Beach bath house today, several thousand
In number, were entertained with a clam
bake, or. more accurately speaking, a
ciam-steam, of gigantic proportions. Three
Immense tubs were filled and emptied
many times from 12 oclock until late in the
afternoon. Two tons of clams were dis

comical incidents to the many spectators.
Surf bathing was very fine and hundreds
took advantage of the good tide and pleas

PASADENA
PASADENA. July 23.—(Regular Corre
spondence.) H. A. Gibson addressed Ihe
meeting of the Pasadena Theosophical so
ciety this evening, his subject being '•The
Power of Confidence." It is apparent to
everyone that this is a time of great un
rest, and, to close observers, it is equally
apparent that the dawning of a greater
faith is at hand. It was not many years
ago that tho agnostic had a hard time of
It; now the way is being beaten smoother
and it leads to an investigation which will
not stop until the truth Is known. Man
must have some kind of faith. At present
materialistic science in the general ad
vance in human thought Is In advance of
the present religious beliefs, consequently
religion is looked on as a matter of blind,
unreasoning faith, so-called. True faith
Is the compact of the soul with its diviner
part. Man never can be happy In doubt.
Doubt and fear are paralyzing and pain
ful. The person who gives to man a faith
commensurate with his reason and con
science confers an incalculable benefit upon
him. This theosophy has done for many
in the past and will do for an ever-increas
ing number in the future. It is construc
tive, hopeful and leads \to the highest,
ethics.
PLATED RAILROAD
This afternoon about 5 oclock two small
boys were playing railroad men about the
cars of the Terminal railway and suc
ceeded in making a wreck of a train load
of ties, that is, the train ran away from
them on the down grade and was derailed
a short distance below Colorado street.
The youthful trainmen were Ralph Hannon
and Harry Pruitt, each aged 11 years. They
were playing on the top of the cars and
loosened the brakes, when the train, which
was a heavy one consisting of ten or more
cars, piled high with railroad ties, started
down grade at a rate that made the boys
think they would beat the record to Los
Angeles. Had it not been for the derailing
switch a little distance below the lumber
yard there is no telling how much damage
might have been done. As it was. the train
ran off on the ties, and three or four cars
are standing on the ties now, so that the
trains from he beach had to stop about
a block below the obstruction and let the
passengers foot it up to Colorado street.
The boys were arrested by Constable
Slater, but It is not probable that anything
will be done with them.
THE CITY COUNCIL
At tomorrow's session of the city council
the protest of the east side property owners

them the fruit to dry for themselves.
Notwithstanding the great amount of
berries that have been marketed locally

even in spite of this tact and the recent hot

ful that any and all can have as many as
desired. Many, however, on the market are
very small.

THE PUBLIC PULSE
(The Herald under this heading prints
communications, but does not assume re
sponsibility for the sentiments expressed.
Correspondents are requested to cultivate
brevity as far as is consistent with the
proper expression of their views.)
Are Babies Unnatural Productions ?
To the Editor of the Los Angeles
Herald: Mr. Bowman's letter in yours
of the 23d instant excusing hims.'.f for
voting and acting with the Populists
while his views are those of the Social
ists, touches upon a problem that is
presenting itself to many.
I, as a Socialist, am in full sympathy
with the Chicago platform, except the
"silver plank." The personnelofthe fol
lowers of that platform are much nearer
to me than Hanna's cohorts', known as
the Republican party, but am I justified
in voting for silver- on, this, account
when I not only believe it to he a use
less, but actually a bad measure, for
the worklngmen in particular and the
country in general. The reasons why
Socialists are against silver are well
known to everyone who has followed the
question with any attention. I will not
go into the argument, pro and con, of
silver here, as this letter is simply writ
ten to throw light on the vexed question
of policy to be decided upon by Socialists
who are admittedly against silver, but
who think It better to swallow the pill
and act with the Populists than-to act
as a separate party by tm-mf-'elvee.
I claim that it is- practically impossi
ble for an honest Socialist who has a
clear and sound knowledge of the eco
nomics Involved in the silver question
to act with the Populists. Hie Socialist
theory la that the free coinage of silvc-i
will debase the standard of value and
hence diminish the purchasing power
of wages, with a net result of helping
solely the employing class. Now this
theory may be entirely wrong, but it is
the universal theory of every educated
Socialist in every part of the world, and
I challenge Mr. Bowman, if he denies
it, to show me any authorized document
issued by a Socialist party anywhere
that will discredit the statement.
How, then, can a Socialist speak from
a Populist platform, sandwiched. 1 in be
tween other speakers who are enunciat
ing views entirely opposedi to his own?
If he remains silent on silver the audi
ence naturally must believe he coincides
with the other speakers, and if he -should
differ from them he would be hissed
from the meeting as a wolf In cheep's
clothing.
Suppose Bryan had been elected, and
that silver was by this time coined free
and that the Socialist prediction had
come true of no good result following?
Would not the Democratic party be
in the same discredited! position before
the country that the Republican party
now occupies, with its unfulfilled prom
ises of prosperity?
What a picture for the gods would the
Bowmana then present to their deluded
followers in trying to justify their lead
ership by explaining that they never
really believed In the efficacy of free sil
ver as a remedy, but they had advocated
it, to use Mr. Bowman's own words.

"because it commanils a following which
will make it effective in sweeping th:
country in 1900."
I condemn a Socialist who advocates
silver as being both dishonest ar.d im
politic. He has nothing to gain for hl«
cause either in the event of silver losing
or winning the day. If it loses he will
be Impressed into further battles for a
remedy which he knows is futile, and if
it wins he will puffer the discredit of
having led hi» supporters into hattie
only to win a victory absolutely barren
of promised'results.
It is not true, as Mr. Bowman asserts,
that "a political party too small to com
mand respect has the Inevitable effect
to keep that party and its policy in a
hopeless minority."
Was the policy of the old Abolition
party such that It kept the policy of
abolition forever in a hopeless 1 minority ?
If Mr Ron man so ignorant of the course
of mcdern political life as to not know
the marvelous grow th of the socialist
party in Germany from nothing a few
years ago to nearly two millions today
has been entirely accomplished by their
sticking ptraight to a platform of pure
socialism with no compromises and no
entangling alliances "in order to sweep
the country." The parallel he draws
about the failure of the Prohibition
party to accomplish their aim by means
of a separate party is not apropos. If
so then his advice would be for them to
Join the Populists and whoop It up for
silver even If they don't believe in It In
the hrpo of getting in position some day
to swing the silver crowd into the blue
ribbon crusade.
As to the charge that the socialists
propose the Impossible of immediate at
tainment and that sudden changes are
against nature, I would simply ask Mr.
Bow man to name one single item in the
socialist platform that is impossible of
attainment.
I would also ask If Mr. Bowman con
siders the hatching of a chicken or the
birth of a child particularly unnatural
acts or does he think that if he had the
making of things instead of Dame Na
ture he would prolong the pains cf par
turition from hours to months in order
to prevent what he calls a "cataclysm."
Even his argument about the "gradual
betterment of fruits, flowers, birds, etc.,
Is not based on fact. Almost every great
advance has been quite sudden, unex
pected ar.d accidental.
Unexpectedly and without man's
guidance a tree In the orange grove
bears a seedless orange. It is chris
tened the "navel" and the budsfrom this
one "cataclysm" in nature are the be
ginning of all our navel oranges. Na
ture has created a "sport." From these
"sports/ are derived nearly every ad
vance In nature from orchids to pouter
pigeons. True enough, after Nature
has produced the "sport" man. can im
prove slowly and gradually but the
origin of the new species Is always one
of Mr. Bowman's unheard of births or
cataclysms. "KLONDYKE."
Mark Hanna and Clondyke
To the Editor of the Los Angeles Her
ald—On Independence day the people of
Southern California listened with en
thusiasm to the ever memorable, brll
iiant Fiesta park speech of Wm..T
Bryan. The few forceful. logical, con
vincing sentences devoted to lnterna
' tional bimetallism in that speech con
iusively proved the utter absurdity,
I lollow Insincerity, criminal extrava
;ance and futile trickery ot send'lng
commissioners to persuade the powers
of Europe to It.
In the three short weeks which have
passed since the delivery of that speech
the whole aspect of financial affairs has
been altered, for a new force and factor
has entered the field and made the im
possible, possible! I refer to the treas
ure ship from the Clondyke gold fields
of Alaska. The most extravagant
hopes of the most erratic prospectors
have been cast away Into the shade by
the realties of the wealth and extent of
the new Eldorado, and conservative
men of wide experience predict that the
new gold fields will produce vaster
quantities of gold in shorter time than
did. Australia or California In their
palmiest days.
How well founded these predictions
are the writer, not being an expert, will
not undertake to decide. He rather in
clines to caution, and warns people who
make a living, however scanty, not to
leave the certain for the uncertain, but
recall the trite adage about the elusive
ness of the bird in the bush.
But it the new gold fields prove nearly
as vast or rich, as would seem. Prom the
amount of treasure brought back and
the exceedingly short time and little la
bor it took to gather It, then what will be
the effect on the finances of the world ?
Why, the vast volume of new gold pour
ing into the channels of trade will de
press the price of the metal, and cause
sudden and violent fluctuations in the
value of money, bonds, stocks, securi
ties, rates of interest, etc., Just as it
did after the discovery of gold in Califor
nia. Panics on the bourses in the lead
ing money centers will follow, and the
desperate financiers, bankers, brokers,
the Rothschild's, Morgans, etc.,. will
clamor for the only remedy in sight
viz: the remonetization of silver, the
return to bimetallism. England, Ger
many, Franco, Bussla, etc., will, with
avidity, seize upon the proposition of the
United States for international bimetal
lism. The campaign promise of the Re
publican party will be fulfilled, and all
the hosts of partisan politicians, and. all
the millions wearing the party label,
without thinking, will shout "Hosannab
to Mark Hanna" —and the kingdom of
trusts, combines and monopolies will be
established forever and ever.
By this time the reader will begin to
perceive my reason for claiming that
Mark Hanna must be the discoverer of
the new Eldorado. He must have dis
covered the new Eldorado years ago.
and in his love for humanity and con
tempt for gold decided to have none of
it for himself, but keep it a profound se
cret until the time was ripe, for, blessing
his people with International bimetal
lism, and proving the sincerity of his
promise and his almighty, universal
beneflcemce.
And now, Mr. Editor, just wait untii
the presidential campaign of 1900, and
then if, in the meantime international
bimetallism has been made possible, by
the great influx of gold from Alaska, see
if Mark Hanna and the Republican poli
ticians won't claim the credit for it, and
get it, too, fromi the unthinking party
men, and there are millions of them.
Yours, T. W. H.
Populations of Great Britian and
Bussia
To the Editor of the Los Angeles Her
ald—Some months ago I forwarded to
you the official census of London, Eng
land., and casually mentioned that our
newspapers had the habit of speaking of
the population of England and Waleu
as the total population of the British
Isles. I notice a few days since that
you have fallen into the same error in an
article on per capita money circulation
You give thirty-two millions, the popula
tion of England and Wales, as the total
population, which is, instead', in round
numbers forty millions, that of Scot
land and Ireland, etc., making up the
difference.
Another common misconception is
speaking of the total population of the
Russian empire, made up of many races,
as if it were the population, of Russia in
Europe. It is a curious habit attempting
to magnify one empire and detract from
the other. The population of the Rus
sian empire 19 about one-third only of
that of the Britiph empire. The num
ber of white people in the British em
pire is at least equal to that in the United
States, and probably more. Yours faith
fully, A. L. BROWNE.
Ontario, Cal., July 23,1897.
Nearer Home
To the Editor of the Los Angeles Her
ald: "Does distance lend enchantment
to view." In this Alaska excitement, as
well as in other things, why do not those
looking for gold seek a field within reach
and surrounded by civilization? There
have been millions taken out of the San
Gabriel canyon and there must be plenty
left. Mr. Wildey, working a claim fif
teen miles up the canyon, is getting 25
cents' worth of gold out of each pan of
dirt, and there are hundreds of as good
claims as his, but they have never been
worked the same. He is workingon bed
rock and all others have been working
the banks. With the money it would
take to get to Clondyke a man can open
up a good paying mine without endur
