fear that this will place their entire
product at the mercy OF the trust. The
New Orleans Sugar exchange and the
Louisiana Planters association have
been holding meetings to protest against
the alleged action Of the trust and to
bring the matter before congress.
1t would be good party policy for the
Republicans in congress to join the
antitrust Democrats in passing the
pending bill to deprive the trust OF its
difsrential of 1211a cents per 100 pounds.
But they will not do it. Thew gave the
trust one-half more in 1890 than the
Democrats gave it in 1894. They are
the friends OF the sugar trust as they are
of every other tarff-bolstered trust, and
Notwithstanding all their talk about
Democratic favoritism to trusts they
will take good care not to offend the
friends from when they get their cam.

A Practicsi Suggestion.

Thy Los Angeles HERALD makes a practical
suggt\tion that deserves serious attention. 1t
urges that the legislative delegation of South
ern California caucus with the business men of
the community on the needs of this section, to
the end that they may go to Sacramento an
effective. solid body, working for the interests
of their constituency. There are many ques-
tions of public policy and pressing need OH
which the people are unanimous aud which
could be presented for legislative action with
almost absolute rainty of a successful is.ue
If our representatives are united, harmonious
and active for the proposed measures. Our
local representatives have been chosen because
their general political views are approved,
but there ar. v'st'y more business issues than
political in which we are interested, and in the
various departments there ara unquestionably
practical suggestions which citizens could
make which would b of val to our legisla-
tors, who, of course, are not familiar with all
the details OF business they must be called upon
to legislate.

WOMAN rs 4 POLITICAL FACTOR.

The political woman is awaking to the
fact that she is not quite large enough
to fill her new sphere" She finds by
experimenting that there are many
things in politics that she didn't know
when ehe resolved to "emancipate herr
self from the thraldom OF her environ
ment." Those OF the sex who intend to
continue the systematic agitation for
the right TO vote and talk in conven-
tions and work at the polls" and assist
in the conduct OF campaigns, have as
certained that certain amount OF edu-
cation is necessary properly to maintain
the dignity of their proposed advance
ment."
Speaking of the efforts Of the women
of New York, who are striving to make
their voices heard sin the councils of
the nation" DR.. Mary Putnam jacob
announces as one having authority to
speak for the suffragists. that the agita-
tion henceforward will be mainly direct
ed to efforts for the systematic political
education OF women.
Suffrage leagues, she says. as hitherto
organized, have been apt to address
themselves too little to education, too
much to campaign speeches." 1t is
indeed difficult to persuade average
citizens, either male or female, to study
anything for which they have no imme-
diate use. When the utility becomes
obvious, the energy and interest are
promptly forthcoming.
The women OF Colorado organized
over the state, clubs for the study both
OF politics and OF political science. The
effective assistance, which. at the last
election, the women of Colorado lent to
the work OF deiesting the blatherskite
candidate for governor. shows an excel
lent practical result Of euch studiea.

SONS upon women in poitics" have
been offered by the organization of
groups OF womer-many OF whom had
pronounced themselves "anti suffra-
gists"-to aid in the work OF reform
election, under the leadership OF men Who
had previously opposed, with consider
able emphasis, the mixture OF women in
politics. Women who had been told
that they ehould not vote were now
urged to instruct men how to vote, or,
at all events. to stand by them and see
that they did their duty in voting. No
more theoretically incongruous but prec-
tically admirable situation could have
been devised than this, which followed
30 promptly upon the defeat of the
claim by women to be allowed to exer-
else the rights of citizenehip. 1t was a !
complete give.away-and the most elab
orate explanations can make nothing
slse out OF it.

THERE IS NO HURRY.

The convention of supervisors hal
definitely decided not to press the ques
tion of state division at this session o
| the legislature. This is a wise con clu-
sion, and one that will commend itsell
to every sensible citizen of Southern
California. To raise this issue at the
present time would only complicate
matters that are OF more i'm ediste inn
ort ance, rouse antagonisms and ami
mosities that would operate to our det-
riment, and accomplish nothing Of
material benefit to this section.
Thsre is a fsr reaching future in
which to discuss and perfect the propo-
sition, and ample time for the building

ing.
As a matter of fact the state of Cali.
fornia is ALREADY divided. In 1857 the
line OF division wac fixed. the legis sture
and the people voted to recognize two
states, the boundary of which was north
of the Tehschspi range including VII at
was then known as Buensvists county.
This action, in due legal form, was for
warded to congress- as provided ny law
and would have been acted upon If il
had not been for ths fear that South
California, then populated by ctizsns
largely from the southern states, would
secede and become an additional menace
to the integrity OF the union. This is
the condition at the present time and If
any action were advisable looking to
division of the state, congress is
the arena in which this contest
should be waged. 1t is more than likely
that if the southern part of the state
had been peoped by citizens favorable
to the preservation OF the union con-
gress would have taken favorable action
at the time the matter was presented,
for by 80 doing the union majority would
have been strengthened by two addi.
tionRl senators.
Conservative opinion on this question
admits that however necessary for pres.
ent needs a division OF the state may be,
we are not strong enough to accom- plish
that purpose, and it is argued that when
we are in condition TO enforce q demand
to this end We won't want il, having power

WITHDRAW THE OPEN CARS

The practice OF running open care

and gradations of tone coloring as well
as technical opportunities yielded by
the piece. has made it a favorite with
joachim, Sarasate and other great viol-
inists. Mr.. krauss's rendition was in
execution, expression and finish, de-
cided work OF art. He gave as an encore
Wleniawski's second mazourka.
Mics Berger's selections were, liss all

dered, especially the Etincella. She was

A spectacle like Aladdin, jr., with its

derful Lamp, even in it's original form,
