THE MEXICAN WAY

Ten Of the men concerned in the
lynching Of Arroyo. who attempted to
murder Of President Diaz Of Mexi-
co, have been sentenced to death.
and public opinion approves the
verdict. One lynching took place in
our sister republic, and both the
officials and the people seem determined
that there shall not be another.
1t is necessary to recall the circum-
stances in order to appreciate what the
verdict means. Arroyo was an inconse-
quential anarchist. His attempt was
made upon the life of the man most be-
loved and respected in Mexico. Public
opinion was, of course, very strong
against the would-be assassin, yet so
powerful is the feeling there in favor of
law and order, that when ten Of the
lynchers are condemned to death there
are none to say nay. It should be taken
into consideration, too, that some of the
condemned men stood high in official
circles.
1t is impossible to conceive Of such
case occurring anywhere in the United
States. In this country the theory of
lynching is condemned, but the prac-
tice is condoned. Would it not be we'll
if the Mexican idea could be instilled, to
b moderate degree, at least, into the prac-
tice of the United States?
The herald., 1897-11-24
A $4,000 DEFICIENCY

1t has been stated that there will be
q shortage of at least $4,000 in the city
revenues at the close OF the fiscal year
No one, nevertheless, need bubble over
the giving of few dollars each month
to deserving charities; appropriations
Of this kind have not made shortage
of $4,000.
1t will be necessary, however, to exer-
else rigid economy. 1t will not do to
leave big deficiency for another year
to take care of, a plan which has been
in vogue with careless and improvident
city fathers from time inmemorial.
The city of Los Angeles provides as;
much money for municipal expenditures
as any other city of the same size in the
country. Our people are willing to be
taxed to any reasonable extent, provided
the money is honestly and economically
expended; but the finances of the city
must not be conducted in a manner that
indicates a lack of regard for sound
business principles.
The municipal budget is not matter
of guess work. The city revenues can
be accurately estiInated-Would that the

DEPENDS ON WHAT THEY CALL
MONEY

The following communication comes
to this office:
To the Editor of The Herald: Please
explain to a reader of The Herald this:
We read about the deficit from defect
i've revenue. and still money is accumu-
lating in the treasury vaults. If there
is a deficit, cannot understand why
money accumulates. Most Republicans
are harping on the increased millions
in the treasury. Please explain in The
Herald. JULES REDD.
Pasadena, Nov 17th.
The inquiry is quite natural under the
circumstances. OF course if our Repub-
would not have so much to say about
millions accommodating in the treasury
when the monthly reports of the depart
ment show that the government is stead.
lily taking in far less amount than it is
paying out But Republicans recognize
only one kind of circulating medium as
money. There is steady accumulation
of gold in the treasury, the amount being
now 155OoO,0 900. But all other forms of
current money show constant shrink
ing on account of the deficit being worked
out by the Dingley bill.
To your true stalwart Republican of
the end of the year 1897, nothing is money
but the yellow metal which England
says may pass current among the ma

with the government for import duties.
are paid out by the government for old
soldiers pensions, are used for pay in
the army and navy and go to the clerks
in all departments.
The same is true of government notes,
silver certificates and other forms of
money, as the average citizen under
stands the word. But your genuine Re-
publican is not an average man in one
sense. He takes extraordinary, some
times eccentric views of things, and
never so much so as when he comes to
regard money. He ignores all kinds of
money excepting the one kind which his
masters in the Bank of England con-
descend to dignity with the name. This
is why he takes such absolute Mark

having control of the treasury know at
all times how much money 10 at their
disposal.
1t will not do. at this time, to put
forward the plea that the charter does
not permit the levying OF tax that will
provide sufficient revenue to meet the
wants Of a city which has grown so
marvelously. The situation is that there
is a certain sum available. and no more.
The coat must be cut according to the
cloth.
The $4,000 deficiency should be wiped
out, If 1t is in the power Of wise and
economical officials to accomplish 1t.

BUNCO STEERERS AND THE
LAW

Deputy District Attorney Chambers,
in response to request from the police
department, has given it as his opinion
that in some instances prosecution for
conspiracy will lie against bunco steer
ers, provided sufficient testimony can
be secured to substantiate the charges
made by the victims.
If sufficient testimony is secured"
why should not prosecution lie in other
instances as we'll as in some? Why not
in all, if the requisite testimony is OBJ
tanned?
In any event, the police department
should do the best it can with the slim
comfort extended by the district attor-
ney's office. 1t is, as Mr.. Chambers says,
impossible to lay down the exact course
of procedure sin any given case, until
the circumstances are brought to the
attention of the district attorneys office.
Let the police press the button and we
shall see if the district attorney will do
the rest.
