GLADSTONE ON FREE TRADE

Perhaps there is no man living today
rho has m ore unreservedly the respect
Jul car OF the enlightened world than
William Ewart Gladstone. When he
speaks upon any large question his word s
are invested with certain virile veracl-
ty borrowed from his breadth of cnarac-
ter as q statesman and his catholic learn
ing as q sage. The Associated Press gives
the substance of an interesting interview
with the grand old man" by ex-Post-
master General James. who has just re-
turned from Europe. During the course
of our conversation" he says, Mr.. Glad
stone affirmed again his sentiments on
the Armenian question and said, in
effect, that the civilized world would
not let the outrages continue or go on
without reparation, and that the atroci-
ties must STOP"
The writer CHANGED to be in London at
the time MI. Gladstone made his tremen-
dous speech on the Armenian outrage,
and was struck with the profound sensa-
ton created by il. The London Chron-
icle containing the stenographic report of
the speech was in such great demand
that a very large extra edition had to be
Aub VII W supply puO VI tHC
public.
But the most significant and eloquent
utterance of the great statesman in his
interview with Mr.. James, was his mes
sage to the American people.
Some one present remarked that En-
gland had secured free trade through
protection.
II want you to take this message to the
American people for me- said Mr.. Glad
stone. II want you.to tell them that
when the United States of America
adopts.free trade she will be the greatest
commercial power on the globe and she
won't hurt England either. When the
United States adopts freq trade she will
have from 50 to 60 per cent of the carry
ing trade of the world and England will
have % per cent more than she has to-
day"
Never was truer utterance com pressed
within the com pass of as many words.
The narrow and superficial idea that re-
strictsd commercial intercourse between
countries can be beneficial under any
normal conditions is one that will be dis
sipated before the present century eX-
pires.

BETTER THAN GOLD
BY FATHER RYAN

Better than grandeur, better than gold,
Than rank and titles thousandfold,
Is healthy body and mind at ease
And simple pleasures that always please
A heart that can feel for another's woe
With sypmathies large enough to enfold
All men as brothers, is better than gold.
Better than gold is conscience clear,
Though toiling for bread in an bum BILE
sphere,
Doubly blessed with content and health,
Untired by the lusts and cares of wealth,
Lowly living and lofty thought
Adorn and ennoole the poor mans cot.
For mind ana morals in natures plan
Are the genuine tests of a gentleman.
Better than gold is peaceful home
Where all the tireside characters come,
The shrine of love, the heaven of life
Hallowed by mother or sister or wife.
However humble the home may be,
Or tried by sorrow WITH heavens de-
cree,
The blessings that never were bought or
sold
And center there are better than gold.

MEMENTO MORT SIGNS

The wheelmen are bringing forwar
reasons for placing guide boards on our
county roads. This excellent move mi t
be supplemented by an attack on the de-
facement of fences, trees and objects of
natural interest by quack medicines and
the whole tribe of advertising fakirs.
One of The Herald representatives re-
Gently took an extended drive through a
district southwest of Los Angeles. At
every road turn there was some under
takers advertisement, and sometimes the
signs of several such rival firms were In
sight at once. Neatness and despatch in
being shutfied off into the dust was set
forth for the editcation of those on the
roads intending to die.
This thoughtful attention of the funeral
directors of the county might be kindly
received as the outgrowth of justihable
opinion that those who travel suci roads
contemplate Observation-Disclosures. on the
other hand, in winter it is a cold well
come to our eastern visitors to confront
them on country drive with thousand
notices of how and where to be buried.
The supervisors might with great ap-
plause order the removal of all sue h sign:
and prohibit under proper fines the con-
tinuance of an ugly practice.

SENSIBLE REPUBLICANS

The Republicans are wise in their day
and generation. They have discovered
thatsthe freed of the manufacturers put
them so palpably in the wrong as to
many schedules of the Mckinley act that
they make haste to explain, now that they
are again about TO go before the people.
They know that the Mckinley act was
neither popular nor tolerable, and that
they were beaten bv t-squarsly beaten
In q clean popular canvass. Seeing that
tho currency question is liable to settle
itself upon business lines, and knowing
that considerable portion of their party
will insist that the tariff question must
be gotten up again somehow, it is neces-
sary to pave the way for it.
And the way they are doing it IS cred
,tabIe. They know they must say some
thing, and that something is mainly dis
svowing what they are suspected OF as
pens upon doing. The wise leaders of
the party have made no secret Of their
vhiie holding to the doctrine. Many
thugs have lately occurred to emphasize
this desire, For instance, within the last
few weeks the Western Association of
Paint and Varnish Manufacturers and
Dealers have starred u movement for a
non partizan tariff. and ara circulating
petitions to this end. This IS one of
many manifestations OF the temper Of
the reopls-mainly, of course, business
men. This movement, though yet only
hinted at Is known to be sincere and

GAMBLING AND LAWBREAKING AT THE
FAIR

The most prominent exhibits at the
fair at Agricultural park yesterday were
gam bling devices which are prohibited
by the state law; the fair is conducted
under the auspices of tie state, so this ref
erence to illusions is easily understood.
In defiance of the law, in contempt of
the self-respecting people of the state
and with a desire to get dollars, no mat
ter by what means, the directors, one of
whom is General Barrett, recently favored
by Governor Budd, yesterday permitted
wheel of fortune, a roulette wheel and
sequently large nun Der of visitors were
swindled and cheated out of their m oney.
Sheriff Burr knows what the law Is and
how to enforce it; the good people of the
city and county expect him to do his
duty and will hold him responsible for a
continuance of the criminal proceedings
at the race track. Chief of Police Glass
has not minced matters in dealing with
the gam blers in the city; he did not wait
for tbs citizens to come forward and
swear to Dom plants, but he obeyed his
oath of Office and drove the swindlers out
of town. With this example before him
there is no necessity for inaction on the
part of the sheriff, and the quicker that
honest, capable officer acts the better.
There are other Objectionable features
about the conduct of this fair which will
be touched on in later issues.

KEYS

Long ago In the old Granada, when the
Moors were forced to fee,
Each man locked his home behind him,
taking in his flight the key.
Hopefully they watched and waited for
the time to come when they
Should return from their long exile TO
those homes so far away.
But the mansions in Granada they bad
left IN all their prime
Vanished. as the years rolled onward,
meath the crum bling touch OF time.
Like the Moors, we all have dwellings
where we vainly long to be-.
And through all lifes changing phases
ever fast we hold the key.
Our fair country lies behind us; we are
exiles. too, in truth.
For no more shall We behold he.. Our
Granada's name is Youth.
We have our delusive day dreams, and
rejoice when, now and then,
Some old heartstring stirs within US, and
we feel our youth again.
ave are young" we cry triumphant,
thrilled with old-time Joy and glee.
Then the dream fades slowly, softly, leav-
ing nothing but the key.

THE POLITE WORLD

Mrs Ben Wards charming home was
made bright and lovely yesterday after
non with profusion of flowers and the
merry voices of thirty-six ladies, invited
to the hospitable home to do honor to
Mrs. Wards fourth wedding anniversary.
Tho rooms were artistically decorated
with white and yellow ohrysanthem ums,
and on the mantel was dainty array of
Law France roses and maiden-hair fern.
The afternoon was delightfully."- spent in
the enjoy ment of French whist, the
score being kept on square cards with
rules for the game on one side. In one
corner was the French flag, with quo
tation In French underneath. This
Afternoon was concluded with the dlstrlb-
ing OF the prizes and serving of delicious
refresh M ents, the ices being formed in
tiny chickens nestled in spun candy.
Mrs. Aull was the winner of the first
prize, a handsome chop platter decorated
in volets. Mrs. +. X. Rule won the
second, gold sugar spoon with Dresden
handle. The third prize was pretty
cup and saucer which went to Mrs.

Mrs. Ward was assisted by Mrs. Widney,
Mrs. Barker and Miss kregelo.

ing into the excitements, crowding and
physical inactivity OF cities must expect
heavy wedding process before an adap-
tativn of constitution to such entirely
new conditions takes place.
Among the weaklings there is often ser-
lous injury TO some special organ before
saftey is sought in flight. In such case
whether it Is lungs or liver, brain or
stomach, the winter retreat should be
chosen with great care. Places close to
each other, as Nice and Mentone, Pal
atka and Townsville, Santa Barbara and
Olal, vary markedly in their effect on
advanced organic diseases. But, speak
ing generally. what the great army OF
half invalids need is sunny, outdoor
winter climate, mild enough to put but
small strain on a weak vitality, and
bracing enough to invite to outdoor ex-
ercise, easy of access and with comfort
able accom- m odations. Such districts are
practically lin tied to three-the Mediter-
ranean resorts. Aiken, Ashville and Flor
ida on the Atlantic coast, and Southern
California.
On the Mediterranean a safe course for
the sinvalid demands the exclusion OF
everything outside of the Rivera.
Egypt, indeed, has three months of ideal
climate. But the invalid should not go
there ne1OrP DechmD Der nor remain altor
the middle of March. The Knamseen
winds which we read about as the simeon,
commence in that month, and each one
of them brings breath of death out OF
the desert to the old and fesbe.
Crossing the Mediterranean III March is
not safe proposition for the invalid, and
besides one mast land in port from
which prompt fight is essential. The
difficulty of getting out of Egypt into
safe March retreat is decided bar to the
enjoyment of it's ruins, its oriental life
of today, and to the delightful boat
dresm on the Nile. The rise of the Nile,
flooding the whole country, and the fall
of the Nile to IA green dribble of sewer
age. with the endemic diseases growing
out of these conditions. such as the an
nual plague of boils, make Egypt imposs-
ible except for its few good months.

liable to start an open rebellion should
McKinleyism assert itself as the policy
of 1896. New England Rspu blicans are
opponents of the spreading conservativ G
feeling, as witness what the Massachu-
sets state convention Of that party did
last week. Here is their main declara-
ton on the tariff issue:
1--WE are not pledged to any schedules.
We only pledge to each American indus
try such protection as shall equalize
differences OF the price of labor, and to
that the farmer and miner are az much
entitled as the manufacturer ana the ar
tisan. In determining that we are not
bound by presidents and theories, we are
governed by the teachings of experience,
and ara as ready to learn from the exper-
iments Of our adversaries as OF ourselves,
from failure as we'll as from success
All this is equivalent to saying that
they will do the conservative thing they
will raise by taxation what money is
necessary. learning from all sources and
bound by no previous policy or acts.
They are at bay, brought face to face with
the fact that, after all, there is no excuse
for tax upon imports except for purposes
of revenue, and measured by the nations
needs. They have practically come to
Democratic doctrine and must stand on
Democratic ground. In iced. there is no
move nor sign of move anywhere in this
broad land, III favor of disturbing the
present tariff, except in the contingency
of its permanent failure to produce
sufficient revenue-the income tax hay
ing failed.
1t is most encouraging sign of the
times when great party can say what
these Massachusetts Republicans so brave
ly said the other day-"We are governed
by the teachings OF experience. and are
as ready to learn from failure as we'll as
from success" And now, having gone thus
far, what blessed thing it would be if
that party which deserved SO much Of
commentator in the early days, could

cession and promise to give up Its bad
habit of decrying the state of business,
dsparaging and dlscrediting the financial
standing of the nation fomentlng disturb
ances, promoting distrust and generally
inhanIng the passions and prejudices
which its better im pulses and interests
ought to prompt it to appease. But the
party has made a beginning, and that is
something-from such a source and in
such season.
