Write the Truth as you see it; Fight the Wrong as you flnrt it; Pnb . Hah all the News and Trust the Event to the Jodtmrnt of the People THURSDAY, APRIL 0. 1896 THE PEOPLE'S PROTEST Los Angeles has seen many im promptu mass meetings in the past, but none that in point of numbers, enthusi- , asm and intelligent interest could be considered as approaching the gather ing in behalf of San Pedro harbor at the northeast corner of the county court house last evening. The friends of a free harbor, a people's harbor, have abund- . ant reason to feel deeply gratified and highly encouraged with the popular outpouring which, in spite of the efforts | of Southern Pacific sympathizers to di- ' vert the people to a counter demonstra tion, proved in a magnificent way the loyalty of the citizens of Los Angeles ' and vicinity to the site that in the vig orous language of one of the speakers "is the choice of the government engi neers, the congressional representa tives from this section, the people and God Almighty. The value of last night's San Pedro harbor meeting lies not alone in its size and enthusiasm, but also in its representative character. It was in the fullest sense of the term an assemblage of the people inspired by impersonal motives, pervaded by the spirit of pa triotism, untrammeled and unintlu enced by the designs of a remorseless monopoly. People of every kind, con dition and occupation, and of differing beliefs regarding well-nigh every other subject of human consideration last evening showed that they could be in hearty accord on that question of tran scendent importance to this part of the state —the building of a deep sea harbor at San Pedro. This meeting, significant of the in tense interest of the masses in the cause of San Pedro, should lend great moral assistance to the efforts of Senator White to secure in the senate the appro priations needed to complete the inner harbor at San Pedro and to undertake the work preliminary to the construc tion of the outer harbor at the same place. Although the claims of San Pedro have been ably and repeatedly presented and have had the benefit of repeated endorsement by government •xperts, and it would seem as though all had been done that could be, the report of last evening's demonstration, judi ciously used, cannot fail to emphasize all that has gone before. It came as a fitting and timely protest against the under-handed attempt to secure, in de fiance of the popular will, public money With which to benefit strictly private Interests to the everlasting detriment •f those of the people. WHERE HIS "PULL" COMES IN Collis P. Huntington is demonstrating that he is a gentleman of wonderful potency in the congressional lobby. 'jLt the very beginning of the session Be loomed up as a controlling factor and gave evidence of his "pull" with Speaker Beed, by securing through the •gar the appointment on the Pacific I railroads and the river and harbor committees, congressmen not "un friendly" to the interests he stands for. •The effect of his manipulation of Tom (teed Is seen in the recommendation by those committees of bills in consonance With his views—the Pacific railroads committee reporting a bill that provides for refunding the Union and Central Pacific railroads' indebtedness on terms vastly better for the companies than those contained in the Reilly bill de feated in the last session of congress, and the committee on rivers and har borfl cutting down the appropriation for lon Pedro harbor to a beggarly $50,000 Instead of the sum that there was every season to expect would be recom mended. It is not probable that Mr. Hunting tost has exercised this marvelous in fluence solely because of his charming personality. The average person will Ijie impressed with the belief that some V substantia! reason exists for the sub ■: '4BXfs*»s*v cf She Beea house te the wishes of the lobbyist par excellence of the day. The reason may possibly be found in the following recent Wash ington special to the St. Louis Republic: The campaign of Huntington and his associate millionaires has been con ducted here with great adroitness. They began work promptly as soon as It be came known that the Republicans would control both branches of con gress. The Republican leaders have been in close communication with Mr. Huntington. There will be no effort made to pass his bill during this ses sion of congress, but as an evidence of good faith the committee of both houses will report favorably the meas ure that has been drafted by Mr. Hun tington's lobbyists. The understand ing then is that at the short session of congress, after the presidential elec tion, the bills will be forced through both houses. It is whispered here that, in consider ation of this service from the Repub lican party, Mr. Huntington is to in vest the enormous sum of $1,000,000 in the Republican presidential campaign. One would think that with the manu facturers to draw on and the trusts and the corporate wealth of the coun try generally, the Republican party would not rind it necessary to mortgage itself to C. P. Huntington. But those who are in a position to know assure the Republic correspondent that the facts herein stated are absolutely cor rect. Huntington looks upon the present congress as the opportunity of a life- time. He has felt the pulse of the Re publican body and has dealt directly with the leaders. The Democrats have not been taken into consideration. Per haps a few of them in the senate- Sir. Brice. for instance—have been con sulted and can be relied upon to help the scheme along. It is believed that in a general way the new funding scheme will involve extension, of the debt for 100 years at Hi per cent. This is Hun tington's own offer and unless all the signs are awry the Republicans of con gress will obey the magnate's bidding. DESTROYING PAVED STREETS Sixteen years ago, before there was a paved street in Los Angeles. Hon. Ab bot Kinney advocated the policy of pav ing no street until a sewer subway had been constructed under it. in which all pipes, wires, etc., for public or quasi public service could be placed. Mr. Kinney showed that the cost of such a subw ay was somew hat greater than an ordinary main sewer, but that the city could obtain its advantage in two ways. First, by never having a street torn up again, as is now the case, over and over again; and. second, in obtain ing rentals from the various corpora tions using them. Mr. Kinney showed the great economy to the corporations in the use of such a subway over pres ent methods of tearing up and repairing paved streets. A rate of compensation to the city could have been arranged for the use of the subways by telegraph and telephone wires and water and gas, and perhaps oil pipes, that would ex tinguish bonds issued for the purpose of constructing such subways in twelve years. The following extract from the re cently issued work of Albert Shaw shows how this is done in the great city of Paris: "As I have already remarked, the Paris sewers were designed with ref erence to their use as general subways. Supported along the walls near the top of the gallery one finds not only the water pipes of the double supply sys tem, but also the telegraph and tele phone wires; the pneumatic tubes which facilitate the collection and dis tribution of letters; the pipes of the compressed air service that furnishes motive power for small users and that maintains a system of pneumatic clocks, and perhaps, other kinds of pipes or wires." Is it too late to start this kind of pol icy here. An incident deeply significant of the danger possible to a good cause when the latter has associated with it an un popular personality or newspaper, oc curred at last night's free harbor meet ing, when a resolution was proposed, thanking The Herald, the San Francis co Examiner, the San Francisco Call, the Los Angeles Record and the Los Angeles Times for their championship of the San Pedro harbor, elicited a mighty chorus of requests, coming from all parts of the vast throng, that the last-named paper be eliminated from the list. Of course Chairman Hazard could not submit the resolution to be voted on by sections, so the Times was unanimously thanked along with the other papers, the hundreds protesting against the idea of considering the Times a subject for gratitude not desir ing to mar the unanimity of the occas ion by voting against the resolution as a whole. It is true that only the un thinking would be prejudiced against San Pedro harbor because the Times is in advocacy of it, but it is also lament ably true that the vote of unthinking men weigh as much as that of the most profound philosopher. San Pedro may well appeal to be saved from some of its friends. Animated by commendable public spirit, the edition of the Labor World, the official organ of the Los Angeles county council of labor, issued this week's edition of the World yesterday, one day In advance of the regular day of publication, in order to contribute to the success of last evening's free harbor meeting. This issue of the World represents the views of or ganized labor on the harbor matter In a vigorous and clear manner. Its slo gan is, "San Pedro or bust." The passage of the Cuban resolution calling on the President to requst of Spain the recognition of the Independ eence of Cuba will establish the present congress in history as a body endowed with a cheek beside which that possess ed by all the mules ever enlisted in the United States army is sickly and timed. General Harrison was bound to have a second term even if he had to take it in matrimony. The Czarina's Ukase on Tobacco There has been a nutter in Russian court circles anent the order of the czarina commanding that none of her ladies-in-waiting are to smoke cigar ettes. Russian ladies are inveterate smokers, and the dowager czarina is said to bave favored the habit herself. The young empress, however, has a perfect detestation of seeing a cigar ette in a woman's mouth, and, in fact, also objects to the habit of smoking in men. Indeed since his marriage, hi? imperial majesty has not been nearly so devoted to the well known meer schaum pipe, so familiar to all the Russian court. The czarina inherits her abhorrence of tobacco from her mother, the lamented Princess Alice.— Kansas City Star.

April 4—As indicated in our advices of last week, April opens With a better feeling In the Wall street markets. The currency sent Into the country for the usual April settlements is returning, and as the banks now see nothing to prevent a steady and c om paratively easy course of the money market until the fall crop movement sets In there is more disposition to make time loans and at rates satisfactory to the stock houses. A slight Hurry has been caused by the close approach ol the rates of foreign exchange to tin point admitting of exports of gold, but that is a movement only natural to the season, and if it should c ause some with drawal of legal tenders from the bank: to procure gold from the treasury, the present condition of the reserves and the influx of money from the Interior may be trusted to prevent any appreci able scarcity of loanable funds. The discount market may quite possibly ex hibit some appearance of closeness tor some weeks or even months to come, lot in certain industries there is an over production and a carrying of large stocks of goods which induces caution towards paper coming from these spe cific sources. This, however, is by no means a general feature in relation to mercantile paper; it rather concerns industrial than mercantile credits: and this feeling among the bankers is per haps interpreted for much more than it really means, and for that reason may be expected soon to abate. So long, however, as it continues it « ill be a fac tor favoring a preference for loans cot stock collaterals and will therefor.- tend to keep down the rate on cailTOoney. To this extent the prospect as to tin supply of money for stock exchange purposes is favorable within the range of the next few mouths. We cannot but repeat the opinion pre viously expressed In these advices that the feeling at present prevailing at this center is not a fair reflection of the tone of business in the country at large-. For the moment this city, as the chief center of industrial capital has certain adverse circumstances to contend against, and though those conditio,is may call for prudence and caution, yet there is no reason to anticipate really serious consequences from them, and they may be expected to work out their own remedy through enforcing a better adjustment between demand and sup ply in certain industrial staples. The sooner these exceptional conditions arc viewed with a discriminating judgment the better for all parties, it leads to needless distrust when inferences against the w hole business of the coun try are drawn from conditions which apply only In a restricted locality and to a few interests— though the Interests may he important ones. Sue h misjudge ments, however, cannot long prevail, and no serious mistake w ill be made in expecting an early recovery from the exaggerated pessimism which just now prevails to some extent in this city. Even pessimism, however, has its compensations; for it sometimes helps to compel desirable results not otherwise procurable. This sort of effect is now apparent in the mitigation of stubborn obstacles to the settle ment of Insolvencies among the rail roads. The Northern Pacific recon struction may now be regarded as a virtually accomplished fact. The set tlement of the long pending disputes between the government and the sub sidized Pacific lines also appears to be in a fair way towards adjustment. These long pending derangements have long had a seriously depressing effect upon railroad investments, not only in this country but still more in Europe. They have also had the effect of keep ing stagnant a large mass of securities which bad previously been actively dealt in at the stock exchange; and this must be regarded as one of the chief causes of the protracted depres sion in speculative transactions. Tho prospect of these settlements may therefore be regarded as a hopeful fea ture in approaching conditions. The unexpectedly outspoken protest of the Republican state conventions on the silver question has a most en couraging effect upon confidence among the investing classes. Instead of the evasions from party leaders that had been feared, there has been the plainest declaration for the mainten ance of the gold standard as against attacks from the silver faction. This explieltness is all that could be de sired, and it strikes the country as fat better than was hoped for. The im portance of this attitude lies in the- fact that it shows a great, positive progress in public opinion in favor of the sole gold standard and against any further commitments t». silver. There can be no backsliding from the position thus taken; and in this very important re spect the country finds assurance and safety. This assurance is immeasura bly valuable, and cannot fail to have a most important effect upon confidence in every ramification of finance, it now seems a fair conclusion that a sound foundation stone has been laid in public- opinion for the structure of our future currency system. This first great step being thus virtually won. we can afford to deliberate pa tiently and wisely in determining what Shall be the remaining contributions towards the reconstruction of our mon etary system upon a sound, broad, elastic and permanent basis. Tin house committee on currency and banking are working earnestly and in telligently towards maturing an ac ceptable measure of currency reform. The various measures before them are each directed towards methods which would afford a vast improvement upon existing arrangements; but the differ ences in detail may prevent an agree ment during the present session; and both in congress and out there are prej udices and misconceptions so stub born that it may be the wisest course to allow a further period of public dis cussion lor their removal. Indeed, among those best acquainted with the present immature state of public opin ion on the question, the feeling appears to be that the country is not yet ripe for a thoroughly regulated settlement. Taking a broad outlook on the ques tions and the dislocations that have been so deeply unsettling confidence, we see on all sides the evidences of a steady and cautious approach towards a remedial adjustment. There is a more intelligent comprehension of the situation, its causes and its remedies, among the people at large than existed but a few months ago. The country is not unreasonably impatient for a solu tion. It appreciates the complexity of the questions involved: and so long as it is satisfied that progress is being made on tlie right line, it would prefer carerul deliberation to a hasty and in complete readjustment. The point has been reached . however, at which a great revival of conHdahee is inevitable both at home and abroad; the principle of the gold basis has been Irrevocably affirmed, and all that remains to be done is the formulation of the details as to the minor forms of money. That satisfies Wall street for the present; and must soon show Its results in a restoration of financial activities. The iatest returns of railroad earn ings leave no room for question aa to the improving condition of tlieir finances and the growing activity of general business in the country at large. Tiie following statement shows some of the gains of net earnings of important lines in the month of Feb ruary: Increase over ISO,")—Chicago.

These are facts that must have their effect upon the market for securities.
