JINGoIsM FALLEN FLAT.

The government of the United States
has got itself into very undignified as
well as untenable position in the Itata
case. The HERALD has outlined it time
and time again. In fact. this journal
has been singularly bold and accurate
in its outgivings on this unfortunate en-
br0glio from the start. 1t held that the
insurgents were right, that they ought
to succeed and believed that they would
succeed. We would much rather have
had the government OF the United
States occupy less humiliating posi-
ton in this matter, to say nothing OF
how delighted we should have been to
see it take patriotic and democratic
republican stand, in unison with our
traditions. The jingoism of Jim Blaine
is all bosh. 1t deferred the recognition
OF the republic of Brazil. 1t stood off at
arms length the struggling republicans
of Chile. 1t has had about it as much
of genuine American policy as a
lizard has red corpuscles in its COM
position. The news now reaches US
from Washington that the state depart
ment expressed willingness to dismiss
the libel against the Itata on the con-
dition that the junta should sign
a stipulation to make no reclama-
tions on the United States for anything
in connection with the capture and de-
tention of that vessel. The Chilean au-
thorities have very properly contemptu
ously declined to enter into any such ar
rangement. They have sensibly ex-
pressed their willingness to accept the
verdict of an American jury in the prem
ises. The only charge that could have
been rightly made against the Itata is
that that vessel left the port of San
Diego without taking out any clearance
papers. As we understand the case,
that involves a fine, and the fine has
been paid. In the case of the Itata, an
application was made yesterday in the
district court OF the United States for
the release of the vessel on bonds. The
official representatives of the admins
tration demanded bonds in the sum of
100000. The counsel of the Insurgents
thought the amount excessive, and
Judge Ross appointed appraisers. These
proceedings will undoubtedly result in
the release of the vessel. Take it for all
in all, it is perhaps the most lamentable
illustration of the failure of jingoism in
onr diplomatic history.

EAST LOS ANGELES.
A Mass Meeting Held to Discuss Park
Matters

:
Matters.
In response to a call made, there was
large meeting OF the citizens OF East
Los Angeles held in Banquet hall, cor
ner of Downey avenue and Chestnut
street, last evening. Over 200 taxpayers
of the East Side were present. The
meeting was called to order at O'Clock
by Robert Sharp; A. B. Whitney,
county tax collector, was chosen chair
man, and Judge r. A. Marshall, editor
the Citizen, was secretary.
The chairman stated that it was the
report that Mr.. NJ. L. Wicks, one of the
members of the board of park commits
sioners, intended to resign, and that it
was the purpose of the meeting to ex-
press the feeling of the people of East
Los Angeles as to whom their choice for
the vacancy is, it being understood that
in case of the resignation, an East Los
Angeles man would be appointed for the
unexpired term and to express to the
board of commissioners the wishes OF the
people on the matter Of spending the
recent appropriation for the East Side
park.
Speeches were made by Judge Richard
Dunnigan, Joseph Mesmer, Robert
Sharp, Councilman Nickel, Robert Nc
Garvin, G. l. Mcintyre, Captain Tylor,
Mr.. Hughes, F. r. Willis, Judge +. A.
Ling, j. r. Conlee, Mr.. Spencer, Mr..
Moore and others.
The following resolutions were read
and unanimously adopted:
Whereas, the honorable CITY council
OF Los Angeles has appropriated the
sum of $11 900 to be spent in improving
and beautifying the East Los Angeles
park;
Whereas, the honorable park commits
sioners of the city of Los Angeles will
have the handling and disbursing OF the
above mentioned appropriation there
fore
Resolved, that the citizens of East
Los Angeles, in mass meeting assem-
bled, request that the whole of said
$11 600 be expended in improving the
present wretched condition of its drive
ways, identifying the baroness OF its
plots, and the development and en-
largement Of beautiful lake or series
of lakes, instead OF the present unsightly
marsh;
Resolved, that we unanimously op-
pose Ln0 expenditure Oh money allOtte0
to our park to be used for building prop
agating houses and the growing OF
plants for the use and benefit OF the
other parks, without charging each of
said parks with the cost of production
and crediting the same to the East Los
Angeles park fund.
The matter of the successor to Com
missioner Wicks came up. 1t was as
serted that Mr.. Wicks had virtually
given up his residence in Los An
geles, and had written two letters,
which were produced, stating that
he would resign if the commission
would appoint Mr.. j. G. Kays, ex-sheriff
of this county, in his stead. This
brought forth much discussion, and
while every speaker spoke in the high
est terms of Mr.. Kays, as a gentleman,
there was not one who favored his can
didacy, while every speaker insisted
that the only man who could be of the
greatest benefit to the East Side was
Joseph Mesmer.
The following resolution was intro
duced and unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we, the citizens of
East Los Angeles, in mass meeting as
sembled, respectfully request that the
board OF park commissioners appoint

A PERUsAL of the will OF Mrs. Teresa
Fair fails to disclose any bequests to
public institutions. Possibly she may
have attended to her charities in petto,
after the manner in which Bonanza
O'Brien is said to have satisfied his
philanthropic longings. She leaves the
bulk OF her property, which is estimated
at four and half to five million dol
lars, to her two daughters. She is
understood to have been thus discrimi-
native because her two sons were, ac-
cording to agreement, to be provided for
by their father, ex-senator Fair. How
ever, che leaves them $500, 200 piece,
which will come in handy in case the
old man should sour on the boys. This
reduces the chances of any public hene-
factions from the enormous bonanza for
tunes to John w. Mackey and Senator
Fair. In this connection it might not
be amiss to recall the sardonic senti-
ment "blessed are they who expect lit
tle.''

signs from the present board.
1t was passed that copy OF this reso-
luton be sent to the park commission
ers, and a copy to Mr.. Wicks, signed by
those present, and the following COM
mittee was appointed to atteud to that :
Judge Ling, w. @. Hughes, Richard
Dunnigan, Robert Sharp and Robert
McGarvin. The chairman was added to
the list.
The people of East Los Angeles feel
that they ought to have voice in the
matters brought up, and every effort
will be made to cause the commission to
appoint Mr.. Mesmer, and to have the
money spent as the resolutions sug-
gested.
Adjourned subject to the call of the
chair.

1'HEATRICALS.

The opening of the regular theatrical
season at the New Los Angeles theater
takes place next Thursday evening,
when Charles Hoyt's success, a Mid
night Bell, will be presented, with the
original great cast and carload of real
istic and elaborate scenery. As the play
has never been seen here, the following
characteristic explanation by Mr.. Hoyt,
which he STYLES "some desuitory talk
from an unprecedented source" may
prove interesting to the reader "The
author begs to state this is a legitimate
comedy. 1t is a legitimate comedy be-
cause it is in four acts, and farce come
dies are always in three. It's presenta-
tion will doubtless result in crippling
as many per night as does the average
farce comedy; but remember, that it is
in four acts and that it has plot. 1t
may be argued that it is not strong
plot, that it is not q particularly inter-
esting plot; but on the other hand, it is
a modern unassuming plot, and it may
serve the purpose OF giving some CO.
herence to the proceedings. However,
the author is not strenuous on the sub
ject of his plot. If, when the agony is
over, it has been found that the charac-
ters, scenes and incidents have been
presented in an amusing fashion, the
author win be satisfied and have no
feeling regarding anything that may be
said about the plot"

Charles Dickson, who has a reputa-
tion as the cleverest light comedian on
the American stage, will make his first
appearance in Los Angeles as star
next Thursday evening, at the Grand
opera house. He WILL contrary to the
usual habit OF stars, be supported by
perfect company of comedy players,
and will present new, legitimate,
three-act farce, by Mrs. Romualdo Pa
checo, entitled Incog.

THE TAX LEVY.
1t Was Fixed Yesterday BY the SUI
pervisors.

1t Was Fixed Yesterday BY the Su-
pervisors.
The board of supervisors, after three
or four days. deliberation, has at last
fixed the county rate of taxation. Yes
terday morning, Auditor Rollins was
notified that the county expenses for the
coming fiscal year would require tax
of 81 on the 500 of assessed valuation.
This, together with the state rate
will make the state and county
taxes foot up to $l.446 on each $lOO Of
valuation.
County Auditor Rollins now has a
force OF men employed on the tax lists
and the work of figuring out the indi-
vidual taxes for the use of the tax col
lector is under full headway.
The board of supervisors held no ses-
sion yesterday, but spent the day view
ing new roads and bridges.

But He Had to Wait Several Hours for
the Mail Collector.
Gallantry is we'll enough in its way,
but it sometimes misses fire, as in the
case OF gentleman at the corner of
First and Spring streetc yesterday. II
he could have hired some one to kick
him. for an hour or two afterhis venture
some appearance in the role OF a Ches-
terfeld, he would have willingly sup
piled the money.
The government has provided large
boxes for parcels, and one of them
stands at the corner mentioned, adjoin-
ing the regular mail box. During the
afternoon Bernhardtesque lady with
parcel stopped at the corner, and looked
wistfully at the mail box and at the par
Gel box, and finally deposited a fat par
Gel on the lid Of the big box, while she
toyed with the glove that enclosed
dainty hand. A gentleman who stood
near by conceived the idea that she was
not informed as respects the package
box, and in order to show his apprecia-
tion of pretty woman, lifted his hat
and with gracious smile of masculine
superiority said:
excuse me, madam, but you do not
need to leave your package there. The
box is especially provided for that pur-
pose"
Without further remark, but with a
killing polteness he picked up the par
eel, raised the lid and shot it in.
The lady looked astonished, then
glared at the gentleman, and said: 81
just bought those goods and you can
please get them out again"
This could not be done, and the gen.
tleman turned several different colors,
finally agreeing to wait for the mail col
lector and recover the parcel.
