TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3;!. 1890. If the United States could once get a genuine western man for Secretary of the Treasury we might look for better times all over the country. The strange thing about it all is that while we have had some nominal Western men in that office they all come under the control of Wall street. One of the remarkable things about the Republican bounty on sugar is that application must be made for it before the Ist day of July. Of course, that throws it over for a year. This is a scurvy way of keeping their pledge to the ear but breaking it to the hope of the American producer. The young German Emperor appeals to be making great headway in the good opinion of the military critics of Europe, his conduct at the recent military maneuvers, it is claimed, having been characterized by great tactical and strategical ability. There was always good fighting blood in the Hohenzollerns. In other columns Mrs. Ogier, the widow of the well known federal judge of that name, enters a vigorous protest against the opening of Fort street into Main. This lady does not belong to those who sacrifice their rights to oblige Councilmen with axes to grind. Her complaint, just, moderate and reason able, will be re-echoed by many of our citizens. "Why should a man like Markham be nominated against Pond? The San Francisco Alta says that the Republican candidate for Governor cast his first vote in this State in 1884. For two of the six years since he has been out of ths State. He has, therefore, not had time to make himself acquainted with our public affairs, having been for much of that period engaged in arduous pri vate business, which engrossed of much of his time. The fact is that the people who claim any special recogni tion for Markham do not know what they are talking about. For the great electric railway system that is about to be inaugurated here the people of Los Angeles are indebted to Mr. Muir, of the Southern Pacific railway. Tbat gentleman organized the enterprise, and was largely instrumen tal in diverting it from Oakland. The movement is backed by strong men, and ample capital is on band to carry it through successfully. The process by which the road will be operated will be the Sprague, and is similar to that in use in San Jose, Tacoma and Seattle. The plan upon which the abortive Los Ange les road was operated is the Daft, and it has not proved satisfactory anywhere. It is pleasant to know that millions of capital are going into this venture, and that work will probably begin on it in a period of thirty days. Mr. Dan Bcrns is credited with hav ing given $0000 towards a Republican wigwam in San Francisco. According to figures furnished the Examiner and Alta by Hon. John P. Dunn, tlie State Controller. Mr. Burns could very well afford to put a good deal of money in fancy projects of the kind,considering the sums out of which he has defrauded the State of California. This sort of thing appears to be a penchant with Re publican Secretaries of State, Mr. Drury Melone also having shown his hand in the same line, and very successfully. It would, perhaps', contribute more to the success of the Republican ticket and to tho satisfaction of the voters if Mr. Burns would make restitution to the State treasury and leave the building of wigwams to people who have come honestly by their money. TITE LOS ANGELES HERALD: TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 23, 1890. TRACING OUT RAILROAD MOVES. The journalist who attempts to solve the problems of projected railways must do a good deal of groping in the dark. Yet it is a fact with railroad designs, as it is with all others that are based upon the deductions of reason and common sense, that a very close guess may be made at their objectives by taking all the facts controlling them into considera tion. The Terminal railroad company has already done some very good work here. It has built what is known as the Cross road, which is now in operation to Pasadena, with branches to Al tadena and the Yerdugo canon—some twenty-five miles of road in all. Fresh blood has been thrown into the manage ment of this road lately, and it has transpired that some of the most solid men of the West are in its directory and behind it. So much for that branch of the subject. We now know that the company is getting ready to extend the road from this city to the ocean, and is also secur ing the right of way for its extension from Pasadena to San Bernardino. One of its chief men here, wbo has recently taken a leading interest in it, publicly assured the people of Pasadena four days since that this road would be ready to place them in Chicago in four days by the time the World's Fair began. Now' take all these facts into consideration in connection with the assurance that has been given out to the effect that the Union Pacific company has secured an agreement from the Atlantic and Pacitic company for wheelage over their road from the desert into San Bernardiao for the term of three years, and we are brought face to face with the solution of a problem which almost works itself out. The Union Pacitic, through its branch organization the Utah Southern, has practically extended its road from Og den to Pioche. The latter point is within two hundred miles of Barstow, and at Barstow it would be practically connected with the Terminal company's road reaching to this city and ultimately to the ocean. If this does not mean that Los An geles is soon to have another transcon tinental line, running through a country that will open to us exhaustiess mines of coal and precious metals, and give us a tributary territory of priceless value, what does it mean ? The constant springing up" of impor tant enterprises in Los Angeles must impress even a man of the iron quality of a Wouter the Doubter with the idea, that this place has a great future, and that that future is immediate. The Electric Railway which has been pro jected for our city is the latest of these improvements. A few weeks ago the great enterprise of the St. Louis capi talists was the leading topic—an enter prise which will probably give us another transcontinental railway before the scheme is completed. No sooner was this project well developed than a great syndicate was organized to develop the Ti-mescal tin mines. And still the march of capital is uninterrupted. A company is engaged in doubling the capacity of the Bear Valley Water Com pany, which will make as productive as the best lands of Riverside enormous sections of land that are now not productive, and which will add greatly to the wealth of South ern California and be tributary to the growth of I.os Angeles. With the Union Pacific's Utah Southern Railway completed from Pioche to Ixjs Angeles we shall have the cheap fuel which is all we require to become a great manufac turing center. As a matter of fact, if one cares to glance seriously at the out look, there is not a place in the United States of tbe size of this city that has so many projects under way for its devel opment as Los Angeles. They are pro moted by persons of wealth, enterprise and business sagacity, and they will create an exceptional prosperity in Southern California, with this city as its great center. Oub Republican friends have ceased to poke fun at the tax-rate plank of the Democratic platform as a mere five-cents underbid below tbe plank on the same subject in the Republican platform. They have found out that there is a very material difference. Whilst the Republican limit of a rate of fifty cents taxation on the one hundred dollars, is upon whatever the assessed valuation may be in the future, the Democratic limit of a rate of forty-five cents on tiie one hundred dollars is fixed at the assessed valuation of 1880. As the as sessment roll for that year was $1,115, --014,022, the fixed limit under the Demo cratic platform would be $4,415,445.5:1. The yearly average increase in the as sessment roll is about $70,831,770, so that the Republican rate would produce a steadily augmenting amount of taxes from the people. It will thus be seen that the tax rate adopted by the Demo cratic convention is a measure of actual re lief to the taxpayers, whilst that adopted by the Republican convention is an in genious device to deceive the people. Tiik indications are that Col. Mark ham will have occasion to regret some of his utterances, as no man desires to ap pear in a ridiculous light. His state ment before the Republican State Cen tral Committee that he would carry Los Angeles county by five thousand major ity will be handed down as one of the champion jokes of tbe day. Our Re publican friends find it very difficult to disabuse themselves of the idea that the Harrison vote is the real criterion by which to gauge their party strength in this county. As a matter of fact, the population of Los Angeles has largely changed since 1888. Tlie thing would not have been so absurd if the claim had been made that Markham would cross the Tehachepi with five thousand major ity, but even then it would have been extravagant. Great surprises await the Republicans in this Bection, and they need not be a whit astonished if Pond should practically wipe out their boasted majorities. FREMONT MEMORIAL. Patriotic Suggestion of Relief to the Widow of the Pathfinder. The enterprise and daring of John Charles Fremont opened, not California alone, but the gold and silver-bearing states and territories of the American j union. To him, very largely, the United States bondholders are indebted for the j gold premium on their securities, and the nation owes its peerless fame as a | specie-paying debtor. Without Fremont j the civil war might have failed. A hos- j tile power might have flanked us, and shut us off from our free Pacitic outlet I to Cathay. We owe this man a lofty monument. ! What shall it be? Monuments, however I solid, are too often hollow memorials. A hollow monument, one that can serve 1 a useful purpose, such as a library, a J temple of art, a hospital, is solid to its j very center. What monument would j Fremont choose, today, if he could I speak to us from the sky ? A home for 1 the declining years of his beloved wife. She, the accomplished daughter of I Thomas H. Benton —"Old Bullion," our incorruptible national senator for thirty 1 years —is destitute today. Late, too late, in Fremont's seventy sixth year, congress essayed the other ; day to honorably reward him for loyalty j and clear-sighted daring in untried paths of peace and war by retiring him | on the pay of a retired major general. , The infinitely welcome cup of comfort ! had hardly reached his lips when his \ sudden death dashed it to the ground, j leaving the wife and daughter whom he ! loved, to the memory or neglect of his countrymen for whom his youth i had found a golden empire. Shall it be neglect? Are Califor- 1 nians in this magnificent garden of Eden, ungrateful? They are too brave themselves for that. Let Cali fornia raise a tender memorial to that ''Pathfinder's" name that once stirred thirteen hundred thousand voting free men like the sound of a trumpet. Let us limit each subscription, on tlie open list, to one dollar; that the warm, free, heart of all the state may join in our grateful expression, for a public bene factor, dead, and let us place this fund in the hands of trustees for the im mediate and ample comfort of his widow. Let the state of California be prompt in her justice and in her grati tude. The emergency does not permit delay. A STATEMENT OF FACTS By the Los Angeles Printers' Protec tive Fraternity. To Whom it May Concern : 1 luring several weeks past there bave been scattered broadcast throughout the city purported copies of resolutions adopted by several local labor organiza tions, denouncing the Herald and Times newspapers as enemies of organized labor; but those denunciations are. in fact, directed against the labor organ ization known as the Printers' Protective Fraternity. We are confident that such action was induced by one-sided state ments and gross misrepresentations, and therefore, believing that the individual members of these labor organizations do not mean to be unfair to co-ordinate bodies, we offer to them and to tbe pub lic tbe following true statement of our | side of the case, to the end that justice may Vie done us and those who act with us: First. Let it be clearly understood that the Printer's Protective Fraternity is a labor organization in tbe fullest and strictest sense. It is as much so as any other similar body in existence. Second. Its aims are : The social ele vation of its members; to secure for their labor a fair share of the wealth it creates; to effect the removal of tbe an tagonisms that have so long existed be tween labor and capital, for we believe such antagonisms to be detrimental to both; to care for members in sickness, and to extend substantial aid to the widow and the orphan. The attack that has been made upon our society is in the interest of the Typo graphical Union, an organization com posed of but a small percentage of the printers of the United States. It is a body that arrogates to itsfclf the espe cial championship and protection of the interests of the craft. We deny the I claim. This body charges our Fraternity i with seeking to reduce wages ; with be i ing enemies of organized labor; with ' having none but inferior workmen in i our ranks; with possessing a member ■ ship composed of the offscourings oi i society, and other heinous offenses. A candid and honest investigation will show tbe utter falsity of every one of these charges. The Fraternity has never reduced the prevailing rate of wages on entering any field, but in many instances has increased the scale. 'We can refer any one seeking the truth to our advent into Los Angeles. We have not reduced the scale that has been in vogue here for a long time. The pay-rolls of the offices in which we are employed stand as proof positive of this assertion. Again, when the Fraternity was or ganized in Kansas City the established scale was 35 cents per 1000 ems for com positors. The Fraternity asked for a 37)<a cent scale, and received it for over 11 months before the Typographical union came up to our standard. A short time after the rival organization got the advance to 370 cents, we asked for 40 cents, and were awarded that rate sev eral months before the Typographical union made a move to come up to our advanced standard. A glance at our constitution will explain our sick benefit and insurance system. Great stress is laid by our organ ization on the fact, that it does not coun tenance strikes, under any circum stances. On the contrary, in our laws we strictly | discountenance them as be ing unnecessary and injurious, and we offer instead a system of arbitration, which we have found effective in set tling grievances whenever and wherever they arise. The Printer's Protective Fraternity hits nothing to conceal, and confidently courts investigation as to its system, its laws, its practical workings and its membership, which is composed of citizens of the country and honorable men and women, who have no apologies to make for their affiliations, and who claim equal rights with their fellows in the great field of labor. Asking our fellow workmen and the general public to investigate the mat ters here presented, and to form just opinions in the premises, We remain, fraternally yours, , T. P. Brown, ECGENE BASSETT, W. A. SI'ALDLNO, P. H. Wilson, Frank B. Schitz. Mullen, Bluett and & Co. The well known reliable clothiers, have received a large and elegant assortment of fall styles in men's.l boys' and chil dren's clothing, furnishing goods and hats. 3t. EASTERN ECHOES. Brief Mention of Happenings Across the Mountains. Kx-Congressman William |lleimann died at Kvansville, Ind., Monday fore noon, after a protracted illness." James B. Long, treasurer of Ontario county, Ontario, was arrested at Toronto, charged with embezzling $30,000. All engineers and firemen employed by the new switching association at the Chicago stock yards, struck Monday af ternoon, because two of the employees were non-union men. The fourth annual convention of the German Catholic congress begins at Pittsburg today. Last night there was a torch-light parade, 12,000 persons be ing in line, and a great mass meeting. At Buffalo, N. V., Frank Miller, a widower and the father of five children, j today fatally wounded Mrs. Mary Kurtz, his house-keeper, and mother of two children, and then put a bullet in his | . own brain. He was drunk. Sylvester Cummiggs, a wealthy re- | tired shoe manufacturer at Springvale, Maine, committed suicide, because he was recently indicted by the grand jury [or burning a barn owned by Charles Pray. He left a letter denying the burn- | ing of the barn. The coroner's jury decided that Fri day's accident on the Reading railroad was due to the negligence of the signal man of the coal train, who remained in his caboose while the train was slowing up, instead of getting otf and placing proper signals for the train following. It has been learned that an inch dynamite cartridge was found fastened to the Michigan Central track Saturday aiternoon, and removed just ten min utes before tbe limited express came along. It contained enough of the ex plosive to have blown the whole train to pieces. Word has been received from Point Harrow, Arctic ocean, that Joseph George, a Portuguese in the employ of j the Pacitic Steam Whaling company, was murdered June Ist, by an Ksqui- I man, because George had won an Es- , quimau woman's affections. The mur derer was condemned by a board of in quiry, and shot within twelve hours ailer the murder. NO LIGHT ON TIIE CABOOSE. The Cause of a Bad Smash-Cp 011 the j Oregon Short Line., Nampa, Sept. 22.—A wreck occurred ] on the Oregon Short line about three j miles west of Nampa tonight. A freight train broke in two between Caldwell and Nampa, and part of the train with j the caboose, ran down grade at J a rapid rate. [The night eastbound passenger train, running at a high rate of speed, ran into the freight, reducing the caboose to kindling wood and throwing the rest ol' the freight cars into the ditch. Patrick Boyle, of Boise river, a passenger, was killed. Engineer Kaiser was severely injured, and tbe fireman was badly scalded. All the passengers were badly shaken up. The engineer of the passenger train says there was no light on the rear end of the caboose. SANTA BARBARA I»EMOCRATS. A Lively Time Over the Nomination of a Superior .fudge. Santa Barbara, Cal., Sept. 22. —The Democratic county convention met here today for the nomination of a county ticket. They had a lively time.
