most intelligent and capable lady, and
possesses the qualifications necessary to
make her most desirable member.
There is actually no politics legitimately
involved in these positions, and itwould
be graceful act on the part OF the Re
publicans to also nominate these ladies.
1t is peculiarly proper that q portion OF
the board should be composed OF fe-
males. The school department is par
ticularly in their line of work, and
nearly all the teachers are OF their own
sex. If women have made themselves
indispensable and successful as teachers,
there is no reason why they should not
prove efficient as directors. Besides, a
fair representation of ladies in the board
will place wholesome check upon that
body in more ways than one. 1t will
be a constant obstruction to the forma-
ton of corrupt rings, and form whole
some vehicle of communication between
the teachers and the public. 1t is need
less to say that if ladies make efficient
principals of the largest and most inn
portant schools they will also make eff.
ficient directors of the whole depart.

THERE is one aspect OF the fight for
supervisors which is of great interest to
the voters, and, doubtless, to the Messrs.
Forester and Cook, the two Republican
hold-over members of that body, and
that is, in the event of the election of
the three Democratic supervisors it will
be run on the came plan which governs
the sessions OF the city council. This
means that instead of drawing little
over $4,000 year in salaries and incl
dentals, the Messrs. Forester and Cook
will only receive pay for two days. work
in the week, the same as their Demo
cratic associates. They will thus only
be able to close their fms on $3.50 year,
which will be saving of nearly $2400 q
year on each OF the five supervisors.
This is surely sum worth keeping in
the county treasury, to be applied to
interest on the public debt or the sink
ing fund. With the practices of econo-
mics of this kind all along the line, in
both county and city expenditures, the
tax rate will grow smaller by degrees
and beautifully less. No clamor about
the liquor league having endorsed gen.
tlemen of excellent reputation should be
allowed to blind the voter and taxpayer
to the advantage of electing an anti
ring majority OF the board OF super.

WHAT THR M'KINLRY TARIFF is DOING
FOR WAGES.

Republican stump speakers never tire
of roaring into the ears of those who
care to listen to them the subterfuge
that the Mckinley tariff is designed to
equalize the labor cost of production in
this country and in Europe. If it only
did that, there would be but little OBJ
lection to it. But the difference in wages
between the foreign and American
workman cuts but very slight figure
in the enormous dimensions of the tax
exacted by the Mckinley law. The
average labor cost in manufactured arti-
cles is about % per cent. whilst the
average duty is 46 per cent. Woolen
goods are taxed an average of 80 per
cent, window glass 1872 per cent, cutlery
116 per cent, carpets 80 per cent, cloth
ing go per cent, earthenware 80 per
cent, and 30 on. These taxes cannot in
eny sense be said to be adjusted on the
principle of the wage difference. They
act as stupendous bounty placed by
the law IN favor of those industries. We
have Mr.. Blaine's authority for saying
that there is very little, if any, differ
ence between the wages paid in Great
Britain and the United States, when the
greater efficiency and the longer hours
of labor of the American workman are
compared with those of the British work
man.
But notwithstanding the enormous
bounties which the law awards to pro-
tected industries in the United States,
we are warned by the frequent strikes
in those industries that the men who
are pocketing the bounties, by the false
pretense of heavy duties in order to pay
high American wages. are constantly
doing their utmost to scale down the
rate of American wages. They too
often succeed in this, from the fact that
the operation of the Mckinley tariff is
to kill off certain industries in Europe,
and the men thus thrown out of en-
ployment find their way to this country
and glut the labor market. We protect
the manufacturer by high tariff, but we
leave our ports open to the unrestricted
immigration of the "pauper" labor OF
Europe. The American manufacturer
is protected by enormous duties, but the
American workingman is left without
protection to compete with the swarms
who are constantly coming here from
southern and eastern Europe.
The Mckinley tariff provokes and aids

AT THE FAIR.

A Possibility That it Will Be Continued
Next Week.
At the Orphans fair last night the at
tendance was about as large as that of
the night before. The advisability of
continuing the fair into next week has
been spoken of, but no definite conclu-
sion looking to that end had been made
last night, and it is probable that it will
close tonight. OF all the various voting
contests the one for the flag is
the liveliest owing to the indefatigable
labors of Walter S. Hoff and Miss Brous-
sart and Miss Gelcich. The Democratic
central committee is in the lead by 30
or more votes. The contest for the gold
mounted revolver is progressing fairly
we'll, ard coup-de.grace on the part Of
the friends of the four constable candi-
dates is anticipated tonight. Voting for
the sheriffs is at standstill. The minia-
ture in paper of St. Vincent's church,
made by Miss Englebracht, was put up
to be auctioned.
The ladies in the lunch rooms promise
an extra fine bill of fare today.

THE DEAD LADY OF THE WHITE HOUSE.

Yesterday, at indianapolis, all that
was mortal of a noble woman was laid
in the grave. In estimating the noble
character of the late Mrs. Harrison no
question of politics enters into the con-
sideration of her merits. She was
typical American woman-one who did
honor to hersex. There is something in
structive to the rising generation in the
way in which this then young couple,
both of distinguished stock, started out
in life. There was no nonsense about
the young wife. She was content to oc-
cupy modest lodging and do her own
work until their fortunes had prospered
sufficiently to admit OF their hiring help.
As their worldly fortunes improved she
dropped this self-imposed drudgery-a
labor of love-and met every advance in
material prosperity in the spirit OF
thankfulness to the. giver of all good.
There is something inspiring in
the wife of a grandson of a presi-
dent and the great grandson of signer
of the immortal Declaration of Inde-
pendence accepting poverty with such
ready resignation at the behest OF her
affections. Solomon said that the in
dustrious man shall stand before kings,
and she lived herself to occupy the exec
utive mansion, and at her death Queen
Victoria sent commemorative wreath
to rest upon her coffin, showing that the
fame of her virtues had spread to other
lands.
That must indeed have been an affect
ing scene in the east room of the White
House when the preliminary funeral
ceremonies were held over the remains
of its late mistress. The Presbyterians
are supposed to be the most inhexible
in their adhesion to the old time odium
theologicom, but there were to be seen in
that apartment choir boys from ST..
Johns Episcopal church mingling with
the believers in severer faith and sim-
pier ceremonials; and, strangest OF all,
they sang Cardinal Newman's beautiful
hymn, "Lead Kindly Light" of which
the deceased lady, though devout
Presbyterian, was extremely fond, and
quite naturally, for it is perhaps the
sweetest thing in the English language.
Quite evidently Mrs. Harrison was no
bigot. She had soul for all sweet ut.
terances Of pious hearts, and no lines OF
creed could curtail her sympathies.
Thousands OF our people will recall
Mrs. Harrison as she passed through
Los Angeles with her husband and his
distinguished suite on his visit to Cali
fornia. Her gracious bearing and beauti-
full face will not soon be forgotten, and
many an eye was moistened in the
Angelic City when the telegraph flashed
the news of her death.

IT is plain to the most obtuse intelll-
gence that the star of Cleveland and
Stevenson is in the ascendant. The en-
thusiasm in the state of New York
seems to be without precedent. The
registration in New York city amounts
to the tremendous total of 100000
voters-the largest in the history OF the
metropolis of the country. AS New
York is an overwhelmingly Democratic
city, this immense registration presages
prodigious majority for the Democratic
national ticket. Under the circum-
stances, it ought to reach from 70, 900 to
$4,000, which, with Kings county and
the counties on the Sound, will assure
the Democracy impregnable figures.

J. W. PoTTs may always be relied
upon, when he has anything to say to
the public through the papers, for using
straightforward common sense. In
communication elsewhere he calls at
tention to the water-bond question, and
shows that the city, if it should under
take the work contemplated by the issue
of over half million dollars of bonds,
will parallel the pipes already laid
down in the hills without effecting any
eerviceable result to the hill people, If
our people will do little thinking be-
fore voting for these bonds, they will
see that large crop of litigation may be
the harvest reaped from precipitous ac-
ton in this matter. The Citizens COM
pany is in full possession of it's fran
chise, and if the city destroys the value
of that franchise by paralleling it's pipes
the courts will be very apt to give it
ample damages against the city. There
is something very suspicious about the
hot haste manifested in submitting
these bonds to popular vote, and un-
less we 60 slow and look before we leap,
we shall find ourselves in dilemma
that may prove very costly one.

CONSTITUTIONAL amendment No. 10 is
one of tie amendments to the organic
law of the state that is to be voted upon
by the people at the next election. Ex-
perience has shown that the business OF
the legislature cannot be done in 60
days, and this amendment proposes to
extend the term to 100 days. 1t is true
that recent legislatures have wasted
great deal of time in cinch bills, intro
duced by the dishonest element in that
body; but they serve the purpose OF re-
tarding needed legislation, and good
measures are frequently lost at the last
moment for want of time. In this mat
ter we deal with Condition and not a
theory" The Doodle element get into
all Legislatures, and it requires time to
fight their scandalous measures; but
that is no reason why the honest ele-
ment should be choked off from doing
good work for the state for the want of
time. We believe that 100-days' ses-
sions will result in benefit to the state,
and that the amendment ought to be
voted for,

imagined that was Democrat. /

To ILLUSTRATE the gay and breezy rate
at which our taxes are rising it is only
necessary to cite one instance out OF
many, The taxes of the San Gabriel
Wine company were, in 1891, $1O1S.13.
This year the company has been noti-
fed that the taxes will be $127O 66-an
increase of 25 per cent. In the San
Gabriel district the tax rate has struck
the intimidating figure Of $1.S5 per 800.
A few more years of ring rule and there
is no telling where the figures would
stOD.

THE total figures of the registration
for the county of Los Angeles, just COM
pleted, foot up 81 ,64S voters. Last year
the figures were 23,432, showing a
gain of 4216. OF this grand total the
city takes IA, 1884. At the usual ratio of
five inhabitants to the voter, this would
give Los Angeles a population of up
wards of 10000, and the county rising
on $4,000. In a comparison OF this
years great register with last years
the city's gain is 2290 voters, which
would show an increase of nearly 1000
inhabitants. This is certainly very
gratifying exhibit.

And bets were made, all readily accepted

to shake. In the old editions of webster it
is stated that it is equivalent to the word
