POLES GOING UP

The city council last Monday granted
permission to the electric lighting and
telephone companies to erect number
of poles and string wires in the CONDUIT
district. All the permits were granted
on the written coalition that all the
poles and wires should come down
within one year from the time the anti
pole ordinance went into effect From
now on these applications are expected
to be a regular thing at every council
meeting, and several thousand poles
will probably be erected during the COM
ing year. 1t seems question if, when
once in position, they will ever come
down until they are worn out, the writ
ten contract to the contrary notwith-
standing. If the matter comes to
legal issue, the case can easily be
kept in the courts for years by the
handy injunction, and there is no telling
when the end will be reached.
The amendment to the ordinance
should once more be amended. Let the
law be changed so as to permit any
new company that may secure fran
chise to have pole privileges for the
wear on the same terms as those now
existing, and then they will all be on
the same footing. 1t is folly to suppose
that the interested corporations will not
fight the ordinance, if for nothing else
than to gain time, and it is already in
timated that the Lighting company is
preparing to contest it. Let the people
at least have the entering wedge of
competition on telephone facilities, and
then make the fight, if need be. against
the allied corporations, to have the poles
removed and the wires placed under
ground where they properly belong.

UNHAPPY CUBA

The humane sentiment of this coun-
try has been very properly indulging its
resentment of late by hurting figurative
rocks and other such missiles at the dis
tant Turk. Thus occupied we have grad
ually lost sight of the els Atlantic Turk
who is devastating in the Antilles. II
the one-half. or even the one-fourth,
that is reported from Cuba by the corre-
spondents of the eastern newspapers
touching the Spanish barbarity that is
practiced there is true. we have condi-
ton of inhumanity at home that viii
challenge comparison with anything
that has been reported from Armenia
within the past year.
With a few honorable exceptions, the
official figureheads that now dominate
the capital are disposed to look with un-
concern upon a war that has degener-
ated even from that wicked standard
until it presents only the cowardly and
savage murder of communities of wom-
en- and children. The reports give word
pictures of whole communities of non
combatants robbed and outraged by the
Spaniard or corraled in fortified towns
and left to die of starvation. The in
ference is legitimate that Spain, having
found herself unable to conquer place
by her army, has converted the latter
into an organized banditti and sent it
forth upon a mission of devasta ton. The
important question with us ought to be,
if it is not: Are the reports of these
atrocities true? They are not lacking
in detail, and, judging from the many
confirmed horrors of the Spanish cam
paign on the island, in the recent past,
the worst that is now reported is at least
probable.
Senator Morgan, who has taken pains
to keep himself informed in this partic-
ular, and who has exceptional opportun-
tiles of learning the facts, is emphatic in
his denunciation Of these crueltiss. and

A STUPID TRICK

The abstraction of a sheet of the grand
jurys report, which embodied some Sc
rious structures upon the official acts of
Justice Morrison of this city and JUS
tice Rossiter of Pasadena was bungling
and unutterably stupid piece of crook
edness. 1t it was done by some partisan
of the justices in question, then he is
the kind of a friend from whom they
should pray to be delivered. AS might
have been expected, the missing sheet
has been replaced and the notoriety re-
sulting is ten times as great as it would
have been in the original instance.
1t is greatly to be regretted that sus-
Iicion for this atrocious piece of work
and that several other reporters who
had to do with copying the instrument
are placed in an extremely awkward
position. As a rule the newspaper re-
porter is one of the most trustworthy of
men, and while he is granted all sorts
of privileges, a certain professional in
tegrity which abides with him and
amounts to religion, prevents him from
abusing such trusts. That now and then
a reporter is found who lacks this re-
ligion of the craft is as rare as it is
reprehensible.

AN ALLEGED COMBINE"

The New York Times asserts that "a
combine has been formed by the
Rocky mountain states to compel ar
advance in the carpet wool duties to at
least so per cent ad valorem, and on the
average to fully GO per cent" which is
Just double the present rate. The Times
properly points out that there is not
a fleece of carpet wool grown in the
United States and that the proposed tax
is solely to increase the price of by
product of other fleeces. But is 1t fair
to charge that a combine" has been
formed by the Rocky mountain sena-
tors? The New York Evening Post says
that during the last presidential cam
paign Mr.. Hanna was all things to all
men, and that he promised high pro-
tective tariff in return for the senators
support of Mckinley At the same time.
according to good authority, he was
soliciting the aid of the sound money
Democrats and promising them that the
forthcoming tariff bill should be con-
servative one.
The Mckinley administration and its
power behind the throne do not appear
&c advantage which ever view is taken.
At the same time, such statement re-
earding the Rocky mountain senators
should not be so carelessly and broadly
made. Any combine" of Rocky mount
ain senators of the nature referred to
could not possibly include men like
Teller, who did not support Mckinley
and who have distinctly stated that
they should take no hand in tinkering
the tariff. Mr.. Teller and his coadjutors
in the senate are of the firm opinion that
a high protective tariff will not do away
with the existing industrial and financial
evils, and they are anxious to see their
view sustained through the practical
operation of a measure like the Dingley
bill. Perhaps Mr.. Wolcott could tell
something about the alleged combine
ii, indeed, it really exists.
