AFTER THE SPOILS

A question that is as important as the
actual requirement by the city of it's
water works system is the management
and control of the system after it is ac-
quired. The question of municipal
ownership of public utilities is not set
tied when the utilities are acquired by
the municipalities, by any means.
AS The Herald pointed out yesterday,
municipal ownership of our water
system means the addition of another
very important department to our local
government, a department that will
stand for great values, and involve the
handling of large revenues. 1t will ne
cessitate the creation of several import
ant new offices, and there will be con-
siderable patronage at the disposal of
those offices. Nobody understands these
things better than the Push and the Pull.
When it comes to a show down, the
Push and the Pull will be found hanging
together. They have a community of
interest that is stronger than political
hatred or party ties. The bosses stand
by each other. In the last New York
municipal election Boss Platt, seeing
that he could not win, quickly came to
an understanding with Boss Croker, so
that the reform element should not tri-
umph in any case. Croker now helps
Platt in New York City. and Platt helps
Croker in the state legislature, where he
still reigns supreme. Republican prin
ciples and Democratic principles are
secondary matters.
So it is in Los Angeles. in San Fran
cisco, in California. The Push and the
Pull having made common cause, in
the state fight, seek their reward in the
side issues. The water controversy
promises rich pickings if they can win
out. Is there anybody guileless enough
to suppose that they will not claim their
pay in the shape of the rich pickings to
be had from a municipal water system?
The people of Los Angeles must con-
slider these things in connection with
the water question, if their rights are to
be protected and the interests of good
government served. The wolves are
among them in Sleeps clothing.
The herald., 1898-01-27
GET OUT AN INJUNCTION

1t is hardly to be believed that the
legislature will consent to appropriate
more money for the state normal school
at San Diego, under the conditions which
the trustees have saddled on the state
The legislature appropriated $50, 900 for
the school with the understanding that
a site with two buildings, located at Pa
cific Beach was to be selected. The
board of trustees, in the interest, it is al
legged, of a certain street railway and of
coterie of real estate dealers, selected
a site at University Heights, a distant
location, and have accepted plans that
call for the erection of a $100,000 build
ing.
1t is hoped, of course, to push the en-
terprise so far that the state will feel
compelled to appropriate additional
money to complete it. The $4,000 will
surely be wasted unless something is
done. The proper action to take would
be to secure an injunction from the
courts directing the state auditor not
to issue the scrip, thus holding over the
matter until it can be referred to the
state legislature. San, Diego can better
afford to wait a year for her normal
school than that there should be even
the suspicion of a job connected with its
establishment.

THE REASON WHY

The San Francisco Call, with an 81
am holier than thou air, is doing it's
little best to create a false impression
in the minds of the people concerning
the merits of the Los Angeles water
controversy. While it says everything
and false, it poses especially as the
representative and champion of men
and interests which it asserts had to
go 500 miles away from home to obtain
a hearing The assertion is false, but
that is not germane to the question in
hand. The Bakersfield Californian says:
The Call is making a vigorous fight
against the Los Angeles water monop-
oily. This may be very well. but why
does the Call so so far from home?
There is a company known as Spring
Valley in San Francisco that is accred-
lied with doing things it should not.
The Call might find a good field for
labor there without going to Los An
seles.
The Call is not making any fight upon
the water company at home 1t is fair
to presume that it does not know that
there is water company in San Fran
cisco which has made itself obnoxious
in politics. Thou hypocrite, first cast
the beam out of thine own eye, and
then shalt thou see clearly to cast the
mote out Of thy brothers eye"
Perhaps the Californian does not un
derstand just why the Call goes 500 miles
to attack and vilify the newspapers in

THE HERALD'S LIBEL SUIT
Will Regret the Suit

Harry Patton has sued the Los Angeles
Herald for $4,000 damages because of a
recent editorial in that journal concerning
the rather obnoxious boss conduct during
the last year or two.
We are not surprised at this move, for
truly The Herald roasted him right royalty.
There was left but one of two courses for
Patton to pursue after The Herald's first
blow-he must absolutely surrender all
claims to political preferment and retire
to oblivion, or he must go to court even
though he follow a losing suit. He has
chosen the latter, and we miss our guess
and underestimate the man IL he does not
live very soon to regret his choice.
We have long considered Patton a man
to be avoided and we are pretty we'll ac-
quainted with his career. If he ever per-
mts that suit to come to trial he will be
shown up as few men have ever been in
this state. and the sooner the better.
He claims the promise of an appointment
from Governor Budd for a position for
which he is wholly unfit, about which he
knows nothing. Whether his claim is well
founded or not we do not know. but hope
for the respect we hold for our chief ex-
ecutive that 1t is a myth
He will find in The Herald a champion
worthy of his steel. and Southern Califor-
mia will furnish the whole proceedings with
very large and interested audience

his city that have had the courage and

this city that have had the courage and
the decency to maintain the right. 1t
| is all on account of the Allied villainies,
whose organ Is the Call. The Call is
waging war upon the respectable Demo-
Gratis of Los Angeles because the lat
ter, through their county central COM
mittee. roundly condemned the corrupt,
boodle-hunting Push who are seeking to
gain control of the Democratic party's
affairs in this state. But. you say, the
Call is a Republican paper. Very true
And there is also a Republican Pull
of the same stripe as the Democratic
Push. When the corruption in the Los
Angeles board of education was exposed
and war was declared upon it by the
League for Better City Government,
supported by the leading daily newspa-
pers of the city, it was found that a
cheap Republican boss was the arch
conspirator, and the dictator of all that
was bad in the board.
Then came the logical outcome. Both
the Democratic Push and the Republi-
can Pull were threatened. What was
more natural than that they should join
forces? The Allied Villainies Qimited)
was the quick result.
The Call, as the organ of the Allied
Villainies, began campaign against
the respectable elements in business and
politics in Los Angeles, and it responded
quickly. The first thing undertaken
was the defense of Webb. the arch con-
spirator of the Solid Six; the next was a
deliberate Misrepresentation
of the facts connected with the water
controversy and studied abuse for all
persons and all newspapers who were
not under the domination of the Allied
Nillainies.
This, our esteemed contemporary, the
Bakersfield Californian, is assured is
the reason why the San Francisco Call
has gone 500 miles away to discuss the
water question instead of taking it up
at home.
The herald., 1898-01-27
OUTSIDE ITS JURISDICTION

An exchange says this paper recently
made the announcements: "No more
births on Alaska steamers" If this is
true the fact must be ascribed to a
mere inadvertence. The Call is not
going into any phase of the Schenk
business and does not propose to at
tempt the regulation of matters out
side its jurisdiction San Francisco
Call.
Mere inadvertence" is entirely too
modest an apology for such stupendous
vagaries as Mr.. Spreckels' organ has
been indulging in lately. The Call
would be far more proftably and pru-
IDENTIFY engaged in the "Schenk busi-
ness" than in the daily publication of
columns on the Los Angeles water uues-
tion, which are conceived in treachery

Senator White Honored

We are not particularly interested In
whom the Democrats select as chairman OF
their congressional or national commit
tees but when an honor is bestowed upon
Californian we are bound to notice 1t.
The Democratic members of congress have
selected Hon. Stephen NJ White. senator
from this state, as chairman of their con-
gressional committee. This place was
sought after by many prominent members
of the party all over the Union. but on ac-
count of his ability no less than for his
firm adherence to the Chicago platform,
and especially to the silver plank of that
platform Mr.. White was chosen to fill this
responsible place.
Though differing widely with Senator
White politically, we are not so hide-bound
as to be unable TO recognize in our SEN
ator many sterling qualities, and of his
ability there has never been any question.

It Is Too Much

Editor Harry Patton wants the Los An
geles Herald to pay him 1000 for alleged
libel. Harry knows The Herald cannot
afford to pay such n bill as that. Now, IL
he had asked for champagne supper and
box of cigars his request might have been
granted. If The Herald's statements had
cost the young editor leg. an eye or
cheek, $4,000 would not have have repaired
the damages; but for mere playful re-
mark about Harry's political doings 1t Is
too much to pay. And the fact of a South
ern California editors suing brother edi-
tor for libel. with four lawyers to present
his case. is a rare journalistic novelty
which ought to be appreciated by a jury.

MUST WAIT A LITTLE LON GER

A part of the business prearranged for
the regular meeting of the board of edu-
cation last evening was the election of a
superintendent of buildings to succeed
Axtell, and to choose a secretary. But
this important action was not taken. DR..
Mathis was not in attendance. for the
reason that he had been called out of
town on professional business, and Mr..
McInerny expressed a desire for full
attendance before proceeding to the
elections. On vote to proceed, the
ayes were: Davis, Conrey, Braly and
Kubach; nays. Webb. Bartlett, Poor and
McInerny. 1t is not a pleasant symp-
tom to see Mr.. McInerny voting with
the remnant of the solid six thus early
in the reformation, but perhaps his mo-
tives for postponement We're all right.
Mr.. McInerny and DR.. Mathis may as
well understand that the eyes of the
public are upon them. and they will be
expected to justify the change of heart
which they lately professed. The re-
organization of the board will not be
complete until better men are elected to
succeed both AXtell and Johnson.
