ANOTHER VETERAN GONE

General Arthur c. Ducat, Comrade of Grant,
Posecrans and Garfield, Dead
Holdridge .. Collins has received from
Chicago telegram announcing the death
of General Arthur G. Ducat, on the 18th OF
the present month.
General Ducat was distinguished off,
Ger of the Union army during the rebellion.
He was engaged in the capture of Forts
Henry and Donelson. and in the battles of
South River, Chickamauga. Corinth, and
most of the engagements fought by the
armies of the Tennessee and Cumberland.
His knowledge of engineering and his
quick eye for topography soon became
known to his commanding generals, ana
when General Ord assumed command or
the army of the Tennessae, Colonel Ducat
was ordered to his staff.
General Rosecrans appointed him as
his chief of staff and later, inspector gen.
eral of the Army of the Cumberland, and
gave him command of the grand guards,
pickets and outposts of the army, which
position he held as long as Gen. Rosecrans
remained in command. =,
He was thrown in close association with
Generals sheridan and Garfield, who were
also members of the staff of General Rose
Grams, and his intimate relations with these
officers continued up to the time OF their
death.
With General Sheridan and other officers
in charge of volunteers, he went TO the
support of General Thomas, whose COM
mand was in peril, and when General
Thomas succeeded General Rosecra ns,
Colonel Ducat was ordered to the stall OF
the new commander, whom he served
faithfully and ably, as that great tacticlan
and stubborn fighter testified more than
once.
Just before the battle of Corinth, General
4 81, IA
of inspector.general of his own command,
but owing to his attachment for Generai
Rosecrans the offer was declined.
The close of the war found him as brlga-
dier-general, and he returned to his home
in Chicago and resumed his civil pursuits.
Upon the reorganzation of the Illinois
National guard in 1877 into division OF
three hrigades General Ducat was commits
stoned maior-general, and Holdridge y.
Collins now of this city, at that time cap
tain of he First regiment at Chicago, was
appointed colonel, chief of staff and adju-
tant-general.
The excellent service of the Illinois
National guard under General Oucat dur
ing the railroad riots of 1877, without
bloodshed, is an exceptional record for
those perilous times.
General Ducat WAS a past commander
of the Illinois commandery of the Loyal
Legion and member OF the associations
of the Armies of the Ohio, Tennessee and
Cumberland.
With his family he passed the winters of
1892 and 1894 in San Diego, and he be-
came very much attracted by the beauties
of Southern California. So much so that
a. late as January 7th, 1896, he wrote to
Mr.. Co Inns that he had resolved to pur-
chase residence in the vicinity of Los An
geles and bring his family here for his per-
manent home.

A TEST CASE
The Stand Taken by Real Estate lien Against
License Tax

The Stand Taken by Real Estate lien Against
License Tax
The real estate men have taken stand
against the monthly license tax that is
levied on their business oy the city, and
propose to test the right of the municipal
authorities to collect moneys from them.
and H. B. Eakins this month, they refused
to pay. Warrants were sworn ou' charg-
ing them with violating the tax ordinance.
Both of these gentlemen were arrested on
warrants and taken to the police court,
where the cases were continued for trial
on February :.
Mr.. Wells was seen by representative
of THE HERALD yesterday afternoon and
asked for statement OF the real estate
side of the fight
We have made this stand, said Mr..
Wei s, because we think it is an unjust dis
elimination <ainst the dealers. We have
done a great deal for the city, and this
should not be lost sight of. During the
boom the real estate men turned the tide
in the right direction. 1t was they, prac-
tically, who started the chamber of COM
merce and stayed wi h it, and see what
that institution has accomplished for the
welfare of Los Angeles. The real estate
men, that is, the reputable ones, have been
of great benefit 10 this city.
This monthly tax, while not large. dis
eliminates against us as class, and we
propose to fight it. The merchan 5 paid
lax too, formerly. bat they protested and
it was removed. This is what we desire to
accomplish. The other dealers will stand
together and help contribute money for the
purpose of making test case and fighting
the matter through the courts to determine
our rights.

by Grider & Dow. Ihirty.one lots were
s,ld, the number including all of the
Adams street frontage with the exception
of three lois. The most satisfactory indi-
cation in the sale lies in the fact hat the
lots were sold, almost without exception,
to parties who intend to improve them, | .
of the purchasers having already deter
mined to erect residences, among them
being Mr.. Edwards of the Bankers Al i
ance company, who invested $4,000 in Or

bu'liing a handsome residence on his

In farm lands inquiry seems confined
strictly to small tracts for immediate i'm
provement by the purchasers. There is \
large number of easterners in the city and
vicinity. but they are making up their

full advantage of the facilities offered by
the excursions running to the various
towns.
The inquiry for lands for city or suburb
an homes and for agrcul ural purposes is
large enough to give promise of good bus.

rarm wages and Profits.

Ex-Governor Boies of Iowa says that
he cannot pay the present rate Of wages
and make his 3, 500 acre farm pay. He
says that no farmer who has to hire his
help can make money at farming under
the gold standard. Ex-Congressman
Bland says that wages of all kinds will
rise under free coinage.
1t would naturally be inferred from
Boies' statement that he wants free
coinage to lower farm wages so that the
big farmers can make money out of the
labor of others. BANDS opinion evil
IDENTIFY is that free coinage would be a
good thing for the farm laborcr and
therefore, so far as wages are concerned,
q bad thing for the boss farmers

why a Panic Would Surely Follow Silver
Ito Success.

Ito SuCCess.
IF YOU had money loaned out in Can
ada and the government Of that coun-
try threatened to pass law which
would compel you to accept 90 cents IN
full payment of each dollar, wouldn t
you quickly call in your loans? Ger
tainly. The same desire to protect
themselves against payment in cheap
dollars will in event Of silverite VIC
tory in November result i'll an lmmc-
diato demand on the part of lenders for
all outstanding loans. This will cause
a general sacrifice Of property at ruinous
rates and industry and trade will be
paralyzed through the inability OF man
ufacturcrs and merchants to borrow.
Would you lend your money If there
was u strong Likelihood Of your getting
back only half as much as you loanedf
on course not. Then don't you see
that other people are just like you,
and that they can't be cocrccd into sup
plying capital to carry on business by
holding the club of reputation over
them?
That policy which alarms investors
will produce panic is as sure as that
dropping match into gunpowdcr Will
be followed by an explosion.
