Gladstone says the time 4 ripe for the
settlement Of various questions. Among
these are home rule for Ireland and
church disestablishment in Scotland and
Wales. The g. o. N. does not add dis
establishment in England. He would
cut of the dogs tail an inch at time.
He is ready to reform the house of lords
at any time. however, and says so. He
favors home rule in Scotland and Wales;
in course Of time thinks British children
ought to have free education, the same
as in America, and would give gen.
eral overhauling to the dwellings of the
poor.

The contest between the French and
English Canadians grows more bitter.
and the outcome is watched with great
interest. A bill has been introduced into
the Dominion parliament to repeal the
act permitting the use of French as an
official language in the Northwest terri
tories. This naturally enraged the French
Canadian members, who are almost pre-
pared to give up their lives before their
language, although it is very bad
French indeed. 1t is not impossible that
the result Of the i'll feeling between the
two factions may result in an attempt al
separation. Will scenes be enacted in
the Canadian parliament such as &C.
CURED in the American congress of 1859
COZ Should there be split, one or botl,
the factions would naturally turn to the
United States for consolation and an.

Cuba and the UniteA State

Will Cuba ever he annexed to this
country? The Spaniards vow that it
never shall be. But the time will come
when the Cubans themselves will have
something to say about it. Already We
are told the Cuban eye looks longingly
across the water to the great republic on
the northward and westward.
Geographically the island certainly be-
longs with the United States. A glance
at the map is sufficient to show that.
Alphabetically Cuba is probably the rich
est spot on the earth. In prosperous
times the island produced $50, 0OO, 900 of
sugar annually, four fifths of which went
TO the United States. She produces also
many million dollars worth Of cigars and
tobacco, and most Of that too comes
across the narrow water to the United
States.
Tropical fruits of all kinds and coffee
and indigo are grown in abundance.
There is everything to make the agricul-
turist rejoice and grow rich in Cuba. In
stead Of that he mourns and laments,
and whole plantations, many Of them
among the richest ON this fertile island,
arc left uncultivated and are returning
to their native wilderness.
Tie reason Is that the Cubans ara

Through the efforts Of President An

the American people have opportunity
to learn more Of the real truth about the

President White has been making his.

conclusions are very different from the
old stereotyped notions Of blood, dark

SENATOR STANFORD, with a fine appre-
citation of the duty he owes his constitu-
ents, sails for Europe at time when his
services are urgently required in the
senate. The tariff bill that has passed
the lower house has tackled to it a piece
of legislation which is of vital import
ance to California-the exemption of
grape spirits used in the fortification of
sweet wines from the internal revenue
tax. The Mckinley bill will probably
not be reported to the senate from the
committee as it came from the house.
Allison will doubtless bring in substi-
tute, and unless we have alert and true
friends in the committee the fortifcation
provision will be dropped on the way.
Senator Stanford, as a member of the
committee and in touch with the ma
jority OF the senate, could prevent this
but at the very moment he is so much
wanted he hies himself away to Europe.
That is the disadvantage of being repre-
sented by millionaires A bright fellow
who had more brains than money,
would be obliged to remain at his post,
if for no other reason than that he
couldn't afford to leave it to make ex-
pensive tours abroad.

year, when they were convicted in an
Arizona court. Leniency to these black
hearted wretches has cost the lives of
many innocent people, and now one of
our own citizens, gentleman OF stand
ing, of family, and greatly beloved by
all who knew him, has fallen victim to a
wretched policy that spares red-handed
Apache murderers and enables them to
repeat their horrible crimes. This is the
result of false and pernicious senti-
mentality, which is paid for by lives,
one of which is worth awhole tribe OF

How well Tom Fitch's party has fol
lowed the advice of that eminent repub-
lican statesman will be made to appear
when it is stated that the appropriations
already passed and to be made by con-
gress for the next fiscal year amount to
$547 ,355, ,795. The treasury department
has estimated the entire revenue of the
government from all sources at $780,
400, 900, so that there will be deficiency
of $97 100000. Tom boldly advised his
party to elbow the surplus in,'' and they
have blown it in with a vengeance. No
wonder the G. o. p. clings to the war
taxes. 1t would puzzle their most in
genious financiers to lay taxes upon II :
people to an extent that republican
congress could not elbow them in .

A Suggestion for the Chamber of Com
merCe.

merce.
EDITORS HERALD-While the Los An
geles chamber of commerce has accom-
plished great deal already, will you
kindly permit an eastern man, who has
passed the last seven months in South
ern California, to offer a suggestion
which may possibly aid in still further
increasing its usefulness.
As | understand it, the objects are
to assist in developing everything which
now exists in the line of production;
open up new markets and increase the
demand in those at present open; and
to bring actual settlers here to improve
land which is now unproductive. People
in the east in general have an
extremely crude idea of all Cal
iiornia, and, latterly, especially OF
Southern California. The main impress
sion appears to be that all is superficial
and speculative. and so much has been
written in an overdrawn and spread
eagle style that it is not surprising that
such is the case. 1t would seem, there
fore. that one Of the most important
matters to receive the attention of the
chamber Of commerce would be the
preparation OF more printed material,
written conservatively, and stating facts
and details. This to be distributed east
as opportunities can be made, and given
10 all eastern tourists when they visit
the exhibit. The best pamphlet for use
as a leader that have seen is that pre-
pared bv I. 5. Van Dyke for the San
Diego chamber of commerce, and it is
doing them incalculable good as it sticks
TO facts, figures and common sense. No
splurge about it. With pamphlet for
leader, leaflets could occasionally
also be issued answering important
questions which are sure to be asked by
thoughtful visitors; and these answers
would no doubt furnish information to
eastern people that in many cases might
bring new people with money here, or
help to enlarge the market east. An
other point would be some circulars Civ
ing instructions as to shipping, so ar
ranged as to furnish needed data to both
shippers and purchasers. Shipping
facilities and conditions are so liable to
changes of various kinds that it would
seem very desirable to have something
accurate of the kind. and in its way it
would be an advertisement of the cham
ber of commerce. The cost of these
would be comparatively slight.
nave taken Ine uDerty 10 make tneSe
suggestions as / am heartily desirous of
seeing this organization do wonders in
the development of Los Angeles county,
and one can't help noticing the woful
deficiency in systematic information that
exists. The secretary and his assistants,
as well as all others interested, of course
do all they can; but how is it possible
for them, with their many duties, to
begin to cover the ground that might be
covered by carefully prepared details
printed for examination at leisure?

WEDNESDAY, MAY 2s, 1890.
THE CHEEKIEsT THING YET.

San Francisco will get an enormous
appropriation to buy $3.50, 900 postoffice
lot for 100000; Sacramento gets an in
crease of $15o,OOO for her building, and
San Jose gets $3.50, 900 for a new post
office. Los Angeles. according to the
outlook, will get nothing. And yet Van
dever says he is candidate for renom-
ination to congress.
We doubt whether there ever was a
more glaring instance Of gall on record
than that shown by Vandever in his
presumption to come back to this dis
trict and ask denomination. 1t is not
the gross and monumental incapacity he
has shown of which we complain; but
his utter and inexcusable neglect of the
interests of his constituents. When he
absented himself from Washington a
short time ago, he left the bill to give
us an additional $3.50, 900 to finish our
postoffice building in the care of Mr..
Clunie. 1t was a critical time for the
measure, and he should have remained
at his post and attended to his duties.
Well, Mr.. Clunie did what nine repre-
sentatives out of ten would do;
he gave the preference to the
interests of his part of the state. When
the question came up as to the order in
which the several bills for building ap-
preparations in California should be con-
sidered, he placed Sacramento first, San
Jose second, Stockton third and Los An
geles last. He has secured the two first,
and now our narrowminded president
has intimated that California is asking
for too much and hints that he will veto
any further bills placed before him for
erecting federal buildings in this state.
The Los Angeles measure can only be
called up out of it's order by unanimous
consent, and Marion Biggs declares
that he will not let such motion pass
Of course he wants whatever chance is
left to get bill through to go to Stock
ton. Therefore it is almost dead GER
tainty that the Los Angeles appropri-
alton will fail, and fail, too, simply be-
cause General Vandever did not attend
to his business. If he had done so, and
been alert, the Los Angeles bill would
have been passed long ago. By every
rule of priority it should have had pre-
cedence over the other bills. Here
was site bought and a build
ing commenced and half way up. The
proper officers of the government reported
that the building under way would not
accommodate the federal business CEN
tered here. The visiting senatorial
committees, who were in Los Angeles
and saw the seven-by-nine building we
were getting, said it was ridiculous to
waste money on structure SO glaringly
inadequate. The treasury department
ordered the work stopped until enough
money could be had to enlarge the edi-
flee to a size commensurate with
the business of the place. Surely
measure that was to recon-
mence work that had been suspended,
ought to have taken precedence of meas
ures for buildings only in contemplation.
And so it would if Vandever had at
tended to his duties.
For a man fresh from inflicting so
serious an injury upon his constituents
as he has done to ask them to return
him to congress, is an exhibition of adj
amantine cheek such as even the pro-
verbal government mule would be
ashamed Of
Los Angeles herald., 1890-05-28

mild surprise would be greater if Van
dever, or any other republican official,
was not ready to stand for Office at any
and all times. Vandever has done as
well as the rest of his party confreres. He
has hurt his immediate constituency as
much as he could, just as his party in
congress has done all the injury to the
country they could possibly accomplish.
Vandever, on the lines of truly repre-
senting the policy of his party, ought to
be rendered the nomination.
