ANOTHER ROUND

According to Senator Whites mes
sage, the question of deep sea harbor
for the Los Angeles county coast is to
have its next round before the senate
committee on commerce on the 18th of
this month. If the right sort of work is
done this round can be made a telling
one for the people. A full and forcible
showing of the claims of San Pedro
and the wishes of the people of Los An
geles and vicinity as to the location of
q harbor should certainly result in at
least restoration to the bill of the item
OF $392000, inserted and subsequently
withdrawn by the house committee on
rivers and harbors, for the completion
of San Pedro's inner harbor and a suffi-
cient appropriation to allow the be-
ginning of work on the outer harbor
project. The fact that the people do
not wish the government to build a
l1arbor for the Southern Pacific should
also be finally demonstrated.
OF course the fate of the San Pedro
proposition in the senate will depend in
very large measure on Senator White.
and there is every reason to believe
that the senator's efforts will be in the
interest of the people and against the
designs of the monopolistic corpora
tion that is seeking to have the govern
cally be private affair. The Herald
feels sure that if'Southern California's
senator will make a presentation of
the issue before the committee on COM
merce IN his own mastery way. that
The herald., 1896-04-11

when the committee reports the bill
carrying appropriations for rivers and
harbors to the senate, it will be found
that in so far as that committee is con-
cerned, right has triumphed, unless the
pull ofHuntington is as tireless and
far-reaching in the upper as it is in the
lower house Of congress.
To Senator White most valuable aid
can be given by the citizens Of Los An
geles. This can be done by maintaining
a united front in behalf of San Pedro,
by persisting in refusal to yield in the
slightest degree to the specious pleas of
the alleged double harbor" advocates,
and by making personal appeals in be-
half of the harbor site intended by ma
ture, endorsed repeatedly by govern
ment experts and voted for by the peo-
pie, to every friend in Washington. or
elsewhere. for that matter, who could
be reasonably expected to influence the
acts of the gentlemen who constitute
the membership of the senate commit
tee on commerce. Before the hearing
afforded by the committee on the har-
tor matter is concluded, the popular
feeling regarding the subject should be
made so evident that there will exist in
the minds Of the senators no room for
pursue. We may be sure that Senator
White will highly appreciate every ef-
fort that is made to make easier his
task of sustaining the cause Of free
harbor for Los Angeles.

In a more 81 less rancorous way, ,discred-
iting each others accounts of the har-
Dor meetings held Wednesday evening.
A stranger in the city who would read
all that they say about each other would
have mighty hard time deciding which
paper had lied the least. The Herald
experiences a pardonable pride in the
knowledge that for it's reports of the
two gatherings held that evening it
has received warm encomiums from all
sides, and admissions of the accuracy OF
those reports even from papers favor
ing the side to which The Herald is op-
posed. 1t is the purpose of The Herald
in reporting the news to report it fairly,
and neither add to nor take from be-
cause of the sympathies or antagonisms
of the paper. The news columns of a
paper should always tell the truth re-
gardless of the interests or the individ-
uals that may affected by adherence To
the line of veracity. 1t is and will be the
policy of The Herald to report those
from whom it differs as fairly as it does
those with whom it agrees. A news
paper that does otherwise does not de-
serve to exist and will not permanent

is a sect of them called "Doppers," who
affect extreme severity and are peculiar
in their dress, manners and way of life
We quote briefly some further informa-
ton:
THE ministers of churches among
the Beers are mainly Hollanders,
though there is growing desire for
men of the country to fill these offices,
and some of them are men who have
studied at the Cape theological schools
These men having the same origin as
the Beers, their sympathies are allied
to them, and their influence will have
greater weight in advocating education
Every town boasts the somewhat odd
looking structure built in the form of q
cross. which is known to be the church.
II has its place in the center of square,
from which point the town takes its
growth. The minister generally has his
habitation within the shadow of the
walls of his church, itinerating period
