MODERN MEXICO

One Of the most interesting journals
which has reached The Herald's Office
lately, and which should prove a valu-
able campaign document, is the Septem-
ber issue of Modern Mexico. An ex-
ceedingly handsome edition it is, pro-
fusely illustrated with photographs of
some of the stately buildings of the city
Of Mexico and several of the distin-
guished citizens of the republic. In
view Of the countless falsehoods that
are being circulated concerning Mexico
as "silver-cursed country" the evil
dence of this journal is both timely ana
interesting.
A few valuable statistics may b.
quoted from this authority with ad-
vantage:
The total value Of all imports to Mex
leo for the first two months of this year
was $7,137,446. This is an increase of
81, 1,600,794 over the two corresponding
months of 1895. The exports of Mexico,
comparing the same periods, increased
over $S,OO0,000.
Mexico imports comparatively little
American wheat, but annually consumes
about $175,000 worth of American -four
tiAC ~ PlOAilllty VI Ild-
vana, the amount of American tobacco
used in Mexico increased s5000o last
year.
The value Of seeds, sold to the republic
increased from $45oO to s14, ,OOO when the
first ten months Of the last two years
are compared.
American bacon and lard find rapid
ly increasing sale in Mexico. A million
pounds more lard were sold there last
year than the year before.
During the first ten months Of 1895 the
value Of the wool and wooden goods sent
to Mexico increased from $4,000 (for
the same period of the preceding year,
to $235,0oo.
The value Of the agricultural imple-
ments shipped to Mexico from the Unit
ten months of 1894 to $4,000 during the
same period of 1895.
The value Of lumber, shingles, ETC.,
sent to Mexico from this country
in ten months of 1894 was s4s2, 900; in
1885, $746,000. The manufactures of
wood increased in as great a propor-
tion.
over $4,000 bushels Of American corn
found its way into Mexico during ten
months Of 1894. Last year, during the
same months, the number of bushels
imported increased to $4,000, valued at
$172,000.
The importation of American cotton
cloth by Mexico increased from $500, ,OOC
yards for the first ten months of 1894 to
5,500,00O yards during the same period
Of 1895. The exports Of other American
cotton manufactures increased in like
proportion.
The improvement in the class of
breeding stock that is being imported
into Mexico is nowhere more strikingly
illustrated than in sheep. In 1894 5000
sheep were imported. valued at $4,000:
last year 1900 sheep were imported, val
ued at $1,000.

Otisian Smiles

Some Of our exchanges which are
fighting in the cause of the people and
free silver are very angry because OF the
following language from the Los An

Marc Antony's appeal to the cupidity.
the envy, the hatred and the malice of
the Roman populace, in his Grafton over
the body Of Caesar, is discounted by
young Bryans appeals to the evil pas
sions Of those who listen to his
harangues. There is this difference,
however: Marc Antony's appeal was
that of crafty, brainy and daring
leader; Bryan's is that of vulgar DEM
agogue, the pothouse politician, the uu-
scrupulous office-seeker, the moral cow
ard.

OUR SEASIDE RESORTS

Los Angeles is highly favored not only
with a climate of unsurpassed salubrity
and healthfulness, but also in the matter
of seaside resorts, which during the
summer months constitute very i'm
portant feature Of life in this charming
country.
Within easy reach from this city by
rail are several beach resorts where peo-
pie can go at nominal cost and spend
hours, days or weeks in the enjoyment
of such health-promoting pleasures as
can be found nowhere but at the seaside.
Even here in the city one can be COM
Portable, so far as climatic conditions are
concerned, through the entire summer:
but it is always a luxury during the
warmer months to get as near the ocean
as possible, and it is not strange that a
large percentage of our population avail
themselves of the opportunities Of
fered.
Each Of the seven nearby seaside re-
sorts possesses some feature or features
peculiar to itself and different from those
OF any other one. Santa Monica. the
largest of any in population, has it's long
wharf, romantic canyon, monster bath
house and a bicycle race track.
Ocean Park has it's beautiful grove of
trees, and is the permanent camping
ground Of the Southern California Y. M.
c. A.
Redondo Is located upon natural am
pitheater, and has a deep water canyon
which is favorite resort for uncounted
thousands of fish. AS the wharf is very
near to the edge of the canyon it affords
unsurpassed facilities for fishing.
San Pedro. with it's picturesque loca-
tion, has a natural barbor, where sail
ing, rowing and fishing are enjoyable
every day in the year. uat
Terminal Island offers special Induce
ments to pleasure parties in the matter
Of an electric lighted dancing pavilion
and ocean bathing without breakers.
Long Beach is noted for its extensive
and marvelously smooth. compact driv-

The new woman Of the novelist is
merely one Of DR.. Max Nordau's degen-
crates. She is tho creation of a writer
who is hysterical and degenerate, and
the world takes her as something that
really exists. To be sure, there arc plenty
of women with ''pasts" and with
'yearnings," and there always have
been and probably always will be, but ]

The jaundiced writers Of ''The Vel
low Book" cannot be expected to give
us pictures of healthy lives. Their tastes
run to worm eaten fruit, They have no
liking for that which is red with tho
hue Of health. They prefer the yellow
hue Of decay. DR.. Nordau is quite right
when he calls it disease. The heroines
of 1.-THE Yellow Book" Of "Discords"
and Of "Wreckage" might have been
taken from Lombroso's study Of the fe-
male offender. If they exist outside Of
their creators brains, their cases will be
found recorded in scientific studies Of
criminology or in the ordinary police re-
ports.
The new woman as 1 find her outside
of the pages Of fiction is an industrious,
healthy minded, healthy bodied young
person, with certain amount Of inde
pendence, who cares more for out Of door
sports than for indoor follies, and who
if she has work to do does it and does
not waste her time i'll telling about it.
