WHEN the average Republican editor
iu at loss for something to say he in
variably falls back upon the snormitiss
Of Democratic rule in New York city.
Tammany Is then sure OF the sweep-
stakes of abuse. Now, as a matter Of
fact. il the government OF the city and
county of New York cost the people Of
that city as much, regard being bad to
the different valuations OF the two cities,
ss that OF the city and county Of Los An
geles, IL would need nearly az much to
run the metropolitan city OF the conti-
nent as it does to run the national gov
ernment. There ie really NO sxagera-
tion about this statement. Throwing
out pensions, 1t would cost quite As
much. Cant and twsddle, Mugwump
depreciation and Republican TRADES to
the contrary notwithstanding, New York
is a cheaply and we'll governed city and
county, while the government OF the
city and county of Los Angeles is ruin
ously expensive. The wonder is that
the taxpayers do not rise in their might
and bring the robbing despotism to an
end. The tax rate Of the city of Pitts
burg is eleven mills on the dollar. Ours
is 80 large that we are appalled, whom
we hear it mentioned. 1t is no doubt
true that the valuations may be differ
ent. But when Los Angeles taxpayer
is confronted by the taxes he has to pay
in times like these his hair is apt to
rise on his head like quilts upon the
fretful porcupine.

by large majority. Under this gentle
mans administration many reforms
we're introduced. which for many years
made Chicago the bsst governed city in
the country.
Mr.. Harman is wealthy resident Of
Brooklyn, N. Y. where he has been q
member Of the board of supervisors. the
governing body of the city, and has
much to do with local affairs. He took
q leading part in the late uprising OF the
people Of that city against boss rule, in
which the politicians were defeated by
over 10000 majority.
Both OF these gentlemen have spen t
many years in the study of municipal
government and their remarks will un-
doubtedly be well worth hearing.

IT is quite true that it is now pretty
we'll advanced in March, and if we are
to have any seasonsble rains the limit
has been very nearly reached. But at
the same time it is astonishing to note
the really fine condition of crops in
nearly all directions. We are not speak
ing from hearssy, but from personal OBJ
servstion. This is in line with the out
givings of the local official weather de.
partment given to the press the day be-
fore yesterday. The Highest rain seems
to do more good now than q hes Wy
downpour in ordinary years. Still,
certain amount of moisture is essential,
and we are pretty near the limit OF time.

A Hearing Given on Petition to Fix
Water Rates.
The board of supervisors yesterday
gave hearing upon the petition Of the
Azusa Land aRd Water company to fix
the rates for furnishing water for irriga-
tion and domestic purposes.
The hearing brought number of reai-
dents OF Azusa before the board, as well
as Mr.. Slauson for the water company.
Assistant District Attorney Utley was
before the board, and said that Mr..
6laueon's documents were not complete.
They were reports. Mr.. Utley com
planned that they did not contain the
names OF the persons who had paid
water rates.
After hearing the presentation of Mr..
Slauson's petition, the board took some
testimony against fixing of water rates,
and then the matter was continued until
today to enable Mr.. Slauson to perfect
his reports OF the business of the COM

THE poet Horace many years ago re-
ferred to the mountain groaning, and
the exit of q pitiful little mouse there
upon and from Hereunder. The grand
jury thus does not seem to have accom-
plished much. Thus far the only bust
ness done by it has been the finding Of
six indictments against Al Cobler and
three against the Messrs. Simon Msier,
Charley Gassen and Louis Struber for
maintaining q nuisance in their butcher
shops. This looks to ne very much like
trifiing with the matter. The public has
strained its ear to hear some intimation
that this body has any intention of pro-
ceeding against higher game. There
have been many scandals in this COM
munity of late that have needed prob
ing. They relate to genuine public
grievances, and to persons prominent in
the community. 1t is such matters that
the voters OF Los Angeles desire to see
probed.

UNITY OHURcH.-A very interesting
lecture Was delivered by Miss Jeanne
Sorabji on The Women of India. Miss
Sorabji is young India woman who is
lecturinE il this country, endssvoring
to raise funds to establish hospital in
India for women.
The affair of last night was not at.
tended very largely, but the audience
was greatly interested. She divided her
lecture into three parts, and treated OF
the three castles of women OF her coun-
try. The Hindoos were told of first.
There is also great prejudice against
widows, who are greatly abused. Then
came the Mohammedans, who were, she
said, much better treated, the widows
especially receiving more attention.
Miss Sorabji is Parsee woman and her
remarks regarding that type were espe.
cially interesting. They were, she
claimed, in advance of the other women
OF the country and were also we'll
treated.
In all the castles are the girls given in
marriage when very young, for if they
90 beyond certain age, about IL years,
without becoming betrothed they are
badly talked about.

exclusively. A debate carried on in
Spanish, selections by the Y. NJ. O. A.
Guitar, Banjo and Mandolin club and
the association Glee club, German ex-
ercise and recitations made up an en-
joyable programme. Messrs. Petersilea,
De Lano and Moody, of the corps OF
instructors, also added to the pleasure
of the evening and were enthusiastically
encored.
The evening classes of the association
constitute valuable feature of that in
stitution. Their popularity is shown by
the fact that there are 22S entries, and
that over 40 different trades, professions
and occupations are represented among
the students.
They place educational advantages
within the reach of ambitious young
men of the most limited means. The
association is one of the most successful
opponents OF places OF evil resort. as it
provides evening occupation for between
200 and 500 men in this department
alone. The studies include commercial,
language, musical, literary and industri-
al branches.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1O.-The Burlington,
Cedar Rapids and Northern road has
thrown bomb into the Western Pas
senger association. It announced to
all the roads in the association that it
would apply short line rates from
Waterloo, Ia, to all points in Mon
tana and to North Pacific coast points
as well. The notice came as a COM
plete surprise to the association lines,
and they claim that the action of the
Burlington, Cedar Rapids and North
ern is altogether irregular. The road
causing all the trouble is member of
the association, but its notice to the
other association lines was made direct
to them and not through the associa-
ton chairman, as is usual in all such
cases. The application of the short
line rates will reduce the basing rate
from Chicago to North Pacific coast
points by So.

the steamer was Of the largest size, as
the broken timbers are all Of great
strength. In this case she probably
had crew of about 20, all of whom are
undoubtedly lost. The wreckage is
strewn along the beach for distance
of two miles. No marks whatever can
be found on the timbers and planks,
but when the sea runs down more may

Japs Easily Defeat the Chinese on Their

YOKOHAMA, Nov. l2.-Advices from
the armies commanded by Field
Marshal Count Oyama, now operating
on the Lioung peninsula, confirm the
reports of Japanese victories at Chin
Chiu (Nin-Chau) and Talienwan On
the morning OF Tuesday last one
brigade Of the Japanese forces captured
Chin Chiu and on the next day Talien-
wan was bombarded and also captured.
A British warship was at Talienwan
during the bombardment. After the
place was captured the warship started
for Che-Foo, which is across the gulf
some IS miles south of Talienwan.
A dispatch from Talienwan, Nov. 7,
from Admiral Ito, commander n-chief
OF the Japanese navy, says that the
squadron left Chiosensutauto on Nov.
6 and on the morning of the 9TH was
near Talienwan. No firing was heard
from the forts and the squadron
steamed into the bay, when the Japan
csc flag was seen flying from the forti-
fications, the guns of which were dis
mounted. An officer landed and found
only some japanese guards, who in
formed them that the commander of
the brigade had returned to Chin. Chiu.
The details of the capture of the place
were obtained and steamer was
despatched Immediately to telegraph
the news of the victory.
The official dispatches of Field Mar
shall Oyama stated that the Chinese
forces at Kin-Chau numbered 1000 in
fantry and 100 cavalry, and at Talien-
wan 5000 infantry and 100 cavalry.
The Chinese made little resistance at
either place. They retreated toward
Port Arthur. The Japanese lost only
10 men in capturing both places. The
Chinese losses were also slight
