even in midsummer we are increasing at

ultimately close up the gap between
Los Angeles and Santa Monica; while, as
to all other points of the compass. there
are only 270 buildings that can be count
ed as an Offset To state this fact is
really to conclude the argument. 1t
emphasizes the wisdom of the Republi-
can county convention in not allowing
the silly clamors of the Times to place
its party as stupid stone wall in the
progress of the inevitable evolution OF
Los Angeles toward its natural deep sea
harbor at Santa Monica.
Already the lines of the two places are
within eight miles of each other. Within
ten years an interminsble succession of
beautiful villas will stretch from Los
Angeles to the sea at Santa Moaica.
The trains which leave this city for the
sea today will carry three times as many
people to Santa Monica as to all other
resorts of pleasure combined. In the
face OF such fact the effsrt Of the Times
to check manifest destiny lie something
like the impotent attempt of King
Csnute to lash the waves, or of Dame
Partington to mop up the waters OF the
Atlantic ocean.

An Upiustidable Tax

Much excitement and anxiety have
been created in the minds of policy
holders in life insurance companies by
the report that the tariff bill pending
in the United States senate has been 80
shaped as to impose an exceptionally
severe tax upon them. When q few
men agree together that whichever of
them shall die prematurely his family
shall be protected from want by the
others, it does not seem reasonable that
go prudent and benefcent contract
should be subject to taxation. It is in
no sense q form of wealth nor a means
OF profit, but is solely an expense to all
concerned as long as they continue to
live; while it is an immense benefit to
society at large, by fostering habits of
prudence and preventing pauperism.
Charles Sumner was wise when, in the
debate Oh the original income tax, he
declared that tax on life insurance is
unjustifisble, even in time OF war, for
such insurance is in itself of the nature
of tax, and any burden imposed upon
it by government would be tax upon
tax. This principle seems not to be un-
derstood by some of the senators en-
gagged in framing the present bill, for
they have gone 40 tar, in the pending
amendment proposed by Senator
Vest of Missouri, as to propose
tax OF 2 psr cent upon all the
income received by life insurance COM
psnies above their expenses. This, if
enacted, would really tax all the money
deposited in such companies to be held
in reserve for the benefit of posterity.
1t would be fairly parallel to tax OF 2
per cent upon all deposits made in saw
ngs banks, and would be an exceptional
burden Of the greatest severity. There
is real danger that the fair and reason
able claims of men who have incurred
their lives may be overlooked or forgot
ten in the haste to arrive at speedy
solution Of the revenue difficulty.
Hitherto they have always been recog-
nlzed in laws imposing or modifying an
income tax. Thus the last act of the
kind passed by congress WAS in 1870,
and it expressly provided that nothing
herein contained shall apply to moneys
paid by mutual life insurance companies
to their policy holders" In England,
where life insurance is An older institu-
tion than it is here, parliament has gone
further and exempts from income tax in
individual hands moneys paid as
premiums to life insurance companies.
Many would be glad to see such
judicious and Dene6cent exemption per-
manently adopted in this country.

The 1ndustrials and the Law.

EDIToRs HERALD:. The constitution OF
the United States declares that no per-
son shall be deprived of his liberty
without due process of law, yet there
are at this moment 170 human beings
incarcerated in the Los Angeles county
jail Imprisoned with thieves. toughs and
criminals OF other sort, without even
the shadow Of legal charge against
them. These men are not offenders
against the law except that made by q
court. They are men OF industry, 80
briefly and honesty men of trades and
education. Among them are skilled
work men, mechanics and artizans rep
resenting the vocations of almost every
class. They are not tainted with any
bad design, their chief offense being a
desire to petition the general govern
ment for redress of their grievances,
The herald., 1894-06-10

and, II possible, get relief for their hun
ger and labor for their hands. Thai
their incarceration Is an outrage against
human rights, and crime against civil
liberty, Is seen by IL record of the fed
eral court ordering them into q prison
made foul by one fifth OF their number.
The court made an order that GER
tain railroad corporation, its agents,
officers and all other persons are re-
strained and enjoined from interfering
In any manner with the possessions, OF
management Of any part of the property
belonging to the railway; and on June
8, 1894, issued warrant for the srrest
OF these Captains of industry" for con-
tempt OF the order OF the court.
Section 725 of the revised statutes
authorizes the federal courts to punish
for contempt OF their authority, but ex.
pressly denies them power to impose
such punishment in ''sny cases except
the misbehavior of any person in their
presence or go near thereto ss to OBJ

to as to obstruct the administration Of
justice. None OF these suffering, foot-sore
lndustrials, crushed in hope and spirit,
have in any way obstructed the admin
istration OF justice in the presence OF the
court or in its immediate vicinity, nor
was one OF them q party to the contro-
versy in which the restraining order was
made. Their imprisonment is one OF the
wrongs resulting from a violation Of the
constitution. which every judicial Off
Ger Ia bound by his oath TO support, and
it is high time that this reckless enact
ment of court.made law, at the dicts-
tuition OF insolent corporations, should
be restrained by an imperative mandate
OF the American people. The principle
underlying the false arrest OF these un-
fortunates is dangerous 10 the liberty of
every citizen who might be considered
hostile or inimical to those misusing the
judicial power.
If these men were driven by distress
ing circumstances to appropriate the
use OF railway property ioi a few hours,
and there ia no law to punish such an
act as an offsnss, it is not in the consti-
tutionsl power of the court to make q
law covering their case. If the court
had that power there would be no need
OF a legislative branch of our govern
ment. Our people would be bound in
legal chains, without redress for wrongs
arbitrarily inflicted in the name OF JUS
tice and necessity, by shsllow-brained
despots unrestrained bv law or constitu-
tion. until the ermine of the bench, like
the lions hide, covers the tyrant on his
throne. ALvA UDELL.

CYRUS W. FIELD, the scrub who
brought his illustrious father to his
grave, died in New York city yesterday.
1t is an awful visitation of Providence
that man of intellect and integrity
may be sent into the tomb broken
hearted by the acts OF a fsvorite son,
but such WAS the record of the family
troubles of the Fields. The originator
of the Atlantic cable lived to see his boy
in the New York penitentisry. After
all, this is world of compensstions.
Neither wealth, station nor fame can se-
cure immunity from either disaster or
infamy. Illustrious as the Field family
deservedly is, it could not, with all it's
wealth and distinction, keep the brand
of the felon from its exclusive and aris-
toCratic penetralis.

WATERED THE SPIRITS.
An Inquiry That May Cause the Confis-

BALTIMORE, July 31.-Collector of In
ternai Revenue Vandiver has submitted
to Secretary Carlisle the results of an in
vestigation which 1t is said may lead to
the infiiction of the highest penalty fixed
by the revenue laws upon one of the
largest distileries in Baltimore, refusing,
however, to give the name of the firm af-
fected
The infiction of the penalty means the
confiscation of about four thousand bar
rels of distilled malt and corn juice con-
tanning $4,000 gallons now in bond and the
closing of the distillery for crooked work.
said to have been devised to avoid paying
the full amount of government tax.
The distillers were, as all others, anxious
to get their stock out of bond at the
present tax rate in view of the expected
passage OF the new tariff bill, under which
the tax would be increased about 8 per
cent if the new rate is not still further in
creased before the compromisers get
through with il. There has been a great
rush of business at the bonded ware
of the lower rate and the gaugers have
been kept busy.
The distillery in question decided to take
advantage of this pressure to get i'm their
work and save not only the difference be-
tween the. present and prospective rates,
but also the difference between the rates
would be subject in its present condition.
The present rate is 30 cents a gallon or
whisky, which shows up to the standard
of 100 or proof" but as all spirits evap-
crate while standing, the fluid generally
shows 120 or more after being in the ware
house for some months and is obliged to
pay a proportionately higher rate, averag-
ing about 25 cents a gallon additional. The
whisky is tested barrel by barrel when
put into bond, but when taken out Of the
warehouse one barrel OF lot of twenty
five or fifty barrels is tested and taken
as a standard. The government store
keeper superviseS the entry and removal
of the barrels, but the distillery employees
usually handle them, SO when the local
four thousand barrels the gauger started
in the usual way. The sample barrel Sc
lected showed only a fraction above
proof" This, unusual fact aroused the
suspicion Of the gauger and he tested the
other barrels, all of which made a much
higher showing. The matter was reported
to the collector, who made an investigation
which resulted. it is said. in his being con-
vinced that. distillery employees, knowing
which barrels would be selected as samples
