock last night they
agreed upon verdict of guilty, and the
court set this morning at 1880 o'clock
for the sentence of the defendant.

an inmate of the SoldierE' home, who
committed suicide last Wednesday night

ADJUSTMENTS.

Los ANGELES THEATER-The Burns
memorial concert, last night, was given
to small but highly appreciative audi
ence. The address, commemorative of
the genius OF the Ayrshire plowman,
which was to haye been delivered by
James McLachlan, esq, had to be passed
on account of that gentleman's absence.
Miss Sergeant, who has a very sweet
voice, sang two songs very acceptably,
and was especially applauded for her
rendition OF the fishwife's song. Mrs.
Hance- Owens sang four songs with her
usual graceful phrasing and her sym
pathetic voice was never heard to better
advantage. Mr.. Harry Reeves rendi-
ton of Anchored, which he gave in a
style worthy OF Santley in his palmy
days, was greatly enjoyed. This gentle
man has very manly voice and fine
stage presence, which adds much to his
songs. The inclemency of the weather
doubtless kept away many who would
otherwise have attended the concert.
