AT THE THEATERS

THE BURBANK-Gilbert and Sullivan's
most successful comic opera, The Mikado.
was presented last night by the Carleton
Opera company before a very large and
enthusiastic audience. 1t was a some-
what abridged edition, but most of the
melodious numbers we're given, and ex-
cellent effect. The orchestra has been
strengthened and the improvement in
their work was very marked, thereby
greatly enhancing the artistic success Of
the performance. The harmonious mad
rgal, sung by Yum Yum, Miss Rena At
kinson; Pitt Sing, Miss Selma Taylor;
Nanli-Poo, Jay c. Taylor. and Pish-Tush,
w. Propert G arleton. was an excellent
example of concerted singing and was
loudly redemanded. Tom Ricketts, scored a
great success as Ko-Ko, and his patter-
songs were distinctly and humorously
rendered. The versatile Pooh Bah was
we'll portrayed by that fine bass singer, W.
Hamilton, while Propert Carleton proved
himself the worthy son of worthy sire.
Mr.. Carleton himself is not at his best as
the Mikado, but delighted the audience
between the acts with very fine rendering
of the ballad Rose Marie.

peated tonight.

The old trick of selling lots in mythical
towns in Southern California is still
worked. An instance OF this sort has just
come to light, the land which eastern peo-
pie are asked to purchase being located on
price is placed at a mere trifle, but as there
is always profit in getting something for
nothing, the promoters of the affair have
probably realized quite handsomely. Still.
there is no occasion for eastern people to
be duped by swiudles of any kind in Cali
fornia. The chambers of commerce and
boards of trade all over the state cheer.

PROTECTION FOR SILVER

Inat silver pfotectlon belongs properly
to the Republican, or Mckinley system"
Is forcibly argued by Senator Cameron and
other great lights of the e. O. p. These
leaders are clearly in the right. The con-
sanguinity between the two is so manifest
that, doubtless, the st. Louis convention
will be exceedingly embarrassed in it's
probable attempt to formulate a platform
in denial of the relationship. That the one
is the legitimate offspring of the other can
not, logically, be questioned; for an unsev-
cred umbilical cord unites them.
McKinleyism distinctly avows ''protec-
ton for protection's sake'; national rev.
enues being relegated to the rear, as a
mere incident under the benefcent sys-
tenn. Wherefore it consistently espouses
the cause of any special interest (having
sufficient lobby back of it) and sustains it
at the expense of the whole people, justify
ing the same upon grounds of national ex-
pediency.
Beneficiaries of this system, accordingly,
are properly construed to be just as truly
'waras of the nation" as our soldier PEN
sioners. Hence, protectionism enfolds, in
its paternal embrace and scope, subsidies
to our merchant marine, bounties to sugar
growers, discriminative customs duties in
favor of iron, coal, copper, lead and tin
mine-owners, as, also, for the protection of
holders of lumber lands, the shearers of
sheep upon a thousand hills and, lastly. to
prop the great manufacturers who work
up vast home and export product from
these basic materials.
Now come the silver mine-owners and
say: I'VE own valuable metal which
cannot be helped in the markets by an i'm
port duty; but we, silver kings, are just as
much entitled to protection as are
our brothers, the iron and lumber
lords, the coal and copper barons,
and the lead and tin magnates. There
has been slump in silver and some-
thing must be done to make our business
sure thing. Let it be enacted that the
government shall pay us, out of the peo-
pies treasury, the difference between the
market value of silver aud that of gold,
measuring the former in the latter upon
coinage valuation of 16 ounces silver to
of gold. This may seem somewhat arbi-
trary, but the people will stand it. If it be
urged. by the agricultural interests, that
wheat has 'slumped' in the markets and
ought. by law, to fetch one dollar per
bushel, we have nothing to say in hostility
to such enactment-if farmers can COM
pass it; but our case stands upon it's own
merits, is supported by potential friends
and is clearly within the lines of the pro-
lection policy. Come! Why can we not
get together, united party, under the
Egis of protectionism? That its ex-
elusive wings should shelter beneath them
our silver kings is hardly disputable pro-
position"
Nor is it. But what is good Republican
pabulum is poisonous food for Democrats.

The contract to supply locomotives with
crude oil fuel which the Los Angeles Oil
Exchange has made with an Arizona rail-
road is the second deal of the kind which
has followed the discovery of petroleum
wells in the southern metropolis. For
months past the Santa Fe lines in
California have used crude oil in their loco
motive furnaces, and the results have
been to save 25 per cent of the former
costs of coal. Indeed, the use of oil in the
production of motive power has SO gener.
ally increased in the south that the visits
of coal-laden vessels there, which lately
cut great figure in the business Of San
Diego ard San Pedro, have become few

CONGRESSMAN TAFT, in discussing the

ciple of the Republican party and that

publican party was organized by men with
ill kinds of views of the tariff issue. and
every other issue, dead or alive. These
men subordinated their opinions on every
thing to the one proposition of holding
slavery where it was at that time. The
Republican party had originally no more to
do with protection than the Prohibition
party has now.

EVERYBODY interested in the develop
ment and fame of Los Angeles should
work and vote for annexation today and
thus assist in the realization of the project
Of greater Los Angeles. The people res
dent in the territory that it is intended to
annex, ought certainly to cast their ballots
IN the affirmative. The reasons for placing
the municipal line around them are many,
and should prove convincing. Annexa-
ton means to the people of the district
voted in. fire and police protection, library
privileges. street improvements and sewer
facilities, cheapened insurance and postal
