DO YOUR WHOLE DUTY

It is pretty safe to say the Times will
burden its columns tomorrow with abuse
Of Mr.. Snyder. 1t will know that it can
print what it likes without fear of con-
tradiction, because there will be no op-
portunity to cram its falsehoods down
its throat. No doubt it will have column
after column of evidence, manufactured
by Price most likely, to show that
Mr.. Snyder has committed every
crime known to humanity, and
that his election would bank
rupt all the merchants, close all the
banks and cause grass to grow in the
streets of Los Angeles. But as the peo-
pie will expect the Times to do all that
and more, it is hardly necessary to re-
mind the community what may be ex-
pected.
But as for Mr.. Snyder. there is no
doubt at all about his election-unless
the combine has cards up it's sleeve. The
Importance Of Mr. Martins election to
the Southern Pacific and water compa-
MES is SO great that they will use foul
and fair means to secure to him the ma
jority of the votes cast. Their only hope
of success now is that a large vote that
would go to Snyder if it voted at all will
not take the trouble to go to the polls.
And they have some grounds for their
hope. A good many business men are so
confident that Mr.. Snyder will be elected
by a large majority there is
danger that they may feel their
vote is not needed and fail to 90 to
the polls. 1t is to be hoped that every
business man and taxpayer will do his
whole duty in the premises. If the rail-
way-water combine succeeds in electing
it's ticket, Los Angeles will have to carry
very heavy burden for many years.
The Southern Pacific would like very
much more terminal ground, and with
Martin as mayor it would be easy
enough to get it by the city donating
parts of three or four streets. The water
company has two schemes. One is to
renew its franchise for a quarter of a
century with largely extended rights
and privileges. and the other is to sell
it's plant to the city at something over
$4,000, 900, which would be nearly $2,0O0,-
900 more than It could be duplicated for.
II Martin is elected it will get every
thing II wants. In fact the combine
would be mayor and Martin merely chief
clerk. The combine is doing everything
that 10 calculated to insure Martins
election, but If those interested in the
material welfare of Los Angeles do their
duty, the combine will be broken and
trade and commerce more firmly estab-
lished than ever before.

INNER MEANING

The heart Of the mind" is the souls
judgment seat, and before its bar comes
the inner meaning of every thought,
word and act for condemnation or COM
mendation. No subterfuges, no extenu-
ating circumstances, no shifting of re-
sponsibility are permitted in that court,
nor Is there any avenue or channel
through which appeal may be taken.
And the testimony there given is the
last analysis of the inner meaning of all
that has been spoken, all that has been
thought and of every act. In that hall
of justice thorns hid among roses stand
apart-the thorns here the roses there
and that which prompted the thorn to
conceal itself as we'll as that which list
ened to the prompting are revealed be-
fore the searching eye of Awareness.
The principles of the law that holds the
scales of justice in that court are born
of the souls ideal existence; hence it is
the real and not necessarily the implied
meaning Of words and acts that bears
testimony. An extravagant and dra-
matte adjustment of words into SEN
tences is always we'll calculated to
please, and they may be uttered without
doing either harm or good if there be no
Interior purpose, but words spoken
merely to please for the moment are like
frost that nestles among flowers. The
recollection of the brilliancy Of the
sparkling ice crystal does not compen-
safe for the loss of the glory and the fra
GRANGE of the blossoms.
The forces of the mind may be potent of
good or harm whether they be manifest
ed in spoken words or employed in the
silence of meditation, but there is only
one inner meaning. 1t is very true that
words may be spoken in various degrees
of sincerity without contradicting their
inner meaning, or they may be spoken
without significance being attached to
full impression. But it is very different
with words spoken to convince, for how
ever misleading or true they may be, it
Is their inner meaning that ultimately
strengthens or destroys. Faith pledged
by words which contradict the speakers
purpose is a crime far more repulsive to
the law of right action than some sup
pose. The consequence of such mislead-
ing may involve the well being oe many
souls. and one makes a great mistake if
he cover himself with the delusion that
the records Of his own souis judgment
seat are not full and complete, and that
the inner meaning of what he has said
will confront him. One might as we'll
try to annihilate his own existence as to
try to escape rendering account for the
consequence of words spoken treacher-
ously, but to convince. The most hate
full wrong one can infiict upon q fellow
being Is the pledging of faith in words
that belle their inner, their true mean
ing. s
But the theme has . very much wider
The herald., 1896-12-06

range than soul to soul" The inner
meaning of the word labor" leads one
down into the perils Of the mine; out
upon the bleak and comfortless railway
section; down upon the street where
men are digging conduits for water, gas
or sewage; to where groaning Is heard
under burdens too great to be borne,
and in the weary way to homes at night,
tired and worn. where the tired one Is
greeted by carpetless rooms and coarse
food; and the meaning Of it all is that
great. The inner meaning of the sweat
system" is seen in the pale face, sunken
eyes and hollow cheeks Of girls and
women who bend over sewing machines
in poorly lighted and badly ventilated
lofts or cellars, and in the scantiness Of
their food and clothing. The inner
meaning of war" is seen in the face of
the dead and dying upon the battlefield
and is heard in the wall of widows and
meaning of all these things is seen again
in the record book of the judgment seat
of the Soul of Justice, and they who are
responsible for them must stand at the
bar, face the inner meaning of all their
acts and words and thoughts, submit to
the condemnation of the heart of their
own minds, and themselves award and
inf1ict the punishment earned and due.
The sting of the souls death is con-
cealed in words spoken to deceive, in
acts committed to wrong fellow being,
and in thoughts that belle the voice that
woos and wins. There is no power in all
the worlds of God that can make escape
possible from consequences born of the
inner meaning Of words or acts or
thoughts.

PREACHERS IN DISGUISE

When ministers of the gospel of Jesus
Christ disgrace themselves by visit
ing the homes Of fallen women.
before them sans clothing it is
time for society to inquire what
manner Of men they are. 1t Is true
they claim that their purpose was to
have personal knowledge of the wicked
ness of the women they visited so as to
be able to testify in the courts as 20
their bad character, but such an excuse
is an insult to the intelligence of the
people of this community. If evidence
was needed to prove that immoral re-
sorts are maintained in Los Angeles it
could have been obtained in many ways
without these ministers Identifying
themselves with visitations from house
to house. 1t is reasonable to assume
that there is not woman of that char
acter in the city who would deny her vo-
cation. AT all events, unless inclination
to go was overpowering these preachers
would have found other avenues to Sc
cure the information than personally
participating in the oepauchery which
characterizes such places.
The women who disrobed and danced
before these teachers of morals must
have been in sore distress for money, for
1t is not characteristic of womanknd
to descend to that level, however far
she may have removed herself from the
paths Of virtue. But If they were hun
cry for bread-well, the pangs of hunger
will dull the sensbilities. And these
preachers bought beer of their nude
dancers. Was not enough immoral con-
duct seen in the dance? Was it neces-
sary to buy beer, too, and pay 81 bottle
for it? To what base uses may we not
come, Horatio?
AS these preachers stand In their pull
pits today, pleading with their hearers
to walk in the way of Righteousness, it
is to be hoped that the youth, more es-
pecially, of their congregations will not
let their thoughts ride upon the wings
of ina agination until in their minds
eye they see the pulpit transformed into
the luxuriously appointed parlor of the
house OF vice and the pastor reclining
in a seat of down, while nude girls dance
about him to the music of the clink Of
beer glasses. Had these ministers been
commissioned by the state or mu-
nicipality to visit the abandoned
women of Los Angeles to re-
port upon the question of ways and
means to relieve the community of their
presence it would be different, but they
went of their own accord and upon pre-
cisely the same footing that other men

to the law for consorting with vice rs

To be sure, had they gone there in

them to abandon the paths of sin and
become Christians. al ornament to So

when this reckless preacher ventures the
imputation that any Of them colleagues

ceiving therefor 'hush money" he de-
serves the reprobation and contempt of

THE IMPOSSIBLE HANNA

So much has been said about Hannas
hold upon Major Mckinley, and the
probability of his taking the secretary
ship of the treasury. that the New
York World reads the riot act to all
concerned after the following very forci-
BILE fashion: If the epidermis Of Mark
Hanna is so thick as to render
him insensible to the utter i'm
propriety of the suggestion Of his
name in connection with the Sec
retaryship of the treasury, Mr.. McKin-
ley ought to be keenly conscious of it.
Waving the question of ineligibility
the fathers of the constitution with al
most prophetic foresight Of its necessi-
ty for the protection of the people, the
moral ineligibility is beyond doubt. This
man Hanna as chairman Of the Republic
an national committee and boodle-
raiser-in-chief for his party, should be
thought of only as impossible in connec-
ton with the treasury. He represents
in his own person. more completely than
any other man now prominent in poll
tics, the idea of triumphant plutocracy.
His only conception of conducting a
political campaign is to raise the most
money. He believes as thoroughly in the
efficacy Of the biggest barrel as Napo-
leon did in the virtue of the biggest guns.
And worse than this, his only conception
of government, after power has been Sc
cured, is partition Of benefits among
as spoils among the politicians and leg
islate for the benefit of the campaign
contributors.
This is about Mark Hanna's idea of
politics and government. If 1t is to pre-
vail, God save the commonwealth
To put such man at the hea> of the
treasury department would be a public
shame and scandal. Could he recon-
mend revenue laws without reference to
the claims for tariff bounties Of the rich
manufacturers to whom he has placed
nlHlSelI ana MS CdnQlQdte unOor ODISd-
tions? Could he conduct bond issue in
dependent of the influence of ]. Pier
pont Morgan and the other Wall street
magnates to whom, with obtuse indis-
cretion. he hastened for advice and con-
tributions on his first official visit TO
New York?
If Mr.. Hanna were the most high
minded and unselfish Of patriots, his ap-
pointment as secretary of the treasury,
in view of his part in the campaign and
Of his business connections and career,
would be monumental Wrong. Being
what he is. his appointment would be so
flagrant an insult to the intelligence and
virtue of the country as to justify even
Mr. Bryans fervent denunciation of the
purposes and dangers of our Plutocracy.
If this appointment is not in the ma
ture of things impossible, it is the duty
of public sentiment to make it So"

THEIR GOLDEN BEDDING.

MT. and Mrs. Jesse o. Eaton Celebrate
 Their Fiftieth Anniversary-A Large
 Number of Friends Present at the old
 Governor Eaton Homestead-Many
 Beautiful and Costly Gifts.
 MT. and Mrs. Jesse o. Eaton cele- brated the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage yesterday afternoon and eve ming at the beautiful old Eaton home stead of Meadow Brook farm at Monto- wese. The occasion, which was one of rare occurrence and interest, was at- tended by nearly 200 people, for the most part relatives of the Eaton fam fly.
 It was peculiarly fitting to have a golden wedding in this season of golden rod and golden politics, but probably Mary Ann Bradley of Cheshire and Jesse O. Eaton when they were mar ried on October 8, 1S46, did not have those ideas in mind. Dr. Croswell of Trinity Episcopal church, New Haven, performed the ceremony and there were five present at the golden we'd ding yesterday who were also present at the original wedding in 1S46. They were R. A. Smith and his wife, Mrs. Julia Marks, Henry L. Clark and John B. Crockett. MT. Eaton has lived all his life on the old homestead The main part of the house is said to be nearly 200 years old and built upon a portion of the tract of land owned by Governor Theophilus Eaton, who was the first governor of the old New Ha- ven colony in 1S41. Governor Eaton owned a tract of 1000 acres on the banks of the Quinnipiac river and the present homestead of 225 acres has been in the possession of some member of the Eaton family ever since. At pres ent it is occupied by MT. Eaton and his two sons, Theophilus and Represen- tative Robert o. Eaton.
