Various Suggestions

TO the Editor Of the Los Angeles Herald:
II we are to have the water plant, let us
have 1t for The people. and not for The
uss OF po,.t'cal aspirants. who arc always
very anxious to take care of the dear
PEOPLE. Would 1t not be wise to place the
entire cfnsrol OF the water plant IN tie
hands OF a board of three commissioners,
absolutely rcn-partisan, AMI who should
hold no oil or office Of trust or profit OF
honor In the city? To avoid all political
intrigue, they should be compelled to hire
all their employees either by the day, week
or month, and, as near as possible. from
each OF the leading political parties. and to
pay as near as possible salaries In the ag-
Eregate equal to each party. There should
be book Kept for each party, In which
the name of every employee should be reg.
istered In alphabetical order and the polit-
ical party Of his choice and the salary he
receives. which book should be for the
inspection of every one at ell times.
This would enable the commissioners to
manage the waterworks for the city In
the same manner as three intelligent, hon
est partners would a private business. 1t
would also relieve the council Of much
annoying political wire pulling and
wrangling.
1t seems to me that our council should
be elected by the people at large. and five
would be ample, and do the work much
better than more. There should be but one
assessor and one collector in the county.

court would not admit to political residence
In their camp an army Of soldiers. 1t is 10
be hoped that 1t will not. But the decision
in 1O5 Cal. Reports did admit all the inmates
of all the institutions maintained at public
expense to a political residence, while
occupying such institutions" The constitu-
tional prohibition of this political residence
in publicly supported institutions was
nulllfied upon the declaration Of the occu-
pant of one of them that he intended to
make It his home. 1t was presumed that all
the other inmates of that and other similar
institutions would make the same declara-
ton, so all were counted as voters, and the
political machine that had voted all of
these various institutions triumphed and
its tool was installed In Office. This en-
traordnary decision Is opposed to all th4
decisions of all the other states of the
Union, and especially to those of New
York, Michigan, Ohio and Kansas. A pris-
oner In San Quentin for life might easily
declare his intention to be to make that his
political residence. especially in view of
what favors his superiors could give him
for political support To bring such
criminal into the political arena under our
state courts decision would only require
toning down of what constitutes an 'in-
famous crime" This is the only other i'm
pedment to voting prison or Jail.
Two of the justices who have interpreted
our constitution so as to nulify the consti-
tutional prohibition Of political residence
while occupying an institution supported
at public expense are up for denomination
and reelection. The decision is contrary
to the plain language of the law, agains.
public policy, unjust to the community af-
fected by such institutions votes, and de-
moraliznig to the institution itself.

FARMERS INSTITUTES
Fine Exhibits of Prosperity in San
Diego County

Last week three very large and enthusi-
astic farmers Institutes were held at Fall
brook, Lemon Grove and Ramona, all In
San Diego county. In every case the hall
was beautifully decorated and an exhibit
made that would discount the assertion
that the year was too dry for good crops
in Southern California. At Fallbrock
olives and lemons were of chief interest.
Mr.. Adams of the wonderfully bountiful
Red Mountain ranch exhibited olives that
were praised by all who tested them. At
Lemon Grove lemons and Strawberries took
berries have been shipped from this place
this season. The two varieties grown are
the Arizona Everbearing and the Noble.
The former Is of the finest flavor; the other
is of the finer color and stands up better.
At Ramona nearly all the fruit produced
is of fine quality. Grain and apples are
fairly good, even this season. At all the
institutes the subject of sowing legumes
in winter TO produce nitrogen and humus
was eagerly considered. Urgent invita-
tons were given for 1899 institutes at
Julian, Ell Cajon, Pacific Beach and Ocean
side. where institutes will be held, if 1t is
possible to hold them, as 1t probably will
be at three places at least.
This week institutes will be held at Full
lerton, Aug. Sd and Attn, and Rivera, Aug.
4th and 5th. The one at Tustin has been
postponed.
The September Institutes will occur as
follows: Santa Barbara. 5th. 9Th and 7th;
Ventura, 7th and Sth; Fillmore, 9th; Ingle-
wood. 18th; Pasadena. 18th and 14th. One
or two others may be held. Prof. E. J.

COUNTY FINANCES
San Bernardino's Treasurer Makes O
Satisfactory Report

SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 1.-The first
matter to come before the board of super
visors today was the opening of the bids
for tents for the horticultural commission.
C. w. Foy of this city was awarded the
contract at $10.69 per tent, although there
were bids all the way from SO to $12; but
the sample of cloth furnished by Foy was
the best for the purpose. Other bidders
were A. W. Holdzkom of this city, P. H.
Darlington of Redlands and w. H. Hoegee
Of Los Angeles.
The only other matter of interest, except
the auditing of bills, was adjusting the d.
vidng line between the two new precincts
of Ontario and North Ontario on the east
and Cucamonga on the west, the latter pre-
cinct asking to have the line moved west
ward one mile to conform to the school
district lines better. and 1t was granted.
The report of the county treasurer
showed that there was $94,97564 in the
treasury the LIST of the month, and while the
receipts for July were $31 ,S0S.S7 the ex-
penses were but 2S.366.s3, leaving a bal
ance at present of sss, 417.5S in the county
treasury, which was accounted for by $3.50

WERE MARRIED TWICE
More Details About the Career Of
Chas. Brant

| Few II any people now believe that the
mystery of the assassination of Charles A
Brant In st. Louis last week will ever be
cleared up. But one arrest. that of George
Harding, brother-in-law of Brant has
| been made by the authorities, and after
questioning him the officers were compelled
to admit that his alibi was complete Hard
Ing said that he did not know Brant we'll and
had no idea who could have killed him.
The only reason for the elder Harding's OPP
posing the marriage Of his daughter to
| Brant was on account of the latter's inabil-
ity to support her In the style she had been
| accustomed to enjoy. Miss Harding had
been an invalid for many years and re-
CURED much attention and expensive care
That the apprehension of the elder Harding
was correct appears to have been proved by
he turn of events affairs took
A peculiar feature of the case came to
light recently in the discovery among
Brants effects of marriage certificate
showing that he and Miss Harding had been
| married at Hoboken. N. j., On September
%, 1895, which was previous to their sup
posed first meeting at Redondo. A Chi
cago paper has the following IN reference to
this certificate:
LII MS tiuHh, Uurleu unuer many letters
and private papers, was found marriage
license and certificates, showing that he and
Mile Harding had been secretly married
in Hoboken, N. j., before they met In Los
Angeles. and consequently before their
marriage at her fathers house in this city
George Harding said that this marriage was
unknown to him and he believed that it
would be news TO his father, as he had never
heard mention of 1t. 1t shows that Charles
A. Brant of Los Angeles, CAL, and Mary
Amy Harding, giving her address as Brook
Ign, N. y. were married In Hoboken by
Mayor Pagan, September %, 1895, the wit
nesses being Martha A. Schroeder and Rob-
ert V. Curry. They were married In Octo-
Der. 1896, in st. Louis.
The cause Of the second ceremony is
problem to the police that they cannot
solve.
Excerpts from some letters from the wife
to her husband have been published by this
St. Louis Post-Dispatch, which show her
to have been devoted to him, but wavering
between her love for him and her duty to
her father. The communications are full of
terms of endearment
