DISCUSSING The DlNGLEY REVENUE BILL
Senator Hale Hopes the Measure May
Soon Become eLaw-Believes Presl-
dent Would Sign It-Sen. Can
non Does Not Approve It.

Washington, Dec. s.-The president
has issued proclamation suspending,
after January next, the operations of the
act which relieve German vessels, enter
ing United States ports, from the pay
ment of tonnage dues and other shipping
cnarcaa This action was taken upon
proof that American vessels are den.od
corresponding privileges in German
ports. The shipping charges under our
laws are based on a sliding scale. The
presidents action doubtless will arouse
widespread interest in shipping circles.
The presidents proclamation will go
into effect on the morning of January 3,
after which the vessels of Germany enter
ing our ports must pay shipping charges
ranging on the sliding scale from to 30
cents per ton per annum.
HALE ON DINGLEY BILL.
Washington, Dec. 3.-Senator Hale e1-
presses the opinion that the senate will
take up, and, he hopes, pass the Dingley
bill at the coming session beginning
next Monday.
"We ought to have it," he said, "for the
treasury repOEUb buOW tuo SIooo Aoou Va
more revenues. While l would not at
tempt to speak for all of them, am sat
isfied that some of the silver Republicans
will give their assistance to pass the bill.
and can not believe that the Democrats
will put any unusual distractions in the
way of the success of the measure. Fur
thermore am quite persuaded that Mr..
Cleveland would not veto the bill if it
should be presented to him."
SENATOR CANNON.
Washington. - Senator Cannon, OF
Utah, who was one of the silver Repub-
licans who Joined the Democrats last
session in defeating the consideration of
the Dingley tariff bill, and who subse-
quently bolted the st. Louis convention,
says that the reasons which induced
him to vote against that measure at the
last session are accentuated now by the
discovery that some of the interests
which last session favored its immediate
enactment are now opposed to it. This,
he says, is especially true of the wool IN
dustry, on the ground that the present
enactment of the Dingley bill would de-
lay the enactment of satisfactory tariff
measure containing adequate protection
for the wool growers, and in the end
might defeat complete tariff revision
on protective lines. He is not inclined
tolbelieve that serious effort will be
made to pass the Dingley bill at this
session.

He will probably leave tomorrow for the

of the most skillful horse tanners in our
southwestern country, and his reputation
as such is known far and wide. AS
sample of what he ,an do, he says he can
take wild horse out of manada, and in
fifteen minutes, or half ali hour, he can
have the animal following hlm around,
and as gentle as lamb. This he did in
our city one day this week, and all that
were on San Antonio street at the time
saw the performance and the horse follow
ing Mr. Sewer. He says that he has
studied the nature of the horse most
thoroughly and finds him to be the most
intelligent of all quadrupeds, and 1t Is

Egyptian debt of $2,50O,0Oo, advanced to

used for war expenses and that the
Egyptian government must pay back

The fruit is and has been for ten

sweetness, fragrance and high color that

REvELRY, NOT RuFF1AN1sM

Tonight the curtain will be rung down
on the carnival of Los Angeles for 1896.
Ht Is to be hoped that it will ed down,
on no scenes that will reflect discredit on
Los Angeles or give strength to the op-
b6nents of La Fiesta. 1t has been an
noHnced that the closing night of the
weeks gayeties will be night of revelry
and the wish Of all sincere friends of
the Fiesta will be that revelry only and
not xuf1anism will be indulged in. Be-
tween trevelry and ruffianism there is
marked distinction that should be
plainly discernible. The persons who
cannot observe it are worthy the earnest
attention of the police.

may seem, anticipated with apprehen-

THE FIESTA ATTENDANCE

More strangers have slept, dined and
Quaffed the cup of pleasure in Los An
geles during the week which closes with
today than the city has ever before en-
tertained in the same time. They have
come by the thousand, singly, in fami-
lies and in parties from the east, from
the north, with liberal representation
from San Francisco, from other parts
of Southern California, and not a few
from beyond the borders of this Repub-
lie. In the throng that has swept down
on the city ofthe fiesta, ali manner of
people, all conditions of life, practi-
cally every strata of society, are rep
resented. 1t is a cosmopolitan crowd,
such as only city with metropolitan at
fractions might be expected to draw.
But in the main it is a crowd that the
people of Los Angeles are glad to see
with them, and from which it is to be
hoped, and can be reasonably believed
many, very many, future Angelenos will
be had.
The attendance of such large num-
Der of strangers is a tribute, not alone
to the present, but also to the past
nestas. 1t affords assurance that the

pie from without our gates have had
faith that the promise to not only
equal but excel the accomplishments of
former years would be kept, and they
have come as never before. Their COM
ing will help to give permanency to
the fiesta as an annual advertisement
for if for no other than selfish reasons,
the people of Los Angeles will support

that draws the stranger in plenty. The
best way to expedite the building I'D of
this section is to induce people from
elsewhere to visit us. Southern Califor-
mia is best advertised when it is seen.
When people come to enjoy the fiesta
they will see Southern California, and
to see it is to wish to live in it, The
fiesta properly maintained will prove it.

NEW YORK, April 24.-Bradstreet'
financial review tomorrow will say:
Bullish sentiments continue to animate
current speculation, the present week
having witnessed increased activity
and broader conditions as we'll as a
further improvement in price, though at
the close of the week there We're signs of
weariness. The movement seems to be
based upon desire to discount the an
ticipated revival of trade, but its char
acter is also due in large degree to the
example afforded by the recent specula-
tive revival in London and the better
standing which American securities are
gaining there. The latter tendency, in
deed. does not show itself in the form of
any special foreign buying of securities.
All that can be said is that the balance
of arbitrage transactions between here
and Europe is in our favor, while there
is some foreign buying Of bonds in small
lots. One of the features of the week
has indeed been the more or less open
assistance given to the bull campaign
by the larger financial and speculative
interests. This broadening of the specu-
lation, with the symptoms of increas-
ing foreign interest, creates a belief
that the upward swing of the market
is likely to continue for some time.
Bradstreets review of trade will say:
The feeling is more hopeful at many
trade centerS, owing to continued i'm
provement of demand in retail lines,
better weather, general favorable crop
prospects and the activity which natu-
rally follows distribution of implements
and farm supplies and attendant activ-
ity. More favorable reports from COM
mercial travellers from those represent
ing Pittsburg, st. Louis, Kansas City,
Omaha and Milwaukee houses. Moder-
ate improvement is shown at a few
other western centers, but at most of
the larger distributing points through
out the country the movement of mer-
chandise on the whole shows no mater
ial change. At almost all cities mercan-
tile collections continue slow, remain
ing relatively the most unfavorable
feature Of the week, even where the ten
dency in other directions is toward i'm
provement. Exports of wheat, flour in
cluded as wheat, from both coasts of the
United States this week are the smallest
since the third week in July, 1895, and
with that exception the smallest in any
week during the past six years, amount
ing to only 1886, 900 bushels, compared
with 2,017,000 bushels last week, 2,431,-

But listen! o listeni to this new Ran
dolphian philosophy. He says: "A mo-
nopoly is not anything different in kind
from any business on any scale large
or small" Hence, competition is mo-
nopoly and monopoly is competition.
On the same principle, the fire from a
match is not anything different in kind
from that in a furnace for smelling iron
ore, and, applying the same logic, when
possessed of a match we have the red
hot assurance that that is a furnace for
smelling iron ore, and the fellow who
has furnace for smelling iron ore is
coOlly advised that it is only a match.
See what a blessing it is to know all
these things. Wisdom like this would
make even the green-eyed monster be-
have himself. but, like all true philoso-
piers, he keeps a bright gem for the
last. Here it is ''That which we get
by reason of competition comes to us
unearned by any affirmative act of ours,
hence we cannot justly claim owner
ship in it," To reply to this I dare not
let my pen have full sway. 1 must be
charitable. I opine that the gentleman,
when writing the above quotation, was
in that condition so sublimely described
by the poet:
HE was partly with love overcome SO sore,
And partly he was drunk"
What the gentleman says against the
single tax is only remarkable by reason
of his most remarkable ignorance of the
subject.

people depends OH the distribution of
power and not upon it's concentration.
