NO DISPOSITION TO "ABsoRB'

Nothing can be further from the minds
of those who are working for the sue
cess of Mr.. Bryan's visit to Los Angeles
than that there should be any confusion
with the distinctive Fourth of July cell
ebrations. 1t is rumored that the Fourth
of July committee is meeting with some
objections on this score. The charge is
made that Mr.. Bryan's friends are try
ing to absorb the Fourth of July cele-
bration- The objectors are probably
trying to protect their pockets with
pretense of patriotism. Los Angeles
should show Mr.. Bryan and its other dis
tinguished visitors how it celebrates the
national holiday in the best, most en-
thusiastic and patriotic way. At Mr..
Bryan's only public appearance in this
city his speech will eschew politics and
consist of a patriotic Grafton. His only
political utterances will be delivered a,
private banquet, at which he will BE-
the guest of the Silver Republican club
No citizen, who is honest with himself
can withhold his support from the
Fourth of July committee on any such
pretenSe as has been mentioned,

CENTRAL AMERICAN Fedora
TON

Efforts have been made for a good
many years to bring together the five
little republics of Central America un-
der a single government on the plan
which the United States was the first to
adopt, and which has been followed by
Mexico Brazil, Colombia, and other
South American countries. This coun-
try has aided in the work as far as it
could. The sending CT single minis
ter to the five countries was sugges-
ton that their union would receive the
approval of our government. Minister
Williamson, appointed by President
Grant, exerted himself to bring about a
union, and with considerable effect. The
obstacles to consolidation have been fac
tions and feuds, prompted by ambitious
demagogues.
1t now appears upon the surface that
Qua temala, Honduras, Nicaragua and
Salvador are acting in pretty good ac-
cord, and that though Costa Rica has
asserted to the plan of consolida ton,
there is opposition on the part of some
of the leading men. Federaliza tion of
those countries would be hailed with
satisfaction by the civilized world, and
as the people of all those states are of the
same blood, speak the same language,
profess the same religion, and as there

The Clerk Was Right

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Her
ald-Will you allow me to state, in your
type as matter of some interest to the
public, as well as to myself, that the
question which arose at the council
meeting on Monday, as to the filing of
papers on Saturday afternoon. was
simply as to the right and duty of the
city clerk to accept and file them after
o'clock on that day. The council has
directed him to close his Office at that
hour on Saturdays, and it was claimed
that he could not, at any later hour, file
an appeal with legal effect and go on to
advertise it and present it to the coun-
Gil. Lawyers and common-sense citi-
zens will agree that the clerk was right
in the course which he took, and that !
was right in offering him the paper, and
that the president of the council sus-
tanned the credit Of that body, when'he
shut down on the charges which men,
ber attempted to make.

Senator Cole on the Harbor Situation

To the Editor of the Los Angeles
Herald: Since the harbor commissioners
made their report 1 have conversed with
Angeles on the subject, and all, without
exception, have put their desire for har-
Dor improvement upon the ground Of
advantage that it will be to us to have
so large an amount of government mou-
ey expended here. The appropriation
would seem to be the main consideration
with many. The San Francisco press,
with keen appreciation Of what it evil
IDENTIFY considers our especial ambition,
treats the subject from the same point Of
view. The Monarch of the Dailes,"
with its usual magnanimity, insists that
we are entitled, not to harbor, but to
the $3,00000O, and it keeps on telling US
what great outrage it is for Mr. Alger
or Mr.. Huntington to obstruct it's dis
hursament. The offense is not in depriv-
ing us of harbor, but in Withholding
the money.
Without intending to be offensive, I
must say that this is very narrow view
to take of the harbor question. The gov
ernment never has proposed to make a
harbor here or elsewhere for the sake Of
expending the public money; but al
ways for the promotion of commerce.
Nor does the government consider the
benefit that will flow to any railroad, or
any private party from the construction
of harbor. It's sole aim in such works
is to facilitate and encourage foreign
commerce.
This commercial idea has been almost

NEGLECTED PHENOMENON

They are writing them up, and they're

And they're writing them every way

Such wonderful things to say.
The man with the head where no hair is
spread,
And the man with the flowing name
Are described in a style that is bright
bright red
And are pictured again and again.
A peculiar smile or a whskers style,
Or a curious tone of voice
Will be heralded to the utmost mile
While the marveling crowds rejoice.
Butch, tricky fate!-there is one more

'Tis the man who has sat through the ses-
sion late
And who never has said word.

seems to be no necessary condict OF In.
terests. it has been surprising to SEN
sible men that they did not long ago COM
bine and form one nation. By such an
act there would be less liability to
emeutes and wars among themselves.
Divided as they have been they have
received little notice in diplomatic af-
fairs. and they are little known except
for the frequent turbulence that has ex-
listed there. Central America Is rich in
natural resources, and by union and cor
dial cooperation the republic would
soon become strong and influential, at
| least in the affairs of the American con-
tinent, and she would be able to more
successfully defend herself against the
aggression of strong and unscrupulous
nations. 1t is to be hoped that there is
patriotism enough among the people,
and sufficient number Of men of abil-
ity and virtue to enact and administer
laws that will bring prosperity, and pro-
mote the development of wealth and
happiness of the people.
NO nauon is more interested tnan the
United States in the welfare of Central
America-in its peace and order, liber-
ties and in commerce. The products of
the two countries in many respects are
so dissimilar that reciprocal trade rela-
tions need not be forced, for they are nat
ural results of inevitable conditions
Furthermore, the union of those states
is in line with the policy of building up
strong American nationalities, and of
giving potency to American influence in
the worlds affairs.
1t is announced that the government
proposes to adopt common money policy
and provide medium of exchange that
will circulate without discount or dis
paragement in all the states. 1t is a
wise measure, for nothing scarcely has a
greater influence in. bringing people to-
getfer than having a mutual interest in
the money with which they transact the
business of life. This country has had
an experience which demonstrates the
advantages Of national currency over
that which is provided by the states, and
is without uniformity. No doubt our
government will use its influence in
proper ways to promote the success of
Central American federation.

Under the old Republican regime the
scheme was to get the government to
put up the money to build railroads and
then let the debt go by default. trusting
to paid lobbyists and skilled attorneys
to keep the government out of its money
