THE HERALD'S ADVANCE.

The Los Angeles Herald is getting to
bet u great newspaper. Its circulation
is continually on the increase, and It's
qualities as a daily newspaper are not
exceeded in all Southern California. The
sworn average daily circulation of this
enterprising paper now exceeds 1200O
copies.-Riverside Enterprise.
The Herald of Los Angeles has started
after the Times in the matter of Its cir
culation. The Times has been blowing
considerably for the past year or two
about circulation, and now that The
Herald has started after it, Col. Otis
may have to put up or shut up" The
Herald certainly Is becoming newsy
and popular paper andits circulation is
doubtless increasing and may make the

the way.-Norwalk Call.

BRYAN'S HARD HITS

Mr. Bryan has a happy faculty Of land
ing telling blows on the heads of prorni-
nent supporters of Hanna Mckinley
His statements Of undeniable facts often
hit those men in their weakest spots. He
chastises not only Republican support
ers of the gold standard, but also the al
legged Democrats who are indirectly aid
ing that ticket by using the names OF
two willing fossils as candidates on an
alleged Democratic ticket. nominated
by a so-called Democratic convention
at Indianapolis.
The popular silver candidate, in all
his speeches, has never made better
point than when he explained the diff
ference between Republicans VINO sup
port the Democratic ticket and Demo-
Gratis who Join the ranks Of the gold
standard advocates. Concerning the for
mer he said:
1.-THE Republicans who come to US
have simply to stand by that which the
Republican party used to advocate and
which in this campaign 1t has aban-
doned."
This is absolutely true. The speeches
and writings Of such men as Benjamin
Harrison, John Sherman, Benjamin But
terworth, James G. Blaine and many
others who are or were leading lights in
what Mr.. Depew, the noted humorlst
still calls 1.-The grand old party" prove
that those men have heretofore strongly
denounced just such discrimination
against silver as the party now advo-
Gates.
Referring to Democrats who have
deserted the principles Of the party and
are either openly or covertly seeking to
compass the election Of Hanna'S mort
gagged candidate, Mr.. Bryan said:
"They must repudiate the history OF
the Democratic party, and abandon
that which has been Democratic from
the time when Jefferson organized the
party"
This statement also is strictly true. as
Mr.. Bryan has amply proved. and as
everybody can easily learn, by reading
the public utterances and printed COM
munications Of Democratic statesmen.
from Thomas Jefferson down to John
G. Carlisle. The fact is, no man hereto
fore known as Democrat and still pro-
Tossing Democracy, can support Han
mas platform and candidate without
completely stultifying himself. Such
jump from right to wrong is one of the
most glaring feats Of political incon-
sistency imaginable. OF course every
Democrat determined to turn such an
absurd sommersault has a moral right
to do so. 1t is more than probable, how
ever, that, let the election go as 1t may,
in nearly every instance such political
acrobat will regret his course and come
back to his first love, humbly asking re-
admission into the Democratic fold.
No matter how many weakened
members of the party may slough off,
temporarily. under the illusions of Nc
Kinleyism, true Democrats will always
remain such. through victory or defeat.
and the glorious principles laid down
by Jefferson and his compeers will live
on forever.

HARMONY IN THE NEWS COLUMNS

It was a happy coincidence which
placed in the morning news columns i'm
mediately after the report of Major Nc
Kinley's speech to the workingmen from
diana an account of meeting of the nail
trust. The joss of the temple of monop-
oily drew beautiful picture of prosper
ity under the influence Of the system
which he represents in politics. But
there was the report of the f1ourishing
condition Of the nail trust, showing
where most of the bountymade pros
perity goes. Mckinley gave the theory
of protection to the workingmen and the
nail trust meeting exemplified its prac-
tical results. But out of McKinleyism
comes not only the swarm of plundering
trusts in industry and business, but the
Doodle syndicate Of trusts in politics.

CONFIDENCE CONFIRMED

Our goldbug evening contemporary
has discovered a gigantic mares nest in
the fact that The Herald recognizes con-
fidence as an essential condition of busi-
ness prosperity, and gravely argues that
the future Of Southern California is en-
tirely dependent on its giving major
ity Of it's votes to Mr.. Mckinley. Such a
feeling Of helpless dependence is. per-
haps, to be expected from those who
have become permeated with the doc
trine that the United States cannot reg
ulate its own financial policy, but must
bow the knee to foreign capitalists.
Leaving out of consideration the un-
patriotic aspect of such a proposition we
can boldly challenge our contemporaries
contention that Democratic success
would be inimical to the best interests Of
this state. or the southern portion of It,
No newspaper has more steadily or
earnestly advocated every measure cal
culated to advance the material in
terests Of this section than has The Her
aid, and its sense of party fealty will
never be strong enough to lead it to
abandon that policy. But its present
course is entirely consistent with its
stands now as always for the control by
the people of the peoples affairs. 1t is
absurd to suppose that the people will
deliberately set to work to wreck their
own business. The American people
have shown their good sense on too
many occasions to leave any room for
the remotest supposition Of such a pos
sibility.
We fully concede that in the early part
Of the campaign the Mckinley orators
and press succeeded in creating a feel
Ing OF alarm among many business men.
There was concerted effort on the part
Of the Republican leaders to stir UP a
feeling Of apprehension. Every day the
most unfounded prophecies and threats
were given the widest circulation. It is
small wonder that many were frightened
and that the effect was noticeable in
contracting business. Fortunately these
efforts were made early enough to afford
an opportunity for ample reflection, and
the results of the sober second thought
of the people is already apparent. Busi-
ness has, within the past few weeks,
shown the most remarkable revival ever
witnessed in the midst of hotly con-
tested presidential campaign. From
every direction come the evidences of
this reaction. From the Gulf to the
Lakes, and from Maine to California,
the reports are Of the most encouraging
and reassuring character. Confidence
has already returned and cannot be dis
sipated by the mouthings of specious
spell binders" or the empty editorials

PREVALENCE OF SUICIDE BY GAS.

It cannot have escaped the notice of
the careless observer of social economy
that the habit of ending life by gas is
on the increase. This crime against self
Is never committed at home, the would

pleasantness on hotel proprietors and
their employees. Would it not be pos
sible at a very slight cost to attach
an appliance which, chemically, or in
some other way, should record the es-

to be no reason why some invention Of
this nature should not be devised for
the protection of life endangered by

The executive committee Of the South
ern California Academy Of Sciences has
passed a very opportune resolution in
reference to the terrible devastation and
danger of forest fires, which have been
allowed to rage SO savagely for weeks.
The resolution points out that the well
fare Of Southern California demands
the preservation Of the mountain water
sheds. The academy, acting on Mr.. Abb
bot Kinney's suggestion. first ventil-
ated in The Herald, advocates system

driven of. The station Is in the hands
of small politicians entirely incompe-
tent in spirit or information to conduct
It. The place might as well be in Kams-
chatha for any use 1t Is to anyone.
The same lobby was in with the noted
Heintz to knock out Cooper and the
board Of horticulture. In this, fortu-
nately, they failed. 1t is reported that
the agricultural college will have its
lobby at Sacramento this year to get
possession Of the property and appro-
priations of the mining bureau and to
get a large appropriation for itself.
The college of agriculture now has the
largest direct appropriation Of any de-
partment of the university. About
double the next largest and five times
that Of such an efficient school as the
school of law. Besides this, it handles
without results Of benefit, the fifteen
thousand dollar agricultural appropria
tion Of the federal government and the
appropriation of the viticulture and for.
estry boards. The results are nil. An
average Of two graduates year is what
they show and these from San Fran
cisco bay towns. The Herald has invited
our farmers to inform us Of any ad-
vantage they have gained from the COL
lege Of agriculture, without receiving
q single favorable answer. The conclus-
ion is inevitable that the sacrifices Of
the people in taxing themselves for this
concern result in no benefit The abii-
ity and energy of this political lobby
and their press bureau Of self praise and
puffs. should not be allowed to deceive
Southern California representatives. We
do not pay taxes to support a political
lobby engaged in vituperation and SIAN
der, even though operating under the
aegis Of the college of agriculture. This
college should attend to agriculture. Its
energies are dissipated in politics. 1t
should educate farmers and teach us
how to improve our crops. Its powers
are wasted in personal controversies. 1t
should be broad and liberal and be an
impartial searcher for truth. 1t is mar
row and vindictive. The college of agri-
culture and its political lobby need a
good shaking up.

ono of the most marked ot the MANY

One Of the most marked Of the many
contrasts between the Democratic and
the Republican city conventions was
demonstrated in the manner with
which the Endorsement Of the presiden-
tial candidates was severally received.
The mention Of Bryan's name yester-
day was the signal for spontaneous en-
thusiasm, and the plank indorsing him
could not be adopted too readily or too
zealously. 1t would be unkind to dwell
on the delay and disputations which
McKinley's name elected in the Repub-
lican city convention, but 1t was dis
tinctly prophetic.

GERMANY'S FLOURISHING COM
MERGE.

Considerable talk has been INDUCED
in lately as to the progress Of the Ger
man people in commerce. and various
reasons have been assigned for their sue
cess. England, especially. has been in
terested in the subject. The annual ton
mage Of Liverpool was once greater than
that Of any other port in Europe, but re-
cent statistics show that 1t is now
eclipsed by Hamburg, and English peo-
pie are beginning to find that IL they
would keep up with their younger rival,
they must abandon their conservative
ways and adopt new and fresh ideas
and methods.-Philadelph Inquirer.

Attorney-General Harmon has been
endeavoring to suppress what he terms
"pernicious activity" on the part Of civil
servants in this campaign. Such has
caused the head of a United States dis
trict attorney for the eastern district of
Virginia to drop in the basket. But the
encouragement has no right to dis
criminate in this pernicious activity.
Why does he not, for instance, turn
his attention to the assistant United
States district attorney for the eastern
district of New York, who is acting as
secretary for the National Democrat
ic" party in Kings county? 1t evidently
makes q difference to Mr.. Harmon
which side the ''pernicious activity"
lies.
