PARK ARCHITECTURE

If the bonds for improving and enlarg-
ing the parks should carry, as it now
seems probable, Los Angeles will be in a
| fair way to secure a system of public
| grounds commensurate with her size
! and her reputation as resort and city
OF homes, One fact which will give num-
ber of votes for these bonds is that the
Park Commissioners. with whom will rest
the responsibility of expending this
money, are all men OF high standing in
this community who can be relied upon
to use good business judgment in the
| work.
1t is point perhaps not generally un.
| derstood by the public that the most diff
cult as we'll as the most important part of
| the construction of park is the laying
out of its plan. Park designing has come
| to be a science in which the skill OF the
| engineer, the artist and the naturalist are
all combined 1t is as different from
| landscape gardening as the work of the
inventor is from that of the mechanic
AS there is u limited amount of this work
to be done there are few expert men in
this line to be found in the county. They
are known as park or landscape architects
In Europe, where the nobility and the
royal families are accustomed to Law out
grounds on more extended scale than
is done by single individuals in this
country, and where great deal of money
is spent for the construction of parks and
systems OF boulevards for the people the
profession is more generally practiced
When the Worlds Fair grounds were to
be constructed in Chicago, before a single

ana the arrangement which was finally
aIopte |, W iich secured the largest possi-
ble amount OF space or exhibit room to-
gether with the most beautiful symmetry
OF desi gn was evolved from the brain of
this gifted man, just as were also the
grounds at Del Monte and much of the
general plan of Golden Gate Park in San
Francisco.
The services of a landscape architect
contribute as much on the side of econ
omy as they do on the side of beauty
lll-devised an. haphazard work usually
fails to give the results that are sought in
the construction of the park, without
which the whole undertaking might as
well have been left undone. Examples of
this sort are not far to seek in many West
ern cities. where PARKS built by local land
scape gardeners of fair ability had to be
entirely remodeled at a good deal of ex-
pense. The need of park architect in
creases, moreover, in direct proportion to
the size of the undertaking. A man may
perhaps succeed in constructing shed or
barn without expert assistance but
when it comes to building of any size,
the best way to save money and get salts
factory results for what you expend is to
employ competent architect.
If Los Angeles is to have general sys-
TEN OF parks, connected by boulevards.
after the manner of the larger Eastern
cities, it is necessary that they should be
laii out under some one consistent plan
ana Tor that purpose the services of some
hrst-class landscape architect should be
secured, for much patchy, aimless work
has already been one. A consistent and
competent designer would do away with

REDUCE PUBLIC EXPENDITURES

This seems to be the motto of Governor
Budd. The Legislature which at the start
made pretensions of economy saddled
upon the taxpayers an unprecedented
burden so far as its action is concerned
and had it not been for the nerve and
virtue of the Governor the state rate of
taxation would have been largely in
creased. The Governor has kept his
word with the people and his action will
be appreciated and rememb bered.
The action of the Legislature was dis
appointing. The mem bers of the major
ity party had not the courage to curtail
its own expenses, it kept its superhuous
attaches in spite of its pretensions, and
the popular demand for economy. The
hangers-on and political ma nipuators
were too much for the embers; they
yielded to opportunities and demands on
account of political services at the ex-
pense of the publ welfare.
The Legislature was at fault not only on
account OF its extravaganza, but for not
simplifying our system and for failure to
abolish unnecessary Offices in city and
county governments. The law creating
city assessors and city and cou. ty tax
islature proved not to be an improvement
on its predecessor, except possibly in the
matter of boodling, at least there was
not as much talk during the session of
corruption as in former sessions We are
thankful for any improvement and If
there were no boodlism an advance was
surely made
1t is evident that officials in California
are not yet fully convinced that the peo-
pie are earnest in the cause of reform,
but they will be convinced unless we
mistake the trend of public sentiment.
No individuals or party can stem the cur
rent that has already set in, and which
is destined to be accelerate as time pro-
ceeds. The times are hard business is
dull and labor is out of employment. It
is under such circumstances that the
people watch and reflect. In PROSPEROUS
times people are less attentive to the pub
lie interests, they do not then feel so
keenly the effect of extravaganza aud
official derelicton.
The next Legislature, We upine. will
have greater regard for the public in
te, ests than for individual advantage or
party success. Whoever betrays his trust
or neglects to perform his whole duty
must be set aside. and a party that does
not hold its officials up to the standard
OF excellence must be defeated at the
polls. When the seal OF disappro baton
Is put upon delinquents with inexora bic
certainty and it is understood that that
Is to be the governing principle, then
legislators and all officials will be careful
as to their conduct
There were undoubtedly good men and
members in the Legislature but unhappilv
there were not enough of them to give
good reputation to the whole.

HARMLESS BUT QUEER

The mania OF the philatelist is to the
average mortal one OF the most singular
OF all the queer wheels that turn in the
human mind. The fact that some of the
most intelligent and cultivated people in
dulge in the longing for old postage
stamps does not make the mania less
difficult of comprehension to those who
do not participate in it.
Recent dispatches from New York CITY
tell Of auction sales OF rare stamps where
sums ranging from 500 to $3.50 were paid
Tor individual stamps of various coun-
tries. scientific man might be willing
to pay considerable amount for a rare
specimen. the classification of which
might contribute something to huma
knowledge; the lover of art might be
VIII ing to go to a great deal of expense to
secure some beautiful picture-but why
should anybody pay $3.50, or 2SO cents for
that matter for a small piece of paper
bearing an Indifferent design and con.
tributins nothing to art science, ltera-
ture or history?

new II0noy SouuoreuCe
To the Editor OF The Herald: You
say in your very clear article on "The
Monetary Conference" that "it can
do no harm and may possibly do some
good" In this point alone think you
err. A new international monetary con-
ference will have the effect to postpone
indefinitely the remonetization of silver
and will thus do vast amount OF harm.
These conferences are not created by nor
are they the servants of the common peo-
pie, and new one like the rest would be
sure to fall under the control of European
money changers. The voice of one Roths-
child would have more weight in it than
seventy million Americans. 1t would.
with great certainly, prove to be like
those Of the past fraud and delusion.
There is not the least likelihood that
new conference would como to an
agreement favorable to silver, but should
it unexpectedly do so. its conclusion
would be but mere recommendation
other gold standard governments. Those
governments would still, under the dicta-
tion of the money power. keep silver
under such restrictions as the Roths-
childs and British creditors might deem
to their advantage.
The only way out of our financial
trouble is to ignore all such patent hum
bugs as international silver conferences
and following the dictates Of common busi-
ness, coin and put in circulation as
rapidly as practicable the silver of the
country. The United States is abundant
ly able to pursue this course and without
doubt it would speedily relieve us from
our present unexampled depression. 1t
would restore the value of farm products
and put the wheels of industry in motion
again.
Many of us firmly believe that the low
down object of international monetary
conferences is to fasten more firmly upon
the world the odious single gold standard.
Such has certainly been the result of
those that have been held in the past and
no different result will flow from the one
that is now pro osed. The representative
OF the common people in such conference
held in Europe is like the poor boy at
frolic. He is hardly in it. G. C.

CARlISLE'S SPEECH.
The Same Speech John Sherman Has Made

Time and Again.
COLUMBUS, OHIO, May 21.-Allen w.
Thurman, chairman of the Democratic
State Committee, said to-day concern
ing Secretary Carlisle's speech at Gov
ington, Ky:
with the history of the subject 1t is
simply laughable to think that the
great Secretary of the Treasury, in de-
fence of the administration and sound
money, has been compelled simply to
make the same speech that has been
made by Senator John Sherman each
year for the last twenty years. 1t is
almost dead copy, and has been an
swered over and again until people are
weary of it.
The same dishonesty pervades it as
does the copy from which it is taken,
but in the case of Mr.. Carlisle it is
worse, because he >pretends to be a
Democrat, and states that Democratic
Senators, and among them my father,
Allen G.. Thurman voted for the act OF
1873, he trying to create the impress
sion all the while by his statement

STATE. Dies II washi.gss..
Hon. Walter Quinteu Gresham,
Secretary Of State, died in Washing
ton on Tuesday morning. May 2sth
at LIS o'clock. He Vas sixty-fve
years old. He had been a-man Of
affairs and spent . busy life. He
was born In Harrison county, Indi-
ana March 18th 1882 He entered
the Union Army in 1851 a. q 1t
Colonel, and retired . Major Gener-
al. He was severely wounded Ut
Atlanta, Ga, and was awarded q
pension for life, but stopped receiv-
ing it when he became q member of
the cabinet He had held several
prominent Offices, among them .
cabine. position under Prendent
Arthur as Postmaster General, and
under Cleveland as Secretary of
State. He was spoken of as q can
didate for the Presidency in 1892 on
the Populist ticket He had been
regarded as q strong Republican up
to that year, and was then Judge Of
the 9TH U. s. judicial circuit under
appointment by President Arthur.
He resigned this position to accept
the Office of Secretary of State un-
der President Cleveland.
While he has held this Office,
many things of international impor-
lance have occurred which called for
the gravest consideration, and it is
said that his end was FASTENED by
overwork.
Mr.. Gresham was not a brilliant
man, but he secured the warmest re-
gard of those most closely associated
with him. In his domestic relation
he was exemplary. He realized that
the end was approaching, and his
constant suggestion, made in feeble
whispers to his daughter, was: "Look
out for your mother; give Ler all
your attention; don't worry about
me-"
