THE MATHE US BILL.

As is we'll known, the people Of Fresno
and other cities in the San Joaquin val
ley have recently been sgitsting the
matter OF connecting themselves with
as br railroad for the purpose Of making
.bia city he market for their products,
snd opening trade with our merchants,
whose huoiness already extends lar
sboys tho Tehechepi mouatsirs. The
feeling thus msnifestsd 10 warmly
reciproceted by our people. and being
devoted to the work of building up Los
Angeles, THE HERALD entered heartily
into the enppcrt of the schepo and waz
ready to sdvocsta sny feasible PROVOST
ton for accomplishing the deeirad object.
Knowing thss it Is difficult 10 secure
capital for railroad building, and that
there wera powerful influences that
would be brought to bear against tue
construction OF road from this city TO
Fresno or elsewhere in the San joaquin
valley. Senator Mathews conceived the
idea of giving the people the power to
use their credit to build such a
road. This bill opens the way for
affording the means for its con-
strnction. The bill he proposed and has
in .rodueed must be general in its ma
ture, as it does afford the means, II the
people desire. OF building that road.
The HERALD supported the m easure, be-
lieving that while it tended to accom-
plish the objsct the people OF Los An
eeles and the San Joaquin valley had in
view, the general principle was not an
incorrect one, for nothing is more dem
ocrstic han to permit tho people to do
what they please with their own.
Opponents OF the measure now
claim objections to the bill we're
not that it authorizes the people
to pledge their credit to the build
ing OF the road to Fresno. but to
building a road from the north line to
the south lice OF the state, or roads
which have no trsnscontnental connec-
tions; that the assertion that short lines
are of no value did not apply to road
that has transcontineatal con
nections, as one would have
which terminated at Los Angeles.
Argument az ainst the building of a road
which "begns nowhere and ends no.
where" should be addressed to people
before whom such proposition is pond
ing, and not against the Mathews bill.
II the objectors could have any effect
it would be to defeat the
Mathews bill as q whole, and Gomez
quently q means of building the road
from this city into the San Joaquin
valley. The objections urged, how
ever, are epecious and frivolous.
such as would be suggested, far
the want OF valid ones, to the minds of
persons interested to defeat the valley
road. II we used strong language in
regard to the position OF those
opposing the project it was because
tho circumstances justified it. If
one would show his loyalty and
devotion to the locality in which he
lives he must aid thu enterprises calcu-
lated to benefit it and not en- barrass and
retard by laborsd and sophistcal OBJ
jections.

HAVE you signed the San Pedro har'
Dor N emorial?



Even in this year of 'lack OF confidence"
and industrial hard times. the city OF Los An
geles shows signs of healthy growth and mate
rial prosperity The Angel city is among the
10 cities in the United States which show an
increase in their annual bank clearings for
1894 over the preceding year. The value OF
her real estate transfers and the amount in
vested in buildings during the last year doubt
less exceeds that of any other city OF equal
population in the world. This rapid growth
which Los Angeles is undergoing is not alone
due to her splendid natural advantages, but in
large measure TO the Chicago enterprise by
which that city is backed. Many of her lead
ing citizens received their business training
in the Windy city, and are applying here the
same methods which have made OF that city
the commercial metropolis of the world.

resignation makes another test of the
question whether the French people are
capable of maintaining q republic.
Theirs can be no rational doubt as to the
result. for Boulangism has disappeared,
Bonapartists Ere disappearing. and the
memory of Bonrhonism ia freaa in the
minds of ths French people, though its

crat adds this: "lhe raisin growers OF this

This is enormous. We're these same growers

The San Francisco Ca makes a further
apology for the iaaction OF the Traffic associa-
ton, and another and Intellectual appeal to the
valley people not to look towards os Angeles
for a solution to their dlhcutiss in this wise:
Our esteemed interior exchanges have
opened fire on San Francisco This city is held
up to ali sorts OF oiious Comparisons We are
told how Chicago became the secon city in
the United States. and how Los Angeles is
reaching out to gather in trade that by natur
location belongs to San Francisco. There are
a good many interior papers, and tn /. most of
them do not hesitate u express their opinion.
The burden OF their attack is upon the Traffic
association which has taken more tim
than our C itic' think necessary to raise
the sum ne ded to inc rporate the san
joaquin Valley railroad The Call has already
explained that the delay is due to precautions

two or three objec' lessons in the way of build
ing competing roads. We have en- roads
that were intended to compete su render to
the corporation they were intended to regu
late. There would be no :rcub n getting
money to build road through the valley as a
speculation. good many investors or capt.
talists that might becom investors, want the
privilege of selling ID 'ir stock VIII they may
so elect. We do not think our interior critics

yet her newspape Seven the outspoken Re-
port-keeps urging the siurians to put their
best foot forward in the grab for the rich val
ley products. Now it tries to bolster up the
cause and show them way out OF it. OF
coarse, the merchants, who would be immedi-
ately benefited b. the roai are not the ones to
build it, says the Report Oh, no. But the
real estate men, whose in terests are the same
as the interests OF every property owner in the
city and no more and no less they are tn .
ones to build it. They are the prope' ones to
build it-after the silurian merchants have
crawtshed thinks the Report In extenso it
lays:
'Who should build the valley road? 1t will

cisco They ought to build it. Things are
taking such a tn that they must build it or
lose more than they can afford to lose. The de-
velopment OF Los Angeles is not due to the
merchants of that city; but is the work OF the
real estate owners and the same may be said
of st. Louis, the most soundly prosperous city
in the United States today The merchant is
but a bird of passage, ii he so will The capt.
aist can take himself and his money to New
York tomorrow if he will. But the real estate
owner is anchored, and when the merchant
goes the real estate owners tenan is gone and
the property that formerly yielded an income

She Called Him Grover.

From the Washington Evening Star.
A lady who is now visiting friends
IN Washington recalls very amusing
experience which happened when she
was here several. years ago and Mr..
Cleveland was serving his first term in
the White House. She, with large
number of others, was 1t one Of the
tri-weekly presidential receptions, and,
like some others. when she came TO
shake hands with the president, got .
triae ratified and forgot the pretty
speech she intended to deliver. In
stead, she grasped the presidents 3
hand, and looking earnestly In bis
face, said: "How do you do, Gro
verP" She Is pretty woman, and the
president Is not averse to looking at a
pretty woman, and even squeezing her
hand. He held on to her hand and
looked in her face, which finally
became scarlet. although she could not
refrain from laughter, especially rs
the president was laughing rather
heartily himself. After waiting q few
seconds, which seemed an hour to the
lady, he replied: al am very we'll,
indeed, and very happy to have met
you."
