Much ADO Abou, nothing.

There has been a terrible rumpus in
Los Angeles OF late about the Chief OF
Police and about gambling. II one were
TO accept the alarmist "send-offs" OF Re-
publican newspapers, somewhat indis-
creetly reinforced by some Democratic
official utterances, Los Angeles is about
the wickedest place in the world. To read
the outgivings OF certain Republican Or
gans, the City OF the Angels is a modern
reproduction Of the cities from which Lot
and his wife fed in terror.
This is all nonsense. Compared with
her population, Los Angeles is the best
governed city in the United States. Law
and order have here their abiding place
In fact, were it not for angelic modesty,
we might very well pose as the model
city, and our "title there would be
none TO dispute" to this distinction
To begin with, we have a model Chief Of
Police in the person Of Don Tomaso
Cuddy. From the start he has been the
inhexible opponent Of gambling and all
other irregularities, and he has Infused
into the police force a spirit OF efficiency
and subordination that deserves all
praise, and he has done this under
phenomenal difficulties.
The people OF Los Angeles, disguised
with Republican maladministratio and
regeneration, turned over the city gov
ernment to the Democrats, and with ex-
| IL rn.xp,t,,,, "a,
dent of our municipal politics simply dis
appeared contemporaneousy with Dem
ocratic ascendancy. The good effects o.
the new regime, however, have not beer
proportions because there have beer
Democratic ssensions--uncalled fol
Democratic dissensions.
1t is perfectly safe to assume tina
neither d Democratic Mayor nor {
majority OF the Democratic City Counci
could have been elected on the basis OF
portion of these officials playing into Re
publican hands. The masses, who elect
ed Democratic Municipal government
demand harmony and united part,
action in the interest of good govern
ment. 1t is entirely safe to say that NJ
man has very durable political tutur
who will SO shape his action as to disap
point this just expectation. The Car Q
Juggernaut will simply roll over tn
Democrat who accepted a political trus
from his fellow partizans and who shal
yet administer it in the interest of hi
political opponents.
Put pin there. In The language c

The Farty of the People at Pomona a
poMoNA lima 10 1909


EDITORS HERALD The Los Angeles
Times of this date publishes lot Of
"gush, " written by we'll known Repub-
lican real estate crank. The Times, after
letting the article lay around for nearly
three days, finally ran short OF copy and
published the "piece." To say that it is
false from beginning to end will not in
the least embarass the real estate man.
The facts ar', that the ratification was an
overwhelming success. The Pomona
Military band, fifty torches on horse and
loot, banners and flags, together with an
vil-firing and grand bonfire, called out
the largest evening gathering Pomona
ever witnessed. Senator Del Vale, in
ten minutes speech, explained the Demo-
cratic stand on protection so satisfactorily
to the large gathering, that it will take
the Republicans from now till November
to show one single farmer or workingman
any good reason for voting the g. o. p.
ticket. The Republicans of Pomona have
lost heart, for the Democrats organized |
club one hundred and seventy
five strong in three days. They raised |
800 for Cleveland and Thurman ratifi-
cation in twelve hours, and from the
number of converts already made the
Democrats will certainly hold the fort.

The Coast Delegations.

The Pacific Coast Republican delega-

OF interest in the city. After visit to
Great Salt Lake by special train they pro-
ceeded on their way East. They left

WAMsuTTER, Wyo., June 13.-The

The sixth volume of Alden's Manifold
Cyclopedia exter DIS from Bravo to Cal
vile, its 635 nicely printed pages includ-
ing 120 illustrations. Along with its
manifold number OF words and topics
treated briefly, there are many extended
articles, as, for instance, Brazil, seven
pages; Breach-loading guns, eleven
pages; Bridge, eleven pages; British
Museum, ten pages Brooklyn, five pages
buddhism, fifteen pages, and California,
sixteen pages. The Cyclopedia well de-
serves the enthusiastic commendation it
is receiving from all sides; it is certainly
The Cyclopedia for popular use. Rev. DR..
Wright OF Milwaukee evidently voices
the thought of many when he SAYS: "I
may in all truth and soberness quote its
first word as expressive of my sentiments
in regard to your wonderful work, its
omprehensiveness its cheapness, ETC.
bravo, yea, Bravissimo!" Its small,
handy volume, contrasting so greatly
with the usual bulky, unwieldy volumes
adopted by publishers OF Cyclopedias, is
a very pleasant characteristic, and un-
doubtedly adds greatly to the usefulness
of the work, as stated by DR.. Hasty of
indianapolis, who says: "I have the
American Cyclopedia, but reference is
made to the Manifold so far as l have it,
ten times to once to the former. 1t is a
marvel for compactness and complete
ness" The publisher sends specimen
pages free to any applicant, or specimen
volumes, which may be returned if not
wanted, for 60 cents for cloth binding, IS
cents for half Morocco, postpaid; the bet
ter binding is particularly commended.

OF bonds offered and accepted. This had
been done. Why did the Senator insist
on having the names of persons offering
bonds? There must be some reason for
it. He would now Withdraw his amend
ment and leave to the Senate itself the
responsibility of adopting the resolution.
Stewart said he was delighted that the
Senator from Missouri had at last seen
the propriety OF having no secrecy about
the matter. In the interest OF the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury himself, publicity
was required so as to avert suspicion
which might be attached to the fact that
over million dollars of surplus had
been deposited free of interest in the
Western National Bank Of New York
The motion to refer the resolution to
the Committee on Finance was rejected
The discussion then took political
turn. salisbury lauded the Administra-
ton Tor Its honesty and purity, and Tel
Ter claimed that the Republican Senators
had never attacked the Administration
but had treated it with courtesy and re-
spect, but its financial policy would not
stand the test of common sense and
craftsmanship. The Administration could
not get more than one-fifth of the Demo.
cratic Senators to favor its financial pol
icy, and could not get twenty-five Demo
Gratis in the House Of Representatives
And yet they were all ready to join ir
the cry, "Great is Grover Cleveland, the
First" he who forced his own nomina
ton against the will Of very many repre-
sentative Democrats, and who fixed the
platform for the Democratic party, as vel
as his associate on the ticket.
The resolution was then adopted with
out modification and without division.
Blair moved to take up the Senate bill
Tor the adjustment Of accounts OF labor
ers, workmen and mechanics arising un
der the eight-hour law. Several vote

THERE have been few more remarkable
political crazes in the history of Ameri-
can politics than that which attaches to
the name and person of Jim Blaine. In
his own party his popularity and ascend
nncy recall in striking manner the
hold which Henry Clay had upon the
old Whig party. And yet the resemblance
is confined to the effect and absolutely
ignores the cause. The partizans OF Clay
had no difficulty in discovering and ex-
fpanding upon the elements of the popu-
,1arity of their idol. He was the originator
of the doctrine of protection to American
industry, in the sense in which it had
some force, that is, as a protection to our
infant industries. He had been, besides,
n commanding statesman and nego-
tiator. When it comes to Blaine,
on the other hand, outside OF a
certain tricky prominence as a working
politician, and lurid eminence out
lined by the Mulligan letters and certain
Arkansas and Fort Scott and other rail-
way transactions, there is nothing to 90
upon. The wonder is how so much
enthusiasm can be sustained on such
very slender capital. When Blaine,
poor as are his claims to recognition, is
dropped, the paucity OF Presidential
material in the Republican party be-
comes positively appalling. All the
dominant figures have disappeared from
the Republican voters, which is perhaps
not to be wondered at when we reflect
that the distinctive issues which charac.
terized that organization have either
vanished altogether or have lapsed into
an ignominious desuetude.

ceipts for this quarter were the largest
for any quarter in the history of the Gov
ernment. The deficiency is the smallest
since the reduction OF the rate Of postage
in 1888.

At Turner Hall last night, Mr.. Daniel

atized version OF Louis Henry Steven
sons novel "Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde -
A fair audience was present, who enjoyed
quite fully the portrayal of their wonder
ful, but wonderfully unnatural manner OF
setting forth the central idea Of nearly all
religious, that man is dual being NOR
ally, and that there is a strife between
the good and the bad, each in turn gain
ing an ascendency, the end determining
which is to be finally victorious.

In OTHER columns will be found Mayor
Workman's version of the police and
gambling imbroglio. In to.morrow's
HERALD we will lay before our readers
what the President OF the Council, Mr.
John F. Humphreys, has to say on this
ta2ic. We shall then have the views on
this paramount issue OF the Mayor, Pres

and our readers can make up their minds
for themselves. The HERALD, when all
the evidence is in, will review the whole
dispute. Meanwhile it insists on har-

THERE was one good outcome OF the
conspicuously successful administration
Of Grover Cleveland, and that was that his
party had no difficulty in finding Dem
ocratic nominee for President. How diff
ferent with our opponents! As to their
choice we may well quote the words OF
Milton, "Chaos umpire sits and, by de-
cision, still more confounds the fray"
There will be second and more crafty
ing issue of Democratic concord, viz,
the triumphant election OF Cleveland
and Thurman.

Amaicamated Association.

PITrsBURG, June 13.-At to-day's ses-
sion OF the Amalgamated Association the
following resolutions were submitted by
the Tariff Committee:
ResOtyed, That as representatives Of
the iron and steel workers OF the United
States, in convention assembled, we are
in favor of the sentiment, America for
Americans" native and naturalized.
Resolued, That in our best judgment
the cities and industries of this country
cannot be protected in better
way than by placing a protective
tariff on all articles imported from
other countries, that can be produced by
our own people, in order that those who
produce them may be better able to de.
mand that to which, as citizens and up
holders of the Government, they are
justly entitled to, an equitable share OF
the profits of their toll to maintain their
families decently; that they may be able
to educate their children, and teach them
as they advance towards manhood to de.
fend the principles of our system OF Gov
ernment.
ResOlged, That we are most emphati-
cally opposed to any reduction of the
present tariff, and we hereby express our
unqualified condemnation of the proyis-
ions OF the Mills bill, believing as we do
that its adoption as law would be detri-
mental to the interests of American
workingmen, and we respectfully call up
on our representatives in Congress to vote
against it.
