THE TINES SOuAwKER.

Editor Herald: In last Sundays issue
of the Times its avicular pretender-a
goose masquerading as an eagle
squawks in accordance with it's true
character and habit, at the cause of wo-
man suffrage, and several of the most
conspicuous of the host of noble women
by whom it was elOquently and efficient
ly supported in the late campaign.
In 1.-The eagle" column of that paper a
feeble whiting has, for months vented
pitiful slaverings and disgusting slush
in regard to the effort of the women of
California to secure recognition of their
civil and political rights. and tried by
means of a foul and venomous tongue to
bring reproach and disrepute upon many
of the best,and truest, and brightest
women of our state. Unable to justify
his hostility by argument, incapable of
reasoning, regardless of decency and
reckless of truth, he employs falsehoods,
ISLANDERS, gibes and jeers against women
who are as much superior to himself in
ability and character as the eagle he as
sumes to be is to the goose he is-as the
empyrean in which this eagle scars is to
the dunghill on which the goose waddles
and feeds and fattens. His method Of
opposing the acknowledgment of his own
mother and wife and daughter is shame
fully ignoble. For the honor of manhood
it ought to be denounced, as 1t must be
despised, by every respectable citizen.
If there are any arguments against the
elevation of women to the plane of
equality with men before the law
against giving to the mothers who bore
and raised us, the wives we profess to
respect and love and the daughters of
our homes and hearts, a franchise we
freely accord to even the riff-raff of for
eign lands dumped upon our shores
through Castle Garden, let us have them
and give them due consideration. The
friends of woman suffrage are ready and
more than willing to meet them. But, in
decency's name, let us have no more OF
the shameless CUFF and twadd1e with
which the eagle column of the Times is
SO often made odious. If the alleged
eagle is not in reality a simple goose, let
him undertake to argue the question of
woman's right to the ballot and all that
it implies, with any one of the women he
SO vulgarly ridicules. He dare not.

go to Europe to sell his surplus, where
he comes in competition with the farm
ers Of India, Russia and Argentine, but
he is not permitted to buy his supplies
in the same market at prices which mis-
competitors pay. Or rather if he does.
this government will not permit him
to land his purchases until he pays
enough customs duties to maintain the
prices of the product of his neighbor's
factory to the highest possible point.
So it is, under our protective system,
the farmer must stand in open COMPETE
ton with india South America and Rus
STA, and then pay more for goods and
wares than he could buy them for where
he sells his produce to enrich the manu-
facturers of his own country. 1t is true
that there is tariff on imported farm
products, but as the farmer is an ex-
porter it does not appear very clearly
what good an import tariff does him.
1t would be different if foreign farmers
had to come here for market for their
cereals. but as they do not, it is hard to
understand where our farmers gain any
thing by law that makes them pay an
extra price for their supplies to main
tain industries that do not furnish a
market for all their produce at CORE
spondingly high values.

The Sunday World has been making
a commendable war upon high theatre
hats. The Herald believes that its con-
temporary has accomplished a great
deal in bringing Los Angeles ladies to
a realization of what wrong high the
atre hat must do those who sit behind it,
The practice is growing here of la
dies wearing no hats in the theatre.
This appears to be the best solution
of the problem. The public can hardly
expect theatre managers to make regu-
lations at variance with common usage,
and we cannot consequently ask them
to prohibit ladies from the wearing of
high hats at the theatre. The man.
ayers here, however, might we'll unite
upon policy against the high hat
They might print, for instance, request
in red ink across all tickets asking la
dies to remove their hats while seated in
the theatre. Doubtless some meas
ure of this kind could be devised to pro :
tect the rights of ticket buyers, and in
crease the popularity of theatrical en-
tertainments.

A CONCLUSION.

'If was a fellows mother.
I'd never. never see
A single thing that fellow did
That wasn't meant for me.
I'D let him stay out after dark;
Id never would say No.
Because that stirs a fellow up
And spoilS his temper So
I'D say, Play first and study next;
And Do not go 10 bed,
No matter what o'clock it is,
Until your storys read.
Il would not know he's been kept in.
Or ask the reason why.
I'd be quite blind to all such things,
Or kind of pass them by.
I'D give him pudding. pies and jam,
And marmalade ana cake
But would not even mention bread
And all the nuts he'd take.
"Oh, were l a fellows mother
A certain ones l know
Wouldn't he have the slickest time!
You'd better believe it's SO.
"But-if I was that fellows mother,
l wonder if I would
Do half that fellows mother does
For him? Or be-so good?
IT wonder if I'd mend his clothes
Without a single scowl?
And only say, Gently, dear boy
At his most horrtd howl?
II wonder if when he was sick
I'd be so awful kind?
And never breathe, I told you so!
Or, Reg, you didn't mind!
"But only sit and battle his head
In such a peaceful way,
With something sort of sweet and cool,
For maybe half day?
"Yes-now that think 1t over,
It's most lucky go
That I'm not that fellows mother:
For the fellows sake, you know"

GROWTH OF THE STATE.

There are certain features of the cleo
ton returns which will crafty all we'll
wishers of California, to whichever party
they may belong. These are shown in
the marked increase of the vote of the
state over that of 1892. Times have
been hard since that year. and no great
amount of immigration could be rea-
sonably looked for, yet the addition of
10000 voters during the four years sIs
gests that the increase of population
which it represents must have been
made up in part of newcomers.
OF the eight principal counties in the
state Los Angeles shows the greatest
ratio of growth, having added about
10000 names to it's Great Register in
four years. Alameda comes next with a
gain of 1892 Next in order is San Fran
cisco, which cast 81, 1872 votes. an increase
of 2907. Santa Clara has gone up from
1889 to 12,O27, San Diego from 65S3 to
1890, Sacramento from 1922 to 1911, Or
ange from 1897 to 1893. and Kern from
25l3 to 1905. Outside of what may be
called the metropolitan district of the
state. in the two chief counties of which
the rise aggregates 6139. the principal
gain in population has been in the fruit
raising districts, thus attesting the
strong attraction of horticulture to the
incoming homeseekers and the probable
ity of an enormous addition to the states
output of fruit in the next decade.
With four years of good times to draw
people in. we may look for still bet
ter showing in the next election, when
by the way, a decennial census will be in
progress. There ought to be a gain OF
100000 people, including natural in
crease, and there will be unless the folly
of some of the newly elected fusionist
congressman creates the idea abroad
that California is not hospitable to cap
ital and mindful of property rights
That is the only thing the state has tc
fear The rest is plain sailing.-Sar

CRIMINALS FROM SIBERIA

few years ago seven exiles from ST.
IBERIA were picked up at sea in a terrible
condition in an open boat and were taken
to San Francisco. They told a woeful
tale of Punishment to Saghalien island
for political offenses, and so wrought
upon the sympathies of the charitable
that they received clothing and money
and were provided with work. Word
came from Russia that they were COM
mon malefactors who would have been
hanged i'll this country, as most of them
were guilty of murder. Soon they began
to appear in the courts and were sent to
Jail and state prison for various Of
lenses. One named Kovalev committed
an atrocious double murder in Sacra-
mento and was recently hanged. Last
week the last of the gang was sent to
prison for twenty years for burglary.
They have cost California several thou
sands of dollars and have given the
charitable some insight into Russian
criminal characters.

EMERSON'S WIT AND HUMOR.

There was little drollery in Emerson's
conversation. though it had sweet
ness which the testimony of cloud of
witnesses makes it not extravagant
to call ineffable. But we get touch of
fun once in a while. A pleasantly re-
corded of him is story he told of
friend who carried a horse chestnut to
protect him from rheumatism. HE
has never had it since he began to carry
it, and indeed it appears to have had
a retrospective operation, for he never
had it before"
Mr.. Emerson was in his garden dis
cussing some problem of life, Mrs EN-
erson called to him for some wood.
When he came back he said, swith his
wonderful smile, Now we will return

But he got around the difficulty. Il

history. Strangers take it away"
His daughter ran in one day to ask
who should be invited to join their berry
picking party. "All the children" he
said. from six years to sixty" Equally
tender is this in the essay on Illusions:
when the boys come into my yard
for leave to gather horse chestnuts, I
enter into Natures game, and affect
to grant the permission reluctantly,
fearing that any moment they will find
out the imposture. But this ten
derness is quite unnecessary; the en-
chantments are laid on verv thick"

MORE FALSEHOODS

The San Francisco glass works were
shut down and rust allowed to accumu-
late on the machinery because, as the
manager was fond of saying, there was
| no profit in running without high pro-
tective tariff, but as soon as the election
of Mckinley was announced the work
of rubbing up the machinery and build
ing fires in the furnaces was begun
The manager says the outlook for bust
ness is good and the works will make
money right along. The presumption is
that the manager thinks the people are
fools and will swallow his twaddle as
they would molasses candy, but it so
happens the people know that the same
tariff act was in operation when he could
not run his works without high protec-
ton that is in operation now when the
outlook for making profits is so promis-
ing, and they are sure to think he was
not telling the truth then or is not tell
ing it now.
The fact of the matter is. industries
all over the country were shut down last
spring and men thrown out of employ
| ment for a political purpose. The plan
was to deprive workingmen of all oppor-
tunity to earn an honest living and then
give them to understand that if they
would help elect the Republican ticket
the industries would be reopened and
plenty of work furnished but otherwise
not. There is no doubt at all that hun
dreds of thousands of wage-earners all
over the country were driven to support
Mckinley just that way. When man
sees his wife and babies going hungry he
will not hesitate long to vote for the
gold standard or any other measure I'M
der promise of plenty of work at good
wages.
| The San Francisco glass works are
starting up now, not because the Will
| son-Gorman act is to be repealed imme-
diately, for there will be no tariff legis-
lation until both houses of congress are
solidly Republican, but because they
have won victory over the people by
driving another nail in the coffin of free
silver. The whole scheme was to drive
their employees to the support of the gold
standard, and having accomplished that
they are ready to resume business. The
tariff had nothing whatever to do with
putting rust on the wheels of their ma.
chinery, and they insult the intelligence
of their employees when they assert to
the contrary.

THE FARMER AND THE TARIFF

The price of wheat is advancing by
spasmodic jumps, and the indications
are that considerable higher range of
values will be reached before the next
harvest, but, as is always the case, the
Spectator and not the producer gets the
benefit of it. 1t SO happens in the
economy of our commercial life that pro-
ducers of breadstuffs have to take all
risks incident to farming and be merely
lookers-on when it comes to dividing
the profits. Perhaps 80 per cent of the
farmers of the United States found
themselves without a bushel of wheat
to sell when prices began to bound up
ward, but the Spectator who lounged
away the hours of the hot season at a.
watering place while the farmer was
gathering his crop wakes fat as the val
ues climb upward.
In truth the American farmers lot is
not to be desired above all things, but
it would be very much more desirable

able life one could live if the cost of
manufactured articles of consumption
were in harmony with the prices he OBJ
tains for his products. Such an equaliza-
ton of values could not be maintained
however, under a system of high pro
lection, for what ever prevents free and
open competition with other Industrial
countries increases the cost of the farm
er's supplies. The American farmer il

irg reading. Some of yesterdays devel-

Eighth precinct no Populist vote was re-
turned at all; in the Fifteenth precinct
537 ballots were rejected and yet there
are only 431 registered voters in the
precinct. The contest for one of the city

was anticipated.
