AN OUTRAGE UPON SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA

The merchants Of Los Angeles have
justly earned the reputation Of possess
ing in superior degree the invaluable
quality of energy. They have extended
their trade to extraordinary propor-
tions, considering the circumstances.
They have the spirit and the means for
occupying a larger field. What is true
Of the merchants Of this city is also
characteristic of the population Of the
rural districts. Produce has kept pace
with demand and indeed has out
stripped it. What our agriculturists
and horticulturists want is a broader
market. However enlarged it may be-
come, Southern California will speedily
be able to supply it.
The influx of population to the gold
fields of the far north promises to be
very large. Food and other supplies
can best be procured from California,
and more largely from this part of the
state than from any other. Our pro-
ducers and merchants need the markets
of Klondike and Alaska. At present
they are embarrassed in efforts to sup
ply those markets for want of cheaper
transportation and direct communica-
tion. If the harbor at San Pedro were
constructed, steamship lines would i'm
mediately be established. AS it is, mer-
chandise and food supplies must be sent
to San Francisco by rail or steamship
and there transhipped, causing delay
and imposing such cost as to impair if
not destroy the means Of competition.
Every days delay in commencement
of work on the San Pedro harbor is a
continued outrage on the merchants of
this city and the producers in the ad
jacent country.

CALIFORNIA OPINION
Wool and the Colonel

The Los Angeles Times again ex-
presses it's sentiments on the subject
of the governorship. 1t appears to be
frank, and yet we would be better salts
fed if Colonel Otis Of the Times would
say that he does not intend to join hands
with certain politicians in this part Of
the state to give the governorship nom
ination to a man who only claims to be
a north Californian but is really resi-
dent of Los Angeles. Colonel Otis no
doubt feels friendly to this man and be-
lieves that if he is nominated for gov
ernor another South Californian will
get the United States senatorship. But
in this part of the state the impression
prevails that the San Francisco politi-
clans who are working on this deal do
not intend the senatorship shall go to
Southern California next year. They
are suspected of holding a San Fran
cisco man in reserve for senator and of
intending to pull the wool little over
the eyes of Colonel Otis. We trust,
however, that Colonel Otis will discover
their little trick before long.-Oakland
ENQUIRER.
The herald., 1897-11-13

1878 no members more deeply influ-
enced that body than Colonel Ayers and
his friend. voIney r. Howard. also a
Los Angeles delegate. The influence Of
Colonel Ayers work and writings was
always for the best interests Of the peo-
pie of this state, and did much to mould
its destiny.
The present editor Of The Herald was
a close associate of Colonel Ayers for
many years in newspaper work, and can
bear testimony to the fact that his char
acter was noble and inspiring in the
everyday walks Of life, no less than on
greater occasions which are supposed to
develop the heroic virtues. 1t has been
so with all who came near enough to
Colonel Ayers to know the true nobility
of his soul, the greatness of his intel
lect and the beauty Of a character so
free from all that was base and small,
so simple, so void of conceit, so kindly
in all it's impulses and so naturally true
to the best interests of our race.
In his death this community has lost
a man who wrought long and wisely for
its good and the state has lost one of the
most useful citizens it ever held within
it's borders.
The herald., 1897-11-13
THE FREE SEED FRAUD

The American Seed Trade association
has again taken up the cudgel against
the free distribution of seed by the
United States government It will be
remembered that ]. Sterling Morton
made vigorous fight against this USE
less extravaganza and that he was
over-ruled by congress, many of the
members imagining that the free distri-
button would help them with their agri-
cultural constituencies.
When Secretary Wilson succeeded Mr..
Morton in the agricultural department,
he expressed an opinion regarding the
seed matter similar to that of his prede-
cessor. A little later it was given ouc
that the free seed distribution was man.
datory upon the secretary of agricul-
ture by act of congress, but that the
astute Mr. Wilson had hit upon plan
that would reduce the evil of the distr-
button to minimum. He would send
special packages where they would do
the most good, instead of sending them
out haphazard, like a small boy with
lot of handbills. He would send sugar
beet seed to the sugar beet districts;
tobacco seed to the tobacco districts. In
this way he would trump greedy con-
gressmen and take a trick at the same
time.
The seed men now assert that the be-
Of tor
snare and a delusion. They say that he
does not even intend to secure and dis
tribute new, rare and promising special
ties. They point in anger and derision
to the advertisement inviting bids, which
call for the old familiar seed of beet,
cabbage, carrot, celery, cucumber, egg
plant, lettuce, cantaloupe, watermelon,
onion, parsnip, radish, rutabagas,
squash, tomato, turnip, beans. peas,
sweet and field corn, tobacco, Australian
salt bush, cotton, cowpeas, Canada field
peas, vicia villosa, alsike clover, alfalfa,
Bermuda grass, lawn grass, mangel-
wurzel, kidney vetch, and choice vari-
cites of flowers.
These are the commonest stock seeds,
such as the seedsmen furnish at ridicu-
lousy low prices. The latter declare
that the free distribution of seeds has
tendency to pauperism and to create
dependence upon the government; that
it savors of bribery and corruption, and
that it is extremely destructive to the
business of seedsmen, who have the
right to look to the government for pro-
lection of their interests, as they are
compelled to pay their quota of taxes.

WHAT MAKES MONEY

Our neighbor. the Express, speaks
through it's columns every evening to
some thousands of people, and clearly 1t
ought to be informed on all matters of
common interest in order that it may not
mislead it's readers. In view of this fact
it is to be deplored that it cannot be made
to understand that money is the creature
of law. We have put this matter before
our neighbor several times, but somehow
he don't appear to catch on. We have
tried to illustrate it in the simplest way
possible by telling him that the metal in
a nickel piece is worth only the fraction
of a cent, but STILL when he happens to
leave his pass in his other pants, he can
pay his fare on the street car with this
little piece of nickel, when it has five
cents stamped on it, as the law requires.
That little v you see on it makes it
worth about a dozen times what the
nickel mine owner got for it. We have
assured our neighbor that this extra
value is given to the little round piece of
nickel by law, and that all money, fol
centuries and centuries past, has been
made in the same way, whether made
out of silver or gold, or paper, or copper,
or nickel, or any other material.
Whatever the government declares by
law to be money is money when the
stamp of the law is impressed upon it.
Without the authority of law no ma
terial is money, Our neighbor must un-
derstand that unlimited gold and silver
is no more money than spoons or paper,
but when minted or printed according
to law, as money, it is money.
Each nation makes its own money, of
of such material as it pleases. In Eng
land it is the pound in gold and in
Bank of England notes, in France the
silver franc, in Germany the mark, and
so on. In the United States dollars are
in gold and silver and United States
notes. called greenbacks. The basis of
all money is the credit of the country.
Bullion, or coin, in a government treas
ury is no better security than the public
credit, for without the credit there is no
assurance that it will be used for re-
demption purposes. 1t is just as sensible
to have paper money to redeem gold
money as it is to have gold money to re-
deem paper money. The reliance must
be on the credit of the nation. If that is
sound all it's obligations will be good
and all its money current.

EAST SIDE DRAINAGE

The disposal of storm water is a seri-
Gus problem during the winter months.
The city has been put to large expense
because suitable means of carrying off
the surplus water have never been pro-
vided The East Side has perhaps been
the worst sufferer from this cause.
City Engineer Dockweler has submit
ted plans to the city council whereby
the drainage of that section of the city
may be changed so as to avert floods in
the future. BY this scheme each street
would carry it's own proportion Of the
surplus water and distribute it to diff
ferent points, so that there would be no
danger of flood at any place.
The expense of carrying out the city
engineers plan would be something over
$5OOO This seems a large sum to spend
in one section of the city for such a
purpose, but the engineer points out
that the city has already expended more

A Great Opportunity

Senators White and Perkins will have
an opportunity, during the next ses-
sion of congress, to earn even greater
degree of gratitude than has been ac-
corded to them for their effective zeal
in the harbor matter. The United
States own the mountains and the des-
erts, probably nineteen-twentieths of
the area of Southern California. The
mountains are vast reservoirs Of water,
and the deserts would blossom If the
reservoirs were tapped and utilized. The
government should by thorough invest
igation and tests demonstrate how and
where the water may be advantageously
developed, and how most economically
conducted to the present waste places.

Continuous Political Performance

The principal development Of the year
is the fact that the country has entered
upon what may be called "the continu
Gus performance" in politics. Hitherto
there have been "off years" in campaign
ing. After a vigorously contested pres
idential election the people have rested
somewhat from such arduous labOrs.
But, under the new order, 1t has been
year of unusual excitement and, in some
quarters, a continuation of last years
presidential struggle. The congress
elections come next, and they will justly
be reckoned of the highest Importance.
And with the election Of the new con-
gress will begin the maneuvering for
position for 1900, which, of course, will
engage the attention of every man of
influence and responsibility in political
life in the land.-Washington Star.

TIME TO QUIT

The San Jose Mercury quotes from,
The Herald and from the National City
Record concerning the proposed separ-
alton of San Diego county from Califor-
mia and it's attachment to the territory
of Arizona, then it says:
But, in all seriousness, is it not high
time for San Diego county to throw
off its sectional jealousy. which, is di-
rected not only toward this section of
the state, but toward Los Angeles as
we'll? San Diego county, all things con-
sidered, has held it's own with the other
sections of the state. 1t has progressed
wonderfully during the last ten or fif-
teen years. 1t has a magnificent fu-
ture. All it has to do Is to make the
best of it's admirable resources of cli-
mate, soil and production and get rid
of the idea that it is bigger and better
than all the other counties in the state
combined.
The Mercury states the case admir-
ably. In administering rebuke, how
ever, it should not be forgotten that only
small portion of the people of San
Diego county are fostering the feeling
of sectional jealousy that is making
San Diego county ridiculous. The Sec
tional press is chiefly responsible, but
even the newspapers are by no means a
unit in this matter.
San Diego county, with its fine sea-
port, unsurpassed climate and magnifi-
cent horticultural and agricultural pos
sibilities, has no reason to be dissat-
isfied with it's manifest destiny.
