for its force upon the consent Of the peo-
pie. We have not come yet to the open
robbery by force, the murder and the
rape of the Turkish Bashi-Bazouk, but
our blind barons Of Doodle are more and
more disposed to surround themselves
with Pinkertonian private fighters that
may by and by be as bloody as any of
Weyler's guerillas.
The result of order and OF the security
of the laborer in what he produces Is a
progressive improvement in the capacity
and character of the laborer. His labor
becomes more earnest, more intelligent
and more productive. Surely II this is
not the case all of civilization Is a fail
ure. II civilization does not increase the
productive power of the individual II
cannot endure We know that civllza-
tion does increase the productive power
of the individual. We know that 1t has
increased the intelligence and energy of
labor. Those who say that pauper or
slave is better and more efficient
worker than an intelligent freeman
born and bred in America deny a future
to mankind. The doctrine that a slave
can beat and better the labor of free
man denies hope to humanity. II pro-
lection is true doctrine we have moth
ing to expect but a relentless contest
in which the conqueror will be the most
cruel and relentless slave driver
The doctrine of protection is lie.
The word Is misnomer and a mask
for the use of public power for private
gain. 1t is the growth of the lobby, the
host of bribery and the assassin of free
government
The future under the logic of protec-
tion is dark. Admit with the protection
list that a pauper is a better producer
than freeman and you set the seal of
doom upon civilization. The protective
doctrine is not true. The frailties of
humanity together with concentrating
population and accommodating wealth
have rendered representative govern
ment less satisfactory than 1t has been.
A Democratic senate. some of whose
members under the pressure of tempta-
tion of place or gain betrayed Demo-
cratic principles shows us the difficult
ties and dangers of representative gov
ernment. The remedy is an appeal to
the body of the people. The method for
this is direct legislation. The initiative,
referendum and imperative mandate of
the Populist party is the hope of the
republic.

Tariff and Trusts Hand in Hand

The tariff built up the trusts and the
trusts are building up the tariff. Look
AT the genesis of the trusts. They con-
trolled nominations, corrupted state
legislatures and log rolled in congress to
get the tariff higher. AS result of the
exorbitant prices thus exacted from the
American people the barons amassed
millions, until the artificial condition
created brought into existence an excess
of industrial plant. Then ensued the
destructive competition which led the
manufacturers to combine-as they
claim in self-defense-into the trusts
and put an end to competition. Excess
sive tariffs destroyed foreign competl-
ton, and the resulting trusts have de-
stroyed domestic competition, and there
you are.-New York Herald.

II the directors will order that no fic-

it will be found that many books which

time of publication have not survived
the period of probation we suggest.
The adoption of this plan would ma
terially reduce expenses, and while 1t
would also reduce the circulation figures
these might, to some extent. be made up
by the extra attention that would be
given to those readers who desire to use
the library for purposes of study. In

A FIESTA EXCURSION PROPOSED

The city council yesterday formally
indorsed the proposed excursion to San
Francisco on the occasion of the Golden
Gate carnival, and the president was
authorized to appoint three members Of
the council to represent that body Mr..
Max Meyberg addressed the council in
favor of the proposition. 1t was pro-
posed. he said, to take two of the best
of the Fiesta floats to represent Los
Angeles in the parade, and the gentle
men having the matter in charge de-
sired to make as favorable showing rs
possible. 1t Is to be hoped that citizens
generally will interest themselves in this
matter, and as many as can do so should
attend the San Francisco carnival. Oul
up country neighbor has always heart
ily supported the Los Angeles Fiesta,
sending down large delegations, while
the press has been uniformly courteous
and has given every facility for prop
erly advertising these events. This
occasion presents the opportunity Tor

Little Patronage in Sight

The pie is being distributed far too
slowly to suit the ravenous appetites
of the Republicans. The number of men
willing to sacrifice their private inter-
ests in order to serve their country is
appalling. Unfortunately most of this
patriotism must go to waste. President
Mckinley undoubtedly sympathizes
with the hungry patriots. He has known
what it means to be patriot out of a
job. But just now he can only dole out
the provender in small bits, which in
creases rather than allays the conten-

From the bids for the Mateo-street
electric franchise opened in the city
council yesterday it would seem that
capitalists have faith in the future of
Los Angeles. A bonus of over five thou
sand dollars offered for the privilege Of
constructing a much needed line of street
railway is an encouraging sign, and
the receipts from the future sale of
franchises should add very materially
to the revenues of the city. This being
the case, 1t is difficult to understand why
the council should have practically re-
fused the franchise asked for by the
Home Telephone company, thereby
keeping several thousand dollars out
of the city treasury, to say nothing of
the many thousands that would be saved
to the people by lower telephone rates.
All new enterprises should be encour-
aged, rather than to have obstacles
thrown in their way. Besides, the coun-
Gil should be consistent, and unless
some good reason can be shown, which
is not now apparent to the average
citizen, the telephone people should re-
ceive proper treatment

BRorHERLY LOVE IN CRETE

In those primitive days of the Chris
tian church, when the spirit OF the Mas
ter was still powerful in the hearts of
the disciples, the heather marking their
devotion to each other were constrained
to exclaim in admiration. How those
Christians love one another!" Probably
that was not the sentiment which rose
uppermost in the minds of the Moslems
the other day when they saw English
and Italian ships hitching anchor chains
to Greek villages and hauling the houses
of the wretched people into the sea.
Neither did the exclamation rise spon-
taneously to any lips as they beheld the
Cretans whom the allied powers en-
ticed from their strongholds into the
plain where the scimitar of the Bashi-
Bazouk soon fell where it did most harm.
But then there is no love lost. If the
modern Christian fails in affection for
his brother sometimes. his love OF his
own pocketbook is always lively.
