THE CAMINETTI ROW

Much valuable ink is being spattered
in Sacramento over the alleged whole
sale bribery of members of the legisla-
turc The scapdal grows out of the
Caminetti bill. relating to the disqualt-
fication of Judges of The higher courts
to sit in particular cases The charge
that has been made is that indefinite
members received indefinite sums from
indefinite corruptionists representing
the Hale < Norcross litiga ton. But per-
haps the most remarkable thing about
this unsavcry excitement sis the Pan
dora box that its opponents have dis
covered tucked away in this common
place measure True, the bill may pos
sibly be the veriest magazine of unex-
ploded villainy. but man of hard sense
will be slow to believe it until the facts
are made plain.
1t provides, in brief, that rule Of
stricted to the judges of the inferior
courts, for more than forty years, shall
be extended to apply also to the judges
Of the superior courts. The obnoxious
rule is that when either party to an ac-
ton makes and files an affidavit that
he believes he cannot have a fair trial
before the presiding judge by reason
of the prejudice of the latter, he will be
entitled to have the case tried before
some other judge; but only one such
change is to be given either party.
Now this certainly seems just, and IL
it is not just as to every court under our
system it is difficult to see why it is
either fair or just as to any of them.
Our justices of the peace and our
superior court judges are usually the
selections of the same caucus, the nom
inees of the same convention, and the
choice of the same electors. Their courts
have concurrent jurisdiction in many
cases, and herce the logical reason is
wanting why zeus and Apollo should
not bow to the same law And then, too,
the unfortunate litigant whose interests
hang in the balance ought to have some
rights, if he honestly suspects that the
machinery is from any cause defective.

r!cKinley ond Spoiis

Washington advices indicate that the
first raid of the "spoilsmen' under the
Mckinley administration is to be made
on the foreign consulships. The reason
for selecting this branch of the civil SER
vice as the best point of attack is that
doubtless Cleveland's act in extending
the law to these offices was clear usur-
ration of authority. The "spoilsmen
feel that they can break through that
part of the line easier than through any
other.
But when the consulships are all filled,
not / per cent of the "spoismen' will
have been provided for. Then Mr.. Nc
Kinley will learn from divers and sun
dry sources that while the frequent ex-
tensions of the law in other branches
were not illegal, the law itself has so
many loopholes that every Democrat
who is left in Office is there by Repub-
lican sufferance, and not for lack of pow
err. real or technical. to remove him.
Mr. Mckinley would not, at best, be
strong enough to resist the claims of the
men who have elected him. Much less
will he defy them when he Is looking to
the friends and representatives of these
men to support Mckinley policy in
congress.
The "spoilsmen" have Mckinley down

PARK BOULEVARD

Now that the work of the street.
naming commission has been concluded
and its labors have received the sane
tion of the mayor and council, as well
as OF those who were dissa tisfied with
the original report, it would be good
time to inaugurate some definite and
sensible plan of street improvement in
Los Angeles. This city is already known
rs a distinctively show town, in the
sense that tourists come here in large
numbers to enjoy our climate and the
beautiful trees and flowers which the
climate makes possible, and, because OF
this reputation, We shouldd do more than
ether cities Go to keep our streets clean
and cur drives attractive.
We need a number OF street improve
ment clubs. each of which should un-
dertake the planting of trees in front OF
every lot within certain limits; see that
bluegrass and flowers are planted be-
tween the curb and sidewalk lines; see
that the streets are properly graded
and kept clean, enforce the law against
contractors who tear up the streets ard
conveniently forget to put them in or
der when they are through with their
Job; endeaVor TO secure uniform
building line back from the sidewalks,
and do the score of other things reces-
sary to make our streets attractive and
beautiful to residents and tourists alike.
The owners of Figueroa street prop.
erty, for instance, can we'll afford to set
= good example in this lire by organic
ing to improve that street from Sixth
street to the southern city limits on csr-
tain harmonious lines. The strae;
should be uniformly graded its entire
length; the surface covered with Gisin-
tesrated granite, where not already
paved, and the cutters paved with as
phaltum. as is now done below Wash
ington street. They might then have the
roadway kept clean by some system Of
sweeping, not necessarily expensive. but
effective and with results pleasing to
the eye ard olfactory nerves. Counted
with these things, there should be a
uniform planting of trees, the fan ana
date palm, sugar gum and dragon palm,
pepper and red gum, along its entire
length. Every lot. occupied or vacant,
should be fronted with handsome trees
and grass. The enterprising and pub
llc-spirited property owners can well af-
ford to pay for making these improve
ments in front of lots whose owners re.
fuse to DO so. and in few years--a,

g. FREE SEEDS

The Herald is in receipt of some free
seeds from Washington. We beg to ac-
knowledge the seeds ard to express the
proper sentiments to the congressional
sender. 1t will be remembered that sew
eral secretaries of agriculture, ard
notably Secretary Morton, have en-
deavored to limit and, if possible, end
the free distribution Of seed. None of
them could ever overcome the power Of
those supplying the seeds. These con-
tractors have made each time a desper-
ate fight for their p,under. 1t has been
claimed that the seeds were common
seeds; that those really deserving Of
and lastly only part Of the seeds
bought were ever distributed. Several
members Of congress have been charged
with being in ralke-off and deal with
the seed contractors, whereby they sold
back to the contractors their pro-rata
of the seeds. However these things may
be, some congressman are sending out
seeds
We have received one package of
onion seed, one package of cabbage
seed, one package of lettuce seed and
an overwhelmingly large package of
corn. Corn-fed men generally are a
fine looking lot. Our patrons we trust
VIII soon observe the benencent effects

AN ATTACK ON THE GRAND
JURY SYSTEM

Assembly bill Nc. 200 is a measure that
has quietly slipped through the assem-
bly, 1t is a secret and surreptitious at
tack on the grand jury. The most dam
juror may be held to a libel suit for
any vote or criticism short Of an indict-
ment which he may make in the grand
jury room ard as a grand juror. a
sterographer is to take notes during
the sessions of the grand jury. and
thus furnish a basis for the attack upon
courthouse clique under the leadership
of some of the accomplished political
lawyers affiliated with it, could take it
out of the hide Of a too conscientious
grand juror in such a fashion as to give
lesson not to be forgotten. and that
would protect the boys in the court
house and elsewhere in the public SER
vice against these troublesome inves-
legations of the public service that
come around every year or two.
AT every legislature there is some at
tack upon our grand jury system. These
attacks have heretofore come from the
agents or lobbyists Of the large corpo-
rations. These concerns do not like in
vestigations any more than the poll
ticians This last attack however,
comes from officeholders With such
provision it would take a good deal

had for a long time in this county 70

The value and Importance Of the grand
jury is not fully understood, except by
thescorporatiors dealing in public utili-
ties ard our political criminals. The
people do not quite appreciate what it
is to them. The grand jury is com
mittee of the people charged with hold
ing all public officers responsible in their
trust to the people, Its the only,means
the people have Of examining into the
conduct Of public affairs. The 6iscov-
cry of waste in the public business and
the bringing of this home to the offend
ing officers has been done by our grand
juries alone. The discovery of embez-

PRACTICAL SOLUTION

After several weeks of futile theoriz-
ing, the public is indebted to the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association
for the first practical steps toward the
solution of the unemployed problem. BY
their efforts in a single day the sum Of
$4,000 has been raised, which provides
the nucleus of a fund for the accom-
pl.shment of public improvements by
such deserving citizens as are in need of
work.
The administration of the fund.
which, it is believed. can, without any
difficulty, be enlarged to meet all urgent
demands, is in the hands of sound ani
able business men. The distressed and
the deserving will be cared for, tie tramp
element will be eliminated, and desir-
able public improvements accomplished.
The public owes a debt of graf
itude to the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' association which can best be
acknowledged by subscriptions to its
fund.

AGAINST THE BOTTLING.UP

The city courcil yesterday passed a
passage Of the bill introduced in the leg
isiature by Senator Bulla. prohibiting
competing street car companies from

luton states that the passage of the act
will have the effect of creating monop-
oily of the street railway business in Los
Angeles. for which reason the senators
and assemblymen of Los Angeles coun-
ty are earnestly requested to use their
best endeavors to prevent the enact
mert Of the law. Immediately after the

juries. Nearly every Improvement in
the local public service has been due
to our grand jurles.
We may instarce the present book
keeping in the office of the superintend-
ent of streets. Strange as it may seem,
this Is recent ard the work of a grand
jury. So also the present inventory Of
county property (Which, by the way is
rot now carefully kept up) is the result
of grand jury Initiative. Only few years
ago there was absolutely no record
whatever of the large amount of road
tools and road machinery owned by the
county.
Anyone who really knows the work
ings OF politics is well aware of the pow
erful check against politicalcrime the
grand jury is. Instead of curtailing the
influence. the powers of the grand jury
could most usefuly be increased. If the
grand jury could suspend a careless, In
competent or corrupt public officer, apd
put him. upon an. eSalniIatton TO snow
his fitness for his duties, and remove
him upon a proper showing, we would
have our public business in very diff
ferent condition from what it is.
San Francisco has derived a most
valued protection from its two grand
jurles year. The grand jury is prac-
tically always in session there. Every
orce in awhile they get strong and
fearless body of citizens, like that which
drove Buckley ard his men from power
and from tho state.
The law is the same here. We should
have two grand juries year. we have

Revenue Needed. Not Taxation

When the Mckinley tariff was con-
cocted there was large surplus of reve-
nue. and one of the proclaimed purpose of
legislation and administration was to
stop the accumula ton of the surplus.
The Mckinley tariff did this only too
effectively What Is wanted now is a
reversal of the process which went on
under McKinleyism. The government
wants more revenue and the country
wants less taxation. 1t is not a surplus
of S100 000, goo with which the govern
ment has to deal. but deficit of almost
the same amount, and the new tariff,

bring in money, not to keep 1t OUT

Another Steel Rail Pool Likely

There is a rush Of orders from rail-
roads TO rolling mills for steel rails at
the cut price. The deep cut in prices
since the steel pool dissolved has brought
about the present rush. The rush itself,
however is no indication of permanent
revival in business. The railway man
ayers realize that within few months
one of the parties to the struggle in the
steel and iron market will force the other
to terms, and that after the trust is re-
esta ablished prices will be higher than

were over thirty members Of the Typo
graphical union out of employment In
this city, due to the introduction Of
machinery; that there was not a brick
layer at the present time employed; that
the number of unemployed had been va
riously estimated at from 1000 to 5000;
that l had no correct data to formulate
an opinion; that as far as the matter
of wages was concerned I made no
statement.
The true way to come to q definite
conclusion upon this matter Is to au-
thorize the superintendent Of the Free
Labor bureau or duly authorized COM
mittee, to register the names. occupa-
ton and residence OF the unemployed.
By this means a correct conclusion may
be arrived at
What is needed most ia the imme-
diate relief of the needy In our midst.
and no one should quibble on the num-
ber of unemployed. When people are in
absolute need, let us not quarrel over
the ways and means to assist them.
