THE WAY OF IT

If you are in any line of business that
could be made more profitable by pro-
lection from competition, you had better
go to Washington and get hearing"
before Dingley's tariff committee. The
idea of the committee is to give every
man who is manufacturing any kind
of a merchantable article an opportun-
ity to rake in whole lot of money which
mate and ordinary way of accommodating
wealth, and it behooves every patriot
who wants money that he does not earn
and has no moral right to possess him
self of to make haste and name the COM
petitor whom he wants the life crushed
out of by high tariff act.
In this connection it is proper to say
that consumers of manufactured articles
and of other kinds of products, which
they have to buy or quit living. are not
invited to so before the committee for
a hearing" The committee was not
appointed to devise ways and means t.
reduce the cost of living to the millions
of wage-earners. but to ascertain the
utmost of their ability to pay for those
things which nature requires them to
consume as a condition of existence IN
physical bodies. Dingley's committee
assumes that consumers of articles of
commerce are the legitimate prey Of
those who produce or manufacture the
articles of consumption, and that it is
it's business to make the goose that lays
golden eggs for them lay more eggs.
There is scarcely an industry in the
United States that is not selling its pro-
duct in foreign markets at lower prices
than is charged the consumer of this
country. American made carpets, cuffs
and collars, boots and shoes, every arti-
Gle that is made of iron or steel. every
kind of an agricultural implement, and
a thousand and one other things can be
purchased in the markets of Europe
cheaper than they can be had at the
mills and factories in which they arc
manufactured, but prices to home CON
sumers are not high enough to suit the
Industrial plutocrats, and they demand
greater protection against competition.
It is to be hoped the consumers of man
ufactured goods and wares in this cour
try will come to understand sometime

LOS ANGELES THEATER-There
was a good-sized audience at this thea
ter last night to see Palmer Cox's
Brownies, surrounded by the garish
glamor of a scenic extravaganza. The
adolescent American mind has become
thoroughly acquainted with the Brown
les or the wee folk" as they are called
across the water, where they first had
their habitat. through the medium of
the facile pencil of Alr. Cox. His happy
Inspirations have become cherished iilu-
sions among the children of this day and
generation.
The purpose of presenting the Brown
les with spectacular environments of
an eXtrdVa5duz.t seems TO be to fasten
the spell tndt cLchains the fancy of
childhood on the children of a larger
growth. Comparatively few extrava-
saGzas or burlesQues have stood the
test OF time on the stage. an deVen the
clever work Of Brougham has passed be-
hind the oDscuring veil OF Yesterday in
this matter of fact age. The eXtrava-
ganzas that have fitted alike young and
old, that are opposite in their appealing
powers through successive generations
are indeed few in number. There is
Sround work in CoXs conception of the
Brownie people for much better eX-
tIaV4eaLZa than the present medium
employed for their eXploitation-there
IS opportunity d ID occasion for the de-
Ve!opnert OF that delicate skein i'm
agely which makes fairyland possible to
the minds Of children, and for the nonce
probable TO the minds Of their elders
/ is the subtle touch OF smooth plausi-
bIlity-the something spr.tuelie that
sOltens the incongruities of dream into
seeminSness. This is what the extraVa-
gauza of the Brownies lacks, and it is
this element that gives permanency and
success to all e&travaganZas that have
lived. True 1t is that gorgeous scenic ef-
fects, fresh and glittering with all
the tropical glow of the stage limner's
art, tuat dazzling costumes and troops
of bright, beautiful girls make amends
for much notwithstanding, but We are SO
ar from Gotham, and railroads are
rough ON scenery, and fares are high,
ard We must take what comes, and
while looking askant at Olympus,
llbatiors to the gods therefor.
The light thread of story that holds
the Brownies IN companionship brings
into action many mythical characters
who rub elbows with people of today in
a brusque manner. Perhaps the most
strinHg scenic effect was the flying
ballet in the third act. The airily clad
f3iiies swung like butterflies athwart
tGe stage in a lu;Iuriancc of brilliant
cUiOrlnG from the multi-hued, flashing
Caic!ums, keeping rhythm with soft.
scnsuous music. Speaking OF music,
suggests that one of tie most comical
elements in the production was Frank
Desnon's lettle German bard 1t was
IrreSistibly funny and true to nature.
All Of CoXs typical Brownies figure in
the stage story and will be readily rec
oSnized by the children. The mandolin
playing of Waffle and Newhouse was
especially noteworthy.

HIS NAME is PERKINS

Although it is Republican affair, and
bad enough in any event. there is oc-
casion for rejoicing at Senator Perkins
triumph over the sugar trust-Southern
Pacific combine with the Sam Short
ridsa annex. If California is to be
afflicted with Republican United States
senator, it is better to have man than
a boy to represent the state. Senator
Perkins is a good enough man in a way,
and the fact that he is not hired man
of the trusts and monopoNes takes away
good deal Of the humiliation of having
his party represented in the upper house
of congress. For crushing the elongated
San Francisco lawyer. let thanks BE-
given to the men who Gid it.
But what this state needs very much
IS a solid Democratic delegation in
congress. California needs TO grow ard
expand. and the commerce of the state
is very much in need Of merchant ma
rine, but nothing good can or will come
to the commonwealth until Democratic
principles prevail in every department
The herald., 1897-01-06

of the states government, and every
congressman and both senators are
wrapped IN the robe of political right
eousness, or Jeffersonian Democracy,
which is the same thing. The governor
is all right, but he is handicapped by
Gomograh Of legislatures body of
men controlled by Republican theories
and practices-an'd naturally about all
he can do is to point out the right way,
But as between two evils Perkins
and Shortridge, why every man In the
state, except Sam and "My Brother
Charles would shout for Perkins. The
only thing to be regretted about it is,
however, that Sam has not enough of
q following to kick up big row in the
Republican party and split it wide open
But no such good luck will come of his
defeat, and hence all good Democrats
will continue to pound away at every
thing that looks, smells or tastes like
Republicanism until full and complete
victory crowns their loyalty to party
and principle.

THE GEORGIAN VISITORS
Public Reception at the Chamber of
Commerce This Afternoon

The Governor Atkinson party which
arrived in the city Monday evening spent
yesterday visiting local points of inter
est. Mr.. and Mrs. Gov. Atkinson and
Mr.. and Mrs Atkinson spent the day at
Pasadena. They drove over the mag
nificent avenues Of that city and went
into ecstacies at the beauty of the seen
cry
Capt. o. J. Brown, Mr.. and Mrs CAL
laway spent the day at Santa Monica
and We're highly pleased with the result
Of their trip to the seashore. Dr. and
Mrs. Holmes passed a pleasant day in
this city i'll company with d number OF
old Georgia friends.
On returning to their car the party
found number of Georgia people await
ing to greet them. A beautiful collec-
tion of flowers had been sent to them by
the chamber of commerce directors dur
ing their absence.
Tomorrow morning 1t Is the intention
of the governor to visit Mt. Lowe re-
turning in time to meet the delegation
of Georgians, who have arranged to
show the party of distinguished visitors
the lions and the beauties of Los Ange-
les. They will be driven around the
city at o'clock this afternoon and after
their return will be rendered a public
reception at the chamber at 4:3O.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE

Governor Budd's message to the legis-
Iature is A very long document, filling
pamphlet of 100 pages. but it is interest
ing and Instructive and should be care
fully read by every taxpayer in the state
The burden of the message is demand
for frugal but not parsimonious eXpend-
iture of money for public Improvements
and in conducting the affairs of the COM
monvealth. The governor is painstak-
ing in presenting the condition OF the
state in detail, but he is not more SO than
he should be, for the people want to
know all about everything concerning
the condition of every public interest
and concern.
The governor reveals a good deal In
the MANAGEMENT of some of the public
institutions which will surprise very
many, and he points out clearly and IN
the most convincing way the necessity
for radical reforms in their conduct
The management of the states finances,
the governor says, is attended by alto
gether too much extravaganza, ana ne
calls upon the legislature to provide for
a more thorough and economical meth
cd of taking care OF the financial inter-
ests of the commonwealth. Each and
every public institution is held up that
every one may understand its workings.
and reforms are suggested wherever the
management is loose or careless.
The governor is very emphatic in his
denunciation of the scheme of the Pa
cific railways to refund their obligations
to the government in a way that would
practically secure to them a donation
of s12O, 600. 900 from the people. But the
message throughout has the ring of hon.
esty of purpose and deter tmnation on
the part of the governor to guard the
peoples rights and interests at every
point and no doubt the people will ap-
preciate his efforts by giving him their
moral support in his endeavor TO serve
them in a way that shall make the state
stronger and better every way.

The Sioux City Journal, the leading
Republican newspaper in Iowa, and
owned and edited by Congressman
George d. Perkins. says:
I'VE have been going through a pc
riod of far-reaching liquidation. Dur
ing the last three or four years business
adjustments which had been in process
of development for years and even for
decades were wound up-destroyed.
There have been a good many failures,
but In all cases. as in that of the recent
bank failure in Chicago, you will find
vicious condition OF credit In every one
of them there is unsoundness, and the
tap root of 1t is vicious credit"
OF course Mr.. Perkins did not talk this
way during the campaign. He was a
partisan politician then, and charged
all the business Ills of the country to
tariff act, but he is honest enough now,
as editor of his newspaper, to tell the
truth, only that he should have said
the "far-reaching liquidations" which he
refers to were made necessary by the
Morrill, tariff of 1862 There has been
necessity for liqui6ations a good many
times since the beginning Of the first Re-
publican administration. but the tariff
act of 1890 was the more far-reaching
tariff act
1t is comforting TO see ore Republican
leader honest enough TO say that the
commercial and financial distresses of
the last three or four years cannot be
attributed to any legislation or policy
of the Democratic party, Right at the
beginning of the first control of the gov
ernment the Republican party inaug-
urated a reckless system Of conducting
the people upon lines of the greatest ex-
travagance which they adopted for the
conduct of their own business. But
what was still worse, under the policy
of the Republican party opportunity was
given a few to grow enormously rich at
the expense of the many, which created
a spirit of rivalry in business circles
that eliminated from time TO time in
great business disasters, and the people
suffered greatly. The hard times the
last few years came from the same cause
which brought panics upon the country
in former periods. and Mir. Perkins is
right when he says the country has
been going through a season of far
reaching Hquidation. 1t reaches back
to the Morrill, tariff law of 1852, and so
long as the whole nation is put at the
feet of few for their use and accommo-
dation there will continue to be periods
of business distress.

FIRE IN A SALOON.
Discovered in Time and Extinguished
Before Much Damage Was Done.

Shortly after II o'clock last evening an
alarm of fire was rung in from box G..

there no tariff The wool and woolen
goods schedule Of the tariff bill which
Dingley's committee is working upon
will increase the annual cost Of woolen
clothing and woolen fabrics to the peo-
pie of the United States about $50, 000, 900.
and every dollar of it will go into the
pockets of those controlling the wool
industry and who do not represent 2 per
cent of the population. The sugar sched-
ule as now proposed will not only place
duty upon sugar, but will tax the peo-
pie enough to give those who are so for
tunate as to own sugar land" bonus
of two cents pound. The plan is to in
sure profits to sugar beet and cane farm
ers and let grain farmers get along the
best they can. But what is true of wool
and sugar is true of every other article
of consumption which the great wage
class have to buy.

foot tank gauges, such as are placed on
the out side of watre or oil tanks to
indicate the amount of liquid contents.
The stuff was dumped in the hallway of
