LET 1T BE RoUsING DEMONSTRATION.

The HERALD has from time to time
referred to the great meeting Of the Cit
liens league and it's supporters which
has been advertised to take place to-
night at the Grand opera house. II
will be addressed by a number of very
distinguished gentlemen, amongst the
rest, by the Hon. Joseph Medill, ex-
mayor Of Chicago. There ought to be,
and doubtless will be, large and rep
resentative attendance of taxpayers at
this gathering. To suppose otherwise
would be to assume that the people of
Loa Angeles are not interested in having
good local government. If the persons
who pay the enormous taxes which are
imposed upon any one who is citizen
of both the city and county of Los An
geles cannot ind time TO attend meet
ing OF this kind he deserves to see his
already excessive tax imposts awollen to
a downright rent. Although our city, as
q considerable municipality, dates but
of taxes our citizens have to
pay are large enough for a community
that dated from the building of the grand
pyramids. As it is entirely in their
power to enforce good and economical
government, by taking an interest in
their own affairs, it behooves them to be
up and doing. Great movements OF re-
form start from precisely such begin
nings, and there is no placing a limit to
the good which may be done by such
salutary departures from the ordinary
hum-drum of cut and dried politics.
Those who go to the Grand opera house
tonight are sure to learn much that will
rebound to their individual benefit, and
they will have the agreeable conscious
ness of knowing that they themselves are
giving the impetus which will lead on to
better things. 80 let every one and his
neighbor be en- hand to aid in starting
the ball rolling. The very air is preg-
nsnt with the idea that q great change
for the better in our municipal affairs is
ahead.

nsnced and aided the flibustering OF
his party. Nobody disputes the czar's
right to vote against seating the Demo-
cratic contestant, who had won favor
able report from the committee. But
his failure to vote ct all when he was
present, and ought to have done so,
shows that his pretence of regard for
the expeditions dispatch of business,
which he advanced in support of his
original ruling, is all mere leather and
prunella. He cares nothing for the
business Of the nation. He, like his
fellows. has an eye single to mere
partizan advantage, and his conduct
shows it indisputably.

CORRECT A CLERICAL ERROR.

Modification of a Deorse by the su-
preme Court.
In the matter of the estate of Jonathan
Thompson. deceased. heretofore decided
by the supreme court, a short opinion
was received yesterday by Supreme
Court Clerk Sesnon, supplementary to
the former dicision. to correct clerical
error in the decree. 1t charged the APP
pellant with $l4.275.2l. This the su-
preme court says WAS an error, and
orders that in addition to the modidca-
tion ordered, the superior court of San
Luis Obiepo county change the figures
of tbs decree to $l2, ,l54.68.
Chief Justice Beatty, in a seperste
opinion, dissents from sn order denying
rehearing in the case.
He considers that the modification
does not rectify all the errors of which
the appellant has right to complain.
He ssys that hs considers it q grave
error to allow interest at the rate OF 10
per cent, instead OF the legal rate, per
cent,

A DUDE BuRcLAR.
Young Vivian Goes TO San Diego an
Takes Too Much.

Young Vivian Goes TO San Diego and
Takes Too Much.
Edgar W. Vivian, says the San Diego
Sun, arrived from Los Angeles yesterday
noon, and during the afternoon secured
q room in the Bon Ton building at D
and Sixth streets. Later he called on
a number of old friends, for he used to
live here. He is the son OF ex Rev.
Arthur Vivian, who figured here during
the boom, frat as preacher and next as
attorney ct law. Edgar is about 20
years of age, is we'll dressed to the
point of dudishness, and is evidently a
rapid young man. As he called on his
friends be took quite = number OF social
glasses, and in that way it happened
that he did not reach bis rooms until
about midnight. Whether he took q
nap is not known, but the next seen of
him was between 3 and O'Clock this
morning, when o. H. Cotton, manager
of the house. was awakened By his wife
in time to catch Vivian in the act of
going through HE (Colton's) trousers.
What are you doing here?" cried
Cotton.
Vivian did not wait to answer. but
lied to mis- own room, and then said no
more until TINS morning, Wnen ne talked
the matter over with Chief OF Police
Brenning. The latter went to see Col
ton, and shortly afterward he was before
Police Judge Dudley.
In the course of the arraignment
which followed Vivian confessed the
burglary, but claimed he did it while
he wac very drunk and really not in q
condition to know he was robbing any
body.
The story was rather inconsistent,
however, as the fact was revealed this
morning that he had entered three
rooms in the house, one OF them being
the room OF q sick man on an upper
hoor. He had there obtained a pocket
book with $3.50. The other room was
that OF q bootblsck, and smaller amount
OF money was obtained. The two pocket
books were found in the mattress of
Vivian's bed.
After the examination he was held for
trial in the superior court on a charge OF
burglary. He states that he has been
living in Los Angeles with his mother.
His father has been practicing law lately
in Portland and Seattle.

pride were stirred9 and it appears that
while the cooperation of the pupils ia

THE Express tries to break the force
of our arraiymnsnt OF the disastrous ef-
fects Of the Mckinley bill by parading
a lot OF figures, which simply show that
there was some vitality in the country
until the Mckinley bill got in its deadly
work. 1t takes some time even for the
virus of the rattlenake to become ops-
rative. That measure has resulted in
the evils we particulsTized, viz, over
production ana consequent stagnation
of labor, the curtailment OF our European
markets, and the return of our securi-
ties in large amount, with . consequent
drain of gold. In this brief note we
have not followed the order observed by
us yesterday, but the summary is the
same in essentials. Its justice will be
disputed by nobody who is not anxious
to buttress the Republican party.

AROUND Los a pgeles just now in state
guard circles there is great indignation
snent the uniform scandal which has
been extensively discussed in the papers
of California. There is more than
suspicion that there has been jobbery in
this matter, and there is a certainty Of
absolute hogging. The uniforms are
shoddY and the money has all been
epent up north. "Why," the local sol
diery ask, "Why was that portion Of
the states money which should have
been spent for uniiorming the Los Ange-
lea portion of the state guard not spent
in Los Angeles?" This is a question
which Adjutant-General Allen and his
associates will find it hard to answer.
Major Drittil has stirred up a whole
menagerie, and if he stands by his guns
there will be good deal of liveliness in
state army circles. The HERALD cannot
for it's life see why the Los Angeles and
Southern California MERGERS and tailors
ehould have been utterly ignored. As
the board entrusted with such matters,
of which the sx-Angelefio, Adjutant-
General Allen, ia the ex-oficio head,
started out to pursue this invidious pol
icy, the least they could have done
would have been to steer clear of shoddy
and to have been open and above board.
As it is, the local soldiery have to con-
front both iobbing and a hogging
