THE MUNICIPAL CONTEST

In the teeth of all manner of opposi-
ton from within and without, probably
the most insidious and powerful that has
ever been brought to bear in a similar
contest. the better spirits of the Demo-
cratic city convention have prevailed,
victory for the right has been attained,
and a satisfactory and equable basis Of
fusion has been accomplished The keen
est fight occurred in the nomination for
the councilman of the Eighth ward, and
decency eventually triumphed, the con-
vention refusing to accept the dictates
of the ward heelers.
The ticket is one upon which all honest
men, who desire to see the deliverance
of the city from an unjust and intriguing
system. may cheerfully unite. Never
convention in Los Angeles that are in
dividually so excellent and collectively
so satisfactory. Strong, responsible and,
in the majority Of cases, tried men have
been selected for the several important
offices. The nominations for the council
are Of peculiar excellence, and if such a
ticket can be carried in it's entirety, cit
liens may have confidence in wholesome
and progressive local government.
That the bitter fight of those parties,
whose interest obviously lies in
the defeat of the fusion ticket,
will be continued to the death,
no one doubts. The candidates
and their supporters must arm them
selves to withstand all manner Of as
sault. Their nomination in this conven-
tion, we believe, is sufficient warranty
of their imperviousness to the willy bats
that will most assuredly be offered them.
Only. they must be on their guard, for
the net of the fowler will be spread.
1t is extremely probable that all the
forces of the "allied villainies" will be
concentrated against the nominee for
the mayoralty, an honest gentleman and
a tried and faithful servant of the city,
who already has declared, with no uncer-
tain sound, his answering Opposition

which the city is subject. The City Wa

BANKERS INDICATED

In our issue of last Sunday appeared
q communication from valued corre-
spondent, who writes over the name of
"E Pluribus Unum." After it had gone
before the public we discovered that he
had been misled into quoting as genuine
a document commonly known as tho
panic circulars of 49," and purporting
to have been sent by New York bank
ing syndicate to the national banks
throughout the country early IN the
spring of 1893. suggesting the taking of
measures calculated to produce none
tary stringency. The authenticity Of the
circular has been so frequently and con-
cluslvely denied that it is impossible to
doubt that it was hoax pure and sim
pie; probably originated by some news
paper man, whose desire to create SEN
sation overcame his conscientious scru-
pies and good judgment.
1t is not the policy of The Herald to
give currency to fakes, especially such
as tend to excite prejudice and animosi-
ties. Such things are likely to do inf
mite harm. and no possible good. The
Democratic party seeks the triumph of
honest principles by honest means. the
suit. If we had no moral scruples VIC
should, still. as a matter of mere policy,
leave the two-edged weapons of slander
and deceit to other hands.
1t is a matter for surprise that our sin
cere and intelligent spondent
should have been taken in by such a
transparent humbug. He is undoubt-
edly acquainted with banking men, and
must know that the great majority Of
them, like men engaged in other lines of
business, are public spirited citizens.
Every measure for the general welfare
finds strong support. financial and other
wise, from our bankers. 1t is not neces-
sary to so away from Los Angeles to find
proofs of this proposition. Whatever
faults may be charged against our bank
ing system, or whatever criticisms may
be properly made upon the acts of indi-
vidual bankers. it is. nevertheless. true
that a banker is usually man of pro-
bity and sagacity. Is it credible that
men possessing such characteristics
should deliberately conspire to wreck
that business confidence upon which
they are dependent for success and
prosperity to a greater degree than any
other class of business men? Such a
thing is absurd.
We are aware that most bankers do
not agree with us in regard to the free
coinage of silver. and attribute their
position largely to that spirit of con-
servatism, that aversion to change,
which is so natural to men engaged in
their pursuits. So far as our knowledge
goes, they have sought to allay appre-
hension, rather than create it, and when
the beneficient effects of bimetallism
shall have been fully demonstrated, we
confidently expect that the bankers of
the country will be numbered among it's
strongest supporters.

DIRECT LEGISLATION
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
BY ABBOT KINNEY

Practical politics are unsatisfactory to
the citizen. The most exasperating
thing about them is that the citizen, to
get one thing that he likes, has to con-
sent to things that he does not like.
This year we see men on both sides of
the financial question consenting to
trade and tax policies in which they do
| not believe. The mixture is very great
at this election. Very few voters will be
able to vote for candidates and meas
ures entirely to their satisfaction.
Hardly less exasperating is the fire.
quent abortion of legislation after sue
cess at the polls. The senate does not
consent, the president vetoes, or, as is
sometimes the case, the peoples agent in
a legislature, council or congress be-
trays his trust. This can all be cured by
direct legislation. The value Of one part
of direct legislation is shown in Cali
fornia every time we vote on constitu-
tional amendments. This year we vote
on several. Take, for instance, woman
suffrage. This question is not mixed up
with party prejudice. 1t has no alliance
with any other. We are not obliged to
support or defeat a candidate to take it
or leave it. The voter will this year de-
eide the question. There will be no after
histories, votes of the legislature, guber-
material vetoes. The Sd Of November,
on a. vote of the people, we will have
woman suffrage or we will not, and so
end the question for awhile. Various
other important points will be decided
in California this year in the same way.
We have had here, in the same line, de-
claratory votes of the whole people, as,
for instance, on the exclusion Of Chinese,
on the election of United States senator
by direct vote; also in finance, the voting
of bonds, etc. All these things show the
value of direct legislation in one Of its
phases.
Some say that they cannot trust the
people, but that otherwise they would
approve of direct legislation. These per-
sons think that the people would be too
radical Given the responsibility of di
rect action, the people, while becoming
more powerfully progressive, would also
become far less volatile and extreme.
AS between the whole nation in direct
vote and time-serving politicians, often
without responsibility and purely
weather-vane self-seekers, there can be
little doubt that the whole people would
be more conservative. The evaporation
citizens now feel at the purchase of
their agents by corporations and the be-
trayal of public interests for private
gain would have no longer any existence.
Bribery would not exist, because it would
have no advantage.
Besides the referendum, the system
contains the initiative, which permits a
certain number of voters to submit ques-
tions to general vote, and the imperative
mandate. This permits the people to
vacate an office.
A general adoption Of this proposed
system would remove our present politi-
cal confusion and make reforms prompt,
direct and beyond the power Of the po-
litical traitor.

ing Star, under Sound Opinions by the
Next President" quotes Mr.. Mckinley
recently saying: 1.-THE government does
not create money, can't create money"
Such may be sound opinion in the sense
that goldbug money is alone claimed to
be sound money, when in truth and fact
both have really more sound than sense.
If Mr.. Mckinley stated the truth, is It
not remarkably strange that he failed to
back and prove his statement by show
ing who does create and supply US with
money? Evidently he knew Of no proof
for an empty statement.
Money is not found coined in the mine,
nor showered down from above ready

it grow. If any American citizen UNDER
