Berkeley College Of Agriculture. In
fact. Berkeley agriculture seems to be
little more than q political hot bed with
a self-praise attachment. It spends a
vast sum every year, yet has ridicu-
lously few graduates and no valuable
results for US.
While Berkeley and Stanford are hne
universities, and are doubtless doing
good work in many directions, we fail
to see any good reason for increasing
our taxes here for either of them. Stan
ford asks nothing, and the taxes, boun-
ties and state debt already handled by
Berkeley ought to be enough for that
institution.
Southern California supports its own
higher institutions Of learning on their
merits. by voluntary contributions.
There is no good reason why we should
be forced to the support of an institute
of learning so alien to our interests and
efforts that the official and polite note
of the Southern California Academy of
Sciences to the regents at Berkeley ask
ing that its members might pursue bo-
tanic studies at Santa Monica has never
even been answered.
Our institutions are able to paddle
their own canoes. Why should not
Berkeley paddle hers? Harvard, Yale,
Princeton, Chicago, Johns Hopkins, Cor
nell, Columbia, Stanford, and our most
celebrated universities are free from the
incubus of politics. Politics as practiced
in this country has injured things and
men. Politics has been the poison that
has sickened the Berkeley agricultural
school unto death. We believe that
Berkeley would be better out Of politics.
In any case, Southern California does
not care to assume new and heavy taxes
for an institution that flouts and in
suits our students and scientific socie-
ties at one moment and fawns upon US
for money and more money, and higher
taxes at the next.

MAYOR M. P. SNYDER

The people of Los Angeles have COM
missioned Meredith P. Snyder to admin
ister the office of chief magistrate of the
municipality for the ensuing two years.
It was not because the people have more
confidence in the personal integrity OF
Mr.. Snyder than they have in Mr.. Mar
tin that the latter was not chosen, but
because he stood, and honestly so, for
principle and system of government
which the people thought to be erron-
eous.
Nor is Mr.. Snyders election in any
sense Democratic victory, for, al
though a Democrat, he asked for the
votes of the people upon the broad
ground of the best good for Los Angeles,
and as between his theory of how the af-
fairs of the city should be administered
and those of MI Martin, the people
chose Mr.. Snyder's.
Mr.. Snyder's election means, first CT
all, an economical, but not a penurious
administration, and then such measures
as shall secure to Los Angeles complete
and full ownership of an adequate water
supply system. There will be many
other factors entering into the conduct
of his administra ton which will be
turned to good account for the peoples
convenience and advantage. In short,
Mr.. Snyder will conduct the business Of
the municipality upon sound business
principles.
The Herald congratulates the people
Of Los Angeles upon their selection of
Mr.. Snyder to stand at the head of their
government In their enterprises they
will be all the firmer established, and the
public interests of the community will
be substantially improved and strength
ened.

either side since hostilities began 1t is
pointed out without fear Of contradic-
tion. seemingly. that in the territory oc-
cupied by the Spanish armies there is
total absence of law. the officer in COM
mAnd being q military autocrat and die
tator. and that precisely the same con-
ditions obtain in territory occupied by
the insurgents. The intimation is thus
given that the proper solution of the
question is in Cuban autonomy. That
is to say, the Cubans should sustain SUBJ
stantially the same relation to Spain
that England's American colonies sus-
tain to the mother country, and 1t is
further intlmated that the United States
might very properly oblige the parties
settlement. The fact that citizens of the
United States have all the way from
$50, ,000, 900 to $50, ,000. 900 invested in Cuban
plantations and in other business enter
prises. which will be lost entirely If hos
tilities are waged very much longer, the
president thinks should warrant this
country in some kind of pronounced ac-
ton But clear, comprehensive and ar
gumentative as the message is on the
Cuban question, 1t will not suit the
people. Weyler's methods and the he
roic and determined efforts of the insur-
gents to cast of the Spanish yoke, to-
gether with the natural sympathy of our
people with the cause of Cuban indepen-
dence, have pushed the issue out of the
realm of diplomacy. and nothing short
of full and complete recognition of the
Republic Of Cuba will satisfy perhaps
80 per cent of the citizens Of the United
States. Therefore congress can safely
apply the heroic remedy, even If war
with Spain should follow as the conse-
quence.
There is nothing new In the presidents
argument for the retirement of the
greenbacks and treasury notes. The pur-
pose of the manipulators of the vote that
elected Mckinley is to take the govern
ment out of the banking business and
make the national banks the only source
of paper money. There is no reason to
believe that the people generally would
approve such a monetary system; be-
sides, there is no reason why the govern
ment should retire its issue Of paper
money, unless the country is to go upon
the single gold standard basis and stay
there. In that event all issues of paper
money by the government would have
to be retired of course, but the people
have not yet called upon the government
to do anything of the kind, and until
they do it would be dangerous thing
for any administration to undertake.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

The presidents message is not disap-
pointing in any particular. 1t has the
ring of strength and character, and it
may be said to set forth the views Of a
great commoner. That very many will
take issue with the presidents recon-
mendations there is no doubt at all nor
is there any doubt that in many of his
conclusions Mr.. Cleveland is not in har-
mony with public sentiment generally;
nevertheless, 1t is one of the strongest
state papers that has ever emanated
from chief executive Of the nation.
While the message as a whole is both
interesting and educational, the Cuban
public attention to greater degree than
any other topic discussed. Undoubt-
edly the president thinks the situation
in Cuba is grave enough for the serious
consideration of congress, at the same
time he gives a recital of facts in the
nature of an argument, first in the de-
Tense of Spain's purpose, next in de-
Tense of the Cubans' purpose, and last
ly from the standpoint of disinter-
ested person. A fact is presented which
has been more or less overlooked by the
public, namely, that Spain has been ut
terly unable to show that she can ever
subjugate the rebels, ard the insurgents
have failed to show that they will ever
be able to establish government by
force Of arms. all OF which means that

NEW TAXES FOR BERKELEY


fessors on Wednesday evening the in
timation was given out that very large
sum of money, running, indeed, far into
the millions, was about to be donated
to the university This ought to be
gratifying to the taxpayers here, who
would about as soon support by volun-
and colleges as to suffer forced levies
for more distant organizations. The
meeting was devoted to setting forth
the needs of the Berkeley university
1t seems that the needs may be summed
up into the one word money" This,
taken with the assurances of large dona-
tions, is an illustration of the truth of the
saying. THE more you have, the more
you want
Mr.. O'Melveny and Judge Variel, two
of our brilliant lawyers, delivered ad-
dresses. The rest of the evening was
taken up by the university professors.
The meeting, while not largely attended,
was very select and aristocratic. Only
one of the speakers alluded to agri-
culture. The professor Of mathematics
alone spoke of agricultural work in
connection with the university. This
professor, after a short struggle on that
point, gave up and said, after all
shall have to ask the audience to draw
on its imagination for a statement of
what the university has done" In SO far
as the distinguished mathema tician re-
ferred to the university's agricultural
work, we can inform him that the ac-
count is overdrawn. No more agricul-
tural drafts on our Imagination in
Southern California will pass current.
The splendid gathering of the South
ern California teachers meetings, of
which the Berkeley professors, like
those from Stanford, Harvard and else
where, were ornaments and attractions
demonstrates the identity and unity
Of our interests as segregated and diff
ferent from those of Northern Califor-
mia. These teachers meetings have
been interesting, instructive and great

No better Republican could be named
