Stern is rich German Jew who
has amassed his fortune through
more or less shady transactions in
New York. He is, rs the following
story will show, as mean as it is
possible for a Hebrew to bs-and
that means a good deal. He is rich,
however. and has consequently a
claim on Mr.. Olney's firmness. We
reproduce the story from the Argo-

capacity of the Chicago convention

ician as the boy orator OF the Platte

The Call probably strikes very
near the mark when it styles Mr..
William Jennings Bryan as not be-
ing either a Democrat or populist
but gravitating from one to the
other. "He might be called poll
tical Don Quixote, unattended by a
common sense, unimaginative San
cho Panza. He does not mean to
be ungrateful, but he does not think
it ingratitude when favors are be-
slowed upon him to turn and rend
the bestower of them, if to do other
wise would hinder him in satisfying
his ambition. He coquetted with
the Louisiana delegation, yet he
looks upon the payment OF bounty
to the augar-growers of that State
as something rather worse than
highway robbery"

1t will probably be barren honor

NE. oLNEY's FOREIGN POLICY.

We hear great deal about the
firm foreign policy OF the United
States during the Cleveland Olney
administration. clustering and bluff
fng seem, however, to be the main
point in Mr.. Olney's firm policy,
but he certainly only exercises these
methods for tho benefit of the rich
citizens OF the great republic while
the poor American who claims pro-
lection 10 ignored and forgotten.

He laid tho matter before Minis
tor Willis believing that tho firm
foreign policy" of Mr.. Olney would
come to his rescue, and that the
United States would demand re-
dress from the Hawaiian Govern
msnt. Not so. Mr.. Olney had no
time to look after a poor devil OF an
Amsrican ootoroon and although
President Cleveland in his message
to Congress referred to certain
claims for damages by American
citizens in Hawaii nothing was done.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1896-07-18

For all Mr.. Olney cares any poor
American citizen in a foreign coun-
try can be ill-treated and unjustly
incarcsrated. The noted lawyer for
the big trusts has no buster and
bluff for the poor. All his lightning
is reserved for his rich fellow citi-
IONS for whose special benefit he
keeps his "frm" policy on tap. The
Stern incident furnishes an excellent
example Of Mr.. Olney's eItraordin-
airy policy.

LA FIESTA DECORATIONS
A New and Beautiful Feature Added to the
General Display


General Display
The executive committee yesterday
passed upon one of the best decoration
features of the coming Fiesta, whereby
they granted 10 Ed B. Webster of the
Rustic Hustle Advertising company. 244
South Broadway. the exclusive right to
place Japanese lanterns on and along the
streets of the city.
Mr.. Webster will make every effort to
have this portion of the decorations up to
and ahead of anything ever before at
tempted in this city.
The streets to be decorated are Main,
from the plaza, on both sides, to Sixth {;
Sixth street. both sides from Temple to
Sixth; Broadway, from First, both sides to
Sixth, and First, Second, Third, Fourth,
Fifth and Sixth streets, from Main to
Broadway.
The effect will be very striking. The
cost will be SO slight that every. foot of
in the entire district. Lanterns will
be suspended from wires strung nine feet
from the sidewalk and will be placed four
feet apart, SO that each and every store or
residence can be easily represented. Mr..
Webster states that he is also going to
handle and submit plans for decorating
any and all size buildings and will color in
candescent and gas globes in Fiesta shades.
He is now working on a beautiful decora-
ton that will surely meet with public
favor. An immediate canvass will be made
on the streets mentioned, and every foot
of frontage should have this appropriate
ornamention. Mr.. Webster's authority for
this exclusive privilege is letter given him
by the executive committee and has the
endorsement of the decorating committee.
Mr.. Webster is one of the best rustlers that
ever set foot on the sidewalks OF Los An
geles, and he will exert every effort and
energy toward making this feature of the
decorations an unequaled success. Let
every merchant and resident of the entire
district adopt this plan of decoration and
the streets will be doubly attractive.

KNOW A GOOD THING
Readers Hasten to Secure the New Encyclo-

Readers Hasten to Secure the New Encyclo-
paedic Dictionary.
1t was thought at the outset that intelli-
gent readers of this paper would be quick
to take advantage of the remarkable offer
of the Pacific Coast Newspaper Syndicate,
and obtain the new Encyclopaedia Diction-
ary on the special terms made for the 200
Introductory sets, which are distributed to
make known the merits of the work.
But when the price is reduced by over
two-thirds. the superb publication becomes
almost q gift, as readers have readily per-
ceived, to Judge from the orders which are
coming in by each mail.
The terms made by the syndicate for
200 sets, to introduce the work, simply re-
purchase of the four volumes, which make
up the complete set, and the same is de-
livered at once. the balance being payable
at the rate of $1.25 per month for one
year, or at the rate of about 4 cents per
day.
Full descriptive matter and sample
pages will be sent on application, but to
those who do not wish to waste time in cor
respoDdence and run the risk of losing a
set at the low Introductory price it may be
said that the Encyclopaedia Dictionary is
not only the most recent and complete die
tionary of the English language extant.
but it also treats over $4,000 subjects in
the same manner as an encyclopedia. 1t
is in four magnificent quarto volumes, con-
tanning over 5000 pages, with 5000 illus
trations explaining the definitions.
1t has at once become the standard
wherever introduced, and even at its snb-
scription price of $42 per set is sure to find
a valued place in thousands of cultured
homes.
But at the Introductory price of 81 cash
and $1.25 per month for year it is simply
q marvel OF cheapness.
All communications are to be addressed
to the Pacific Coast Newspaper Syndicate,
14O South Spring street. Los Angeles.

In projecting the proposed Adams street
tourist hotel the committee having the
matter in hand has planned wisely, and
along lines of the greatest probability of
success. The fashionable travellers of the
east who spend many thousands of dollars
in Southern California annually, SO far as
their sentiment has been learned, have
heartily endorsed the proposition to erect
thoroughly up-to-date tourist resort in
this city. Already many expressions have
been received by prominent citizens of
this city from wealthy easterners who
make their annual California sojourn in
and about Los Angeles. All of these ex-
press the greatest satisfac ton at the pros
pect of there heing erected at once q tour
list hotel in this city commemorate with
the needs of the wealthy travellers of the
central and eastern states who visit here
each year. 1t is already assured that the
new resort will serve to furnish long-felt
want in that circle of tourists who wish to
come to this coast each year, but who do
not wish to submit to the disagreeable ne
cessity of locating in an obscure town re-
mote from the attractions of theaters,
churches and accessibility to the active
forces of daily social and commercial life.
furnish the social desideratum go requisite
to their entert ainment and contentment
The location of the Adams street tourist
hotel would be such as to heighten the
social effect, particularly as it is surround
ed by all those accessories which suggest
rest and recreation, and SO apart from the
noise and activity of commercial lie. The
location of itself would suffice to stamp
the place with the character of a thorough
ly fashionable caravansary.
Apropos of the discussion of site and the
universal conclusion that the Silent resi-
dence grounds is the best available. it is
pertinent to observe the economy of con-
struction there. In the first place the
huge structure proposed could be comfort
ably accommodated SO as not to require
the removal of one single shrub or tree, or
to disf1gure the matchless tropical land
scape. In this manner would be secured
to the new place a finished landscape. per-
feet in all its majestic flora and tree
growth. Then the ample grounds wodld
afford such abundant space for building
that width of base could be had in lieu of
altitude, thereby affording the maximum
result for expenditure. Apartments in a
tower-like structure would cost $500.
Each could easily be built here for about
half that sum. By this means the sum
sought to be obtained will supply SUI
perbly appointed tourist hotel of great ca
pacity with all the requisite accessions for
the highest enjoyment of the guests.

THE WILMINGTON MURDER

Lopez, the Shears Wielder, Said to Have
States Prison Record
The latest developments in the killing of
Jesus Alvarado by Manuel Lopez at Will.
mington last Sunday would seem to dis
credit Lopez's story that he struck in self
defense. Lopez claimed that he had no
weapon on his person and that the sheep
shears with which the stabbing was done
was the property of the dead man. On the
other hand, it is now alleged that Alvarado
was unarmed, and that he was deliberately
cut by his infuriated antaa onist. A French
man and another Mexican named Manuel
de la Torres saw the affray, but the stories
they tell are contradictory. Everybody
who is acquainted with the facts seems
afraid of Lopez, who seems to be hard
character.
He has served a seven-year term in
states prison for cutting a man, and an
other for grand larceny. He has reputa-
ton of being an idle and dissoIute char
acter and no one cared to incur his enmity.
Alvarado was q stranger in Wilmington,
having just come down from San Gabriel
to go to work Monday shearing sheep.
The whole affair was the result of too much
sour. wine. Lopez will be taken to Will
mington to stand his preliminary exmina-
ton.
