Vtiss to Attorney-General Olney will create a great sensation throughout tbe United States. The young aud able Judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District'of California is as fearless as he is clear-headed, aud the ehilly-Bhailying, evasive and illegal course of the attorney-general properly ecmes in forjudge Eoss'a scathing and contemptuous criticism. If all the high oGicials in the United Statea had respected, and responded to the clear letter of tbe law with the proraptnesa and directness of Judge Eoss, we should not have been treated to the melancholy spectacle of laws re maining a dead letter on our statute books. In fact, it was the resolute and unflinching attitude of onr Southern California judge that made it possible to obtain any recognition whatsoever for a statute that ought to have settled the Chinese question satisfactorily to every one concerned. The international irrigation conven tion will meet in Los Angeles next Tues day. Delegates are arriving already and the prospects are bright for a large at tendance. The reflex action cf this as sembly will be very great for good. The irrigation laws everywhere are in a chaotic state, owing to the nb3urd at tempt to bleed the civil and common laws upon the eubject. Tha feeling of the nation is one o! apathy, lethargy and indifference towr-rds irrigation because its necessity ia unknown and misunder stood, aa the great and only factor in the redemptidh of Uncle Sam's sole sur viving public domain. While an an cient art, like tbe others, it ia re-born and is feeling the throbbing of its new life. With a clearer understanding of the difficulties to be overcome in the march of progress in irrigation lineß, together with a combination of forces, the cause of irrigation will receive a wonderful impulse, and wil! go forward with confidence to success. The Hekai.d has indulged in a little persiflage anout the midwinter fair, and all with the bast of intontion?. We confess tbat wo were a little envious that socio enterprising Angelefio had not inaugurated the exposition. We have conceded tha full measure of praise accruing from such a masaißcant pro ject mainly to tba enterprise and inde iatigable industry of Mr. M. H. De Young. As an amende honorable for eomo of our playfulness, v,o reproduce the following extracts from a personal note from Mr. Da Young, which 6eoms to state the cisc fairly: "£ notice iv a "recent issue of the Herald an article "in which you hold me personally re sponsible for tbo action of the executive "committee of the midwinter fair in the "matter of establishing a charge for the "space to be occupied in tbe exposition "buildings. I think I can trust your "sense of journalistic courtesy to mike "an exolanarioii, which will correct an "error into which you and a number ot "other editors have fallen. In the lirst "place, you are wrong in saying that i "i\a> imposi.ng a bsrdi.-n on the counties "aud iv assuming th::t a spe "cial charge wiil be made for "county exhibits. No each order has "been made either by ma or tha exsou "tive committee, but a rata has bean infixed for floor spice which wiil be I 'charged to all exhibitors, whether th|y "come from Chicago, London, Mew York "or California. This has been the prac tice in all expositions in Europe and "this country. The chargo is not made "for the purpose of securing funds to "erect the buildings, or put tho grounds "in order, but simply to obtain funds "for maintenance. The cost of running "an exposition is necessarily very great. "Largo numbers of persons mutt bo em "ployed in various capacities. The "buildings must be lighted. An effect "ive fire department must be mam" tamed. The exhibita must be closely "watched by a corps of police. The "cleaning of buildings and grounds must "be thorough. These and uumcrous.ex "penditures for all purposes will require "a large sum of money, a portion only "of which will be contributed by the ex "hibitors. In fact the small amount ex "acted for space can hardly be rogardsd "as rent, it is merely a charge for care "taking and insurance against tire and "robbery." WHY NOT INCREASE THE CIRCULATION? It 13 natural, we confess, under the circumstances, to take a deepjndent view of the practicability of any meas ures of reliof for the pcopla. The most urgent need of the country just now is a considerable expansion of the currency The next is replacing the old national domain by a better one, which the irri gatod laoda cau readily be made by proper expenditures upon the part o the government of the United States Soma time ago the lli:i;.u.i> suggested editorially that an excellent plan to re lieve the money stringency, at least in part, would be to issue a special cur rency to be used in developing the facil ities for irrigation on the arid land*, this currency to bs legal tendsr for all pur poses, and to have the special property of being receivable for these arid lands when improved and in shape for settle ment. Such a currency would have a! thu ordinary legal tender qualities and would, besides, become specially desir able from its use in baying these lands. When paid in, if thought advisable by tho government, tbis currency could be cancelled. Heie is a plan which would add largely to tho per capita of our eir dilation and through which the govern ment would actually make money. The Stockton Mail of tho 3d inst. had tbe following remarks apropos of our suggestion: Tbe Loa Angelea HIRALU proposes that tho government shall reclaim ite arid lends by means of paper money istued for the purpose, which money shall be receivable in payment for the lands subsequently by settlers. What objection could there be to such a sciiems? None. Nevertheless tbe gov ernment will not do it. If the arid lands are ever reclaimed it will be through the sale of interest-bearing bonds, which will be a burden upon the people and a benefit to the moneyed class. Meantime tho army cf the un employed will continue, and there will seem nowhere any bairn iv Giie.-.d. Why will not tbe government reclaim ita arid lands by tbe use of a special is sue of paper money, setting the idle to work and increasing its wealth, creat ing an abundance where now a lamine hjV Because the money interests ol the ccuntry would oppose it, and tho gov ernment does nothing tbat the money interests are against. The project would be opposed by the asses of the presa on the ground that it would drive uold out of the country. It it would but drive themselves and the gold lords With it, it would bo a good riddance. Wo are afraid tbat our contemporary is more (ban half right, but we think that the people are ripo for a wholesome change. The idea of holding up the United States, the youngest, strongest and wealthiest of tbe great nations of tho world as incapable of inaugurating a policy of its own is so supremely ridicu lous tbat even the snobs and monocrats will come to realize it in time. Mean while, Brother Mail, we can do our part in insisting upon the salutary change by the people, and American interests inal! their vast significance shall count for something. THE CHINESE LAWYERS. It is stated as a sort of excuse for the Chinese tailing to register that they were advissd by certain Ameiican law yers of high standing uot to do so. It is said that those lawyers advised the Six Companies, and through tbem tbe Chin ese generally, that the Geary act was unconstitutional and therefore ot no ef fect. The names of tbe aforesaid law yers ore given as Choate, Carter ami Asbton. It is incredible tbat an Amer ican lawyer in good repute should ad vise any person, or class of persons, to disobey a solemn law of the United Stater, and we decline to believe that tbe learned attorneys named did so ad vise in this instance. In doing so they would certainly have violated their oath of office and have disregarded their firat obligations as attorneys, which is, to uphold tbe law. If these lawyers have vouchsafed the advice that is attributed to tbem they ought to bo matily enough to avow tbis fact and take the conse quences, whatever they racy be. What the attorneys mentioned piobably did was to given an opinion - for a very large fee —that they could have the Geary law declared unconstitutional by tbe su preme eoui't. It is not to be believed that they etlvised a total dieregard ol the law be.'ore it was passed upon by tbe couit. Tha deportation of lawyers guilty of imparting such advice would hardly be adequate punishment, and the giving o: such advice vt&uid consti tute no excuse in law to persons violat ing the law. The great b?dy of Chinese laborers on tbis coast, at the very beet, stand out as open contemners of our laws and should he treated as tuch, notwithstanding any opinions that may have been rendered by welt paid attorneys, against tne va lidity cf Bitch laws. The real advice in the case undoubt edly came from the Chinese Six Compa nies, who aiu the masters, and we may add without much fear cf successful contradiction, the owners of the Chi- Leee laboring classes ia this country. Kegistration would not have interfered with the plans ot any lawyers, pAid or unpaid, but registration wouldixiave most seriously interfered with thelmug LOS ANGELES TTERALD: SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER ?. 1&93 gling operation* cf the said Six Compa nies, by which thousands upon thou sands ol laborers have been brought across onr borders in violation of the cxclosion acts. There is tbe gall that caused the jtde to wince. The Geary act was intended to put a stop to this smuggling buriness; hence tho hercu lean efforts made to override it. A statement of the case as it row stands may be as follows : II Ihe ex clusion actß were proper tbe Geary act is equally so. If it is desirable lo keep Chinese laborers away it is equally de sirable to get rid ot those now here, g to pet rid of them is desirable it is de sirable to get rid of them lE a lawful way, end that, way is provided in the law as It now staudr. In doing this now no law is violated, and no cow law is required to accomplish a most desir able objec'.
