IS The Wife.c

Never in the history of theatricals in
San Francisco has a company and play
been received with 80 much favor by
both press and public as has been ac-
corded to Mr.. Daniel Frohmans s Lyceum
Theater Company OF New York in their
play OF The Wife, now in its fourth week
at the Baldwin Theater. At the con.
clusion of their season at that house
they will leave for this city and begin an
engagement at the Grand Opera House
for one week next Monday evening.
The Wife ran eight months at the Ly-
ceum Theater, New York, and every seat
was taken every night. In point of in
telligence and social standing the audi
ences were the cream of the city. The
best people, in the best and only legiti-
mate sense of the term, were there. They
were at the performance night after night
because they liked the play and not
through the influence of any fad or
fancy. The endorsement OF the play by
these people was an honor to the au-
thor and compliment to the PLAYERS.
1t was the desirable sort Of approval that
is often sought, but seldom found-the
approval that money cannot buy how
ever skillfully expended. And the same
thing may be said Of the engagement
they are now completing in San Francis
co.
The Wife is purely an American play
and illustrates the self-sacri6ce and man
illness of nineteenth-century American
gentleman under trying conditions.
The sale Of seats begins tomorrow
evening.

WE FIND the following in the New York

WE FIND the following in the New York
World:
Determined to appropriate the national
flag and all its colors the organ of the
Tariff Barons in this city says:
Let the Republican ballots be printed in red
and blue ink on white paper this year.
That ould be jolly so far as sentiment
goes, but in this State the law REQUIRES
ballots to be printed on plain white
paper in black ink. The variegated style
of ballot might catch few youthful
votes, but such ballots would not be
counted.
There is a veneer of patriotism about
this utterance of the New York Tribune:
but, underlying it, is grim and instruc-
tive lesson. Nothing would please the
Republican leaders better than to have
a marked ticket, and they would as will
ingly as not prostitute the American flag
to their purposes of ambition. Cali
fornians remember the celebrated tape
worn ticket which the workmen at the
Mare Island Navy Yard were obliged to
vote, on pain of dismissal, by the Re-
publican bosses, and which caused the
of California to pass a bill
for a uniformity in the color and
texture of the paper employed in the
ballots used in this State. The same
violation of the right of the
to cast a secret ballot
caused the enactment of law similar to
hat of California in the keystone State.
While the Republican manufacturers are
ull of lip service to the workingman
hey have repeatedly shown that they
ire ready to march him to the polls with
! marked ballot in his hand, with fore

A Contrast.

When Henry Clay invented his doc
trine OF protection to American manufac-
lures he put the proposition on the
ground that infant industries needed the
help OF the government. Clay
was the father of the idea of protection
for projections sake, as the great Demo
cratic leaders, Jefferson and jackson,
were of the doctrine of tariff for reve-
nue. with incidental protection, the con-
servative and constitutional phase of the
matter. A short time ago raisin growing
was an infant industry in the United
States, and entitled to that extreme pro-
lection which new interest might plead
for. Raisin growing can scarcely be
classed in that category now. Properly
enough, when in the tentative stage of
development, it was accorded protect
i've duty of two cents a pound.
The Mills bill reduces this duty
to one and half cents a
pound, reduction Of half cent. Cali
fornia raisins, having advanced from
the stage of an infant industry to very
robust one, are now selling for four or
five cents pound more than they sold
for when they perhaps needed this higher
duty. AS We have stated in the HERALD
heretofore, the Messrs. Blowers and But
Ter, who own the two largest raisin vine.
yards in the State of California, consider
that raisin growers are amply protected
by duty of one and half cents a
pound. The Republican editors, how.
ever, are inconsolable at the diminished
profits on their raisins. The duty has
also been slightly reduced on prunes
but the reduction is made at time wber
the California prunes are actually selling
for several cents pound more than the
imported prunes in the Boston market
An amusing feature OF this outcry agains
a slight reduction in the import tax OF
foreign fruits is that the Republican ad
ministration of President Arthur negoti
ated a reciprocity treaty with Mexico by
which all kinds of fruits, oranges head
ing the list, were to be imported into tn,
United States free of duty, thus comm,
into disastrous competition with the Cali
fornia product. The peon labor O
Mexico was to be placed upon the sam
footing as the highly paid workingmel
of the United States. Our orchardist
and vineyardists were to be subjected t.
a deadly rivalry based on labor which
was paid but few cents day. Th
Republican Senate confirmed this treaty
and it would to-day be Law
of the land if the Democratic
Rouse of Representatives had no
} refused to make the appropriation
needed to carry it into execution. W.
respectfully suggest to our highly exer
cised Republican contemporaries tina
they may find a sedative to their nerves
in considering this fine action, so deci
sively detrimental to all our fruit interest
OF Republican President and Senate.
What contrast is afforded to thi
sweeping action OF the Republicans b.
the just and conservative and protectiv
provisions OF the Mills bill towards tn
fruit industry of California?

A Great Record.

Constable E. A. Poyereno, of Los Me.
tos, came into town yesterday, bringing
to the county Jail Dick Perry, who has
been known in Southern California in
and around Los Angeles, for Twenty-Five
years or more. He is said to have killed
several men and one woman His record
of crime and bloodshed is a terrible one IF
what was related last night is true
Among his best known victims is said To
have been John Lee, the father of the
man who is now under arrest in Wash.
ington Territory for murder committed
here seventeen years ago. The brawl
which cost the elder Lee his life, took
place fourteen years ago at Downev
Perry is how brought in for assault TO
murder Thomas Phelan. Justice Van
Slyke, of Norwalk, committed him for
rial. Perry is an old man 70 years of
age.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-08-08
A Change of Front.

There is an entire change of front in
the Republican party since the Chicago
Convention. Up to that time and until
lately, the cry in that organization was
everything for high protection for high
projections sake. The platform adopted
by the Republican National Convention
even proclaimed its readiness to abolish
the entire system of Internal Revenue
taxation, including the tax on whisky,
rather than permit a hand to be laid up
on the war tariff. When that body dis
persed it thought it had done a very
clever thing, and it's members felicitated
themselves on being veritable Solomons.
But change has come over the spirit
of their dream Since the adjournment
of that Convention, a voice both
deep and loud has come up from
the masses of the people demanding
that the work of tariff revision and re-
form should 60 forward. The demand
for the doing away with an unnecessary
surplus, and for cheapening OF the ne
cessaries of life, has arisen from unex-
pected quarters, and it has struck terror
to the hearts of those who supposed that
the people had forgotten the Republican
pledges of four years ago.
AS result, the party is in full retreat
from the attitude which its leaders as
sumed at Chicago. AS the Republican
programme was at first outlined, it was
intended that the Senate should content
itself with the defeat of the Mills bill.
The plan was that the Senate should imi-
tate the Republicans of the House, the
Republican Senators formulating no
bill of their own. Behind the vo-
ciferous cry of Democratic free
trade the war tariff was to
be allowed to stand and the Presidential
election was to be hazarded on a single
issue.
Now this is all changed. The Repub-
lican leaders already see that in the
discussion on the surplus and the Mills
bill the Democrats are having the best Of
the argument, and that the people are
with them. The latter cannot be made
to see anything disastrous in an average
reduction of the tariff variously estimated
at from five to seven per cent. They
don't approve of a continued surplus
which makes money scarce, interest
high and labor dependent. The Repub-
lican leaders have not been slow to read
the signs OF the times. The Republican
Senators, therefore, instead of aiding the
passage of a just and conservative
measure, which protects all substan-
tial American industries, and cheapens
the necessaries OF life, as shown in the
HERALD yesterday, have made up their
minds to spring bill of ther own. They
will probably make few snowy reduc-
tons in the tariff, and whittle off enough
Internal Revenue duties from sugar, to-
bacco and alcohol used in the arts,a to
make a show Of reducing the surplus.
OF course this is a trick that will fool
nobody. The Senate knows very we'll
that there is no possibility of its measure
passing. 1t is simply aiming to defeat all
legislation, and at getting up
q howl that the wicked Democrats are ie-
sponsible for the miscarriage. They are
irving the old, worn out trick OF crying
''stop thief" All the same their determ |
nation is eloquent of the approval by the
people OF the great movement inaugurate 1
oy Mr.. Cleveland nearly year ago.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-08-08

THE Office that discussion will play in
the present campaign cannot be better
illustrated than by an incident as to
whose truth we can vouch. A we'll
known citizen of Los Angeles, Demo-
crat and retired physician, entered into
a discussion with one of his neighbors, a
Republican, on the political situation.
The Republican was wroth at the very
idea OF the possibility of the reelection
of Mr.. Cleveland, basing his opinion
upon the assumption that the President
was in favor of free trade, and that no
man who was in favor of British free
trade, etc., could ever be elected Presi-
dent of the United States. "Have you
ever read Mr.. Cleveland's message"
asked the Doctor. With some confusion
our friend admitted that he had not.
"Well," returned the Doctor, "you had
better know exactly what Mr.. Cleveland
does favor, and will loan you copy
of the message" which he did. Two
weeks later his Republican friend re-
turned the document with the remark,
that message is unanswerable. Cleve-
land is good enough President for me. {"
This process of conversion on intelligent
discussion of the real issues is making
Democrats by the score every day. There
is no question but that the Democratic
party has been steadily gaining in Cali
fornia during the past month, and it is
not presuming too much to assume that
the same thing is true all over the United
States. We suggest to the Democratic
County Committee that it would be
good thing to circulate Mr.. Cleveland's
message as campaign document. We
understand that the Democratic National
Committee are going to print two million
COPIES of il.
