The people OF Los Angeles are to be
congratulated upon the acquisition to So
cial ana literary circles of prominent
and talented woman. who comes to our
city from Madison, Wis. This is Miss
Ella Giles the clever writer of mum Der
of clever books and short stories and a
poet of no small ability.
In an informal chat with Herald rep
resentative few days since, Miss Giles
expressed herself more than delighted
with Southern California. and said that
she had come to the state ostensibly for
health. but the many charms of Los An
geles had so captivated her that she would
make it her future home. Miss Giles is a
tail, graceful brunette, and is as delight
full and versatile in her conversation as
in her writings. With quick wit and
fund of information of places and people
gathered in her extensive travels, she
cannot fail to holo her listeners with un-

character of the power awarded the gov

any government with the right to dictate
how its citizens shall spend the days that
God or nature has given him on this
earth.
If the demand for Sunday laws be based
on religious grounds, it is essentially I'M
American and undemocratic.
The foundation stone of Americanism
is liberty of conscience in matters of re-
ligion. Men dared the dangers of un-
known seas and braved the terrors of
savage shores that they might enjoy
that liberty. The men who deny to or
EN- barrass others in the full enjoyment OF
the right to accept or reject entirely or
In part any religion, imperil themselves
in the possession of the views they hold
to. An enforced Sabbath is no moro
like the latter, it is an importation and q
relic of an age of intolerance and ignor-
ance.
1t is true Americanism and pure DEM
ocracy to STRICTLY construe and impartially
enforce all laws that reach the stage of
adoption. but every loyal American and
consistent democrat should strenuously
combat the adoption or retention of
any enactment that incroaches on the

ELLA A. GILES; the Authoress

said of her, at is hard to tell whether
she is most strongly intellectual or most
daintily effeminate" in her makeup.
Miss Giles home In Wisconsin was the
center tor the meeting or Browning clubs,
Emerson clubs and clubs for the study
of political economy, etc. To her belongs
the credit of penning the first article of
prominence on the Morse dramatist III
sen, and for some time her Scandinavian
articles in the Chicago Times drew pub
lie attention. Her first story, Bach elor
Ben, was begun and finished as pas
time during invaidism. 1t was publish
ed i'm edlately, and less than sixty days
the first edition of 1000 volumes was ex-
hausted. Other books followed in close
succession. OF short stories she has
enough to make GOOD sized book, and
her essays and papers on social science
subjects are numerous. For a number OF
association for the advancement of wom-
en- and has long been on is committee of
journalism. Miss Giles is an accomplished
musician, and her first contribution was
in this line, nut sickness and broken
health shut off further musical advance
ment and cropping in the dark she reached
out her hand and with her prolific pen
touched the vein which has given to the
world the benefit of her best thoughts.
The author says of herself II am merely
an inoidentalist. making use of opportu-
mites only to meet with buffetIng,
battling limitations, and from necessity
changing my enthusiasms." Miss Giles
possesses chat rare quality of magnetism
and unconsciously draws people abont
her. AS friend said OF her, she has no
sullen brow, no sarcastic smile and no
bitter word for sisters success; but her
cheerful "she deserves it alp is as ready
as her warm hand.

STATEMENT FROM ELLIOTT
He Disclaims Having Done Anything Wrong.
The House Belonged to Him

He Disclaims Having Done Anything Wrong.
The House Belonged to Him
Recently The Herald published an ar
ticle in which it was stated that Howard
Elliott, the son of II. N. Elliott, had
left the city, and that quite number of
people had said his departure was
FASTENED by fear of prosecution by the
lot holders of the Adams street tract No.
2. An account was also given of trans
action in which it was claimed by GER
tain of these lot holders that young Ell
lott had produced a bogus oruer for a
house and sold it and pocketed part of
the money, which in reality belonged to
the stockholders.
The following letter has been received
from Mr. Elliott and is here copied. 1t is
dated chihuahua, Mexico, Ssptem Der
25th:
Editor Herald: Having received copy
OF The Herald of September IS, contain
ing an article entitled "Are They Both
Levanters? Howard Elliott Has Also
Quietly Left Town." etc.. etc. l wish to
take up little of your valuable space
for my statement.
In the first place 1 did not leave Los
Angeles because | had any fear of prose-
cution'' or anything of the kind. 1t was
generally known among my friends and
acquaintance for some weeks before
left that it was my intention to go to
Mexico on business trip. | believe that
Mr.. +. b. Anderson and others of the lot
owners were aware of my lnten ton, for
| certainly made no secret of it. But to
begin at the beginning and explain my
connection with the Adams street tract
with the company at the time the Adams
street tract No. 2 was placed upon the
market. l had just returned from the
northern part of ths state, and pur
chased one share in the tract for a specu-
Iation. OF this fact Mr.. E. W. Peck, for
Homestead company, is we'll aware. The
share was not placed iE my name on adj
vice of Mr.. j.. W. Peck and my father. A
few days previous to the drawing or di-
vision, Mr.. e. W. Peck asked me what
was going to give him in case was lucky
enough to draw a house. | told him $50.
Very likely he will remember this, also
that be received the amount.
AS to the division itself, l will chal-
lenge anyone to say that it was not per-
fectly square. If it was not it was the
fault of the lot owners themselves, for
committee they elected had entire charge
of the drawing.
The share that 1 bought and paid for
drew house. The house was afterwards
sold for about $1,000, and after paying the
amount necessary to secure deed from
Mr.. Hall to the purchaser, l retained the
balance.
l stood in the same position as the 9TH
er lot owners and took the same chances
and | was not connected with the COM
pany in any way until some months after
the division.
l believed at the time and do still that
l was entitled to the money / received
from the sale of the house. l remain, very
respectfully yours.

AND THE BAND PLAYED ON
Soceeeeeeoecsoecccesescce

For the past few years some one song
has become popular and sung throughout
the country from east to west. The latest
such song Is And the Band Played On,
now being sung IN this city by that pair
of fn-de-sielce comedians, Wright and
O'Brien.. In view of the fact that of the
thousands of songs placed before the pub
lie each year only one'becomes universally
popular, and sometimes several consecu-
tive years pass without a popular song
coming to the front, something of no
new songs are popularlzed is interestin 6.
The other evening Herald reporter
found Harry Wright and Smith O'Brien
in their dressing room at the Orpheum.
Mr.. Wright was in the act of oiling the
interior OF hi. throat, that the notes
might roll out good and smooth, while
Mr.. o. Brlen adjusted the creases OF his
dress suit, but tota talked glibly of their
success in And ihe Band Played On.
The song was written by Charley Ward,
a vaudeville comedian who has written
several songs which for the most part
were seldom sung by anyone but himself.
When he wrote And the Band Played On
he took 1t to tho Sunday World OF New
York and suggested that the song be pub
lished in the Sunday World and dedl-
Gated to that paper. After the m erits of
the song had been examined the offer was
accepted.
About the time that the song was pub
lished in the World Dir. Ward, who was a
close friend Of both Mr.. Wright and Mr..
o. Brien, who were then filling an en-
gagement at Roster e. Balls New York,
ana asked them to sing the song. Mr..
Wris hit hau previously made reputation
as a comedian in dHarrigan S COM
pany, while Mr.. O'Brien had made hit
in the Ivy Leaf. When these two widely
known comedians took up the song and
sang it in their own inimitable way, its
success was assured. Soon the bands in
the public parks took it up and that
helped to popularize it, and they have
sung il from coast to coast.
Other actors have taken it up and the
song of the year is certainly And the
Band Played On. Matt Casey, its hero, is
near and far and favorably known as Dan
McGinty, or Billy Emerson's Moriarty
once was. Mr.. Wright says that up in
San Francisco a small boy, when asked
by his father what man was likely to be
the next president of the United States
imme diateIy, and with great confid ence
in his tone, replied Matt Casey" Mr..
O'Brien tells clever story of maiden
who wants to swap cher sweetheart, who
is the man In the moon" for Matt Casey.
No better evidence need be asked for
than to look on the list of popular actors
who are now singing the song.
The melody in which Mr.. CaSey's

Has Gold Gone BaIIooningf


Editor Herald Will you permit me to
point out the fundamental error of fact
in the article copied in The Herald OF
the 9th from Visalia paper. entitled,
Dear Gold and Cheap Money, which. If it
is indeed an error of fact, vitates the
reasoning of the whole article, in that it
assumes that the purchasing power of
silver has been steadily declining during
the last twenty years or more. Now this
is an assumption that is not true. There
is abundant testimony of the highest
character to prove my statement. All
reliable price tables, observation OF resi-
dents of silver countries, standard au-
thorites like the royal commission On
gold and silver of Great Britain, all con-
cur in affirming that silver has not ma
terially delclned in purchasing power in
recent years. If any reader of The Herald
doubts this, let him consult the report of
the royal commission in the tower room
of our pubic library, where he will find
my statement above corrobo-ated almost
verbatim. Besides, it can be proved that
the purchasing power Of silver bullion in
gold countries has not fallen sabstan-
TALLY. Take a single example from the
myriads that might be cited. Years ago
when the bullion value OF both the gold
and the silver dollar were very nearly of
equal value the price of wheat was
about 81. % bushel. as measured by the
bullion value of either dollar. Wichin
the present year the gold price OF wheat
has fallen to less than sixty cents, and
the gold price of silver, which was 81. 30
or more, has also fallen to less than sixty
cents an ounce, which would make the
gold valce of a standard silver dollar
about 40 cents. Now if we add one
quarter of As to itself, we have 60. which
has been the price of wheat, and there
still in the vicinity of $l.25 a bushel.
the Index numb ers'' of Sauerbnck and
other statisticans and computing the
silver price of commodities in general
directly from their gold price; and there.
by the agreement with actual prices in
silver countries will be found to be most
surprising. Everything goes to show
that the main cause of the terribly disas-
trous disturbances which have rent the
economic world since the adoption by
the west of the single geld standard, has
been simply ana purely the rise OF gold
as a commodity; and that tins rise has
been the natural and inevitable result of
the enormously increased demand which
has been created for it during the past
twenty odd years by western nations.
If then 81 liver has not fallen in It's pr
chasing power. it follows as a matter Of
course that all arguments based on such
an erroneous assumption fall to the
ground, and therefore it is unnecessary
to waste time in refuting them.

A SUGGESTION TO THE CUBAN REBEL S

The emancipation of Cuba from the
iron rule OF Spain is contamination
which liberty lovers every where in this
republic would hail with cheers and sym
pathetic congratulations; but so long as
the revolving Cubans are unorganized in
surgents without a civil government no
official recognition can bs extended to
them by the government at Washington.
There is nothing to recognize. Scattered
bands of lighting guerrillas cannot be ac.
corded belligerent rights. The Terre
Haute Gazette makes the following peril
nent suggestion which the rebels mIghr
easily adopt. ''Let them go through the
form OF organizing some sort OF free gov
ernmcnt-a proposed substitute for the
present government of the island by
6pain-and then there will be something
to recognize.
Just at present they are fighting Span
ish soldiers but with no apparent object
In view IL they really intend to form a
governme to take the place OF the ex.
lst;ng one by Spain let them set about it.
There need be no great formality about it
nor much time spent on it.
A Paris mob has uninade and made
governments for France and the worst of
them was better and more humane than
the government under Louis XIV and
XIV and XVI. Let the largest of the
Cuban rebel armies do it. 1t can be done
in night and viva voce. With q mere
onange of names the constitution of the
United States could be adopted by viva
voce vote. A president and vice. presi-
dent could be elected then and there in
the same way. The president could ap-
point his cabinet at once.
They might al be soldiers in his army.
A house of representatives could be elect
cd Oh paper by legal fiction. senate
could be chosen in the same way. 1t
might be we'll to give it set of working
rules. otherwise it might choke itself and
