THF OUTCOME OF THE POPU
LISTS CONVENTION

In the nomination of Mr.. Bryan for
president and one Of their own party
for vice president, the Populists at st.
Louis did that which has been expected
of them for several days. The Bryan
current was too strong for the middle
of the roadsters," as it will prove too
strong for the long time enemy of the
Democracy, the Republican party. At
the same time the nomination of Thomas
e. Watson of Georgia makes it mani
fest that a majority of the convention
were permeated with the fear that the
identity of the Populist party would
suffer unless the organization was rep
resented in the electoral conflict by a
candidate for either the presidency or
vice presidency.
In the light of the telegram sent by
Mr.. Bryan TO Senator Jones, it is doubt
full whether the former will accept the
Populistic nomination under the circum-
stances. In that telegram he requested
Senator Jones to withdraw his name
from before the convention if it insist
ed on nominating for vice president
some one other than Mr.. SeWall. This
action is a manly one, emnently charao-
teristic of Mr. Bryan, and it will endear
him all the more to his own party and
Win for him additional respect and admi-
alton from the men OF other parties 1t
reveals in him that essential element

face of strong temptation. for the proffer

for decades used by sheep owning COM

the sheep are occasionally shorn by a
gang sent over. Now that the wool in
dustry is quiet, less opposition would
probably occur to the opening or this
island. The settlement would be of
special character and should be under
special regulations. The place should
include a townsite and homesteads for
settlement of about ten acres each, in
stead of 160 acres. 1t is probable that
inside of few years under some such
plan, San Clemente would contain four
or five thousand people and would con-
tribute largely to the welfare of South
ern California Besides this, 1t would
encourage boating, fishing and shipping
to build up our islands. San Clemente

Mexico and Silver

Can't. Thos. w. Dodd of Laredo, who
for the past eleven years has been the
general attorney and land agent in Tex
as for the Mexican National railroad, is
now in this city on his wedding tour. To
a Herald reporter who interviewed Cap
tain Dodd last evening the latter gentle
man expressed himself freely on the
conditions which obtain at the present
time in the United States.
"The depression which exists in the
United States at the present time" he
said, "can be attributed to no other
cause than this fraud which was perpe-
trated on the people when silver was de-
monetized. The act was performed sole
ly for the benefit of the gold bugs. It's
effect could be no other than to make
the rich more wealthy at the expense OF
the producers of the nation. 1t Is mis-
take to attribute the poverty which ex-
lists throughout the south and west to
overproduction and to state that the

COVARRUBIAS' KINGDOMS

The public has been lately advised of
another kingdom set up against the
authority of the United States on the
coast of California. The news of this
threat against the integrity of the coun-
try is accompanied by the reassuring
information that an armed expedition is
afoat to reduce the rebellion and re-
unite the country. The present expedi-
tion of deputy patriots, shipmasters and
what not is under the brave Covarru-
bias, whose health is just now better
than it was when Captain Seamans took
his place during the railroad strike.
The new kingdom Is off the northern
point of Port Hartford. Like the first
kingdom, recently destroyed by SINH
lar brave and costly expedition. this
last one consists of barren and worth
less rock. THE king and his army are
also in this case one and the same. This
united force Of king. army and rebels,
consists of one fisherman. The danger
Gus use the rock is put to is as a lookout
for whales from a shanty put up by the
fisherman.
The ridiculous waste OF the public
money in fitting out United States
from time to time a desolate rock to
better earn a livelihood is nothing COM
pared to the cruel tyranny of dragging
this poor fisherman away from his FAM
lily to Los Angeles flom the distant coast
of San Luis Obispo to stand a long mad
costly trial over nothing. What is the
charge for mileage? What number Of
patriotic deputies need wages and sum-
mer trip up the coast? What do we pay
for boat, arms and provisions? What is
the cost of this kind OF fiasco? The rush
out to Mojave with an army of deputies
to bring in some tramps by the same
brave marshal when he first took office,
1t is understood, received a severe re-
buke. The present mistake should re-
ceive another and a stronger one. The
policy of the United States, as of the
people of California, is rot to use the
islands off this coast less, but to use
them more. Nearly all the islands bear
traces of ancient villages and Of popu-
lous condition, supported doubtless by

THE CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION
OPEN

The Republican campaign of educa-
ton has commenced to hum. The New
York Mail and Express, one of the thick
and-thin organs of the party, has, as
usual afSYamed "a fstsht The ,gele 9f ahtEh edH=
umn Of instruction on the statement that
American exports fell off last year
about s750Oo,o00 while the imports in
creased nearly s1Oo.OOoOoO." The fact
about the matter of exports and imports
for the year ending June 80 is that the
exports increased so much faster than
the imports that they rose to figure
So, 900 900 greater than the correspond
ing one of the year preceding. And, as
stated in The Herald of yesterday, the
excess of exports of merchandise over
the imports for the year ending June 80,
1896, amounted to $102, 200.
The same medium of light in the next
column declared that Denis Kearney
of San Francisco and Anarchist Most
of New York are trying to outdo each
other in cheering for Bryan" Yet 1t
was matter of notoriety at the time
this statement was published that Herr
Most had declared his opposition to any
party declaring for the free coinage of
silver. and avowed his fealty to the gold
standard. AS to the preference of Denis
Kearney, the New York disseminator
of misinformation may or may not be
correct, but if it is correct, it only shows
that kearney, whether by accident or
design, sometimes gets on the right side.
The most conspicuous feature of the

ton threatens to be it's skillful avoidance
