That Anaheim will have electric-railway communication with the outside world in the near future is not to be doubted, but that the line will come on the route recently petitioned for in this city, Fullerton and Buena Park is not so certain. Mr. Pillsbury stated to the committee which called upon him last week that the route indicated had not previously suggested itself to the company. He added in the course of his remarks that Mr. Huntington was an enthusiastic believer in the future of Southern California, that he knew this portion of Orange county well, having driven over it several times, that he would probably extend his electric system of railways to every portion of Southern California having business sufficient to justify it, but that he would not parallel Well do we remember the nary lines of survey through territory west of this city Huntington will never be line over that route," we sured; "it's only a bluff," sort of thing. Yet on W of last week something at Santa Ana from which not yet altogether recover parently the mossback f did not know that work line had been actually pr since La Habra turned another snooze. Here Huntington with the auctually running cars in Ana without having first their permission to do report comes by rounda that he intends continuing schedule of trains over the Think of it! Now then, all you good look you here. We can electric railway in northern county, and we believe w it can be started next early in the following ye energetic action is needed right of way from Whittie La Habra hitherward w Our information, as we st week, is that the La H have awakened, thorough freshed after their long even as they rub their hear of property values Mr. Huntington was an enthusiastic believer in the future of Southern California, that he knew this portion of Orange county well, having driven over it several times, that he would probably extend his electric system of railways to every portion of Southern California having business sufficient to justify it, but that he would not parallel his tracks. A glance at the railroad map will show that a line running from Fullerton westerly through Buena Park and Norwalk to a junction with the Santa Ana line at Artesia, while not exactly paralleling the company's line, is nevertheless out of the question from a geographical point of view. Mr. Pillsbury's observation that this route had not previously suggested itself to his company has added emphasis imparted to it by a glance at the map. Yet if the route suggested be not followed, nevertheless the visit of the committee must inevitably result in directing Mr. Huntington's attention to the fact that our people mean business and are determined to leave no stone unturned to secure electric-railway connection with his system of trolly lines. The committee was very courteously received, and on receipt of word indicating the action of the railway board of directors plans for future action will be immediately taken up for concerted action all along the line. Undoubtedly the true route for an electric railway line entering Orange county from the north is by way of Whittier and La Habra. Two years ago, when Mr. Huntington was engaged in the work of building his line from Los Angeles to Whittier, Anaheim felt it would soon be joined by trolly to the inter-urban system. A franchise firm had been procured early in the following year energetic action is needed right of way from Whittier to La Habra hitherward. Our information, as we start week, is that the La Habra have awakened, thoroughly freshed after their long even as they rub their hear of property values and trebling all along the to the west of us, announcing intention of offering no furtherjection to the construction line through the valley. Be so, it augurs well for section. Anaheim can take care of way through this north to south and three country toward Fullerton north and Orange on the Our people stand ready. Fullerton can do the same section, and half the battle. It will take time and more it, but it caa be done. Already there are run line from Santa Ana to by way of Orange, Olive river canyon. Santa Ana determined to shut out the ern portion of Orange county seat never had for any section of Orange except Santa Ana; yet not alert we may some day to the realization that urban electric system built all around us, leaving him, Fullerton and Bu occupying a place in the center of a rich territory trolly line in sight, immensely prospective. There is work to do, and the time to do it. The longer of commerce is doing work. It should have co-operation of every citizen. an electric railway line entering Orange county from the north is by way of Whittier and La Habra. Two years ago, when Mr. Huntington was engaged in the work of building his line from Los Angeles to Whittier, Anaheim felt it would soon be joined by trolly to the inter-urban system. A franchise for the road had been procured through this city, and even as we looked for the approach of the cars, the work ceased and the force of track-layers withdrew upon completion of the line to Whittier. What was the meaning of this? The answer is found in the action of the La Habra valley people, who demanded excessive prices for right of way. In a word the railway line was help up by as short-sighted and foolish a policy as ever militated against the interests of a rich and promising locality. Nothing further was done, and the La Habra line, as well as that entering northern Orange county, has been as completely forgotten as if it had pitched off the pier into the river of Lethe. And our notion of it is that the matter will be permitted to remain in blissful ignoring by the company until such time as a gleam of reawakening intelligence shall come to the La Habra folk. Meantime the road from Watts station to Santa Ana was taken up. we remember the preliminaries of survey through the west of this city. "Mr. Benton will never build his car that route," we were as it's only a bluff," and that morning. Yet on Wednesday week something happened Ana from which we have altogether recovered. Ap- the mossback fraternity know that work upon the been actually progressing Habra turned over for snooze. Here was Mr. Benton with the audacity of running cars into Santa without having first secured permission to do so. And homes by roundabout way contends continuing a daily row of trains over the road! then, all you good people, here. We can have an railway in northern Orange and we believe work upon be started next year, or the following year. But action is needed. A free away from Whittier through Cra hitherward will do it. Formation, as we stated last year, that the La Habra folk awakened, thoroughly re-after their long sleep, and they rub their eyes and property values doubling Richard Croker retired after many years as leader of Tammany Hall with a fortune estimated at $8,000,-000. Three years the leader of Tammany Hall, and beginning as a poor man, Boss Murphy is believed to have a fortune that surpasses Croker's. The next four years will make him the richest political boss in America, providing Hearst is not successful in the recount. The question is asked, where did he get it? He has no knowledge of business. He draws no salary, and he is not a large owner of real estate. Murphy's policy is secretive, yet some facts have been secured throwing light on his fortune-creating methods. The contracting company; of which he is believed to hold eighty-five of the hundred shares, has enjoyed a monopoly of all the big contracting business in the last three years and obtained contracts footing up $25,000,000. He has Wall street headquarters and buys stock on "hot tips." All minor Tammany grafts have been seized by Murphy and are now controlled by him through his brother Jack. Murphy controls men who spend $115,000,000 a year, and an organization that can raise $1,000,000 by personal assessment on its members.

Ne ASHER SECRETARY BONAPARTE has ordered that the annual reports of navy bureau chiefs which have not yet been made public shall be withheld until he has had an opportunity to read them and possibly until the appearance of his own report. This order is the result of the publicity attending the remarks and recommendations of Rear Admiral C. W. Rae, engineer-in-chief of the navy, on the subject of naval personnel. The bureau chief went pretty thoroughly into the question of the need of navy engineers, and in the course of his comments remarked that the navy was not in position to win battles, owing to the lack of trained engineers and the failure of the navy department to provide engineer officers for ships of war. This assertion has attracted much attention, especially abroad, and is considered to have been an injudicious statement to make, admitting it to be true. There is no subject which is approached more gingerly on every hand by those in authority than anything which has to do with the naval personnel, and in that general subject a comment upon naval year, and an organization that can raise $1,000,000 by personal assessment on its members. No railroad can get a franchise or enter into a new street without his friendship. No public enterprise requiring the use of the streets can flourish or do business if he should say no. No gas or electric lighting plant, not even those run by the Rockefellers, can put up a new plant or extend its lines without his favor. These are extraordinary sources of wealth which this man enjoys, who seven years ago was an active saloon keeper and who now is without any business and who draws no salary.
