FITzsTHMoNs, the prize fighter, Ger.
tainly put the Mexican governor,
Ahumads, in an awkward hole when he
asked that official during the progress
of the bull fight Sunday at Juarez if
fighting with gloves would be nearly az
brutal as the contest he was then
watching with apparent pleasure. 1t
must be admitted that the involuntary
conflict of horse and bull, attended by
the spectacle OF disem boweled horses
dragging their entrails around the
arena, is many times more degrading
and disgusting than ths battle contem.

The senator may not be an ideal states

The talk about him as presidential
possibility is in all likelihood one of
the little advertisements that assist in
making up the game Of practical poll

is kept dangling out Of his window for
the purpose of attracting certain

thereby the chances of some bona fide

COMPETITION FIGHTERS

1t is q common thing for superficial
thinkers to charge nearly all existing so
cial evils, including involuntary pov
erty and trampism to competition. A
certain class of so-called reformers who
aspire to be competition-killers are
continually harping on what they call
"the evils of our competitive system
They seem to have searched the entire
vocabulary of modern language to find
words sufficiently strong for uss in de.
nouncing competition.
Nothing could be more absurd or
ridiculous Those who indulge IN such
wild uttersnces are either incapable Of
reasoning on &c ,nomic questions or
they lack the inclination to use their
reasoning powers 80 as to unders tsnd
plain truths and grasp fundamental
principles. Their folly is all the more
apparent because they oppose both
competition and monopoly, one Of
which is the outgr0wth Of natural law
for the good Of the human race, and
the other man-mAde condition from
which fow untold evils.
Monopoly always means absence or
lack of competition. To Whatever ex-
tent competition prevails in any line
of business, to that extent monopoly
does not exist. The trouble with our
social system is not to be found in
competition, free and untrsmmeled in
all directions, but it grows out of the
fact that competition is not free, but
is one-sided, thereby leaving room for
monopoly to enter the arena of human
activities and get in it's deadly work.
Competition is the only thing that de.
stroys monopoly, and the only reason
it fails to crush out or minimize the
power Of all monopolies is that
it is hampered and obstructed by laws
which enable monopoly to appropriate
natural opportunities and thus shut
out competition from the field. The
idea of trying to abolish monopoly by
doing away with competition is about
as sensible as would be an attempt to
abolish poverty by withholding sll
wealth from the poor. Even q child
knows that poverty means absence OF
wealth; yet many full grown men
appear not to know that monopoly re-
suits from either one sided competi-
ton or none at all.
In most cases the short sighted "re-
formers" who regard competition and
other national conditions as curses
instead of blessings are looking for
ward to socialistic paradise in which
there will be neither competition, nor
ambition, nor striving for higher
attainments, nor development of
human faculties, nor anything else
besides dead level condition. with q
monotonous round of duties mapped
out by the state for each human ma
chine, and in which those capable of
earning much will be compelled to
divide with those who earn less. It
can never be.

The HERALD takes the liberty of sug-
gesting that if the committee appointed
by the police commission to investi-
gate the chsrgee of Siberisnism made
against the police department will re.
port the result of its work today it will
not really be subject to the charge of
being too precipitate. There is abso.
lutely nothing that the cause of justice
can gain by delay while something
might be lost. The evidence against
the department gathered at the COM
mittees hearings sustained most
abundantly the allegations made, and
tue people of this city are desirous of
knowing just where the police commits
sion stands on the propositions in
volved.

A SHAM REDUCTION.

A SHAM REDUCTION.
There is more than one way of max
ing canine lifeless. There are also
numerous ways of defeating with or
without design the will of the people,
as the city council in all likelihood
demonstrated yesterday. when with i'm
petuosity and apparent enthusiasm it
voted to reduce water rates so per cent
instead of 33 1.3 per cent, as recon-
mended by the committee on water
and wstsr supply.
It is almost foregone conclusion
that the reduction determined on by
the council will not go, and it is very
certain that the councilmen who en-
eineered the rise from the committee's
figures know that it will not stand.
They must know that the water COM
pany will go into court to resist the
reduction with an excellent prospect
Of success, and that in the end the peo-
pie will be obliged to pay existing
rates for at least another year.
The reduction of one-third proposed
by the water committee meant a SUBJ
stsntisl gain to the water consumers
and was fair to the water company. It
was the sort of reduction that could
have been successfully defended ir
court, Tor q careful estimate of the
receipts and expenditures of the water
company for the ensuing year shows
that with the rates proposed by the
committee the company would have q
net profit OF at least seven per cent-a
very good rate of interest indeed to
receive from gilt edge enterprise. A
reduction Of the degree proposed by
the committee could, as has bsen said
before, have been successfully de-
Tended in court, for it permitted the
water company to ask what every
court will insist on fran
chise holder being allowed to
ask "a charge sufficient to
guarantee the current rate of profit
on investments of the character in
volved. A rate schedule that trenches
on what the courts deem legitimate and
fair profits is an unsafe proposition to
bring before the judiciary.
II the data on which the water COM
mittee based its conclusions is correct,
and there is no reason to doubt it, a
fifty per cent reduction is virtually no
reduction at all, for it is one that can
be judicially stayed if the company
contests it, and there is every prospect
that the corporation will do that very
thing. Next to no reduction at all the
one decided on is what the company
most desires.
HE HERALD does not wish in this
matter to impute bad faith to all the
members of the council. but it is most
emphsticslly of the belief that some
of the members who are responsible
for this action of the body are, from
motives best known to themselves
trifiing, or worse than trifing with
vital interests of the people, and
it regrets that those members who hon.
estly desire to do their duty to their
constituents lacked the ssgacity aud
the courage to rise up and tear aside
the veil Of pretense with which the
scbemers have shrouded their plot.
The HERALD suggests that the city
council Of Los Angeles reconsider ths
action of yesterday and adopt the rstel
proposed by the water committee

FROM the multitude of proclsmstions
issued by General Weyler it is plainly
apparent that he intends to govern
Cuba strictly with "thou shafts" and
"thou shalt nots" With the maze of
rules and regulations he has estab-
lished it is going to be pretty difficult
for anybody short of soldier la w er
to stay out of troubls in the "gem of
the Antilles" He should now provide
schools devoted to popular instruction
in the arts and intricacies of his com
mandments. Some enterprising Amer
ican publishing house might make a
stake by getting out a cheap edition of
the generals dictstions entitled, How I
Suppress Rebellions With Proclama-
tions. 1t should be illustrated with
pictures showing the commandments
in the act OF suppression, and should
also contain diagrams intended to fa-
cilitate the erstanding of the ordi-
nary people of Cuba. The edition
would undoubtedly have large sale.
Weyler himself might patronize it.
