An English writer says that 'Mr.
Chamberlain holds fast to the soothing

a grist to their mill"

Somebody who has just returned from
Rockville, Conn.,, after long stay in
Cuba, is quoted as asserting that many
Spanish officers have made enormous
amounts of money since the war be-

ing to this authority, has already ac-
cumulated something like $3,O00,0 900 as
his share OF the plunder.

THERE MAY BE WAR

The danger of an assault upon the
quarters of the United States consul
general in Havana must be great when
it has to be under guard of special de-
tail of armed policemen, but no doubt
the death of Maceo has caused the rela-
tions between Americans and Spaniards
to be very much strained. The denunci-
ations of Weyler and the demands for
the immediate recognition Of Cuban in
dependence by congressman and sena-
tors acting In their official capacity
would very naturally anger spaniards
everywhere.
The Madrid government is no doubt
trying very hard to prevent an open
rupture with this country, but 1t is by
no means certain that it can much long
er keep Its subjects from committing an
overt act. The greatest danger, how
ever, is that the Republicans of Spain
will involve their country SO as to give
them an opportunity to establish re-
public in Spain. In view of all the COM
plications it does not now appear how
the two nations will avoid serious trou-
BILE, unless Weyler shall speedily put
down the Cuban rebellion. Meanwhile.
our government is preparing for tilt.

SILVER REPUBLICAN CLUB
The Prospects of a Successful Permanent
Organization Are Excellent

A meeting of the silver Republican
forces was called for yesterday evening,
but owing to the inclement condition of
the weather, it was postponed until a
more favorable time.
Means fer increasing the membership
of the club were to have been considered.
The members have now formed a per-
manent organization and propose to fit
up a club headquarters, and conduct the
affairs of the organization just the same
as any other club. A membership of
1900 has already been secured, and as
soon as this is increased to 2500, rooms
will be secured and fitted up with bill
lard and pool tables, baths and all the
accessories of a well-organized club,
which will be for the use of it's members.
The dues are to be 81 per year.
The headquarters have now been To-
Gated at room 422 in the Bullard block
and will be removed from their present
location on Second street today.

AGAINST ITS OWN NElGHBoRs

The Berkeley agricultural college and
the Times have lain down together. 1t
is not case of the lion and the lamb. 1t
is two of kind-"Arcades ambos."
The assassin of private character has
gone into a combine with the Berkeley
enemies of Southern California. These
go their slander teacher one better on
his own speciality.
The Herald has sent out to the farm
ers, fruit growers and vineyardists of
this section to find what or who had
derived benefit from the costly Berkeley
college. We found not one. Our COL
umns have been open, and are open now,
to anyone who desires to show what ben
eft has been done by the Berkeley peo-
Pile.
No farmer has come forward to de-
fend them. To be perfectly fair with our
readers. The Herald has republished
several articles from the Times and from
the Berkeleyan intended to present their
case.
What were these articles? In no in
stance an answer to any Of the criti-
cisms made of the Berkeley methods and
absence of results. When called upon
for an instance of benefit from soil
analysis their reply is, 1.-THE mans mo-
tives are base" When asked what crop
they have improved their answer is,
estry station to students, their answer
is a TRADE of abuse.
The Times has always been the enemy
Of Southern California, and may we'll
go into alliance with the enemies of our
section and of our citizens. Even a man
of its own party, high enough to be a
presidential elector and the farmers
candidate for secretary of agriculture to
Mckinley, has just come through fire
of Berkeley SANDER and abuse put up
for the destruction of the board of hor-
ticulture and the diversion of its apro-
priation to their college of agriculture.
1t ought to be renamed the College of
SANDER.
The Times takes up these enemies of
our people for reasons that are unknown
probably the nature of the beast.
When Southern California sentiment
and interests were ripe for state division
it was the Times that put through the
Santa Barbara surrender and sold its
own people for mess of Markham pot
tage. 1t is against our workmen, adver-
tises the country as a consumption
breeder opposes the chamber of COM
merce meeting of the senators and as
semblymen of Southern California,
makes a sensation out of a Riverside
cold-snap, and stabs this section, as it
does our people, whenever the notion
takes it. No man or woman, however
pure and good, has their reputation safe
while the present management Of the
Times continues. No section, town, cour-
ty or industry is safe IN Southern Cali
fornia under the cruel and inhuman Shy
lock domination of the Times.
The one consolation for our people in
the situation is that the hand of the
Times in friendship is the hand of death
Goodbye then to the Berkeley college,
with all its literary self-praise, its bril-
liant political lobby and reckless disre-
gard of truth. Farewell, good enemies,
and plant your tombstone on the Times

SWEET IS THY LAW

Sweet is thy law, o, God!

Heavy the burdens borne;
Sorrow shall rule by day,
Grief shall abide till morn.

Temples Of living grace
Rearing by grain on grain:

Campbell shot the hot lead into Nor

The metropolitan police law, he said,

the grave of Lewelling, and would be-
