A NEW WATERWAY ESSENTIAL

The long Journey of the battleship Ore
gon accentuates, as has no other single
incident in late years, the Importance to
the United States of the proposed Nicara-
guam canal. She left her moorings on
this coast more than a month ago, and
her safety has been more or less imper-
lied ever since she passed the southern
boundary line of the country. She may
be able to Join one or the other of the
Federal squadron in the Atlantic, un-
harmed, and In time to render effective
service in the naval engagements yet to
be fought. But this has been quite prob
lematical for some time, and it has also
been questioned whether, ere she reaches
Havana harbor or Hampton Roads, her
services might not be more essential in
the protection Of the long and almost
wholly defenseless coast line on this side
Of the continent. With an adequate
waterway across the isthmus controlled
by the United States, the Oregon and
other vessels of the American navy could
be frequently and quickly shifted from
one seaboard to the other, as occasion
might require. and the same measure of
protection be afforded the one as the
other.
The war has already opened the eyes OF
the nation to many essential require
ments, none Of more apparent urgency
than this. Congress and the administra-
ton already recognize it, and whereas
the caral cannot be built in time to avail
US in this emergency. the lesson will not
have been lost upon the country.
Only yesterday another bill was intro
duced in the senate, by Morgan Of Ala
bama, providing for Federal aid to the
undertaking, the principal new feature
being provision for the employment.
under certain restrictions, of the money
which has been realized from the recent

PATRIOTISM OF PENSIONERS

A member of the Pacific branch of the
Soldiers, in a communication to a con-
temporary, suggests that the pensioners
OF the United States contribute months
allowance toward fund for the building
OF battleship. OF this class, and the
correspondent is one, there are nearly
million in the country today, and the pay
ments to them last year were, in round
numbers, one hundred and forty millions
of dollars. One twelfth Of this sum
would aggregate twelve millions of dol
lars, a sum sufficient to build and equip
three or four of the finest battleships or
cruisers afioat. Even fifty-second part
of the annual disbursement for pensions
would build very respectable craft
one capable of doing infinite damage to
an enemys f1eet-and the assumption is
perhaps warranted that the Federal pen
sioners, dependent as most of them are
upon the quarterly government allow
ance, could yet give up to patriotic pur-
pose this fraction Of their allowance,
without severe hardship. We feel certain
that no class of men would contribute
with greater cheerfulness. Their present
condition is a complete answer as to their
patriotism in the past. Their present
loyalty and patriotic enthusiasm only need
be put to the test-only need such oppor
tunity for manifesting themselves as that
suggested by the correspondent. The
children Of the land are to have battle
ship-why should not those who are ap-
preaching second childhood have last
opportunity to renew their allegiance and
attest their gratitude for the blessings
we all enjoy?

TO FRUIT SHIPPERS
Meeting This Afternoon to Discuss the
Taxation Of Bananas


The following circular to fruit growers
is self-explanatory
The fruit growers, shippers and handlers
of American grown fruits have always rec
ognized the depressing influence upon the
fruit market generally Of the huge i'm
portations of bananas into the United
States This foreign grown fruit comes
Into the United States ports free of all
duty to the detriment of every department
of the fruit industry of this country. The
pineapple growers of Florida, the peach
growers of the Atlantic coast the grape
and small fruit growers of New York and
New England. the small fruit growers of
the interior states, and the diversified fruit
interests of the Pacific coast, have suf-
fered alike from the rapid inroads Of this
foreign fruit.
The receipts of bananas at the port of
New York alone have averaged 1000 600
punches annually. The ports of Philadel-
phia, Baltimore, Boston, New Orleans,
Galveston. Mobile and San Francisco i'm
port proportionately, making an estimat-
ed total annual importation of about O,0O0.-
900 punches. Bananas are imported free of
duty. The government at this time is pre-
pairing to levy taxes for war purposes.
Why not tax bananas? Everyone interest
ed in the fruit trade is requested to meet in
response to this CALL Saturday, May 7,
1898, at 1:3O p. M, at rooms 219-22O Stimson
building, to discuss this question and pre-
pare for action. The work has already been
taken up by fruit growers and dealers In
eastern states. (Sgned) Nathan w.

A DAY OF DAYS

Yesterday was a day Of days for Los
Angeles. and. indeed, for all Southern
California. The gallant Seventh regi
ment, the pride of the southland, called
by the government to assist in prosecut-
ing the war for humanity and justice, is
now volunteer regiment Of the United
States. prepared and ready to go
wherever duty shall point the way.
1t is doubtful if a greater multitude OF
home people ever before assembled on
the streets Of Los Angeles. In itself, X
was splendid tribute to the soldiers and
for the patriotism of the people as a com
munity and as Americans
There was also lesson in the sights
and scenes of yesterday for the rising
generation, and it was an excellent idea
to dismiss the schools for the occasion,
that the children might be given an OBJ
ject lesson in patriotism. There were
many present, no doubt, who regarded
what they saw as gala occasion; but
they will not forget, and the time will

The departure of the troops also brough.
to many the stern realities of war for the
first time The soldiers may be absent a
few days; they may be gone month or
year. They may not leave their own
state, or they may be sent thousands of
miles across the sea to assist the gallant
Dewey. Wherever duty calls them they
will go. And it is not to the soldiers alone
that the laurel of patriotism should be
extended, but to the mothers and sisters,
wives and sweethearts, who with aching
hearts and amid binding tears have
said "go."
1t Is human nature that these expert
ences should seem altogether dark at
first; but there is also bright side. The
mere fact that man goes to the wars
does not constitute his death warrant. "a
man may fight and no be slain," as Burns
puts it. "Our boys will soon be among
US again. and what reception they will
get! The demonstration of yesterday.

PUBLIC WORKS
Minor Business Attended to by the
Couucilmeu

Little business was transacted by the
board of public works at yesterday s
meeting. The members were in attend
ance upon the farewell to the Seventh
regiment in the morning, and did not get to
work until p. m. The following routine
recommendations were made:
We recommend that the bid of A. M.
Austin to improve Figueroa street be-
tween Sixth and Pico streets at cent per
square foot for grading, S5c per lineal foot
for curb, Sc per square foot for gut
ter, $1.4O per lineal foot for cross
walks, and Sc per square foot for
crosswalks, and Sc per square foot for
macadam, be accepted and the necessary
resolution of award adopted.
Recommend that the bid of J. Helm to
curb and sidewalk Olive street between
First and Second streets at 2S11c per lineaI
foot for curb and S7sc per square foot for
sidewalk, be accepted and the necessary
resolution of award adopted.
Recommend that the petition from the
West Coast Fertilizer works, asking that
certain streets in lott IS of Bryant and
Bowers subdivision of the Highland
View tract be abandoned, be referred to
the city engineer.

to the world the most united people that

the Maier & Zobelein brewery. read a
paper reviewing the history Of the associa-
tion and it's beneficent effects and relating
the growth and progress that had been
achieved since the days Of Watts in the

F. D. Fisher, engineer of the city water
works and lodge deputy was then pre-
sented by ex-President E. P. Carr, en-
gineer Of the high school, with a magnifi-
cent indicators little machine which de-
tects defects in working machinery-in the
name of the lodge.
Councilman Fred Baker, president Of the
Baker iron works. spoke upon the advisa-
bility of employing good licensed engineers
at living wages in preference to procuring
cheap help. He dilated upon the import
ance of the association and concluded with
humorous reference to contract under
taken by him at Maier & Zobeleins, in

days with what 1t has become now.
Other speakers were heard, and the
smoker came to a conclusion, among ex-
pressions of good fellowship and pleasure

IN THE INTEREST OF LABOR

The arbitration bill which has lust

provides machinery for the arbitration

protected by the courts of the land. It
avoids the objections, legal and other
wise, to compulsory arbitration, and sim
ply undertakes to afford means for peace

tors, in all cases where both sides to a
controversy agree to accept and abide by
the conclusions reached. The bill provides

\ GRIEvoUS DISAPPOINTMENT
