The control OF ,he Senate.

main so for a number OF years to come
Evening Journal
The Senate as at present constituted
consists of IS Republicans and 6 Demo-
Gratis; Republican majority, Is.
This year six members go out, 5 Re-
publicans and / Democrat. The Demo-
Gratis will elect 4 senators-in Hunter

Next year Senators will be chosen in

going Senators will be Republicans ex-
cept Senator DAILY. In the election, the
Democracy will no doubt carry Bergen,
Hudson and Morris. with a bare chance
OF one more. This will make the Senate
of 1899 stand about 10 Republicans to s
Democrats.
In 1889 Senators will be elected in Cam
den, Essex. Gloucester, Monmouth,
Salem, Somerset, Union and Warren. The
Democracy will no doubt carry five of
these, thus gaining complete control of
the Senate.
The slowness of this operation is an
impressive lesson to politicians to hold
on to a good thing when they have 1t
and not forfeit it by reckless disregard
of public opinion.

THE WORK SHOULD GO ON

The verdict of the largely attended
excursion to Elysian park yesterday to
inspect the new boulevard was unani-
nous that the work had been well
planned and we'll executed up to date,
and that the money had been excellent
ly spent The hope was expressed on
all sides that this was but the beginning
of several similar undertakings, and
after yesterdays universal expression
Of satisfaction, there is little doubt that
the necessary funds will be forthcom-
ing at least to complete the work al
ready undertaken in the park.
If ever an undertaking was twice
blessed this of aiding the unemployed
belongs in that category; it has blessed
the giver as we'll as the receiver. Be-
fore we fully realize what is under way
we shall have an available boulevard
and a park that any citizen may feel
proud or ana delight to show to visit
or. The accomplishment of this. while
aiding at the same time many worthy
citizens, is a great stroke of enterprise.
Too much credit cannot be given to
the Merchants and Manufacturers as
sociation, to Judge Silent, Engineer
Eaton, and those who have given direc-
tion and force to the movement and have
supervised the work. And the generous
public who have furnished the sinews
of war have every reason to be graft
fed with the investment. By all means
let the good work go on. Los Angeles
can double the subscription If need be.

THE RAILROADS AND LA FIESTA

Los Angeles is naturally proud of her
public spirit and enterprise. The people
of this handsome city have raised $4,000
for the unemployed. They have sub
scribed about as much for La Fiesta
They are now raising a similar fund for
a boulevard between this city and Pas
adena. These are not flush times, and
SIS, 900 is a large sum of money to con-
tribute for purposes the benefit of which
is indirect SO far as most Of us are con-
cerned.
This spirit of lberality engenders
contrary spirit Of some intolerance to-
ward those who fail to do their JUS.
share in these public enterprises SUCH
a spirit is being developed just now be-
cause of a failure on the part of the rail-
road companies to deal with La Fiesta
in as liberal a way as they have done
heretofore. In former Fiesta seasons
these corporations have not only made
pretty handsome contributions toward
the general fund, but they have also
aided the good cause by carrying the
militia to the city free of charge The
presence of the citizen soldier in the pro-
cession, with his uniform and brass
band, is a feature which attracts many
people.
/ Here is where the shoe now pinches
so sorely that the liberal-minded citizen
of Los Angeles is disposed to lift up his
voice because the militia is likely to turn
up missing. The roads refuse transpor-
tation for our soldier boys.
To be sure the roads have made their
contributions with the rest of us. But
they and the hotels and saloons are
about the only people who derive any di
rect benefit from our gala week. 1t is
quite safe to say that while the mer-
chant or bank which has made contri
buttons will not get cent back directly
the railroads stand to get their money
back ten or twenty times over during the
| Fiesta week. This being so, the peopl,
feel as if the more liberal spirit ought t.
be maintained by the roads and as Il

ately swallows six of the seeds and Is

the renewal of life in the world Of nature
and perhaps contains more occult

the occult meaning of ancient fables or

they might do at least the same service
as heretofore. This year is not pros
porous one in business The railroads
suffer much less than other interests.
There are many business houses whose
members have made liberal contribu-
tions to our festival in spite Of the fact
that they have not made any profits dur
ing most of the past year.
There is no time to be lost In this mat
ter. The Fiesta will open next Tues
day. But while there is no time to spare
there is plenty Of time for our friends
in the railroad companies to recede from
a bad policy. Get In line with the rest of
the people in their liberality Of spirit
and help out this festival in whose sue
cess all our hearts are wrapped up.
A section which has given the railroad
1000 carloads of oranges to haul and paid
approximately 100000 for the service
should not be treated In anything that
looks like an illiberal spirit.

THE WAR AND ITS ISSUE

Turkey has practically declared war
upon Greece, even as Greece, by the ac-
ton of her irregulars. had virtually de.
clared war upon Turkey. But the willy
and sneaking sultan continues to fawn
upon the powers, covering his sinister
designs with cloak Of humility and in
nocence.
The entire responsibility for the war.
says Turkey, rests with Greece, a COM
plant that will deceive no one, unless,
indeed, the vision is so perverted that
righting a wrong is responsible for the
wrong.
Naturally enough, the prophecy of Eu-
ropean opinion and of those who simply
weigh the numerical strength Of the two
nations points to but one result of the
war-the victory of Turkey. The Otto
mans have ever and over again proved
themselves indomitable soldiers; dan
ger and death have no fears for them but
rather the immediate prospect of a very
material paradise. 1t is, however, i'm
possible that the cancer that has for
years been eating the heart OF Turkey
has not infused its contagion into the
army. In fact perpetual evidences have
proved that the Turkish army is both
undisciplined and disaffected. The SOL
diers in rags have clamored for their
long-deferred pay and have even

The Herald will on Sunday, the 25th inst,
issue a special Fiesta edition or forty

The edition will be superbly illustrated.
The title page, designed by Miss Hattie E.
Crippen of this city and Autographed by

merit, a voucher for which may be gath
cred from a glance at The Herald's hand

tain beautifully executed full-page relief
maps of the entire state of California and
of Southern California, especially designed
to show the harbor resources at San Diego

The progress and resources OF Southern
California will be reflected by five illustra-
ted articles on the counties OF Los Angeles,
Riverside. Orange, San Bernard1no anu
San Diego. An article describing the won
derful railroad development in Southern
California during the last twenty-five
years will also be of most valuable interest.

cal society, will write of the society's work
and research.

A CRY for Crete

On Christian Crete's historic ground
Now strains of martial music sound;
And. 10! the camp fires fash around,
Where ranked in fierce array.
Stand stalwart Spartan sire and son.
The remnants of that race that won
The wreath of fame at Marathon
And held Thermopylae.
And anchored off the shining strand
The navies strong of Europe stand,
Who seek with cruel, craven hand,
To slay the brave Giaour,
Who fiercely to the rescue flies.
Responsive to his brethren's cries,
And with his feeble hand defies
The foes that face the shore.
A band Of allies, bought by gold;
A servile crew to Satan sold,
Who wait like wolves around the fold.
To do the demons work,
To crush the cross of Christ, our LORD;
To save the sceptre and the sword
OF him by half the world abhorred,
1.-THE foul, fanatic Turk"
"Oh, great Jehovah" raise thy hand
To rescue that beleagured land,
Where Greek and Cretan bravely stand
To battle for their life.
Give, oh, give thy aid to Greece!
Cause this cruel war to cease!
And stretch thy canopy of peace
Across the scene of strife!

A Legend of Easter Morn

Tho earth still trembledl-alL as yet. was
dark,
The storm had swept the land and left Its
mark;
The eastern sky shed not the faintest ray
To tell the coming of the god of day.
Yet needless of the terrors Of the gloom
Sweet Mary FASTENED to the Saviors tomb:
Her bleeding heart more keenly felt the
loss
OF Him who gave His life upon the cross.
Weeping she came-with spices for the
dead
To lay her off'ripg at her Saviors head.
But ere she reached the tomb. the legends
say,
With outssretched limbs thornbush
blocked the way;
And In the bush a dove had built her nest.
And sat with four white eggs beneath her
breast.
Gazing beyond the bush, where Jesus lay,
Mary beheld the great stone rolled away,
And In the depths saw but the empty
prison
With glad surprise she shouted. "Christ IL

The frightened dove rose quickly at the
cry,
Fluttering her wings in vain essayed to
A cruel thorn had pierced her tender
breast
With plaintive cry she sank back in her
nest
And lay a moment, quivering In pain.
Then. with an effort quickly rose again;
And. soaring DER the tomb. on graceful
wing.
Poured forth song of gladness. "Lo. the
King!''
The blood that trickled from her breast
had spread
Over the pure white eggs. and stained
them red;
And Mary saw another heart had shed
Its precious life-drops for the risen dead.
Hence. the custom in every land and

Where the story is told at Easter time.

OF gentle Mary and the plaintive dove.

May is Just a-comin'.
Slippin' down the hills.
Hear the bees a-hummin'
By the laughin' rills.
The birds are rollin' over
In the shadows of the trees;
The buds are on the clover
The whole worlds on its knees.
Such singin and such shoutin'
Never came this way;
A man don't dare be poutin'
In face Of such day.
Everything's a workin'
In this happy west;
Amt no chance for shirkin'
When a fellow feels his best.
Put on your smilin' faces.
Put on your Sunday gown;
Get out your old-time laces.
Just as tho you'se goin' to town.
Let glad May slip round you
And carry you along,
Singin cause she found you
With such a happy song.
