Two ... Needed Things
Al ■ result of our somewhat close
and interested survey of Lob An
geles municipal matters, we have
aatiafled ourseeVes that two things
are vary much needed here. The
tint Is the funding of the city debt.
Ala matter of fact, people don't
lika to live in a place where tbe
taxea even teem to be oppressively
high. By come providential dis
pensation, the debt of tbe city of
Los Angeles la not high when we
consider the fact that her water
system should be, aud cau be made
to be, the means of a very consid
erable municipal revenue. But.
owing to tbe slipshod methods of
our municipal finances, several
considerable items of our city debt
fall due at one time, in lump sums.
Tbe levlss needed to pay these ma
turing debts have a very ugly look
to a stranger. They swell the rate
of tax Imposition out of all propor
tion to what it would be in a city
wboee finances were adjusted on
the modern plan. In fact, the large
levy of the current year has a bad
effect on the city's credit. Nine
men out of ten do not stop to find
out that this large rate of taxation
simply arises from a makeshift
system of finance, and their opin
ions are governed by their imper
feot information. If the city debt
of Los Angeles were funded at a
moderate rate of interest our taxes
would be low, and this misconcep
tion would be avoided—a double
blessing.
Next to the fundiug of the city
debt, we need a system of account
ability and exactness in the man
agement of the city accounts.
Mayor Beaudry, iv one of
his messages to the Council,
recommended the creation uf
tbe office of City Auditor.
We need such an official, or, at
least, we need a city book-keeper.
No ordinary grocer could prosper
In business if his affairs were con
ducted in the same way as those of
the city of Los Angeles. No man
to-day can find, under its proper
head, the expenditures for Ihe year
of any department cf tbe city gov
ernment. If he wishes to ascer
tain how much has been expended
In the street or police departments
for the current, or, iudeed, any
year, he has no recourse for it but
to search wearily through the stubs
of the Warrant Book, aud he is
very lucky if the stubs are there
to be searched. Few men have
the nerve to undertake labors of
this kind. It is tlie price, however,
of ihe slightest intelligible under
standing of how the city stands
If we cannot have an auditor, II
might, at least, be worth our
while to pay the City Clerk a trifle
for opening a ledger ascount with
the different departments of the
city government. Then, by the
aid of an index, auy person inter
ested in the status of our munici
pal affairs could inform himself as
to our exact condition. The May
or, In preparing his messages,
Would have easily accessible and
exact data lo incorporate into
those documents.
We merely throw out these sug
gestions. We do i.ot know bow
our sapient Common Council will
receive them. By funding the city
debt we should again rejoice in a
small annual tax levy. Possibly
our suggesiion of a City Book
keeper will be opposed on the
ground of economy. If so, it will
be a flue illustration of "penny
wise aud pound foolish." Let
us be extravagant, if we will;
but, by all means, let ua know
bow we stand. A city is in a lam
entable state when an inquirer can
ask one who ought to know bow
such and such a department stands,
JUilit-tltL S'UUKried, iv good faith,
that the official don't know. Vet
that is precisely Low matters mu
nicipal are now.
A Slugural Posversien.
The Los Angeles papers, except
the Hkrald, which is friendly to
tbe S. P. R. blame the Los An
geles delegation in the Legislature,
for voting for Parley, aud intimate
that arguments stronger than pure
love aud affection for tho monop
oly may have been used by Stan
ford, Crocker, Colton & Vu.—Ari
zona Miner, Dec. VBth.
We confess that it Is a source of
profound surprise to us that some
of our contemporaries who do not
mean to be discourteous,should in
dulge in such remarks as the above.
The Hmsaj.d is emphatically the
friend of the masses. We have the
genuine Democratic distaste for
overshadow!!!" rornorstioas. Nei
ther-" ''or the
limply escape the imputation of
being friendly to them. Now we
are friendly to railways—to all
properly managed railways, to the
Central aud Southern Pacific rail
ways amoug-d the rest, and to
them (imply as we are to the rest,
i. c., when they deserve our friend
ship. We should never have made
them the power they undoubtedly
are; but, finding them here, we
would rather have them friendly
to this section than hostile. We
are not iv favor of the Texas
Pacific Railway because we have
always said, aud we repeat it now,
that "we don't believe it ever has
had, or ha* now, an earthly chance
of obtaining the guarantee sought
uy Scott. We don't propose to re
alize the fatuity of the .Spanish
proverb, by drinking in Ihe winds,
especially when we can go In
doors. We require something
more substantial as a basis for our
action than a pursuit of things at
preseut unattainable. As wo be-
Tieve tbe Southern Pacific Railway
will build tho Texas Pacific to Ihe
New Mexico line, and perhaps lo
the Rio Grande, WO discover in
that fact another reason for being
friendly to that corporation, if it
behaves itself and recognizes the
part that justice and fair play
should have In the actions of men
who may even believe themselves
all-powerful, but who may, in
time, become as fragile as a reed.
We have nn emphatic conviction
that if the railways shall abuse
their vow unquestioned power,
their weakness will one day be as
great as their influence is to-day.
But we believe in giving corpora
tions, as wo believe in giving
every one, a chance. Ifthero is a
probability of their doing right,
don't prevent it by a premature,
ill-advised md pronounced hoslil-
As to Farley, we have satisfied
ourselves that he will make, ex
cepting Judge Sepulveda. who wbs
our candidate, aud whoso claims
we advocated enthusiastically, a
better Senator than any or the
candidates named, and by better
we mean more useful. Again
excepting Judge Sepulveda,
we do not believe that a
siugie one of his opponents
had either greater party claims or
moro ability than Farley. Just
such men as Farley are elected
Senators in every State In the
Union, nine times out of ten, by
both the great political parlies. He
is a man like Sargent, of Califor
nia, and Anthony, of Rhode
Island, without their apparent and
Indefensible bad character for In
tegrity. We believe in giving the
new Senator a fair trial. As to our
own representatives, they will
stand or fall by the good or bail in
tentions they exhibit when the
fares and freights legislation is
brought on the carpet.
As to fights ngainot the railway
company, or against any other in
stitution or individuals, for that
matter, wo believe in making
them where and when one can hope
to win, and not when and where
defeat is inevitable, and where the
conflict, ill-advised and illy con
ducted, only reacts against its
promoters.
Yesterday was set apart for the
introduction into the Legislature
of the railway bill of tlio Transpor
tation Commissioners of the State
of California. We hope that the
measure will be found satisfactory
in tenor, aud that it will pass. The
people demand a just and conscien
tious treatment of the freights and
fares problem—one which shall
protect the people aud not wrong
tbe railway companies. We have
an abiding faith that, when tlie
struggle comes on this issue, our
own representatives will be found
earnest, active and effectual on the
side of the masses. The Demo
cratic party cannot afford to cuter
the next campaign handicapped
by a shirking of this solemn duty.

London, Jan. 3d.—A special
from Vienna points out that by
permitting Russia lo negotiate
separately, tbe Powers recognize
tbe privileged position she has so
long claimed In the settlement of
the Eastern question und to cancel
which was one of the main objects,
if not the chief one, of the treaty ol
Paris, by allowing Russia to talte
upou herself the enforcement of
certain things upon Turkey, The
Powers, indeed, have already
taken a great stop iv this direction,
but so long us Europe upheld the
principle that no negotiations
could be carried on between tho
belligerents themselves, this priv
ileged position assumed by Russia
would cease the moment negotia
tious began. If, ou the
contrary, the principle of
separate negotiation is ad
mitted, an exceptional position Is
thereby sanctioned aud it becomes
only a question of bow far this ex
ceptional position is to extend.
The firm ground is abaudoned and,
in spite of all reservations, the
powers have given up their right of
participating in the settlement of
the question. The disinclination
shown by the British Government
to encourage separate negotiations
Is an indication that it was aware
of the Importance of the principle
at stake. Still the principle, which
is au European one, could only ac
quire validity by the joint will of
all or most of the powers, and it
has been abaudoned by all except
England. There remains but ouo
alternative fur England, either to
dispute single-handed the claim of
Russia or follow the example of
the other powers and make reser
vations on paper to lieu re guaran
tees.
Wo hear from St. Petersburg
that the intercourse between Prince
Gortschakoh", Russian Foreign
Secretary, aud Loril Loftii9, British
Ambassador, ou this matter, has
been of the most friendly character,
aud the te egraphic reply sent from
tit. Petersburg was drawn up
jointly by them, as if for all. The
reports that tho Porte has already
come to the conclusion of accept
ing an t itrmistice, seem to be prema
ture, as it is not likely that, any
thing decisive will be done until
Russia's reply bus been officially
communicated to England.
The Times, 111 a leading editorial
article, trays: Once more, in the
midst of disquieting rumors, we
have I lie sal ll'aOtlOU to report the
reassuring statement made by one
of the ministers, which, at the
present moment, ought to be re
garded as finally deciding the
position assumed by this country.
We may Interpret his words as
meaning at least as much as they
say, and as an unmistakable ex
pression of the present vie*' of the
ministry. What, then, is tho up
shot of the Earl of Car
narvon's speech ? It is an
emphatic, a peculiarly plain,
notice of a lenient policy.
It has been made not at all too
soon, but it ought lo terminate the
alarm by which tlie public have
recently been disturbed. For this
purpose it should be only necessary
to add a single consideration to the
Earl of Carnarvon's statement. If
this is the deliberate judgment of
members of the Cabinet, it is ill
conceivable that any less decisive
opinion can be entertained by the
nation as a whole. If there he any
disposition anywhere to enter this
war, if insanity of such kind any
where prevails, it is to be found,
beyond question, in the conserva
tive rather tliun in the liberal
ranks aud if the Earl of Carnarvon
cannot conceive of a repetition of
the policy of the Crimean war by
his own party, is it for a moment
to be supposed that the other half
of the nation would entertain it?
It should be clearly understood
that the ino9t earnest aud ener
getic section of tho community is
prepared decisively and without
wavering to support the principles
laid down by the Earl of Carnar
von. Let it be understood once foi
All that the most responsible lead
ers in both parties deem the policy
of the Crimean war so obsolete i
that it would be insanity to revive j
it, so there will bo an end of the
