The Independent Office has received
a copy Of the special Fiesta edition OF
The Los Angeles Herald of Sunday,
April 25 1897 and can say that this su-
perbly illustrated edition is work of real
artistic merit, and one of the most COM
plete and reliable records of the weeks
festivities of La Fiesta de Los Angeles.
The cover of this edition is beautifully
executed in colors showing relief maps
of the state Of California and Southern
California, and especially the harbors of
San Pedro and San Diego, and also
map showing the Southern Pacific rail-
way system in California, etc.
The half-tone pictures Of the queen,
her court, officials and other dignitaries
connected with La Fiesta, and of persons
prominent in financial circles, are faith
full portraits which materially enhance
the value of the edition as souvenir.
In referring to this superb edition we
must not omit to mention the illustra-
tions showing the artistic deeigns of the
various floats used in the procession and
the little "coons," the caballeros, the
Chinese, the military, and the illustra-
tions showing poor Lo," the remnant
of the Mission Indians, in their half CIV
ilzed costumes consisting of red ban
dana and a yard of ribbon, a turtle shell
and rattle.
Following the beautiful illustrations a
noticeable feature of the edition is an ar
| ticle describing visit made to the island
of San Nicolas by Robert M. Fox, in the
yacht Nellie. Several columns are de-
voted to the mode of life while in exile
on the island the collection of Indian
relice. and the immense quantities OF
human bones exposed by the drifting
sand.

THE LESSON OF MAY DAY

Europe is generally supposed to be
pockmarked with anarchy, but if this
be true the pits are less deep than was
the case not long ago. The fact that
May day passed without general strikes
and was marked by the absence of
tions on the part Of the followers of
the red flag. may well be accepted as
an auspicious omen for internal peace
on the continent. To be sure, man
tried to assassinate King Humbert the
other day, but that was merely the
work of a demented individual, and had
no connection with the doings of anarch-
ism.
1t is fair to presume that the condi-
tions are ripe for action by the European
anarchists should they be in the mood
The shadow of general European war
hangs over the whole continent, and
Great Britain as well. The several gov
errments are gravely occupied with in
ternational complications. Now, if ever,
is the time to strike, so far as this phase
of the situation is concerned.
But the anarchists, as well as the
governments, keep finger on the pop
ular pulse. They know that public SEN
timent is overwhelmingly against them
and their methods. They realize that
they can never bring about popular
uprising through dynamite revolts
against society
All over the world the campaign of
education is taking the place of the
campaign of violence and force. The
nations and the people are growing wiser
as the world grows older. Intelligence
is overcoming ignorance.
1t is pleasant to iceland it is the
truth-that the example of the United
States has had much to do with the
favorable change in opinion and senti-
ment the world over The leaven of lib
erty by popular government is fast
leavening the lump Of tyranny. Let US

CONFIDENCE IS WANTING

The board Of education proposes to ask
the people to vote in favor OF the issu-
ance of bonds to the amount of $685.. 800
for the purpose OF constructing new
school buildings. The purpose is to be
commended for It is certainly essential
that no children in Los Angeles should
lack adequate accommodation for edu-
cation. Unhappily. however. the board
Of education itself supplies. an insur-
mountable stumbling block and the peo-
pie will be prudent in refusing to
countenance its plans. The history and
present status OF the board is certainly
not such as to inspire the committing to
its care of an undertaking Of thie magni-
tude. The present board. by the vote of
its hard and fast majority and against
the repeated protests of the minority.
wilfully ignored the ordinary precedents
Of business; it has refused to follow the
ordinary and only satisfactory method
Of advertising for bids in open and COM
petitive channels. For three terms the
board of education has been so control
led by cliques that the whole school sys-
tenn today is honeycombed with ward
politics. The political A..Nl" and not
efficiency is taken into Gocount in almoet
every deal and every appointment that
the board makes and the natural and
proper consequence is that the public
has lost all confidence In the close cor
poration that controls this body.
If the board of education wishes to
avoid the modification Of being turned
down. it would better not ask for the
bonds.

It if the farmer IN Missouri or Califor-
MIA does foot the bill.
But when the farmer puts in an ap-
pearance and pleads to have the hide
from the back Of his steer protected from
the pauper labor Of Argentine, he is
told that the already highly protected
tanner Of the eastern states must have
cheap hides in order that his profits may
be further enhanced. When the sheep
man asks to have his interests consid-
cred and Australian wool shut out, the
protected maker Of cloth steps up and
says nowoolcanb be too cheap to suit him.

who made so eloquent a plea to have

facturer found so convincing.

The Proposed Tax on Hides

If the hide were the portion Of the
animal most valuable and the part for
which cattle are mainly raised, there
would be reason for duty thereon; but
the hide is only a bi-product. Cattle
are raised for the beef and for the dairy.
Beef butter and cheese bear a duty, and
even cattle as whole bear duty. Such
being the case. there seems to be no
good reason why duty should be inl-
posed on hides simply for the purpose
of protection. 1t is the market and price
tQE .beefapd dairy products which stim-
duty on hides, since no one would raise
cattle in this country simply for hides

JONES TO THE RESCUE

II happens fortunately for the western
states that, in the closing discussion OF
the pending tariff bill, western sena-
tor happens to hold the balance of power
More opportune, still, It happens that
fortunes selection in this instance Is
a man Of rare Individuality 1naemuch
as McKinley's administration, in stolid
forgetfulness Of the calamity that the
Mckinley tariff of 1890 brought upon the
party. has nevertheless resolved to force
a high protective tariff upon the country,
there is nothing inconsistent in the
efforts Of the advocates Of the tariff for
revenue to obtain in behalf Of the Sec
tions they respectively represent the
largest possible share of the inevitable
imposition.
The eastern manufacturers had things
pretty much their own way under the
bill as 1t was passed by the house. Very
positive discrimination against the farm
ing interests Of the country was con-
spicuous characteristic of the Dingley
bill as 1t came to the senate. Raw mate
rails as, for instance. wool and hides.
and productions such as citrus fruits.
were awarded but scant recognition.
Especially were the producers of the
lower grades of wool and the producers
Of hides delivered over to the mercy of
home producers in these articles could
not compete with the volume of trade
from the steppes of Asia and the 1lanos
Of South America Nevertheless, the
manufacturers from these materials
were enormously protected.
This was the aspect of the tariff bill,
in which particulars it was but slightly
modified in the senate committee until
Senator Jones of Nevada came to the
rescue. Fortunately, as stated, he holds
the balance of power, and is in nowiee
backward in exercising his prerogative
in favor of extending protection as we'll
TO the producer as to the manufacturer.
The senator's demands in this direction
will largely increase the duty upon the
lower grades Of wool, upon hides, upon
lead ore, upon beet sugar and upon citrus
fruits and bottled olives.
Upon these latter items Senator Jones
came to the aid of Senators White and
Perkine and practically secured by the
force of circumstances what the latter
would probably have failed to obtain as
matter Of simple justice. 1t isvery grat-
flying to have the assurance now that
if high tariff must be the policy of the
country it will not be purely sectional
affair with California excluded.

The Working of McKinleyism

Yesterday saw the importation Of
1929 bales of wool at this port. What
is the occasion of this extraordinary
influx of wool? Nothing but the threat
Of the new Mckinley bill to tax all ship
ments made after April at rate which
is practically prohibitory. Dealers in
wool and manufacturers of woolen
goods are hurrying the material of the
manufacture into this country to escape
the burden of this tax. And when the
tax becomes operative. the people will
have to pay the difference.-Boston

THE KISS IN COURT

And stole from her a honeyed kiss
Which was just the proper way.

Which legal rules could not deny;
The lawyer held no justice. ought
So frail a suit as that to6ry.
The action, when it got in court,
Met with a jury enient,
And many a outlet and retort
Day after day on it was spent
The lawyer claimed no maiden could
So much rare lovelness display;
A kiss like this he understood
Was f1otsam on the states highway.
The maiden said her rosy lips
No easement were for him to use.
Though they all others might eclipse
Her answer was somewhat abstruse.
And thus progressed the argument

But, sent into their room again,
