BUILDING THE HARBOR

An evening contemporary that is fa-
vorable to the Southern Pacific harbor
denies with some aspcrity that the
work of building the harbor at Santa
Monica would be done by poems i'm
ported by the Southern Pacific from
Mexico. 1t says 1.-The workingmen of
this town know that American labor
will be employed by the government
to improve the harbors and build the
breakwaters." The workingmen of
this town know nothing of the kind.
The government does not do the en-
ploying of the labor needed in the build
ing of harbors. The government fur
nishes the money for enterprises of the
sort but the work of construction is
always let out by contract, and the in
dividualS or corporations who under
take the contract employ whom they
please. In the event of an appropria-
tion for the building of harbor at San
ta Monica it is absolutely certain that
the Huntington outfit would secure the
contract. 1t would be taken by the
Pacific Improvement Company or some
other corporation that is but really
part of the Southern Pacific system.
Possibly an entirely new concern would
be organized to tackle the job, some
thing with a high sounding name and
new lot of men in the directory, so
that it would appear not to know Hunt
ington ct al, though it should meet
them in the broad light of day on the
same side of the street. But it would
be a Southern Pacific contracting con-
cern just the same
No other than Southern Pacific con-
struction firm or corporation could, with
the situation as it is at Santa Monica,
undertake the task of building the
breakwater at that point in the face of
the opposition of the Kentucky crea-
ton. The talk about the Santa Fe rail-
road competing with the Southern Pa
cific in the transportation of material
for the building of the breakwater is
silly and on par with the hysterical
chatter with which the evening con-
temporary referred to has regaled the
public during the recent discussion
of the harbor question. AS everybody
familiar with the subject knows, the
Santa Fe railroad does not come any,
where near the site of the proposed
harbor and for the reasons that the
Herald has repeatedly and recently
given it cannot reach that site. The
Santa Fe can compete for the business
of transporting material for harbor
work at San Pedro. for though it does
mot tap that point, it can reach it
via the Terminal line. Thus at San Pc
dro the government would enjoy the ad-
vantage of competition in the letting of
the contract for making deep-sea har-
Dor, while at Santa Monica it would run
up against a monopoly-a Huntington
monopoly-and the people of the Pa
cific coast know what that means.

tion of a candidate and a platform an
tagonistic to their views. The obstruc-
ton offered by the silver senators to
the passage of the house tariff bill.
without free coinage amendment is
significant of the possession of belief
on the part of their constituents that
the parting of the ways has been
reached. 1t is a case of free silver or
bolt. Thus it will be seen that despite
it's boisterous confidence the Republi-
can party is in precarious situation.
If it pleases the east it will lose its
grip on the silver west, and If it concili-
ates the latter it is goner in the east.
In order to win the party must have
both groups of states. 1t has yet to
achieve national victory without both.
Therefore it is clear that the hope Of
the Republican party lies in the
mistakes of the Democracy. If
If the Democratic party will in
convention assembled in Chicago, do
as Secretary Carlisle has so emphati-
cally recommended, adopt platform
that is clean-cut and decisive in its dec
larations against protectionism, whe-
ther expressed in tariff taxation or free
nominate candidate whose views are
in harmony with those declarations, a
eDmocratic successor to President
Cleveland is assured.
In this connection the opinions Of Mr..
f. c. Wall of Wisconsin, a member of
the national Democratic committee and
most observant politician, will be in
teresting. When asked by a New York
Post correspondent what chaance he
thought the Democratic party had In
the next campaign he said:
"All depends on the handling of the
money question. If the Republicans
plank, and the Democrats have the
good sense to grasp the opportunity
and adopt one at Chicago, We shall
win. Conversations which l had with
prominent men in New York the other
day convince me that sound money is
to be the watchword. Ex-Mayor Grace
told me that if the Chicago convention
should declare for sound money the
state of New York would be certain
to go Democratic
How does the national Democratic
committee stand on the money ques-
tion?''
There has not been a poll of the
committee so far as I know, but it is my
opinion that the sound money men
have comfortable ma jority. If the two
votes in the last meeting of the Demo-
cratic national committee-one fixing
the date for the convention and the
other deciding on the city-meant any
thing, they meant that the sound money
men are on top, for the silver men, with
few exceptions, preferred an early date

REPUBLICAN WEAKNESSES

1t is growing palmer every day that
the Republican party will be in greater
peril at the coming election than at any
other period in it's history. Between the
soreness that is being engendered by
the intense rivalry for the Republican
presidential nomination and the ire
concilable divisions in the party on the
money question, it is apparent that the
day after the nomina tions are made at
st. Louis, the party of profession pre-
tension and protection will not present
that united front and harmonious con-
dition that is essential to success.
The contest among Republican lead
ors for the partys nomination at ST
Louis has developed surprising
amount of bad feeling and is
conducted with almost as much
.acrimony as might be dis
played in a campaign between rival
political parties. Charges of corrup-
tion, chicane and bad faith make murky
the atmosphere of the Republican realm
and the friends of each candidate are
Carrying knives sharpened to the razor
point for the purpose of Sitting up the
back every other candidate. 1t is a
larious moments of Donnybrook fair.
it is not likely that the hostility of the
factions will disappear with the ad-
1ournment of the convention.
The diversity of opinion in the Re-
Dublican party over the matter of the
free coinage of silver at the ratio of six
Aeen to one is of itself sufficient to make
the chances of that party hazardous.
Only through the blunders or coward
ice of the Democracy regarding the
same question can the Republicans hope
to escape the effects of the division in
.their own party. If the st. Louis con-
vention adopts a platform and nom
mates a candidate for the presidency
that will suit the silver men it will posi-
lively estrange the New England and
middle states without which it certain
~ cannot hope to win. Rightly or
wrongly, the states referred to consider
the issue of sound money the one
Of fundamental Importance, and the
party or candidate that is weakened
or doubtful on that issue they will most
certainly turn down in favor of the or
wanization that shows by it's candidate
and declarations that it is against the
debasement of the monetary standard.
But If on the other hand the st.
Louis convention acts in a manner re-
oponsive to the sentiment of the New
England and middle states,it is bound to
n1ortally offend the silver strongholds
Of the west, wherein large part of the
party's strength in presidential con-
test has been found. There is no mis-

"a Drop of Ink May Cause Millions
to Think"
Editor Herald: Last Wednesday tile
writer visited the fair being held at
Turn Verein hall by the Sisters of
Mercy for the purpose of obtaining
funds to be used in building a home FOR
the worthy aged and infirm, who.
through sickness or other misfortune
have been unable to secure one of their
own And about the first thing that
attracted his attention on entering was
a beautiful little white cushion with the
above motto worked in it with pink
thread. The motto attracted his at
tention and at once started the follow
ing train of thoughts in the writer's
mind, and pehaps also in the minds of
many others, viz:
What an example and illustration Of
unselfish goodness these sisters furnish.
Here are these Sisters of Mercy, who,
at an early period of their lives have
eschewed all TIE giddy pleasures of this
life, of which the young are so fond, and
have devoted their lives to the service
of God helping those who are in need
by providing for the helpless and needy.
But perhaps this is not altogether un-
selfish, for with their angelic natures
they undoubtedly enjoy greater pleas
ure from these acts of mercy than they
could obtain from all the frivolous or
money-making pursuits of this world
for they are building for themselves
happy home in the celestial world.
Passing on we came to flower BOOTH
in charge of Mrs. Philipson and her
able assistants. In it we saw paint
ing illustrative of the immaculate con-
ception, and wax figure representing
the Maid of Erin, both very beautiful
works of art.

SPEED OF THE OCEAN FLYERS.
Remarkable Record Achieved by the
st. Paul on Her Recent Trip.

From the Boston Transcript.
The three transatlantic liners now in the
first class for speed are the Lucania Cam
pania and St. Paul. The latter's average in
the remarkable run she finished recently
was 20S2 knots an hour. This average places
the st. Paul ahead of the Teutonic and Ma
jestic and is excelled only by the speed of the
Lucania and Campania. Heretofore the
Southampton record has been held by the
New York-which though under the Ameri-
can flag, is Clyde built-six days, seven hours
and fourteen minutes. Now, by the st.
Paul's remarkable performance of the voy-
age in six days. five hours and thirty two
minutes, the record passes to a steamer
built on the Delaware. Naturally, the
test will be resumed between the three yes-
sells with the highest records. The result
cannot be forecast, but it should be
menlbered that the Lucania and Campania
have each 10000 horse power, or 10, 600 more
than the st. Paul, and burns $40 tons of coal
day, against the latter's consumption OF
301 in the same time. That Americans can
build as fast ships as foreigners can con-
struct no longer stands in need of demon
stratfon, If it ever did. The Lucania, we
have no doubt, be duplicated in
American yard If sufficient money is forth
coming. The money is the rub, but the diff
ference in frs. cost between steamers built
in England and those built here is dimin-
fishing year by year.
