committee decided to postpone its trip
to CalifoEois.
II, however, had made up my mind
to spend the winter in Los Angeles, in

my custom. My friend, the lobbyist,
urged me to go and attend to the real
estate business and no would remain in
Washington and learn the intent OF the
sensts commerce committee on the
hGrbor proposition and furnish me with
the tips where to buy. His intimate
relations with Senator Ransom and
other members of the committee soon
enabled him to learn that it had been
tacitly agreed upon to make the appro-
priation for Santa Monica. but in view
of the engineers report and the press-
ure brought to bear in favor of San
Pedro from other aources, this could not
be done without making some chow OF an
examination on tho part of the com
mittee. 1t waB, therefore, resolved to

"Ah, my boy, that is the point am

Don't tell me that h2rbor can be c on

harbor if one were constructed. And as

THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. c1Ncf

Secret Plans OF this Ootopls to Stab San
Pedro in tho Back.
How great the need is that every
citizen o. Southern California should
put his shoulder to the wheel and work
with might and main for the SUCCESS OF
the San Pedro harbor memorial is
scarcely realized by the average man.
How deep and dark the plot is to rob
Southern California of deep sea hsr-
Dor has yet to be told though in the
past there has besn no minclng of words
when discussing the infamy of Octopus
Huntington. in these columns, at least.
Information comes now to THE
HERALD of most dastardly plot
to stab in the back San Pedro and
the whole southern country. 1t comes
from reliable source, and ii shows that
the Neutrality-suspicious. combination has
all but succeeded in dele ating the will OF
the people OF Los Angeles, and, in fact,
OF ninety-nine one-hundredtha OF the
people OF Southern California, to have q
deep sea hsrbor located at San Pedro.
Ia spite OF the repeated reports of the
government engineers and the resolu-
tions of the California legislature, state
pei tical conventions, transmiasissipp
congress, the local chamber of com merce,
board of trade and humorous other or
ganizations, all in favor OF deep sea
harbor at San Pedro. the senate COM
merce committee has tscitly agreed to
make an appropriation for Santa Monica.
This startling piece OF information is
vouchsased by a gentleman from Phila-
delphia in close touch with the lobby at
Washington. and now sojourning in this
city. The story is beat told in his own
words as related to a HERALD represent-
ative, who, learning OF hiu presence at O
leading hotel here, and the nature OF
his mission, sent up his card aud found
the gentleman quite willing to talk,
upon condition that his identity be not
made public.

A symposium composed Of the opin-
ions of nine millionaires Of the country.
on the question whether wealth brings
happiness. is published in the New
York World, and gives the answer
unanimously in the negative. Russell
Sage. Andrew Carnegie. John ID. Rookie
Teller George Nj. Pullman, ]. w. Mac
kay, Russell Alger, Gov. Morton, jay
Cooks and Austin Corbin all agree that
the rich man is more oppressed by the
cares OF his possessions than made hap
by by the pleasures he can buy. Mr.
Carnegie is the one man OF the nine
who Is able to construct a theory that
accords with his practice; for, while he
regards his wealth as the measure of
industrial achievement, he declares
that II is only by using the accumula-
tons OF his fortune for the benefit OF
others that the rich man can get any
pleasure out OF them for himself. But
we must credit the millionaire contemn-
ers OF riches with at least theoretic
recognition OF the truth. II is undoubt-
eddy the fact that pursuit OF wealth
simply for wealth's sake, Is one OF the
most sordid and empty vanities OF the
life which, we are assured by the
preacher, is all vanity.
