TI'ESDAV, AUGUST 3, ISO 7. IS PROSPERITY UPON US? Americans are a hopeful people, a characteristic developed by the pros perity with which the country has gen erally been blest throughout its career. Their optimism leads them to expect that the clouds of adversity will speedily disappear whenever the sky is overcast with them. But for their hope and ex pectation they would not bear the de pression which has existed for several years with the good cheer and fortitude they have displayed. In the late presidential campaign the managers for the Republican party clearly comprehended that their best strategy was to excite hope and expecta tion that better times would come im mediately and immensely as a result of their party success. This was not only predicted, but promised, in emphatic and confident language. They asserted they had a panacea for all public ills, which was opening the millso£industry, They said the doors of the mill* would fly open when confidence was restored, and that its restoration would be Instan taneous when It became known that the Republican candidates had been elected. Since the election every increase of business in any quarter, however trivial, has been paraded as proof that prosper ity has commenced to return. Wa are not disposed to cast upon the future a discouraging look: on the contrary, in common with the body of the American people, wo are- anxiously straining our eyes to discover the approach of the ad vance guard of business revival. Of late there has been a general rise in the prices of securities, caused by a revival of speculation in Wall street, to promote which money has been accumulated by *he New York banks. There is a barely appreciable increase in some lines of trade, because the people have worn out their old clothes, and must have something to wear. It is undeniable that buying is confined to what is abso lutely necessary, and that the people in the mass are forced to practice the ut most economy on account of their desti tution so far as regards mousy. Ful some talk will not make business lively; if it would, The Herald would indulge in language as flamboyant as that of any of the administration organs. It is cruelty, however, to excite hope and ex pectations that cannot be realized. It is the best, policy to look facts squarely In the face, and to picture conditions as they actually exist. The mills will not be opened unless there? is money with which to do it, and those who have money will not invest in productive enterprises without reason able assurance that There wil! be buyers of the products. The effort to open the mills by enacting a protective tariff will avail little at best, unless supplemented by the passage of a law for opening the mints. In the iate campaign a class was favorable to opening the mllle merely; another only advocated the opening of the mints, and still another and large class believed th«t to bring prosperity surely both mints and mills should be opened. The first step ls to provide the means to do with before en terprises are undertaken. It must be apparent to Intelligent minds that there cannot be much industrial development until the money volume Is enlarged. Not only is the money volume too small, but It is concentrated in few hands—in the hands of those who cannot be induced to invest otherwise than in good paying stocks and bonds or in bonds upon gilt edged securities. Trusts and monopolies, to a grievous extent, have brought adversity upon the masses. The worst of all monopolies is that which is imposed through control of the money of the country. After the enactment of a tariff law distinguished for the fostering care it bestows upon trusts, the proposition is to adopt a money system that will confer upon cor porations the sole power to regulate the volume of the circulating medium. No more effective plan can be devised for continuing and aggravating the evils from which thecountry is suffering than the one proposed by the secretary of the treasury. Though the administration is to re main in power for nearly four years, • there is not any evidence that confidence j has been restored. There Is certainly not that degree of confidence which in ' duces capitalists to put their money into j industrial enterprises; they hold on to their ducats with a Shylockian grip. I Confidence is not only a plant of slow growth, but it must have a sensible and j solid basis on which to rest. That basis wili not be formed so long as there is insufficiency of quantity of primary or redemption money, and inadequacy of ; basic money will continue as long as the single gold standard is adhered to. If it is contemplated by the secretary's plan to create a volume of paper money sufficient to supply the wants of busi : ness, a structure will be erected that will be top-heavy, and it will be toppled by every gust of wind, because the base will be too narrow to sustain it. Such a structure would destroy what little eon ; fldence remains in the country, and the j result must inevitably be a repetition of the catastrophies of 1537 and 1557. All want prosperity, and the people would be happy if they were made to see that it has made its appearance, and is coming to stay. ADVICE TO KLONDYKERS As there are Quite a number of people in Southern California who are prepar ing to go to Klondyke, a word as to how to prepare for the trip may not be out of the way. Clothing should be selected so as to get the greatest amount of warmth with the least amount of weight. Russians find felt cloth the best of all. It is very thick, and keeps in the heat of the body, while at the same time It is light. This is an advantage ac regards what is-worn and what is> taken for future use. Thin sl'.k underwear, with thick, loosely woven woolen underwear over it, is' very good. Fur gloves and a fur collar, with a warm cap having large ear laps to tie under the chin will be? found com fortable. Food supplies should be- selected with the same end in view, to get the most nutriment for the least weight. Al though one may never have eaten fat meat in such a climate as California pro vides, the taste will grow for fats in the Arctic winters of Alaska. Take a good supply of fat bacon and hams. Beans are very nutritious for a given weight. Cheese is among the best sustainers of human life. Peanuts and walnuts rank among the best of foods for high lati tudes. They contain rJenty of oil. Dessicated onions would be a good addi tion to make to the above. Thestreamp are full of fish. They can be taken out from under ice torpid in winter and caught ir. the summer. With a supply of onions a fi*h chowder will keep a man from longing for home. To ward off skin diseases in the winter take a lot of dried apricots. In packing goods, special care should be taken to keep them from the effects of dampness. Flour should be repack ed, placing two sacks of 50 pounds as they come from the mill with the cover ing undisturbed within a large sack, and that should be carefully lined with oilcloth, this being covered with a heavy, strong burlap to keep the oil cloth from injury. The same way of packing beans and any food liable to be affected by dampness would be good. It will be better to have supplies care fully packed here in good order to take over the passes and down the rivers than to trust to have this done at Juneau, where it will not be done so ! well, nor at so smail expense. People not used to severe cold, great ! snow storms, the dampness which ac- j companies a big thaw can hardly ap predate what lies before them in a trip : over great mountains in that latitude. A BENEFIT TO CANADA The lumber schedule of the new tariff law, which is supposed to have been gotten up with the intention to benefit the United States and cut off Canada.; trade with this country, is more likely to injure this country and build up certain manufacturing interests for Canada. It is a prohibitory tariff, and will un doubtedly prevent the importation of Canadian lumber and will embarrass the province to that extent. But, as The Herald pointed out the other day.the law will have the effect of hastening the de struction of the. American forests, that are now owned p.lmost wholly by rich lumber barons- like General Alger, and must cause a corresponding diminution in the rainfall. On the other hand, Canada has not been idle. She has placed an export duty of $4.50 a cord on pulp wood, which makes It prohibitory to the buyers of the United States. When the American pulp mills dependent upon Canadian wood find it no longer profitable to make pulp from LOS ANGELES HERALD: TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 3, 1897 Imported wood, they will move their mills to Canada. Paper mills will go with the pulp mills. The Laurentlde pulp mills at Grand Mere, Quebec, an American concern in which Gen. Alger until recently held a controlling Inter est, is enlarging Its capacity and In tends, it is said, to build a paper mill to manufacture for export to Great Brlt- The lumber barons like Alger make money anyway. They demand a high tariff on lumber in this country and get it. They go over into Canada and find no difficulty in conducting profitable enterprises without any duty at all. Then, when a Canadian retaliatory ex port duty Is placed on their product, they still find it pays to turn around and send it to Great Britain. Great is the lumber baron and manifold are his de vices for increasing his store of shekels at the expense of the people. NERVES AND THE LAW A very interesting case was recently decided in the English courts by which the plaintiff recovered damages for a practical Joke perpetrated by the de fendant. The plaintiff went by train to see some races. The defendant "Just for the fun of it" told the plaintiff's wife that the train returning from the races had been wrecked and that her husband had been badly hurt. The woman was made seriously 111 by the news; her hair turned white and her life was for some time in danger. As a matter of fact there had been no wreck and plaintiff had not been hurt at all. Counsel for the defendant ridiculed the story of the hair turning white, and argued that the words were spoken hu morously by way of a joke, and were so understood. The jury thought otherwise. It gave the plaintiff ls 10% d for certain expenses incurred, and assessed the damages on the score of illness resulting from the shock at £100. The judge confirmed the verdict. That the defendant should have been turned over to the tender mercies of the fool killer as well as subjected to paltry damage most people will readily argue, but from the point of view of the law the decision established an impor tant precedent. As an English law Journal expressed it: "The primitive common law cares little for nerves. It dismissed nervous sufferings contemp tuously as sentimental. But one of the best qualities of the common law ls its power of adjusting itself to the so cial environment. » • • Mr. Justice Wright's decision constitutes no doubt, a new departure; but it is a new de parture for which the age is ripe. All rational beings are now agreed that an injury to the feelings and to the nerves is as real an Injury as, and often a much worse injury, than one done to the body." The nervous system now has a stand ing in the English courts. The ques tion naturally arises, Could damages be recovered from the owner of a dog that bayed the moon, causing sleeplessness and nervous prostration to the neigh bors? Or could the piano fiend and the cornet demon be haled to court and com pelled to pay for the shocks they inflict upon the surrounding inhabitants? The question is both interesting and im portant. HOLD THEM RESPONSIBLE It ls now early in August. In three months the tourist season will begin, when thousands of visitors from all over the country will come here to spend the winter, attracted by our unrivaled cli mate and other advantages. The business streets of the city ought to be put in proper repair before the tourist season begins, and three months is a short time in which to do the work properly. Some of the streets are in very bad shape. Particularly is this true as regards Spring and Main, two nf the three leading business thorough fares, and of Sixth, which is perhaps the leading west side cross-town street, and on which the travel Is very large. Now these streets ought to be repaired at once. No valid reason can be given for allowing them to remain in their present wretched condition. People who come here from the leading cities of the country will be quick to criticise our bad paving and send out reports not creditable to the city. We cannot af ford to have this done. Besides the peo ple who live here and pay taxes are en titled to streets to pass over which do not endanger their lives. The city council is responsible for the shameful condition of things. Hold the members strictly responsible. They are not faithful public servants when they stand in the way of such a necessary im provement as the repairing of the streets named. Acting on a suggestion recently pub lished in these columns a number of old I residents held a meeting at the Herald counting room yesterday and decided to I form an organization of pioneers. The i limitation on membership will probably Ibe a residence in Los Angeles county somewhere between twenty and twenty five years, not including native sons, who have an organization of their own. A committee appointed to formulate a j plan of organization will meet at the ! chamber of commerce tomorrow eve j ning. There is not much doubt that an old settlers' club will be formed and jit will call together many congenial spirits. The Herald congratulates itself and its readers on having secured as its special correspondent In the Klondyke gold : fields a brilliant descriptive writer in th* person of Mr. William J. Jones, who sailed for Alaska on the steamer "Mexi co" from Seattle last week. Mr. Jones will also represent the New York Herald and the New York World and his letters will be looked for with the keenest inter est. He has gone not to pan gold, but solely to place before the readers of the Sunday Herald andi other newspapers A KLONDYKE EDITION > Next Sunday, the Bth inst., The Herald will provide Its 1 readers with the latest and the most reliable information on the j Klondyke gold fields, illustrated by Dan Smith, who was a member of the expedition sent to Alaska by the Frank Leslie Publishing house. Among the great features of this valuable mine of infor mation about Klondyke will be: A letter giving much new information and graphically de- I scribing scenes in the Klondyke camp. ' A symposium of the wonderful tales told by returned miners. ■ A tale of rare interest detailing the fortunes wrung from gol -1 den sands by women of grit. I Placer mining explained by a man who has panned out gold 1 himself. I Among the prinoipal illustrations will be The Perils of the ] Journey by Water, by Dan Smith; Klondyke Miners Washing Out I Gold, by Trowbridge; photographs of Klondyke types, and a map of the Klondyke region. The Herald is also able to make the important announce ment that it has secured the valuable services of William J. Jones, 1 a brilliant descriptive writer, who sailed for Alaska from Seattle on i the steamer Mexico last week. Mr. Jones will also represent the i New York Herald and the New York World, and his letters will i be watched for with the keenest interest. authentic and graphic accounts of the Klondyke. The council, at its session yesterday, adopted a suggestion of The Herald and referred the matter of treating with the water company for the purchase of Its works to the city attorney. It is well to consult one's lawyer first when one has an Important trade on hand, and legal advice thus secured in ad vance generally comes much cheaper than when it is sought after a mistake has been made. The city fathers are showing their good sense in moving with deliberation and caution in this matter. The great strike of the coal miners has placed the Hon. Marcus A. Hanna "between the devil and the deep sea." He wants to be elected senator, and if he favors the strikers the mine owners and operators will be against him, and if he opposes them the strikers will be against him. There can be no doubt about the side he would take if he were not a candidate for office. Hanna has made a fortune out of the laTior of others. A correspondent of the New York Evening Post assures the public that it is still safe for Americans to travel in Spain, notwithstanding the blood-thirs ty utterances' of the statesmen of both countries. That is not what we are troubled over. Whenever it is not safe for Americans to travel in Spain it will be time to give the matter considera tion. What concerns us most at pres ent is that Americans are not safe in Cuba. "Paris is a poor man's paradise," says a tourist writer in the New York Evening Post. But she begins by saying, "See Paris and die." What Is needed is a paradise where the poor man can live and be happy. As yet it has not been suggested that We go to war with great Britain because the English government has refused to Interfere in the case of Mrs. Maybrick. The radical jingoes are losing an oppor tunity. The Kansas City Star suggests that the Sugar trust might at least make a decent contribution to the conscience fund. It will have to do it on a bor rowed conscience, for it has none of its own. The world is not so bad as it might be. The American Bible society prints a million and a half bibles every year, yet it is complained that the society is seriously crippled by competition. Will Senator Jones of Nevada please ask himself if he really believes that none of the United States senators speculated in sugar, and then tell us what Senator Jones said? A contract has been signed that will give Enid, Oklahoma, a theatrical per formance at least once a month. No wonder Oklahoma is demanding to be ad mitted into the Union. That Dawson City is cosmopolitan and up to date is shown by the fact that the inhabitants started saloons and a cemetery before they built a church. California fruits are a leading item in the New York markets. Time, distance and prejudice have been overcome by the California fruit growers. Crazy men who are looking for remit tances are informed that the express companies have as yet opened no offices in the Klondyke region. Klondyke bids fair to become the leading American summer and winter resort. Still, Southern California has advantages over it. The Seattle Times advises its Repub lican contemporaries to tell the truth. It will have to give them something easier. Most of the office seekers at Washing ton are now willing to take something "equally as good." Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roose velt Is something of a war vessel him self. Income Tax and Dark Room Japan has an income tax, and this is the way they enforce it: If a taxpayer protests that he is rated too high by the officials he Is thrust into a dark room and told to "think over It carefully." Sometimes a man stays there twenty four hours, buried in darkness and thought and finally he is apt to agree with the officials that he is richer than he had at first supposed. CALIFORNIA OPINION Time Will Justify Him Time will justify Senator White's vote. He stood squarely by his pledges. He voted for a tariff on luxuries and made the best tight he could in detail for Cali fornia!) products as the bill came up schedule by schedule. In the general loot he did the best that could be done for his constituents. ' When it came to take the bad with the good he found so much bad that he was compelled to de cline the draught. The bill, he knew, would pass, but he could not find It in his conscience to vote for It. He did not, and long before the dissection of the bill will have been completed he will be con gratulated cm having done so. A more monstrous piece of legislation was never perpetrated, and time will show it.— Fresno Expositor. Roasting the Legislature The killing of the Clark road law was a good piece of work, for in the very na ture of the measure no good results could follow in its introduction. It is fortun ate that the courts were able to find a way to shelve it. That such a bill could find its way through the legislature in direct conflict with another bill govern ing the same question shows what an in telligent body of people gather at Sacra mento to make our laws.—Bakersfield Californian. No Reason Why Not It Is exceedingly interesting to take up the Sunday New York papers and hear of the business events "the half holiday"—Saturday is almost always referred to after that manner in New York, because In the latter half of the day business ceases and workers and employers alike rest, or give them selves over to recreation. Is there any reason why that practice should not pre vail In California?— Sacramento Record- Union.

Senator Stephen Mallory White or California, according to the Philadel phia Inquirer, entered the senate on March 3d, 1893, the date of President Cleveland's second inauguration. He went home after the extraordinary ses sion of the senate in March, but had to return to attend the special called ses sion of congress which met August 6th of that year for the purpose of repealing the silver purchasing clause of the Sher man act. White lives at Los Angeles. He went to San Francisco before pro ceeding east. The newspapers heralded his presence, and the entire membership of the party not already in office flowed in on San Francisco to arrange with White about the little places they want ed. So great did the crowds about his hotel become that he had to call in the police to clear the way so he could get inside. He managed to dodge all of them but one. That one learned the train he was going on and got aboard it. He managed to make his way into the sleeping car in which White had sought refuge and repose. He traveled with the senator 300 miles on his eastward Jour ney, and only left him at last when White bought him a return ticket to San Francisco.—Pasadena Town Talk. They Pay Without Grumbling The best tariff speech ever made was made by William Pitt, who said: "My Lords and Gentlemen: To levy a direct tax of 7 per cent is a dangerous experi- ment in a free country, and may incite revolt, but there is a method by which you can tax the last rag upon the back and the last bit from the mouth without causing a murmur against high taxes, and that is to tax a great many articles of dally use and necessity so indirectly that the people will pay them and not know it; their grumbling then will be of hard times, but they will not know that the hard times are caused by taxation." —San Luis Obispo Breeze. But It Wil Not Stop the Craze That "take off" on the Klondyke sto ries of the plentifulness of gold in that pitiless climate, published in Mondays Herald, was especially good. But it will have no effect on the crass idiocy of the thousands who are bent Klon dykeward. Only the death of thousands from exposure to killing cold and pinch ing starvation wIH do that. Hundreds will perish this winter, and we only hope the news will arrive in time to stop the thousands from going in the spring who now seem determined to brave the dangers of that country next year.—Redlands Cltrograpb Jf YOU Clothing Corner I —l » Wrote This . ._.

THE PUBLIC PULSE (The Herald under this heading prims communications, but does not assume re sponsibility for the sentiments expressed. Correspondents are requested to cultivate brevity as far as is consistent with tho proper expression of their views,) A Home for Fallen Girls To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald: Thoughtful men and women who have at heart the peace and pros perity of our city, and above all the vir tue and purity of its youth, must often think of the number of unfortunate ones who are outcast in our midist. From them even the gladness of nature is Shu: out by the shadow of shame thrown over them, blighting lives once full of prom ise, and bringing untold sorrow and suf fering to others. By a hand outstretched in mercy and love, impelled by the spirit of him who came to seek and to save the lost many of these outcasts might be brought to paths of virtue and led to see there is yet hope—yet a Father above who cares for his children. From those whom a wide experience of years has acquainted with the needs of Los Angeles comes hearty encourage- ment and sympathy in this arduous un - dertaking. And not only in behalf of them, but for the sake of the innocent and pure would we call for a refuge that the standard of virtue and purity may be raised, a home where the homeless may find a welcome, where safety and peace and active interest in useful em ployment may win them to forget the past and lead them to lock upward, to accept the cleansing and pardon offered alike to ail. Mother, father, friend, do you feel the need of this? Do you realize what it means to every home in our fair city? What, it may bring those whose eternal welfare is at stake? We appeal to those whom Godi has made stewards of his bounty for liberal donations for the es tablishing of this home. We pledge our earnest, untiring efforts, as simply two of the least of his servants, to make it a home indeed to those who shall find refuge within its doors; where love shal'. win and the spirit of Christ control—un sectarlan, undenominational in work and managemet and .«'ee from political hindrances', a retufe-* established by human love and sympathy for these un fortunate, suffering ones. Already personal interest has been manifested and hearty encouragement and co-operation assured by those who know its needs. From $10,000 to $15,000 is needied to establish this home on a modest plan that can be enlarged to meet future needs. The home is to be known as the Los Angeles Home of Refuge; all property to be set apart, deeded to the city of Los Angeles, and used only for a home for fallen girls. The management to be vested In a president, manager, seere | tary and treasurer, who shall have per sonal supervision of all Its affairs. Two of these officers shall live in. the home and a quarterly report shall be sub mitted by its officers to be published, It will be the purpose of the management to ' make the home, as near as possible under the prevailing circumstances, splf-supportlng.

Greed Will Overreach Itself There Is a trite saying, "Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad." The trust*, one and all, this year have been mad for more protection, more privileges, more spoil. They have met popular antagonism with increased ex actions.

The greediness of the sugar trust will prove the greatest of all possible aids to the overthrow of trust power when the Democratic party shall next submit Its case to the people.—New York Journal.
