CARD FROM MR.. REpLoGLE
Editor of The Tribune.

Editor of The Tribune
Sir:--In yesterdays issue there ap-
peared an account of a hearing before
Alderman Millar in the case Of Com
monwealth VS.. Oscar .Blackmore, in
which 1t would appear I was guilty of
using ungentlemanly language to the
attorney representing the accused. Any
one who was present at that hearing
knows that deal of bad talk passed
the lips Of the other attorney, to which
made no reply except an appeal to
the alderman in these words: ~ do not
think the language Of the attorney is
very gentlemanly or complimentary"
Mr.. Beale used the words as reported
IN the paper. you came very near
getting kicked out of the bar" etc. As
to any foundation for this remark. the
author Is very respectfully invited to
show It, And in the meantime the
members of the Lackawanna bar and
all others who know of the imputation
will no doubt cast the reproach of those
words on the man to whom II belongs
] think It but just that the papers
which have printed such an imputation
as above, as to me. will as fully publish
my reply. Very respectfully,
u. B. Replople.

ERSKINE M. ROSS

The announcement that Judge Erskine
M. Ross had been appointed United States
Circuit Judge for the Ninth Judicial Cir
cult was received in this city with uni
versal commendation. President Cleve-
land could have conferred this high honor
upon no citizen of Southern California
more deserving, nor one in whom the peo-
pie repose greater confidence. His ability
cannot be questioned, for he has proved
his capacity under most trying circum-
stances. But intellectual equipoise and
mental calibre are not the dominant quail
tiles Of Judge Ross character; neither are
they the elements upon which the popu-
larity of this jurist rests. His sense of
justice and his utter lack of fear in the
presence of powers that awe the ordinary
mind have raised him to an eminence in
the good opinion of discerning public
that few men, however generously endowed
in other respects, have succeeded in attain
ing. There is an element in human ma
ture that commands admiration from even
honest enmty. That element is embodied
in the history of the Brutus whose LOYALTY
to the state and whose transcendent per-
ception OF an ideal justice compelled him
to crush the natural yearnings of fathers
heart to send his own children to the
headsman. In Judge Ross this cold re-
gard for human weakness is developed
under modern forms of law, modified and
elaborated from the legal wisdom of the
ages. He has shown his capacity to view
unprejudiced amid the clamor of the
populace, in spite of the insidious sophis-
try of corrupt political intriguers. in def
ance of cloaked threats by men possessed
OF autocratc powers, the plain difference
of right and wrong as it is apparent to
vision trained to observe in the clear,
pure light of justice and reason.
Judge Ross has already laid the impress
of his genius and character on the history
of the country. He is today classed
among the leading jurists of the nation,
and President Cleveland has displayed
rare Judgment in placing him where his
knowledge, his integrity and his acumen
will serve as another bulwark of the Con-
stitution and the rights of the people. In
his hands, and within the scope of his
jurisdiction, the liberties of the nation are
safe-there can be no invasion of the legal
and constitutional privileges of the hum
blest citizen as long as Erskine M. Ross
sits in judgment upon the fact and its
cognate legality as it may be presented.
And he is now in position to nullify the
inherent injustice of bad law--it is well
for the people that his powers have been
enlarged and strengthened.

THE LOS ANGELES nETHOD

| 1t is evident that the leading business
men of Los Angeles are not enthusiastic
in the matter of a competing railroad
from this city to Bakersfield. They dc
not regard it as paying business propo-
sition, and so express themselves. The
fact that such road would divert the
bulk of the trade and commerce of Cen
tral California southward, and that Los
Angeles would benefit as a community,
does not appeal to the individual whose
business interests are prospering under
existing conditions. He may not be
made to see the necessity of speculative
effort, and his enterprise gradually con-
centrates to a narrow personal environ
ment.
The situation in San Francisco was diff
ferent. The merchants of that city had
so long submitted to the tyranny and OPP
preston of constituencies monopoly that
they had come to regard their condition
as inevitable and irredeemabe When
they found, however, that an effort on
their part would emancipate them from
the thraldom of the corporation, they re-
solved to help themselves. 1t was des-
peration that moved them, and they are
now surprised that they are succeeding
so easily. They realized that unless they
could lift themselves out of the slough
into which they had foundered, bank
ruptcy and commercial ruin was immi-
nent As consequence, their business
mef have decided to invest 81, 900, 0O0 or
$4,000 900 if necessary, in an enterprise
that they hope will compel the state to
cnnriy,r1o 10 tr;I I,,ta 90 : T..
short, San Francisco was rapidly losing
its prestige as metropolis, and the mer-
chants and business men of that city are
now expending vast sums to regain their
commercial standing.
Los Angeles is confronted by no such
desperate necessity. She is provided with
competition facilities, and her citizens
are not yet prepared to embark upon an
enterprise of such magnitude as the con-
centration of the traffic and trade of
the San Joaquin Valley at this point.
Moreover, it is not at all improb-
able that the Southern Pacific Com
pany may not wreak vengeance on
the businessmen of San Francisco by re-
ducing their freight between the valley
and Los Angeles to such figure that the
competing road to San Francisco will not
be able to meet them. Thus the selfish
designs of San Francisco in locating the
southern terminus at Bakersfield would
be frustrated and as a cold -blooded busi-
ness proposition, Los Angeles would have
reason to rejoice over the outcome of the
struggle.
OF course the projectors of the Valley
road can offset this advantaoe 70 Tos An
geles by extending their road from Bak-
ersfield to Salt Lake. 1t will then be time
enough to push our own Salt Lake rail
road project-provided, of course, that we
do not succeed in rousing public interest
in this proposition before that time.
The business men of Los Angeles know
what they want and they know how far
their enterprise may be extended.

HARBoR COMMISSIONER coLNoN


Some objection has been offered to the
Governors appointment of Edward Col
non as Harbor Commissioner of San Fran
cisco. This objection is by politicians
who are able to influence certain CONNER
cial interests, and it is not an objection
that has permanent weight, for its ami
mus is too apparent. Governor Budd ap-
pointed Mr.. Colnon because he had per-
sonal knowledge of his appointee's integ-
rity and ability to perform the duties of
the Office. Mr.. Colnon is a newspaper
man; and good one. He has through
the columns of his newspaper, the Stock
ton Mail, discussed questions of state
clearly and logically, indicating compre-
hensive knowledge of affairs and Offering
conclusive evidence of his fitness to
assume any position in the gift of the
Governor or other appointing power. 1t
is our opinion, ALSO that while Mr. Col
non is member of the Board of Harbor
Commissioners of San Francisco that de-
partment of the Government will deal
honestly and fairly by all concerned, or
the people will know the reason why.
The appointment of M. Colnon to this
responsible Office is another evidence of
the excellent judgment that has been
credited to Governor Budd by those who
know him.

A GOOD BEGINNING

The new board of directors of the
! Chamber OF Commerce did some good
| work at their first business session yester-
| day afternoon. They unanimously re-
elected Secretary Willard and Supernten-
dent Virgins to their respective positions
for the ensuing year. These gentlemen
have served the Chamber with such
marked ability for the past four years
that their reelection was foregone con-
| clusion. Indeed, it would be difficult to
! find anyone to fill the place of either, so
efficient have they become in their work.
With their now ripe experience they will
be able to give the Chamber even better
service in the future than in the past,
and the community is therefore to be
congratulated on their reelection.
The new board of directors also did
themselves great credit when they ap-
pointed Messrs. Freeman, Holabird and
Cole as committee to go to San Fran
cisco to confer with Claus Spreckels and
others interested in the proposed San
Joaquin Valley Railroad as to the advisa-
bility and practicability of making Los
Angeles the southern terminus of the
road.
The appointment of special railroad
committee TO take charge of all matters
pertaining to railroads and transportation
was also step in the right direction.
The personnel of that committee, which
consists of such able and public-s spirited
citizens as Messrs. Parsons, Workman,
McGarvin, Winder and Edwards, is a
guarantee that the important matters re-
ferred to them will have thoughtful con-
sideration and that the recommendations
of the committee will have much weight.
The railroad bond resolution is the first
matter this committee will have to con-
slider, and the outcome of their delibera-
ton will be watched with interest
The manufactures committee has an i'm
portant subject referred to it in the shape
of request for information as to the
facilities for the establishment of glass
factory in Los Angeles.
The Chicago drainage canal matter, re-
ferred to committee, is an interesting
subject owing to its relation to the
Nicaragua Canal project.
President Pattersons handling of the
harbor question in his inaugural address
last week has made that gentleman many
warm friends and admirers. His une-
quivocal declaration in favor of San Pedro
and his outspoken criticism of the atti-
tude of the Southern Pacific Company,
carries with it much weight in view of
the speaker being a heavy shipper over
the Southern Pacific lines Mr.. Patter-
sons address should be carefully studied
as it will likely play an important part in
the settlement of the harbor question.

CLEAN THE STREETS

The condition of the streets of city is
one OF the first and principal subjects to
attract the attention of visitors and tour
lists. The impression created by the ap-
pearance of the main thoroughfares of a
city extends frequently beyond that scope
and municipality is often condemned or
praised according to the cleanliness or
neglect apparent in its streets.
Los Angeles is the Mecca of pilgrims
from the East. Annually these arrive in
our city to escape from the inconveniences
of the winter in their own homes, and
their number will be augmented by visit
ors from all sections of the United States
and California to witness the imposing
and beautiful scenes of La Fiesta.
Consequently it is of the utmost import
anse that Los Angeles shall present an ap-
pearance on that occasion that will create
the most favorable impression. 1t is
acknowledged that clean streets indicate
healthy place of residence.
Director-General Meyberg, who has inst
returned from San Francisco, became
firmly imbued with that idea from what
he noticed in the Bay city, and he will
undoubtedly exercise his influence as a
member of the Merchants Association to
urge the adoption in Los Angeles OF the
same method now in vogue in San Fran
cisco.
While the street sweeping was done un-
der contract in that city, the condition of
the streets remained in deplorable state.
1t was not until the Merchants Associa
ton, partly moved by charitable Instincts
and partly by outraged confidence, decid-
ed to raise fund and provide work for
the unemployed. The result was that San
