 GERMAN ELEMENT.

STRONG PLAYS HARD CARD TO WIN THE
 GERMAN ELEMENT.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-The situation in state politics at present is practically un- changed from that of the opening fight, both forces working with as grim vigor as ever characterized state campaign.
 The fact that today was the last of the week probably had some influence in caus- ing the general quietude at the vari- ons political headquarters. The most important of the days incidents was Colonel Strong's reception for the district leaders of the Ger man Reform union at his headquarters at the Stufdevant house late tonight. It's special significance lay in his speech to German reformers. Admitting their con. tention that the existing excise law is an- tiquated and illiberal, he promised to exert his influence in favor Of that liberal legis- 1ation if he should be elected mayor. Ac- tive supporters of Colonel Strong regard these expressions as likely to have Q pow erful ect in securing to him the votes of the Germans of all factions who are not regularly allied with Tammany hall.

MR.. RAIDER MUST EXPLAIN.

Mr.. Frank RAIDER ie the Republican
candidate for mayor of Los Angeles.
MIR. RAIDER was once member OF
board of com m ssioners to assess DAM
ages to a district OF this city for the ex-
tension Of q street.
Mr.. RAIDER owned property in the
distric. to be assessed previocs to his
appointment as commissioner.
The Law explicitly provides that no
citizsn shall act in the capacity OF COM
missioner or other position involving
like duties If personally interested in
the result OF the work to be performed
by the board, council or body 20 organ

Mr.. RAIDER avoided the law by trans
feriing his property interests to his
partner.
He then assessed the district and
drew his stipend for the service thus
rendered.
Having served his own interests.
his connection with the public service
being also ended. Mr.. RAIDER retired to
private life and resumed ownership OF
the property temporarily relinquished.
This Is the record. 1t is not o record
to which Mr.. RAIDER may "point with
PRIDE" but one that he may be COM
PEELED to view with alarm" for honest
citizens cannot consistently or con-
scientifically endorse such an evasion OF
the law as 10 herein charged.
Unless Mr.. RAIDER makes satisfactory
explanation of his conduct in this mat
ter the citizens of Los Angeles will re-
pudiate him at the ballot box. Even
partisan adherents-men who vote 1.-The
straight ticket" because the nominating
convention of their party can do no
wrong-will refuse to approve OF a can
didate who remains silent under such
an accusation.
The mayor of Los Angeles must be
above every suspicion.
He must be free from every faint OF
self interest.
No man can be elected mayor OF Los
Angeles who has proved that his sell
interests are paramount. in an official
capacity, to public policy.
Mr.. RAIDER must explain. withdraw, OF

enough for all present needs? IL IL not
time to call halt on this sort of finan-
ciering?
The property owners OF this city have
been liberal enough in the matter Of
public improvements. They have opened
streets, they have macadamized and
severed and sidewalked those streets
they have laid out parks; they have
contributed without murmuring to the
maintenance Of the schools and the re-
suit is that many are at their Wits end
to find means to pay for sewers and
sewer connections. cement sidewalks,
curbs, and the city, county and state
taxes now overdue.
Let US pause while and consider the
cost. The argument that poBserity
should pay for the results OF our i'm
provements is not q good one, If individ-
ual interests are to be snbserved In pref
erencs to the public good, as is gener-
ally the case in these propositions to
bond community. 1t is unjust to the
property owner and the taxpayer to
force him into slavery, not only to the
bondnolder. but to the contractor and
jobbsr who engineer the bonding
scheme.
II the people are wise they will put
q quietus on the existing propositions
OF this character and 70 about the
business Of improving the city in q more
profitable and business-like manner.

EASTERN FRUIT GROWERS COM

The twenty-fourth biennial session of
the American Pathological society will
occur at Sacramento, January 10th, to

horticulture.
The American Pathological society has

middle and western states. Its confer
ences are usually we'll attended, and she
papers and discussions are of more than
ordinary interest. Leading authorities
on genealogical matters from all over the
union and Canada are likely to be PRES
ent at the gathering at Sacramento to
participate in its deliberations. The at
tendance will probably run into the
thousands.
The Southern California fruit growers
propose to ask the PomoloRical society
to hold one session of its convention in
Loa Angeles, with Q view to scquainting
its members with the superior horticul.
tural possibilities of this section. Fail.
ing in this. they will ask the attendants
at the Sacramento convention to visit
this section and inspect our orchards
and fruit.
1t is proposed to arrange for a horti-
cultural display of such products as are
obtainable at that time for the enter.
tainment and instruction of the visitors.
The people who attend this convention
are prominent in the sections whore
they reside for their knowledge on hort.
icultural subjects, and on their return
home will be questioned as to what they
saw in this country. Our orchards and
their products tell their own story, and
q comparison with any other section of
the country is to be courted. Every ad.
vantage is to be expected from such q
visit, and very hearty invitation should
be extended to the fruit growers of the
Pathological society.

A TENTAcLE OF the octopus, reaching
southwark. threatens to drag another
town into the voracious NAV OF the raw

dena, it 10 learned that the Southern
Pacific will get into town via Broadway.
II an amicable settlement can be effected
with the interested property owners,
the entrance of the road will meet with
general approval. and the city will not
suffer in consequence" Is it possible
that the people OF Pasadena are
blind to tho experience of 9TH
or communities with the Southern
Pacific monopoly? Are they not aware
that wherever this corporation secures
. foothold the people are enslaved to a
tyranny as autocratic as that OF the
Russian despotism? Let the citizens of
Pasadena take warning before it is too
late, for when tho beautiful little city
shall have succumbed to the greed and
rapscity of this corporation all hope of
progress, independence, prosperity.

tented merely to exist at the pleasure of

on the selfish bounty of a corporation

BONDS AND BOND.SMEN.

1t is probably not within the scope CT
successful denial that the city OF Los An.
geles owns the riparian privileges of the
Los Angeles river.
Under this condition the question
naturally arises Why should the people
OF this city be called upon to purchase
$4,000 worth OF questionable water
right land? Why should the city issue
bonds to that amount for the purchase
OF 400 acres OF land worth not more than
$40 an acre.
When it ia stated that 1900 acres OF
this river bottom land, including the
400 acres offered for 'hsad works" OF q
water system, has been on the market
for $4,000. the absurdity and the ami
mus OF the schsms to force the issuance
of bonds is apparent.
When the city shall require land at
the boundary between Providencia and
Los Felis ranches, or elsewhere, a COM
mission will be appointed and the land
will be appraised at its true value and
condemned for the use of the city. In
the meantime, however, this scheme to
bond the city under the plausible guise
OF "a beginning OF the city's water
works" must be strangled at it's birth.
The taxpayers must be warned to be-
ware of the insidious proposition or they
will be sRddled with another debt Of
half million dollars before they are
aware OF it.

CURRENCY CIRCULATION.

The new issues of United Staten paper
currency put into circulation during the
year amounted to $3.50, $50. 100, having
been exceeded but once, in 1892. The
amount OF worn and mutilated notes
redeemed was $3l9. O02, 200. This also
has been exceeded but once, in 1898.
The total paper circulation reached its
highest point in May last. whom it stood
at $1,175, 100000. Since then there has
been q slight contraction, caused chiefly
by the gradual redemption and retire.
ment OF gold certificates, the issue OF
which was suspended, as the law re-
quires, when the gold reserve OF the
treasury fell below 500. 100000.
Recent operations Of the treasury in
preparing and distributing the supplies
Of currency demanded by the public
have, it SCENE. been conducted with
much less difficulty than formerly, the
reason being found in the greater ease
OF the currency situation.
Bradstreet's Investigations show that
q considerable share of the autumn de-
mand for small notes has been supplied
this season by local bankers, without
assistance either from their city corres-
pondents or the treasury. Another fact
Of interest brought out in the report is
that Notwithstanding a change in tine
regulations whereby senders of national

quired to bear the charges for trans
portation, the redempticns were the
