THE HERALD IN EVIDENCE

The Los Angeles Herald of yesterday ap-
peared in an Illuminated cover, and was
an excellent journal in all respects The
paper is also using typesetting machines
now, one of which is capable of setting as
much type in two hours as is used by the
Democrat daily. The five typesetting ma
chimes used by the Herald can do as much
work with five men as was formerly ac-
complished by twenty. y.-Hanford Demo-
crat.
The Los Angeles Herald has for the past
month or two been in a transition stage,
having undergone a change of proprietors,
editors and quarters. 1t now appears in
new dress and greatly improved in every
department. Last Sunday it came to us
in twenty-four pages, enclosed in a very
striking and handsome cover in purple
and brown. 1t is a credit to Southern
California Orange News.

The change in makeup of the Los An

is decided Improvement, and one which
will be appreciated by the readers. As
that journal says, you don't buy news

ferable to quantity Monica Out

Last Sunday morning the Los Angeles

THE NATIONS HOPE

Sixty million freemen honor the men,
| ory of George Washington today. Millions
more must offer unconscious homage to
the patriot who struck down tyranny and
| proved to the world that ''the divine
right of kings" is fallacy-a hoary su-
perstition to alright and abash the con-
| sciences of slaves.
| Every schoolboy knows the history of
the epoch in which Washington lived and
| struggled and conquered. There is none
so ignorant that he cannot appreciate the
lesson of that period and understand its
application or its effect upon the events
of the age. 1t is not everyone, however,
who realizes the distance we have drifted
from the original mooring of the ship OF
state. Not that the people are less pa
triotic--on occasion they can rise to every
emergency; but they are prone to a
conservatism that requires tremendous
emergency to rouse them. They are long
suffering under expressions more tyran-
nous than those imposed by George the
Third. They have permitted syndicated
wealth to dictate to their Congresses and
Legislatures and they have rested supinely
under the dead weight of trusts and cor
porations and a succession of political
oligarchies more arrogant than Hano-
verian usurpation or Tory feudalsm.
Human nature is Interchangeable. 1t is
the same today as it was when the i'm
mortal signers delivered their famous
ultimatum to the fatuous old man of
Whitehall. The spirit of '76 is as strong
in the American people today as it was
when they routed Hessians in the
Carolinas and chased Tarleton's To-
ries through the swamps of the Old
Dominion. The people of this coun-
try are Just as determined in defense
of their battle-won privileges as they were
when they uttered their Declaration of
Independence. 1t may be that they will
continue to submit a little longer, but the
end is inevitable and the new Declaration
is being framed-the nation is debating
the policy of the Government at the bal
lot box-the disobedience of the servants
of the people and the autocratic attitude
of syndicated wealth will be attended to
hereafter.
1t is not denied that the institutions of
this country have been shifted from the
foundations laid by Washington and JET
ferson and Adams and Hamilton, and it
is agreed that unless they are placed upon
the original pedestal the structure of
democracy will crumble and repubicanism
become byword amongst nations. But
the lesson taught by the founders of the
Republic has not been forgotten by the
people, and where one Washington girded
on the sword to marshal the host of pa
triots, million OF patriots are ready to
respond to the call Of duty in the hour of
their countrys peril, whether it be from
foreign invader or the treason that stalks in
the councils of political parties. There will
be a revival of patriotism long before this
generation has passed away, and the
memory of the Father of his Country will
once more shine doubly resplendent in
the hearts of liberty loving people.
Demagogues and political tricksters have
been long enough at the helm of state; il
is now time that the people began to look
after their own affairs.
And they will do it.

Too Much for Detective Wiggins
FROM HARPER's BAzAR.

FROM HARPER's Bazaar,
lie was the best detective that the world had
ever known;
If sleuth- hounds had monarch he have oc.
cupied the throne
In all his life--'us history--he'd never once
been stumped
But on a sudden, sad to tell, his stock it sorely
slumped.
II anybody lost pin in some far-off haystack,
He'd take the midnight train. and morn would
find the pin brought back.
II there were thieves around about who'd
baffled every one,
The minute he took up the case they knew
their game was done.
If there were murder of the most mysterious
detail,
In which cen Mr. Sherlock Holmes would have
been sur to isil,
They'd call Detective Virgins in to ferret out
clue.
And every time he did it they discover it was
true;
But I-yes, I'm responsible for Mr.. wiggins
didn't mean TO pull him down, or injure him
at all.
I simply had a mystery--'tis very sad to tell
1 went to him to have it solved, since he had
clues TO sell.
'oh, Mr.. Virgins. SIR" said I. "will you find
out for me
The thing 1 am dying for to know?-'tis
wrapped in mystery.
A point it is that comes at night and all my
dreams doth haunt
What is 1t all these women of today think that
they want?
"Why do they wish to go and voter What sort
of slaves are they?
Who is it, too. that holds 'em all in bondage.
tell me pray?
And what's this tyranny Of man we hear so
much of late?
And who has any scheme by which to remedy
their state?
"And what's that state? Who brought it on?
Get me the villains name
II woman lives in bondage tbs rank and burn
ing shame.
But ere take up arms for her I'd truly like TO
Just what she thinks she wants, end what's
her remedy"
And Virgins worked by day, by mig ht; h g
worked for weeks and weeks.
His eye grew dull and listless and the color left
his cheeks,
And fina y he gave it up and died he was
To find one mystery so deep he couldn't fathom

was to prevent just such attempts that the
patriotic army had fingered near the city
instead OF seeking greater comfort and
immunity from service, by retiring to the
interior. The rumor, fortunately, proved
to be unfounded; but the desperate COM
dition of the troops was forcibly reflected
in the replies of the two Generals
Huntington and Varnum, whom the cons
mander ordered to march against the en-
envy. Fighting will be far preferable to
starving" writes Huntington. My
brigade are out Of provisions, nor can the
commissary obtain any meat. " 1T is a
very pleasing circumstance to the division
under my command" writes Varnunl,

unusual severity. The ground was covered
with ice and snow, and the line of march
was marked by blood stains from the feet
of many gallant fellow whose shoes had
been worn out on other fields while etriv-
ing so long and earnestly for the cause of
liberty. Hatless, coatless, hungry and
cold, this immortal band set to work to
provide shelter for themselves. Not man
finched, not one shrked his duty.
The sick and sorely wounded found tenn
porary shelter, as best they might, among
the farmers in the neighborhood. A city OF
log huts sprang up along the hillside. In
each of these rude dwellings, fourteen feet
by sixteen, scarcely high enough to per-
NIT one to stand uprigh, ay-daubed
and filled, with roof of slabs and fireplace
of logs and mortar, twelve soldiers or
non commissioned officers were quar-
tered. A brigadier or other general
officer enjoyed the luxury of whole hut
to himself, and the same was allowed to
the staff of each brigade and regiment.
The huts of rank and file fronted on
streets, while the officers quarters formed
a line in the rear, the general arrange
ment being not unlike the modern camp
of our militia.
Scarcely had the men begun their work

HARPER's BAZAR

Each human pain,
That for each aching human heart
Ours ached again.
