Receiver Applied For,

A receiver has again been applied
for to take charge Of the Hutchinson
and Southern railroad. The case was
brought in the United States court at
Wichita. 1t was brought by an f. G..
Smith Of Colorado, who Is In some way
connected with the Rock Island. u.
L. Wise Of this city is acting as his
attorney. The plaintiff alleges that he
was connected with the old manage
ment Of the road and owned an intel
est in IL, but was frozen out" by the
present management, by such tricks
and ruses as only men familiar with
the dark and peculiar ways OF corpor-
atoms understand. 1t seems Smith
claims to have been one of several who
purchased the road several years ago,
and he with several others Issued
their notes IN payment, and In return
he claims he never got any stock
The company claims that when the
notes fell due he had no money to pay
them, and consequently has no right
to claim stock. The managers OF the
company declare it to be a plain "holc
up" They say the road is paying
now and receiver would be very I'm
fortunate.
Ill. Wise went to Manitou to ar
que the question before Judge Will

CUISINES" BEHIND 1T ALL

The foreign holders of Spanish war

now daily increasing in worthlessness.
Another set of usurers on this side of
the water, and mainly in New England,
are just now furnishing the inspiration
for the jingo contention that the Ha-
waiian islands are essential to the safety
of the United States. In like manner
does the enormous Turkish debt serve
the purpose Of postponing dismember-
ment: and in manner not dissimilar
will the financial obligations of the Chi
nese empire shape the varying attitude
of the powers from time to time. The
Golfers of the money changers must con-
tinue to be protected by the fleets OF
the nations, even though the massacre
of Christians in Armenia goes on for
ever; even though human liberty Is
crushed to death in the Antilles, and the
defenseless people of the South Sea

THE TABLES TURNED

A rate war of considerable proportions
fects of which will have more than or
dinary significance to the merchants of
San Francisco and the Sound cities. The
demand of the Canadian Pacific upon
the Western Traffic association for re-
newal of the differentials heretofore en-
joyed by it having been turned down,
the new tariff sheet of the road has been
made to conform to them just the same.
Enjoying beside the advantage of an
average customs duty of 80 per cent
upon the belongings of miners going
into the Yukon country, imposed by the
Dominion government, the situation Is
decidedly adverse to the interests of
merchants and transportation compan-
les on this side of the line. With sup
plies quite as cheap in Canadian mar
kets, outfitters will be prone to take ad
vantage of the lower carrying charges
and immunity from customs duties by
purchasing necessities over there, and
the Canadian Pacific, relieved of what
was intended to be disastrously dam
aging clause of the Dingley tariff BILL
just now seems to be master of the situ-
alton. American competitors announce
determination to meet any tariff it
may promulgate, but costly rate war
is a poor substitute for the eXtraordi-
narily profitable season which they, in
common with the merchants have been
anticipating.

the Chronicle in San Francisco, but II
does not correspond with the sweep of
prizes Southern California has made
against Florida in every competition of
citrus fruits.
In other matters the report is even
worse. Not an olive or walnut or an
almond is double starred in California.
The list of vines Is parody consisting of
nine varieties only, against lightweight
in other sections. In strawberries we
grow only the Wilson. We grow no rasp-
berries. We grow no pomegranates,
and, as elimination of ignorance, the
report says California grows no figs.
Mr.. Mills might well gather a few fig
leaves to cover the nakedness of his iS-
norance of what constitutes a creditable
report on the fruits of California. The
fact is now known and admitted that
neither the state board of horticulture nor
any society of fruit growers in Califor-
MIA was consulted by the report makers
or report endorsers. No one here APP
pears to have known anything about
such an official lists being contemplated
until immense numbers of it were print
ed free and mailed all over the United

can all feel some consolation in the
promise of a correction and special bull
letin for California.

The Herald's Standard

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald:
Allow me to express my high admira ation
of the newspaper ideal which The Herald
proposes for itself in its first brief editor
ial of today. Its declaration that THE
Herald intends to be first of all news
paper, giving the news as it ia. ungarbled
presses a noble resolve. which challenges
can citizen. Happy for our country will
be the day when all the great newspapers
set up the same high standard for them
selves and adhere to it faithfully. 1 am
more and more convinced that one of the
most serious obstacles In the way of our
political betterment Is the placing of par
ty above principle, and party victory above
the public good. I am almost beginning
to fear that percentage of even my own
party-the Peoples party-are becoming
more concerned about "the middle of the
road" and party integrity than they are
about the condition of the country and
practical progress toward their own re-
forms. Reform parties are making a
great mistake in standing up to be count
ed against each other through petty jeal-
ousy and narrowness of vision, instead
Of laying aside their small differences and
uniting upon their vital agreements. But
they will all gradually come to their senses
as the golden fetters keep tightening about
their limbs.
But, returning to the text, I sincerely
wish The Herald great success in carry
ing out its high resolve.

the Call terms the acceptance of that
duty persecution on the part of the

of it.
The newspapers attacked by the Call
have treated Webb fairly in their news

opinions in their editorial columns with

and their views have been based upon
the facts presented. That is all there is
to it, so far as this phase of the matter
is concerned.

THE FACTS IN THE CASE

The San Francisco Call accepts the
interested and malicious statements of
public official, who stands charged
with blackmail ard eXtortion, and who
was the master mind in a combination
formed to conduct the public school
system of Los Angeles in its own inter-
ests; and in so doing it maligns the
newspapers of this city, attempts TO
blacken the character of men whose
regulations and records are above sus-
picion, and seeks to discredit and weak
en- the efforts of the League for Better
City Government to uncover corrup-
ton and elevate the standard of public
service in this city.
II the League for Better City Govern
ment and the majority of the local dali
les are in the wrong in this important
motives to inspire their course. But
there has been no effort to show, for the
sole reason that it would be impossible
10 accomplish that result, that any un-
worthy motive exists This fact alone
brands as impotent and fallacious the
plea that the policy Of the Call is actu-
ated by desire to give both sides a
fair hearing.
The feeling has prevailed in this city
for long time that the board OF educa-
ton, as it was made up at the time the
pending investigation began, was not
worthy of confidence, owing to the fact
that combination c. a majority
of Ihe board, commonly known as
the Solid Six" was managing the
school system in a manner inimical
to the interefts of THE paople. When
the charges Of corruption were made
known they were taken up by the
board. and after a false start, the pros
ecution of the charges was placed with
