The people of Ventura city apparent

number. The burden of championing
the cause of the masses will now be left
to publication that are not advocates
but just plain newspapers.
That MeKinley boom keeps right on
acquiring—punctures. The latest aper
ture Is mad" by the A. P. A. Accord
ing to the Associated Press dispatches
published yesterday the chairman of
the national executive committee of
the A. P. A. declares that his organiza
tion Is "fornlnst", the man of the tar

Louis convention it will look as though
the moths had been eating it.
CouncMman Snyder lost a brilliant
opportunity of showing how different

Issue of that "double harbor" resolution
when the minutes of the previous meet
ing came up for approval. The place
tor a councilman on council day is in
the council chamber.|
The members of the city council were
SO absorbed yesterday in thinking
about that resolution of sympathy with
the Southern Pacific Santa Monica
scheme passed Monday a week ago.
that they forgot to reconsider the mat
ter and set themselves right again
with the people. But when election day
rolls around once more the absorption
of the people will not be of the kind
to beget absentrnindedness in so far as
these councilmen are concerned. As a
matter ot fact, it is not the business of
the city council to adopt resolutions of
any kind regarding the harbor contro
versy, but if the body was bent upon ex
pressing itself on the subject lt should
have given forth an utterance that
would accord with the sentiments en
tertained by the public of this city.
Instead of doing this, it adopted a reso
lution that outrageously misrepresents
local public opinion. The members re
sponsible for this abuse of official sta
tion have set loose a chicken that is
bound to come home to roost at amost
inopportune time —for them.
SEED DISTRIBUTION
The most recent scandal connected
with the charity seed business is a
charge by a Chicago firm that the
seed contract was not properly award
cd. The dispatches state that this seed
firm claims that a prejudice against
lt existed in the mind of Secretary
Morton because they had been lobbying
to have the seed distribution re-estab
lished. The brazen effrontery of this
confession reminds one of E. J. Bald
win's answer to Miss Ashley's suit
against him for seduction.
We' have in the seed firm's attack and
confession of active Interest an ex
planation of the bitterness and per
sistency of the fight to keep up the
paternalist practice of sending out
seeds. It was not only congressmen
who sold their seed allowance who
were interested, but also a seed
selling firm that seems to think that
its reliability has been damaged to the
extent of 1100.000 ln not getting a good
contract. This seed distribution bus
iness has long been known to be a
waste of energy and money and per
fectly useless to the farmers. Besides
this, it has been one long scandal in
the seed prices, seed quality, seed quan
tity and seed distribution. One of The
Herald staff, while passing through a
farming district in this county asked
a number of farmers If they had ever
received seeds from the government.
He was unable to find one who had en-
Joyed this government bounty. The
action of congress in refastening their
discreditable petty steal on the coun
try when a courageous secretary of
agriculture had cut it off, is even a
greater reflection on the independence
and integrity of this congress than its
action on our harbor or on the fund
ing bill.
The Herald would be glad to hear
from our farmers as to when and what
amounts of government seeds they have
received and the char acter of the same.
ESSENTIAL DIFFERENCES
One would Imagine from the hulla
baloo being raised by the press and poli
ticians of the Republican party that the
latter is the only political organization
on the face of the United States, and
that the people are simply waiting for
the St. Louis convention to nominate
a candidate, after which they will call
the thing settled. But the fact that
the Republican party at present enjoys
a monopoly of political noise by no
means indicates that it has a monopoly
of votes. It is in the nature of the Re
publican party to make a racket. It
has always been a "whoopla" party
addicted to sprcadeagleism and claim
ing everything in sight, as well as a
good deal out of view. It is a party
that rests on personality rather than
principle, and noise, flamboyancy and
bumptious assertivencss always distin
guish the former from the latter. Such
an organization can have no perma
nent, unalterable creed, for it worships
men rather than principles, and subor
dinates in consequence the latter to
the former. The Democratic party on
the other hand is made up, in the lan
guage of the scholarly Parton, of the
"many who suffer and the few who
think," and is engrossed in the thought
ful consideration of measures instead of
men. It turns to the latter only as the
Instrumentalities through which the
measures it believes in may be ad
vanced. Its enthusiasm for a man is
entirely dependent on the degree to
which he embodies in himself the best
thought of the party. It builds Its
platforms to suit the doctrines ot the
party and not to harmonize with the
needs of any individual, no matter how
strong or popular his personality. It
is not much given to the selection for
leadership of "magnetic" or brilliant
men, but as a rule picks Its exponents
among men of sound character and con
viction. Such a party is never as effi
cient In the disturbance of the politi
cal peace as one that becomes absorbed
in the contests of individuals for place,
but ultimately in the natural order of
things it, is the party that will tri
umph, for ln the end the people will rec
ognize that In a republic ideas and
not men govern, and the party that
stands for Ideas and not the mere ap
petite of Individuals for office will en
dure in power.
In this collection the following from
the New York Journal Is eminently
sound. The Journal says:
"The political destiny of this country
Is to be determined by voters, not by
shouters for McKinley's sovereign cure
for poverty or by admirers of Reed's
non - committal availability. Among
these voters there are about six mil
lions of Democrats who will not vote
for any candidate who may win the
delegates or trick the national Repub
lican convention for the presidential
nomination. In the two preceding
presidential elections the Democrats
cast Hve and a half millions of votes, a
majority of 98,000 and 380,000 respect
ively, over the Republican vote. Those
votes were cast rather for principle
than for the man. Mr. Cleveland is not
magnetic, but he inspired the confi
dence of the people and received the
full vote of the Democratic party.
"The voters of that party do not get
excited for men, because they are anx
ious to assert the principles of taxation
without robbery of the consumers, and
sound finance without Injustice to any
section of the country or any class of
the people. This contention for prin
ciples is the antithesis of the Republi
can contention for a candidate without
principles; or, at best, a candidate
whose principles are concealed. The
plan of the Damocrats is to call a con
vention to agree on a platform, and
then select a statesman to Illustrate,
and, if elected, to assert the principles
of that platform. The plan of the Re
publicans is to get the nomination, by
unfair means If necessary, and then
concoct a platform with delusive prom
ises to every faction from which they
hope to get votes. This differentiation
explains why one party is noisy, while
the other party is simply waiting for
the convention at Chicago to nominate
the candidate who will, if fairness and
reason triumph, he the next president
of these United States."
THE SWEENEYS
A family of twelve persons, all bear
ing the surname Sweeney, arrived in
this city yesterday afternoon from
Sandwich, ill., by the Burlington excur
sion. Out of a total of twenty-one
persons constituting the excursion
party over 50 per cent bore the pat
ronymic, Sweeney. There was Mr.
Dan Sweeney, and there was Mrs Dan
Sweeney, and there were Maggie and
Kate and Lizzie and Robert and Annie
and Ella and Maud and Charlie and
Olive and Hattie—all Sweeneys—every
one of thorn. The Herald has not the
pleasure of knowing this distinguished
family, but it has no hesitancy in wel
coming its members to Southern Cali
fornia and to Los Angeles. Whether
as visitors only, coming here to see the
manifold beauties of the Pacific South
land and then return to the great com
monwealth of Illinois, or whether a
fixed addition to this city's population—
In either case they are, indeed, wel
comed. In the mere statement of their
arrival there are indications for think
ing that they are here to reside perma
nently. The Herald sincerely hopes
that the supposition may be correct. To
the Burlington people It may be said
that, taking into consideration the fact
that the family came from Sandwich,
and taking Into further consideration
the family's numbers, the Sweeneys
constitute the meat of the excursion.

MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL
FIRST STEPS IN A PROPOSED EDUCA
TIONAL DEPARTURE
Director Pitman Of/ere an Important Reselu
tion—Tha Teachers' Committee Makes
Mora Assignments—A One-Day Holiday
During Fiesta Week
The board of education last night
took the first steps towards the estab
lishment at the beginning of the next
school year in September of a separate
manual training or industrial educa
tion department.
Director Pittman offered the follow
ing:
Whereas the school year Is now draw
ing to a close and we find that by a
careful, economical administration of
the affairs of the school department the
various appropriations for school pur
poses are ample to do the work contem
plated by the law, we believe the time
has come for the further development
of our schools, and we look forward to
the early introduction of an industri
al department.
Therefore be it resolved, that at the
opening of the schools next September
we establish a separate department, to
be known as "the manual training or
industrial education department," and
that the superintendent of schools be
Instructed to take such steps and ga
ther such data as will enable the de
partment to intelligently establish this
blanch, and that the committee on
industrial education inform themselves
as to the needs and get prices on the
material to be used in this department.
The above was adopted unanimously
without debate.
The teachers' committee recommended
now assignments as follows: Helen C.
Reilly to Boyd street. Eva Milligan to
Ann street. Ota Flint to Sixth street,
Grace Barnar to Oastellar street and
Edith Haverstick to the San Pedro
street schools. Tho resignations of
Elsie Milner and Clara Lillibridge as
teachers were accepted, and that a
recommendation, be granted to Carrie
NewkTbrn. The report was aodpted as
a whole.
The building committee commitee rc
ommendlng that the offer of the
Brooklyn Hei K hts Sunday school of
$110 for the old Macy street school
building he accepted with tbe under
standing that it be permitted to remain
where it is. The report was adopted.
The finance committee reported biils
aggregating $2382.68, and they were or
dered to he paid.
The city clerk reported formally the
annexation of Roscdale. Pico Heights
and Vernon, the board of education to
govern itself accordingly. In the same
connection County Superintendent
Riley notified the board officially re
linquishing control of all the school
property in the districts annexed, and
transferring to the city board jurisdic
tion over the teachers doing duty in
the districts referred to. Director Pit
man, chairman of the special commit
tee having the matter in charge, re
ported that the differences between the
city and county school authorities re
garding the control of the property in
the outside districts will in a few days
be adjusted, as previously published in
these columns.
The statistical report of Ihe superin
tendent for the month ending April 10
showed: Boys enrolled In the schools,
6307; girls enrolled. t)67S; total,
A\ e la ge number belonglng.ll,642; aver
age daily attendance. 11,042: percent of
attendance, .93. New pupils entered—
Boys. 216: girls. 235; total, 464.
Superintendent Foshay reported ln
answer to questions that indigent chil
dren are always supplied with school
books as soon as it became known that
they could not supply themselves.
The board accepted an Invitation to
participate in the flag-raising at the
Hayes street school and the 2Sth
street school on the afternoon of April
17th. and at the Orafton-street school
tomorrow afternoon.
The board reconsidered its action
taken at the last meeting, and Instead
of half-day schools throughout the
whole of next week there will be full
school sessions on Monday and Tues
day of next week, and no school on Fri
day, which is children's day.
The ventilating machinery ln the
High school was ordered to be discon
tinued on April 23d, and then the board
adjourned.
Dead Right
The Los Angeles Herald has installed
a number of linotype machines in Its
composing room, and presents an im
proved appearance typographically.
The Herald maintains editorially its
high standard of excellence, handling
local topics with vigor and discoursive
excellence, and locally it is bright, crisp
and newsy. Good luck to The Herald.

A Subject of Sincere Congratulation
Is the non-possession of an actively sen
sitive nervous system. There are hosts of
people who, though free from any posi
tive nervous disease are set, so to speak,
on "tender hooks" by slight noises or an
unexpected occurrence of the smallest mo
ment. Hostetter's Stomach Hitlers is of
Inexpressible benefit to the nervous. Ta
ken before bedtime it insures tranquil,
health-yielding slumber, and used between
meals it restores that sound digestion usu
ally denied to nervous Invalids. It is also
eminently beneficial to sufferers from
rheumatism, malaria, debility, constipa
tion and kidney troubles. Persona falling
off in the matter of appetite, flesh and the
ability to sleep soundly should resort at
once to this superb nervine, alterative
and tonic. For nearly half a century lt
has been a leading medicine and has re
ceived the highest tributes from the medi
cal profession. Use it and be convinced.
RUPTURE
Professor Joseph Fandrey, European
specialist, formerly of Berlin. Germany,
now permanently located at 821 South
Broadway, l.os Angeles, is a practical
rupture specialist and manufactures
the latest patent trusses (his own In
vention) for curing rupture; also cor
sets for curvature of the spine, female
supporters, etc. Each case will be made
to fit. Over forty almost helpless cases
of from two to twenty years standing,
some twice broken, are today cured and
have no more u;ie for truss. Patients
from two to seventy-five years of age.
Information and testimonials will be
sent on application.
Stole a Coat
Frank McCann, alias Wilson, was bagged
by Detectives Bradiah and Steele yesterday

McCann stole a coat from a rack in front
of 107 South Main afreet and sold his
plunder in a second-hand store. On a de
scription he waa taken in and will stand

THE POLITE WORLD
At the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. Lav
enthal on South Hope street there w as
a reception held Sunday and Monday
afternoons from 2 to ti on both days.
The occasion was in honor of the an-
nouncement of their daughter's en
gagement to Mr. Voorsanger of Phil
adelphia. Tbe house was elaborately
decorated With a profusion of flowers
and green. Portieres of smllax held by
garlands of flowers furnished its door
ways, In the hall potted ferns and
palms added to the floral effects. Roses
completely hid the mantel in the
drawing room and in tite bay window
was a perfect mound of carnations and
roses that formed a charming back
ground for those receiving the many
guests that were constantly coming
and going during the afternoon. Pink
and green shades softened the lights
and green was used exclusively in the
dining room. Candelabra green shad
ed lighted the tables and about the
room were quantities of flowers, some
fashioned into wreaths that graced the
picture frames. The Misses Laventha]
assisted the bride-elect ir\ receiving.
Light refreshments were served and
music added to the enjoyment of the
delightful hours.
The Cradle Song.i of Nations
The Cradle Songs of Nations take
place Tuesday and Wednesday even

interest, as all the costumes were im
ported from Central America. A live
monkey, parrot and a littie Central
American baby will be in the tableau.
It- is wished to be borne 1n mind that
the cradle songs are for the Free Kin
dergarten association of Los Angeles,
which brings in the waifs from the
lowest slums of tite city. Small in
fants of all nationalities, too young to
attend the public schools, are in this
Institution.
This association is one of the greatest
charities on the coast. The unspeak
able benefit of the same to the lowest
classes can hardly be expressed by
mere words, and few people seem to
realize that such a great blessing as
the Free Kindergarten exists In our
midst.

Mr. and Mrs. Ezra Slimsnn were
taken completely by surprise last night
at their pretty home on AVest Adams

AT THE THEATERS
LOS ANGELES THEATER—There waa
a brilliant audience at the Los Angeles
theater last night to listen to the sweet
singing of Miss Anna roller, who since
her last appearance here has won her
laurels in Kurope. Miss Fuller was as
sisted by some of the best local talent,
antl a very enjoyable concert was the re
sult.
Miss Fuller receivod the hearty welcome
of an old friend. One of tho boxes had to
bo converted into a temporary flower store
to hold the many tributes which the
vocalist's admirers had brought. Miss
fuller's voice has gained in strength, in
breadth and purity of tone; her method is
easy and graceful; her enunciation is
charmingly distinct, and either in florid
aria or simple ballade, her expression
is excellent. Ample proof of her
versatility of method was furnished in her
selections list night, which included
Schubert's < Irctchen am Spinnrade. Han
del's Oh Had I Jtibal's Lyre, Rubinstein's
Xuleika aud a number of ballads. The
perfect simplicity and profound feeling
of her rendering of My Old Kentucky
Home completely captivated the audi
ence, but the setting of I Dreamt I Dwelt
nroved beyond her proper compass.
Tite Erauss string quartet by no means
did themselves justice in their first selec -
tion. but quite redeemed their reputation
in Tschaikowaky's andante and a sere
nade by Mnskowsky. J. Bond Francisco
was heard to excellent advantage in a de
licious little berceuse which he gave as an
encore to Paganini's difficult and intri
cate concerto No. 1. Quite a feature of
the concert was the delichtful violincello
playing of Ludwig Opid, who made a most
favorable impression and received a well
merited encore.

THE BURRAXK -Strange to say. the
production of the ever-popular H. M. S.
I'inatore failed to attract a large house
last night. The Carleton opera company
ia providing moat generous bills, and be
sides Gilbert and Sullivan's first great suc
cess, the pleasing operetta. The Charity
Girls, was again performed. The Pinafore
cast ia an evenly strong one, and the
chorus of the company, reinforced as it is
in this opera by a number of the
principals, does some most excellent
work. Rena Atkinson is an entirely
charming Josephine. Clara Wisdom quite
a satisfactory "little" Butterctm, Tom
Ricketts a very droll Sir Joseph Porter,
and Jay C. Taylor sang the enticing part
of Ralph Rackstraw admirably. Mr. Carle
ton had apparently quite recovered from
the indisposition which compelled him to
forego appearing in The Bohemian Girl on
Sunday night, and his Captain Corcoran
was a capital impersonation. W. H. Ham
ilton had a chance to display his powers of
comedy as Dick Deadoye and scored a
great success. The same double bill will
be given this and tomorrow evenings.

ORPHEDM—Tite standing room sign
was out at the Orpheum last night, and
there was very little standing room left—
in fact, it was one of the largest houses of
tite season. A splendid vaudeville bill
was presented, openi eg with the celebrated
Vertellis, whose pictures of five royal mar»
ionettcs and ribbon illusion suggested a
knowledge of the black art. Carter and
Gaywell gave a very clever Irish sketch,
and Basco and Roberts indulged in their
inimitable and mirth-provoking grotes
querie. The marvelous feats of balancing
by the Klns-Nera and Gertie Carlisle's
singing came in for a full meed of appre
ciation.
The forty brothers, who are new to Los
Angeles, gave a splendid act, winding it up
with a laughter-evoking wreatling bout,
and demonstrated that they were kings of
the horizontal bar, introducing grotesque
features that convulsed the audience. The
Orpheus quartette—Los Angeles boys—
made an emphatic his, and the Andersons
cleverly closed one of the best bills of at
traction that has been given at the Or
pheum for a season.

HAZARD'S PAVILION-Tbis place was
crowded last evening at the initial per
formance of the Elleford company in the
melodrama. True Devotion. The piece is
one that takes with a western audience,
being a thrilling story of mining camp life,
with numerous schemes of villainy and
counter schemes of brave rencuers and
clever maids, so woven together as to pro
duce a number of exciting situations, and
the whole ending in the satisfactory old
style way, with villainy thwarted and the
happy lovers sweetly united at the close.
W. j. Elleford as Jack Davis, the daring
stage driver, essayed his part ex
ceptionally well. Miss Jessie Norton, one
of San Francisco's old-time favorites, ap
peared to good advantage aa Nugget Nell,
the pet of the camp. The hero of the
play, Budd Johnson, was creditably repre
sented by Lorimer Johnstone. John How
ard, as the Chinaman, made a good
comedian. The Deacon, as portrayed by
J. J. Shambrook, was one of the best rep
resented characters on the bill. Altogeth
er, the piece was pleasing and meritori
ously given. Tonight Oliver B. Byron's
comedy, Inside Track, will be presented.
