A BsLIsARIUS BsGS.

Not the least of the calamity shrek
ers against the Wilson tariff bill is that
aged apostle of law tariff in bygone days,
ex-senator Morrill,. In 1861 congress
passed tariff bill introduced by this
gentleman, which has since, for the sake
of direct reference, borne his name. lie
was then 81 years old, and is now "a,
lust trifle too old to keep up with the
proce ssion," or to be abreast OF current
events to any great extent.
Now he wants to see the oppressive
Mckinley tariff retained, and predicts
nothing but the very direst misfortunes
to the United States if the Wilson bill
passes the senate and receives the ap'
proyal of the president. In 1864 his was
the voice to first advocate an increased
tariff over that introduced by himself
three years previously; and he said that
if the tax advocated by him WAS en-
forced, it would yield ample revenue for
all needs of the government, which was,
it must be remembered, at that time
engaged in the bitterest civil war Of
modern times.
Now, with the nation at peace with
all mankind: with the smallest navy in
the world when our population is con-
4 sidered; and with less of standing
army than is kept mp by half dozen OF
the smaller German gfincipalities that
would not make an average American
county in area, now this ancient blind
guide wants to see ths Mckinley tariff
kept up, although it taxes nearly every
import twice aa much as did the tariff
bill which was enacted in the middle o!
our civil war. When that tariff OF Mr..
MorrilPs was enacted, he consented tc
an internal revenue tax OF FIVE per cent
on domestic manufactures, as an amend
ment to his bill. That five per cent tex
on domestic manufactures was repealed
more than a quarter of a century ago, anC
vet no effort has been made to decrease
the taxes on importstions to which i
WAS made coinoident.
At the time the Morrill, tariff was in
augura,ed, the author of that measure
WAS regarded as one OF the safest anC
ablest men i'll either house OF congress-

A Point In the Settlement of the ID


A Point In the Settlement of the Du-

Judge Shaw yesterday Overruled de-
murrsr to the counter claim in the case
OF Duhalde vs.. Etchepare, in accord
ance with short opinion filed in the
case.
The case arose over the settlement OF
the estate OF Armand Duhalde. In the
course of the opinion the court says !:
THE defendant received the money as
the trustee of an express trust, and he
was charged with the duty as such trus-
tee of Supplying the money to certain
specific purposes stated in the agree
ment under which he received it, and
he was thereby as much bound to paw
DaTancette and himself az he was to
hold the balance for the plaintiff. The

after an investigation into charges OF re-

A VAST EXPANSR OF TRIBUTARY
WEALTH.

The irrigation congress held in this
city last October attracted world wide
attention. Representatives from Eu-
rope, India, Australia and other foreign
lands attended the congress snd took
part in the proceedings. While the
subject ie OF very great Importance to
the people OF all those countries, yet the
work of the congress resulted mainly in
drawing the attention of the people of
Europe to the irriGable lRnds of CalIfor-
mia. Other states and territories have
great tracts Of land that may be irri-
gated, as Kansas, Colorado, both Dsko-
tas, Nebraska, Idaho and Arizona, and
all OF these were represented in the con-
gress. But since that meeting the deep
est interest in California lands that may
be irrigated has been shown By the
people OF the states and territory named.
During the past winter representative
men from several OF the states named
came to Los Angeles and made careful
examination of lands in Southern Cali
fornia. The object OF this investigation
was to determine if large tracts of land
can be found here upon which water
can be supplied for irrigation, and the
cost per acre of getting the water on to
the land not be SO great as to be bar to
the purchase of the lands by men of
small capital.
The largest area of good land anu
most abundant supply of water
hat may be utilized at moderate
cost is the region that can be
supplied with water from Owens river.
Owens valley is in Tnyo county and con-
tsins about five hundred thousand acres
Of tillable land. About thirty miles far
ther south ia another valley that con-
tsins four hundred thousand acres. The
county lines OF Inyo, Kern and San Ber-
nardino meet in this valley, and part
lies in each county. The center of this
great tract is about fifty miles north
from Mojave. From the north boundary
line OF Los Angeles county to the south
line OF Inyo county, the distance is about
sixty-seven miles.
1t is very clear that it will be Of great

That this will be an accomplished fact
in the near future appears to be beyond |
doubt.
A caral is now in course of construc-
tion that will convey water to irrigste
about 300, 900 acres. A large force is al
work upon the canal and great deal OF
work is already done. This enterprise
has been carried on so far without any
effort on the part of the promoters to
attract attention. But the facts are
known to many people at and near Los
Angeles. and interest in the subject is
now widespread.

SLICK MR.. THOMPSON.
HE NEEDED A LITTLE CASH TO
BUY THE CONSERVATORY.
And When He Got the Money He Folded
His Bartondsrs's Apron and
Stole Away Out of
Sight.

A very slick operator has left the city
for parts unknown. The party whose
abrence is mourned is a bar tender
named J. Thompson, who until lately
was ons OF the scientific mixologists en-
ployed at James Lawson's "Conserva-
toire," on West Third street. According
to the story told to the district attorney
by some of the victims, the following are
the main points about his career:
On Saturday Thompson approached F.
3. Leck, and after informing him that
he was about to buy out his employers
establishment, the only obstacle being
lack OF couple OF hundred dollars,
boldly struck Mr. Leck for that amount.
Not only was the unsuspicious Leck
pleased to loan him the small balance
needed, but after drawing a check in
favor OF Mr.. Thompson he accompanied
him to the Los Angeles National bank
and identified him.
The next victim worked on idsnticslly
the same lines was J. G. Stuart, proprie-
tor of the King restaurant, 120 West
Second street, who dropped $50 into
Thompson's purse.
Another strike contemplated by
Thompson, OF far greater magnitude
than the two others, did not meet with
success not for the failure of his per-
sonal magnetism, but because the man
whom he attempted to swindle was too
busy to get away and hand over 5000 to
the future proprietor of the Conserva.
toire. The lucky individual who thus
saved his bank account from the in
roads of Thompson's grasping hand is a
man who runs fish market on West
Third at rect.
Thompson was to repay all loans on
Monday, but he has not been seen since
that time, and nobody knows where he
has gone to. AS he did not obtain the
loans of money. as far as Rscertsined,
by M cans of false pretepseE, there is
no chance open for bringing him back
here, if he can be found. by criminal
process, and nothing remains for the
lenders but to mourn silently the gold
that has departed.

A we'll attended and enthusiastic

prominent Catholic citizens, there were
also present many people from the Pro-

Andrew Mullen presided and Mr..
Dockweiler acted as secretary. Various
reports were received and the details OF
the reception discussed ct considerable

THERE should be g searching investi-
cation Of the armor.plate ecandal by
congress, as the presideIl and secretary
OF the navy are both practically disqual-
ified for conducting such an investigs-
tion through their own action. If such
crime against the nation has been COM
mitted, as Mr.. Burgess McLuckie de-
scribes, then it is equivalent to treason,
and Carnegie and Frick should be pun
ished as traitors. But congress is the
proper one to investigate this matter be-
cause congress- appropriated the money
which has been misspent upon this de-
fective srmor. Mr. Herbert, secretary
OF the navy, looked the matter
up and ordered a fine OF $400 900
TO be entered up against Carnegie'a
outfit as penalty. The president then
took 1t upon himself 10 adiudicate upon
the merits of the case and reduced the
fine to $140, 900 when he knew that the
fine should have been increased if lamp
cred with at all. 1t is therefore plainly
to be seen that neither the president nor
Mr.. Herbert IS a tit or proper person to
conduct such an investigation. There

If THE superintendent OF streets will,
some day, when he has nothing else to
do, pile into his buggy and take a drive
through Main street he will be surprised
to find great many chuck holes. In
making the trip he should exercise
much care lest. unfortunately, he be
thrown out and find himself sprawling
upon the ground. These chuck holes
are very bad and if the superintendent
would borrow the mayors horse, which
is a tanner animal than his own, he
would incur less liability to injury in
getting through the street; and this is
recommended, as we would not like to
be held responsible in any way for an
accident to any public functionary.
This condition of that street was OBJ
served the day the fiesta procession
passed along, but the superintendent of
streets was then on horseback, and
prancing along probably did not notice
anything go far beneath him, but as
now and then the wheel of float went
maieenu, T~snsar athIstas. or %nar

hold on to. 1t ia the most fortunate
thing in the world that all escaped with

happen to go that way it might continue
