She is Miss Blanche Sully, and her father

painter of portraits. In 1887 he went to
England with commission from the
st. Georges society to paint the portrait
of young Queen Victoria. He took his
daughter with him, and as she was very
nearly of the same stature as the queen,
she sat for the figure in her fathers pic

THE GARBAGE QUESTION

Editor Herald: Your editorial in Sum-

! hope, with others in this neighbor-
hood, you will keep the good work up.
Your paper is always on the side of
right, SO fight it out for us poor tax
payers. The garbage men are having
things all their own way. 1t is only a
short time ago that / had a receptacle
made - with cover - for garbage, and
the way it has been handled by the
poor over-worked garbage collectors is
beyond me. 1t looks as if it had seen a
dozen summers, and the Lord knows
how many winters.
The collectors have never at any time
half emptied the tin, and there 1t is
left week after week to tester and breed
disease. Use all means in your power
to fight against leaving garbage on
sidewalks. where it draws all manner of
blowflies and vermin, and when emptied
left turned over with cover off, sight
TO behold.
The garbage is hardly ever collected
on our street till nearly noon, and there
it remains on the streets of our other
wise beautiful city.
There are plenty of idle men who
would only be too glad to get the work
to keep body and soul together. Let the
garbage contractor be made to hire more
help. They are paid to have it done
right.

supposed to have been Nassau Ollaimh,
the son of the bard" corrupted later in
to McInally.
Among those who have recovered con-

sherman, who is said to have given or
ders for the building of fifty houses on
land owned by him al Washington. His
holdings of Washington real estate are
estimated to exceed $1,00O,0OO.

other excuse for the existence of any

other excuse for the existence of an,
corporation.
Our courts have leaned to different
and more favored consideration of cor
poration in general as compared to
municipal corporations. The one, how
| ever, owes its existence as much as does
the other to the theory that it is for the
public good Private benefit is a mere
and is always subservient to the main
reason for their creation. This is the
public good.
If corporation was to bring in new
and better supply of water than the city
company now has there is no law or in
depreciation of law to protect the pres
ent city company against such compe-
tition. Neither should there be an in
depreciation of law that would degrade
municipal corporation. which is strictly
and entirely for the general benefit of
all, below common corporation, which
has direct personal benefits as its OBJ
ject as well as the general advantage
The city should be able to do what any
corporation could do to secure pure and
cheap water to its citizens.
The citizens of Los Angeles are in
favor of the public distribution of the
city water. This city water belongs to
them as citizens

to pay a fair price for the plant of the
old water company.
What the citizens do not care to do
is to continue any longer the present
private control of public property. Nor
do they wish to pay a vast sum for titles
that do not exist.
1t is their large in fact tremendous.
margin of money between what is prop
erly due. and what is feared will be
sought that creates the intense interest
in their election.
If the water company does not intend
to claim double it's due, or to use public
officers whom it may be able to get into
office to secure vast sum from the citi-
zens and property owners for things it
does not own, it has only to say so.
All the water company has to do is to
come out frankly with a statement of
what it intends to claim. If this Is a
value not in excess the citizens will
gladly pay the price.
The citizens of Los Angeles are not
only fair minded, but liberal.
They are not interested in haggling
over few thousand dollars on the plant.
The citizens are afraid, however, that
the city water company's active po-
litical campaign indicates an intention
to strike for an enormous price.

WATER
We think.

Water water, everywhere, and not
cent to pay. This is the last sprinkle
out of the political watering cart.
Whether the people who use water pay
in proportion to their use for maintain
ing a city water distribution or whether
the water system is supported by a gem
eral tax regardless of the use of the
water is no part of the present contro-
versy. This suggestion is a diversion.
1t is a discussion of the city's policy in
water distribution after it controls the
water. The question befose the people
is what they are to pay to the city water
company, now that it's franchise expires
How much is the city to pay on resum-
ing the distribution of it's own water?
of opinion upon this subject is over a
million and half of dollars.
This difference grows out of the diff
ferent views of what the city is paying
for On the companys side we under
stand that the claim is that
the price paid them should be
upon the basis of a seven or eight per
cent investment Of say last years net
returns.
The defect of this basis has two i'm
mediately apparent points:
First-That the plant is constantly
deteriorating and that a sufficient sum
should be charged into sinking fund to
provide for this before any true net re-
turns can be figured
Second-That this basis takes in and
includes the value of the franchise and
the value of the water. When the fran
chise expires it has no value, and can
not be figured in and the value of the
water cannot be included, because it be-
longs now and always has belonged to
the city. The plant of the water COM
pany is the only thing to be paid for.
The city water company cooperation is
no more sacred corporation to over
ride law and justice than is the corpora
tion of the city of Los Angeles.
Both are artificial creations. Both
exist and both were created solely upon
the ground that their existence would
be for the public benefit. There is no

MORE DREAMERS

The Herald is in receipt of circular
letter signed by some seventy Califor-
mans, calling for the organization of
what it calls a Public Ownership Par
ty." The prospectus outlines the pol
Icy of the new party, and says it's prin-
ciples are the outgrowth of a universal
demand for social reform. 1t is no sur
prise to find public ownership of all
business interests in which the public
has interest the central purpose of the
projectors of the new party, but it is
little surprising that they do not use
word that would cover every meaning
and aim of their effort, the word COM
munism."
Public ownership of the railways alone
would require an expenditure of fully
twelve billion dollars-unless they were
confiscated. The government would
have to issue bonds to pay for them, but
who would buy the bonds? 1t is held by
some that greenbacks instead of bonds
7iouiu We lSSueti, ana enough OF them
to pay for the larger industries as well
as for the railways, but the owners of
them could not be obliged to accept such
a money tender, unless the constitution
of the United States were set aside. 1t is
wild and foolish scheme the advo-
Gates of public ownership have in mind.
But if a satisfactory basis for trans
ferring the transportation, telegraph
and the industries could be agreed upon
the party in power when the transfer
was made would never be disloged from
power. 1t would increase the list of gov
ernment appointees by severa, million,
and the experience of the past is that
office holders stick pretty close to the
administration appointing them. So
cial reform would hardly come of estab-
fishing an office holding aristocracy, but
the country.is not ready for communism
of any sort, SO the projectors of the
ownership party might better give up
their air castles.

THE DINGLEY BILL

The proposition to pass the Dingley
bill is "a false pretense," the Louisville
Courier-Journal Dem) says, calcula-
ted to win over conservative Republic
ans to an extra session and a thorough
tariff revision after the Dingley bill has
failed.
The newspapers which are fiippantly
talking of the Dingley bill as affording
the necessary relief to the government
from its present financial straits are
wasting their editorial energies" the st.
Paul Pioneer Press (Rep.) believes. 1t
has no expectation that President Cleve-
land would sign such bill, and says,
therefore, that whatever revenue meas
ures are proposed must be framed to
meet his known views"
