PAVING MATERIALS

a very important step was taken to-
ward the settlement of the paving ma
terial dispute when the report of Prof
Sadtler, the Philadelphia expert en-
gagged to analyzc and test the various
kinds of asphalt, was received by the
board of public works yesterday.
1t is fair to presume the tests were
made by competent disinterested au-
thority, and the results will be generally
accepted. The board of public works,
in arranging the tests, gave hearing to
a local company which asserted that its
product was equal to the best asphalt.
The contention does not seem to have
been proved good, but the home indus
try principle was given fair chance.

product of California-Southern Califor-

THEY STILL LIVE

The legal contention that the police
courts of Los Angeles have no standing
or existence in the eye of the law proves
to have been nightmare that was soon
ridden to death. The case was that OF
All Louie VS.. Justice NJ. T. Owens. The
plaintiff held that Justice Owens could
not try him upon a criminal charge OF
misdemeanor because his court does not
exist in law and that therefore he is not
the judge thereof. The contention was
based upon a provision in the law in
voked by the rapid increase in the size
of the city and a change in its classifi-
cation.
Judges Clark, Allen, Shaw and Van
Dyke of the superior court Join in an
opinion written by Judge Shaw which
effectually disposes of the claim set up
by the police court ieonoclasts, and the
integrity and standing of the institution
is maintained. 1t would have been very
unfortunate had the decision been to the
contrary, because it would have affected
hundreds of suits already settled in the
justice courts. causing grave complica
tions and endless confusion.

AN ABSURD CLAIM

A few southern adherents of the gold
standard, not chosen with reference to
their attitude on the money question,
however, claim there is no real and abid-
ing faith in or demand for free silver
coinage in that section, and that what
passes for it now can be dissipatod by
the adoption of the Gage currency bill
or some similar measure, providing for
an increase of banking facilities in the
rural sections, in lieu of the repeal of the
law imposing 10 per cent tax upon state
bank issues, which has been demanded
by certain sections of the south with
something of vigor.
1t is difficult to see how this view can
be sustained by any recent political
events in the states south of the Ohio
river which voted for Mckinley, or even
in those which remained steadfast to
the cause of DEM mtcracy.

is its antithesis-unreaso prejudice

point: Returning from the continent, not

they will not take a polish like the do
mestic article, and 1t is next to impos-
sible to renew them after they have been
worn awhile. It's shoddy, sir; shoddy!"
Then the gentleman smiled, and,

LET US HAVE THE FIESTA

Within a few days the question of
holding a fiesta this year will be finally
decided. There is some opposition to the
Fiesta, the greater part of which comes
from outside the city. The idea may
even prevail with some that the plan
concerned. but this is greatly mis-
taken impression.
The question is shall the Fiesta be
held? The Herald believes that it should
be- The celebration has been success
each year in the face of hard times, una
voidable experimentation and all man
ner of other difficulties and obstacles.
1t has become a feature distinctive of
Los Notwithstanding that people all
over the country look forward to with
pleasure BILE expectations. Why should
it be abandoned just as the conditions
are growing more favorable. and when
the largest attendance in the history OF
the festival is promised?
There are undoubtedly objections To-
holding the Fiesta this year, but they
are not so we'll founded that they can
not be overcome. A repetition of the
scenes that characterized the mask car
nival of the closing day of last years
celebration, for instance, would not be
tolerated. With the light and the eX-
perience that has been gained, it is rea-
sonable to assert that festival can be
held this year that nobody will condemn
and which everybody will praise.

MIsFIT CONDITIONS

The reciprocity provisions of the
wholly abortive to stay the progress of
the commercial war which its adoption
precipitated, and which has thus far op-
Grated only in the one direction of closing
heretofore profitable foreign markets to
the surplus products of this country.
Germany, Austro- Hungary, France,
Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela, Canada
and other countries on either side of the
Atlantic no longer talk of reciprocity,
but of retaliation, and some of them,
notably Germany, have closed their
gates to our commodities without warn
ing, and in some instances in contempt
of solemn treaty obligations.
Hostile orders and regulations Of
foreign nations are met on this side, not
with proposals of conciliation and COM
promise, but with counter threats of re-
taliation, and the erection of still other
barriers to free intercourse and mutually
profitable interchange of business. Sen
ators and congressman indulge in grand
Eloquent denunciation and impo-
tent mutterings of revenge, but
these open no ports and remove no en-
bargoes upon our commerce. The mem
ber from fruit growing sections pro-
poses to retaliate upon Germany by
shutting out its fruits, and the man from
Connecticut says no, we will close the
doors against German cutlery; and thus
DO the official guardians of the protect
ed industries seek to take advantage of
the country's helpless dilemma to rivet
their grasp upon the throats of Amer-
can consumers, instead of patriotically
endeavoring to remove or modify the
cause of all this born hostility to
America.
What Is the alternative? Would we
have free trade? No-not absolutely
free trade. But we would have fair
trade. We would continue to raise rev.
enue for the actual needs of govern
ment economically administered, by the
levy of duties upon imports, adjusted in
the interest Of both consumer and pro-
ducer, and not as now in the sole interest
. of trust combinations of manufacturers,
exasperating to the peoples of the earth
with whom we must continue to ex-
change commodities and oppressive to
both those who must buy as
we'll as those who must sell
Absolute free trade will never OBJ
tain in this country. Fair trade must
be inaugurated or the commercial war
that has been inauguratcd will result in
our utter discontinue and great ma
tional loss.

| Senator Lindsay of that state was re.
Gently requested to resign his seat IN
that body because of his financial views
| and so frightened was he over the
storm of indignation at home that he
was constrained, on Friday last, to cast
his vote for the Teller resolution. This
circumstance more than compensates
for the fact, so far as it indicated a
change of front upon the part of Ken
lucky, that its electoral vote was divid-
ed in the last contest.
Tennessee has chosen a successor to
the late Senator Harris in the person of
Mr.. Turley, staunch silver man, after
contest in which the lines were drawn
upon the money question.
1t is true that Mr.. German was lately
defeated in Maryland, another of the
southern states that broke away from
Democracy in 1885, but there is nothing
in that incident to indicate a greater
leaning toward the gold standard by the
people of that state than before. Cor
man was always a good silver man when
the question was not in issue, and be-
tween roll calls, but his loss will not be
felt. His defeat was inevitable in any
event, but it was doubtless expedited by
the cowardly evasive position into which
he forced his party In the late campaign.
Four cent cotton is not likely to have
a potent influence in alternating any por-
tion of the 153 southern votes from the
Democratic column. That section is, by
all of its traditions, welded to the theo-
ry of a metallic money of redemption
the money of the constitution and of the
Democratic past-and it is idle to assert
that the people of that section are ready
to sacrifice the principle for any sop
which the gold standard protectionists
Of the north may be disposed to throw to
them in the way of cheap country banks
