SENATOR STANFoRD's proposed bill, allowing the
government to lean money at low rate of interest
to the farmers, is scarcely expected to become a
law, as it is claimed by some parties to be uncon-
stitutional. The senator, however, in submitting
the bill, will be following law of wisdom in ma
ture neither will it be the first piece of wisdom
dashed by breaker upon the rocks Of constitu-
tionalism and lost The senator evidently under
stands farming, and knows that when the farmer
discovers the branches of his fruit trees are dying
leaves willing and the fruit dropping off he doesn't
mix lotion and with flannel rag begin to rub
the limbs and battle the leaves. Oh, no! he
straightway hauls load of rich earth, digs down
about the roots Of the tree, throws out the stones
and exhausted earth, and fills In the rich SOIL
Now, the farmer is the root Of every nation The
senator has discovered that something is wrong
with some Of the branches Of prosperity in our
country, and straightway, with the unerring In
stinct of natural wisdom, he proposes to doctor
the root Good for Senator Stanford.
ROSE TERRY Cooks article in opposition to the
ballot for woman is in the Home-Maker for March.
The fact that the Home Maker gave Lucy Stone
the first hearing and her opponent the second to
answer her arguments, has peculiar significance
The law prescribes that the defense shall have,
with its many or few arguments the benefit Of
second hearing and every chance to clear itself.
Time was when suffrage agitators would have
had that enved position of the defense given them.
Are the arguments against that still unpopular
reform growing less?
The position taken by the writers in the debate
in the Home Maker would seem to indicate it so.
Each year marks some mile-post on the stony
path of reform
And when the sunlight of intellectual advance
ment beams forth In all its radiance it will one day
illume triumphal arch that shall mark new era
to the world.
ROSE TERRY Cooks arguments against suffrage
in the Home-Maker are embellished with beautiful
sentiments-but now and then she aims a dart at
her sisters, whose poison-tpped end cannot fail to
sting.
Rose has the old-dme theory to offer. She be-
lieves in toastng her toes at the fire and having
stout pair Of masculine arms to bring In the fuel.
So do we all of us.
As in the case Of all opponents, she allows a
principle to become obscured by a tangled mass Of
details. One cannot help but notice that the large
hearted broad-mnded suffrage woman takes a
higher standard for womanhood and urges her sis
tiers to live up to it, believing that mind not sex
limits capacity.
This is the argument Of the other side well couched
in Rose Terry Cookies words. After mentioning

NELL NELSON tells In the World of the forgotten
and neglected child of labor in her daily struggles
for bread in the mills, shops and factories of New
York. Many of them manage to exc out an ex-
istence on the pittance paid them weekly but how
they do it is and ever will be matter of conjec-
ture. Some of the large factories visited employ
many hundreds during the busy season. and often
times one-half of that number are women and
girls. Speaking of the dread they feel Of losing
their positions, she says, this may account for the
stern industry and oppressive silence that pre-
vailed in the workshops visited Describing her
visit to large tobacco factory, she says:
"Foremen moved about, stopping here and
there to look over a girls shoulder, sometimes
getting distastefully near to show her how better
to execute the roll or turn of moist brown leaf
all the time putting the smoke of his cigar in her
face. | am not sure that she was Indifferent to
the sitting fumes and the close contact with his
brawny arms, but she gave no evidence whatever
of the effect on her. And it is in just this sort Of
subugation, this fear to make an cutlery or resent
an incvility, that the spirit is being crushed out
of our working girls
That it has tendency to lower the moral tone
Of the shop and dull the finer sensibilities of the
girls nature, even the most thoughtess will admit.
When one of them was asked if she liked her
work, she wisely replied by asking the questoner,
"Woud your" Another said she had been seven
years at the slavsh work and was so tired that il
the building caught fire she would make no effort
to escape. Some parts Of the cgar-makng re-
quire the worker to moisen the cigar with the lips.
The operators working in this room nearly all
suffer from soreness of the mouth. Sunday is the
only day out of seven when the working girl is
free, and as all respectable places of amusement
are closed, she must perforce 60 where she can,
not where she would Many columns are given to
the touching details of the trials and prvations so
silently and so bravely endured by the uncompain-
ing workers. The crying demand for women as
factory inspectors is urged, and the closing re-
marks of this article are worthy of thoughtful con-
sderation.

The Protest Reiterated with Comments.

The Protest Reiterated with Comments.
EDITORS HERALD: Although the prop
erty-owners on Broadway put in their
protest in writing, with their own sigma
lures attached, against the opening at
present of that street into Main, on the
south, the council rode rough-shod over
their wishes, and ordered the street
opened. The mayor vetoed the ordi-
nance, assigning very cogent reasons for
his action. The protestants, who are
some of the best and most influential
citizens of Los Angeles, were amazed by
the statement made by Bonsall, of the
board of public works, at the meeting of
the council on the Goth instant, that
there was no opposition to the opening
of the street. How public official
could thus deliberately, in writing, over
his own signature, in the face of the pro-
test filed with the council only short
time before, make such bald state
ment, so contrary to the truth, | cannot
conceive. Naturally the protestants
felt deeply outraged, and in self-defense
they were compelled to reiterate their
protest, which latter was signed by
sixty-eight names, representing over
5000 feet of frontage, thus giving the lie
to this shameless councilman; when, to
add insult to injury, the president of
the council, who seems to be the Meph-
istopheles who wants to bulldose this
scheme through in spite of the opposition
of property-owners, of the mayors veto
and OF decency, takes the floor like any
common demagogue and abuses decent
citizens who are sick and tired of being
taxed out of their property and badgered
to death by this council. He also i'm
pudently insinuates that some of the
names on this last protest are forged !!
In response to which tell him to his
teeth he is base calumniator Every
name on that paper is signed by the
parties themselves, or by persons hav-
ing full authority to thus sign. This l
know of my own knowledge.
1t is a sad day for any community
when public officials, on technicalities
or otherwise, unblushingly perver the
truth in order to carry through
their corrupt and selfish schemes
when legislative bodies char
acterize executive vetoes intended
to check their mad acts "as
scolding messages" )" and when presid-
ing officers insult members for merely
citing the law which should govern
such legislative free-booters and dema-
gogues All the signers of the second
protest stand by their first one, and it
is simply impudence and a gross falsif-
cation of the record for the council to
assert, without any authority whatever,
that one single one of said last signers
has gone back on the original protest.
The property-Owners on Broadway
feel grateful to Councilmen McLain and
Summerland for standing by them in
this fight. @. e. HUBER.

How Heated Political Times Unloosen
PEOPLES Tongues.


At the corner of Spring and Court
streets, yesterday, from about ten
O'Clock till four lot of politicians and
people who had presumably more time
than money to squander listened to a
few orators, whose scope went all the
way from the merits of bull pup to
those of the Mckinley bill. Several
people had an ear talked off, while
others came near fainting from the flow
of words. One man was seen to walk
away on crutches after having blown
his bazoo until he had talked himself
lame. Yet the enthusiasm remained
unabated, and after one batch of people
had been "chinned" until they were
weary and dazed, fresh contingent
would come, who, if they knew any
thing when they arrived, left in state
of such innocuous idiocy that they
couldn't tell the court house from a
sentry box. In the heated term OF pol
itics the safety valve OF many a fellow
who couldn't address an old maid with
spectacles, without suffering is opened,
and he can out talk any ancient prevar-
icating auctioneer.

There is war and dissension in the cor
poration of the Holiness band. Certain
of its members have become schismatics
and are no longer willing to be called a
band, but their aspirations tend to be
called a church. The larger part OF the
band is very unwilling, however, to give
,up.the privilege of exhorting space to
come to the bosom of the fold, from the
steps of the court house and sundry
other places on Sunday afternoon.
Therefore the petition of the Los Angeles
Holiness band to change its corporate
name to First Holiness church of Los
Angeles, was heard yesterday afternoon
before Judge Mckinley. One of the
grounds upon which the change was
asked is that the proposed name is the
proper scriptural name for religious or
ganization. The petition was opposed
by large number of the brothers and
sisters because the new name would be
entirely antagonistic to the purpose of
thai the Holiness band, out Of
members, had purchased lot on
IOuIbl EbiCCU dho ClCCtCo Oh
it commodious house of worship
which had at all times been used by the
band Tree and independent of any
church. The founders had always in
tended to keep it free from sectarian iii
huences of any kind, and to be used as a
common house of refuge for all Chris
tians. The change of name would make
it church, when it never was intended
under the bands bylaws to be such.
The counter petition also alleges that
the petition was made for the purpose of
depriving the band of its property, and
asks that the application be denied.
The courtroom was filled with the
familiar faces of the men and women
who dispense religion free on Sunday
afternoon on the streets and throw in
some of the worst sung hymns that it is
possible to hear. Among the rules and
bylaws of the band filed as evidence is
one which prohibits members from 60
ing to law with each other. 1t cannot be
said under the circumstances that the
bylaws have proved very binding.

THEY WILL SEVER.
The Wife of a Prominent Merchant
Applies for a Divorce.

A suit for divorce, which ought to
have been anticipated long ago, was
begun in the superior court few days
ago, but it has been kept very quiet by
all parties concerned. AS the law does
not allow the county clerk to show the
papers in that class OF cases, no inkling
that big divorce suit was on hand
could be obtained from that source.
The parties to it are both well-known
and prominent people of this city, the
husband having been in business here
for himself about ten years, during
which time he became very prosperous.
Unfortunately for his wife and himself,
he has been in the habit OF going Oil
periodical sprees, during which money
flew faster than water. After he had
got over them he was model of indus
try, working like a beaver. Several
times the wife has threatened to sepa-
rate from her husband when he was on
one of his "busts," which lasted for
days and nights, during which he would
remain absent from home. While
in this convivial condition the defendant
would visit questionable resorts, where
champagne (at double rates) was freely
offered to the demi-monde ladies and
the gentleman's boon companions. In
order to break himself of his habit of
going on jamborees, the defendant un-
dertook a journey which lasted over
eight months, but unfortunately he re-
turned without a cure having been ef-
fected, and lately he has again betaken
himself to the flowing bowl. The wife,
finding life with her husband unbear-
able under such distressing circum-
stances, and fearing insolvency and
poverty, then applied for a divorce.
Yesterday her attorney obtained for her
from Judge Van Dyke an order restrain
ing the defendant from disposing of any
OF the community property during the
pendency of the suit. For obvious rea-
sons the names of the parties are not
given.

40 dead animals were reported to the po-
lice, and subsequently removed by the
