1t is an infamous falsehood, without q
scintilla of truth, to charge that Popu-
lists do not respect the rights OF prop
erty. No more law abiding people can

The Times vents its spleen. and serves.

the lowest instincts of humanity, greed,
whose offspring it is, when it says:
"Populism is but another name for DIS
content, anarchy and inofpient revolu-

NO baser, unfounded charge was ever
made. Neither the personnel of the

warrant the charge.
Then, as if ITO add insult to injury, he

Is it then the blight of Republicanism
that is paralyzng the industries of Cal

situated, the fault cannot be laid on the
Populists.

BUDDHA'S BIRTHPLACE.

The pioneer of India gives some inter-
esting details concerning the recent dis
covery of the birthplace of Buddha. II
appears that, in representa- tons made
by the indian government. the Ncpalese
prime minister granted permiSsior to
the archaeological surveyor of the north
west provinces to visit the Nepal Terai
in order to explore the country for q dis
tance ten miles to the northwest of
Mauza Nigliva, whore row stands * o.

General khadga Shamsher. governor of
Palpa. was instructed 70 meet DR. Fab
rer at Nigliva. BY q lucky chance the
meeting came about instead about fif-
teen miles to the northeast, at Mauza
Fadriya, near the tahsil of Bhagwan-
pur il the zllah of Butaul close to the
generals camp. Here, near the ruins of
several stupas, stood one of Asoka's
monOliths rising about ten feet above
the level of the surrounding ruins and
covered with pilgrims records, of which
one belongs to about the ninth century.
The archaeologist'a attention was at
once caught by this, and the pillar was
unearthed - the depth of another four
teen feet, when Welipreserved inscrp-
ton of the great Emperor PeyadGassi,

OUR LOCAL INDUSTRIES

One OF the arguments to prove that
Los Angeles can never become a great
city is the lack of manufactures. There
is nothing here to support large work
ing population" they say, consequently
it never can go beyond narrow limits in
growth. These statements are made
usually by those who are not familiar
with what we are really doing, as city,
in the manufacturing line.
The display Of articles of local manu-
facture, collected by the Merchants and
Manufacturers association, in the home
products exhibition has ELECTED express
sions of surprise from the thousands Of
visitors to the pavilion during the past
two weeks. Probably not 25 per cent of
those who have visited the exposition
are aware that half the articles were
made at home-almost at their doors.
Nor does this exhibit represent the en-
tire resources OF the city. Some of the
manufacturers refused, it is said, to pay
the price asked for floor space, who one
week later were willing to give twice
the sum for the privilege of showing
their wares to the public.
Should this exhibit be made a perma-
nent thing annually, it is safe to say
there would not be room enough in the
building now used to accommodate the
demand in a few years. We are only
in Southern Calfornia-only beginning
to learn what is most profitable.

1t is safe to say the people have had
their attention called to so many other
things that they have lost sight of the
appropriations of the present congress,
and they will be surprised when told
that it is the most extravagant congress
by more than 100000 COO in the history
of the country. The people were hor-
rified when the Fifty-second congress,
called Reeds congress" spent little
over billion dollars but now they have
to face expenditures amounting to more
than s1,100, 100000, and that, too, with a
Democratic veto to check the outgo.

ANOTHER &OTECTION
SCHEME,

High protectionists are not a little
worried over a scheme of importers to
fill all the bonded warehouses with for
eign goods ard wares before the new
tariff act becomes operative. The same
thing was done when it became certain
that the Mckinley bill would become a
law and there is no doubt that It will
be Gbne now, as it should be. II is un-
derstood, however, that a provision Will
be inserted in the new bill to class all
goods that are in bond when the law
takes effect the same as new importa-
tions The custom has always been to
permit the importer 10 lft bis goods re-
main in bonded warehouses until such
time as suited his convenience to re-
move thtm and then he was allowed to
take them by drible,s, 60 TO speak lay
ing the duties as he removed them.
The reason why This custom has al
ways prevailed is The euocn ous adoi-
tional capital that would be required to
pay the full sum Of The duties when the
goods arrived. Most importers buy in
very large quantities because they can
buy cheaper, and then they save in the
item Of transportation when the ship
ment is large, but if they are obliged to
pay the full duties upon arrival a very
much larger capital would be required,
to say nothing Of the expense of main
ta''a~ ~"'yate storehouses, and the
erFel would not gain a farthirg.
3u- .o ect of the high protectionist:
IS 81 ~ imports of goods and wares
dow. .l minimum, So that when the
Kew la -comes operative he markets
~ c ar of their kind Of commodi-
would enable them to imme-
GA vance prices to the full extent

Taa say, If it can be managed 70
.. t supplies of industrial pro-
aU,~ he market when the new law
becomes operative. prices could be ad-
vanced from 50 to 100 per cent at once.
1t is given out that whatever the new
bill may provide in the way of protec-
tion that the chief purpose of the franz
ers of it is to increase the revenue, but
the schedules that have been agreed
upon contradict all that, and it is not
reasonable to suppose the bill as a whole
will be different. Every kind of manu-
factured article will cost the consumer
more under the operation of the new
law, but wages, and farm products, ex-
cept wool and fruit, will remain as they
are, or seek a lower level Of prices 1t
is the purpose Of the Dirgley commit
tee to make the industries as near COM
plete masters of the home goods and
wares markets as possible but it is not
isthe intention of the committee to give
anything like the same advantages to
those not engaged in indus trial pursuits
Nor is it the purpose of the committee

THE BLIGHT OF POPULIsM"

To the Editor Of the Los Angeles Her
aid: In behalf of a large class of re-
spectacle citizens, permit me to notice
q scurrilous and wholly unwarranted at
tack by the Times in an editorial under
date of January %, 1897
Under the headline, "The Blight of
Populism," Col. Otis gives vent to his
fertile but rancorous brain. Reformers
may have ADLER enemies, but never foe
more bitter or INSCRIPTIONS.
After stating that interest is as low as
~ per cent in New York city and in
Kansas 70 to 10 per cent, this wise solon
declares:
'The cause for the disparity between
New York and Kansas, as regards the
rate of interest, may be ascertained with
out exhaustive research. The state and
the city of New York are governed by
men who, whatever may be their Short
comings. respect the rights of property.

TRUSTS DUE TO PUBLIC LAXrrY

The popular feeling against cormorant
trusts is not a mere prejudice founded
on nothing. 1t is a righteous protest
against an organized greed which
threatens serious consequences to the
people at large. Combinations of this
sort are un-American. for it is un-Amer-
lean to place the people at the mercy Of
such controlling influences. Men en-
gagged in small enterprises have as good
a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness as have nAn who are worth
their millions. And under government
of the people, by the people and for the
people it is the peoples fault If they per-
nit themselves to be rust-ridden.-De-

DIVORCE ASKED
AFTER ONE YEAR
Sequel to a Wedding That
Took Place Under Un-
usual Circumstances.
Charlotte Cameron's Husband
Left Her on the Evening of
Their Marriage.
Her Sister Was Also Secretly Welded
After Fssaying to Go Upon
the Stage.

JUO DfOdu way, aug. 20.
Mrs. Charlotte Cameron has filed suit
for a divorce from Elwood Cameron,
claiming desertion and failure o provide.
They were married in San Francisco
April 90 1896, when he was under age.
His mother signed the request for his IL
cense and the Rev. Mr.. Cook performed
the ceremony the same night with Cam
eron's mother and sisters as witnesses.
Elwood refused 10 live with his wife
after the ceremony and never visited her
until some time in August or Septem Der,
the night before her baby died.
The Camerons came to Oakland about
three years ago and have been in the pub
lie eye on several occasions. The eldest
daughter, Efie, disappeared suddenly
two years ago, but was found in San Fran
cisco, where she declared t. at before she
would return home she would 60 on the
stage and earn her own living. She did
return, however, and on the strength OF a
big fortune in the East she was gener
ously treated by many tradesmen in this
city and by a well-to-do lady on telegraph
avenue, and together with her mother
made an extensive Eastern trip.
On their return Mrs. Cameron furnished
a house in East Oakland handsomely with
furniture. Two months atterward the
furniture was removed. The youngest
daughter then ran away, and when found
told OF her ill-t-entment and drudgery at
home. Then came Elwood's sudce en- we'd
ding, since which time he has treated his
wife with utter Indifference.
Etfie Cameron was married on February
16 OF this year to Frank Richardson, the
son of an attorney Of San Francisco. The
marriage was a secret and every attem pit
made to keep it from the public. Rev.
Dr. Coyle was called from the platform
during one of the Munhail revival services
10 perform the ceremony. That evening
was the only time thet Mr.. and Mrs.
Cameron have been seen together since
their wedding, and it was then thought
that a reconciliation had taken place.
The suit filed to-day proves otherwise.
