RIVER AND HARBoR IMPROVEMENTS

y OMMENTING upon the difficulty in obtaining
| from Congress adequate appropriations for the
Improvement OF the greater harbors and rivers
OF the country while millions of dollars are wasted
upon works of comparatively little value, the New
York Times says: Senator Edmunds once exposed
the rottenness of the procedure with river and har-
Dor appropriation bills by procuring the insertion of
an item for the deepening and widening OF the chan
mel Of the Ompompanoosuc River in Vermont After
the Senate had solennly approved the proposed ex-
penditure he explained that the stream was navigabe
only for Sinners"
The story is interesting but the Times has not
drawn from it the true moral. That Senator Ed
munds succeeded in getting the Senate to vote an
appropriation for a stream of insignificant proper
tons is not evidence OF rottenness in the proceed
OF Congress in making such appropriations but
Of the influence of strong and experienced man
over the body in which he serves. The Senators
voted for the Improvement of 0mpompanoosuc
River out of Difference to Senator Edmunds. They
would not have been so compliant to the request or
even the arguments OF conner in Congress.
The lesson to be drawn from the incident is that
every State should send strong to represent it
in Congress and maintain them there for long term
OF years The rivers and harbors of California would
not have been left all these years unmproved if the
people of this State had been as wise as those of
some OF the older States in that respect
The people of California have been too changeablc
in politics. Very rarely have they kept delegate in
Congress long enough to acquire prestige and power
in either house. To them may be applied the warn
ing spoken of Reuben, Unstable as water thou
shalt not excell.' That the great waterways of the
State remain almost unnavgabe is mainly due to the
fact that the of the State prefer to change
Congressman every two years. That is the moral for
us to draw from the story of the appropriation for
the Ompompanoosuc, a Vermont stream navigable
only for sinners

THE LOS ANGELES WaTER FIGHT

| Y refusing to comply with the demand of the
T City Council for inventory of the amount
OF property it received from the city at the
commencement OF the lease OF water privileges thirty
years ago the Los Angeles Water Company has
clearly disclosed an intention make fight for
tnued possession of the property by tactics of delay
as The Call predicted when first it directed public
attention to the subject and pointed the wrong
that threatened Los Angeles and her people
he company not only refused to file the inventory
demanded, but in its contempuous disregard for pub
nc rights let the subject pass without even assigning
reason for declining to comply with the demand Of
the Council. Having possession OF the water prop
ery OF the city the company evidently intends to hold
1t after the expiration of the lease and to that end
Will resort to every means corporate greed can de-
wise and cunning execute.
NO injustice was done to any right or interest of
the company by the demand of the Council Two
weeks were allowed the corporation to make up the
inventory, and that was ample for the work 1t could
have been accomplished by willing parties in half the
time. The refusal to comply can therefore mean
nothing else than determination to delay and post
pone every step in the way of recovery of the prop
ery by the city until the lease has expired and then
take legal proceedings to hold it still further on the
ground that the city has not complied with the re-
OF the property.
This is one of the boldest and most fragrant Of
lenses against public rights ever committed in Cali
forna 1t would be disgrace to the manhood of the
people OF Los Angeles it were permitted to succeed
There is in this issue question of what are fair
water rates. 1t is a plain case OF trying to retain
tor private corporation property that belongs to the
city. IL consummated it would be steal even if
carried out under legal FORMS and nothing could be
pleaded in justification of the grab for the city has
shown desire to perform all of its obligations under
the lease, and has been prevented up to this time
only by the Vaccinations and trickery of the COM
pany itself
There seems to be but one way to defeat the con-
spiracy The officials of the city should make an
offer to arrange for the arbitration the lease calls for
II that perssteny refused the city, when the lease
expires, should take possession OF its property and
leave the water company in the plight of too smart
schemer who has been beaten at his own game.

OAKLAND AROUSED.

n AKLAND is aroused. Her people have MOI
II J accepted the wrong done them by the
schemers OF the water company with tame
submission. The job put through by majority Of
the Council without debate, without warning in q
single night, with the swness of assured nsolence
will not be swiftly enforced 1t will be opposed by an
indignant people with every resource at their com.
mand, and it will go hard with honesty under our
laws If the grab of greed prove successful and the
perpetrators escape unwhipped of Justice.
The raise in water rates by the resolution so sud-
denly sprung, while bad in itself was made worse by
the methods used in accomplishing it and the cir
cumstances under which it was carried out Never
have the punderers of municipalities acted with a
more shameless impudence than in this case They
made no pretense of giving consideration study to
the issue before them. The resolution was sprung
abruptly upon the Council, was referred to COM
mittee, which reported back in about FIVE minutes
and was straightway adopted without an attempt to
reply to the indignant protests of the minority.
1t is by such offenses these that popular ndig-
nation has been reused against corporations in this
country 1t is by these practices that class hatreds
have been excited among the people. AS Benjamin
Harrison said in his address on "The Obligations of
Wealth. on Washington's birthday, "If there is not
vrility enough left in laws and in the admins
tratlon OF justice in courts to bring to punish
ment those who defraud the State and their neigh
bors; if crimes of fraud may stalk unrebuked and
unpublished in our streets; how long will it be until
crimes of violence make insecure the fortunes that
have refused to contribute rataby to the cost Of
maintaining social order7'
The ex-President speaking of the practice Of
rich men OF evadng taxes, but the words apply with
equal force to corporations that seek enrich them
selves unjusty at the public expense The question:
he asked, let be borne in mind did not come from
demagogue professional agtator 1t came from
one OF the most eminent statesmen Of the republic
an honored leader of the great conservative party in
these times OF agitation and social disturbance It is
question that cannot be put aside with indifference
or treated with disdan.
By every aspect of the thing itself and by every
evidence OF the attending circumstances, it appears
that gross fraud and wrong has been committed
against the welfare and the property of the people of
Oakland If the fraud proves successful and goes
unpunished new means will be furnished to dema-
gogues to raise popular antagonism to corporate
ownership OF public utilities and the time may come
when the corporations may cry in vain for the fair
treatment they now refuse the public Oakland has
grave issue before her people and it is to be hoped
the Indignation now aroused will not fail to find
means to settle it with justice for her citizens and
punishment for the wrongdoers

to the national defense But not be forgotten
that these same business will be the most violent
critics OF the Government if trouble and Our
coasts are found to be defenseess
There is no desire to urge the Government into
useless war. to nag the administration into martial
response to popular excitement but there is sense
and safety in the method by which popular feeling
may be used to compel the country make defensive
preparations, SO that if war come now or ever our
vital points will be ready for it.
1t is not wise to be too optimistic to betoo that
we are safe from war, that nobody wants to attack
us, that we are too big contract for anybody on
land and sea. In less than century and quarter
we have had three foreign wars and fourth was in
declaration and narrowly averted and one civil war
OF stupendous proportions When we reflect that
this is actual warlke conflict for each thirty years
since the Declaration of independence, no man can
say that another may not be impending Therefore
it is well to discriminate between that journalism
whose object is cautonary and that which is merely
idle and sensational. We may be far from war with
Spain, but the more complete our preparation,
though the influence which induces it may be public
excitement, the less likely are we to have war with

MUSIC AND MUSICIANS.

In the multitude of councillors there is
wisdom, and Albert Care, the new direc-
tor of the Paris Opera Comique, is step
ping INTO his new shoes surrounded by
CHUNKS of wisdom from all the leading
musicians of France When he received
ms appointment one of the leading
french newspapers started a symposium
TOT musicians to say what Care ought to

Inc musicians responded with alacrity
with JOY, in fact, for they all seemed to
feel that they could run Frances light
opera theater better than the new direc-
tor Some of their opinions clashed, some
OF them were more theoretical than prac-
tlcal and some of them We're very val
