A BANDIT HERO.
Told the Hangman to Do His Work We'll.

New York Sun: Franz Csonka, a famous 74-year-old brigand, was hanged recently for murder at Essegg, in Slavonia He smoked his pipe to the gallows, tapped the hangman on the shoulder and said to him: Do your job well; don't make a fool of yourself" He was the most fearless of the band of Rosza Sandor, with whom he committed many robberies and murders in the Rakonyer forests. They were captured with difficulty twenty-five years ago, when Csonka declared he would confess to murders only, the rest being merely child's play. He was sentenced to twenty years imprisonment, from which he was released a year ago, but soon after committed an unusually atrocious murder, for which he was executed. Rosza Sandor was sentenced to inn prisonment for life, and died in jail ten years ago. In Hungary he was never looked upon as a common crim- inal, but rather as a hero of romance. He was handsome man, the best horseman in Hungary, and a great favorite with the women. Kossuth ap- pointed him leader of corps of vol unteers in 1849. His father was a brigand like himself, belonging to the organized bands that kept judges and police in their pay, and preventing ac- cusations by fear of the vengeance of the organization.

Disintegration Speculation in Dis
 franchised Washington

WASHINGTON, July 16.-Much in terest is felt here in official circles over the manifesto to be issued by the sound money committee tomorrow from Chicago. It is believed that it will be the means of starting great revolt in the Democratic party, which will result either in a separate ticket on a sound money platform or whole sale desertion of Mckinley and Hobart
 The remarkable bolt of many east ern Democratic papers from the Demo- Populist ticket nominated at Chicago is subject of wide speculation here, and while it clearly foreshadows Dem ocratic defeat at the polls, it is not looked upon with. any great degree of poignancy by MT. Cleveland and other leaders of the sound money wing of the Democracy. The fact of the great detection in Kentucky is especially pleasing to MT. Carlisle, as he feels that the bolt in his state fully sustains his attitude on the currency question and emphasizes the proverbial atti- tude of Kentuckians for good money It is claimed that New York will give Mckinley and Hobart at least 00,000 majority. The attitude of the Demo- cratic press of the state has already carried thousands of votes into the Republican ranks, and more will fol- low.

A SECRETARY OF PROTECTION

Anent the scheme to establish the
cabinet office Of secretary of manu-
factures," which The HERALD adverted
to recently, the Chicago Chronicle
makes the following rather pointed
remarks:
1t is stated on the authority of an official
of a national organization of manufac-
turers that the manufacturers of this coun-
try want another cabinet officer to take
care of the industries of the country" that
who will sit in the cabinet and devote his
time to the protection and promotion of
American industries everywhere"
The exact language quoted may not have
been used by the official referred to. 1t
seems to be the language Of q newspaper
writer who enters into the spirit of the
thing. The same appreciative chronicler
makes the statement that the plan is to
put the new cabinet officer TAT the head ct
national board of trade which will safe
guard manufacturers both at home and
abroad"
Likely enough the manufacturing inter-
ests want something of this kind. That in
terest is the American spoilt child. which
insists on having all the cookies and jam
because it was weak in the legs when it
was baby. leaving nothing but potatoes
and pork fat for the rest of the children.
The manufacturers have been petted and
pampered until they really seem to think
that there is something peculiarly sacre d
about their interest. They seem to think,
with Kaiser Wilhelm and other monarchs,
that they have a divine right to live upon
the earnings of others and have every
thing done for them that they choose 10
demand.
The association official above referred to
is quoted as saying: 1.-THE striking feature
of this new movement among mannfact-
urers is the absence of politics. 1t is not
the Democratic free trader alone today
who is asking for the markets of the world.
No less vociferous in his demand is the pro-
tectionist manufacturer" Then why don't
they go and offer their products in the for
eign markets just as they do in the home
markets? Why do they run to Pappy Gov
ernment like helpless infants? There is
nothing to hinder them from sending their
agents severally or jointly, if they choose,
to introduce their goods in any market snat
is open to foreign goods.

SENATOR VEST of Missouri has evil
IDENTIFY determined that the race to the
goal of senatorial demagogy shall not
be confined to Tillman, Butler and
Stewart, but goes bounding along the
course himself. To this nobody would
ordinarily object, for it is the inalien-
able right of the senator to make fool
or a fraud of himself to his hearts con-
tent, but every such blatant perform
ance as that indulged in by the sena-
tor on Wednesday represents besides
an expenditure of his valueless wind
and vapid ideas an expenditure of pub
lie money that is absolutely wasteful.
The senate of the United States in ses-
eion is an expensive institution and it
should spend it's time in serious and
intelligent consideration of public bus
mess. It is not an institution for the
practice of oratory or political con-
vention. II the sn-Butler-Stewart-
Vest combination want to air their
idiocy and mendacity they should hire
a hall for the purpose. +t@-f

Religious Mania

Religious Mania
EDITOR HERALD:-A physician of this
city showed me the other day statistics
from the five insane asylums Of this state.
A singular feature in the statement OF
causes leading to the insanity of the in
mates is the large number committed for
"religious mania" In three of the asy-
lums this means of upsetting the mind ex-
ceeded alcohol, opium and cocaine, all
known to be terribly destructive when used
immoderately. OF course there is no rea-
son to believe that these unfortunates
were wrecked by attendance at regular
Protestant or Catholic church services. Of
late years, however, there has been great
increase IN so-called travelling revivalists
and street preachers. They are particu.
larly numerous in Southern California.
These men preach doctrines in vogue CEN
turtles ago. and picture in blood.curdling
language the fate of the unrepentant sim
ner. Some teach a literal hell-tire and
dwell on the horrors of the sinners dying
bed. One feature of these men and women
is the 'scock sure" way they have
of assuming that they "know
it all.' In these days. where
the best educated and talented men of the
world are expressing their doubts and dis
belief of many of the old church dogmas,
the assurance of these noisy street preach,
ers is disgusting. With glib tongues and
often smirk on their faces they rattle oil
their particalar plan of salvation, eonstgH

Looked Like an Alligator

Yesterday afternoon a young German.
who gave the name of Fred Hammel, called
at the police station to get permit to sell
lead pencils in the streets without paying
a license. The man has a cheerful, intelli-
gent face, and he is apparently in good
health, but his body has been SO warped
out of all semblance to humanity, that he
is compelled to get about on his hands and
knees, in which position he resembles moth
ing so much as an alligator. The unfor-
tunate has been in his present deplorable
condition since he was only one year OF
age. Notwithstanding his intirmity, Ham
mel is apparently cheerful and contented.
He came to Los Angeles from San Franz
cisco day or two ago. Although he has
only been in America two years, Hammel
speaks English we'll, and with but very lit
tie accent.

AN ASSESSMENT FARCE

The HERALD has occasionally called
attention to the glaring discrepancies
and omissions in the assessment of
personal property, and has presented
numerous important statistics, drawn
from official sources, in support of the
statement that there is no such thing
as q uniform, correct and impartial
assessment of labor products in any
portion Of the country. Scarcely a
month passes without the discovery
somewhere of gross neglect, indolencs
or favoritism on the part of officials
who have been going through the farce
Of assessing personal property.
As q consequence of 30 much assess
ment botchwork there are in many To-
calities apparently enormous SHRINK
ages in either the quantity or value of
such property. Official figures show
that from 1860 to 1880 the total value
Of real estate in the United States in
creased six billions, the total value in
1880 being thirteen billions. On the
other hand the total value of personal
property, including improvements,
diminished from five billion one hum
dred million to three billion nine hun.
dred million. The st. Louis Globe.
Democrat, in commenting on this COM
psrative statement, ssid at ia not be-
lieved that the value of the personal
property actually decreased, the differ
encs arising. most probably, from in
creased skill in evading the assess
ments."
Right here in our own county we
have an illustration of how land values
are inclined to swell while the values
Of personal property, including i'm
provements, apparently diminish. The
assessed valuation in 1894 Of all real
sstate in this county was $49,O0O,O0O,
while the assessed valuation of all
property produced by labor. except
railroad property. was $2sOO0,000, or
12l. .O0O, 900 less than the land values.
Dan any one believe that all the per.
sonal property in the county was as
sesssd, and at fair valuation? or
course not. Without doubt hundreds

If THERE is anything in the report Of
an oil deal affecting the entire output
of Los Angeles having taken place in
San Francisco, it should certainly have
a most stimulating effect on the local
producers hopes. The elaborate ar
rangements for the handling of the
product being made by the Arctic Oil
company of the northern city certainly
indicate something of significance,
most likely that foothold, and good
one, has at last been obtained in San
Francisco. OF the market for
oil in that direction there has
never been any real reason for
doubt, its possession being solely
dependent on our ability to satisfy the
consumers that we could supply the
demands regularly at q figure which
would compete successfully with coal.
The chief obstruction to the coming
together of the Los Angeles producer
and San Francisco consumer has been
the lack of cheap and adequate trans
portation facilities. There is promise
that these facilities are to be furnished
soon. The fact that they have been 30
long coming will be lasting reflection
on the enterprise of Los Angeles cap
ital.

Miscellaneous Hitching

EDITOR HERALD-In your efforts TO undo
the effects of mismanagement in city and
county affairs you meet with the approba-
ton of all reputable citizens. 1 desire to
call your attention TO another wrong which
works great injustice to the people at
large and the business men of the city liz
particular, namely. the hitching of horses
attached to all kinds of vehicles, for hours,
covering in many instances the larger part
of the day, on the business thoroughfares
of the city. Certainly the action is uuwar-
ranted, if not unlawful, and calls for action
on the part of the police to keep people
from blocking up the streets to such an
extent that it is impossible to get near the
curb on the principal streets of the city.
People from suburban points tie up to the
first post they can find, and leave their
horses there for hours, which is cruelty to
animals as we'll as great Inconvenience to
everybody. In calling the attention of the
proper officials you will be doing the mer-
chants of the main streets a great benefit.

FRIDAY. FEBRUARY ?, 1906.
SECRETARY SMITH FOR FORE.
CLOSURE

The telegraphic statement that Sec
retsry of the Interior Hoke Smith ad-
vocates the foreclosure Of the govern
meut mortgages on the Pacific railroads
will be received with pleasure by vast
majority of the people of the Pacific
coast. The opinion of the secretary of
the interior is bound to be potent in
influencing members of congress as yet
undecided regarding the foreclosure
proposition.
Like sound Democrat, Secretary
Smith is absolutely opposed to govern
ment ownership and operation Of rail-
ways, and he very correctly contends
that it will not be necessary for Uncle
Sam to 60 into the railroad business
in the event of the roads being taken
in under foreclosure. There is, how
ever, no absolute certainty that the
government will be obliged to take the
properties in. Some of the astute
observers of the situation are firm in
the belief that Huntington will never
permit the foreclosure that when it
really becomes imminent he will raise
the funds necessary to liquidate the
inoepredness to the United states.
This conviction is based on the theory
that the Southern Pacific could not
afford to have the northern transconti-
mental line operated by either the gov
ernment or another corporation. 1t is
in the Southern Pacific railroad that
Huntington is chiefly interested and
the interests of that route can be bet
ter served and protected by keeping
both the Central and Southern Pacific
under the same control. But if fore
closure proceedings have to be pushed
against the Union and Central Pacific
and the roads taken in as a conse-
quence, it by no means follows that the
government will have to operate them,
and this fact should be clearly i'm
pressed on the minds of those oppos-
ing foreclosure for fear the socialistic
scheme OF governmental railway opera
tion- will be put into practice. The
roads can be either resold, as Secretary
Smith suggests. or they can be thrown
open as a national railroad highway for
the use Of any parties, private or cor.
porate, that desire to run railway cars,
under certain proper restrictions and
rules of course. This latter mode is
one that has received the advocacy of
Congressman Mcguire ever since the
foreclosure discussion opened.

The possibilities in the canned fruit
trade are indicated by the shipment by
Santa Clara firm of six carloads of that
sort Of commodity to London. The
goods go by water. This is not an expert
mental shipment, for until few years
since thriving business was done in
canned fruit with England, but the
packing of inferior fruit in an inferior
manner we'll nigh wrecked the busi-
ness. II California packers will pack
choice fruit properly and push the
same energetically in foreign markets,
there is abundant reason for believing
that the present trade can be increased
many times.
