BUREAUCRACY OR ROTATION IN OFFICE.
The Forum, for AugUßt, contains an
article entitled, "Does Public Life Give
Long Careers ?" It is written by Mr.
Edward P. Clark, of whom we know
nothing, but as to whose political ances
try we will venture a number of postu
lates. He is either an Englishman, or,
if American born, and of American de
scent, his grandfather or great-grand
father was a Federalist, and he himself,
if he has passed the nJiddle age, has
been successively a Whig and a Repub
lican. He begins his essay thus: "The
"attitude of the recent Republican
"state convention in Ohio towards John
"Sherman raises the question whether
" his party will give the veteran leader
"another term in the senate, if it has
" the chance. The incident suggests an
"inquiry as to the general subject of the
"stability of public life." And much
more to the same purport.
Mr. Clark, in the course of his long
essay, shows that he is a devotee of civil
service reform or bureaucracy. With
painstaking perseverance he has ac
cumulated an immense mass of details
of people who have grown gray in the
public service, amongst the rest, of that
cold-blooded fossil John Sherman, who
haa been thirty-eight years in public
life, and who would like to be there an
other thirty-eight years if he could
stand off the only creature that is known
to be as cold-blooded as himself, viz.,
Death. The healthiest sign of national
politics today is that the people of Ohio
have at last got tired of John Sherman.
The Alliance senator from Kansas,
Pfeffer, has unconsciously plagiarized
the Los Angeles Herald when he said
that John Sherman is the biggest and
deadliest enemy of the people the United
States have ever had to combat. His
thirty-eight years in public life on a
small yearly salary, in a highly expen
sive city, have left him a many times
millionaire, but tbe legislation he has
assisted, with unvarying assiduity, to
push through congress in the interest of
the capitalists, has left the people poor
indeed.
This bureaucratic essayist turhs up
innumerable people who have been
elected again and again to either house
of congresß, and who, between both
bodies, have demonstrated their ability
to remain Vicars of Bray. In his feeble
way, he cannot forbear sneering at An
drew Jackson, who was not an official
Barnacle, and whoße occupancy of office
was only occasional. It is quite true
that "Old Hickory" generally earned his
own living, and that tbe, Federalists,
bureaucrats and friends of Henry Clay,
cheated him out of one term of the pres
idency; but the fact nevertheless re
mains that the victor of New Orleans
was probably, after Washington, Jeffer
son, Jackson and Lincoln, the most val
uable public man that ever figured in
the affairs of the United States.
Jackson was the man who really re
dedicated the United States to repub
lican-democratic government. Mr. Clark
puts in a great deal of time sneering at
Jefferson and Jackson. Both of these
eminent Democrats should be held in
daily and affectionate remembrance by
those of our people in whose being
there is a strong yearning for govern
ment of the people, for the people and
by the people. Jefferson first, and
Jackson next, threw out powerful break
waters under which the republican ship
of state could anchor.
If it had not been for Jackson's noble
democratic-republican and anti-bureau
cratic stand for free and elastic govern
ment, responsible to the people, our
nincompoips would be sending over for
one *ff Mrs. Wettin's nincompoops,
called Prince This or Prince That, cer
tain that, be his name what it might,
he would have the leading characterist
ics of Victoria's dead-beat-and-no-ac
count sons to reign over them. Rota
tion in office—Jackson's shibboleth —
and Marcy's "to the victors belong the
apoils," has saved the United States
from a monarchical cataclysm. When
Jackson kicked the federal office-hold
era into the street and throttled the
United States bank, he gave the Amer
ican republic another lease of life. For
thia heroic and most salutary action he
has never been forgiven by the feeble
forcible slaves of power, who resent his
offense of endowing Americans with ro
bust manhood.
These two\ men alone, Jefferson the
creator, andyackson the defender of
THE LOS ANGELES HERALD: TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 4, 1891
democracy, the Herald has no hesita
tion in proclaiming, were worth all the
multitudes Mr. Clark recapitulates as
having again and again filled office.
Abraham Lincoln was another man who
had no very elaborate collegiate prepar
ation for his great responsibilities, but
who discharged them remarkably well.
Prior to his election to the presidency
he rilled one term in the house of repre
sentatives. This, as far as our recollec
tion goes, constituted the sum total of
bis public services. And yet the fact
that he had not for years vibrated be
tween the United States house of repre
sentatives and the senate did not seem
to impair his usefulness in the slightest
degree. On the contrary, as in the case
of Jackson, it seemed to impart to the
man a vigor and close affiliation with
the masses which would be impossible
to a hidebound bureaucrat bent only on
remaining in office.
INDICATIONS FOR A GREAT FAIR.
The directors of the Sixth District
Agricultural association met yesterday
to make arrangements for their twelfth
annual fair. At this meeting the racing
programme was principally considered,
and a spirit of great liberality prevailed.
Purses to the amount,of $12,000 were
arranged for, which are sufficient in
volume to attract the best horses in
California. The fact that all the great
California stables will be back fro m the
east by that date will add greatly
to the interest of the event, which will
run from the 19th to the 24th of Octo
ber. This circumstance will secure us a
flashing season. Next week the di
rectors will meet and arrange for an
agricultural and horticultural fair,
which will doubtless be on a scale
commensurate with the speed pro
gramme. Altogether, we should have a
week of unexampled attractions.
HAS THE LAW ANY MEANING?
All over California a great cry is
arising at the miscarriage of justice.
Compounding a felony seems to be the
easiest sort of a thing anywhere in this
state. People who are by no means
strait-laced are appalled at the ease
with which flagrant offences are con
doned. Take one case, conspicuous for
its sensational features! On the night
of July 25th a prominent citizen of Los
Angeles was aroused from his bed by
the outcries of a girl proceeding from
the Sixth street park. He rushed
over and found her wildly distracted,
and weeping, and accusing a man named
William Luckenbach of having commit
ted a rape on her person. Mr. Gassen,
the intervenor in the cause 'of decency
and law and order, brought both parties
to tbe central police station, the girl
weeping violently all the way. What
was the result of a crime which dese
crated a park dedicated to the innocent
amusement of the citizen and the ladies
of his family? This man Lucken
bach was arraigned on the 30th of
July, five days later, on a charge
of disturbing the peace—a com
paratively venial offence. He plead
guilty, and August Ist was set for his
sentence. This, at the request of the
district attorney was postponed until he
could investigate the matter further.
Luckenbach, who has a "pull" at the
city hall, his brother being in the em
ploy of City Clerk Teed, was defended
by Assistant City Attorney Dunn. The
girl, through some hocus pocus, has
been persuaded or frightened into con
doning this felony. By Luckenbach's
own confession at the police office, on the
night of the disgraceful occurrence, he
was guilty of fornication which,
it is to be hoped, is an offense under the
statutes of California. The people of
Los Angeles will watch with intense in
terest the further progress of this case.
Have we any laws ? If so, are they to
be held up to public mockery and scorn ?
Are our parks to be made the scene of
intolerable outrages on public decency,
and all without redress? It is to be
hoped that the district attorney will
carry out his investigations with some
regard to law and to justice.
The engineer corps of the Southern Pa
cific railway is now at work at the Santa
Monica cafion, with a full equipment of
horses and working paraphernalia. All
doubt has been removed as to the square,
business-like character of this move
ment. That corporation has secured the
right of way from Santa Monica to the
old cafion, and everything bespeaks en
ergetic track-laying in that direction.
Slowly but surely the programme which
tho Herald has outlined will be carried
through. Our leaden-gaited contempo
raries are obliged, as usual, to
come in a day after the fair.
They will gradually range them
selves in line, and realize that the
"world do move." Railway construc
tion on a considerable scale will also
shortly begin to the south of Santa
Monica. Mr. Campbell, representing a
corporation which it requires no great
powers of imagination to recognize as
the Santa Fe, has obtained the right of
way from Inglewood to the old Bernard
wharf at South Santa Monica, and rail
way building will begin shortly
from the former point. Captain
Hutchinson has sold the pioject
ors of this latter road 240 acres
near the old Bernard wharf, thirteen of
which have been set apart as a terminal.
The right of way from Inglewood em
braces one hundred feet in width, with
the exception of half a mile which will
doubtless be shortly conceded Or ulti
mately condemned. Evidently our
Santa Monica friends are to be the ben
eficiary of the old adage that it never
rains but it pours.
An array of over forty instances of
miscarriage of justice, in Chinese cases,
which had been tried in the lower courts,
and convictions secured, which had af
terwards been appealed to the superior
courts, and been lost—dismissed or
dripped off of the calendar, from some
m«/Bt«rions "pull," has excited the at
/
tention of our people generally. What
is the occsrlt influence which has brought
this lamentable condition of things
about? It is hard, under any circum
stances, to bring about the conviction
of a Chinaman in any court, owing to
the willingness of the pig-tails to swear
to anything to get a countryman free.
Why this peculiar exhibit as to the
superior courts when it comes to an
almond-eyed convict ?
The death of Postmaster Green, at a
very early hour Monday morning, re
moved from this community an estima
ble citizen, and a federal official who
has twice approved himself a capable
and meritorious office-holder. Mr.
Green was a gentleman of pleasing man
ners and correct business habits, and
bis loss will be all the more mourned
because he was unobtrusive, gentle and
accom modating.
AMUSEMENTS.
the grand.
Daniel Frohman's Lyceum Theatre
company will begin its third engagement
here at the Grand opera house next Tues
day evening. This company has been so
thoroughly accepted by the Los Angeles
public that no word of commendation is
necessary. The assurance that the favor
ites of former visits are still among the
players, with added new faces, concern
ing whom the best of reports have
reached us, is sufficient to convince its
many admirers that this engagement of
the Lyceum players will be fully as nota
ble as the previous ones. The extensive
list of plays to be offered includes more
novelties than have been given in the
same length of time by any company for
years. The opening bill will be The
Charity Ball, by Belasco and De Mille,
authors of The Wife, and ran the whole
season year before last at the Lyceum
thdatre. New York. It has been equally
successful in Chicago, Philadelphia,
Washington and Bo;ton, the only cities
visited by this company during last sum
mer's tour. It is the first of the new
Elays the Lyceum company will give
ere. It is written in the same vein as
The Wife, and is a play in which Wall
street society and the church are co
equally prominent. The Idler, by C.
Haddon Chambers, author of Captain
Swift, is announced for Thursday night
of the engagement, and Saturday night
will be given to a production of Dion
Boucicault's rare old comedy, Old Heads
and Young Hearts.
WHY DID THEY ADJOURN?
Short and Quiet Meeting of the Board
of Education.
The board of education met last night.
Not only was there a full attendance of
the board, but the lobby and tbe gal
lery were full also. There was a preach
er or two, several of the teachers dropped
by the classification committee, a large
number of women, and several members
of last year's school board, in addition
to a large number of casual visitors who
had come to see the fight. One of the
preachers remarked to the Herald re
porter just previous to the meeting: "I
am not a betting man, but I'll bet any
thing you like up to $5 that the board
don't hold any meeting tonight." The
Herald reporter didn't take him up.
for there was a feeling of electricity in
the air that indicated! a storm of some
sort. It was lucky he didn't, for, after
the reading of the minutes, the board
merely ordered the return of the bids
and check*- on the Qarey street
and Ann Btretft schools, then moved to
adjourn. Mr, Davis wanted to know
why the board adjourned, but no one
told him. The gallery smiled signifi
cantly at each other, and an adjourn
ment was taken to Friday night.
The classification committee held a
meeting after the meeting of the board,
but had not arrived at any decision
when the reporter left.
"What did they want to adjourn for?"
queried Mr. Davis. We had our little
entertainment on Saturday; why
couldn't the board stand a little of the
same? What did they Bay to us? Well,
not much of anything. They wanted to
know why we discharged some teachers
We didn't discharge any. The contracts
were only foi a year, and all terminated
this month. We simply failed to re
engage them. It has come to a
pretty pass if the board can't
drop a teacher for inefficiency
without having the teachers and their
friends jump on us and ask the reason.
The lady who did the most talking the
other day was Mrs. Dr. Dorßey, who had
no possible interest in the matter any
how. There was one other lady who did
some talking, but she did very little
talking and was very ladylike a"nd po
lite."
Mr. Crowley, in an interview with the
Herald reporter after the meeting,
said: "Everything is all right. There
has been a little misunderstanding, but
everything will be all right and har
monious by the time the board meets
next Friday night."
M. C. Marsh, in response to a ques
tion, replied: "I don't know of any
particular trouble in the board. I ob
jected to the acceptance of the resigna
tion of Miss Slack, the principal of the
Alpine street school, because I had re
ceived a petition numerously signed by
parents of children under her charge
who wanted her reinstated for the com
ing year."
"Why didn't the board hold a meet
ing tonight?" remarked a gallery specta
tor, "why, the reason is plain "enough.
They were afraid tt, hold one. The
classification committee will have a
meeting now, some compromises will be
made, and next Friday night the board
will hold a session as uninteresting as a
convention of sheep."
THE SUPERVISORS.
Business Transacted at Yesterday's
Meeting of the Board.
At the meeting of the board of super
visors, yesterday, the representatives of
the original petitioners for the forma
tion of Levee district No. 2, appeared
before the board aud made the state
ment that they were of the opinion that
the majority of the property owners in
terested had not signed the petition.
On this showing all action taken here
tofore by the board in the matter was
rescinded. The election had already
been held, and the supervisors were
about to canvass the returns, when this
unexpected phase of the case turned up.
A. petition was filed for tbe formation
of tbe Albambra irrigation district, aud
the hearing was set for August 7th.
Yesterday was the regular day set by
the board for the approval of demands
on the county treasury, and the greater
part of the day was spent in this busi
ness.

THE COURTS.
Bill Kincaid Sent to Agnew's
Asylum.
An Interesting Decision From
the Supreme Court.
A Number of Court Cases Acted Upon
Yesterday.
Two Persons Committed to the Insane
Asylum — Notes Picked Up in
the Courts — New Cases
Filed Yesterday.
Bill Kincaid, the bad man from Ari
zona, who wanted to kill a switchman
in the Southern Pacific yards Saturday
night because he was "swinging a red
lantern and stopping the trainß," came
up for examination for insanity before
Judge Smith and a commission in luna
cy, consisting of Drs. Kannon and.Kier
ulff, yesterday morning. As was re
lated in Sunday's Herald, Kincaid
arrived in the city Saturday from Ben
son, Arizona, with a double-barrel
shotgun, a Henry rifle, a 44-caliber
Colt's revolver, two cartridge belts and
a satchel full of ammunition. He said
that he was on his way up north to kill
an editor, but failed to take the train,
and a little later wandered out to the
electric power house and took a couple
of shots at a switchman by way of pass
ing the time.
Officers Leverich and Huston cor
raled the bad man and took him to the
county jail, where he waß taken into
court yesterday morning. Kincaid was
very unwilling to talk when questioned
by the physicians, and about all that
could be got out of him was that he was
born in Middletown, Mo., and was ad
judged insane, and was committed to
the Agnew'd asylum.
Morris Higgins, a veteran from the
Soldiers' home, was also examined for
insanity yesterday by the same physi
cians in Judge Smith's court. Higgins
is a very peculiar character, and his
vagaries are numerous. When taken
into court he announced that he was
the owner of an "ivory mine," and lay
down on the floor with his mouth open,
so that the physicians could see his
"ivories." Going up to one of the
doctors he suddenly asked, "Are you a
mason?'' Getting no reply, he began
making the most extravagant gestures
by way of signs, and succeeded in con
vulsing the court. He was also sent to
Agnew's.
A SUPREME COURT DECISION.
A supreme court decision in the case
of Lydia A. Van Dyke et rex., respon
dents, vs. the Bank of Orange, appel
lants, reached this city yesterday, re
versing the judgment of the superior
court of Orange county in favor of the
plaintiffs, and ordering judgment en
tered in favor of the defendants. The
suit was one to enjoin the sheriff of
Orange county from foreclosing a judg
ment lien on property belonging to
plaintiffs which had been homesteaded
nine months after the judgment was
rendered. The lower court issued the
injunction, holding that the judgment
which was sought to be foreclosed bad
not been properly docketed. The su
preme court holds that the docket is
correct, however, and orders the injunc
tion dissolved.
COURT NOTES.
The cast of the People vs. B. W. Edel
man was called in department one yes
terday, and the defendant, appearing
with his counsel, Henry W. Gage, en
tered a plea "of not guilty. The case
was put on the trial calendar, to be set
Thursday.
The case of the People vs. Bris
toba Pina, charged with murder, came
up before Judge Smith on a motion to
strike out a part of tbe information.
The motion was denied, a demurrer to
the information overruled, and the case
set for trial September 7th.
The|case of Smith vs. Evans was re
ferred by consent to Court Commissioner
C. W. Pendleton, to take further testi
mony and make a report.
Ah Fat charged with attempting to
commit grand larceny, pleaded not
guilty and the case was placed on the
trial calendar.
NEW CASES.
R. C. Guirado filed a petition in insol
vency with the county clerk yesterday.
The liabilities are placed at $22,211.85
and the assets at $47,550, consisting prin
cipally of real estate.
Isaac B. Lee petitions for letters of ad
ministration on the estate of his wife,
Alice S. Lee.
A.P. Bentley petitions for the probate
of the will of Annie Bates, who died in
this county on July 22,1801, leaving real
and personal property valued at $2500.
GRUB FOR CHILEANS.
San Diegans Propose to Help the
Hungry and Make Money.
Edward N. Buck, the editor of the
San Diego San Diegan, is in the city in
tbe furtherance of a commercial propo
sition by which he and his associates
expect to reap golden returns on a
small investment. The scheme is to
load a ship of 1000 tons capacity at San
Diego with flour, canned goods, cured
meats and general provisions, and send
her to Iquique, where the cargo will be
sold for gold to the insurgents at prices
which will return a very handsome
profit to the projectors.
Mr. Buck, George S. Wheatley and
Hampden Storey, all prominent San
Diegans, propose to furnish, man and
victual the ship, convey her cargo to
Iquique, and divide the net profits with
the merchants who load the vessel. It
is estimated that a cargo of tbe size
intended will cost $40,000,' and of this
$18,000 worth has already been obtained.
Mr. Buck says that there is millions in
it, and expects to interest enough pro
vision dealers of this city to make up
the remainder of the cargo.
IN SERIOUS TROUBLE.
A Pretty Chambermaid Accused of
Stealing. ,
Mrs. Lizzie Brown, a Nadeau house
chambermaid, was arrested in this city
last evening by Private Detective G. W.
Anderson and lodged in the city jail on
a charge of grand larceny. The com
plaining witness in the case is a Mrs.
Coleman, of San Pedro, and the stolen
property consists of a large quantity of
ladies' and gentlemens' underwear,
knives and forks, gloves,ribbons, towels,
etc.,the whole of which is valued atsloo.
The goods are said to have been stolen
by Mrs. Brown from Mrs. Coleman's
residence at San Pedro while the former
was a neighbor of Mrs.. Coleman's.
Another lady, who lives in the vicinity,
claims to have seen Mrs. Brown leaving
the house with a bundle, but the latter
states that the goods were presented to
her.
Detective Anderson searched the
chambermaid's trunks at the Nadeau
last night and found most of the prop
erty in them, together with several
Nadeau house towels. The prisoner is
an unusually pretty woman and is tbe
wife of a railroad engineer.
. "The Royal baking powder," says
James F. Babcock, state assayor of
Massachusetts, "contains ammonia, a
drug derived from disgusting sources,
powerful in its action upon the system.
The adulteration of baking powder with
ammonia ia in my opinion an injury to
the public health. It deserves the
severest condemnation, and should be
brought to the attention of physicians
and boards of health throughout the
country."
YUNG HIM'S MURDER.
THE PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION
OF ANTONIO MASIAS.
The Defendant's Reputation Said to Be
G-ood—The Murdered Man's Partner
and Friends Testify.
The preliminary examination of young
Antonio Masias, who is charged with
the murder of a Chinaman named Yung
Him at Ballona, waa continued yester
day afternoon before Justice Stanton in
the township court.
J. G. Machado, Charles Freeman, W.
Saenz, J. J. Chapman, V. Lugo, and S.
A. Waldron, all character witnesses for
the defense, were put on the stand out
of order, and all testified that Masias
bore an excellent reputation as far as
they knew.
Yung Sing, a partner of the mur
dered man, was then called, and testi
fied that the day of the killing he left
home at 3 a.m., as usual, to make bis
regular route with the vegetable deliv
ery wagon. On his return at 7:30
o'clock he found him sitting or reclining
in the Beat of the wagon, which was
standing in front of the shanty with the
horses still attached to it. He
thought that his partner was
asleep, but on going up to
rouse him he discovered that Him
was a corpse. The dead man's head
hung over the back of the seat and bis
blood coveied the box of the wagon and
the trays of vegetables. The pocket of
Him'e overalls, on the right side, was
turned inside out. He usually carried
the money realized from the safe of veg
etables in"this pocket, but his individual
money he carried in an inside pocket,
which was untouched. Him had started
out that morning with about $15 worth
of vegetables and had disposed of the
whole load. .
The witness followed the wagon
trail back to a spot where there
was a large pool of blood in
the road. At this point Sing
discovered the impression of Him's hat
in the sand, but the hat had been car
ried away. The witness identified the
knife and nurse found on Masias as
those belonging to his partner.
Don Bo and Lou Sen, two vegetable
peddlers, were put on the stand and cor
roborated Ling's testimony. Bo took
out the same kind and quantity of vege
tables as did Him on the day of the
murder and got $18 for them.
The case will be resumed today.

A WAITER SLASHED.
An Unknown Man Makes a Vigorous
Dive With a Knife.
There was considerable excitement at
at the corner of Requena and Main
Btreets at an early hour this morning.
A young waiter named Granfield was
stabbed in the right .side. At first it
was thought that he was dangerously
wounded. A hackman is supposed to
have done the cutting. Granfield was
taken to the police station where his
wound was dressed by Dr. Murphy. The
knife fortunately struck a rib, otherwise
the young man would have fared badly.
He thinks that the man who slashed
at him mistook him for somebody else.
