GIVE US DIRECT AND DECENT ROADS
One would hardly expect that parlia
mentary czar, Tom Reed of Maine, to be
interested in good roads, unless it be
those leading to the White House. But
this "magazine bimetallist and legislative
gold bug" as Congressman Bryan aptly
designates him, has been sufficiently in
terested to evolve souie very sensible
ideas regarding the subject. In an ad
dress before tbe students of a business
college of Philadelphia, treating of va
rious forms of wealth, he referred to
bignways and their importance, in the
following language:
"One of tbe greatest civilizers of the
world Is something we hardly think of,
either as a civilizer or as wealth—the com
mon country road. Few people ever
think how much roads cost us. They
represent tbe surplus labor of centuries.
*"fhey make possible the transfer of the
abundance of one rcgiou to supplement
tbe want oi another. And yet the modern
mad. crossing the country in all direc
tions, traversible by carriages and carts,
us well as beasts, does not go back to the
times of good Queen Bess. Indeed, in her
reign, thousands might starve and did
Starve in one county, while abundance
tilled tbe granaries of the others.
"Think of men and women and children
starving from mere lack of that form of
wealth which we call roads in the days
when Drake and the great captains were
scouring the seas in search of the Span
ish galleons and Spanish gold, and when
tbe military might of England hurled
back tbe Spanish armada and all the
power of the geatest nation on the face
of tbe globe. In the very heart of Lon
don, in tbe street named after the kin
himself, tbe only way one of the Ed
wards could get to his parliament was to
fill with great bunches of fagots the
boles in the streets."
There are some truths suggested in
these remarks that the people of Los An
geles county should take home and culti
vate the acquaintance of. This county
needs a more practical and better kept
system of roads, absolutely and imme
diately. To a large extent the produc
tiveness of our soil and the intelligently
applied energies o! our people are nulli
fied by tbe indirect and shockingly kept
route- they are obliged to take in getting
their products to market. The actual sav
ing in dollar and cents that would be
permitted with a system of highways
tbat rendered unnecessary long detours
from a reasonably direct line in jour
neying from point to point, and that al
lowed the attainment of a decent speed
without ruining the horseflesh, breaking
the wagon gear, or jolting one's teeth
out. would pay many times over for
scientifically laid out and decently main
tained roads. And to those owning land
in the country only as speculators and not
as users,the pecuniary value of direct and
decent roads .should be easily apparent.
Tbe price they will get for their holdings
largely depends on the ease and prompt
itude with which the intending in
vestor can be shown the property. S'oth
ing is so discouraging to a man coming
probably from some old and well kept
part of the east, as to be drawn in winter
through six to twelve inches of simon
pure slush or mud, and in summer be
yanked fiom one chuckhole into another.
Tbe prospect of having to experience this
■cries of vicissitudes as a regular thing,
should he buy a property thus located, is
enough to deter the most sanguine of cus
tomers, ff we are civilized people let us
have civilized ways from the city to the
farm.
THE REAL FUNCTION OF MONEY
There is a ileal of misunderstanding
. and dense ignorance concerning tbe im
portance of money. It is a common tiling
to hoar people talk about money as if it
were the ultimate object for whicli men
are striving. But it is not. Nobody
really works for money. The thing culled
money is simply a medium of exchange,
a convenience, of course, especially in
small transactions. People could live with
out money, but ihey could not live with
out the things for which money is ex
changed. Money is a measure of value;
but money itself has no value, except as
• means for tbe accomplishment of an
end. Gold and silver coins have intrinsic
value only in the metal, which is a value
independent of their money value, and
which would exist without the legal
tender quality imparted by legislation.
Merely as money no dollar can benetit a
man except by his parting with it. It is
not wealth, but is simply the repre
sentative of wealth. " Which is the*"more
important, a measure of value, or value
Itself? A repicscntative of wealth, or
wealth itself? A yardstick, or the cloth
Vhich the yardstick measures?
While a judicious system of finance
should be the aim of a civil government
it il ol luinoi importance compared with
the question of squelching gigantic mo
nopolies and giving labor tbe benefit of
unrestricted opportunities.
Editor Watson of the Redlands Cricket,
with tbe heroism characteristic of the
true journalist, bas gone to jail rather
than pay a fine imposed because he re
fused to pungle up for an outrageous busi
ness license. The sympathy of the fra
ternity be with him. Tbis particular kind
of license tax is the most pestiferous, un
just and impolitic of all tbe small
schemes devise J to make the earning of a
living difficult, and it should go in
stanter.
The next Paris exposition will have a
novelty even more remarkable than the
Eiffel tower. It will be a great hole in
tbe ground a mile long, or deep, just as
you may wish to express it. There will
be several stopping places or galleries in
tbe shaft, each of which will represent
some phase of life above the surface. It
is probable that the Parisians, realizing
the futility of attempting to reach heaven
after trying the tower, have decided to
strike ior the other place.
Our dispatches of yesterday announced
that the wages of 200 employees of the
Delaware iron works of Wilmington. Del
aware, had been advanced voluntarily, 10
percent. The employees were surprised.
It is natural they should lie. The last
twenty-live years has accustomed them to
the idea that tbe only time wages are dis
turbed is when they are reduced. We
would suggest that what our Republican
friends term the "Gorman free trade"
tariff measure is still in force.
From May loth to May 30th the metrop
lis of the Pacific coast is to dispense with
electric and gas lighting for its streets,
and trust to the moon. This return to
aboriginal illumination should materially
assist the project of the Half Million
club. The latter can certainly influence
the outside barbarians to flock to a city
so cheaply and reliably lighted.
The sale of Coin bas been so enormous
that Mr. Harvey, its author, is making
from $400 to jiiOO a day. This shows
pretty clearly what the people in tbe
country think about tbe currency. — New
York World.
It also shows pretty clearly that ;he
late P. T. Barnura knew what he was
talking about when he said. "The greater
the humbug, the better the American
people like it.
HUSICAL NOTES
Tlie big organ for the Simpson church
has come, has been heard, and is cer
tainly better in most respects than any
other organ in the city.
Whether it is the acoustics or the rela
tive size of house and organ it is hard to
tell, but for some reason its upper tones
sound thin; they are sweet, however.
Its middle and lower tones are mellow
and rich, and the harmony and power of
the full chorus is beautiful, yet there is
no irresistible magnetism about the in
strument that takes hold of one and cur
ries him out. of himself.
Mr. Stewart's performances were ex
re] tionally tine,his management of stops,
his pedaling and his whole handling was
piasterly. In the Mendelssohn F minor
sonata some of the best work of the even
ing was done, especially in the last two
movements. Of the two numbers by
Dubois, a Cantilena and a Toccata, the
latter received dainty treatment, and the
former was melodiously sweet.
Far away the gem of the whole even
ing, however, was the Bach fantasia and
fugue. In it Mr. Stewart showed what
theie was in him and in tbe organ too.
His pedaling was superb, and the waiving
and unweaving of the various themes was
kept most admirably and distinctly in
evidence.
The Beethoven andante with variations
was read with a simple dignity that
makes it the powerful composition it is.
and the A major polonaise by Chopin re
ceived brilliant treatment. When Mr.
Stewart entered > play Gounod's process
ional march, The last on the pro
gramme, he must have been charmed to
see the general movement by a large per
centage of the audience toward the doors,
and the remainder sat and were walked
Upon and over by the impatient ones.
Of the vocal music. Mr. and Mrs.
Modini Wood, Mrs. Kempton and Dr.
Sender each contributed his and her
share. Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Wood have
ever sung better here than they did last
night, and Mrs. Wood's tirst solo, the de
licious Intemezzo from Cavalleria Rusti
cana. accompanied by Mrs. Larrahce with
tbe piano, Mr. Stewart, the organist. Mr.
Lowinsky, violin, and Mr. Bierlich, cello,
was so beautiful that a Moral crown of
yellow marguerites was presente I and an
encore w:is demanded, when she sang
Heauty's Eyes, by Tosti.
Mr. Wood's solo was Heaven and Earth
by Piusuti. tor which Mr. Lowinsky
played a Violin obligato. A duet by Mr.
and Mrs. Wood. Millet's FA Van, was also
encored, as was Costa's Sad Moments
of Parting, a quartette, sung by Mes
damea Wood and Kempton, Mr." Wood
and Dr. Semler.
Tbe audience was large and more
demonstrative for the vocal than the in
strumental numbers, and tho church was
decorated with Ivy and cut Mowers. •

AHUSEHENTS
ORPHEUM.—Tbo house was packed to
the doors, every loge und b I was filled,
and a fringe of standing but widely sinn
ing eentlcmen ornamented the rear wall
Monday night for Aluldoon's Picnic. Not
chat the standing contingent were the
only ones who smiled; the whole house
was in a roar most of the time. There
wat very liitle picnic about it, but there
was a great deal of Muldoon and more of
MuJcahey. ond that is all that is neces
sary when they are in the clever bunds
of Tom Nawn and Johnny Hay. They
are so entirely different that they make
excellent foils for each other, and yet
botli are extremely good. Nawn is the
quiet, self-contained Irishman with gen
tlemanly Instincts, a rich but hot over
whelming b'ogue. and a tendency to light
that is held down ly sheer force of will.
Hay's irlsbman, on the contrary, is the
lurid, aguressive kind, with a bas
ketful of chips on either shoul
der, and a make-up and gait
that are infectious and irresistible. llis
brogue was dry and unctuous and
his facial expression us good in Its way as
Mr. Nawirs—more cannot be said for it.
The picnic was cither an afterthought, or
else wus forgotten early and remembered
late. Everything happens in and about
Michael Muldoon*s residence, and there
is very little of the time that something
isn't happening. Tbe skating act be
tween Muldoon and Mulcahy was
screamingly funny and tlie hit of the
evening. of thu other business was
new, original and clever, and the rest of
the people played around Nawn und Kay
with considerable success. The Hinns
and limns introduced their clever mu
sical skit,ami Mr. Stuart sang a number of
soiil's With the same success that attended
bis efforts last week. Mr. John E. Drew
also sang and did some double shuffles
and breakdowns, and Flynn ami Meßride
gave a song and dance. The Picnic runs
all the week and Saturday matinee.
Rellly and Wood's spectacular extrav
aganza "Hades Up to Date 1 ' is undef
ined for next week.

ECHOES FROM LA FIESTA
The Director General Submits a
Statement
PRONOUNCED A SUCCESS
Direct and Indirect Results of Great
Good
Shall the Next Oreat Festival Be Held Under
the Auspices of the Merchants'
Association
Max Meyberg, as director general of La
Fiesta, bas prepared and submitted to the
directors of tlie Merchants' association
a statement of the expenditures incurred
in the recently held festival, a copy of
which is here given.
LOS ANGELES, May 14, 1895.
To the Directors of the Merchants' As
sciation:—lt gives me pleasure to present
to your body today a synopsis of ex
penses of our late festival, tabulated in
systematic order. It will give you a clear
idea of the expenditures. Included in
these expenses are the material and labor
for the construction of the seats which
were sold to the public during the proces
sions, amounting to $5704.73; also, gaso
line reflector for illuminating the floats,
1044.92; total. (6840 «5.
These properties are safely stored, and
with comparatively little "cost can be
used again at future celebrations.
I now take the opportunity to point out
some facts whicli in my opinion should
be of great sitisfaction to you.
The festival given practically by the
merchants of Los Angeles, and under
your supervision, has been a suc
cess as a financial proposit on. R.inging
to our city, according to conservative es
timates, no less than .'IS.OOO to 40,000 visi
tors during the festival week, who left
with us at least $600,000, which bas been
distributed among a great number of our
citizens. It has given Los Angeles a rep
utation for enterprise ami push which
cannot be paid for. The advertisements,
through newspapers, throughout the en
tire United States, giving a glowing de
scription of our festival, will draw atten
tion to our city, which is invaluable, and
its good effects should henceforth be
taken advantage of by our citizens. The
expenses, abrogating 181.000, have been
distributed in our city among all classes,
and one particularly' gratifying item is
that labor has received the greatest bene
fit.
A total of $12,606.46 lias been paid for
labor directly; indirectly, to $3000
more.
Another noteworthy fact should instill
pride Into the hearts of our community.
I refer to the concerts given under your
supervision. As an object lesson of poa
sibilities for this city none can demon
strate more forcibly that this city can be
made the center of music and art: that
with proper assistance our future attrac
tions as a city should proclaim to the
world that in this city civilization can
tind all that makes life agreeable and in
structive. Wo k can supplement nature,
wbich has given us a climate unsurpased
in the worid, with such attractions which
will bring to us a large class of people
who will make this city their home for
such reasons only. The commencement
is made; we have brought together our
music-loving citizens; they should com
bine and form one great musical society,
if necessary under your protection,which
could be made sell-sustaining through a
series of concerts.
The Hower procession which was a rev
elation to us all, will stimulate the love
and cultivation of particular Mowers suit
able for such purposes, thus making this
pari, of our celebration the principa 1
feature* We must not forget that we
have in this particular sentiment the en
tiro state as competitor next year and it
is therefore necessry for our citizens to
form ideas early and thus individually
assist in upholding the blub standard of
excellence of our attractive parade.
The main issue before you must be your
outspoken sentiment us to whether* the
next La Fiesta shall he held under your
auspices or not.. I call attention to this
adviseuly, for the reason that it must
now be understood who will undertake
the task. If you should decide not to do
so. it would be just courtt sy to call v
meeting and allow the citizens to decide
what notion is necessary to perpetuate
La Fiesta de Los Angeles. To drop our
celebration would be a crime to all who
love this city, who delight in the knowl
edge that we have received the plaudits
of visitors, who are impressed not alone
with the excellent character of our cele
bration, but also witn the magnilicent be
havior ot our citizens on occasions when
rowdyism could have been expected. It
placed our citizens on a high level of in
telligence and good common sense, pro
ving to tbe world that I.os Angeles is an
ideal city.
In conclusion I thank you all for the
confidence you have reposed in me and
for tho pleasant manner of sustaining my
efforts to make La Fiesta de Los AngeUs
the succ(ss it has been.
In behalf of my successor, should you
decide to conduct tbe Fiesta of IMO and
appoint a director general. I respectfully
urge you to make such appointment as
soon as practicable, an early choice being
absolutely necessary. As a novice he
must have time to think and lay out his
plans for future action.
With best A-ishes for the successful con
tinuanoe of La Fiesta de Los Angeles, I
remain yours truly,
MAX MEYBERG,
Director General.

THE ALEX DOCTER CASE
Finally Goes to Trial—Detective Bosqui
Testifies
The Defense Is Using Every Means to
Clear the Former Popular Young
Salesman
The noted Alex Docter case has finally
come to the superior court. Tbe details
of Docter's escapade are still fresh in the
minds of all; how he took 13600 of Moso
Gunst's money and skipped to New York
with a fair damsel of this city and was
there apprehended through the efforts of
Detective Bosqui and finally returned
here. Then he told a very nice fairy
story of now he had been to Paris with
his charmer and rolled them high in that
city noted for high rollers, which story
was all taken as the truth by those not on
the inside, but the plain facts will likely
leak out yet, as tho case progresses.
Several witnesses were examined yestar
day, the principal ones being Datective
Bosqui and Mose Ounst, and M. L.
Polaski. It seems that Docter still lias a
very decided pull, as the detective testi
fied that Docter and his friends had bim
fired from the police force of this city.
Just what effect that pull may bave re
mains to be seen In the result of the
trial. The jury iv the case is composed
of George il. Frost, Charles H. Gardiner,
James F. Banning, B. E. Koyce, James
Loosemore, W. Ij. Dalton, W. H. Carv,
J. O. Lamb, Thomas H. Abbott, P. \V.
Partridge, Frank Uerliner and C. I. Mc-
Intyre.
The case will be resumed this morning
at lv o'clock.
Ladles' Night at the Y. M. C. A.
Last night was ladies' night at the Y.
M. C. A. gymnasium, and the usual
large audience was present. Professor
Bessing led Lis class in the dumbbell
drill, after ■which smafl groups were
formed for special work.
Mr. C. Mader gave an exhibition of In
dian club swinging that was loudly ap
plauded; J. MurEetta and \Y. Mader had
a wrestling mutch In which tbere were
some very good throws, and after choos
ing sides the class had lively game of
basket ball. A little individual work on
the part of tbe members followed.

There was another pleasant progressive
euchre party at the Hotel Bamona last
