WILL DO HIS BEST

William Jennings Bryan Is neither
selfish nor exclusive. There is a great
and remarkable competition on the part
of the cities of California to secure his
presence. In stay of such short dura-
tion as he is only able to make, it is OBJ
viously impossible to accommodate
every city that wishes to entertain him,
yet he will do his best, and Mr.. Bryan's
best means great deal.
An Associated Press dispatch from
San Francisco says that on his return
from Los Angeles Mr.. Bryan will speak
at as many places as the committee can
arrange for. Surely no more could be
asked. The Herald hopes that nobody
who wishes to see Mr.. Bryan will be dis
appointed, and with the fine weather
that is certain to prevail the opportun-
tiles will be many.

MONDAY, JULY S, 1897
THE DAY AND THE MAN

July s, 1897, will probably be recorded
as a red letter day in the history of Los
Angeles. Today we celebrate the one
hundred and twenty-frst anniversary
of the Declaration of independence, the
glorious issue for which our fathers shed
is rendered the more noteworthy in that
we have within our gates one of the most
distinguished citizens of this generation
whose name is a household word
throughout the United States. and who
IL the chosen champion of the people in
that second Declaration of Independence
which was given expression at the Chi
cago convention of 1885, A hundred and
twenty-one years ago our fathers
fought for national freedom; today we
are struggling for financial freedom
for the abolition of the single gold
standard which has proved iniquitous
and for the restoration of bimetallism.
Mr.. Bryan will speak twice today in
Los Angeles. This afternoon at Fiesta
park tens Of thousands will have an op-
portunity, free Of charge, to view the
man who has impressed his personality
upon the thought and policies of the ma
tion, whose magnetism is indubitable
and whose oratory is peerless. Mr..
Bryan will eschew politics in his address
this afternoon and will deliver patriot
ic Grafton that no citizen can afford to
miss hearing.
Tonight Mr.. Bryan will be the guest
of the Silver Republican club at ban
quet, which is also certain to be most
imposing event, one that will be priced
in the memories of all those who are
fortunate enough to be present.
We are celebrating a great day and
we are welcoming to our city a great
man. All honor to the event and all
honor to the man!

the president, is too young to have served
in the war, but he is in hearty sympathy
with the plan to organize Grand Army

A FINANCIAL FLYING MACHINE

There is to be some financial legisla-
ton. The monometal plan seems to par
take of some of the infirmities of the
average flying machine. It is beautiful
to look upon and SO satisfactory to the
demands of the monocuar intelligence
that its adoption was thought to be the
one prerequisite to period of soaring in
the financial empyrean. But it has had
trial and, like its archetype has fallen
with dull thud. And now there will
have to be some additional wheels ad-
justed to the machinery by appropriate
legislation.
The present embarrassment centers
In the kind and manner of legislation.
The president favors legislation by COM
mission. There are advantages in this
kind of maneuveringl 1t carries the
credit of action where serious action is
not intended and it enlists the infiuen-
tial advocacy that is inseparable from
the enjoyment of sinecure. There is
not one man today in the ranks of the
monometallists who has an intelligent
idea as to the character of legislation
that is needed to supply the wheels to
their flying machine and there is no
man, so far as we have been able to
ascertain, who pretends to know where
the wheel is to be inserted that will make
the thing float.
In this dilemma the president is anx-
ious to make diversion for the two
houses of congress and to hand the
enigma over to the commission of Wall
street operators who understand the
mechanism of financial flying machines
from the standpoint of specialists.
But it is hinted that congress, thinks If
knows how to fabrcate this sort of ma
chine itself, and that if there is any
soaring to be done in the financial empy-
rean it would prefer to sit in the exalted
place as master of ceremonies
OF course if congress persists in this
purpose the commission will not enter
:nto the enjoyment of the sinecure. and
valuable workers will have to go unre-

Los ANGELES HERALD: MONDAY MORNING, JULY S, 1897

discourtesyS The St. Louis convention
was obedieH to his nod, and knowing
his financial resources, he was given
command of tbe campaign for the cleo
ton of the ticket nominated at that con-
vention.
Mckinley waa put in position which
made him Jumping jack in Hanna's
hands. Hanna may not have bothered
himself about thepersonnel of the cabi-
net but he commanded that it should
be satisfactory to the men who contrib
uted the enormous sums of money he
disbursed in the campaign, and it was so
constituted. His power was so great
that he drove the venerable Sherman
out of the senate in order to make a
place for himself.
Hanna being chairman of the nation
al committee, having the money power
at his back, and being able to dictate
appointments when he chooses, is
terror to senators who want to be re-
crat, and to those representatives who
wish to succeed themselves in the cleo
ton of next year Then he is potential
in both branches of congress. and being
in Washington as a senator, he can per-
sonally observe how senators and rep
resentatives perform. Mckinley no
doubt wants to be reelected. and be-
sides feeling under obliga tions to Hanna,
he realizes that this Warwick is to make
the program for 1900 and direct the
party till after the next presidential
nomination is made. Mckinley cannot
therefore be independent so long as
Hanna holds the rod of power. Repub-
lican policies and destiny will be con-
trolled by him until there is a reverse in
the fortunes of the Republican party.
Next year will be asked the question
whether one man shall continue to pre-
side over the destines of the country.
Should Ohio this year decide against
Hanna his fall will be as sudden as was
his rise
In that case the money power will flee
from his sunken ship, and politicians
and place hunters will cease to do him
reverence. 1t is question with the peo-
pie whether the one-man power shall
be tolerated.

THE ONE-MAN POWER

The most powerful boss in the nation
today is Marcus A. Hanna. He not an
orator, nor statesman and he has never
performed any great service for the
country. This conspicuousness was ac-
quired in the late presidential campaign
in which he manifested energy and
shrewdness as a campaign manager and
manipulation. He was able to command
money to an extent never before known
in our politics. Trusts and monopolies
were at his back, and he frankly in
formed those enjoying special privileges
that unless they put up to his satisfac-
ton, the gold standard would be over
thrown. and he was not modest in his
demands.
He started out to nominate Mckinley
He had to antagonize Platt, Quay and
Clarkson, a formidable trio.
He began his campaign in the south
in those states where it was impossible
to secure Republican electoral vote.
He depended on Powell Clayton of Ar
kansas. Buck of Georgia, and Buckley
of Alabama, and he sert cousin Will
liam Mckinley Osborne to Louisiana to
make break in the delegation from that
state, in which Reed sentiment was
dominant, and he succeeded with the
use of money, and by promising ap-
pointments. He also got up rumpus
in Texas, and while Platt, Quay, ct id
omne were operating i'll detachments
Hanna had secured control of nearly the
solid south. Money and promises were
freely employed. He pitted Mckinley
against the field, and invaded states
where favorite sons were candidates

unfortunately too late to publish in Its

and manly virtues of the great COM

preciated by friend and foe, Mrs. Rem

Yates the evils of their condition. They
do not understand (and who can under
stand?) how in free republic under a
government by the people, of the people,
and for the people, such things can be.
Society, as illustrated by the aristocracy
of wealth, is becoming a menace to our
institutions. A society that has none of
the instincts of common humanity, that
lives do no good to it's fellow men and
women, that has no useful purpose, can
not well be otherwise than blot and
menace.
How shall these things be changed?
How shall these great dangers be re-
moved? Reform must come from with
out and from within. Society must mean
something besides money. and money
must not control our national and social
life, nor govern our institutions.

NASHVILLE'S SHOW
Saturdays Exercises Expected tc
Draw q Crowd

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 4.-The
present week will, in all probability be
less stirring than last week for there
are fewer special events scheduled,
though it is believed from present indi-
cations the attendance will be good and
the general average maintained at the
exposition.
Not until next Saturday will there be
an attendance comparing with the crowd
yesterday and last night. Next Satur-
day will be the day of the week. 1t will
be children's carnival day and the chill
dren's carnival will be one of the unique
events of the exposition. For several
weeks a chorus of $500 children has been
in training for a novel concert to be-
given in the auditorium. Though the
heat was excessive last week, the gen.
eral attendance was good and it is not
thought there will be marked decrease.

TO DETECT ORES
The < Ray Is to Be Used for, That
Purpose

Dr. F. E. Yoakum believes he has
made a discovery through his X-ray in
vestigations which will revolutionize the
present method of mining valuable ores.
He claims that it is now possible to de-
tect by use of the X-ray gold and other
ores in the rocks in which they may be
hidden.
In his experiments with this discovery
he has found that the rocks containing
deposits of ore can be photographed SO
that the precious metal will come out
plain in the picture. The various ores
will show in different colors. Gold, for
instance, will be found darker than
rock. There will be no regular forma-
ton and it is scattered through the rock
in flakes. Silver runs in slender needle
like lines through the substance in which
it is contained. Copper Is found in
CRYSTALS, as is shown in the photograph.
DR.. Yoakum stated that he had pho
toeraphed a piece of gold through a
rock three inches thick. The gold piece
was placed under the stone and showed
very plainly in this picture. If the dis
covery can be used with larger quanti-
ties of ore it may entirely change the
present methods Of mining. In order to
test any given locality the point where
the test is desired to be made might be
selected and, trench having been dug
on either side, the substance photo-

early legislation to supply the indispen-
sable wheel is very chimerical.
Up to this time there is only one feature
of the proposed reform that is tacitly
agreed upon by the monometallists.
This is the retirement of the greenbacks
and the treasury notes. Everything else
seems to be financial chaos In fact their
whole scheme is financial chaos. They
have gold and token silver and paper
promises to pay in gold This is their
whole machine and all it's wheels. They
proclaim that it is perfection except in
the manner of the adjustment of it's
parts. But the cunning hand of the ad-
juster is wanting still.
1t is nothing uncommon for an inventor
to become crazy through studying the
intricacies of the impossible in mechan-
ical contrivances, and under the shadow
of such a possibility all good citizens
will unite in the cherished hope that
nothing serious may result in the ranks
of the honora BILE monometallists of con-
gress from the engrossing study of the
impossible in the construction of their
financial flying machine.

CANTON KEPT QUIET
IN RESPONSE TO M'KINLEY's
REQUEST
It Was Dreadfully Hot, but the Pres
ident Wended His Way to
the Church

CANTON, Ohio, July 4.-Canton re-
spected President McKinley's request
that he be permitted to pass quiet
Sunday. While many of his old neigh
bors and fellow townsmen called at the
home of his aged mother to pay their
respects. there was no formality about
his sojourn in the city today, and he
and his friends were permitted to pass
the time as quietly and restfully as the
intense heat of the day would permit.
In spite of the humidity. the Ginning Of
the church bells this morning found the
president vending his way to the First
NJ E. church, of which congregation he
is still director. The preside was ac-
>companied to services by his venerable
mother and they were driven to church
In the modest family carriage by James
Mckinley, the presidents nephew.
The services were conducted by Rev.
DR.. C. E. Manchester, who became pas
tor of the presidents church during the
heat of the campaign and who accom-
panied the presidential party on the in
augural train.
A special musical program was rem
dered out of Difference to the day and
the attendance of the president. After
the services, members of the congrega-
tion gathered around the president and
his mother by the score, extending
greetings to them.
Mrs. Mckinley did not attend church,
but spent the day at the home of the
presidents mother and with her own
relatives.
About noon the president and Mrs.
Mckinley went to the home of Mr. and
Mrs Barber, the latter Mrs McKin-
leys sister, for dinner, and they spert
a part Of the afternoon with relatives
there.
