His Son.

Judge Carter, Of the Superior Court, yes
terday passed on the habeas corpus pro.
ceedings brought by Albert Soult against
the German General Protestant Orphans

years. Soult brought suit the ground
that the boys grandparents placed him in
the home without the plaintiffs permission.
In his petition asking for possession CT the
boy Soult asserted that he was in position
to take care of him. Judge Carter heard
part Of the evidence a week ago, and adj
jouTned the case with the announcement
that he wanted to know something of the
fathers past life before giving a decision.
Yesterday was the day named for Soult to
convince the court that he ought to have
the boy. When the case was called SouIt
did not appear. and his attorney stated that
If his clients past life was to be investi-
gated the proceedings need go no further.
Judge Carter then heard evidence as to
how the boy came into the possession OF
the home
Soult and the boys mother were divorced
before the birth of the child, but were mar
ried again and lived together until her deathy
1t was shown that Soult's present wife has
been married before She procured a d.
Vorce from her former husband and the day
after the decree was granted she was mar
rted to Soult. There was evidence to the
effect that she and Soult were acquainted

Soult fell i'll and was taken TO one of the
hospitals. The woman went there and at
tended him for several days during his ILL
ness. 1t was proved that Soult gave the
grandparents Of his child written permission
to send the boy to the orphan asylum. He

home one night with a letter which had
been written by the stepmother. 1t stated

OUR NEW YEARS EDITION

There is doubtless more inquiry about
Southern California at present than at
any previous time in its history. People
seem to be actually hungry for informa-
ton, and it seems almost impossible to
fully supply the demand.
Some people want to know about olive
growing; others about oranges and lemons;
still others desire information regarding
the mines, or about the various cities. The
climate, the soil and the people of South
ern California and ali that concerns them
are alike of interest all over the union,
and facts and figures, presented in con-
else and ineligible form, are wanted.
1t is seldom that diversified information
of this ehei acter Is obtail.sble in one publi-
cation. 1t is proper, therefore, to call at
tention to the forthcoming New Years
edition Of The Herald, which will appear
next Sunday. A partial table of contents
Of this edition appears elsewhere In this
issue. An admirable feature of the publi-
cation is that it will be wrapped ready for
mailing, so that it may be dispatched with
the least possible trouble and loss of time.
Those who have friends in the east desir-
GUS of learning the facts about Southern
California can do no better than to send
them a copy of the New Year Herald. 1t
will fill the bill exactly.

yearly expenditures Of the national gov
ernment should be stopped. The estimate
Of expenditures for the fiscal year
1899. as made by Secretary Gage, is
$41 .00o. 900 more than the expenditures for
the fiscal year 1898. From what sources
President Mckinley expects to obtain
revenue with which to pay the estimated
expenditures of 1899. amounting to s4e3.-
900, 900, is not clear. The receipts from
all sources for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1897, were $431, ,000, ,000 The Ding
ley tariff act, notwithstanding its high
rate of duties, does not produce any
more, IL as much, revenue as did the
Wilson act. The deficit last year was
s1S,000,0o0. If we assume the same, or
possibly a larger, deficit for this year
and add to 1t the estimated increase of
expenditures of $41, 900. 900, we may well
wonder how the present administration
will solve the dilemma, except by issu-
ing and selling more bonds.
Is this public economy? Will the new
year bring forth the sale of more bonds
to pay the running expenses of the gov
ernment?

PROGRESS OF THE PICTORIAL

The last stronghold of the enemy has
capitulated, and on this gladstone New
Years day, in the afternoon, the New
York Evening Post will appear with a
colored supplement, and should forever
after hold its peace touching yellow
journalism. For ninety seven years has
it resisted all the inroads of pictorial
establishment, colored supplements and
cross-column displays, standing almost
if not quite alone as stately exponent
of primitive topographic art. We do not
regard it's departure as necessarily 4
downfall, although it comes in the ma
ture of positive shock. There is whole
some middle ground between it's Puritan
conservatism and the spotted journal
ism of Mr.. Hearst's paper, and we be-
lieve the Post will endeavor to establish
tremes. At all events, we shall not soon
expect to see Larry Godkin's sacred pre-
serves invaded by Pears soap ads, in
red, yellow, green or blue, or the column
rules that for so many years enclosed the
faultless models of English diction Of
William Cullen Bryant cut in twain to
accommodate grotesque announcements
of the finding of headless body in the
Bronx. To be read the paper must be
up to date, and we fancy today's Post
will lose nothing of it's proverbial excel
lence by reason of the folding into it's
sheets colored map of Greater New
York. Nor will it's cash box suffer.

LET us HAVE STREET SIGNS

Some time ago the city council and the
board of public works took preliminary
steps to provide the unnamed, misnamed
and double and triple named streets of
the city with their proper signs. Last
February the names of over 300 streets
were changed. In the case of other
streets the signs had been either de-
faced of torn off, and the net result is
confusion worse confounded.
The city went to considerable ex-
pense to ascertain what streets needed
signs, and to the board of public works
was referred the matter of securing bids
and making arrangements for the work
The board made some progress, but the
signs are not forthcoming. The Herald
is in receipt of'a vigorous complaint re-
garding the present status of the matter.
1t is alleged that one short street is
adorned with signs bearing three differ
ent names, that many have no signs at
all and others are wrongfully labeled.
Something ought to be done. There
are thousands of strangers in the city,
and even the oldest resident would get
confused with the existing hodge-podge
of nomenclature. Los Angeles is no long
er a crossroads village. Our streets
must be properly named and labeled so
that even he who rides on the swift cleo
trio car may read.

THE TOURNAMENT OF ROSES

Pasadenas annual tournament of
roses will be held today, and the enter
prise, enthusiasm and hard work of the
citizens of that city should be accorded
generous recognition by the people Of
Los Angeles. 1t is promised that today's
celebration will exceed any previous en-
tertainment of the kind ever given in
our sister city. This is a guaranty that
all who attend will be more than repaid
for their time and trouble. Los Angeles
will be officially represented, of course,
but there should be very large general
attendance from among the people of
this city. The Pasadena representation
at the Fiestas has always been an in
spring and satisfactory feature of our
annual festival, which courtesy and
compliment should be repaid with inter-
est Good weather Is promised for to-
day, nature has been kind in providing
flowers in profusion, the arrangements
leave nothing to be desired, and there is
no reason why Pasadena should not be
the center of a royal good time for the
next twelve or eighteen hours. Success

Or do these anti Hanna Republicans
see danger ahead for Hannaism in poll
tics? Has the past year taught them
that the people will not tolerate, and
that a party cannot survive. Hannaism,
and that the only way of saving their
party is by retiring Marcus to private
life?
The people will watch with interest
the result of this contest. If Marcus A.
Hanna shall be returned to the senate
let us hope that it will not be through
the errors, but in spite of the determined
opposition, of the Democratic members
of the Ohio legislature. The Demo-
cratic party of Ohio and Of the nation
cannot survive the responsibility of
sending, or permitting to be sent, to the

known qualification for that honorable
office is his cleverness in manipulating
conventions and securing by any means

IMPERIAL CAESAR

The legislature of Ohio will meet next
week. It's first business will be the
election of a United States senator to
succeed Senator Hanna. The only con-
testing candidates prominently men
toned thus far are Senator Hanna and
John r. Mclean. The legislature is Re-
publican by a bare majority, and, ac-
cording to all precedents, this should
ensure the election of Senator Hanna
But there seems to be something misty
in the political atmosphere Of Column
bus, Ohio, just now.
The dispatches state that the anti
under the leadership Of Charles Kurtz.
will vote for Mclean for senator. This
news should not be surprising to anyone
who has watched the politics of Ohio
and the political career of Marcus A.
Hanna came into prominence solely
through his ability to manipulate men
and conventions and to collect large
sums of money with which to secure, If
NOT TO Duy, ny Whatever means, the
election of a president If he has any
other of the qualifications for the office
of senator they have not been discov-
cred.
AS the self-constituted champion of
Mr.. Mckinley, Senator Hanna seized the
opportunity of riding into public notice
upon the popularity of the former as a
presidential candidate. He usurped the
places of those who have been the
leaders of the Republican party of Ohio
and of the nation for the last quarter
of a century by assuming complete con-
| troll of the whole campaign and Sc
curely fencing Mr.. Mckinley in his own
door yard, to the chagrin of some and
to the amusement of others.
Such exhibition of political sagacity
| is rare, and if this is a sufficient and
proper qualification for senator, the Re-
publican warehouses Of Ohio should

in that high Office.

that Bulletin

To the Editor OF the Los Angeles Herald:
A bulletin on fruit culture, Of recent issue,
from the division of pomology. United
States department OF agriculture. which
has been given wide publicity, contains
ing to the horticultural industry of our
state. These biunders were recently point
ed out to the secretary Of agriculture by
Senator Stephen NJ. White.
To illustrate the absolute imbecility Of
the document. 1t states, for instance, that
no oranges are raised in this state: makes
no mention of the production of grapes
south of latitude SO. that territory en-
bracing the Fresno region and other large
grape growing sections. Figs are not
mentioned as a California product, nor
Japanese persimmons. No mention Is
made of raisins. nor Is the state credited
with the ability to produce walnuts. and
very little notice Is made OF many varieties
of apples and peaches. While the bulletin
contains no negations that California does
not raise fruit accredited to other states,
1t having been given official endorsement
and sent broadcast over the world pur-
porting to state the special localities de-
voted to the raising of the particular fruits
enumerated, no other Interpretation can
be placed upon the document than that
California Is not adapted to the production
of the fruits named.
In order to correct the false impressions
that may arise from the inaccuracy of the
aforesaid bulletin, the following statistics
of the acreage in fruit and fruit shipments
