ted, threehalf-pence a pound Not satis-
fed with making us a present OF penny
in the pound on sugar. the rivalry for our
trade between France and Germany has
recently resulted in a further increase In
the bounties on export equal to another
half-penny; so unless our wholesale mid

The article illustrates very nicely
where the consumer comes in. The free
trade British consumer gets his sugar
for cents per pound, while the French
and German consumers pay cents for
theirs, besides taxing themselves to pay
rebates on exports. This policy enables
the manufacturers to tighten the cinch

The CITY Census

To the Editor of the Los Angeles
Herald: Please allow me to state in your
paper that several of the other papers
of this city have made very Incorrect
and misleading statements concerning
an order or alleged order to stop the en-
rolment OF names for the city census at
something less than 100000. That some
city officials have been anxious to see
the total population of the city put at
less than 100, 900 is certain, and that some
one has shown undue anxiety in the
matter is equally certain. but do no'
wish to be quoted as stating that Presi-
dent Silver ordered the counting stopped.
Such a rumor was abroad, and merely
discussed it with others as a rumor. l
even took the trouble to go to the post
office to ask General Mathews the truth
of the matter which truth did not impli-
cate President Silver.
ask you to publish this In The Herald
because The Herald of today is lhe only
paper that has a true account Of the case
so far.
The census will be an honest one, 1t
will be as nearly complete as it can be
made, and it will show that the holy
city has over 1000 people.

THE WoMAN'S CONGRESS

1t is relief from the dreary monot-
ony of political recrimination in public
gatherings to find that it is still posi-
BILE to record the fact of the meeting of
representative convention of promi-
nent citizens that is not Influenced in
its deliberations by the dreams of Of
fetal patronage or the promises of Of
fetal place. Such a gathering Is the
woman's congress now holding its ses-
sion in San Francisco.
1t is only a month ago that the leg
islature of California decided by its vote
to still withhold from the moiety of our
citizen population represented in this
congress the privilege of having the
question of its electoral eligibility sub
mitted to the popular vote. This re-
fusal was based upon the assumed un
fitness of this aspiring element to han
die political questions.
Well, the women are avenging them
selves and their cause with a most
subtitle severity. They are terribly in
which the average legislator is as pro-
foundly ignorant as he is of the litera-
ture of the Hyperboreans or the arts
and sciences of Atlantis. Without OBJ
trusively calling attention to the fact
in terms, the woman's congress is build
ing a mountain of contrast between the
aims and objects of a deliberative body
laboring gratuitously in the cause of
humanity upon the one hand, and a
legislative body working for pelf, in
the cause of jobs or of plunder, colored
by a little crude legislation, on the
other. Fancy the average legislators
of this or of any other of the states intel
ligently discussing the question Of in
dustrial art in education, or poetry, the
the esthetic element in education, or
technical schools, There are, doubtless,
some few scholarly men In every legis-
lature, but the vast majority of the
members would present a sorry specta-
Gle if required to address the womans S
congress upon either of these topics.
On the other hand it is quite probable
that nine out of every ten members of
this disfranchised convention could in
struct a class in either of the subjects
discussed
The women are slow in compelling the
recognition that many advanced think
ers believe they are entitled to receive,
but while the movement is slow it is
nevertheless steadily accumulating
momentum of popular good will that
is laden with the promise of ultimate
success.
The herald., 1897-04-30
BY POPULAR VOTE

The election of senators by popular
vote has of late been considerably dis
cussed, and political conventions in sew
eral instances have declared in it's fa-
vor. 1t is proper and wise that the argu-
ments for this method should constantly
be kept before the country.
The existing mode Is Objectionable be-
cause it is not democratic, and this rea-
son for making the change ought to be
sufficient. So long as our government is
popular in form, the people should be
trusted to the fullest extent. The
masses cannot be corrupted as easily as
legislatures, and grievous experience
has proved that corruption of legisla-
lures in senatorial elections has been
frequent and sometimes shameless.
In early days men were chosen sena-
tors for their abilities and virtues, re-
gardless of their wealth. Latterly, how
ever, it has not been infrequent that men
have been chosen who were rich and
who possessed little merit on the score
of talent or virtue.
The practice that has prevailed for
some time has made senators the chiefs
of party machines whenever the ad-
ministration and the senators have been
in political accord. In such case the SEN
ator or senators assume the right to die
tate appointments, even those to inferior
offices, and they are governed by the
members of the legislature who voted
for them. Thus machine is construct
ed, the substratum being the members
of the legislature and the apex being the
United States senator The members
Of the legislature often demand that Of
fees shall be given to their sons, if they
have any, and if not to some other rela-
| tive, or to some political henchman.
| Having received their votes, the senator
in congress recommends as requested, in
The herald., 1897-04-30

order to recompense the votes he has
received. In this way the people are moi
consulted as to their wishes. and Offices
are disposed of without very much re-
gard to fitness.
There is a further resultant evil. an6
1t is that a president has it in his power
| to influence II not coerce senators to dc
his bidding If reports are true, tho
cudgel is being held over senators at the
present time to coerce support of tariff
bill which reflects the ideas of the White
House. In this way legislation is pro-
cured by a sort of bribe paid at the pres
idential mansion. If frequent state
ments are true, Senator Perkins Is urg-
ing appointments that will suit state
senators and representatives. and is ig-
noring the popular wishes altogether.
To bribe members of the legislature
with money is statutory crime, but tc
promise support for appointments. either
in express language or by a nod or a
wink, has not yet been declared to be an
offense punishable by imprisonment in
the penitentiary While the law seems
to make a distinction, 1t is not easy to
perceive the difference in ethics. Sen
ators press appointments, and IL not
made according to their demands they
have been known to threaten defeat OF
combinations and action adverse to the
wishes of the executive. The people
have been ignored in order that senators
may discharge their obligations entered
into with those legislators who voted
for them.
Charles Sumner refused to recommend
a. man to an office whose name had to
come before the senate for confirmation,
on the ground that he should be unoom-
mitted and impartial in acting on nom
nations. Not a few have perpetuated
themselves in senatorial seats by secur-
ing federal appointments for those who
would labor for their reelection. This
vicious practice is source from which
has sprung much Of the impurity of our
politics.
The correction of such abuses lies in
electing senators by direct vote of the
people. 1t will tend to break down a
most formidable political machine and
send senatorial bosses to the rear.
