the very shadow of the Maine disaster
the state department was engaged in
the negotiation of commercial treaty
with Spain upon a Cuban basis, year
and half after the st. Louis platform
had declared that Spain had lost control
of the island.
The presidents annual message to
congress was also a complete straddle
so far as it related to the Cuban ques-
ton. 1t gave the Spanish government
an opportunity to gain more time by
putting forth the abortive and useless
policy of autonomy. If Mr.. Mckinley

months ago. carried out the declaration
Of his party platform, and listened to the

Street Paving
N
Observation-Disclosures rE HaaaaA

The abuses that have become enthroned
in Los Angeles in the construction, repair
and replacing of pavements when cuts are
made, have become an impediment to the
use of our streets, an injury to the city and
its business and heavy tax upon all prop
erty owners.
With our leading thoroughfares being cut
up and prospectively to be further and in
definitely cut into, and the property owners
forced into general repairs of streets all
fully constructed and paid for by them,
our citizens should and must end the
abuses. 1t has become a matter of self.
preservation. The repaving and repair Of
fully constructed, accepted and paid for
streets is contrary to the law of Califor-
MIA and against the accepted rules of cities
everywhere. An article is now in prepara-
ton on this paving question. Pending its
publication, all citizens are requested to
look at the present open cuts in the prin-
cipal streets and notice the way the con-
nections by various corporations using the
streets have been made. In scarcely
single case has the foundation concrete
been replaced as 1t was. In some instances
the asphalt has been laid on plain dirt, i'll
tamped. This is one of the main causes
of the bad condition of the pavements.
These cheating and dishonest methods
of replacing the pavement are now in plain
sight and beyond denial. Look, citizens,
for yourselves, and see what has beeV
done, and what is being done.

A HINT OF DANGER

The San Diego Union intimates that
the San Pedro item is likely to be con-
tested in the senate. The wish is doubt
less paternally related to the thought
and yet it will not be safe to assume
that Mr.. Huntington has fired his last
round of ammunition. Besides, sena-
torial rules are different from those
governing the house, and items in ap-
preparation bills have there been taken
up after approval or rejection and again
considered, with varying results.
The enemies Of San Pedro may yet
have it in their power to throw the item
in question into conference, and there
compass it's defeat behind the closed
doors of the committee room. When
measures go to conference somebody
must yield; for compromise is the essen
tial basis of agreement upon contested
questions, and the embarrassin fact
that important concessions have been
made usually develops when it is too
late to make another and stronger eff
fort.
We do not presume our bay contempo-
rary has any information upon the sub
ject; but it will be we'll for the friends
of harbor Improvement to double the

military, a commercial or political
nOint of view.

military, a commercial or q political
point of view.
Commercially the two nations are
almost as one in their interests already,
and it requires but little stretching of
the imagination to see the day when our
commercial laws shall be practically
alike for the interchange of manufac-
lures turned out from the mills and
looms of the two nations.
From military outlook the prospect
is somewhat more dubious, but it can
be foreseen that a time might come,
contingencies might arise, when the eX
istence of one nation might depend upon
the good will of the other. This idea is
based upon the indsputable fact that
the welfare of the civilized world is in
the keeping of the English federation
of people and anything to break or dis
rupt the federation would be catastro-
phe of worldwide significance.
"Closer relations, politically, perhaps,
may be only an aspiration for the COM
ing years to solve. but that there will be
strong affiliation between the two pao-
pies is almost a demonstration. Our
manners and customs are, to all intents
and purposes, identical at the present
time and when to all these facts there
is added an overwhelming one of a COM
mon origin and language, it seems as
though there could be but one outcome
, of the friendship between these two
great nations.
Already the silent influences of all
that makes civilization, learning and
good government stand behind the two
countries in about equal portions. The
recent sympathetic utterances from
England over the terrible tragedy Of
the Maine show the sort of stuff the
Englishman, when untrammeled by cir
cumstances, is made of. And it has
been a source of great satisfaction to the
thinking men under both flags that the
solicitude for the dead and regret for
the accident have been shared almost
equally by all right thinking English
men and Americans"

ADMINISTRATION HORSE PLAYS

The government is getting into close
are upholding the hands of the admin
istration, if they cannot endorse it's pol
icy. A very grave crisis exists, and it
begins to look as if it was induced in no
small degree by the foolish horse play
acts of the administration at Washing
ton, and the policy of delay, parley and
inaction that has permitted the present
serious conditions to arise.
The sending of the Maine to Havana
may be characterized as a most foolish
blunder. 1t seems probab BILE that the ap-
pearance of the Maine at Havana, and
the complementary visit of the Vizcaya
to New York were part of pre-arranged
plan on the part of the Sagasta and
Mckinley administrations. a sort of
grand stand play that was expected to
delude the people of both nations. But
the Weylerites, or some one else at Ha-
vana, spoiled the play by blowing up
the Maine One thing has led to another
until now war stares us in the face.
The Republicans are forever telling
how their party carries out its pledges,
how it means what it says, every time"
The Republican platform adopted at st.
Louis, in 1885, the platform on which
Mr.. Mckinley was elected, after express
ing deep sympathy for the suffering
Cubans, said:
The government Of Spain, having lost
control OF Cuba, and being unable to
protect the property or the lives of
resident American citizens, or to COM
ply with it's treaty obligations, we be-
lieve that the government of the
United States should actively use it's
influence and good offices to restore
peace and give independence to the
island.
Is it possible that the administra ton
does not know what "actively" means?
Or was the mistake that of the distin-
guished platform makers at St. Louis?
And how did the president interpret it
in practice? Mr. McKinley's policy has
been one of straddling, temporzing and
delay ever since he entered the executive
office. Mr.. De LONE made very bad

formerly leased to the water company
by the city has been completely replaced;
that the schedule of the improvements
and plant now owned by the company
has already been submitted to the
council.
Then follows the statement that the
Crystal Springs company does not claim
the water as part of the improvements
which the city must purchase under the
contract. This admission is held by
the city attorney to be a vital point,
and one which the request made by the
council was particularly desired to bring
forth.
Thus the city, by making haste slowly
and proceeding in accordance with the
advice of it's legal counsel, is making
marked progress in the matter of it's
water controversies. The red flag raw
ings of the professional agitators at the
city hall are made extremely absurd
in the light of developments. 1t will be
recalled that the San Francisco Call
the foreign organ of the local push, went
into Mysteries over this same matter of
an inventory. The water company was
not ready to report at the end Of the two
weeks specified by the council, and the
Call characterized the delay as zone of
the most fagrant outrages ever per-
petrated against the public in Califor-
MIA" But such is the gall of the Call
that it will undoubtedly declare that the
advantage just gained by the city was
owing entirely to its own efforts. Watch
for Tuesdays paper and see If it doesn't.
Intelligent, reasoning people, however,
will take note that the city, by following
the advice of its counsel and ignoring
the irresponsibles and the agitators, is
standing on firm ground at all points
of its controversy with the water COM
pany. And the latter, after all that has
been said, has not even stolen the water
works!

DUTY NO LONGER IN DOUBT

Whatever Interpretation may be placed
upon the halting policy of the admins
tration regarding Cuba-dictated by
Jealous patriotism upon the one side, or
inspired by not too commendable par
tisan bias on the other-there is no de-
nying it's potency in swaying European
sentiment in favor of a policy, however
vigorous, the United States may now
adopt to put a stop to Spanish cruelty
and oppression in Cuba.
Public sentiment in England, more re-
sponsive than elsewhere on the conti-
be crystallizing in support of the doc
trine of intervention as an American
duty, and the only criticism volunteered
is that perhaps we have been trifle too
complaisant under the irritating cir
cumstances; that we have lacked the
courage of our convictions, and given
too much consideration to what the
world may think of us-what the verdict
of the universe will be-when that ver-
dict must so obviously favor the main
contention. Thus are we told, in late
London cable, that an impression al
most amounting to conviction prevails
there that public opinion will compel
the government of the United States to
acknowledge the Cubans as belliger-
ents," and to Intervene between Cuba
and SPAIN"
England may not refuse to sell ships
and war munitions to Spain, and yet we
are advised by the same telegram that
the government has counseled those who
have these things to sell to demand cash
for them of Spain, circumstance which
may be construed into a shrewd hint
that the British government may not in
the future be relied upon to collect un-
liquidated claims against that country
In letter to the queen regent, when
the Spanish government decided to grant
phasized the attitude of the civilized
world toward the patriots cause:
Remember that the whole of Europe
sympathizes with Cuba, and that no
civilized nation would dare to hinder
the United States from giving inde-
pendence to Cuba. You will be able to
retain Cuba by granting the most broad
measure of autonomy.
If the whole of civilized Europe sympa-
thized with Cuba before the failure of
autonomy had been so conspicuously
demonstrated, and was then prepared TO
justify the interference upon the part of
the United States, how can there now be
a shadow Of doubt as to our duty as

FUSION IN SEATTLE

The friends of silver in Seattle in their
municipal ticket have shown how it is
possible to unite the forces of bimet-
allism against the Republican party,
which represents the odious single gold
standard.
The Seattle Times prints at the head of
it's editorial columns ticket composed
of Populist for mayor, a Democrat for
corporation counsel, Silver Republican
for comptroller, a Democrat for treas
urer, and a Democrat and a Silver Re-
publican for councilmen at large. For
the nine ward counclmen there are two
Populists, four Silver Republicans and
three Democrats.
That ought to prove a winning COM
bination, and it is likely to be bad Re

should be followed in Los Angeles.
