Now let ua all pull together.
The elimination of politics from the
affairs of tbe community affords ample
eisure for prayers for rain.
Our Methodist brethren should re
member tbat "Charity coveretb a mul
titude of sins," including dancing at a
charity ball.
How many Democrats voted for
Boss Otic' oandidate? We would like
to get the list, "not necessarily for pub
lication, but as a guarantee of good

All that ia required to complete a
competing railroad through tbe Ban
Joaquin valley, from San Francieco to
Freano, is $350,000. Tbe (act tbat this
amount bus not yet been subscribed fs
fairly good evidence tbat San Francisco
is not anxious to ontrol or even share
tbe trade of that section. It is about
time for Los Angeles to make a mayo in
this direction.
The effects of the indecency of tbe
Times during the gubernatorial canvass
are still operating. Yesterday morning
tbat "family journal" made another de
fense ol its obscene attack on James H.
Budd. Tbe Ban Francisco Poßt, out of
whose columns the tilth was scooped,
has not yet apologized, end Dan Bums,
who inspired tbe foul Blenders, is "too
sick" to brazen out his lies. The Times,
Post and Dsn Burns are a trio ol dirty
birds.
The situation in China, involving, aa
it does, an imminent danger to ths lives
of Americans at the hands of a brutal
and irresponsible populace, is an excel
lent opportunity to te?t the availability
of onr new navy. We iiave already
demonstrated that our cruisers and bat
tleships are swift in flight and invinci
ble in ebara battles; now let us bob
what they can do in tbe protection of
our interests abroad. China just now
offers ns a good chancs to show our met
tle and, if need be. our teeth.
Judge J, A. Waymire of Alamada ia
making an active canvass for the speak
ership of tbe next, assembly. Ttie do
lire to preside over the assembly is a
peculiar ambition and one that "pnzeles
the will" of ordinary mortals. What
"honor" attaches to the office is beyond
tbe comprehension ol men who have
never aspired to such empty preferment
and "still the wonder Rrow i" wheu "an
upright judge" like Waymire seeks "a
bubble reputation" that is only witiiiu
tbe gift of Bofs Burns.
Governou-kijEcr Buod intimates that
he may appoint women on some of the
state commissions and boards of etate
Institutions. Only tho politi
cians will object to this innovation.
Women have as much ordinary sense ns
men ; they are as capable in tho admin
istration cf some affairs as men, and
tbere can be no doubt of their honesty
os a class or a sex. We only hope that
Mr. Budd will not "honor" any of then:
with oommissionß in the militia. The
timale c.ilonel and the brigadier general
in petticuatp are unspeakable.
There saema to be but orto method of
redress against the hoodiurjiieni of uni
versity students—castigation of the stu
dents by the newspapers. Recent row
dyism in San Francisoo by the students
Lf Berkeley and Palo Alto, involving a
shooting affray and eundry barroom
brawls, has called attention to tho fact
that tbe police are no protection aoiuat
these callow Baehi-Bazouks. These
Kurds of "the el'tssic shades" wero per
mitted to harry the xVmericuns of the
tenderloin district and insult ttte re
spectable citizans of other sec'ions with
out protest, and their drunken yells
resounded nightly, for a seaeon, through
out the town, It is not likely that the ]
faculties of either college will take ac
tiou, or that any of these academic
Bwaehbuoklera will be called to account.
A very effective method of dealing with
university hoodlums would be a general

THEY ARE IN THE SADDLE.
It is tbo privilege of the minority to
j suggest end urge upon the majority
! measures that may tend to beneficial
: results in the government of life com
munity. The Republicans are at pres
ent decidedly in the mtjority in this
city. Their power for good or evil is
| only limited by the law, and if they see
| tit to trespass those limitations no
1 greater harm would befall them as a
party organization tban defeat at some
j future olection after the people had
I become disgusted witb the iniquity of
1 their course.
■ The Republican nr.rtv. through its
: leaders, is pledged to certain measures
iof reform and improvement which, if
i carried out faithfully and honeUly, will
;go far towards reconciling tbe defeated
minority to the result. Among the most
important and immediate of these
measures is the municipal ownership
and control of the water supply. If
.t— —:,_ t T . , ■_ ...t.J

with control of the water supply within
the next two years it will be compelled
to submit to ono of tbe most oppressive
and obnoxious monopolies on the la
Ciflfl coast. Water ia almost as necee
eary to human existence as the air we
breathe. If the atmosphere could be
rcservoired and metered a corporation
would immediately organize to monopo
lize every cubic foot witbin tbeir juris
diction, with an option on tbe supply of
outlying districts. Everything else is
monopolized to a greater or less degree
—light, heat, power, food, aud in come
instances the right to exist. Just now
the people of Los Angeles are particu
larly anxious to free themselves from
the monopoly of a water company aod
to prevent the possibility of future op
pression in this direction. Tbe Repub
lican party now in power can materi
ally assist in this "consummation de
voutly to be wished." Will they re
spond, not to the suggestion of the
minority, but to tbe demande of tbe
whole people ?
The improvement of the atreeta ia a
matter that will require immediate and
conetant attention. The thoroughfares
of the city are in fairly good condition
where they have been bitumenized and
our avenuee properly macadamized, but
there aro many milea of etreets that are
little better than cow trails or the by
lanes of a country village. The street
department neede a thorough overhaul
ing and a complete reformation, alter
whicb ihe administration must givo its
personal attention through the mayor
to the condition of the streets end side
walks of the oity. Oan we depend on
the gentlemen now in power to attend
to thie matter?
It is also demanded that intra-mural
franchises of every character eball be
guarded with more care tban bas been
tbe custom heretofore. The streets of
the city, above and below tbe surface,
belong to the people In community in
terest. It is execrable pubiic policy to
give or barter tbia domain without con
sulting the general welfare or in opposi
tion to deoided popular protost. The
city of ban Francisco is an example in
point. Ail the important streets of tbat
city are gridironed with Southern Pacific j
rail wave. Tbe driveways leading to tbe
entrance ol Golden Gate park are ob
structed by the monopoly's car tracks.
The passenger traffic of the metropolis
is controlled by a gigantic Bystem, ut
terly defiant of the people's rights and
co well entrenched in ita position
that no power save an unlawful
uprising of the people can dislodge it.
And for these autocratic and unassail
able privileges the Southern Pacific !
corporation paid not one cent to the
people from whom they were wrested.
The Republican party of Loa Angeles,
now in power, cannot afford to give this
city over to the control of corporations
without adequate compensation and
under such restrictions end limitations
Ri shall render the monopoly interests
subservient to tho people instead of
giving thsm despotic mastery. Is the
Republican administration prepared to
act ou this demand of the people ?
The city parks must be improved.
Klysinn park must be mide fit to ac
commodate the people of Los Angeles.
It was tbe design tiiat this tract should
be converted into a pleasure
grennd for the people of tlio city.
Other cities with none of the advan
tages ol climate or soil po3aassei by l.os
Angelei, have provided with lavish dis
regard of expenditure, acting on tlio
public-spirited principle that whatever
is for the people's health and pleasure
is not an extravagance at any cost. It ;
is incumbent on this Republican ad -
ministration that nn efficient, active and
jildioiOUß park commission should tie
appointed, and that tbe work of Ibis
oommiesion should be prosecuted un
ceasingly until Los Angeles citn point
wilh proper prido to ths result of their
Übore. Will the Ropubiican adminis
tration attend to this matter —sueedily?
These are a few of the sugeestions ot
the minority. We consider that they
aro worthy o* consideration by Mayor
elect Ruder and his colleagues. Do we
presume too far ou our prerogatives as
a minority or too much on the patience
of the majority ?
THE NEW ZEALAND PLAN.
In New Zetland railways have been
controlled and operated by the provin
cial government fur many yeara, and tbe
renulta aro eminently satisfactory. The
Sacramento Bee, quoting from tbe New
Zealand Official Year Book for 1894,
ehowa that up to 1870 there were in
operation only 40 miles of railway in
that country. There are now open to
t mili3 1918 miles of railway, the con
struction of which has cost about $37,-
"LOS" ANGELES HER ALP: WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 5, 1894
I 000.80 a mile. Thia includes the expen
j diture on the provincial government
linea and tha purchase money paid for
diatrict railways built by local syndi
cates and taken over by the govern
ment; also the cost of rolling stock and
equipments.
Tbe large mileage of railway in pro-
I portion to population, tbe locality of
; tbe latter along tbe coast mainly, tbe
j active competition of water carriage, tho
j very short distances over whicb traffic
joan be carried, the importation by sea
'. of tbe great proportion of msicantile
product-' which are used by the inhob-
I Hants, the extension of thu railwayß ia
-1 land to mountains and pastoral diatriots
j almost devoid of settlement, together
form sncb a combination of circum
i stances adverse to tba railway system
j aa probably baa no parallel in any other
: country. The imposition of rates for
j carriage haa also to be largely guided by
! the peculiar oiroumatances attending
colonial settlement.
i These 1948 miles of railway produced
a gross annual revenue of £1,172,793
I I (15676,318.12), the net revenue being
i ! £137,43-1 ($2,117,180.56), "equal to a
f ! dividend of £2 17s 9d per cent on the
| total cost of all opened lines to that
i date."
The working expeneea of tbe lines for
the year ending March 31, 1894,
amounted to £735,359, absorbing 62.7
per cent of the receipts; bnt as tne
cast of improvements in renewing rails
| and in reconstructing rolling slock and
j mors permanent structures is borne by
i working expenses, they are thus made
to appear heavier than they would oth
erwise do.
For the past year the tonnage of the
prinoipal products was wool, 101,340
tons; timber and firewood, 267,850 tons ;
grain, 411,191 tons; minerals, 864,538
tone. Tbe receipts from paeaenger traf
fic were £402,011), including season tick -
eta, £13 540.
The average revenue per mile of rail
way, was £619, 3s 2d, and the average
expenditure £384. 9n 3d a train mile,
respectively. Perhaps the cost of main
tenance per mile for tbe last year was
£140 3s (3d.
The passenger fares are generally at
tbe rate of 2 i .,d (5 cents) per mile
first class, and l-jd (34 cents) per
mile second class; tbe return fares cal
culated at one-third Increase on these
rates. For suburban and local traffic,
however, the ratea are much lower, in
some cases of commutation tickets be
ing as low as 7 „d (1 3 4 cents) first
class, and 'jd (1 cent) second class per
mile.
The estimated population of New
Zealand ie 676,749, only abonl twice as
many people ac there are in the city of
San Francisco alone. There are 2.88
miles of railway in New Zealand open
to each 1000 of population. Of the pop
ulation of New Zealand, 41,993 are
Maoris and 4044 Chinese.
The rata* of wages «r* as follows:
Farm laborers, 4s 6d to 8s per day, with
out board; plowmen, from 7s to 10s,
ditto; reapers from Bsto 10s; ehepherde,
with board, per annum, from £40 to £85;
sheep shearers, with board, per 100
sheep, from 15s to 20s; bricklayers, from
7s to 10a per day, without board; car
penters, painters, plumbers, wheel
wrights, plasterers, masons, from 8i to
10s; general laborers, 5s to Ba.
From $2 to $2.50 a day is not bad
I wages for the artisans named, and 5s to
j Bs, ($1.25 to $2 per dny) for common la
i borera is as high a rate of wages bb paid
j in California.
Tbe estimated annual oost of living
! per bead in New Zealand ia £35 83 Id,
jas compared witb £22 16a 2d in the
' United Statea.
I Under all these circomstancee it would
I not aeem utterly impracticable for tbe
people of Southern California to build
200 miles of railway from Los Angelea to
the San Joaquin valley to compete witb
the Southern Pacific monopoly and di
vert the trade of Central California to
ita natural cutlet through this city over
! competing transcontinental linee or by
water from San Pedro,
Loa Angelea is tbe natural metropolis
of Southern California nnd can become
the actural metropolis of California if it
will undertake to parallel the Southern

of which is directed to San Francieco
only by force of circumstances over

It is not a question of what Pasadena

BAY CITY ELECTION FRAUDS.
Their Real Extent Becoming
Apparent.
A Register Sniffer Makes a Full
Confession.
lostanesa of Glaring Fraud Brought to
Light— Warrants fur tha Ar
rest of Klsctlon
O fears.
By the Associated Press.
6an Francisco, Dec, 4. —The real ex
tent of the recent election frauda in thia
city is becoming apparent. In tbe in
vestigation helore Judge Wallace this
morning, Adolph Cut mart, a dry gooda
; clerk who livea on Clara etreet, made a
< clean confeseion of hia complicity in Ihe
j fraudulent registration scheme in which
1 the Baldwin hotel is involvsd. Cutman
! testified that he was prevailed upon to
j illegally register from the Baldwin, by
j one Steinberg, who was tben employed
as a city deputy registrar of electors,
j After several interviewa with Steinberg
he finally consented to register, it
being nnderstood tbat be was to vote
for Mahonoy for state senator. He was
given a key to a room in the hotel, but
never elept tbere. Steinberg told him
others were registering in the aame
manner, and assured him ho would get
into no troubie. When the fraud waa
finally exposed, Steinberg and "Fat"
Jack O'Connor, wbo ia a bailiff in one of
the police courta, came to him, with
others, and be waa paid money to leave
the city.
The prosecution promised that other
witnesses would give similar testi
mony.
Before the election commissioners this
morning, other instances of glaring
trand were brought out. In eoveral
precincts where fraud has been clearly
praoliced, tbe precinct election officers
have refused to sign the returns or sat
isfactorily explain before the commis
sioners. Acting on hshalf of the elec
tion commissioners, Mayor Ellert today
swore out warrants for tbe arrest of the
election officers of the Sixteenth pre
cinct of the Thirty-first district. He
was also authorized to cause the arrest
of other officials who have refuaed to do
tbeir duty.
There are many precinot officials who
have refused to sign the returns they
bave sent in, and consequently the com
missioners are unable to canvass the
vote. It is hinted this may be a scheme
to throw out a great many precinots in
which has been given a majority for
Budd for governor. Under the law,
however, it is a penal offense to refuse
to do the duty demanded.
AFTER JUDGE VOFFII.
Attorney Horaoa Philbrook Files An
other Sansatloaal Briar.
San Francisco, Dec. 4. —Attorney
Horace Pbilbrook, who recently, in
a brief filed in the supreme court,
accused Supreme Court Juatioe Harri
son with fraud is now after Jud™**
Coffey, judge of tbe probate court. In
a brief filed with the eupreme court, in
the l.evineon estate oaae, Philbrook ap
peals from tbe decision of Judge Coffey
settling tbe acccunt of James Goodwin,
administrator of tbe Levinson estate.
Philbrook protests against the allow
once of fees to the law firm of Henley &
Mac Sherry and saya:
"The conduct uf tbe judge below waa
one of the worst exhibitions of großa
partiality that could be imagined. It is
submitted tbat in tbe conduct of tbe
judge below, tbe trial allowed waa only
a mockery; that the judge below was
determined to allow a lee to Henley &
Mac Sherry and to allow respondents the
sums that were allowed, despite tbe
proofs."
Tbe brief also accuses Henley & Mac-
Sherry of treachery to the Levinaon ea
tata and concludes:
"How could there possibly be a fouler
disgrace to tbe adminiatration of jua
tice?"

CPOPS AND WEATHER.
Director Barwlak'a It-part for tha Month
of November.
Sackamento, l)eo. 4. —Direotor Bar
wick, in bia moathlr crop raport for No*
vsmbar, summarizes tba weather and
orop coaditiona aa follows:
Tha average temperature for tba
month waa for San Franoiseo, 60 de
grees; Eureka, 50; Red Bluff, 60;
Sacramento, 58; Fresno, 65; San Luis
Obispo, CO; Loa Angeles, 00, and San
Diego, 00. As compared with tbe nor
mal temperature there ia an excess of
heat reported, at San Franoiaeo ef 4 de
grees; Red Bluff, 8; Sacramento, 5;
Freano, 3, while normal temperature
prevailed at Loa Angelea and Han Diego.
It will be noticed that the average tem
perature for Red Bluff is the same as at
Los Angelea aod San Diego, notwith
standing tbe hundreds of miles farther
north Red Bluff is from the other points
mentioned.
Tbe total preolpitation waa as follows:
San Francisco. .00 of an inch; Kareka,
1.90 inches; Rsd Bluff, 1 inch; Sacra
mento, ,4S of an inch; Freeno, .30 of an
inch; San Luis Obispo, .30; Los Ange
les and San Diego nothing. As com
pared with the normal precipitation, a
deficiency is reported from all portions
ol the state, there being a deficiency at
San Francisco of 1.89 inchea; Eureka,
.05 of anincb; Red Bluff, 2.15 inches;
Sacramento, 1.50 inches; .87 of an inch
at Fresno ; 1.48 incbee at Los Angeles,
and .84 of an inch at San Diego.
This excess of beat in tbe interior of
tbe state has given the very best kind of
weather that conld ba desired for the
closing of tbe raisin and fruit-drying
season, but tbe great deficiency in the
rainiall has been very detrimental to
the grass and grain that waa so very
nicely started by tbe early raine in Sep
tember and October, bat the generous
showers whioh fell on the 20tb aad 27th
ol this month did great good In Central
California, bnt did no good in the lower
end of the San Joaquin valley, where
only about .02 of an inch was measured.
The frosts of tbe month appear to
bave visited all portions of tbe state,
but no damage was done, except to a
few tomato and cucumber vines in Ala
meda county, and tbe killing of the low
laud rice crop at the agricultural experi
ment station near Bakersfield, Kern
county.
URB. HUN TICK'S LEGACY,
She Got« the Tf hole of Hor Hatband*
51,000,000 SCltate..
San Francisco, Dec. 4.—Superior
Judge Seawall rendered a decision to
day which gives to Mrs. Jean N. Ch
Hunter the whole of her deeeaeed hus
band's $1,000,000 estate. Some yeara
ago when David Hunter commenced
straightening out his affairs preparatory
to the inevitable, be and Mrs. Hunter
eaoh made wills, each naming the other
as sole lesatee.
In 1889 Hunter came to the conclusion,
in view of the numerous will contests
whicb bad been before the courts, tbat
bia affairs could be settled in a more
satisfactory way, so as to avoid litiga
tion. He conveyed all of bis property
to ber, and she executed a deed oonvey
ing ail her property to him. They went
through tbe form of delivery, but it
was intenoed and understood that
neither deed should take effect till the
death of the maker.
In 1893 Mrs. Hunter became very ill
and her life was despaired of. Attorney
Tliden. tbe custodian of the deeds, sur
rendered them to Mr. Hunter aad be
destroyed tbe one by whicb be conveyed
tbe property to his wife. Hunter then
exeonted tbe will in which he named
Tilden & Tilden as his exeontors. A
couple of months later Mr. Hunter died
and Mrs. Hunter recovered. The execu
torn sought to take possession cf the
property, but Mrs. Hunter resisted,
claiming it under the deed. The execu
tors maintained that the execution and
delivery deeds were merely formal and
not intended to convey the property,
but Judge Seawell holds that tbere was
a valid deed which was delivered and
that title passed.
