Du LONE Did Not Object.

Washington, June 3.-The Madrid dis
patch TO the London Morning Post that
Minister Du Puy De Lone had protest
ed to Secretary Olney against the pres
ence of the Cuban flag on Decoration
Day parade In New York, is found upon
investigation here to be erroneous. The
Spanish Minister made no protest. His
government is fully aware that the
United States had no control over the
procession In which the flag appeared.
and that the Grand Army Marshal per-
mitted the Cuban flag to be carried sim
ply as an advertisement for the Cuban
iaiF; Ihe incident was magnified in the
Madrid papers after their manner of
serving up American news, but has no
international significance.

SOMEWHAT IN CONFLICT

A bright writer in the San Francisco
Town Talk gets in the following neat
whack at the inconsistency of Republi-
cans opposing foreign immigration and
at the same time preaching Of the ad-
vantages of home market" He says:
1.-The outcry the Republican brethren
are making over foreign immigration
comes into rather amusing conflict with
the economic foundation of some Of their
fiscal theories-one of the most pro-
nounced of which is that the home mar
ket is the most important basis Of indus
trial prosperity. The home market. by
the way Is simply the population; there
is necessarily great home market when
we have large population, and small
home market when we have small pop
ulation. The whole thing rests upon the
number of stomachs that there are to
fill and the number of bodies that there
are to clothe; it takes more clothing to
cover one hundred people than it does
to cover ten people and it takes more
food to nourish one hundred people than
it does to feed ten people. Therefore the
greater the number of people there are
in the country the greater will be our
home market. That is a mathematical
proposition. If we should sacrifice all
other considerations to the building up
of the home market-and that has been
the logic of the Republican contention on
this point in the past-it is difficult to un

Reckless Congress

At the time when pSblic revenues are
not quite equal to the normal public
expenditures, one would think that wise
craftsmanship would suggest the pro-
priety of holding the appropriation
bills down to the lowest notch. This
congress. however, seems to regard the
matter from different standpoint for it
has been appropriating money with the
same recklessness that characterized
Gar Reeds billion dollar congress. In
stead of keeping expenses down 1t has
been piling them up as high as possible,
and at the same time it has made no
effort to furnish the government with
funds to make good the appropriations.
1t has failed to amend the tariff so as to
provide substitute for the income tax
which the supreme court destroyed, or
to provide legislation which would make
it easier to raise money on bonds or to
deal with the money question in a man.
ner that would be calculated to remove
the timidity of capital AS the power
which holds the national purse strings,
it has simply directed debts to be con-
tracted and paid which it knows that the
government has not and will not have the
means to pay. That is the conduct of a
body of rogues and fools rather than
of statesmen and patriots.-San Fran

An immense crowd followed them as

the sermon and benediction the veterans

old war songs.
l will close this somewhat lengthy ar
ticle by an extract from an address
given by George Washington on Marc,,
II, 1870. in reply to the congratulations
of a deputation of American Catholics
headed by the grandfather of Gen.
Meade, the hero of Gettysburg: "As
mankind becomes more liberal. they will
be more apt to allow that all those who
conduct themselves worthy members Of
the community, are equally entitled to
the protection of civil government. /
hope ever to see America among the
foremost nations in examples Of justice
and liberality: and I presume that your
fellow citizens will not forget the pa
triotic spirit which you took in the ac-
complishment of their revolution and
the establishment of their government
or the important assistance which they
received from a nation in which the Ro-
man Catholic faith is professed."

THE NEW DIRECTORY'S

A carefully prepared, well ordered city
directory has grown to be one ofthe es-
sential unofficial institutions of every
community above the grade of the viii
lage, and Los Angeles has been FORUM
ate in the possession Of such a work
for several years. The edition for
1896 of MaXwell's Los Angeles CITY
Directory and Gazetteer of Southern
California is the equal in all respects
and the superior in many of any former
issue. And it is particularly pleasing
because of the substantial progress it is
able to show for Los Angeles and South
ern California generally during the past
twelve months.
The book contains 100 pages, 1900 of
which are devoted to the alphabetical
list of names, $50 to the classified city
business directory, 100 to the gazetteer oil

to new street directory and miscellan-

A SHAMEFUL SPECTACLE

Thanks to the soberer sense of Repub-
licans in the east protest now and then
arises in that party against the double
headed opinions of the man who is sure
to be nominated at st. Louis" 1t is
unusual and yet not surprising to hear
of open rebellion in some quarters. and
there is more to come. Thus the Boston
Journal, referring to the Ohio money
plank which was prepared by McKin-
ley, says. Hating cowardice rides like
dark upon the Mckinley steed."
But the object at the moment is to call
public attention to the attitude of the
Republican party in this stae. 1t would
seem as II it makes no claim or assertion
of 20 policy or a: principle. Not content
with making platform that was a vir-
tual bid to every venal voter the party
In every quarter of the state, and by
every means, is soliciting help on the
ground that it is no sacrifice of principle
on anybody's part to support it. On May
18th, at once after the adjournment of its
recent state convention, the Call made
an appeal to the Populists to support
the Republican party. 1.-THE platform
of the Republican party is good enough
for every intelligent Populist to stand
on it boastingly declared. And in its
last issue the Argonaut, while point
ing out that the Democrats will split on
the money question, asks how many
votes would be lost to the Republicans of
California even if the national conven-
tion should declare for gold. And it
answers, Practically none" We doubt
II in the whole annals of politics there
can be found more shameful spectacle
OF a party's decay of principle than these

the purpose of selecting delegates to the
Democratic state convention has in
dorsed the administration of Governor
Budd. The convention which meets in
this city on Saturday next can be ex-
pected to follow suit. Governor Budd
deserves the encomiums of the entire
California Democracy. Regardless of
the pressure within and without his own
party, he is loyalty and bravely keeping
the covenants entered into when he ac-
cepted the gubernatorial nomination,
and his fidelity and capacity are entitled
to cordial recognition by his party as
sociates, and, for that matter, by every
citizen who realizes the importance of
those qualities in a public servant The
governor is fulfilling the expectations of
his friends and negativing the predic-
tions of his enemies.

of the London water; others because
there is not more rumpus about the
English finances; others because of her

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 1906

The color line looms up darkly at St.
Louis and threatens untold embarrass-
ment to the committee having the ar
rangements for the entertainment of the
Republican national convention in
charge. Especial solicitude is being dis
played by the Mckinley advance agents.
Anxiety on the part of the latter is quite
natural. The negro delegates from the
south are practically solid for Hanna's
protege, and if they should take into
their heads to become furiously indig-
nant at the treatment prepared for them
by st. Louis hotel, lodging and boarding
house keepers and decide to stay away
the forces of William of the tariff would
suffer disastrous diminution. Can it be
possible that the boycott of the negro
delegates is one of those mysterious
moves of Boss Platt's of which hints
have been given out by politicians the
last few days?
