AMUSE MENTS.

Mr.. Hoyt's Texas Steer continues to
draw large audiences at the Los Angeles
theater. Everyone who enjoys laugh
ing should see this play.
x*#
That clever comedy drama, Every
body's Friend, will be presented at. the
opera house tonight, by the celebrated
Owl Dramatic club, a company possess
ing exceptionally fine talent. The play
is constructed on plot intense enough
to retain the constant interest of an au-
dience, yet with fun pervading through
and through. Its dialogue is bright, its
situations comical, and its motion rapid
and entertaining. 1t is altogether a
very clever bit of work, and has made a
hit wherever it has appeared. The
company includes such well-known
names as w. E. Pile, V. Wankowski,
Martin Lehman, j. B. Dennis, Miss
Gertrude Graham, Miss Gertrude Fos-
ter, Mrs. E. A. Pingree and Miss Bertha
Sharp.
Mr.. Lehman, the only semi-tropic
comedian, will be seen in the role of
Mai. Wellington De Boots, part in
which he achieved notable triumph
some few years ago, when the Owl club
was in its infancy.
The performance is to be given to ben
eft the local lodge of the Order of Elks,
SO patrons can feel that they are COM
bining charity with pleasure, as the
proceeds will be used to assist sick mem
bers or those in want.

Many People of Rank Attend the Great
Divine's Obsequies.


Divine's Obsequies.
LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE final services
over the remains of Rev. Mr.. Spurgeon
were held at the tabernacle today. Sew
eral members of the commons, Baroness
Burdette- Coutts and deputation from
sixty religious bodies were among those
present. The services were simple and
touching. Rev. Mr.. Pierson, an Ameri-
can minister, made a most eloquent ad-
dress, at the conclusion of which the re-
mains were taken to the cemetery. The
tabernacle and the streets on the way to
the cemetery were crowded with people.
Flags were displayed along the route
followed by the procession, at half mast.
The places of business between Ken
nington and Clapham were closed, and
many houses had the blinds drawn.
There was an immense crowd in Nor
wood cemetery awaiting the arrival of
the funeral procession. The coffin was
taken from the hearse and borne to the
vault. This vault will be surmounted
by a bronze statue OF Spurgeon, and
upon it will be placed bas-reliefs sym M
bolic of the deadsminister's benevolent
works. 81
Rev. Archibald G. Brown, pastor of
the East London tabernacle, delivered
the funeral grafton at the cemetery.
Rev. Mr.. Pierson then offered prayer
and Bishop Davidson of Rochester pro-
nounced the benediction.
After the religious ceremony was con-
cluded the people formed in line and
slowly filed before. the open vault and
took last look at the coffin OF the dead
preacher.

THE HERALD may be permitted to
hope that the Democratic state conyen-
tion of the great state of New York will
be so shaped as to promise success at
the polls in November next, regardless
of Hill or Cleveland, or without refer
ence to the protest that has been made
against the date thereof, the 22d inst.
The nomination of Samuel j. Tilden in
1876 was made in st. Louis after the state
convention had been held no January
28th, and it cannot be said that Senator
Hill has not conspicuous example be-
fore him, if he is responsible for the
"midwinter" convention. Tilden desired
to impress his candidacy upon the rest
of the country by the use of full meas
ure of time between the New York state
and the national conventions. We we'll
remember the bitter words that were
directed against the sage of Greystone
by the "better-than-thou" tribe, headed
by the Beechers and the Curtises, who
were silently aided by the so-called

WHEN it is announced that we are
about to have eight hundred or perhaps
a thousand editors here shortly, the
question naturally arises whether the
recent Press Club league really repre-
sented the elite of American journalism.
The gentlemen who are under way to
this coast this time would appear to be
the Simon-pure, Original Jacobs repre-
sentatives of the journalistic guild. 1t
is to be hoped that we have not ex-
hausted all our hospitality. Why would
it not be good thing to keep the un-
expended balance remaining over from
the Press Club league reception for the
entertainment of the newspaper people
yet to come? 1t would make an excel
lent nucleus for such fund. That there
will be another demand on the purses of
the liberal cannot be doubted, and from
the size of the crowd we presume it will
be a pretty stiff one. We should there
lore prepare in time.

THE retirement of President Beers by
the New York Life Insurance company
with what is in effect pension for life
OF $37 900 year, seems to be an extra
ordinary outcome to controversy which
showed that the mismanagement of Mr..
Beers cost the company something like
one-third OF its surplus. If the princi-
pie that inefficient or neglectful officers
should be retired upon fat pensions were
to find favor in practice, there would be
an end to careful business management
in public corporations. Fortunately the
great financial strength of the New York
enabled it to so through the losses con-
sequent upon the mismanagement of
the president without financial distress.
1t has assets to the amount of $120, ,00O,-
600, and is therefore very strong in
stitution. But the lesson inculcated by
this extraordinary personal endowmen;
is pernicious, and ought to be repre-
hended in the interest of good business
morals

THERE is great deal of friction in the
Democratic party of San Francisco just
now. The old Buckley element liz again
seeking to raise it's head and to control
the politics of that hard-bested city
through the agency of the old county
committee, which Buckley ruled abso-
lutely. An organization of reputable
Democrats, with patriotic names, known
as the Sutter Street Democracy, have
started in to get control of the masses.
They have made the grave mistake of
adopting the club plan, which is thor
oughly n-Democratic. The signs are
all auspicious for Democratic victory in
San Francisco at the next election if the
big and little leaders act right. The
primaries should be called under the
Porter law, and the disorderly elements
should be dubbed into allowing re-
spectacle citizens to vote, by an army OF
special policemen. Under the Porter
law the rounder and repeater would
soon find himself in the penitentiary.
He knows this, and would stand from

MOSES HOPKINS, who died few days
since in San Mateo county, left an es-
tate that has been estimated at four
million dollars. He distributed the
whole of it amongst his family and a
few close friends. Mr.. Carnegie was
recently interviewed on the subject Of
great fortunes, and said that every man
who acquired large amount OF surpl US
wealth had it in trust to be used for the
public good. What he meant by sur
plus wealth was the overplus he had
accumulated ahd held outside of his
business; and this, he declared, should
be distributed in ways that would bene-
fit the public during the lifetime OF the
owner. But Mr.. Carnegie, doubtless
having in view just such men as Moses
Hopkins, declared emphatically that
there should be tax upon all decedent
estates over q certain value; and that
this tax should be graduated upwards
so that the larger the estate the higher
the tax. In this way the money that
had come out of the people would re-

perpetuation and consolidation of for
tunes, the tax would operate in favor Of
distribution. Moses Hopkins leaves
Timothy Hopkins 5000 600. If one-fourth
of that should go to the state by law,
who could object? Certainly not Timo-
thy, for he would get $150.000 he had
not earned and had no natural
right to. We are not aware what plans
Mr.. Carnegie has in view to carry out
his ideas in the distribution of his own
accumulated wealth during his lifetime.
That gentleman undoubtedly has many
millions to dispose OF on the principle
he announces. Last year he built and
endowed magnificent academy OF mu-
sic in the city OF New York. He doubt
less has many other public benefactions
in view. But there could be no greater
one than the successful engraftment up
on the laws of the country of the princi-
pie of graduated tax upon inheritances
and large decedent estates; and the ad-
vocacy of such principle by Mr.. Car
negie would do much to bring public
opinion to consider such proposition
with favor

THr scheme Of Mr.. P. B. Armstron

THE scheme of Mr.. P. B. Armstrong
to establish fruit growers trust in this
state was elaborated in the HERALD in
an interview with the gentleman him.
self. His plan will not be aptto strike the
average horticulturist as favorable. He
proposes that the fruit growers put their
farms into the hands of syndicate,
who will issue bonds, based on the value
of their orchards, to the extent of $15,-
00O, 900, and thus raise capital to be used
in establishing eastern agencies, market
ing the fruit and in all ways that would
contribute to the advantage of the share
holders. This really proposes blanket
mortgage upon the orchards of all the
fruit growers who should go into the
scheme. However desirable it might be
to have ready market for their pro-
ducts. and to eliminate as far as possible
the profit-eaters who stand between the
growers and the producers, it is hardly
to be presumed that large percentage
of our horticulturists would consent to
become the mere instruments in the
hands of great corporation to carry on
their fruit farming on this kind of CO.
operative principle.

TARIFF REFORM IN DETAIL.

Mills is in the sulks for various rea-
sons, the principal one being the refusal
of the Democratic party to pin itself to
his coat tails in his extreme free-trade
views. He was refused the speakership
because the Democratic party wants
practical tariff reform, not free trade.
Mr.. Springer has taken the sensible
course to meet the Mckinley monstros-
ity. He attacks it in detail. Its worst
and most oppressive features are met by
bills that will correct and modify them.
The farmer is taxed by the tariff upon
everything he uses to cultivate his field
and to maintain his family, whilst
everything he produces has to be sold
in free market where silver regulates
the price he should get for it. The
Springer bills propose to lower the duty
on manufactured wools and to put the
raw material on the free list so that the
American manufacturers can compete
successfully with foreign manufacturers.
Especial attention is paid to scaling
down the tariff on cheap goods used by
Cu6 pour duu raising ~ Oh uO"i EooUo
used by the rich.
Lumber, coal and iron will be placed
on the free list, and as all the agricul-
tural implements and machinery the
farmers use are made out of these ma
terials, the effect will be to cheaper
them to the American husbandman.
| American manufactured farm machinery
is sold from % to 40 per cent cheaper in
foreign countries than in the United
States. This will be corrected by the
attack in detail on the Mckinley tariff.
Salt will be relieved of duty, and this
means that an article of universal con-
sumption shall not be made the play
thing of trust or monopoly. The back
of the coal barons of Pennsylvania can
be broken by taking the duty off of coal.
1t would stop these gentry from closing
down their mines until the supply is
only equal to the demand, and then
running up the prices in midwinter to
rates that bring suffering and distress
to the poor.
The attack OF the tariff in detail is
the true way to reform it. Indeed the
only logical way in which a fair tariff
schedule can be legislated is by piece
meal, SO that every article would be
taxed according to the reasonable prin-
ciples that should govern its importa-
ton.
Some of the bills that will emanate
from the committee of ways and means
the Republican senate will not dare to
antagonize nor the high-tariff president
refuse to sign. If they do, the RESPONSE
bility will be placed by the people where
it belongs.
The attack by detail is good policy
and good politics, and is the only way
in which the people can hope for imme-
diate partial relief from measure that
was framed to enrich one class at the
expense of another class.
