Just what the immediate effect Of Mr..
Cages policy would have upon trade

the avenues and channels of business

GIVE HIM PLENTY OF ROPE

The bill under which Mr. Mckinley
will act If he acts at all. in trying to Sc
cure an international monetary confer
ence, is not mandatory, as some sup
pose. 1t simply authorizes the president
to act in the premises whenever he shall
determine that such conference woull
be desirable, and since it is known that
Mr.. Mckinley has selected a gold stan
dard man for the treasury-a man who
is opposed to the reconciliation of sill
yer under any and all conditions-it is
reasonable to conclude that the pTesi-
dent will see no occasion for taking
measures looking to an international
conference on the silver question. The
bill itself would do very We'll if there
were an honest purpose to carry out its
provisions, but it is intended to throw
dust in the eyes of the public until Mr..
Gage succeeds in establishing his mon
etary system, when it would be entirely
useless to call an international confer
ence.
But it will be very much better for the
cause of silver to let Mr.. Gage have his
own way. An out-and-out single gold
standard policy would give the people
an opportunity for seeing it's advantages
and disadvantages; whereas an uncer-
tain and hesitating policy would leave
the problem solved. Advocates of the
reconciliation Of silver are well as.
sured Of the strength and correctness Of
their premises, because they have the
experience of trade and traffic in ali

a4en when compulsory education

Gated when compulsory education is
teaching every child in the country; 1t
cannot be used to distinguish between
the wise and foolish, for those are every.
where; nor between the provident and
improvident, between the good and the
bad. 80 far the nation has stood so
true to It's principles that distinctions be-
tween it's citizens have not crystallized,
and 1.-The masses" is still an alien phrase
"a foreign expression. The spirit OF
American institutions robs 1t OF its
meaning, and it can have no proper part
in the speech of the country. just as the
citizen Of the republic can have no
of the meaning implied in
keeping his place" Men serve one an
other under contract; the lawyer man
ages the laborer's business. and the la
borer digs the lawyers bitches. 1t all
becomes a mere question of honesty in
doing we'll what one is paid to do, and in
doing the best work one is capable of.
1t all resolves itself into question of
self respect; the question of servitude
does not enter into it. The servant, if
he is self-respecting, does the work he
is paid to do, as the president of the re-
public does the work he Is paid to do.
And as each man chooses his own work,
his place" his station in life"
the masses" are words superf1uous to
the loyal American.-Kansas City Star.

OF standin back an waitin' fur the place

OF loiterin' and lookin' on weth supercili-

It's bad enough eff ye don't earn successes

But bein' proud of failure is pitiful de-
ceit.
Yen never show that ye're at all superior

Suppose you are a genius thet could mako

A wilin' robbins better than a sulky

There is often some reward fur them en-

But Ven find there's never any fur the

The man that has the grit to go ahead an

So I'll file my application and support 1t

Cruelty of a Tax on Ouininc

reduction of the price of quinine, and
did not destroy the business of Amer

on drug so necessary to the masses Of

person, but the heartlessness of the pro-
posal differs only in degree from that of
other manufacturers, who ask to be per-

Western Men In the Chief Places

western man in the presidency will in
clude two western men for the chief

time any administration has been or

LET THE PUBLIC AUDIT THE
ACCOUNTS

1t Is the common practice with cities
that make any pretensions to be in the
march of progress to print and publish
In a volume the annual reports of the
heads of the different departments of the
public service, which reports are usually
made in compliance with the provisions
of the organic law governing the admin
istration of all cities. These reports
containing as they should do, full and
detailed information as to the workings
and the expense Of each department,
and a statement Of results achieved, af-
ford the taxpayer, as we'll as the sta
tistician, valuable information. The
publication OF such data and its pre-
servation in bound form also give an
opportunity for making comparisons
as to the cost of successive administra-
tions, and furnish easily available in
formation to confirm or dispose of
charges of extravaganza and waste that
are often brought against public Off
cials.
No man holding position of public
trust should be averse to allowing light
to be thrown upon his official acts, and
yet the late city council appears to have
had a singular objection to permitting
the rays of publicity to illuminate the
financial workings Of the city's business.
Since 1898 there has been no publica-
ton of the municipal reports Of Los An
geles, and not only was this duty neg
lected by the late council but the great
est Indifference has been displayed as to
whether such reports were filed in time.
or at all.
1t is to be hoped that the present coun-
Gil will take this matter up, and will, af-
ter ascertaining whether all the reports
to November 80. 1896, have been filed,
as required by the charter, order the
same to be printed. The expense is
comparatively small, and the duty
should not be lodged, as 1t was by the
last administration. on any such paltry
grounds as those of cost. The people
have a right to know what becomes of
the large sums annually paid in to the
treasury in the shape of taxes, license,
fees and other imposts, and in no other
way can such information be so well
furnished as in published report.
In addition there is a demand for our
municipal reports abroad. Other cities
send their reports here and expect those
of Los Angeles in return. The public Ii
brary is continually in receipt of such
requests, and the humiliating confession
has to be made that the city cannot af
ford, or is ashamed, to make publip
exhibition OF Its administration. If we,
as a city, are to be consistent in the ef-
forts made to advertise the attractions
of Los Angeles In the hope of bringing
fresh capital, new blood and increased
energy into the body polite, we must
recognize that it cannot be done alone by
verbose and high-fown descriptions of
climate, soil and vegetation. Practical
people will expect to find our municipal
reports on file in every public library of
Importance in the country, and they
should certainly be in the hands of those
who pay the taxes at home.
