THURSDAY. JUNK 4, 1806
The anniversary edition of the Boyle
Heights Criterion is quite an attractive
sheet, the numerous half-tone cuts with
which it is illustrated are very good, and
the publication should be an interesting
one to the people of the charming part
of the city in which it is published.
A frequent and just complaint has
been made of late that the street elec
tric lights are turned off before the
moonshine is turned on, leaving a mar
gin of between one and two hours of
darkness almost as thick as McKlnley's
Bilenee'on the money question. This is
a matter which should receive the im
mediate attention of the proper author
ities. The city is entitled to artificial
illumination up to the very moment
that the illumination furnished by na
ture makes the former unnecessary. It
may be that the almanac used by the
lighting company was made up with
out reference to the movements of the
moon, or that the man in the latter has
shifted his hours of appearing. Any
way, the electric light and the evening
luminary do not at present get close
enough together for the purposes of cor
dial salutation.
The very satisfactory news comes that
Representative Hermann of Oregon has
been defeated in the contest he made for
re-election to tlie house. Mr. Hermann
is one of the members of congress who
after professing well nigh undying feal
ty to the cause of San Pedro, stood In ,
with the Huntington scheme to have the
conferees on the river and harbor bill
. name the members of the commission
whose duty it will be to decide upon the
location of the deep sea harbor for Los
Angeles. He knew the reason for Hun- |
tington's insistence on this poii t—that
the arch lobbyist fears that President
Cleveland will appoint commissioners
beyond improper influences—and yet
despite his numerous expressions of
friendliness for Sun l'edro he, up to the
last, acted with the conferees willing to
undo the prospects of tlie site chosen by
former boards of government engineers
and the people, by packing the commis
sion to suit the requirements of Hun
tington. The best place for the Her
man;, brand of statesmen is not in con
gress.
UNTIMELY GAYETY
The New York Tribune seems to think
the solicitude of the business men of tlie
country regarding the Republican pres
idential nominee a most appropriate
subject for facetlousness. The idea
that men vitally interested In tlie pros
perity of the country should be a bit par
ticular about the financial soundness of
a candidate for the presidency strikes it
, as being just funny. But the fact that
this editorial gayety is huidly justified
by the contents of the Tribune's news
columns is thus pointed out by the New
York Post:
Editorially the Tribune continues to
be in a state of great hilarity over the
anxiety of business men to know what
kind of a president the Republicans ar,
going to elect. The juke la really too
killin. You dear distressed bankers
and merchants and investors, it expos
tulates with shaking sides, don't you
see how mirth-provoking you are? Bui
its news columns sponge out every word
of its editoiial page, lt has to reporl
"crazy Populist finance" as "likely to
pass in the senate," bus to record the
votes of twelve Republican senators In
favor of a bill to break down the only
law which now stands between us and ;i
50-cent dollar, and to print the passion
ate cry of Senator Sherman, thanking
c.od that the president of the United
States, no matter what senate or hous.
might do. would veto any such legisla
tion. How truly diverting it is. under
these circumstances, with the threats ol
such repudiating measures hanging over
the country, with the certainty that
there will be an enormous crop of them
In the next congress—what a capital
Joke it Is' that men should want some
assurance that the next president will
stand as firmly against the crazy men as
the present one does! Every day, In
fact makes it more and more necessary
that the next president should be
known of all men to be of strong con
victions and unflinching courage on
every financial question; yet every day
makes it more and more certain that tin
man whom the Republicans are "sure te
elect" has neither convictions nor cour
age. "Crazy Populist Finance"—-but nn
word from McKinley. Repudiation and
panic predicted even by Lodge—but Mc-
Kinley nobly dumb. That is the situa
tion which gives such exquisite point to
the Tribune's quips.
INTERFERING IN CUBA
In an editorial denouncing the Span
ish methods of warfare in Cuba, the
San Francisco Examiner advocates the
interference of the United States in the
hostilities and says "there Is no apparent
reason why the United States does not
take prompt action to that end." Well,
there is "an apparent reason." and it
Is found in the fact that the United
States government was not instituted
for any such purpose as that advocated
by the Examiner and a few other Jour
nals equally mistaken. The government
of this republic Is one of limited and
carefully defined powers, and interfer
ence in domestic affairs of other govern
ments Is not one of them. If the dele
gation of such a power to the federal
government had been made the condi
tion precedent to the formation of the
Union the latter would have remained
unformed.
This government was Instituted for
the purpose of conserving the rightful
interests of its own people, and it has no
constitutional right to Interfere in Cuba
or any other part of the world except
for the sole and urgent purpose of pro
tecting from immediate peril the lives
or property of its citizens. Neither has
it any right to do anything, because of
sentimental considerations, that will Im
; peril the lives or property of Its citizens
! abroad. Hundreds of Americans —
I some resident there and some not —have
j business and property Interests in Cuba
which will be imperiled if this govern
ment interferes directly with the war
fare now raging there or recognizes
: either the belligerency or the alleged mi
i dependence of the Cubans. For every 1
dollar of damage indicted on the prop
! erty of American citizens in Cuba by
i either Spanish or insurgents, the gov
! ernment of Spain Is, according to inter-
I national law, liable, so long as we mind
j our own business. American citizens
have suffered losses as the result of the
I insurrection to the extent of hundreds
lof thousands of dollars, and they will
probably suffer to at least as great an
i extent more, before the end comes. Now,
\ then, the question arises, to whom does
I the United States government owe its
■ duty, the Cuban insurgents or its own
] citizens? A recognition of the reasons
! for the government's existence will
promptly suggest the answer.
There is altogether too much of a ten
dency extant to have the federal gov
ernment drift away from its proper
moorings. This is a dangerous tendency
and is chiefly cultivated by thoughtless
sentimentalists, swashbuckler oratot'3
B.nd pulse feeling editors ignorant of or
I indifferent to the Importance of adher
-1 ing steadfastly to sound principle in af
; fairs of government. There is a. constant
disposition on the part of such people
to have the government do something
I for which lt is not intended or not fitted.
They are invariably moved by consid-
I erations of sentiment or pure expedi-
I ency, and on account of such considera
tions they would ignore constitutions
like usurping dictators and fly In the
, face of sound political principle as
though today were the end of time. If
i the Unjted States government could and
should interfere in Cuba, it could and
; should do the same thing in similar eon
llicts as they occur in other parts of this
continent, or, for that matter, of the
world, for injustice is injustice and in
humanity is inhumanity in Europe,
Asia and Africa Just the same as in
America. Who Is to say where the line
shall be drawn and when? Just how
far is the principle of intervention In the
; concerns of other people to extend and
1 to what extent are we to maintain a war
I footing in order to carry out this prin
, olple?
There has been considerable evidence
to the effect that the Cuban rebels are
not being treated according to the rules
;of civilized warfare. It is also true that
■ there has been a good deal of evidence
going to show that the Spanish have no
monoply of the atrocity business; so it
is probable that honors are not so lop
] sided on that score as is claimed. Hut
j be that as lt may, the Cubans when they
j entered upon their rebellion did so with
j full knowledge of the character and the
1 war methods of the people they rebelled
! against. The treatment they receive now
; cannot be any worse than that accord
ed them before. They were apparent
ly willing to incur these pains and penal
ties as the price of freedom from Span
ish rule and there is absolutely nothing
I to show that they were led into rebellion
jby any hope or belief that the United
j States would directly or indirectly aid
them.
The best thing the American people
can do is to keep the federal govern
ment to its original functions—the ad
justment of the relations between the
different states and the protection, in
their persons and property, of the citi
zens of those states, abroad. It will
have quite enough to do if it accom
plishes these tasks to the satisfaction
of a majority of the people. There can
be no perversion of governmental power,
no venture outside the domain of sound
principle without ultimate disaster to
the masses; no gain of the present can
compensate for the loss that will inevit
ably come in the future.
In view of the fact that there is not
the slightest prospect of the hill prohib
iting bond issues becoming a law—there
being no hope of it passing the house
and an absolute certainty that if it did
the president would veto it—the action
of the senate in adopting the measure
appears like trifling with public credit
and private prosperity. It is the kind
of trilling that is well nigh criminal.
While the mass of people in this country,
being acquainted with the conditions,
will not be alarmed by the bill's passage
in tiie senate, a multitude of foreign In
vestors not so w ell Informed, and some
ultra conservative people at home, ar.
Vary likely to be subject to agitation,
which, to say the least, can do the coun
try no good and may do it conslderabli
harm. Abroad the vote of the senate
'..ill possess a deeper slgnitiea. c. than at
home, for the idea undoubtedly obtaii
there that the senate Is what it was In
tended by the tranters of the constitu
tion to be, the most conservative of the
two houses of congress, and there is
LOS A-TO—IiES H_ltA_l>: THUKSDAY MORNTN"Gr % JXTUTE 4, 1896.
likely to be a feeling that If the higher
body would enact such legislation th>
lower one will certainly concur. It if
with such tomfoolery that the senate
keeps the business of the country at the
verge of the precipice of doubt and dis
trust.
AT THE THEATERS
ORPHEUM—Best bill of the Bcason.
such is the general comment on the show
now- running at this house. It is cer
tainly a splendid aggregation that goes
to make up the program. Ransome, the
ruler of New York, Is the highest sal
aried vaudeville performer on the stage.
Since his lirst appearnce Monday nlghi
he has captured every one who has
heard him. His humor is lrrlslstlbl
and his manner so magneUc that he
keeps the house roaring as long as lie
remains before the lights. Morton and
Mack are equally good In their line.
Their first three evenings' performances
Justifies the reputation they hold of be
ing the leading Irish comedians of tbe
stage. The three Nightons are marvels
of strength. They furnish a splendid
acrobatic turn. Carr and Jordan, trav
esty artists, Charlotte Parry, the charm
ing little mimic, Wood and Shepnrd.
musical comedians, and Watson and Dv
Pre, comedy skotehists, each contribute
a breezy turn.

INSURANCE MEN
Hop* te Fix Up the Union an! Rett* the
Rates
SAN FRANCISCO, June S.—A meet
ing of the Fire Underwriters' union was
held today, and another one vylll be hold
tomorrow, with the object of so amend
ing the constitution that it will receive
the adhesion of the Hartford and Royal
companies. At today's gathering ot the
insurance agents the amendments re
lating to non-board companies adopted
to meet the views of the Phoenix and
the Home were modified In the direction
on non-intercourse of a mild type. This
w as done in spite of a written notillca
tlon from Mr. Belden of the Hartford
that it would be unsatisfactory to his
company. The members of the union
are. however, satislled that his real ob
jection to the constitution is that it pro
vides too liberal compensation for
agents and brokers, and to satisfy It an
amendment in the way of a reduction
will be proposed at tomorrow's meeting.
It is the belief of optimistic Are under
writ ts that its adoption will lead Mr.
Belden to sign the constitution on be
half of the Hartford company, and that
Mr. Watt will join the union for the
Royal. To make any insurance compact
effective the adherence of these com
panies is necessary. The others say that
they are going as far in the way of con
ciliation as Is possible nnd that if Messrs.
Belden and Watt refuse to accept the
olive branch they will be regarded as
common enemies by the other general
agents.
IN HARD LUCK
Found Wandering About the Streets Sick and
Hungry
In the small hours of yesterday morn
ing, about 4 oclock. Officer Henderson
found a man near the corner of First ar.d
Hewitt streets wandering about without
coat, vest, hat or shoes, and seemingly
in a dazed condition. He brought the
unfortunate to the police station where
