WHYLER'S TOBACCO. EDICr
Cigar Makers May Evade 1.-THE Export Duty
on Cigars r1sy Be Increased.


on Cigars rlsy Be Increased.
Notwithstanding the edict Of General
Weyler prohibiting the expectation of
leaf tobacco from the port of Havana.
1t appears as If there would still be
some obtained by American manufac-
turers. 1t Is undisputed that there
Is still tobacco in the barns of the dis
trict of Pinar del Rio, occupied by the
insurgent troops. and 1t is also undis-
puted that this stock. as it becomes
matured on the drying poles and fit to
move. Is permitted. upon payment of a
tax to the insurgents. to be taken into
Havana or other well fortified cities
OF the Vuelta Abajo district, where this
famous tobacco Is grown. This being the
case, 1t seems possible to convey some
OF II to the seaboard of Pinar del Rio
and there transfer 1t to ship for trans
portation to this country. The agent
OF clear Havana cigar manufacturer
or this country was looking last week
into the matter of obtaining a vessel
with a view Of bringing over a large
shipment of the tobacco as soon as he
received notice that 1t was ready in
sufficient quantities to warrant the risk
rumor was set abroad by interested
persons to the effect that the Spanish
government was about to raise the ex-
port duty on cigars from Havana to
IS a 1000, the present rate being s.. go per
1000, and, this being cabled to Europe,
the factories at Havana were flooded
with orders to an extent not equaled
even by the rush caused by the McKin-
ley bill in 1890. The United States i'm
porters, however, did not take the bait
and have not increased their orders as
yet. There appears every probability
of such an increase in the export duty
in the near future, although a commit
tee of the Cigar Manufacturers union
of Havana presented a petition last
week to the Spanish government pro-
testing against such a step. Their pro-
test Is based on the fact that on bale
of Havana tobacco weighing about 100
pounds Is $3.65; that as the expectation
Of the raw material was stopped, It
must now be manufactured into cigars,
and that on bale making an average
of 1000 cigars the duty now paid was
S6.40, so that the government was al
ready nearly 100 per cent ahead in reve-
nue., and any increase in the export duty
would be oppressive. An increased ex-
port duty would mean an increase in
price on all imported cigars to the con-
sumner, for the margin of profit gained
by the retailer is, by reason of compe-
tition and cut prices, very small now.
and he would probably take the oppor-
nifty to make a much-desired strike.

Take Care Of the Cities

Editor Herald: Ever since the Los
Angeles Herald advanced the idea that
the time was ripe for our citizens to
abandon the custom of each political
party placing a separate ticket in the
field for city offices, and instead, to get
up good ticket without reference to
party lines, have felt greatly inter-
ested in the matter, and hoped the pub
lie would take kindly to So goQN a
cause.
The initial meeting on Thursday
night convinced me that If care is taken
to keep the movement in the hands of
judicious leaders not bosses), we shall
have not only greater Los Angeles,
but better Los Angeles. It's greatness
will expand with its betterment, and if
the best element of our city will only
do their full duty there is no reason
why ours should not be model munich
pality.
When men lay aside their political
prejudices, then their best Judgment
comes into action and wisest councils
prevail
1t is fortunate that this movement
has started early, for there is much
work to do, and it must be done earn
estly, persistently and intelligently.
Observant citizens know that the gang
and the push" have been working night
and day for months planning and

efforts will be made by them to thwart
this citizens movement. Those who
join must be prepared for abuse and
venom when cajolery fails to win them
back within their old party lines.
I notice that the evening organ" has
printed a. letter alleged to have been
written by a party who attended the
meeting and who claims to be in hearty

because no business man made speech.
Any business man present had the op
portunity. How thankful we should be
that all business men do not want to talk
In public. Another letter in the "organ"
inveighS against those who attended the
meeting who had formerly held office
under Republican auspices. Any man
who has any force or following who be-
comes prominent in this grand move
ment will be bombarded by this kind of
bosh. I concluded that those letters
were written by the gang who were in
politics for revenue only.
Some restiveness was displayed in
the meeting on account of the speakers
failing to be governed by the suggestion
of the chair not to scatter" We must
be patient. After a few meetings those
who love to talk will have had their op-
portunity, and we shall get down strict
ly to business. The fact that here is so
much independence of action being dis
played by members of all political par
ties this year renders the time most
opportune for the movement and nothing
but the widest blundering can prevent
a victory for a citizens ticket

OFFICIAL EXTRAVAGANCE

The cost of the office of county survey
or is greater than it has ever been.
In times as hard as those now prevail
ing the public officers should use econo-
my. They certainly should not go be-
yond any previous record in an extrava-
CANT dissipation of the tax money taken
from the community. Our supervisors
seem to be emula ting the late Republi-
can congress. With the treasury in
distress, the congress refused any relief
whatever. In defiance of business sense
to say nothing Of patriotism or humanity.
these public servants rushed into one
spendthrift largess after another, when
they knew as all the world knew, thar
the public receipts did not equal the
public expenditures. Besides this very
sufficient reason for cutting the coat ac-
cording to the cloth, there was tinan-
cial question to settle, which, whatever
way it went, demanded a strong condi-
ton of the treasury to lessen or prevent
business disquiet pending the decision.
Hopse sense with congress or the super
yisors would save much uneasiness and
relieve the great masses of the people,
who, directly or indirectly, pay the
taxes, from unnecessary burdens at
times when these are most difficult to
bear. Our public officers seem to like
deficits. Their wasteful and reckless
dissipation of the public funds seems
to run through every line of the public
service. Deficits exist in national and
in city affairs; even the state university
has a heavy deficit, in spite of its large
income from taxes. lands and interest
bearing funds. Whenever there is
surplus in one department it is usually
blown in in another. An instance of
this is Gov. Budd's discovery of the use
of Stockton insane asylum surplus
funds to pack with useless employees its
pay roll. This caused a great increase
of expense in spite of the large diminu-
tion of patients treated. Our county sur
veyor, it is said, was not without
knowledge of what financial straits are,
and to get into narrow turning quarters
may be with him quality of his nature,
but the supervisors should not bank
rupt the county to indulge a spendthrift
in any department. The whisper about

THEY WILL ENDORSE

The trend of thought in the Populists'
convention at st. Louis is most decidedly
in favor of the endorsement of William
]. Bryan for the presidency Whether
the Democratic nominee for vicepresi-
dent will also receive endorsement Is
yet an open question, but the, chances
seem favorable to the approval by
majority of the convention of the ticket
as completed at Chicago. The substi-
tuition of a Populist candidate for the
presidency for Mr.. Sewall would
certainly complicate matters. A simple
endorsement of both Democratic candi-
dates would not call for the placing in
the field of another set of electors-the
Populists would express their choice by
voting for the Democratic presidential
electors. The nomination of a separate
candidate for the vice. presidency would
necessitate set of Populist electors IN
each state, thus placing before the peo-
pie one lot of electors pledged to the
election of Bryan and Sewall, and an
other lot pledged to the election of Bryan
and the man the Populists might see fit
to oppose to Sewall. The moral effect of
the endorsement of Bryan would GER
tainly not be enhanced by the complica-
ton involved In a separate vice-presi-
Dental nominee, and it is to be hoped
the convention will take no such action
The probabilities of a bolt by the mid
die of the road" people in consequence of
the endorsement of Bryan by the ma
jority, are certainly very strong These
people are welded apparently to their
ideals, and neither suasion nor reason
can avail with them. But the boilers
will be stronger in leadership and We
hemency than in votes, for it is not at
al likely that the rank and file Of the
Populist party will be influenced by their
action. They had better get into the

The Royai Grandmother

The peace of Europe is not menaced
by a new danger in the proposed visit
of the Car of Russia to England. The
queen. has invited the czar to bring his
wife to visit her grandmother, and the
young couple will probably accept the
invitation. But France sees in this a
menace to the Franco Russian alliance,
while Germany insists that it is the en-
peror of Germany who ought to visit
the grandmother. All Of which goes to
prove that the queen of England is not
the only old woman in politics in Europe.

In an article entitled Gold for the

John f. Humphreys, published in The
Herald of yesterday, the writer through
an error, is made to say: is it not true
that if our farmers (who are the granite
pillars upon which We stand) are forced
to do business upon a gold basis. with
silver at par, that the foreign buyers
will only buy our bullion and use it at
par in silver standard countries; and we
must stand the discount if we sell our
farm produce" The phrase forced to
do business upon a gold basis with
silver at par" should read forced to
do business on a gold basis with our
silver bullion at a heavy discount"
which is quite a different proposition.

FATHER O. GoRMAN
He Is Chosen to Fill the Vacant Seat
At Sioux Falls.

At Sioux Falls.
Rev. Father O'Gorman has been ap-
pointed bishop of Sioux Falls, S. D. The
appointment has not been wholly unex-
pected, nevertheless it was not thought
that clergyman OF his We'll known abll-
ity would be selected for a see SO humble
and which will entail much labor. Faith
er O'Gorman is the professor of history
in the Catholic university at Washing
ton, and dean Of the faculty. He has
been the chief aid and counsellor of Mgr.
Satolli since the latter arrived in this
country. He is IS years of age and was
educated at the church school of Max
imieux. near Lyons, France, where he
and Archbishop Ireland were classmates.
Father Cleary says of the appointment:
THAT is certainly news to me. Faith
er O'Gorman Is an excellent man for the
place and I had rather expected to- see
the honor fall to him. am glad that
he has received a we'll deserved promo
ton, though am sorry that his bishOpric
is to be that of Sioux Falls. There isn't
very much to work for in that field. The
father is we'll known to Minnesota peo-
pie. For many years he was priest of
the church at Rochester, and was the
first president Of st. Thomas seminary
at Merriam Park. He also delivered the
dedicatory sermon of St. Paul's seminary
i'll st. Paul last year. AS an author he
is best known by his recently published
volume on the history of the Catholic
church in the United States, which is
one of the church history series now be-
ing issued. He is most polished orator
and profound thinker"

Mr.. Long brought up the matter of
uniting the Minnesota Farmers Alliance
with the Industrial Union. He COM
planned somewhat about the lack of In
terest in the Industrial Union. 1t de-
veloped that there were only seven mem
bers of that organization present. Mr..
Meighen explained that the time for the
transformation of the Alliance into Sc
cret society was not at hand.
A resolution declaring for the govern
ment control of land, transportation and
finances, was introduced by G. H. Hop
,kins, of Renville. It was objected to by
Mr.. Long and others because this was
purely political, and the Alliance was a
ncn-partisan organization, the Alliance
being largely business and cooperation
in character. The men voting against
the adoption Of the resolution expressed
themselves as favoring the resolution
personally but opposed to the indorse-
lnent as an Alliance. The resolution was
laid on the table.
Another resolution aimed against the
State University was also laid on the ta-
BILE.
Shortly before the adjournment S. NJ.
Fairchild and w. Lee Moore, of the COM
mittee on arrangements, reported that
the railroad had given reduced rates and
that the business men Of Minneapolis,
through the Commercial Club, had con-
tributed $50 to pay the rent for Harmonic
