presided over by spirit Of ultra con-
servatism. Good, well kept streets con-
stitute most potent factor in popular
izing a city, and as Los Angeles aspires
to popularity with all the people of the
earth, she cannot afford to be Indifferent
regarding the character and keeping of
her public passageways.
The other plank referred to, the one
pledging the nominees of the conven-
tion, if elected, to the delivery, in full.
of the time and attention for which they
will draw salaries, Is most essentially
and pre-emlnently good govern
ment" plank 1t has been altogether
too common a thing to have men occu-
plying elective or appointive positions
treat the duties of the latter as being
merely incidental, their time being de-
voted principally to either private busi-
ness or the mending and minding of
political fences. AS rule the compen-
sations Of public officials and their
subordinates are higher than the same
men could get for similar work in pri-
vate business institutions, and 1t is GER
tainly not unreasonable to exact from
them their undivided attention during
official working hours. No man can
serve two masters satisfactorily at the
same time, and when public officer or
employe devotes but part of the Off
cial day to the duties of his office, the
conclusion is inevitable that either he
is cheating the public or that his posi-
tion is a superfluity and should be abol-
ished. A government, be it national,
state or municipal, is a business insti-
tuition just as much as railway, bank
ing or manufacturing enterprise, and
business principles should prevail in It.
1t is not according to business prnci-
pies to permit an employe to neglect
or indifferently perform his duties or to
maintain unnecessary offices.

AT THE THEATERS

LOS ANGELES THEATER.-The
Frawley company will begin its second
weeks engagement at the Los Angeles
theater tonight by showing Los Angeles
how cleverly they can interpret light
comedy. The Two Escutcheons was
successfully presented at the Fifth
Avenue theater, New York City, and the
Columbia, San Francisco, and it is by
Augustin Daly's permission that it is
presented here by the Frawley com
pany. The Two Escutcheons is bright
and saucy comedy and brings out the
full strength of the Frawleys. 1t will
be presented for four nights only. The
Wife, another of the New York Lyceum
theater successes, which is conceded t.
be Belasco and De Miles best play, will
be seen on Friday night and the re-
mainder of this week, with a popular
price matinee on Saturday.
THE URBANK.--Tonight owing to
the pronounced success of last week, the
Ideal Opera company will enter into an
extended week of their engagement, and
the patrons of this house will see the
charming faces of last weeks operas
in new characters. opening in that gen.
efdi ldNoIlle, Inc Mdocot. IHe cast
is an exceptionally strong one. Mr..
Kyle undertakes his old and favorite role
of Rocco, to which he will certainly do
justice. Mr.. Huntley Is eminently fit
ted for the role of Peppo, and with Lud-
wig as Matteo and De Lamotta as Prince
Lorenzo the male characters are in good
hands. OF the ladies, Miss Plaisted will
be seen in one of her old favorites, in
which she secured many words of praise
from the San Francisco audiences, that
of Bettina. Miss Plaisted is just such
a lively, jolly, picturesque little being as
I'VE should expect Bettina to be. Miss
Thorne will be seen as Fiametta, Miss
Emma Benson as Prince Frederick, with
Miss Yost and Georgia Bell as the pages.
The fact that many members of this COM
pany are singers from Los Angeles should
add to the attractiveness of the perform
anCe.

The county clerk will no doubt be able
to explain why the two agents appointed
by the board Of supervisors to examine
the Great Register were so suddenly
withdrawn. 1t is reported that in the
Seventh ward alone 1876 false registra-

supplying the plainest evidence that the

WHAT WORRIES THE MAJOR.

Some Democrats in Ohio, noting the
worn and haggard appearance of Major
Mckinley, are of the opinion that his
conscience is troubling him. They have
always known him as a silver man, and
now when they see him paying for his
nomination by getting up and talking
for the gold standard they think the
"vulture of remorse" is tearing at the
moral part of his insides. Possibly, but
it may be that what worries the major
is the question of how on earth he is to
pay off the $1SO,000 mortgage Mr.. Hanna
has on him in case Bryan shall be elec-
ted-NeW York Journal.

FUSION IN THE CITY CONTEST

Editor Herald: Your suggestion in The
Herald, heraG Of TT, the ID inst; Of fusion with
Democracy of this city, and the appoint-
ment or a conference committee by the
democratic executive committee of the
CITY 10 meet the other side, has naturally
suggested reflection ON the part of DEM
ocrats of the wisdom of such course and,
II the course suggested should be adopted,
the basis on which such fuson should be
effected
AS Democrat. and in view of the bright
mocracy in this city today, I am opposed
to any compromise with the Peoples party
IN city affairs In my. opinion neither as
ber of voters are they entitled to any rec
ognition from the Democracy. l think
we have gone as far with them as we ought
vote as shown by the election of 1892, we
have conceded them electors they were not
entitled to; for fear of imperiling the
cause or free silver, we graSped the tarred
end Of the stick in legislative affairs; we
steadily watched Nansen's efforts to find
~ 1fe mo hertn poe, , IN order to avoid the right
combinations in Texas, Alabama and Ar
kansas but now that we have got down to
Gratis. The last time we made combina-
ton with these people we lost about 2000
Democratic votes and gained nothing. I'm
course we will lose none in November. but
might. not our former experience be re-
peatsd in the PfOpes
us in taking the risk? 1 believe a straight
Democratic. ticket; or a combination with
the free silver Republicans, whom Mr..
Bradner w. Lee read out of the Republican
party in a happy hour, is the proper course
for the Democracy to pursue.
If the collected wisdom of the Democ-
racy, however should decide that fusion
with the Peoples party is expedient on
what basis should it be made? How many
and what offices should be conceded to
them? Their vote cast at the last city
election should be the basis. Their aver
age vote then was between 900 and 1ChD-
not one-eleventh of the total cast and not
one-fourth of the Democratic vote. Yet the
street talk is that they are demanding
four Of the principal offices, including the
important office of city attorney. The lat
ter nomination. it is sad is to be given to
one who IT is well known, cannot be elect-
er. thus insuring the reelection of the in
cumbent. If this be true it is very clever
scheme of Mr.. Dunn's friends. but can
hardly be carried through. Two of the
minor Offices should be the limit OF con-
cession. and the sensible members of the
party will no doubt acquiesce In this view.
IF they refuse to agree to this let them
nom late ticket of their own. Would they
do it?
In the city election let us have sample
of Democratic politics with some back
bone in it. We are getting very tired. OF
the angleworm kind. We are also getting
tired of piece-clubism . -: w. c.

July 13, 1898, David Bennett Hill-who
now "flocks by himeslf''-wrote letter
to the Atlanta Constitution and request
ed its publication by that journal. An
extract from that letter shows what
the New York senator desired to see
made the issues between the parties
in this year of our Lord, 1896:
/ am in favor of bimetallism as the
issue of the future. We should seek to
keep that issue to the front. We should
not strive for temporary success or COM
promise. We should be for free coin
age under an international agreement,
if it be possible to procure one, and
if not possible, then for Independent BIZ
metallism. This is the great goal for
which we must strive. 1t cannot be
done at once. Our friends must not be
impatient. The people must be educat-
cd. The unexpected action of India and
the general sentiment of the moneyed
classes conspire against us at this time.
I do not believe in the Bland bill or
any other measure which guarantees
anything less than the unrestricted
coinage of gold and silver alike, as
pledged in the Democratic national plat
form. Let us prepare, not for the pres
ert victory, but for victory upon that
issue in 1896 The repeal of the Sher-
man law will not give the relief which
is anticipated. 1t will aid business tenn
porarily, but in year times will be
hard. and the demand for permanent
financial relief will be irresistible. We
should continue to hold out free coinage
as the goal which the country must
ultimately reach. The triumph of the
monometallists will be but temporary.
Alas. that same gold octopus whose
tentacles have laid hold upon William
Mckinley. BENJAMIN. Butterworth, and
long shameful procession of public
men who are free silverites by private
conviction, has David B. Hill by the leg.
