He would be blind man who could
not see that the chances of a Demo-
cratic victory this year have distinctly
improved since the beginning of the
year. What are the conditions on which
those chances can be seized? We have
seen no sounder, clearer or more COM
prehensive statement of them than that
made by Mr.. Edward M. Shepard at the
recent meeting of the Democratic party
in Kings county. He defined them as
follows:
THE changing public sentiment now
gives genuine promise that IL the Demo-
cratic party shall be true to its own ira
ditional policy; if, without makeshifts
and without time serving, 1t shall de-
clare itself unqualifiedly in favor of a
sound, honest gold dollaC, in favor of an
honest and thorough trial of the Wilson
tariff law. with the hope-and, more,
with the belief-that its results shall in
duce the people to demand still further
reductions in oppressive and corrupting
taxation; if the Democratic party shall
nominate for president a man who, be-
yond any doubt stands for these things,
and stands. besides, for prudent. scru-
pulouS. magnanimouS, peace-loving,
but not war-fearing, temper in our re-
lations with other nations, for honest
and efficient executive administration,
for real and sympathetic observance
of civil service laws, for the genuine
democracy or JEFFERSON and seymour
and Tilden, we may well expect to sue
coed. We shall thus deserve success.
And that, surely, is the only course by
which we Democrats mean to command
success
Mr. Shepard is very serious and con-
WINGED Democrat. Though Mr.. Seymour
stood for the presidency on platform
that advocated the payment of bonds
in legal tender notes and Mr.. Tilden on
one that demanded the repeal of the
specie resumption act, their personal
views We're as sound as Mr.. Shepard s
own. and on that account he can take a
Democrats pride in citing their gen
uine Democracy" as among the condi-
tons of success. He does not forget
however. that in this crisis of the his
tory of the country and the party even
a candidate as sound and sincere as Mr..
Seymour or Mr. Tilden cannot safely
or honorably be put forward on plat
form as shaky as those on which they
stood. This year the party cannot trust
to a good candidate and weak plat
form, or a good platform and weak
candidate. Both must be of the best
and the strongest, or defeat will surely
follow.-New York Times.

OUR SECTION ALL RIGHT

Whatever may be said of the remain
der of the state. Southern California, at
least, rides on the top wave of prosper
ity. The conversion of grain fields into
orchards and vineyards keeps on apace,
the development of villages into towns
and towns into cities continues. while
the influx Of capital and people from
the alternately -blanketed and
sun-baksd east Is greater than at any
other normal period of this sections his
tory. Confidence in our possibilities
and prospects is stronger than ever be-
fore, and Southern California is being
literally accorded the recognition she
so richly merits. Her superiority over
other parts of the great American union
has been accentuated by this past win
ter. which has afflicted every part but
this with the elements of destruction.
Everywhere except here the enterprise
Of capital and the industry of labor have
been robbed and discouraged by frost
cyclone. deluge or drought. Here alone
nature has smiled with almost uniform
kindness upon the efforts of man to build
for himself and posterity. While our
brethren of the northern part of the
state are doomed to suffer losses in their
fruit crops because of recent weather
happenings, the crops of Southern Cal
ifornia will nearly all be up to stand
ard, and the most important of these,
the orange crop. will prove exceptionally
satisfactory to the growers. Both the
yield and the prices obtained for it have
been gratifying to the producers. Thus
far more than 5000 carloads have been
shipped from this section, and by the
time the season closes there will have
been beyond doubt total of 5000 car
loads, in round numbers, sent away.
These signify returns to the orangemen
Of about 100000, and as yet we have
only seen the beginning of the orange
industry in Southern California.
Incidentally it may be remarked that
the orange-growers of California this
year is happy and prosperous, without
the aid or intervention of the United
States government to any considerable
extent. He is not the beneficiary of a
bounty or Of a tariff that protects, al
though he is carrying some of the bur"
dens that protection imposes on the
farmers and fruit-growers of the coun-

San Francisco Examiner has to say
along this line in the course of an edi-
torial on the condition of the orange in
dustry of the state, is peculiarly apropos.
That paper says:
Perhaps our protectionist friends
may permit us to call their attention to
| the fact that they were trying to start
high tariff crusade among the orange
growers only a few weeks ago on the
| ground that the Wilson law left them
| exposed to the incursions of the pauper
| citrus fruits of Europe. Now we find
that notwithstanding the Wilson law
| or because of it, as protectionists would
have claimed If it had been their meas
ure, the orange-raisers have enjoyed
the most prosperous season in the his
tory of their industry-a history that
includes nearly four years of McKin-
leyism. Tariff campaign documents fol
southern consumption will have to be-
constructed with considerable, skill thi;
year.

McKlniey's Consistency

Major McKinley's personal organ in
Chicago prints three extracts from
speech made by its idol at Niles, O.. in
August, 1891. to prove that the major
is unalterably opposed TO the free
coinage of silver and in favor of the sim
ele gold standard. The personal organ
should have a care lest it prove too
much. If Mckinley stands now upon
his utterances in Niles in 1891 he is OPP
l.osed to his own Ohio platform, and he
is as obnoxious as any gold bug can be
to the crowds in mining states that
lately greeted DR.. Depew with loud
hurrahs for Mckinley and free silver.
The majors organ must steer carefully
or it will spoil the effect his straddling
Ohio platform was intended to produce
in the states where the people worship
the little silver gods of Demetrius.-

Secretary, Carisle's address before the
Chicago workingmen last evening is good
specimen of the kind of argument that
should be heard in every part of the coun-
try, II we are ever to get square cur

rungency he illustrated the old truth that
the laborer is the first man to be hurt by
a deprecated currency and the last man

he aflirms truly that this is only thinly
disguised proposition to reduce wages one

say we must pay only Japanese wages.
of course they do not say this openly: they

one-half, the reduction might better be en-
dured on the gold standard. Then man

A MoRTGAGED COMMITTEE

Although no public notice, such as
for record. has been had, it is apparent
that the distinguished leader Of the
third house at Washington. Mr.. Coils
r. Huntington. has an ironclad mort
gage on about nine members of the SEN
ate committee on commerce.
At . late hour last evening The Herald
received q special. dispatch announc-
ing that substantially the same harbor
proposition .telexraphed so temptingly
by Congressman McLachlan has been
agreed on by the senate committee. The
ment undertake the construction Of a
brsakwater at q cost of $3000,0O0 at
Santa Monica, or more strictly ex-
pressed. Port Los Angeles. and that
$685. 900 be expended to complete the in
ner harbor at San Pedro. When 1t is
borne In mind that the Port Los An
geles project has never been asked for
by the people Of this city and vicinity,
that no government engineers have ever
testified in its favor, that its sponsors
outside of Santa Monica have been only
Southern Pacific officials and Southern
Pacific sympathizers. barring few in
significant exceptions. and that on the
other hand the people of this locality
have in various ways expressed their
overwhelming preference for San Pedro
as the site for deep-sea harbor, and
that three different boards of govern
ment engineers have spoken for the lat
ter against the other scheme, 1t is plain
that some extraordinary influence has
been brought to bear to bring about the
result that the Herald regretfully
places before it's readers today.
There Is but one recourse left the
people, and that Is to appeal to the
senate itself. If the right kind of
work is done on the floor of the United
States senate Mr.. Huntington's mort
gage can be made valueless. The issue
rests with Senator White. He can en-
compass Mr.. Huntington's defeat If he
tries. Will he try?

In the midst of this brigade rode An

This bonnie little rider was dressed in
a cavalier suit of brown corduroy, her
pretty mop of yellow hair floating over
her shoulders from beneath her broad.
plumed hat. She rose standing in the
rose wreathed saddle, and, when the

the dust and saluted the queen by re-
moving her hat with true knightly
grace. Then. springing up, she whis

instant, the intelligent animal had low
cred his head, and raising it again as
quickly flung the little rider into her
saddle by a quick movement of the
powerful neck against which she
leaned. In another moment she was
again standing erect and bowling low
to the queen, she rode on amid the
cheers Of the audience, delighted with
the clever trick of Craftsmanship so
gracefully done by mere child.

A Railway Harbor

Referring to the Southern California
harbor question, the Oakland Enquirer
very properly remarks that whenever a
railroad company is going to derive all
the benefit from the deepening of har-
Dor or the construction of a shelter from
storms. that corporation should pay the
cost. 1t has no right to ask the govern
ment of the United States to make a
harbor for its exclusive use. There is
nothing wrong in wanting a harbor of
its own, but it is wrong to ask the gov
eminent to pay for it.-Riverside Press.

THE GREAT UNNAMED

They have no place in storied page.
No rest in marble shrine
They are past and gone with a persisted
age,
They died, and made no sign"
But work that shall find it's wages vet.
And deeds that their God did not forget.
Done for the love Divine
These were their mourners and these shall
be
The crowns of their immortality.
oh. seek them not where sleep the dead,
Ye shall not find their trace;
No craven stone is at their head,
No green grass hides their face;
But sad and unseen is their silent gravel
IT may be the sand or the deep sea wave,
Or lonely desert place;
For they needed no prayers, and no mourn
ing bell
They were tombed in true hearts that knew
them well.
They healed sick hearts till theirs were
broken,
And dried sad eyes till theirs lost light;
We shall know at last by certain token
How they fought. and fell in the fight.
Salt tears of sorrow unbeheld,
Passionate cries unchrOnicled,
And silent strifes for the right
Angels shall count Them and Earth shall
sigh
That she left her best children to battle
and die. Sir Edwin Arnold.
