A Herald Representative

Mrs. c. H. Austin, who has been here
for some time in the interest of the Nc
Clure newspaper syndicate and the Los
Angeles Herald, left Thursday for the
Angel City, but we were unable to,learn
when she will return. Mrs. Austin is a
pleasing writer and has done much for
our camp through her articles.-Rands-

AS announced, it is the Mckinley
Reed program to take up the money
question as soon as the tariff bill is
disposed of. 1t is remarkable that the
only measure in contemplation is the
passage of a law for the appointment
of a commission. 1t can and will be
forced through the house, but the SEN
ate is not SO tractable. Any proposition
on the money question is likely to cause
a protracted debate in the upper brancf,
and indefinitely delay adjournment.

That's What

Huntington isn't so much to blame,
for it's his business. Frye isn't so much
to blame. because Huntington has made
it his business. Alger's the man upon
whom the responsibility rests, and some

neck of the woods will be sorry.-Pasa-

The Kansas City Journal congratu-
lates the people of that section upon
the absence of funnel-shaped clouds. The
temporary relief from lodging cyclones
thus afforded will have a tendency to
make the people fat and lazy. There is

A great deal has been said about the
meanness of robbing the contribution
box, and It has remained for Oakland
to establish a new standard of religious
burglary. The cornerstone of St. Johns
Episcopal church in that city was rifled
one night this week. Nothing was miss

newspapers. The good Judgment of the
burglar was equaled only by his disap-

Mr.. Gladstone is trying to prevent the
presence of Turkish ENJOYS at the
queens jubilee, and says that "the en-

with a disagreeable reception in Eng

government in leading strings.

The fact that the Cuban forces under
Gomez met and defeated the forces un-

Catherine Waugh McCulloch has
| one great complaint against the women
of Illinois-their lack of interest in the
equal suffrage movement. That is a
complaint the women must settle among
themselves. A few short haired women
and long-haired men cannot dictate
public sentiment and the law in respect
to such question. When the majority
Of the women-the women of the houses

If Mr.. Astor-Wille Waldorf, you
know-has not gone and done 1t again!
The annual sale of the Prince Of Wales
cast-off horses took place yesterday, and
Mr.. Astor purchased pair of geldings
for 900 guineas, "the highest price paid
for team" AS horses go nowadays
$4500 was a good price to pay for a
cast-off pair; but, just think of it, the
Prince of Wales himself has ridden after
those particular equines. How the gen.
uine exponents of royalty must chuckle
in their sleeves at the attempts of the
money-fat ex-American to buy his way
into their society, nor is it to be denied
that the Astorian efforts are successful.

STREET sPRINKLINa

In another column appears a commu-
nication calling attention to the dust
nuisance in the public streets caused by
leaving the centers of the streets un-
eprinkled. Just where the superintend-
ent Of street sprinkling gets his author
ity to slight the middle Of the road we do
not know. but it would be interesting to
learn II any deduction from the con-
tractors price per mile for sprinkling is
made on those streets where at least
one-third Of the surface is left dry. And
does this reduction go to the city or to
the sprinkling superintendent?
That the nuisance complained Of by
our correspondent ought to be remedied
is amply demonstrated by standing or
Main street and watching a passing
street car. The cloud of dust that ac
companies 1t is as much of detriment
to foot passengers and business houses
along the street as it can be to the trav-
elere in the cars.
The climatic conditions in this city re-
qure that the streets should be sprinkled
in order to keep the dust down.
The convenience of the bicycle riders
should be served in some other way.

The Sacramento Bee notes the new
arrangements between the Central Pa
cific and Southern Pacific lines where
by passengers will have several hours

chamber of commerce should be alive to
the importance of this projected change
to this city, and should lose no time to
prepare some plan whereby the people
who are to make daily visit here will
understand that the town properly ap-
preciates their presence. Were Los An
geles to be similarly favored, it would
be holding public meetings to devise
some method Of properly impressing the
sojourners." The compliment to Los
Angeles is appreciated, and the sugges-
ton of the Bee should be needed.
