loyal sons and daughters in a befitting

REsURFACING STILL POSSIBLE

The city council is still considering the
proposition to resurface Spring street.
AS shown in yesterdays Herald, there
is reason to believe that the protest
against the projected improvement will
fail of it's purpose, and that the work
will be ordered at an early date.
1t now appears, too, that no incOnsid-
cradle part of the frontage represented
in the protest was given under a mis-
apprehension as to the conditions, ex-
pense and circumstances under which
the work would be done, and it is like
ly the signers thereof will reconsider
their action and give a cheerful assent
to the resurfacing project.
The question has become more than
the mere matter of repairing business
street. In it is involved the future Of
Spring street as the leading business
thoroughfare of the city. The tenants
on that street, who pay probably the
heaviest rentals in the city, have be-
come thoroughly aroused to the situa-
tion, and seem determined to either
front of their present places of business,
or to remove where that condition is
offered. The property owners on Broad
way are ready to take advantage of the
situation; IL there is not suffic.ent

PoLICEMEN'S WORK AND PAY

City Attorney Dunn has given the po-
lice commission an opinion on the eight
hour law as it applies to the work done
by the police force. He holds that
policeman is always on duty, so to speak,
and always subject to call for any spe-
cial work that may be required. He
does not however, think that any reg
ular, stated service should be exacted
in excess of eight hours day.
1t seems that three times a week the
policemen are called upon to do extra
duty for few hours and this led to an
inquiry on the part of member of the
is not violation of the eight hour law.
1t further appears that the extra work
is necessary, and that if it is not done
by the present force the city must hire
more men. This cannot be done with
out exceeding the limits of the appro-
pration. 1t would be necessary, then,
to reduce the salaries of the present
force to figure that would permit the
employment of the extra men. The pa
trolmen who are now getting 1888 a
month would be cut to $50 or $65.
On the other hand there has been no
complaint, so far as is known, that the
work required at present is excessive
or burdensome 1t would seem to be
the part of wisdom, at all events on the
part of the policemen, to let the matter
stand as it is.

WHAT CAUSES THEIR ALARM

The foreign dispatches this morning
indicate disturbed state of mind on the
part of some of the European newspa-
pers over the relations between the
United States and Spain in the matter
of Cuba Some of the papers are inso-
their shoulders; others are merely con-
cerned as to the effect of the contro-
versy upon the future map of the
world. The Soleil, published at Paris,
declares that United Europe would do
we'll to support Spain against such
policy of rapine," meaning of course,
the policy of the United States.
1t should be understood that such ut
terances in no wise represent the ofii-
cial sentiment of the countries where
they are made. They form merely an
individual, unofficial biting of thumbs
that need give the people of this coun-
try no particular concern.
Such utterances, however, have
certain significance. To understand
what that significance is it is only neces-
sary to put any of the great powers in
the place of the United States. If
France or Germany or Great Britain
had been in the place of the United
States, Cuba would have been taken
from Spain long ago, ''as a part of the
public policy" These nations have
seized empires ere this upon far smaller
pretexts than the United States might
have set up if she had wished to take
Cuba.
But the United States is not in the
land grabbing business. 1t is not now
probable that she will acquire Cuba;
but if she ever does secure the island
she will take it in fair, honest, equit-
able manner, based upon good and sufii-
cient reasons.
At present, however, the United
States is endeavoring to secure fair
treatment for an oppressed people close
to her shores, and to protect its own
citizens and their property interests.
Here is where the goad pricks the for
eign hotheads. The role of the United
States is a new one to them. They have
been accustomed to see might conquer
right with no protests except from
other nations who wish to share in the
spoils. If the United States is to es-
tablish a precedent for other nations
what is to become of future territory

NOT AS RADICAL AS EXPECTED

The indications are that the bankers
monetary commission will not be as
radical and reckless in recommending
monetary measures as has been sup
posed. The views expressed by the Sec
retary of the treasury before he was
inducted into office seem to have been
considerably modified, for it is presumed
that the plan of the commission will re-
ceive his approval.
Mr.. Gage and the bankers have evil
IDENTIFY discovered that the people will
not assent to the retirement of the
greenbacks, nor to diminution of the
money volume. They are for enlarge
ment to an extent that will adequately
supply the wants of our rapidly growing
domestic trade. The proposition to per-
nit the banks to issue to par of their
deposited bonds will not be opposed to
any appreciable extent; on the contrary,
as it will enlarge the circulation, it will

be generally approved. Faith in the
national bank notes rests upon the
guaranty of Uncle Sam, and if he is good
for ninety he is good for one hundred
cents.
If the administration will listen to the
voice of the people it may propose a
revision of our money system that will
do the country some good. Nothing,
however, will be definitely known till
congress convenes. Meantime there will
be anxiety in regard to what the presi-
dent will propose. AS international
bimetallism has been disposed of by the
emphatic refusal of Great Britain to
confer on the subject, 1t is quite certain
that vigorous efforts will be made to
adopt bimetallism on our own account
and for the accommodation Of home
commerce.

bone of contention during the coming

cent" is reported as the unanimous re-
ply to the demand for campaign contri-
buttons.
The reason given by Governor Drake
and his colleagues for refusing contri-
buttons is the fact that the present can
didates have entirely refused to say
good word for the officers whom they
hope to succeed. They have not syl-
liable to offer in defense of Governor
brakes administration from the charges
of the public press. They tacitly admit
everything that has been charged, but
disclaim responsibility for themselves.
They are accused of taking cowardly
and sneaking attitude in the campaign.
And the charge is true. But let the
Republicans settle the difficulty among
themselves. The facts merely tend to
show that the present candidates are
as unfit as the present men in office to
hold the management of state affairs

Constables and Cramps"

The Herald has some startling facts
this morning about the abuses that
come from the practice Of the consta-
bles in arresting tramps. The Herald is
right in stirring this matter up and pre-
venting injustice being done to the tax
PAYERS and penniless men for the benefit
of the officers fees. There is no doubt
but that great wrongs have been done on
account of these unjust and unneces-
sary arrests.
At the same time the attention OF Ine
Herald and other city papers is called to
the fact that they may be doing an IN
Justice to some of the county officers IN
the method of getting and publishing
statements. The city reporters prob
ably get their information from the
prisoners themselves or the stories
which they relate. Take, for instance,
among the examples given in The Her
aid, the case of George Williams and c.
]. Ewing, given five months and three
months, respectively, by Justice Ros-
sitter. Williams was very glib of tongue
and no doubt they concealed the reason
of their arrest, which was on account of
trying to break in a store here. Though
the evidence was very strong it was
not conclusive as to robbery, so the
charge of vagrancy was lodged against
them. The writer was with the officers
at the time Of arrest, and so we know
positively that instead of being blamed
the Pasadena officers should, in this in
stance, be given praise for their prompt
work.
We call the attention of The Herald in
this matter in the interest of fairness.

ing after the peoples interests in the

CALIFORNIA OPINION
Going to Decay

The wall which California, in lf-de-
fense, has spent so many years in builA-
ing up, for the purpose of keeping out the
Chinese hordes which threatened to
overrun the state, is rapidly going to de-
cay. There are already several large
holes in it, and it is possible that more
may yet be made. 1t has recently been
discovered that the restrictinon act does
not necessarily restrict, and that If the
Chinese coolies and disreputable women
are to be excluded from the country
several very big patches will have to be
put upon the existing law at the coming
session of congress.-San Jose Mercury.

The Campaign in Ohio

The progress of the Ohio campaign has
been closely followed by the special cor
respondent of the Chronicle in that
state. His reports give intelligence that
is much more trustworthy than the dis
patches sent by the agents Of the parti-
san Republican press.
1t is an ld-fashioned Ohio campaign
in an off year. The Republicans are
divided into factions, between which In
tense hostility prevails. Senator For
aker is really the most brilliant Repub-
lican leader that Ohio has seen in two
decades. He is a forcible political man.
ager, a speaker of great power and the
vigor of his purposes never weakens.
The knife up sleeve has been the IA
vorite weapon of Ohio Republicans for
more than a generation. For the best
part of forty years there has been one
Republican and one Democratic senator
from Ohio. This was not an accident
1t was because the Republican senator
in office preferred a Democratic col
league to Republican colleague, with
whom he would have been compelled to
share influence and patronage. Espe-
cially John Sherman always wanted TO
be the sole Republican representative
Of Ohio in the senate.
Out of this condition of affairs grew
the practice of knitting Republican can
didates. Foraker has been knitted over
and over again. He has well learned
the practices of his enemies. If he does
not fully repay this year large portion
of his debts of ingratitude and treachery
no faith is to be placed in the signs of the
times.
Other portents indicate Democratic
victory in Ohio this year. The hope OF
such a result is inspired equally by the
evidences of Democratic harmony and of
Republican disruption.

talists stand ready to build others. Self
interest, as well as the public welfare,
demand that the prestige of Spring
street be maintained.
The condition of our business streets,
too, has become more than a mere local
issue. Outside papers are taking it up.
With one accord they wonder that Los
Angeles with it's enviable reputation
for enterprise should be so derelict in
the matter of keeping it's business
streets in repair.

A CHEERFUL NOTE FROM ENG

Everybody is up to his eyes in work

busy times as we have now and with
wages good and food and clothing
cheap. the protection cry has died out

earth are finding out that poor old Brit
ain, with her gold standard, has got
hold of the best end of the stick. 1t has
been good fun to read the accounts of
the troubles of the American patriots"
who are so anxious to protect home in
dustries, and who are returning from
Europe with supplies of clothing ETC.,
and find themselves faced with the new
tariff. Lord, Mac, what arrant tom
foolery it is! And TO think that grown
men should have no more sense than

court of last resort has passed upon the
issues involved the decision will support
that of the Seattle court. If so, the
gates will be thrown wide open and Chi
nese slavery will ride on the flood tide of
success on the Pacific coast, and prac-
