THE CITIZENS TICKET
To the Editor of the Los Angeles
Herald: Now that more electric rail-
roads are knocking at our doors for
franchises, we especially need an elec-
tion of the citizens and not of party. that
the will Of the people may be repre-
sented in choice of candidates for trus-
tees. The present state of things de-
mands broad-guaged views; and we
cannot hope for this from partisanship.
Corporations now in existence, or those
to come into existence, can control party
easier than the people who come out of
all parties. We know that strings lead
from corporations to party, or machine
politics, which is the same thing, which
annul the will of the people. Often we
find the sright Of petition denied us
though five heads know more than If
teen hundred. Pasadena desires that
the will of the people shall be supreme
in her tribunals and that her officers
must know they are the peoples SER

FROM LAKE TO SEA
Congress Is Asked to Consider Canal.
Building Projects


NEW YORK, Feb. THE Secretary
of War invites the attention of Congress
to the deslrability of continuing the work
now in progress under the board of en-
gineers for deep water ways during the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1899, as no
estimate for this work was included in
the estimates submitted heretofore, says
the Tribune's Washington correspond
ent. In brief, the duties imposed on the
board Of Congress are to examine and in
vestigate certain projects for deep
water ways from the head of Lake Su-
perior to tide water, the Hudson river,
and to prepare plans and estimates of
the cost. The commission In 1897 esti-
mated the cost at not less than $6O0, 900.
After careful consideration, the board
Is of the opinion that the 1928, 900 can be
prof1tably expended on the work during
the year ending June 80, 1899.
1t therefore recommends that this sum
be appropriated and says thatifa smaller
sum is granted the cost Of administration
and supervision for the whole work will
be increased. The board says that 1t

LEGATIONS are to be made by the board of

NICARAGUAN EXILES
REJOICE AT THE PROSPECTS OF
REVOLUTION
Confidence Expressed That the Present
Uprising Means the Early Fall
of President Zelaya 4

NEW YORK, Feb. TT have seen a
letter dated San Jose, Costa Rica, a week
ago, stating that there was soon to be a
revolution in Nicaragua and asserting
that Costa Rica was backing the move-
ment." says the Panama correspondent
Of the Herald.
"The revolution in Nicaragua will be
a great setback to the work of the
United States Canal Commission.
"Nicaraguan exiles in this city are ju-
bilant at the outbreak, and predict that
President Zelaya, although successful
in crushing in his four years Of office
many revolutions, will have to fall now.
This movement is the result of fusion
of the Conservative party with the dis
sident Liberal wing.
II learn from the revolutionary Junta
here that DR.. Adam Cardenas, who was
President of Nicaragua from 1883 to 1887,
Is at the head of band which invaded
San Juan del Sur from the Costa Rica
frontier. The Junta refuses at present
to disclose it's plans, but says the reb-
els are well supplied with arms and
money. Members of the Junta will
probably leave here for Salvador on Feb
ruary 10th.
Even this continues favorable to the
cause of the rebels. A large number Of
Nicaraguan exiles in Salvador are ready
to join the revolution. Honduras, in re-
turn for Nicaragua's aid in putting down
the Puerto Cortes uprising headed by
Enrique Soto recently, will support Pres
ident Zelaya, but he is not expected to
receive any comfort from Salvador"

NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-Other than to
take measures to protect the Nicara-
guam canal commission from injury, the
administration will not interfere in any
way in the revolution in Nicaragua, says

The matter of granting pleasure wharf
franchise at the foot of Railroad avenue
to j. c. Elliott had been referred to the

Of the Southern Pacific company's old
wharf, franchise for another wharf with
in that distance could not be given. The
city attorney today rendered an opinion
that the Southern Pacific company still
held its franchise, and for that and other
reasons franchise could not be granted
at the foot of Railroad avenue. Mr. ELI
oft and his attorney, Mr.. Kemp, were both
present, and Attorney Kemp took issue
with the city attorney as to the validity

boards right to grant Mr.. Elliotts petit
