If Senator Morgan continues to talk,
Mid talk and talk again, the cost of getting
oat the Congressional lieeord for this ses
sion of congress may require another
issue of bonds. Somebody should remind
the senator that at present the resources of
the government are limited.
Mary Elizabkth Lease, a one-time
leaderees of the Populists, is now a preach
eress in Wichita, Ivan. It is said that
about everybody there except her husband
goes to drink iv the gospel as she pours it
out. The reason he does not go is because
he is a diuggist and Sunday is his busiest
day. See ?
Po"R little Vest of Missouri seems deter
mined to signalize his closing days in the
senate with an exhibition of senile petti
ness, in fuming, fretting and vituperation
that is almost pathetic when it is recalled
that his earlier career was not destitute of
credit to himself or of usefulness to his
state. Kschewing the discussion of ques
tions of national importance he rises to as
sert his insatiable and belligerent desire
for senatorial seed perquisites and tlie
cheap production of Ctah asphaltum. "In
the name of the prophet, figs! - '
The enmities of Europe shift like chess
men on the board. A few weeks since and
the emperor of Germany toyed viciously
with that part of the British lion that
always comes after, while France contem
plated the performance complacently but
with the secret hope that the lion would
get real mad and make ribbons out of tlie
Irresponsible William. Now the scene
changes, and we find Willie and the beast
playing prisoner's base on the same side
while the mercurial Frenchmen grow tem
pestuous over the alleged aggression that
is involved in England's expedition up the
Nile.
A story has gone abroad in a way that
stories have, to the effect that Governor
Budd has desperately endeavored to care
for the interests of the public by filling
some of the best offices with his relatives.
This story ib defective in a way that lots of j
stories are—it lacks the elements of truth.
The fact is that Governor Budd has ap
pointed only one relative to office, and
that appointment was made contrary to
the appointee's wish. Ttie gontleman ap
pointed is a brother of the governor, and
he took the cilice, which, by the way, is
without remuneration, with the under
standing that his appointment would be
but temporary.
The Rev. Dr. Brown is not hard to
please. He says that the report of the
Congregational council which has had htm
on the rack of trial for the last three weeks,
vindicates him. But it is the kind of a
▼indication that would sell very low in the
markets. It is true that the council de
olarea its inability, with the testimony
which has been submitted, to adjudge the
parson guilty of the naughtiness alleged,
but it does not do so in a way that
indicates that it feels morally convinced of
ids innocence. It is plain that the vindica
tion is of a strictly teciinical order. As the
council intimates, his explanation of the
payment of $500 to Mrs. Davidson, with
an agreement providing for monthly pay
ments of $35 for a series of years, was
somewhat too hazy to receiva credeace in
the minds of any but the most unsophis
ticated.
The Stockton Mail plumes itself with the
expectation that the next Democratic
state convention will gc to the city by the
slough, and claims to have had assurances
of Sacramento's aid in securing it. This
belief of the Mail's is just a trifle unwar
ranted. As has been stated in the Herald,
the suggestion m»de before the slate cen
tral committee during its late ses
sion in San Francisco, that Los
Angeles have the next convention,
was received with well nigh unanimous
approval, and prominent members of the
Sacramento representation on the com
mittee openly expressed themselves in
favor of Los Angeles for the meeting of
1898. Since 1888 every Democratic state
convention his been held north, and in all
fairness it would certainly seem as if the
region south of Tehachepi might be en
titled to the next. One in ten years is
surely a modest average.
Senator Lod<;e, like Senator Morgan
and other senators who persist in rambling
around the world and meddling with the
business of foreign countries instead of
minding that of this country, waxes in
dignant because the Spanish minister
courteously but firmly disputes the cor
rectness of certain assertions made
by senators regarding the meth
ods pursued by .Spanish com
manders in Cuba. Mr. Lodge, with that
latintudinarian conception of the rights
and prerogatives of a United States sena
tor that is common with his political
school seems to bel ieve that he and his
fellow ranters in the upper house of con
gress should be exempt from criticism.
He is mistaken in this, as in several other
important matters. As the Chicago Chron
icle says:
The freedom of debate which the const!
tution contemplate, does not mean exemp
tion from criticism or from correction of
errors, whether of ignorance or intention.
This freedom does not mean license, save
such as is restrained by high regard for
truth and a high sense of propriety, os
, pecially with respect to international re
lations. It is disgraceful in a man to
avail himself of the privilege of debate for
the purpose of insulting and maligning a
country with which we profess to be
friendly.
The Spanish minister has criticised noth
ing uttered on the floor of the senate ex
cept statements derogatory to his own
country, and his criticism was in no re
spect offensively framed. If our Lodges
and Shermans had spoken half as temper
ately aud courteously of Spain as De Lome
has spoken of their deliverances probably
the latter would have held his peace. When
senators feel an uucontrollable impulse to
jump upon some country without reason
or moderation it would be much better for
their own reputation as well as for the
peace and good fame of the United States
if they would hermetically seal themselves
in executive session."
A DIFFERENCE OF $96,500,000
The question of reform in taxation is
coming to the front in clearer outlines and
with greater force every month and almost
every day. It will no more "down"' than
would Banquo's ghost. Honest aud intell
igent citizens differ, as might be expected,
concerning the best method of tax reform.
But no intelligent citizen who has given
the matter investigation doubts for a mo
ment the imperative necessity for radical
changes in our taxation methods. He
knows that the present system is rotten to
the core; that it is a prolific source of finan
cial loss, political corruption and moral
degradation; that it works injustice to the
many, and grants special favors to a
few; that it opens the door to favoritism,
fraud, deceit, falsehood, perjury, suborna
tion of perjury, malfeasance in office, and
many other crimes and misdemeanors
which need not be enumerated. The more
the present system is investigated and
turned inside out the more hideous it ap
pears. The marvel is that it should have
been so long perpetuated by an intelligent
people professing to be qualified for self
government.
The Herald has from time to time pre
sented to its readers important facts and
statistics shoeing how tiie fiscal policy of
various states, counties and municipalities
has been need as an engine of oppression
and a covering for official rascality. But
now comes a revelation of taxation fraud
more astounding than any we have heard
of except the exposures made by the
Kighth Biennial Report of the Illinois State
Bureau of Labor Statistics.
A few weeks ago Mayor Swift of Chicago,
urged on by prominent citizens and tax
reform organizations, appointed a com
mission to investigate certain alleged
assessment inequalities in that city. The
commissioners have just made a report of
their work in part of the principal busi
ness district. The territory covered is that
bounded by State street on the east, Madi
son street on the south and the river on
tlie north and west. Within that area are
m ist, though not all, of the very large
and costly business blocks, hotels and
theaters of tlie "down town" district. Land
values within those boundaries have, dur
ing the past few years, been creeping up
with tremendous rapidity, and today
ground on some of the best corners is
worth at the rate of from $3,000,000 to
$8,000,000 an acre. Tlie regular assessor
for the south division, within which that
district is located, fixed and reported the
total value of all the grounds antl buildings
in the district at 110.873,980. The com
missioners, however, after careful investi
gation, find the property to be worth
$107,393,100. The difference in these
two valuations is, in round numbers, $f»b>
500,000!
If such a revelation as that will not
cause Chicago taxpayers to think and act
vigorously, with a view of speedily bring
ing about a sweeping reform, it will be be
cause they enjoy official rascality and are
willing to pay for it.
The territory investigated thus far is
only about one-fourth of what the commis
sioners will cover. Further revelations
from them will be awaited with deep in
terest.
" 'McKinley and Protection' will be the
battle-cry next fall, and it will astonish the
world to see how the hosts of freedom ral
ly at the sound thereof."
Thus shouts the local organ of the Buck
eye attitudinizer. It is the sincere wish of
the Democratic party that "McKin
ley and Protection" will bo the
battle-cry next fall of the Repub
lican party. Of all the candidates
mentioned for the Republican party, none
can be beaten with greater ease than
William-of-the-tariff. The suggestion that
"the hosts of freedom will rally at the
sound thereof" is a fine piece of uncon
scious satire. What have the hosts of free
dom to do with protection except to bury it
beyond the resurrecting power of Gabriel s
loudest trump What have the hosts of
freedom to do wilh a principle that
stands for industrial slavery, com
mercial restriction and economic lunacy.
The hosts of freedom will rally to the man
and the principle that represent the ina
lienable right of every individual to ex
change the products of his labor when,
: where and with whom he pleases, unre
stricted and unimpeded by unnatural and
I unconstitutional tariff enactments.
Tur. conferring of the order of St.
George on Negus Menelik by the czar is au
i act brim full of significance. It is equiv-
I alent to a declaration of sympathy witii the
| Abyssininns in the conflict with Italy and
i plainly places, under the circumstances,
I Russia in distinct antagonism to the drei
| bund and England. And it very fully con
] firms the long prevalent theory that Rus
sia has been giving secret aid and comfort
to Abyssinia.
Proxies in Democratic state central
committee meetings must be precious
things when men resort to forgeries to
control them. The forger of the Savage
proxy should be rooted out and things
made so warm for him that he will find it
profitable to let Democratic politics alone
in the future.

jLOS ANGHSLES HERALD: THURSDAY MORNING. MARCH 19. 1896.
GOV. BUDD AND THE FIESTA
HE. ACCOMPANIED BY HIS STAFF, WILL
BE AT THE CELEBRATION
Her ilajestv Receives • Latter From ths Pre
aldlo—Floral Day Commute* Has Some
thing to Say-Miiltary Display Will Be
Great—Tho Queen's Escort
The executive committee of La Fiesta
received yesterday tlie following letter,
signed by K. D. McCabe, Governor Build's
private secretary : "The governor has ar
ranged his business with a view of being
iv attendance at your Fiesta celebration
antl desires me to thank you on behalf of
himself and Mrs. Budd for your kind invi
tation. Hia staff will, in all probability,
join him in Los Angeles, and they antici
pate a pleasant time and have no doubt of
tiie success of the celebration."
Mayor Sutro of San Francisco will not be
present. He sent a very cordial letter, ex
pressing his regrets and his thanks for the
invitation. He hopes that the Fiesta will
be a complete realization of every dream
of its success and that the reputation of
Los Angeles and Southern California will
be enhanced by the celebration.
Official invitations, signed by the presi
dent and secretary have been forwarded
to die officers and directors of the cham
bers of commerce and boards of trade in
the principal cities of the Pacific coast
states.
A letter was received yesterday from the
Presidio at San Francisco, addressed to
"Her Majesty, tho Queen of La Fiesta de
Los Angeles." A special courier was im
mediately dispatched to the queen's palace
with instructions to deliver the message to
her majesty in person.
The transportation of the liberty pole is
promising to he a serious matter. Tiie
Terminal Railway company lias placed at
the disposal of the Fiesta management six
of its longest cars to carry the pole to this
city and the railway company will.at its own
expense, dress and paint the huge stick
when it arrives in this city. D. F. Done
gun will have 100 or more draft horses
ready to deliver it at the Sixth street park.
Its march of entry into this city will be of
a patriotic nature, becoming a pole that
will lloat the largest Stars and Stripes in
California.
The floral day committee desires to Im
press upon tlie public that the parade is not
confined to vehicles of this city, but that it
is tlie wish of the committee to make the
floral pageant the grandest aud most ar
tistic event of tlie carnival. To that end en
tries will be received from people residing
anywhere in Southern California, who will
aid in sustaining the reputation of this
section as tho land of flowers.
Tlie military display will lie of a greater
extent than previous years, if the plana of
General Last and t olonel Berry can be
carried out. The ouly question upon which I
ti 1 vis depend is that of transportation j
o ;ie different companies. If arranue- ]
ments can be made as to railroad rates the i
entiie brigade will be in line and a military j
camp »ill be established at a convenient
point, where guard mounts and dress
parades will take place. The briirade will
then be rev iewed by Governor Budd and
his staff, and the soldier boys will combiue
business with pleasure.
The ball committee depends upon the
kind offices of Admiral Beardslee of the
North Pacific squadron to provide an escort
to the queen, ttiat will be most striking in
its appearance. It is intended to have sev- j
eral hundred I'nited States sailors, in their |
snow-white uniforms, protect the queen's I
throne during the ball.
The press committee was organized last !
Tuesday. It was the sense of the commit
tee that all visiting newspaper men be
given the freedom of the city and that they
will be provided with badges, entitling
them to free admission to all the events, to
the theaters and to free transportation on
all the car lines.
AT THE THEATERS
The BrRFASK.—The Carleton opera
company presented The Bohemian Girl
last evening to another crowded audience.
There was not a vacant seat in the spa
cious theater and the second production of
this favorite opera was given a warm re
ception. Judging from the applause and
encores the company was eminently pleas
ing to those present. The entire company
did good work last night. Miss Atkinson's
voice was at its best. She has made a
most excellent impression. Mr. Carleton
at the matinee yesterday sprained his
ankle, but he appeared last evening though
in a slightly crippled condition and was
otherwise up to his u'ttal high standard.
Tonight Fra Diavolo receives its last ren
dition and on Friday, Saturday and Sun
day evenings The Mikado will be the bill.
At the presentation of this opera Mr. Carle
ton will sing by special request the famous
ballad, Hose Marie, by Malloy. At the
matinee on Saturday the Bohemian Girl
will receive its final production.
ft ft
The Orpkeum—lt is a rousing good show
that will be given at the Orpheum tonight
- in fact there has never been a better bill
presented at this popular house than the
present one. The Wiltons are exception
ally clever artists on the triple horizontal
biT. Pantzer Bros, are the greatest head
equilibrist! and acrobats in the world. A
very pleasing feature of the program is the
bright travesty Bketch given by the charm-
I ing Jules and Ella Garrison. The Athos
family are a lively sextette of acrobats,
I and the little infant member of the team
is a marvel. Friedlander Bros, furnish a
lot of fun with their clever playing on a
dozen odd instruments, For rousing, irre
sistible fun tlie Bros. ! Hamas, in their
combination turn of mirth and music and
tumbling, are the stars. Kossley Bros,
give a jolly Irish comedy skit, which ia
! supplemented by some very excellent clog
| dancing.

Los Angei.es The\tf.r—The part of
Edmond Dantes in >Lonte Cristo is today
almost inseparable from the reputation of
Jamea O'Neill, who, indeed, has played
the role over 3000 times. The exploits of
Dumas' fabulous hero must always com
mand interest. Mr. Oneill opens a three
nights' engagement at the Los Angeles
tneater tonight with Monte Cristo, Miss
Florence I'ockwell heads tire competent
company that will be seen in Mr. O'Neill's
support. The actor's well-known sympa
thetic qualities, deep and musical voice,
artistic power and remarkable force are
said to be more than ever in evidence this
season.

Musical Evening
There was an informal and very pleas
ant gathering at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
J. P. Jackson last night to meet Mr. and
Mrs. W. B. Whitman and Richard J. Fer
rer, whose masterly playing of the violin
has won him an enviable reputation among
musicians. Mr. Ferrer has studied in
Berlin, Dresden and Brussels and is leader
of second violins in Ysaye's orchestra; he
is also a pupil of the great master and pre
pares scholars for his instruction. The
evening was devoted to music and besides
the selections rendered by Mr. Ferrer,
which were a rare musical treat, Mrs.
Whitman's exquisite playing on the guitar
was an additional pleasure. There was a
song by Mrs. Shelly Tolhurat, accompanied
by Mr. Ferrer and Mrs. Whitman, that
gave so much pleasure that a repetition
was demanded. The latter part of the
evening was given up to conversation and
the enjoyment of a very delicious supper.
The guests were Dr. and Mrs. Tolhurat,
Mr, and Mrs. Cosmo Morgan, Mr. and Mrs.
Wilbur Parker, Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Car

home, on West Twenty-eighth street, to
meet her mother, Mrs. Cieorge Wilshire,
and Mrs. Nat Wilshire. The hall and din

they were clustered in the lire place and
stood about in graceful groupings. The
Misses Marix, Bonsall and Mrs. Nat Wil
shire presided in the dining room, and in
here pink was the predominant color. The
table was dainty with violets and carna
tions. Mrs. Carpenter's hospitality was
enjoyed by about fifty ladies.
Whist Party
Mrs. Maurice Meyherg entertained very
delightfully last night at her home on
South Hill with cards. Eight tables were
arranged for whist, and two pretty prizes
were awarded. The lady's was a hand
some Dresden china picture frame and the
gentleman's a small bronze vase. There
were quantities of roses and fleur de lis
