be able to easily divide the trade in
many staples with any competitor on the
coast, and the friendly rivalry that will

D1s1NTEREsTED TESTIMONY

The Herald prints elsewhere this morn
ing a very interesting and important
communication from Mr.. B. r. Baum
gardt, secretary of the Southern Cali
fornia Academy of Sciences, upon the
subject of the various sources Of water
supply available to this city.
For the last eighteen months the
Academy has been investigating the
character of the water supplies Of Los
Angeles, including therein a series of
thorough analyses. The outcome of
these analyses show the city to own
the sources of supply Of the purest and
best drinking water which has so far
come under analysis" The popular
idea about the extreme purity of noun
tain water in Southern California" says
Mr.. Baumgardt, "is not supported by
the results of chemical and bacteriolog-
ical analysis. The amount of decayed
vegetable matter contained in mountain
water, except in cases where it Is OBJ
tanned direct from the melting Of the
SHOWS, appears to be considerable and a
serious objection. On the other hand,
water that has been filtered through
sand is apparently freed from contain
nation"
Mr.. Baumgardt's assertions are borne
out by an analysis made by Prof. A. ].
McClatchie, the chemist and bacteriolo-
gist for the agricultural I'D expert
mental section of the Academy Of Sci
ences, and a man whose ability, sound
Judgment and integrity cannot be called
into question.
1t should be borne in mind that the
investigations of the academy have been
thoroughly impartial, in the interests
of science and of the city of Los Angeles.
This water business is much like the
trouble with Spain, in that it is time
to keep cool, be sure Of our facts. and
know that we are right before going
ahead. The water jingoes would pursue
exactly the opposite policy, regardless
of facts and the expense. The people
foot the bills.

HUNTMGToN'S PRIVILEGE

No one will be disposed to lay stumb-
ling blocks in the way Of Coils P.
Huntington's mooted philanthropic
scheme of building a breakwater at
Santa Monica, and otherwise improving
the harbor at that point. Deep-sea ports
are good things, and we can scarcely
have too many. Indeed, it is more than
probable that, in the course of time, pri
vate and corporate enterprise will sup
plement governmental effort to improve
the commercial facilities of the coast, as
it already has done in Texas. There
was strong competition for the favor of
congress, in the matter of appropriations
for harbor improvement there, but the
prophecy made, at the time something
like six million dollars was given to Gal
weston, that it would result in the making
of several deep harbors on the Gulf
coast, without cost to the government,
has already become history. Great
progress has since been made in this
we'll as at the mouth Of the Brazos,
eighteen feet of water having been Sc
cured at all three points, with the GER
tainty that when the works under way
are completed the largest ocean vessels
plying in that trade will be able to re-
ceive and discharge their cargoes direct
from the wharves.
Government aid in such vast undertake
ings is always desirable, and has here
tofore been deemed essential, but when
it fails to materialize, private enterprise
may be depended upon, in many obvi-
ously worthy instances, to supply the
facilities necessitated by the growth of
commerce and the progress of develop
ment.
Mr.. Huntington can yet secure some
thing of monopoly in the carrying
trade at Santa Monica, providing he has
the price. He is, at all events, privi-
legged to loosen" at will, and The Herald
hopes he will not long delay the act.

TO CONSUMMATE THE GIFT

In announcing his intention to donate
a park to the city, little more than a
year ago, Mr.. G. j. Griffith used the fol-
lowing significant language:
Recognizing the duty which one who
has acquired some little wealth owes to
the community in which he has pros
pered, and desiring to aid the advance
ment and happiness of the city that
has been for so long, and always will be,
my home, am impelled to make an
offer, the acceptance of which by your
selves, acting for the people, 1 believe
will be a source of enjoyment and pride
to my fellows and add a charm to our
beloved city.
These words express the sentiments,
not only of a generous citizen, but of a
true philanthropist. A great writer
once said: ITO do good to my fellow man
is my religion" and no nobler spirit can
actuate any person.
Tomorrow afternoon, at the city hall,
Mr.. Griffith will consummate his cher
ished plan of endowing the city of Los
Angeles, not only with the largest city
park in the United States, but with q
territory that has unique and striking
features Its long river margin, it's
frostless belt, its varied forest growths,
and it's lofty mountain peak contain pos
sibilities for future development along
novel lines that are unrivaled. The
southern border of this park is only five
miles from the city hall, and the high
mountain summit but seven or eight

TO FLEECE THE CITY

The San Francisco Call continues its
ton against those who have the common
sense and the courage to oppose the ex-
= travagant; unbusinesslike and imprac-
-ticable schemes of the agitators in the
city government. Just now it is engaged
in bolstering up the claims and the
schemes set forth in the report of the
mountain water committee of the city
council, which seeks to fasten upon the
city an enormous needless expense in the
acquisition of a new water supply.
~ The Call, in a special dispatch from
this city, after few paragraphsd devoted
to abuse of the daily newspapers here,
says:
The city can get pure mountain water
cheaper than it can stand by and be
robbed for the benefit of the stockhold-
ers of the City Water company. In
the Crystal Springs litigation now pend .
ing the city can lose the case and still
furnish the ratepayers pure mountain
water for less sum than that at which
the company values it's alleged Crystal
Springs water rights.
The city can proceed now with it's
plans for municipal operation and leave
the buncombe litigation the water COM
pany has caused to be instituted to be
settled in the courts at the leisure of
the judges. If decision does not come
for ten years it will not make any diff
ference to municipal operation.
1t will be observed that the Call ig-
nores the fact that the city owns the
water of the Los Angeles river, an en-
tirely adequate source of supply, and
regards contemptuously tho litigation
into which the city has entered in order
to protect those rights.
This shows clearly the plan and pur-
pose of the water conspirators and their
San Francisco organ. They aim to force
the city into the needless expenditure
of from one to three millions Of dollars
for a mountain water supply in addition
to the price that will have to be paid the
water company for it's improvements, or
to construct a new distributing system.
The Herald believes that the people
of Los Angeles will not vote bonds in
aid of such needless extravaganza.
Those who are promoting the mountain
water scheme cannot be credited with
any good, disinterested purpose.

gated?

That the retirement Of the greenbacks

That the adoption of the gold standard

That Hawaiian annexation would be
urged?
That interference in the Cuban war of
determination would not be considered
That national banker would be placed
at the head of the treasury?
That executive influence would be en-
ployed to secure senatorial seat for

That the interest on the Pacific rail-
road debt would be abated?

ment over that of Mr. Cleveland?

oUsTED FROM OFFICE
An Illinois Mayor Spent Too Much
for Beer

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio. March 3.-The cir

Mayor John NJ. Good from Office. The
proceedings were brought under the Gar
field election law, which requires candi-
dates, after the election, to file sworn
statements of all their expenditures. Judge
Adams said that the testimony showed
that Mayor Good spent $2S33O In the cam
paign that he failed to include in his
sworn statement of expenses, which ac-
counted for only A5. OF the above amount
$91 was spent for beer.
Mayor Good also promised the Trades

man on the board of public affairs, which
Is against the law, and that organization
backed the custer proceedings. Mayor
Good Is one of the most prominent business
men in Springfield. This was his first ex-

puted, but not carried to the courts. Mayor
