AT THE THEATERS

Los ANGELES THEATER.-Dr. SyntaX is
unlike Wang, neither oriental nor
Parsian. 1t is American, and intensely So.
The Doctor is not, as his prefix might i'm
ply and as has been the presumption of the
health office, which is the humorous branch
of the local city government, medical
practitioner. He is professionally peda-
gogue and unlike the men of his profession
in real life, funny pedagogue at that. AS
he appeared to the audience in the Los
Angeles theater last evening, DR.. Syntax is
comical enough to spoil the usual stolid
serenity of Mojave Indian. The Doctor
is a bewilderingly amusin' cuss, whose pre-
scriptioLs consist of witticisms in running
doses, and whose medicine, when taken, no
matter in what form, makes you feel as if
the man, woman or child by your side or
anywhere within smiling or laughing dis
lance, is good fellow, although he, she or
it, might under ordinary circumstances be
in reality creditor with not an atom of
mercv in his, her or their composition.
DeWolf Hopper is a wonder. and Edna
Wallace Hopper is the cutest little wee bit
of femininity this side of paradise, where
cupids and angels and such things
are commonly reported to be run
ming wild, awaiting an opportunity to be
safely landed. Hopper is like the bright
yellow stuff in quart bottle OF Mumm,
and Mrs. Hopper is the beady, scintilating
jewels which must always prove that the
stuff is real. Mrs. Hopper is in skirts what
she is not altogether in the other article,
but she will under ordinary circumstances

or acting the part of the center piece in
your les winter hat.
1ne scenes or the opera are laid ina vii
lage in New England, and it's scheme is
dainty and modern. Hopper portrays the
role of a good natured pedagogue, whose
light-heartedness esteems it a sacred duty
to make every body happy.
The story of the opera follows quite
closely the plot of the German play Asch-
enbrodel, from which the comedy School
was evolved. IN the operate version, how
ever, the librettist has not adhered rigidly
to the German dramatist's plot or to its
English adaptation, but has retained of its
humor and little of it's pathos.
Unlike Wang, the original lyrics in DR..
Syntax are too many to be counted upon
the fingers of one hand. All of them are
of more than passing musical merit and
their jingle and melody thrum in ones
head after the dropping of the curtain, not
unlike the thrills OF an expert whistler
whose forte is the entertainment OF
crowned beads and the nobility.
There is not much of story to DR..
Syntax, although the opera aims OCCASION

Maine man, were prepared to assert
that the foreign policy of the admins
tration was weak and hating, and now
the policy of that administration is
altogether too swift for them. They
want to get their breath. Their desire
to have the bill referred to the appro-
pirate committees is not entirely with
out merit. AS there is not the least
doubt about both the senate and the
house being in substantial and enthusi-
astic accord with the president, little
dignity and elaboration in the consid-
Grafton of the Hit bill will not be
harmful On the contrary the en-
dorsement of the presidents position
that is involved in the passage of the
bill will be all the more significant and
impressive if it is made with observ-
ance of the usual parliamentary forms.
The view expressed, however, by Sena-
tor Morgan should prevail and action
on the bill be taken before adjourn
ment for the holidays. Morgan, too,
by the way, seems to have assumed the
egg-stepping tread. 1t is wonderful
how responsibility will tone man
down.

many visitors will be greatly surprised.
Aud yet we see only the beginning Of
what Los Angeles will be in the near
future.
Tourists will also be deeply inter
ested in visiting surrounding towns

days at our charming beach resorts,

in Southern California.

A SPECIAL FEATURE

Tomorrow The HERALD will present
for the edification of the taxpayers of
Los Angeles city and county feature
that cannot help but be of interest to
zach and every one of them. 1t will be-
an itemized and detailed statement
showing the amounts of money that
over three thousand individuals have
drawn out of the treasures of the city
and county for the first nine months of
the year 1895 for service. II will be a
veritable great register of the employees
of the city and county. The list of
names will be properly segregated as
to the various departments In which
the service for which money has been
drawn was rendered.
In the compilation of this tabular
statement an expert has been employed
for over sixty days. Every dollar of
the expenditure reported ia taken from
the records.
The SUNDAY HERALD will, in addi-
ton, present its usual admirable feat
ures which have made it so popular
with its readers, but the publication
referred to above will make it of espe-
cial interest to every thinking tsxpay-
or in the county. Realizing that there
will be an unusual demand for the is
sue an extra edition will be printed.

A STRIKING CONTRAST

The season for California visitors
from the east is fairly open, and if the
arrivals thus fer during the present
month are an index of the whole sea-
son, we may expect very large influx
of tourists later on. Many of those
who have come, or will come, have been
here before, and will not be surprised
at what they see, except as to the mar
velous growth of Los Angeles and
some contiguous towns during the past
year. Many other visitors will this
season behold this "land of sunshine"
for the first time. TO such persons the
contrast between the physical condi-
tious they leave behind them and those
they find here will be both striking and
pleasing.
We are now on the verge of the holt
day season. Throughout the entire
east the prevailing conditions include
snow and ice, blizzsrds, temperature at
or near zero, snow blockades, destitu-
Ion, suffering, and general dreariness.
HIVE in Southern California there are
bright sunshiny days, with nights
scarcely cold enough to produce ice;
green ields, fine orchards, gardens and
myriad. 4 of fragrant flowers, while
every kiad of outdoor business is in
progress dsily. Our local markets dis
play an abundance of fresh vegetables
and luscious fruits, in great variety
and OF excellent quality. Surely such
contrast cannot fail to impress visit
crs most favoraby.
Then, again, they will also find here

ress in modern improvements are
scarcely equaled by any other city of

AN Added PRESS

Evidence is accommodating to the effect
that the Republican press of this
country has not monopoly of the art
of being perverse in the consideration
of matters political. The English and
European journals are as skilled i'll
misconstruction as any other.
A number Of the old world papers
persist in constituting President Cleve-
lands recommendation that a commits
sion be allowed him by congress, with
which to Investigate the merits OF Ven
ezuela's claim to juris 1ictjon over the
disputed territory, into an assumption
by this government of the right TO it
self arbitrate the controversy. AS
of course the foreign editor can read,
this distortion Of the presidents mean
ing must be because he cannot or will
not understand what he reads.
70 those who have read the presi-
dents message with a reasonable de-
gree of calmness it is plain that the
business OF the commission would be
to ascertain the merits of the boundary
dispute for the satisfaction of the
United States; to bring out those facts
that would be developed by an arbitra-
ton court so that whatever position
the United States assume as the result
of Great Britain's continued refusal to
arbitrate shall be taken intelligently.
IL the investigation of the commission
shows that England is right in her
claims, there will be nothing for this
government to do but to allow her to
take possession of the territory in dis
pute. But if on the contrary the COM
mission concludes that in its opinion
the British are wrong, this government
will be obliged to adhere to its demand
that England relinquish her claims or
submit to court of arbitration Sc
lected by both the interested govern
ments. There is absolutely no room
for the assertion that this government
intends to force itself into the position
OF arbitrator.
Another inexcusable misinterpreta-
ton of the message is noted in the re-
marks of the foreign papers to the

ernmsnt should be responsible for the
acts of those states. Now that kind OF
construction of the administrations
position might be expected from the
San Francisco Chronicle, the New

in the Monroe doctrine or the presi-

to justify any such assumption. The
attitude of the United States toward
the South American states aud their
relations with and obligations to other
countries is plainly set forth in the fol-
lowing extract from Secretary Olney's
letter to Ambassador Baysrd:
The precise scope and limitations of
this rule cannot be too clearly apprehend-
ed. 1t does not establish any general pro.
tectorate by the United States over other
American states. 1t does not relieve any

forcing such obligations or from inflictiny

them. 1t does not contemplate any inter-
ference in the international affairs OF any
American state nor the relations between
it and other American states. 1t does not
justify any attempt on our part TO change
the established form of government of
any American state. or to prevent the peo-
pie of such state from altering that form
according to their own will and pleasure.
The rule in question has but single
object. 1t is thought no European power,
or combination OF European powers, shall
forcibly deprive any American state of the
right and power of self government and of
shaping for itself its own political fortunes
and destines.''

domestic editors who seem possessed
