"a Theosophist Scandal"

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Her
aid: notice dispatch in your issue Of
today, headed, "a Theosophist Scan
dal," calculated to give wrong impress
sion to many of your readers and do an
injustice to large and progressive move
ment.
Mr.. Henry e. Foulke referred to is not
member of the Theosophical society,
nor has he been during the last six years.
He belongs to class Of adventures
who, like parasites, try to fasten on a
body to exploit it for their own schemes
and benefit. He soon found that the
Theosophical society was not good
field for private aggrandizement and left
it soon after joining.
Mr.. Foulke has tried for notoriety by
many foolish schemes, one of which was
some silly nonsense in press dispatch
last spring.
He, like many of his class, finds the
assumed name of "Theosophist" gives
him publicity, hence uses the name of a
society whose only object is to bring
about " the formation Of nucleus of
universal brotherhood among men,"

The Lesson of the Election

1t is not necessary to go into details
to discover the meaning of the results
in the several states. One feature is
conspicuous through all of them, a loss
more or less heavy to the administration
party. Results in Kentucky and Mary
land indicate that those states will pass
back to the Democratic column, and
that New York is likely to follow the
same destination.
In Ohio, the presidents own state,
herculean efforts were made to secure
an emphatic endorsement of the admin
| istration. The whole power of the gen.
eral government was brought to bear
for that purpose Besides endorsement
of the administration, it was deemed
| of vital Importance to prevent loss of
prestige to Hanna, the Mckinley War
wick and the official head of the Repub-
| lican party in the nation. The result in
that state is extremely damaging to
both Mckinley and Hanna, and both
| would have been overwhelmed as effec-
lively as was Pharoah in the Red sea
| if the opposition had been united. Since
Hanna is essential to the trusts, there
was no lack of money and it was poured
out to an extent without parallel except
in the last presidential.year
Another feature plainly manifested
was hostility to bossism. 1t seemed,
however, to have had little effect in
d., Il.
That state is sui generis; the masses
have been in leading strings so long
that it is difficult to break into their
serried Republican ranks, and there is
as yet no man of ability in the state who
is devoted to the cause of reform and
progress. A high protective tariff is a
money making policy for their indus
tries, and it has been habit of the peo-
pie of that state to subordinate every
thing else to it, Bossism got rap in
Ohio Notwithstanding the tremendous
pressure brought to bear in support of it.
In New York city the same spirit was
manifested by the immense independent
vote, the result proves that the people
of that city prefer Tammany to Platt.
The failure of Platt is as significant as
it is crushing. 1t is a pointed rebuke
both to the individual and to the admin
istration. Mckinley gave Platt entire
control of the federal patronage and the
outside administration forces put in
their best work to secure the triumph
of Plattism.
Thurston, an Ajax of trusts and mo-
| nopoly, has wisely concluded to with
draw from further senatorial service
after his present term expires. He
probably saw how small his prospects
were for future preferment in Nebraska.
In that state the elements of opposition
to the administration were better unitad
than anywhere else. Time and conci,i-
atory work will make such union 81

CALIFORNIA OPINION
A Mass Meeting Suggested

There is a question in our minds as to
whether it would not under the present
condition Of affairs and apparent atti-
tude of Secretary Alger be wise for the
citizens Of Southern California to call
a grand mass convention at Los Angeles
in order to discuss plans Of operation
relative to work on the breakwater and
harbor at San Pedro and to present to
President Mckinley a memorial as the
outgrowth of such convention. The ad-
ministration is today on trial in South
ern California. Secretary Alger does
not alone receive the censure for the
hardness, and for the misleading state
ments made from time to time in the
daily papers. If the matter must again
come up before congress for the appro-
priation Of funds, will the consideration
end there? Will the matter be regarded
as quieted as to location? These ques-
tions should now be thought over care
fully. If the matter is to be reopened
there is no telling as to how long it may
be before activities will commence

WHAT IS THE DEAD ISSUE ?

over two months ago The Herald
prophesied that the Ohio election would
result substantially as the reports of
yesterday and today show the case to
be- Conceding that the state is natur-
ally Republican, that it is the home of
the president as well as of the maker
of the president, Mr.. Hanna, and that
therefore the Ohio election ought to go
Republican, if the claims of that party
were founded on any element of sub
stantial fact, still the verdict of the peo-
pie would be against the advance agent
of prosperity and against his astute po-
litical manager for the good reason that
the party claims were not we'll founded
and that the people are beginning to
see through the pretenses of the Re-
publican party.
Had the Republican party done for
the country what it promised to do;
had the great wave of prosperity inun-
dated the land as was foretold, Ohio
would have reelected Governor Bush
Hanna's place in the senate would not
have been in jeopardy.
1t looked as if the stars in their
courses were on the side of the great
the prices at which it has been selling
are factors of the greatest potency, all
working for the party which promised
prosperity. But the people see that it
is not the administration which is do
ing this. They know that Mr.. Hanna
has had no more to do with this than
Caesars ghost at Philippi.
Business is better in most sections of
the country, but the people see that the
improvement is natural, not artificial.
They understand that the Dingley act
has no more to do with it than the laws
of Solon.
Senator Wolcott has returned from
Europe with his finger in his mouth and
d flea in his ear, put there by the money
changers of Threadneedle street. He
returns with program in mis- pocket
which cannot be put in practice. The
cause for which he went is a failure; it
is lost cause-lost forever on the plans
outlined by Mr.. Mckinley, his Boss
Hanna and their International allies.
The allies have gone over to the other
side, and Mr.. Wolcott comes here to tell
us what we told him before he went that
the only hope for silver is the Demo-
cratic plan of America for Americans,
and to leave the English Ephraims to
their golden idols.

Clews on Business Prospects

Henry Clews, in his financial circular,
issued from New York 30th ult., dis
courses, inter ALA, as follows:
1.-THE condition of the market is ma
tural result of the happenings of the
last three weeks. The great realizings
of influential operators have produced
a tmid feeling, which, in spite of the
conviction that the prices of stocks are
intrinsically moderate, causes hesita-
tion and the postponement of buying
Many operators are discouraged and
enfeebled at the loss of their profits;
and, beyond the continuance of the re-
covery of business and the increase of
railroad earnings, there are no new ele-
ments to revive "bull'' enthusiasm.
Moreover, there have been causes for
the deferment of operations, which have
appealed to the bulls great and small,
perhaps especially to the former. The
election has been a diversive element,
and some people have been led to think
that it's results may have an effect upon
confidence in financial interests.
Conditions appear to be drifting
gradually towards further recovery.
though the movement may be gradual
and attended with considerable irreg-
ularity in prices. The sentimental in
fuences we have noted as having held
the market in timid suspense for the last
three weeks are becoming stale and
losing their effect. The result Of the
election. whichever way it may go, is not
expected to produce anything more than
a slight temporary furry. The misgiv-
ings in respect to the opening of con-
gress are so intangible or IMAGINARY
that no one cares to mention them as a
serious factor affecting securities; and
the feeling resolves itself into one of
curiosity rather than anxiety. The vel
low fever Is now a measured quantity
affecting few railroads, but of no gem
eral Importance. and verging towards
extinction by the approach of the period
of frost. The great financial settlement
connected with the Union Pacific rail-
road, which has been looked to as pos-
sibly involving sharp disturbance in
the money market, it is now found will
be disposed of without any such incon.
venience, and the final net increase of
cash in the treasury will not exceed

case has been postponed, 1t Is supposed

Not ! Marplot


To the Editor Of the Los Angeles
Herald: In this mornings Times there
was an editorial calling Seth Low a
marplot in the politics of Greater New
York. and making him responsible for
the defeat Of Tracy. In no sense was Mr..
Low marplot. Instead Of his asking
or striving for the candidacy Of mayor Of
Greater New York. his fellow citizens
came to him with a petition Of more than
125.000 names, asking him to become Q
candidate for Greater New York, that
they might by his election be freed from,
Crokerism and Plattism. Mr.. Low is
censured for not taking himself out Of
the way in favor Of Tracy. The evils
Of Tammany are great. but they would
be equally great under the rule Of
Boss Platt. Mr.. Low is acknowledged
by all as q clean and able man. Even
Tracy. Platt's tool, at the hearing on
Greater New York charter before Gov.
Black, April 10, 1897, said this Of him:
Seth Low is the greatest authority on
the administration of municipal affairs
in the United States" Then why did
not Platt endorse him? Simply because
he knew there would be no Doodle in It.
An article on ''The Doom Of Boss Platt." "
in the Chicago Times Herald, President
McKinley's organ in the campaign, ed
tied by H. H. Kohlsaat. his intimate
friend. which appeared q few days ago,
shows what all fair minded men think
of Platt. 1t is as follows:
Whatever may be the outcome of the
mayoralty contest in New York. the
political dethronement Of Senator Platt
is inevitable. His imperious dictator
ship Of party affairs in the Republican
party of the Empire state is at an end.
The people Of New York have deter
mined to smash Plattism. The Repub-
lican party in New York is a great or
ganization and Is dedicated to great
economic principles. 1t is too great to
longer submit to the domination of one
man.
The Citizens movement megnani-
mously offered Mr.. Platt the opportuni-
ty of his life. 1t was an opportunity
that comes to but few political bosses.
1t was his opportunity to win the ad-
miration and respect not only of the
solid and substantial citizenship of
New York, but the esteem and COM
mendation of the best people all. over
the land. who have been watching the
new 1Ork struggle With undDateu III
terest. He could have placed himself
upon pinnacle Of popular acclaim by
gracefully bowling to the popular will
and throwing his organization to the
support of Seth Low, the nominee Of
the Citizens Union. Republican of
eminent attainments, broad-minded.
capable and clean. who is fitted by ma
ture, training and experience for ad-
ministering the great responsibilities n
cident to the organization of the second
largest municipal corporation in the
world.
Mr.. Platt contemptuously cast aside
his great opportunity. He not only dis
regarded the popular will. but has i'm
ported orators of national fame from
far and near to help deliver New York
to the control of Tammany Hall.
Unless the people of New York are
lost to all sense of decency and honor,
it means the unconditional retirement
of Mr.. Platt as party boss or the per-
manent disruption of the Republican
party in New York.

BEGINNING zAR1Y

The Herald presented yesterday morn
ing some interesting figures showing
that the tide OF travel had already set
in toward Southern California. and af-
fording a legitimate basis for very ia
vorable predictions concerning the
amount and character of the tourist
business this winter.
The figures show that between 5000
and 5000 persons arrived in this city
during October over the Santa Fe and
/ Southern Pacific lines, including the
various excursions from the east under
the auspices of other roads. A consid-
cradle proportion of these arrivals were
probably Californians returning home,
but it is safe to say that at least between
three and four thousand people came to
Los Angeles last month with the inten-
ton of spending the winter here or Of
remaining permanently. Not all Of this
number, of course, remained in this city.
Many are scattered over Southern Cali
fornia; but they are ''all in the family" :"
If the season has begun so well in the
comparatively warm month of October.
what may we not. expect from the late
fall and the real winter months? The
passenger agent who predicted that
more people would come to Southern
California this winter than at any time
since 1885 cannot be very far wrong.
A large number of our visitors will
decide to stay here. The majority of
these will be people who either have
money or can earn money. Both are
very desirable as permanent residents.
1t is worth something to be able to live
in the finest climate on earth and more
economically than one can live in most
of the unhealthy, disagreeable eastern
cities.
There is room for all. The person who
wishes to support himself by horticul-
ture does not have to buy bonanza
farm in order to do it. Here ten good
acres is enough for any man. There are
no communities better than the ten
acre horticultural communities of
Southern California.
Los Angeles has a future as a manu-
featuring city. This part of the state
is rapidly getting the population neces-
sary to support a manufacturing city.
The fuel problem, the greatest obstacle
in the way, will soon be eliminated by
the use of petroleum and by the trans
mission of cheaply secured electric
power from long distances. The San
Pedro harbor and the Salt Lake road
both are surely coming sometime-will
greatly stimulate our industrial prog
ress. The people who come to Southern
California to live and work will not have
to depend upon the climate alone to keep
them alive.
A very large number of the people
who come here for one or more winters
on account of their health and are bene-
fitted or entirely restored, have no wish to
leave the country that has been SO good
to them. The longer they stay the bet
ter they like it. The transient visitors,
who come for a few weeks or for the
winter, will find that Southern Califor-
mia improves with the passing years.
They will be helped and they will enjoy
themselves.

The Santa Monica Outlook lifts up its
voice for the organization of a chamber
of commerce in that city, just as guar

its city does not die with the close of the

innovation by suggesting that member
ship in the chamber be limited to men
under fifty years Of age. honorary men,
berships to be given to men over the
limit. Young men for action, old men
for counsel, is the idea involved.

The Santa Rosa Democrat makes the
following correct and interesting state
ment:
There is something about the pros
perity of the farmer that differs from
that of nearly every other class. No
body ever finds fault with it. While the
manufacturer, the middleman and the
capitalist often come in for picturesque
abuse on account of the large slice
Of prosperity they are supposed to have
obtained, there is nobody heard regret
ting the good fortune of the agricul-
turist.
. One reason for this is that the prosper
ity of the whole country depends, to a
very large degree. upon the prosperity
Of the farmer.
