for their sins of omission and
commission. Their sin of omission
in this particular will be a weighty one
for themselves and their party to carry.
There must be some members Of the
council not entangled in the meshes of
that Trust in SIM" some members
willing and able to stand up and say
that they are united and that their
voices and their votes are their own.
The Herald will assume that those
members constitute the Democratic
minority of the council. That minority
consists of THOMAS SAVAGE, M. P.
SNYDER, GEORGE d. PESSELL,
JAMES ASHMAN.
To these gentlemen The Herald ad-
dresses its request for full ventilation
of the subject that a sense of duty has
compelled it to exploit. 1t is the duty
of Thomas Savage, in whose ward, the
Eighth, the traffic in official power is
being carried on, to initiate the inves-
tigation; If he fails it will be the duty of
his Democratic brethren to do it for
him. Will the Democratic councilman
do what the Republican councilmen,
for reasons best known to themselves,
refuse to undertake.? The Herald
would like to know.

construction of two deep sea harbors
within thirty miles of each other. They
ask only for one deep sea harbor and
they want 1t located at San Pedro,
where the natural conditions are the
most favorable for the building of one
and where it would be accessible to
every railroad entering Southern Cali
fornia, including the Southern Pacific.
The appeal that is being made to their
greed will be impotent, for they are
not greedy, and if they were they are
not so obtuse as to be befuddled by the
Huntington handiwork proffered by
their congressman. They want both an
inner and an outer harbor and at San
Pedro only; they are not asking for
more. They cannot be put off with a
compromise project that provides only
for the building of an inner harbor
at the place of their choice. An inner
harbor without an outer or deep sea
harbor at San Pedro would be about
as valuable to the people of this part
of the state as a sewer system without
an outfall would be to the residents Of
Los Angeles.

TO THE CITY COUNCIL

The city council of Los Angeles will
convene in weekly session today, and
for that reason The Herald again takes
occasion to invite the attention of the
members of that body to the Trust in
Sin" that exists in the vicinity of Ala
media street and Ferguson alley. 1t is
now more than week since The Her.
AIDS expose of the manner in which
the power of the police department
by order of the police commission, has
been and is being used to con-
centrate the right to concentrate
prostitution into the hands of
one or two individuals under
the pretense of obeying an order of the
council to clear Alameda street of OBJ
jectionable houses. If the city council
is a body exempt from improper in
nuences and possessed of proper con-
ception of its duty to the public, The
Herald's publication should have in
stigated an immediate and searching
investigation. The apathy with which
the council has treated the subject
might justify in the minds of many peo-.
pie some very unpleasant differences. 1t
is not to be supposed that the official
discrimination exercised in behalf of a
money breeding monopoly in harlotry
is all for fun or friendship. And the
members of the city council cannot
treat the perversion of police authority
and the disobedience of their own or
ders with Indifference and at the same
time enjoy immunity from suspicious
that are calculated to impair the pres
tige of public servants.
The Herald has made it's appeal for
an investigation and abolition of this
disgusting iniquity carried on under the
aegis of municipal authority to the coun-
ell as whole. The appeal has been
urheeded. 1t therefore makes one to-
day to certain members of the city legis-
lative body. The partisan control of
the council is in the hands of the Re-
publican members. They were
elected as Republicans and their
party will be held responsible

THE LONG SWEET IN DIXIE

1t is the molasses- making time in
MiSSiSsippi-at once busy and feS-
tive period with the farmers and their
families. To one unused to the art it
is a sight of some interest, while to the
initiated it seems to be the crowning
Glory of the years tolls and pleasures.
OF course nothing is done on so extern
sive scale as on the Louisiana sugar
plantations. Both the crop and the
utensils for working it up are less i'm
posing, certainly, but not less effective,
says the Philadelphia Times.
Early in the spring the cane is plant
ed by laying it in burrows. three or four
stalks together. continuously, thus pro-
ducing from the eyes at the joints
beautiful growth of almost impenetra-
BILE thickness, but otherwise much re-
sembling corn in height and foliage.
Very little work is required for its cul-
tivation.
Late in the autumn, before frost,
men may be seen with grubbing hoes
taking down seed cane. In this case
the stalks are not stripped or topped. as
when it is prepared for the MILL but
piled in a heap and covered with earth
to remain until spring. II 1t Is not Sc
we're winter the stubble may be counted
upon to furnish a fine crop the next year
An acre of cane will easily produce 400
or more gallons of molasses, and with
less labor than anMother crop, so of this
commodity there is always plenty.
whatever else may lack or fail.
From the time the joints begin to look
blue or striped. according to whether it
is the blue or ribbon variety. it is in ac-
tive demand as sort of sweet or as ap-
pies are further north. There are few
late fruits here except fox grapes and
nuscadines, those aids of chills and
fever, so the sugar cane fills a real want.
Children carry it to the teacher in
lieu of fruits and flowers, and the girls
popularity may sometimes be reckoned
by the number of stalks she has stacked
up in the corner of the piazza. With
out actually witnessing it one can
scarcely credit the dexterity with
which even small boys and girls armed
with dull barlows can peel the hard
joints. while grown man. arrived at
counting age-not always synonymous
with years of aturity"-considers
himself accomplished only when he can,
with a sharp knife, peel six-foot stalk
completely without cutting it or break
ing the strips of bark. Having acquit-
ted himself of the performance, he
rests assured of the alteration of all the
young ladies and very small boys.
1t is quite wonderful what an amount
of sweetness can be extracted from it
after it is peeled cut and split into con-
venient pieces. The art of chewing
gracefully in the society of her "best
young man. is one receiving much
thought from the country lass, while
her manner of disposing of the discard
ed "chews'' is looked upon by bache-
lors and widowers as offering key to
her qualities for housewifery.

THE VOICE OF LABOR

AS will be seen by the news columns
of The Herald this morning the fight for
San Pedro has enlisted the services of
the organized labor of the city.
The effort lately made by the hench-
men of Mr.. Huntington in this commun-
ity to secure the endorsement of the
labor element. in his attempted steal Of
the peoples harbor on the ground that
a large appropriation for the Southern
Pacific harbor at Santa Monica would
benefit labor here by distributing that
sum among us. has met with deserved
and disastrous failure.
Laboring men cannot and should not
forget that Mr.. Huntington and his as
sociates imported hordes Of cheap
Chinese labor into California with
which to build their railroad, and that
they still use such labor, and poems i'm
ported from Mexico wherever 1t can
take the place of white labor upon their
system in California.
The attitude of the labor organiza-
tions of Los Angeles as expressed in the
dispatch sent to Congressman Nc
Lachlan, does liberal credit to their sa-
gacity and illustrates their loyalty to
the best interests of the section in
which their lot is cast The evidence
continues to roll in on Mr.. McLachlan
that the people of Los Angeles county
are emphatically and unalterably op-
posed to the expenditure of public
money for the benefit of Coils p Hunt
ington and company. Mr.. McLach-
Ian must see the futility of further tele-
grams

Admiral Beardslee, commanding the
distinguished officers of the United
States navy. He knows thing or two
about harbors. knows more even than
Mr.. Huntington, his hired experts and
the aggregate local Southern Pacific
outfit. The admiral has, of course, a
correct sense of the proprieties of his
Office and refuses to enter into the har-
bor controversy. and declare which Of
the two sites, San Pedro or Santa Mon
lea, is best fitted for the building of a
deep sea harbor. But the actions Of

admiral yesterday said:

make public statement upon the mat

Carlisle the Candidate

A Washington dispatch is quite posi-
tive that Carlisle will be the Presidents
candidate for the democratic presiden-
tial nomination. The president will
formally decline to be considered a can
didate. and will then declare his prefer
ence for the secretary of the treasury.
The nomination of Carlisle will simplify
the financial issue. The platform can
not make the gold money plank too
strong to suit the candidate. Should
the republicans declare for Sound"
money the two great parties would con-
tend with each other for the group of
northern states. which, voting for one
candidate. would elect a sound money
ticket. The result would probably be
that the republicans would carry the
larger part of the group, with the demo-
Gratis successful enough to prevent an
election of either ticket. Such result
will naturally be averted if possible. In
both parties in the east the sound money
issue is dominant. There has been no
expression of opinions of the plain peo-
Pile on this issue, but If there are any
considerable number of silver advocates
in the east they possess to remarkable
degree the gift of silence.

sThe government board of engineers
on page seventeen of their report on
the advisability of locating deep
water harbor at San Pedro, say: "At
San Pedro there is a land frontage of
four thousand three hundred feet in the
outer harbor, without including the in
ner line of the breakwater Since the
breakwater Is connected with the shore
and wharves can readily be projected
from its inner face. This gives for the
outer harbor an additional frontage of
5000 feet and a total frontage of Il, 800
feet. The frontage Of the inner harbor
is about four miles long; the total 'front.'
age for the whole harbor is therefore
miles. The approaches are good. as
they include both sides of the harbor,
and Wilmington harbor forms a mag
nificent interior BASIN" In the
same report the board of en-
gineers in referring to Santa
Monica as a harbor site say: "The
harbor above Santa Monica canyon
within the anchorage limits assumed
has a land frontage of 5000 feet in length
available for the construction of
wharves. However, the land approach
to the wharves is narrow and not capa-
BILE of extension, except at great ex-
pense. and there is no available place
for the construction of interior basins.
The conformation of the ground is such
that free access to the landing facilities
of the harbor would not be easily at
tainable by all parties engaged in the
business of land transportation page

bluffs. at the foot of which there is
narrow beach. Along this beach the
railway is constructed" page 12.)

mended that it be built and where COM
peting transportation lines could have
access to it on terms of equality, or at
Santa Monica where the people do not
want it, where the government engi-
neers have declared 1t should not be
built, and, where the entrance of other
railways to compete with the Southern
Pacific is practically impossible.

The constantly reiterated assertion by
the Southern Pacific's local agents
that the proposal telegraphed by Con-
gressman McLachlan covered the con-
struction of harbors at both San Pedro
and Santa Monica in a way that should
be satisfactory to the adherents of each
place, should deceive nobody. The sites
are not placed on parity. The propo-
sition that Mr.. McLachlan has trans
mitted for Mr.. Huntington is that the
people accept appropriations sufficient
to complete the inner harbor only at
San Pedro and build the deep sea har-
Dor at Santa Monica; not to build deep
sea harbors at both places Hence the

pleasantness
Gov. Matthews is telling good
story he heard in the south recently.
In a Valley in the northern part of
Georgia. between two mountains which
shut out all communication with the
outside world, there lived an old plant
err, who, while an ardent adherent of
the southern cause, was too badly
crippled by infirmities to shoulder a
musket and march barefooted. But he
had a son whom he sent, and after the
boy had disappeared down the road
the old man waited for the news Of the
strife. Occasionally rumors of southern
victories would float over the noun
tains, and the old, man-Uncle S. he
was called-would rejoice and take an
unusually large dose of mint julep.
At other times, when reverse news came
and it was reported that the gray had
been turned back the old man would
bitterly lament and use the same REM
edy for grief and sorrow that he used to
quiet his joy. Through it all he had
abundant faith in the ultimate victory
of the confederate army, and any doubt
expressed would meet with a stern re-
buke.
The years rolled on, news failed to ar
rive. The valley was deserted, and
there was no one to learn the course of
events. The old man smoked his pipe
and waited impatiently for news. One
morning as he sat on the front porch
with his pipe, far down the dusty road
appeared the form of a solitary pedes-
trian. Gradually he approached, and
the feeble vision of the old planter rec
ogniZed his long absent son. The puffs
from his pipe came thick and fast, but
this was the only sign of eagerness or
nervousness displayed. The gate
swung open and the soldier walked up
and sat down on the steps.
"Mornin', jim said the old man.
"Mornin', pap" was the quiet re-
sponse.
"Shot?"
Mop"
"Sick?"
Mop"
The old man reached behind him for
a stout club which he used as a cane.
jim" he said, nervously, Jim, ye
didn't desart?'
No, We're whipped"
What"
"Yes, we're whipped. Lee has sur
rendered with his army and we uns all
laid down our guns"
The old man jabbed with his cane at
a fly for minute and then, looking up
with a troubled expression, asked:
Jim, how'd it happen?"
well, pap, we uns all fit our best, as
long as it was an even shake; but we
uns all found out at the Lord was a
Yank, and it was no use. We uns laid

The number of paid admissions at

" in excess of $25, 900 and those at City
hall were some $1,000.
The entries for the next circuit meet
ing of the Maine Mile Track association
will be held at Rigby park, Septem Der
2l-25, have all been received and the list
Is now in the hands Of the printer. It
will be out by the middle.of the week.
1t is probable that four of the fastest
horses in the country, Robert J., Joe Pat.
chen, John r. Gentry and Frank Agan
will ..be here. There is some difficulty
as to justSthe manner. in which to bring
these speedy ones together. The owners
of Joe Patcheu and Frank Agan want
to match them against each other.
Joe Patchen's owner also wants to match
him against Robert J., while the back
ers of John r. Gentry want him sent to
beat Joe Patchen's record of 2.03.
