Write the Truth as you see tt» Fight the Wrong as you find it: Pab llsh aril the News, and Trust the Brent to the Judgment of thePeonla WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 1890. Dr. Jameson is said to be bored by notoriety. A short time since and he was Tery nearly Boered to extinction. Mb. Bayard lias received no official notification of the censure resolution, as strangely enough no provision for notify ing him was included in the resolution. He therefore prudently takes no notice of it, but he probably does know in what light tho present congress is regarded throughout tbe country. On that score ha Deeds no official information. Sturdy old John M. Palmer is a grateful exception to his bloviating colleagues in the senate, in that lie keeps honest com mon sense always on tap. Interviewed about Cuba, he said: "It ia none of our blanked business. Sentimentally, I am in sympathy with the struggling Cubans, but practically it is not our business to interiors. Thi constitu tion provides that the president shall handle such matters, and he is entirely competent to do so without any coaching from congress.. Peace cometli again to the sun-kissel land of Arizoua. "Fin-head" Hughe* will, after a few days, cease to be governor of the territory. The ceaseless warfare kept up against him has been effective and bo has either resigned or been removed. A t any rate the president has appointed his successor in the person of Hon. B. J. Franklin, who resided for a brief time in Los Angeles a few years since. The new appointee is a gentleman of high character and distinguished ability. It is doubtful if the presiiVnt could have made a better selection. The Herald hopes that under her new executive Arizona will continue her march on the highway of progress, and that with the incoming administration the harmony that for Borao reason seemed lacking during that of Governor Hughes, will be fully restored. By the time the national Republican convention meets that Ohio Republican platform will look as though it had been playing target in a shooting gallery. No political platform of recent years lias been more stimulative of criticism than this creation of Buckeye dodgers anil posers. Apropos of the grandiloquent declaration it contains about American ships, the Springfield (Mass..) Republican, an inde pendent paper politically, gets in the fol lowing painful tin us!: "It (the party) stands for a commercial policy that will whiten every sea witli the sails of American vessels flying the American flag/ This is from the Ohio Republican platform, and is a fair exhibi tion of McKinley cheek. In 18li0 tit! per cent of the foreign trade was carried in American vessels flying the American ilae. In 1889, after nearly thirty years of this commercial policy which whitens the seas, etc., the percentage of foreign trade car ried in American ships was I t per cent. When the McKinley act was passed, in tensifying this commercial policy, the per centage fell to 12.5 per cent in 1801, to 12.3 in lH'.i-j and to 12.2 por cent in 18!) H. It evidently needs only a revival of this policy in its full measure to drive the American flag from the seas completely. Egtpt is possessed of about 7.000,000 people, and they are interesting apart from any consideration of personality or history. They ate interesting because they owe so much. The aggregate bonded indebtedness of the country is $500,000, --000, which means a per capita of $72.70. This debt will probably stay awhile, chiefly because it is to the interest of some people outside of Egypt to keep the country ow ing. The land tax runs all the way from a merely nominal sum to over $8 per acre, but averages $4.."Hi per acre. There are only 9000 .:quare miles of pro ductive land of an average value per acre of $115, while the bonded indebtedness noted is equivalent to $97.17 on each of these acres. And of course it is tbe pro ductive land that must be depended on to pay the expenses of Egypt's enormously extravagant government the interest on her debt and tho principal of the latter if it is to be paid at all. It will be surmised from these figures that Egypt is not owned much by Egyptians. The principal hold ers of her bonds are found in England, France, Germany and Italy. With 25,000 insurgent troops and 45, --000 Spanish soldiers meandering around the limited areas represented by Havana and Pinar del Rio provinces, and such is the situation in Cuba, according to late ad vices, something should "drap" pretty soon. The two bodies of soldiery oujht not to experience much difficulty in finding each other and having a real battle, some •hint they have not had since the rebellion opened. A great sigh of relief would go up from the American people if they could be told that an attempt had seriously been made by the insurgents to take Havana, or by the Spanish troops to take the insur gents. There are two ways of ending a war—quitting or fighting it out. The par ties to the Cuban conflict should adopt one or the other. This business of dodging each other on the island and blackguarding each other in the United States, makes the people of these latter feel fagged out. Be sides, if one side or the other would lick in Cuba, hostilities might cease in our senate. SOME FACTS IN THE CASE In pursuance of its work of informing the public here as to the falsehoods by which Mr. Huntington proposes to rob the people of Southern California of their har bor, The Hx£ALD desires to call attention toother false statements of Mr. Cortheil before the house committee. Among rea sons which this employe of Mr. Hunting ton cites to show why Port Los Angeles ia a more favorable location than San Pedro for the proposed protected harbor, he says: "The breakwater at San I'edro, upon what ever plan designed, whether a continuous breakwater or isolated, as proposed by two different United States boards, must necessarily be in the open ocean—that is. beyond the headland-exposed to the full force of the ocean waves." That, bear in mind, is the testimony of a hired witness. We will now see what the testimony of the live engineering experts of the I nited States, composing the board of say. It will be remembered that the chairman of this board was Col. William I. Craig hill, who is now the chief of tbe engineer ing force of the United States, and occu pies the highest position known to en gineering of this country. This board, after quoting on page (> of their report the meteorological records made by the gov ernment as to the course of winus and cur rents and the position of headlands, or page 7 of their report state: "It appears then that Santa Monica bay is entirely open to .he moderate down-coast or west winds which prevail during the greatei part of the year, and that it v also exposed to the dangerous winds and seas which occur during the win ter months, coming from the south and southwest. . . . San Pedro bay is pro tected by the highland of San Pedro hill from the prevailing down-coast wind. In ordinary weather the bay of San Pedro is quiet, and vessels lie safely at anchor and for the most part discharge cargo with lighters while the wind prevails. It is doubtless this eircumsuv cc which made this point the embaroadero of this part of the coast for the Mexican trade before California was acquired by the Americans. In more recent times the greater part of the commerce of this part of the country has also been transacted here. Formerly all the deep draft vessels from Australia and Puget Sound discharged cargoes ir this bay. . . . San I'edro bay is alsi protected to a groat extent from tho south west sea and wind by tho island of Santc Catalina. wh'ch lies about eighteen mile, off shore to the windward."' On page cigb of their report the same board say=-: "Th< board of engineers of JBOO reported tha the fore shore of San I'edro bay from Point Firmin to Point Lasuen is practica ble throughout its length for commercial use. . . . They selected as the best lo cation for a deep-water harbor the present anchorage ground on the westerly side of the bay under Point Firmin. since the pro tection of the shore, giving protection from the westerly winds and a shore point for the commencement of the breakwater, affords greater advantage for securing a protected anchorage than any other section of the hay. - ' Attention is called to the pages of the report upon which this refutation of the I orthell falsehood may be found for the benelii of our rep resentatives in Washington who will be depended upon to use this evidence when the time comes, and Tub Hkrald will again remind its readers that it is the evi dence of five disinterested engineering ex perts of the highest character, in favor of the people's harbor, as against tho hired engineer of Mr. Huntington on the othet j band. Another falsehood contained or : the second page of Mr. I orthell's report if las follows: "The holding ground for yes : sels is excellent in Santa Monica bay, the bottom being composed of clay, sand anc ' gravel, which have been proven to exist ; over tha entire area of the deep water bj j borings taken for the purpose of buildini ' the great ocean pier and from the piu driving record during the construction oi it. At San Pedro, as will be seen from exhibit B, above referred to, there are large rocky areas, as indicated by the kelp or seaweed shown on the chart."' For the benefit of our representatives in congress attention is invited to a complete answer to ! the foregoing statement with reference to . Santa Monica which the history of a recent ; storm affords at that port. During tbe pre | vailing high winds of some weeks ago, it j was a fact published by the newspapers ! here, and of which notice was at that time sent to our representatives in Washington, i that a large sailing vessel lying at anchor j at i'ort Los Angeles was so badly pounded by the waves and became in such a dan : gerous situation that one of the steamers ,of tiie Pacific Coast Steamship company, ' which happened at that time to bs lying at I the wharf, and a steam tug maintained by ! the Southern Paciiic at that point, were j compelled to tow this vessel out into open ! sea room where she would have the oppor j tunlty of avoiding the danger of being | beached. At the same time the Knoch Talbot, on ! its way up the coast, started to run into | Port Los Angeles, to avoid the storm, and j was warned to keep out, by those in charge, j with the statement that the vessel would be I surely wrecked if it attempted to enter up jon the anchorage ground at that point. At ; this very tims, three large vessels were rid ! ing at anchor in the outer anchorage at ; San Pedro, which will be the area of the | proposed deep-water harbor there, and j they rode through the storm safely, wlth ! out the least apprehension or sign of dan ger to them from any defect in the holding ground or from the southwest winds which were working this havoc at Port Los Ange les. Proof of these facts has been for warded to our representatives in congress, I and if they have not Received them and will apply to The Hkralh. it will see that they are furnished with them in any form ; desired for use before congress in opposing Mr. Huntington's effort to steal the peo ple's harbor. As to the statement above quoted, that at San I'edro there are large rocky areas in the proposed harbor, as in dicated by the seaweed shown upon the chart submitted by Mr. Cortheil, it may be said that there is at the present time, either in Senator White's possession or on tile before the senate committee oncommeice, affidavits of forty-five masters and cap tains of vessels who have sailed the south ern coast for from five to forty years, in which the character of the anchorage in the area of the proposed outer har bor at San Pedro is described as first class in every way and as fine a* any in the LOS ANGELES HERALD: WEDNESDAY APRIL 1, 1896. world. This matter, it will be remem bered was, on account of Hood's false tele gram to the senate committee criticising the holding ground at San Pedro, investi gated and proof offered upon It before the board of engineers of 1892, when they held their meeting at the chamber of com merce in this city, and on page 18 of their report the board says: "Some doubts have been expressed with regard to the charac ter of the holding ground at San Pedro, but after intelligent inquiries the board is sat isfied that it is as good in this location as in the others." Again, attention is called to the fact that this is the testimonyof five eminent and disinterested experts and known to the government as opposed to that of the hired engineer who could err more than 40 per cent in the statement of a distance of a little over twenty miles. For the information of our congressman, who may desire later to controvert the statement of Mr. Cortheil. it can be stated that in addition to the affidavits of ship captains referred to, he will find attached to the report of the board of engineers of 1802, a stenographic report of the testi mony which that board received from wit nesses before it upon this question of the holding ground. Can it be possible that representatives of the people will be silent and permit the rights of their constituents to be stolen by a conscienceless monopoly through the effect of such falsehoods as the foregoing, when the most absolute proof for the contradiction of these lies is in their possession? The Herald trusts that when this controversy is ended it shall not find it necessary to report such a neg lect of duty of any one of our representa tives in Washington. The city council became weary early yesterday. In view of the fact that the body spent the day previous canvassing election returns, its exhaustion was not altogether inexplicable. An election can vass is enough to give even a city council that "tired feeling. - ' Before the local fathers convene again Friday they will have ample opportunity to investigate the "Trust in Sin" that The Her\lv> uncov ered to them and the public Monday. The people are waiting to see and 1 H : Herald is anxious to print what the council ia | "going to do about it." The Poffer resolution calling for an in vestigation of the recent bond issues is of course only inspired and supported by demagogisra. Nobody of any consequence seriously believes that there is anything to investigate, and tbe time given to tho con sideration of the matter will be virtually wasted. But the resolution has at least one merit—it is about something domestic, and in the discussion that is bound to en sue the world-wandering minds of tbe sen- ate may I>3 brought home and some of the ; senators be made to realize that they have I a country of their own. One of the most startling incidents of 1 the contemporary political world is the j reformation of Tom Piatt of New York. The presumption that he has reformed is based on the horror he expresses at Me Kinley's methods of controlling delegates. I Tom must have been a very successful i teacher and Mac an apt scholar. ! Ax exchange forecasts for Czar Reed ; ' only second place on t'io St Louis ticket, j but professes not a little satisfaction at the thought that mayhap the old swashbuckler will get a chance to vent his spleen by ! cracking ins whip over the United States : senate. Verily he could not "put in a lick j amiss" there. THE POLITE WORLD There was a pleasant gathering of rep • resentative society people at Turnverein hall last night to enjoy another of the in formal dances, the series of which was in stituted early in the season. Arend's orchestra furnished the music, which was most thoroughly enjoyed, and this, with the excellent condition of the floor, made : the evening one of unusual pleasure, i Among those present v.ero Mr. and Mrs. ■Al Barker, Mr. and Mrs. Widney, Mr. and i Mrs. Willard Stimson.

Mrs. Metcalfe will leave Los Angeles on Saturday to make her permanent home in Kingman, Ariz., where har husband is ed itor and publisher of Our Mineral Wealth, the only paper of that city. The afternoon passed pleasantly at Mrs. Bowman's de lightful suburban home, varied with music and recitations by Misses Virginia and Mattie Bowman and Miss Cutler. The guests were: Mrs. Kebacca Spring, Mrs. S. A. McClees, Mrs. Burton Williamson, Mrs. < inra S. Brown, Mrs. Mary Bowman, Mrs. J. E. McMullin, Mrs. Benson, Mrs. Clark, Miss Ella (iiles and others. Ice Cream Social Mrs. H. S. Perry very hospitably threw open her home last night to the congrega- j tion of the New Swedenborgian church for a benefit, the proceeds going to the general church fund. Games were enjoyed during i the evening and a literary and musical program are given. Much of the evening's pleasure was due to Miss I iraee Perry and ! air. Arthur l'erry by the delightful music rendered. Here and There Mr. and Mrs. Frank G. Finlayson have removed from 1253 West Adams street to 1081 Bonsallo avenue. Mr. and Mrs. John Bradbury entertained witli a box party at the Orpheuin last night. Mrs. Levering entertained with a de- I lightfnl informal party at her home on West Eleventh street last night. Colonel and Mrs. Freeman G. Teed en tertained very delightfully Sunday with a dinner at their pretty home on Scarff street. The table and dining-room were profusely decorated with roses, pansies and carnations. The guests were Dr. and Mrs. McGowan, Mrs. Briggs, Dr. Bryant, Mr. and Mrs. Fixen and Mr. and Mrs. Day. Tbe Needlework guild of Ameiica that has recently been organized in this city has proved one of the most bereflcial chari table corporations that has ever put forth efforts to assist the poor and helpless. The institution blanks have been sent out this week to all charities with a view of finding out the needs of those worthy of assist ance. Tiie first distribution will take place May Ist, and it is to be hoped that all will readily respond and lend a helping hand. There have been 11 sections formed since January Ist, and each section has been pledged for 110 garments per year. The in-gathering takes place semi-annually in April and October.

ROBES FOR HER MAJESTY THE fJOWNS ARE MARVELS OF TIIE DRESS MAKER'S ART Officers of the Army and Navy to Attend the Ball The Cavalcade of Caballero.s Will Be a Feature on the Streets-The Athletic Club's Courtesy The royal robes for her majesty the queen of La Fiesta arrived yesterday. The gowns are pronounced a marvel of the dressmaker's art, and in material and style are most beautiful and costly. The robes are made according to the requirements of court etiquette in vogue at the courts in Europe, and the queen's dresses will be almost as much admired as the lady her self, when she appear* in public. The ball t dress is made en decollete, with thecus-* tomary train. Contracts havo been let for the livery of the coachmen and grooms, who will attend to the carriages of the queen and her court. I The drivers and attendants will be dressed In the regulation livery. It has been announced that between fifty and sixty officers of the army and navy will attend the ball in their full dress uni forms. The bright gold lace and handsome uniforms will add considerable eclat to that grand social event. j Chief Justice Baker of Arizona and wife have accepted the invitation to witness tfin j riesta. and will remain in Los Angeles for at least one week after the carnival. President Francis has received a letter from several of the most prominent people of Arizona, announcing their intention to come here during the Fiesta and asking to reserve tickets for tho ball. The queen's thrones, she will have three, are receiving the most careful considera tion at the hands of an accomplished artist, who has designed tho decorations. ■ The latter will make a beautiful ellect and will be made of the richest materials. The j carriages in which the queen and fier court will ride will also be decorated on a grand j scale. Col. J. F. Figueroa, who is in command of the cavalcade of caballeros, has sue (Seeded excel lentl y i v the Selection of riders. 1 Fifty of the most expert riders, all native 1 sons of California, will form the cavalcade, and will show their magnificent horseman- . ship. In addition to the male riders, there will be six young ladies dressed in exact Spanish costumes, who will prove that they are perfectly at home on horseback. Any lady or gentleman who desires to Join the caballeros is requested to inform the executive committee at the chamber of commerce. At a meeting of the Fiesta committee of Pasadena, yesterday, Edwin Steams was elected grand marshal and T. P. Lukens first assistant of the Pasadena division in the floral parade. The Athletic club has granted free use of Athletic park to contestants in the ath- j letic tournament for training purposes, i Those who are not members of the Ath- I letic club can receive cards of admission to the park by applying to the secretary at the club rooms. The executive committee is anxious to obtain forty to fifty feet of counter space ■ jin some store on Spring street or Broad- ; way, to be used for the sale of tickets for : all the Fiesta events. Anyone willing to : donate the required space is requested to communicate at once with the executive committee. A GANG OF BOY BURGLARS Revolvers, guns, Harness, Chickens, Clothing. Three youthful marauders are now lie hind the bars of the city jail charged with burglary, placed there by Detectives Auble and Haw ley. who have for some days been looking them up. The boys are Fred Spinks. 10 years old: Eddie Whitson, aged 12, and Frank Steiner, 11 years old. All are young in years but old in vicious ways, Fred Spinks having been up on November 7,1804, for grand lareony, and the Whit son boy had three charges of burglary against him dismissed something over a year ago on account of his tender age and the pleadings of his mother that she be al lowed to take him out of the state. This was done, and the family have only recent ly returned from Colorado. Whitson lives with his mother in a tent at the corner of Third and Wall streets, the father being in the Soldiers' home. Fred Spinks resides at Eighth and Lemon streets and the i Steiner boy at Peru and Sixteenth streets. This trio lias been committing thefts without number and in all parts of the city. Spinks and Steiner were arrested Monday while Whitson was captured yesterday morning. From Spinks was taken an ugly I looking bulldog revolver and Whitson was | loaded witli an old-fashioned powder and | ball Colt's revolver that was over a foot , long and must have been a formidable load lor a small boy to pack around. No less than eight cases of robbery have already been traced directly to them, witli plenty more to follow. For some time the gang has been very successful and have plundered indiscrimi nately, taking everything that came their way, from suspenders and chickens to guns, watches, harness and jewelry. From a house on Seventh near Pearl they got a watch and a pair of pants. At Captain Carr's place, at Central avenue and Pico street, they stole eight fine thoroughbred Cochin chickens which they sold to a com mission man on Main, just below Fifth street for 35 cents apiece. Another henroost on Fourteenth street was also despoiled. On Third street they got a suit of clothes and an extra pair ol pants from a room. From a barn in the alleyway between Ninth and Tenth streets they stole a set of harness, which was sold for little or nothing. In a shed in the rear of a house on Ninth street they found a coat, which went with them, and in a barn o.i Tenth street a -bonanza was struck in the shape of a lot of books, which were carried off. Their last burglary was committed Sun - day evening, when they entered a house at the corner of Tenth and Grand avenue and made away with a revolver, a breech-load ing shotgun, one watch and chain, a lot of old coins, a pair of shoes and last of all a pair of suspenders. Much of their plunder has been disposed of to private parties and not to second-hand stores, which makes its tracing and recovery a difficult matter. The cases above mentioned are not all that the young rascals have engaged in. ' and the officers are now looking for othei stolen stuff which passed through theit hands. A complaint, charging them with ' i burglary, was yesterday sworn out, and ; the precocious trio will face Judge Morri son today for arraignment. There seem s no doubt that the whole outfit will be sent ' to Whittier for their minority. It is hardly worth anyone's while to take 1 the risk of waiting for a cough, cold or any 1 lung trouble "to go as it came," when a remedy so sure and thorough as Dr. D, Jayne's Expectorant is so easily pro % curable.

FROM JEAN LENERT A Letter Explaining About the Property He Kenti THE HERALD lias received the following from Jean Lenert: Editor Herald: In reference to your issue of March 80th, 1 respectfully ask you to rectify an injustice you have done me in your article headed A Grinding and Sinful Monopoly. You quote me as having seven cribs, which is correct. You also further state that I represent and control the west side of Alameda street. You state that two men have tho full control on Alameda streot. naming me as one of them. The facts are these: I leased this property from .Theodore and Mrs. Baur for the term of five years, paying them the sum of $220 a month for the bare ground rent. I have expended on that property about $10,000. I have ear- i ried on the saloon business in this city for a number of years and at all times con ducted it in an orderly and quiet manner. As far as controlling the west side of Ala- \ meda streot. I absolutely deny the least control or the ownership of any other property outside of that lease from Theo- i dore and Mrs. Baur. If anyone is envious of my position I will be glad to let him have it for one third of what 1 have in vested in said premises. JIAN Lenert. The only response The Herat d has to mako to the foregoing is that if Jean Lenert assumes that it has asserted or j meant to convey the impression that he controlled the entire west side of Alameda street he is mistaken. The diagram ac companying the article, "A Grinding and Sinful Monopoly,' 1 published in Monday's issue of The Herald, plainly designated the ground controlled by Jean Lenert. The ground designated is the same that Lenert admits renting at the price of $220 per month, which is only about five times as much as the same property would bring for ordinary legitimate business purposes. —[B».] M'MNLEY CLUB.

The flames orignated from a burning punk in the joss house at the corner of Nigger alley, which is situated upstairs in a brick building. All tbe furnishings of the room were of a flimsy and inflammable charac ter and burned like tinder. Quick work of the fire department prevented the fire from spreading, and barring a thorough soaking the building was not much in jured. In the joss house were a number of line carvings and other valuables, which are ruined. The total loss is figured at nearly $2000. If You Want . . .
