FRIDAY, MARCH 20. 1896.
Emperor Willie and his grandma Vic
toria have come together again and the
embers of passing passion are being ex
tinguished by the tears of reconciliatiou.
Grandma is a very old lady and not very
■pry, but Willie won't be permitted to
muss up his cousin's back yard while she
is on deck.
And now the French government is
afraid that England will think it meant
what it said in that little note protesting
against the British advance up the Nile!
It ia plain that the eagles of France are
not hankering for a scrap with the Brit
ish lion. The latter seems to be getting
bis tail untwisted again.
General Weyler says that he is sur
prised at the charges made against him in
tbe United States. So are the American
people, and horrified, as well. If the
charges are true, he is entitled to rank
With tbe most exalted fiends of time. If
false, he baa been made the victim of some
of the most artistic and comprehensive
lying known to history.
It is apparent from the exhibition made
by the residents of Temple and Victor
streets and Beaudry and Angelina avenues
that the water served them is bad enough
to drive Neal Dow, if he had to partake of
It, to Kentucky bourbon. The evil com
plained of should be remedied immedi
diately. Every hour of delay imperils the
health and possibly tbe lives of thousands
•f people. With the splendid sources of
supply adjacent to Los Angeles, the city
should certainly be able to secure an
abundance of clean, healthful, water.
The San Joaquin valley in the vicinity
ef Tulare seems to have captured the favor
of the train thieving guild. Another at
tempt at holding up a train was added
yesterday morning to the long list of inci
dents of that kind which have taken place
between Fresno and Bakersfleld. The
finale of this latest attempt will be consid
ered highly satisfactory by the traveling
public and the railroad and express com
panies. It is to be hoped that they will all
end tbe same way. In one respect, at
least, a train robber is like an Apache In
dian—he is most admirable when dead.
The damphoolery of the garrulous and
senile senate is infectious. The house
has fallen a victim to it. An interminable
consideration of the absurd resolution to
censure Ambassador Bayard for exercising
his right as a man and an American to
discuss in public an economic question, is
now on. As a consequence, the American
people are to be surfeited with a lot of
warmed over slop about the glories, won
ders and beauties of protectionism,
while the real business of the country
waits. Of course the resolution of
censure will pass, the Republicans being
greatly in majority in the house, although
some self-respecting, fair-minded Republi
cans, like Mr. Draper of Massachusetts,
will vote against its adoption. Its passage
under the circumstances will have no spe
cial significance. As a matter of fact, the
house of representatives hai no right to
meddle with the subject at all. Mr. Bay
ard represents the executive department
of the government, and that department is
the one possessed of the right to censure,
if any censuring is to be done.
"Colonel" Dan Bcrns, the manager of
Mr. Estee's latest political defeat, has
wired to the world the intelligence that he
has struck the richest body of ore yet
found in his Candelaria mine. This ore,
according to the electrical message, runs
80 per cent gold and 70 per cent Stewart
and Jones, or, rather, silver, and bears
abundant evidence of being similar to the
Corastock minerals. There will prob
ably be some differences of opin
ion in California about the mer
its of the "colonel's" telegraphic state
ment. Maybe he has "struck it rich"
again, or maybe he has only struck an
idea, a political idea, and the story that
came via the telegraph poles may he but
an essential part of that idea. The mes
sage conveying the tale of discovered
wealth may not be wholly unrelated to
California politics. The contest between
Dan and the Spreckels family for Ihe con
trol of the Republican party of this state
has fairly opened, and the resourcefulness
of both sides is being tested to the utmost.
It is possible that the "colonel'" intends to
lessen the stampede to the Spreckela bar
rel by diverting the mob !oa Mexican lead.
It is at any rate certain that the alleged
strike will be a subject of absorbing inter
est in the resorts where San Francisco Re
publicans do the turn.
COMIIfG HOTEL MEN
Of more than passing importance is Ihe
convention of the Hotel Men's Mutual
Benefit association, which occurs hero
during April. This organization is com
posed of the leading hotel men of the
United States nnd some eight hundred of
tbe members will join t„e excursion to Log
Angeles. Their stay ir* Southern Califor
nia will extend over a period of ten days—
aa ample time in which to see all this in
comparable region. The local hotel men
are preparing to give the visitors a royal
reception and to make their stay with us
one continual round of pleasure. Not only
will the hotel mem on their return, be
prepared to dilate upon the beau
ties of this country, to expatiate
upon their handsome treatment and to
send us thousands of tourists who now go
to Europe, but they will have an opportu
nity of getting a knowledge of our fruit
and vine products. The hotel people are
the greatest consumers of fruits and wine
that go into the open market, and if thoy
are impressed with the excellence of our
products it will be of the utmost benefit to
Southern California. Tins is a matter in
which all our people are i'l'eresled and the
heartiost co-operation should be given
the local hotel men in their efforts
to provide proper entertainment for
the visitors. As an evidence of
how other people look upon the import
ance of this matter, it may be remarked
that the other day a representative of a
leading brand of champagne arrived from
tho east and requested the horor of pre
senting the committee with a couple of
thousand of dollars' worth of wine to be
used at the banquet which w ill be given tho
visiting hotel men. By all means let us
show the visitors our best side and uphold
the hands and further the efforts of the
local hotel men in every way.
BILL'S BOODLE CAMPAIGN
The allegation made by Ambassador
Bayard that protectionism is a prolific
source of corruption, is the one that seems
to make the llesh of the protectionist
quiver. It hits tiie tenner spots. The his
tory of every presidential and congres
sional campaign since the war bears ample
testimony of tire correctness of Mr. Bay
ard's conclusions and tho campaign that
has already commenced is to richly sup
plement this testimony. Tlie trades and
dickers that have for their object
the election of a president and
congress pledged to a perversion
«.f the power of taxation in order that the
few may, under the color of law, rob the
many, have commenced. It is notorious
that a large sum of money has already
been spent to secure for McKinley the
nomination at St. Louis. The New York
World is authority for the statement that
$100,000 has thus far been expended in
this noble cause. The rapidity with which
the tarifllte is capturing the delegations
from southern states tells a tale of
dollar planting. It is pretty well known to
the people by this time, and es
pecially to such as have lived south of
Mason and Dixon's line, that the influ
ences which create Republican conven
tions in that sectiou are moved only by one
or more of three considerations —the prom
ise of retention in cilice, the promise- of ap
pointment to ofQee and a liberal distribu
tion of the coin of the realm. As the men
dealt with are not now in office the first
consideration is unavailable, so the other
two are being worked by the apostle of
transplanted Mongolianism with skillful
expediency and flattering su-cess.
The commander of the McKinley cam
paign is Mark Hanna, a Cleveland iron
king, and he is hustling among the benefi
ciaries of protectionism with an energy
and an ability that almost gives the other
Republican presidential candidates nightly
nightmares. Within the last few weeks
letters have been sent to prominent steel,
iron and coal men all over Pennsyl
vania, Ohio and Illinois, asking
for contributions "at once towards
a fund of $1250,000," which is
badly required to assure McKinley dele
gates from states that are noiv doubtful.
Thus the fat is being fried out of tiie pets
of protection. And the recompcti3e for
the fat that the pets are parting with will
be what? It will be the pledge that if
McKinleyism is successful at the polls the
tariff laws will be so arranged that the
masses will be compelled to pay a
greater tribute than ever before
to the greed and avarice of
the individual and corporate monopolist.
It is here that the corruption of protection
enters.
To this campaign carried on with capital
secured by pledging the taxing power of
the government, the other Republican
candidates have given heed aud though
they do not talk for publication, except in
one instance, about the subject, they have
said to intimates that "there are millions
of dollars at work for McKinley." The
exception noted ia Senator Cu'lom of Illi
nois who has thus declared himself in a
letter to a friend:
"The McKinley forces a-e organized all
over ray state. They have their agents
tramping around organizing McKinley
clubs and doing anything in their power to
make tlie state solid for McKinley. They
have renewed their elforts since my name
was presented at my own home as a can
didate for president.
There has been a large amount of money
spent in Illinois by McKinley workers, and
it is not easy to break up the sencmes
which have been set up for him. They
have been at work for more than two years
and havC been very actively at work for
the past two mouths.
In my opinion McKinley is less qualified
for the ollice than any other conspicuous
candidate. He has less courage, less
knowledge of national and international
aifairs than either of tha other.
Somehow people have got the notion
that he alone is responsible for the so
called McKinley tarill; that he made it
himself, aud that he alone brought about
reciprocity. The truth is that McKinley
fought reciprocity with all the force he
had until forced to surrender.
ShxlßX M. Cullom.
And yet some people, who loudly pro
fess to believe in purity and patriotism,
will champion McKinley.

Then Is Now No Further Necessity for
Wasting Time In Searching for tha News
In Back-Number Newspapers—The Herald
Presents It All In Compact Form
Life is short and uncertain, and no one
nowadays can afford the time necessary to
search for and strip the actual news from
the verbiage with which it is associated in
the ordinary blanket sheet. It is no longer
necessary to wade through columns of ab
solutely unnecessary detail in order to
leant what is going on about one. Those
who appreciate the presentation of news
in a condensed and intelligent form, tread
from tbe cumbersome methods of a rapid
ly vanishing past, and distinctively up to
date in its scope, ahould subscribe for
The Herald.
This great journal prints the news. It
is never scooped. In its columns may be
found the world's happenings presented in
such a concise and condensed form that it
is a pleasure and not a pain to peruse
them. In The Herald you will glean all
the news in a few minutes. Compare it
with any other California newspaper in
the price and the quality of its contents
and general makeup.
Why pay nearly twice the amount for an
inferior journal? On and after April Ist
The Herald will cost but 50 cents per
month, iv Los Angeles and Southern Cali
fornia towns, delivered by carrier, or $5
per year by mail. Branch olllces are es
tablished in all the important towns in
Southern California, from which it is de

is not convenient, send $5 aud receive it
every day by mail for one year.
This reduction, which will make Tas
HERALD the cheapest morning dally news
paper on the Pacific coast, will go into
effect the first of April.
This is an era of cheap newspapers
throughout the east, and the proprietors of
The Herald have determined to give the
people of Southern California all the ad
vantages enjoyed by eastern readers. The
Sunday editions of The Hkf.ald will be
especially notable and excellent, and will
challenge comparison with those issued by
any other western newspaper.
The Herald's battery of Mergenthaler
typesetting machines will soon be ineffec

on a bright, neat, new, clean dress of type

HENRY CLEWS' LETTER
New York, March 14, 1896.
In Wall street there is little change in
the tone ami volume of business. In in
vestment securities the movement is
healthy, hut in tlie speculative list trans
actions are fitful and governed by the
changing tactics of professional operat
ors. The general situation remains sound
as to undertone, but languid as to oper
ations.
The attitude of the bear element in spec
ulation is significant. There is no persist
ency in their operations. They sell cau
tiously and cover upon small profits,
i which shows a lack of confidence in their
position. On tlie other hand, the bulls
are inactive. They have full confidence
in tha general situation and in the pros
pects of an ultimately higher market, but
are held buck by a sort of hesitation
Which is not easily accounted for. Prudent
operators are always slow to undertake
large transactions in the absence of a dis
tinctly speculative spirit. The larger con
ditions may warrant confidence and the
drift may be plainly in the direction of
higher values; but they hesitate to under
take a campaign until there is a distinct
! "outside" feeling that a boom Is at hand,
i That is the attitude of the larger street
: holders of slocks at the present moment,
j This hesitation is undoubtedly oncour
; aged by business conditions which are
i largely special to this ciiy. In most trades
I here there is considerable complaint of
| dullness antl more or show of a pessi
j mlstio spirit. Merchants' sales are not
j proportioned to iheir slocks, and buyers
i see that something is the matter among
the distributers, and are therefore disposed
t > puraus a hand-to-mouth policy of buying.
All this is in contrast to the conditions and
the feeling existing in tbe interior. From
the large western cities come accounts
of a satisfactory state of business, and
Chicago reports a he.d thy activity. So, at
the south. Conditions appear to be unusu
ally healthy; the steamships and railroads
connecting with that section ate having a
very satisfactory traffic, and the largo in
creases in the earnings of the western
roads show that, in that section also, there
is really healthy movement of merchan
dise. In brief, there can be no question
that the condition of general trade is far
more satisfactory throughout the south and
wi st than ut this cenler. This contrast
with New York is very singular, and needs
some explanation. Why is it that this city
is moody and complaining, while tile sec
tions from which it draws i:s trade are
prosperous and satisfied? It is not to be
denied that New York is tubject to a con
stantly increasing competition from the
western centers for the distributing
trade. Nor is there any doubt that cities
like Chicago and St, Louis are rapidly
extending their hold upon that branch of
business. Tho Increase of population
would in some measure account for that
Increase: but does that factor explain suf
ficiently < "is doubtful. New England
is now undoubtedly sending direct to the
' west large quantities of manufactures
which formerly were distributed through
New York agents. Such a drift is not cal
culated to create a cheerful tone at this
center. Equally, our trade with certain
sections of .he south is being attacked by
the'active distributing bousesoftbe west;
so that, to some extent, we are meeting
witii new competition, if not losing busi
ness, in that direction. Then it is to be
remembered 'hat New York occupies a po
i suion of peculiar responsibility as an inter
i mediary between the industrial interest
| and tlie jobbing interest of the country. A
I very large amouut of canital is employed
■ in rendering that kind of service; and
in the performance of the serv
! ice there is some considerable
' risk, arising from advancos upon goods,
t loans to manufacturers and investments
'1 in mills to which they have become un
willingly committed. If New England
manufacturers are willing to sell direct to
• western jobbers antl thereby save the cost
i of New ZOrk intermediaries, so much the
i worse fur die great llrst-hands trade of
this city. Moreover, (his particular in
terest is exposed to much of the risk at
• ieodiug a lack of due adjustment between
i the production of certain large industries
i and tbe demand for consumption, Tnere
> ! have been threatening derangements in
! that relation. For years past, tne improve
ments iv mechanical power and iv Work'
• ing machinery have been carrying this
I country, as well tin others, towards a pro
t dilution in excess of the possibilities of cur
rent consumption. There was acheck to
that process in the great panic of 1393.
i which served as an offset to that crisis of
t no small value. But the machinery we
. then had we have still. Its owners are
anxious to keep it employed; and upon
every appearance of an improvement in
demand they are liable to ruih i nto an over
supply of goods. The last twelve months
of improvement lias already produced
a glut of stocks in some Important lines of
uoods. The commission houses have to
bear the brunt of the consequences, such
as urgency to realise, necessity lo shade
price. and holding back of buyers to get
concessions in prices.
Under the circumstances here described,
certain large interests in this city are sub
jected to a pressure calculated to produce
anything but a cheerful feeiing. in spite of
the hopeful tone that prevails in other
cities and sections; and those conditions
are to be viewed as largely accounting for
the exceptional tone that now pervade*
local business circles. Men are so consti
tuted that, in the effect upon mental tone,
an ounce of pessimism ie equal to a pound
of optimism.
It is worth the consideration of Wall
street how far a local depression of this
characler should t>3 permitted to affect top
value of investments which draw iheir in
come not from New York but from every
part of the country. The local interests
temporarily beclouded will find their own
ways of remedying their obstacles to busi
ness; and, in the meantime, investors will
learn to estimate the value of railroad
securities by the state of the country
through which they run. To weak eyes,
objects take color from their surroundings;
and so the New York Stock Market largely
takes its tone from the spirit of the New
York trade. This is a narrow judgment;
and it may take some time to broaden the
outlook of met, on 'change. Hut sagacious
operators will not be long in discovering thnt
beyond the horizon of the metropolis,
there is a true revival of business among
70,000,000 of enterprising people, and
that consequently all investments depend
ent upon these outside sections are des
tined to a steady improvement in their
value.
All we have previously said as to the de
pressing ellccts of political agitation and
congressional folly upon i lie flnancla} mar
kets may lie again repeated. Congress ims
given itself to tho creation of sensations
aid deceptions for effect upon the coming !
party conventions and the elections to fqf j
low. What they are prepared lo do for j
those purposes is shown in ihe dangerous i
folly of tho action of both houses on the
Cuba question. When the legislative j
chambers can he prostituted to i
such dangerous methods of playing ,
politics, there is no certainty of what may
not happen. With any nation better able i
to defend itself than Spain, tho Cuba rtso- !
lutions would have probably precipitated a I
costly war; and, in spite of the protests of j
au outraged public opinion, there is no I
saying to what lengths of danger this I
same playing with lire may not yot bo
carried. Jingoism, or rather tlie attempt
to creute it, has become a real public dan
ger—so serious that nothing short of tho
adjournment of congress will abate the
public auxioty. This ia one of the factors
that ia preventing the revival of confidence
in trade circles and in the tinaneial inter
ests that center in Wall street.
Henry Clews.
Perilous Times In Germany
Accordiny to a correspondent in Berlin.
English residents in Germany have found
it specially necessary of late to be guarded
in their remarks about political events
when in public places. He slates that to
his knowledge one Englishman was haled
off to the police court for an alleged indis
creet reference to the emperor, uttered
while about to sit down to dinner, and had
to pay a fine of 10 marks by way ot hors
d'oeuvre.
A story which is, no doubt, ben trovato
was then being told in the English clubs.
An Englishman was taxed by a German
police officer with publicly using an un
complimentary epithet wilh regard to the
emperor. "You are quite mistaken, I as
sure you." said the Englishman. "I was
talking of the emperor of China 1" "Xein,
Has geht niclit," retorted the official.
"There is only one emperor wdio is—well,
who does such things.—Westminster Ga
zette.

An Important Decision
One of the most interested persons in the
United States supreme court room as Mr.
Justice Harlan lieean to read the opinion
of the court in the Stanford case was a
lady who was so anxious to hear every
word of it that she stood up ar.d leaned
forward. As the last words of the decision
were read affirming the action of the courts
in California her face brightened up, and
as she turned to leave the court room she
remarked audibly, "Thank God for that,
for it will be good news for Helen; now I
will telegraph her." In explaining her re
marks afterward, she said: "One of the
professors of the Stanford university was
engaged to be married to my niece, but he
hesitated about getting married until that
ease was decided, for, if it went against
Mrs. Stanford, the university would be
greatly damaged, and he would be out of a
position." Tho telegram was sent, and
three hours afterward came this reply:
"Thanks for your telegram. We wiil be
married May 14."—Washington Evening
