of the law. is the mission and duty of
the commonwealth. Especially does this
hold true with respect to an institution
like Whittier, which is professedly re-
formatory in character. In this connec-
ton The Herald would call attention to
an article recently published by it show
ing that in commitments to the school
the line is not drawn with sufficient
clearness between the mere incorrigibles
and those who are hardened in crime.
Where this is the case contamination
rather than reformation must result.
There is no excuse for not making the
distinction when the state has two sep
arate institutions for the two separate
classes.
In the meantime the present difficulty
should be probed to the bottom. We
cannot afford to have either rebellion or
mismanagement at our state reform
school.

A RANK FAILURE

The newspapers might as we'll modify
quently reiterated opinion that the Vic
torian jubilee was a complete success.
In fact, they may as we'll admit that the
big show was a rank, blooming failure.
And this is the why and wherefore.
The Pail Mall Gazette was omitted
from the invitation list for the queen S
party at Windsor castle last Saturday
Such common, people as the members
of the house of commons were there, for
the party was given in their honor; but
the representa- tives of the Pail Mall Ga
zette We're conspicuous by reason of their
absence.
This plain statement Of fact does not
convey the horrible truth in all its real
istic terrors; it is necessary to further
explain that the Gazette is owned by
that renegade American, William Wal
dorf Astor, who has spared neither time
money nor toadyism in his efforts to
bask in the sunshine of royal favor
1t was this particular Astor who paid
three prices for pair of horses recently
simply because they had been the prop
erty of the prince of Wales; who paid
an extortionate rental for summer cot
tage, because it had once been the tenn
porary abode of royalty; in spite of these
things, and in spite of lavish expendi-
ture of money in manner calculated 20
win the approval of "the Wales set," the
snubbed. Who will have the temerity
now to assert that the jubilee was a
success?

THROUGH THE SENATE

The senate passed the tariff bill yester-
day afternoon, 80 to 2S, and the measure
now goes to a joint conference committee
for adjustment. 1t will be week or
ten days, or possibly two weeks, before
it is finally enacted into law.
So great was the Republican desire for
the political return of prosperity that
July 1st was the latest date set for the
passage of the bill; then it was to be
celebrated July 4th to the booming of
cannon (anything to create boom). The
effect Of the bill. however, has been so
thoroughly discounted, and so evident
has I. recome that it can have no i'm
med-zte and permanent favorable effect
upon the industries of the country, that
all desire for haste seems to have de-
parted from the bosoms of the Republi-
can managers.
Grave doubts have been expressed is to
whether the Republican tariff bill will
be adequate as revenue producer. If
these doubts are substantiated the bill
will have failed in one of its chief pur
poses, that of producing revenue suf-
ficient to carry on the government with
out running the country deeper into debt:
1t will have disturbed the business of the
country and caused vast influx of for
eign goods without any compensation
whatever.
AS matters now stand the Republican
tariff bill has simply promoted the in
terests of the trusts to a shameful de-
gree. The machinery of congress has
been used to pay the debts ofthe Repub-
lican party. What other evils are in
store, time only can tell

THE WHITTIER OUTBREAK

The mutiny in the state reform school
at Whittier is tangled mess at best,
and it is hard at this date to place the
responsibility just where it belongs.
One thing is certain-order and discipline
must be maintained. If the boys have
just grievances, there is proper way
to present them and to secure redress.
Riot and rebellion are not to be toler-
ated.
The animus of the boys seems to be
directed against Captain Thomas Brady
commander of Company A, at the school
Captain Brady is said to be strict dis
ciplinarian. Perhaps he has been too
strict, but he has maintained order and
discipline in his command, which can
not be said of all the officials in similar
positions. 1t seems like an intolerable
weakness to allow a class of tough boys
1 like those at Whittier to dictate as to
the officers who shall command them.
There is weakness and incompetency
somewhere in the institution. Why
should the boys have been allowed to
pass through the kitchen and steal all
does the hysterical call on the cannery
employees for help indicate courage and
presence of mind on the part of the off,
cials in charge.
| 1t will doubtless be found necessary
to go further back than the present out
break in order to fasten the primary
responsibility where it belongs. The po-
sitions in the state reform school at
institutions, are filled through political
favor. Whenever there is rotation in
party power a new set of officials takes
hold. 1t is inevitable that capability
adaptabiity and general efficiency
should be made secondary to political ia
voritism at times. though it is not to be
assumed by any means that an appoint
ment is bad because it is political ap-
pointment. Some of our best officials
owe their positions to the success of the
political party for whose advancement
they have labored.
But in an institution like the Whittier
reform school the responsible positions
ought to be given to men who have
shown especial fitness for then and
then these men should be retained sc
.ong as they do good work. There is a
happy medium between cruelty and
weak. lax management, but not every
man entrusted with authority can es-
tabl.sh 1t.

CALIFORNIA OPINION
The Beet Sugar Bounty

Senator Allison has brought forward
at this late day a motion to- amend the
tariff bill by offering a bounty of quar-
ter of cent per pound on sugar made
from beets. 1t is not likely that such an
amendment can be carried row, and 1t
is doubtful whether, all things consider
ed, it would be desirable. California has
proved that under normal conditions as
respects tariff and prices, she can pro-
duce beet sugar without bounties, and
to bestow bounties might only have the
effect of Inducing speculative persons
to start a lot of sugar factories in parts
of the country not at all adapted ia beet
culture. Probably Senator Allisol's
section would like to see bounty law
passed. but it may be doubted whether
he is very sincere in offering his amend
ment-Oakland Enquirer.

FAIR INEz
o, saw We not fair Inez?

o, saw We not fair Inez?
She got upon a. bike,
And folks that saw her start declare
They ne'er beheld the like;
She wore pair of bloomers,
A dickey and a vest:
The neighbors held the wheel for her
Fair Inez did the rest.
And with the lovely Inez
A gallant cavalier
Rode down the pike to teach her
To pedal and to steer;
He whispered airy nothings,
He boldly secuted fear,
Until he struck a jagged rock
And landed on his ear.
.s.s4Hz
I saw the lovely Inez
Descend along the shore,
And there was dust all over
The boomers that she wore!
Upon her face she landed,
She's beautiful no more
I'll wager such mixed-up mess
Was never seen before.
Alas, alas for Inez!
She went away with song;
With ribbons on her handlebar,
And shoutings of the throng!
She came back all disordered,
Nor brought her wheel along
The doctor says twill be month
Before she's well and strong.

THEY HAVE FOUND OUT HE Is
ALIVE

Speaking OF mysteries. 1t Is amusing to
notice the spasms Bryan's visit has in
duced in the minds of our esteemed Re-
publican contemporaries. For six
months they have been complacently
telling their misguided readers that
Bryan and his cause were dead-dead
as Julius Caesar.
That speech on free silver was 80 live
ly that it brought back the old spasms of
terror lest truly American financial
policy should be adopted. The opposi-
tion have strung another string to their
fiddle, and they are now playing the
same old tune about destroying conf
dence by agitation. Since last Monday
they are very tired and cry aloud for
rest.
Patrick Henry found the same kind of
people in America in his day. They
cried, Peace! Peace! The great Vir-
ginian told them peace was impossible
while English letters bound the hands
of free-born Americans. So today the
single standard gold people may cry
Peace! Peace! but there is no peace
until the new declaration of freedom
from foreign domination over our
finances, our industries, our commerce,
are at an end. Peace and rest are impos-
sible things under the existing condi-
tions.
Just one fact to demonstrate: About
twenty years ago Mexico needed money
for internal improvements. The gov
ernment of that republic went to Lon
loan of $S2, ,5O0 900 at per cent interest.
AT that time Mexican silver dollars
passed current for their face as the best
money in the commercial world. The
annual interest on this debt was dis
charged by transferring 4,95o00O Mex
lean dollars to Europe. The discredit-
ing of silver for money purposes. begun
in 1873, had not yet had the intended
effect. Time passed and the effect be-
gan to intensity. The Latin union
ceased to coin silver. Effort after effort
of the makeshift order was vainly tried
in the United States. Then the Sherman
law was repealed, the Indian mints were
closed and the European bondholders
had financial bondage in force on all
the peoples of the world. Silver fell lower
and lower in price, so that now Mexico
is forced to send nearly $4,000, 900 of her
coined silver to Europe to discharge
obligations formerly met by the remit
tance of half that sum- The bondhold-
ers who receive this money send it to
India, China or Japan to discharge bills
for rice, silks, teas and other products
of those countries. Every dollar OF these
Mexican coins pays for just as many
pounds of these commodities as it
bought twenty years ago. In other
words, the interest money costs Mexican
people twice as many days work az
they expected to give, and the Dutch and
English money changers get the product
of twice as many days work of the Hin
doc or Chinaman as they expected to get.
The Mexican ranc1ler is robbed, and the
European money shaver is enriched.
We are in the same boat as Mexico.
While we are, Mr.. Bryan and the cause
of free silver will be very much alive.
We are sorry for our hysterical Repub-
lican contemporaries, but it seems as if
they would have to stand that tired feel
ing induced by Bryan's logic for long
time to come.

The country will be glad when the tar
iff bill has finally been disposed of, for
general disgust has been created by the
disgraceful scramble of trusts for ad-

trusts will be well provided for. Theo-
ries have been amply elucidated in the

1t is only three years since John Sher-
man, speaking in the senate on thesugar
schedule, said: Il had rather cut off my

the senator took a cabinet position in

also declared that the sugar trust needed
no protection. He has either changed
his mind or lost the courage of his con-
victions since that time.

ABUSE VS.. ARGUMENT

In referring to Mr.. Bryan's speech last
Monday, The Herald noted the absence
or partisan bitterness, the freedom from
personal abuse in dealing with his op-
ponents, and the cleanness from vituper-
alton. We said that in this respect the
address was a model to be followed with
advantage in all discussions of political
subjects. These statements were strictly
true.
We are sorry that the good example
is not to be followed. Mr.. Bryan dis
cussed profound principles of politics
and of craftsmanship in dispassioned,
logical and dignified manner. In his
treatment of those opposed to him he
was good natured, courteous, and gen.
erous to a marked degree. If his prem
ises or conclusions be wrong, fact and
logic must be used in reply. He will
not be answered by abuse and vitupera-
tion, no matter how bitter it may be.
Calling names proves nothing.
AS to employing the Fourth of July for
discussion of political topics and the
principles of statescraft, we yield to no
man in our sense of patriotism, when
we say, there is no better use to which
the day can be put. 1t rises as far above
sensational spreadeagleism, jngoism or
even the twisting of the famous British
lions tail, as Mr.. Bryanis logical ad-
dress rises above tie personal abuse
used by those opposed to him, when they
find his arguments difficult to answer.
The fact is, here is where this matter
hurts. And those who are hit show poor
taste in making SO much noise over their
wound.
If the subject of free silver were "a
discredited and moribund political is
sue," those on the other side would not
feel so keenly the sharp arrows of logic
by which Mr.. Bryan demonstrates, that
this is the great living issue of the day
The single standard gold people no doubt
would like to bury Mr.. Bryan and his,
cause and their soreness is because they
are denied the privilege of attending the
funeral.
We wish to assure our esteemed con-
temporaries who were not at the speak
ing, that there was not one harsh or
discordant note" in Mr.. Bryan's speech.
There was nothing "disingenuous, un-
fair, nor unjust" in anything he uttered.
His methods were not "those of a char
latan." Nor was there word he said
to justify the epithet of "demagogue Z"
pugnment than are those of the gentle
man who sits in the White House by the
grace of Mark Hanna.
We think it would be the part of wis
dom for Mr. Bryan's opponents to cease
their idle use of phrases without mean
ing, such as the Silver craze" and imi-
tate Mr.. Bryan in a calm, logical dis
cussion of the principles they profess.
They may be "the same old story" Mr..
Bryan tells, 'the same old points that
Mr.. Bryan makes. The Sermon on the
Mount" is the same old story, but it has
not lost it's truth, nor fragrance with the
lapse Of 1900 years. There was no "vul-
garism," old or new, in that masterful
address at La Fiesta park. The Express
makes no votes for its cause nor favor
for itself by trying to condemn Bryan's
speech as vulgar.
Stay with your feet on the ground,
friends. Keep your head cool and your
heart pure, as Mr. Bryan did. Discuss
these questions calmly, fairly, logically.

A SECOND BRYAN EDITION

The special edition that The Herald pub
lished Tuesday morning, giving verbatim
reports of Mr.. Bryan's speeches and a
number of valuable articles on the future
of bimetallism, was sold out within TWEEN
ty-four hours after leaving the press. The
Herald yesterday printed a second edition,
which is now on sale. AS this will be the
last chance to secure a permanent record
of the memorable day, no time should be
lost in ordering copies.
