The action of of the in-ur and trust on this cttnatj in recommend ing that unless tho (Ire alarm system of i thie city is improved the insnrancn rates sliould be raised, calls attention once more to the excoswive. rates already , charged and suggests 'hi desirability oi not sirui, ly preventing au iucicaae, but of securing a reduction. The present pystem of insurance, both as carried on here and elsewhere, is al together Unbusinesslike The compa nies to whom wo pay nimey to insure ns agaiuet Are, do not turn their hands over to prevent 11 res. We caunot blame them for putting all tbe profits in their pockets, for they have never promised to take any measures to prevent lires, and it ie not altogether clear that it would be to their interest to do so. When there are few liras there ie little diep > aitionon the part oi the people toineure, and the insurance companies doubtless consider an oooasional eoutUgration as a goad thing to keep people in tho humor of insuring. It is evident, that for law abiding citiiens at any rate, the most s ttiafac tory system of insurance would be one whose Aim would he to prevent lires, as well as to pay for tuch loss as may occur.

SHOULD THE CITY DO AN INSURANCE BUSINESS? tne general welfare to have the city do a general insurance business? That if properly carried on it could be dove profitably to the city and econom ically to tbe insurer, there is no doubt . Tbe business ia now carriea on profit ably by the private companies, aud if common -opinion is not mistaken the profits are not very email. Then if the city did the business, the beavy com missions that are paid by the companies to their agents would be saved, with the exception of enongh to pay the salaries of two or three men; and, judging from the number of men who make a living as insurance agent?, this caving wonld be considerable. But the great advantage of the city doing an insurance business would be that it could Bpend the profits of the business in increasing the efficiency of its fire department. This would result in a decrease oi losses by fire, a great gain in itself, lor moßt people preier their prop erty to their insurance; and, secondly, iv lower rates of insurance. Rates would be lower because the city would not charge exorbitant prices—would not pay coimaiMiono to an army oi men, and be canse the system itself ia bated on sounder principles. It nseda but a mo ment's consideration to see that a sys tem of insurance that fixes its rates according to the chances of loss that now ex-iet, and then proceeds to reduce those chances, is better than a system which simply counts np the present chances and then takes no preventive measures whatever. The latter system ban in it no element of progress, no germ from which a better state of uOTiire can grow. There are many people who do not believe in the city carrying on business • hat can be done by private parties. They would restrict its funotions to such as are purely political. On the other hand, there is a growing sentiment that city governments, even if not tbe state and national governments, are warrant ed in carrying on certain lines of busi ness that are more or less public in their nature aud that are necessary to the existence oi large oities. If this view is correct; il it is proper for cities to furnish water, gas, street railways, etc., then it would certainly be a profit able thing both for the city and the people for the city to do an insurance huniuoss on the property within its borders. THE NEVADA SOUTHERN AND THE GREAT DEVELOPMENTS AHEAD. Vice-President Scofield of the Nevada Southern reilway passed through Lob Angeles yesterday en route to San Fran ctlOO, stopping over one day at Newhall., lie has been out to the front for ten days ; and, in company with President Blake, S T.

The Needles Be luction company havp contracted for Iha entire ou'put of the Iveyston" mine lor four months, and teaming of ore to Purdy will common c as soon as the road through State Line pasß is finished. From this point tbe party returned to Purdy, via Vanderbilt, well pleased with their trip and the future prospects of the Nevada Southern rail way. Dry Like valley and Mesquite val ley contain over 300,000 acres ol magnifi cent soil, and water can be obtained by diilling. Good water ie obtained in the Mesquite valley from 7 to 10 feet below the eurtace. The Nevada Southern rail way will drill eeyeral wells at different points to show What can be done in thit, line and to encourage settlement. All oi these lauds will be open to entry and settlement, and will support a popula tion of many thousands in the near tuture. Tbe Ilßß.vi.n has been keeping its readers advised cf the progri its which is being made on tbe Nevada Southern (or the reason that we are about to witness there, in our judgment, one ot the moat remarkable mining developments ever recorded on the American continent. For decades upon decades this region hae been known to be fabulously rich in a great variety of metals, including gold aud eilver. It needed only the open tjesaruo oi a railway to bring it into tbe favorable notice of miners and prospect ors. The exploitation of this most prom ising field is of'special interest to the people of Loa Angeles. Here will be bought all the supplies for these numer ous camps. Here will come the illimita ble cnattihutions of rich ores lor tbn smelting works which are abont lo be erected in Los Angeles, and which can not be erected too soon, and which will be expanded month by month, to treat the enormous output of these mines, which c»<utot long, continue to be sent LOS ANOELES HERALD, FRIDAY MORNTNO, MAY 19, ISO.?. nronnd to Pueblo, Colorado, for treat ment. The new mining development is uoon ns, and we may ac well make prep arations to handle it and to reap ita ben efits, which are incalculable. We understand that the present popn latlon of Vanderbilt is six hundred souls. It is increasing at the rate of twenty-five or thirty a day. Of course the aceommodaiions are primitive, and will be so till the railway is completed to that place. The hygienic arrange ments are as yet nnsatisfactory, and all these details will have to be attended to, and will be aggravated for a while by the exceedingly hot weather. But maugre all these discomforts, and the high flights of the mercury, Vanderbilt must he recognized in tbe near future as one of the greatest mining camps in the United States. It will be the center of one of the most prolific mining regions ever known on the American continent, and the Nevada Southern railway, with the Messrs. Blake and Scofield, tbe one its President and the other its Vice- President, will bitve been the means of introducing the new treasure region, with all its vast possibilities, to the no tice of the American people. By thk statement which appears else where iii exttmo in the Hkkai.d it ap- pears that it is necessary to employ, in addition to thesheriff himself, HUy-three deputies to run tha a tie rilfa oflice of Loa Angeles county. Of these twenty-two are sn Is rind and the rest are dependent on fees. The law is as plain as a pike staff. It prescribes exactly what shall be done and what can he lawfully done. District Attorney Dillon recapitulates tho legal status of the case very ably in his opinion given to the board of super visors. He points out the facts that the sherilfis to receive a salary of $4000 and is also to receive $0000 for deputies. That makes $13,000. Thesumof $13,000 cannot by any force of logic or chicane be converted into $30,000. which iB the sum the board of super visors and Sheriff Cline are making the sheriff's office cost Los Angeles county just now. The Citizens' Non partisan association did a good thing when it drew attention to the fact that it costs more than twice as much to run tbe assessor's office of Loa Angeles couuty than it does to ruu that of Ala meda county, although the assessment of Alameda county is a little more than that of Los Angeles county. Of course, if the taxpayers desire tbeae expensive frills, tbey can bave them. They come high, but any thing that is ornamental rather than useful comes high. If three men are hired to doone man's work they must occupy themselves principally in avoiding falling over each other; and, in Los Angeles, both in city and county, it is a great acrobatic feat to avoid this. We mereiy give the taxpayer the iacts. He must do bis own thinking and acting.

Dbab Herald: The decision ol th supreme court in tbe registration case has given great satisfaction to the great mass ol the people hereaway. What th administration will do with respect to the enforcement of the law, now that i baa been declared valid by the highes tribunal in the land, is, however, mat terof serious conjecture. Not one Chi naman in a thousand of tboae who come under ttie disabilities of the ac has obeyed its inundates, and therefore the Chinese almost as a body are liable to arrest aud deportation. Congress however, haa made but small provision to meet so great and unexpected an emergency. Of the amount appropri ated to en'orce the law, there is perhaps enough to deport one thousand of tbesje under its ban. Therefore the ofticeri ought to seize the most obnoxious o them first. The highbinders and known criminals ought to be the first to go. By the time they have been got rid of conl gress will have met, and the Geary act may be so amended as to give the restol the Chinese a chance to register. But there is a general feeling that the headmen ol the Chinese Bix Companies, who adviaed their people to defy, the law by refusing to register, ought to be punished. These men deliberately ter rorized their people, and successfully ob structed the operations of the law by their threats. Every one of these men should be iudicted for the coercive and sontumacious couise they pursued. The Bonstitutionality of the law could bave been tested eveu if the great mass of the Chinese had registered There was no hardship and no.hing degrading im posed upon them. They would have been subjected to no more trouble in ■aking out a certificate of registration ;han Americana have to undergo in r.any European countries. Indeed the passport system ia fraught with annoy tnces and vexations which could not lave been encountered by the Ch nese n taking out, at no expense to them lelves, certificates showing their right if residence in the United rj'ta.es. There a, ol courße, but one explanation of tbe lutagooism the Bix Companies (level led against registration. It would lave effectually put an end to the imuggling of excluded Chinese into the lountry. This lias been a great and irofitable business, and the managers oi be Six Companies have shared in the llicit money gained by the successful md continuous violation of the exclu ion act. if these men cannot be pun ahed it will detract materially from the atisfaction we all ieel ,over a decision hat asserts the power and sovereignty f the government over the residential ighta of aliens. There is much bitter criticism of the ttitnde Justice Field has taken in the natter, fie ia tbe Only member of tbe ourt who is familiar with tbe Chinese [tiostion on this coast. He had already endered'an opinion in a former case in rhich the constitutionality of the act of xclufion was maintained. He now irtually save: "Yes, you have the ight to exclude the Chinese from en ranoe into the country ; but after tbey lave entered you have no right to de ermine whether they are rightfully lere. They may have bepn smuggled nto the country in defiance of the law; hey may have got through the custom louse by forged certificates and false wearing; but once having successfully o'rt coTTecTOWWet,- 01 . Ude-waiters and nee to the north and the south, tbey re inviolable." Registration ol the Ihinese within our lines ia unconstitu ionalj but it is perfectly within our »gal power to keep I hem out. If it is lithlO our cower to seep them out, it is ertaiiily within our power to determine iv just aud humane regulations that hose who are within got tnere of right ,nd legally. The power to exclude nn lotibtedly carries with it tho power to r.ake exclusion possible. Justice ield, in his dissenting opinion, effectu ,lly knocks away all the ground he had 0 "stand upon in his former decision itliiming the right oi the government to iieinde. A riaht is no right at all vlien it ends just where it an be made ptactically operative, ['he law abhors a vain thing; and what sould be vainer than to say, "Yeß, you nay exclude theoretically, but not prac ieally. You may exclude against the •egular and recognized modes of en rances; but not against the illicit and ontraband modes. You can legally keep non from entering your orchard by the sateway; but il they scale your fence hey are lawiully entitled to all the rult they can gather." Justice Field nay often before have delivered opin ons that were open to criticism lor snoneous interpretation of the taw ; but tie has never incurred juatly the charge ji living in the face of common sense. There is a strong undercurrent of feel ing here that President Cleveland has weakened the Democratic party'e chances on this coast lor some time to come by the course he pursued in re tard to this act. It is believed that the Six Companies would not have taken so bold and defiant a stand bad the Presi dent given evidence of a more resolute and determined policy on the subject ol enforcing the law. They do not stop to reason that the president was confronted with a tremendous responn'.r-ility, and was anxious to have all doubts of the conetitu ionality ol the law dispelled be fore he made a movement looking to wards deportation. It should also be re mem bered in favor of tbe prea ideui thai he did everything in his power to ex pedite the decision, and that tho resull 01 his great concern'in the matter waf determining of the issues raised in c epace of time never before equaled by the supreme court of tbe United States, We have now a settlement of the Cbi nene question in a way that places v practically and effectually at rest. Tht objectionable people are not only ex eluded from admission into the country 1 ut we have the machinery of the law to operate to make that excluaion wha it never wbb before, effective. This l; the end oi a long and arduous struggle begun in San Francisco in 1857 by a fey peoplo, who felt sooner or saw plaloe than the rest of the American peopli tho effect of nnrestricted Asiatic inimi giation.
