of the board whose terms expire this fall
should be relegated to private life.
Then there is another thing that don't
think the public will approve Of, and that
is the action of the board IN making tho
county board of education a political
machine. 1t may appear to Messrs. Hay
and Woodward to be the proper thing to
pay their political debts in that man
ner, but am sure that nine out of every
ten taxpayers will deprecate the bring
ing of politics into school matters. Then
there Is that new system of maps for
the assessors Office That little joker
has already cost very close to SIS, 900 and
the end Is not yet by long ways. 1t Is
matter Of common notoriety that the
present administration of the county
surveyors Office Is the most expensive
in the history of the county, and for this
l think the supervisors are largely re-
sponsible. The same thing is true of the
assessors office. These officials seem to
think that they have a sure thing for
four years, and they are carrying things
with high hand. The supervisors cer-
tainly could act and check, but there does
not seem to be any disposition on their
part to do so. l suppose. of course, they
to certain extent control the patronage,
and for this reason the lines are loosely
drawn.
Then 1 object to the questionable
taste, to call it by no harsher name, dis
played by the supervisors in getting
| their own relatives into fat offices. There
| is no law against the practice, but ne
| potism has been the cause of more than
| one public officers retirement to the
shades of oblivion. and, if 1 mistake not,
| it will cause others.
II think 1 have said enough for one
day. but I will look into matters more
| closely from time to time, and may be
able to give you something definite in a
| few daYS.

M'KINLEY'S DOLLARS

Notwithstanding that the ice Of the
financial question has been broken by
the Republican conventions positive
declaration, Major Mckinley continues
to be ably ambiguous regarding his
monetary views. He still talks about
an "untarnished dollar" and dollar
worth 100 cents,' but obstinately fails
to point out which dollar that is, or to
explain how he would keep his dollar
untarnished and worth 100 cents. The
majors latest dollar development is n
full dollar" This description of dol
lar leads the New York Evening Post
to remark:
Major McKinley's discovery of a new
kind of dollar, the full dollar. makes
it opportune to attempt a compilation
of the various kinds of dollars which we
have had placed before the people for
their approval during the years in which
we have been considering the great ques-
tion of doing something for silver" AT
the very outset of the agitation we had
the Dollar Of the fathers, and in addi-
ton to this our more recent discussions
have developed the following:
An Honest Dollar.
A Dollar of the Constitution.
A Sound Dollar.
A Dollar Of the People.
The American Dollar.
The Dollar Of Jefferson and Jackson.
The Dollar worth no more and no less
than 100 cents.
The Soundest and Best Dollar known
to man.
The Dollar as Sound as the Govern
ment, and as untarnished as it's honor.
The Full Dollar.
The final two of the series are the dol
lars of Major Mckinley. To him be-
longs the honor of inventing both of
them. We are sorry to see that the
Tribune pays no attention to the ap-
pearance Of the full dollar in the field,
for it is certain to play great part in
the campaign. The soul-stirring ques-
ton, What is full dollar?" has begun
already to reverbrate through the land,
and it will have to be answered by some
body close to Mckinley before long. 1t
implies the existence somewhere of some
dollar that is not full" and if there be
such a dollar as this afioat it should be
called in at once.

POINTS FOR SUPERVISORS
There Is Plenty Of Room to Save the
Public Funds
i.oose Business Methods That Are Costing
the Taxpayers . Great Deal Of Money.
Some Instances

"why don't you newspaper people
touch up the supervisors and other coun-
ty officers occasionally and keep them
in the middle OF the road?" was the re-
ply of a well-known citizen yesterday
in answer to the query OF q Herald re-
porter as to whether he knew of anything
that could be twisted into a story.
The reporter replied that he had not
heard of any special action on the part
of these officers that was without the
pale of the law, when the citizen contin-
ued:
Nobody said anything about viola
tions Of the law. I don't know any
thing about any violations or the law
particularly, at least since tne iast
grand Jury adjourned, but do know that
abuses are constantly creeping in, and
If the yare not shown up by the news
papers they become unwritten law py
custom and are as hard to eradlcaV
from the system of government as Hus-
sian thistles are from a field. The peo-
pie look to the newspapers to keep them
posted. and it is only in that way can the
public interests be protected by awak-
enino and keeping alive a healthy pub
lie sentiment. AS you a7e aware, the
county government of Los Angeles is
one of the most expensive In the United
States and this Is so for the reason that
numerous abuses have crept in from time
To time small in themselves, but which

nayer is ridiculed for making fuss over
tribes. Now the campaign Is approach

men in control Is of interest. Every
man. almost, now holding office is a can
didete for reelection, and the people
should be informed, as far as possible,
whether it would be good policy to re-
tain them or relegate them to pr1yate life.
Now, as to the supervisors. l don t
know of any actual violations OF law,
perhaps. but do know that they are not
as careful In looking after the public
funds as they would be in conducting
their own private business. You may
not be aware of the fact, as 1t is matter
of which the supervisors are not very
proud. but in figuring out the last tax
lew there was quite little pile of money
wasted. The rate was agreed upon, a1d
seventy or eighty men put in several
DAYS figuring it out on that basis, when
for some reason a change was made and
all this work amounted to nothing. Why
was this change made? That l don't
know. for certain, as there are several
stories about 1t. 1 do know that the
change was made, after an all-day secret
conference of the members of the board,
and their legal adviser. There was some
talk at one time of attacking the validity
of the assessment, but this was not done,
on account of the complications that
would have arisen. The whole matter
is being investigated, and II the facts are
as alleged. think that those members

A very pretty and quiet wedding took
place on East First street last Wednes-
day at high noon, the contracting par
ties being Francis H. Tecklenborg and
Margaret E. Reinert. The bride was
attired in brocaded satin and pearl
trimmings and carried bunch of white
carnations. The bridal party stood un-
der a canopy of magnolas. After the
ceremony an elaborate wedding break
fast was served in the dining room, 1t
being converted into a bower of foliage
and roses. The bride and groom left
on the 2 o'clock train for San Francisco.
From there they will take in all the
large eastern cities, leaving New York
on the steamer Trave for Europe, re-
turning about the first of November to
their future home in Alhambra. The

the week, while the carrying on OF the
exempted lines IL necessary S65 days ir
the year. ThiA u one of the replies that
do not explain, because It lacks the ele-
ments Of oenolusiveness essential in q
satisfactory explanation. Who are the
persons that have been endowed by
Providence with the power and the right
to determine just when a business is
necessary, and when 1t is unnecessary
When did the endowment occur. and
where are the evidences of it? What
basis has the proposition that a man
belongs to himself six days in the week
but Is subject to the dictation of a cer-
tain number Of other people, who may
or may not happen to be in the majority
in his community, on the remaining
day? If 1t Is q fact that a mans labor
is his own, by what principle of right
can his fellow men regulate the sale of
that labor by specifying the days on
which he shall not sell it? Who is bet
ter Judge of the time and place to sell
his labor than the man who has it to
sell, and, what is of more conse-
quence, who has as good a right
to judge? The right of the people to
labor is a natural right! Are govern
ments intended to protect men in the ex-
ercise of natural rights or to restrict
them in or prevent such exercise? If a
man chooses to sell his labor-it matters
not In what capacity-one day in the
week 1t is his business; if he chooses to
sell 1t seven days in the same period it
is equally his business, and the govern
ment, be 1t municipal or state, which in
terferes with him commits an act out
rageous in principle and dangerous in
precedent. No other view than this can
be logically held and safely advocated
by those who believe in the theory of
the democratic state. Only the adher-
ents of the paternalism of monarchism
and socialism, can consistently believe to
the contrary.
1t is undoubtedly better for people
to labor one day less than seven In their
usual vocation; it would even be better
for them to labor two or three days less
and with the present facilities for sat
isfying human wants nobody should find
it necessary to toll even six days out of
seven in order to assure comfort and
plenty. That they do find it necessary
to toll not only six but in many instances
seven days is because of an abnormal
social condition which results in an in
equitable distribution of the products of
labor. The remedy for this sort of thing
is not to be found in Sunday laws.
The herald., 1896-07-06
SUNDAY CLOSING ORDINANCE

The committee on public morals-to
read of such a committee, by the way,
suggests a New England community OIL
the seventeenth century rather tnan
live, progressive western city OF the year
1S6-has decided to, and will today, rec
ommend to, the city council stringent
Sunday closing ordinance. Such action
might be expected of that committee. 1t
is built that way.
That any considerable percentage OF
people should at this day and in this Sec
tion of the republic favor the enactment
of laws regulating matters which per
tain exclusively to the individual speci-
fying the days that people shall and
shall not labor, hedging about and in
fringing upon the very liberty that
democratic form of government is
really intended to protect, is as surpris-
ing as it is atrocious. and illustrates to
lamentable degree the survival Of the
spirit of tyranny.
1t is probable that every advocate OF
the Sunday closing law is either burst
ing with supposed Americanism or, II
laying no claims to the latter processes
an adherence of despotism; yet that
is no more un-American, un-demo-
cratic, and despotic principle than that
which the proposed Sunday closing ordi-
nance stands for. The operations of
such an ordinance would constitute as
distinctive and as aggravating an inter-
ference with the liberty of the individ-
ual as can be conceived of. Such legis-
lation is founded on no theory of right;
it has no roots in political science, but
is only the arbitrary idea of persons de-
void of the proper conception of the
functions of government or burdened
with the egotistical belief that Provi-
dence has commissioned them to mind
and regulate the affairs of other people
according to their own peculiar notions.
Then there are some individuals who
have not even the excuse of ignorance
or delusion but who from selfish motives
favor Sunday closing enactments.
though understanding them they are
regardless of the rights of others, they
would steal liberties with as little COM
junction as thief steals property.
The committee on public morals have
recommended the passage of an ordi-
nance which will permit hotels restau
rants, livery stables, drug stores and
presumably street railways and places
OIL dIluSeIlleuL " CdiIy VII cii
Sunday. Newspapers will also, perhaps,
be permitted to operate on that day. II
this ordinance is being proposed, not as
a religious measure, but for the purpose
of guaranteeing to the people employed
in the prescribed lines of business a day
of rest, only that and nothing more, the
presumption is fair that it's promoters do
not consider that the persons engaged
in the exempted lines need or are en-
titled to such period of relief from the
duties of their respective vocations.
Else why draw the line? OF course, the
response to this suggestion of discrim-
ination on the part of the people who
desire to employ the power of govern
ment to compel compliance with their
opinions in a matter with which govern
rnent has properly nothing to do, is that
the prosecution of the prescribed lines of
business is not necessary every day in

AT THE THEATERS

LOS ANGELES THEATER. - Miss
Jerry is the attraction tonight at the
Los Angeles theater. Probably no form
of dramatic entertainment ever de-
vised has in a short space OF time achiev-
ed such prominence and popularity as
has been given to Alexander Black S
unique and ingenious picture play, Miss
Jerry. To begin with, the story is orig
jnal, sparkling and interesting. The
scenes are laid in New York city and
include representations of Broadway.
City Hall park, Cherry Hill, Madison
Square, old Fifth avenue and Central
park. Among the features may be men
toned Miss Jerry's interview with Mr..
Chauncey M. Depew, in her capacity as
a reporter on the Daily Dynamo, at the
famous after dinner orators private Of
fees in the Grand Central depot. Her
visit to Sergeant Dunn, the weather
prophet on the roof of the Equitable
building, her talk with Superintendent
Martin, chief engineer of the great
Brooklyn bridge, and her introduction
to the famous elephant, Juno, in the
menagerie at Central park. There will
be but two performances, tonight and
tomorrow evening.
THE ORPHEUM. - That miracle of
human ingenuity, the vitascope, will be
exhibited in Los Angeles for the first
time this evening. Edison's brilliant
triumph promises to draw an audience
which will pack the Orpheum to the
doors. The living, moving, life size, real
istically colored pictures which will be
thrown upon a white drop curtain are
said to be of great beauty, aside from
the wonder that bits of real life can be
reproduced in such perfection
Hugh j. Emmett, an old favorite in
this city, will present an attractive me-
lange of novel ideas, clever musical mi-
tations, sparkling repartee and brilliant
feats of ventriloquism.
Papinta will appear in new dance.
introducing charming novelties, and the
Washburn sisters, song and dance ar
lists: Meers brothers. the agile wire
performers; Lawrence and Harrington
the "Bowery Boy" and the Tough Girl, "
and Bimbo and Tehi. mystifying phu-
numbrists and necromancers, will help
to round out a program of rare attract
iveness
1t is not often three such attractions as
the vitascope, Papinta and the Meers
brothers, all of the best and most ex-
pensive kind, are offered at one and the
same time, even in the New York music
halls, and the advance sale indicates that
| the public appreciates this fact and is
going to profit thereby
