A WONDER IF TRUE

According to a report from Chicago,
ca pitalists OF that city and New York
have organized the Imperial Glucose
and Sugar Refining company to COM
pete with the glucose trust. Can it be
possible that in these latter days cap
italists have organized to fight a trust
and restore competition to activity
which has been strangled nigh unto
death by combina ton? If this be
true, it will be in, order to exclaim, "Wili
wonders never cease?"
Trusts and combinations have become
so numerous that it may be there is not
standing room for any more; that in
order to establish new enterprises it is
necessary to make war to gain a status,
even at the risk of giving dominatio
to competition, which is hea,thful
regulation of trade and an effective pro-
lection against monopoly.
BY their owsb conduct capitalists have
raised up enemies who have given them
a great amount of trouble. The dispo-
sition to monopolize has done more than
anything else to promote the growth of
Socialism. A trust is limited TO social
ism, a combination to promote the mu-
tual interests of the parties to It. Men

THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS

important elections will take place in
several states Of the union in November
next. Ohio, Iowa, Massachusetts and
virginia choose governors; Kentucky
elects clerk Of the court of appesls.
Pennsylvania will choose a state treas
urer and auditor; Nebraska will elect
judge or the supreme court and the
state of New York a new assembly and
chief judge Of the court of appeals.
while Greater New York will decide an
already spirited if not fierce contest for
mayor of that city.
Mainly on account of Mr.. Hanna's
candidacy to succeed himself in the
United States senate, public attention
centers upon the contest in Ohio, both
the leading parties fighting the battle
in that state largely on national issues
In point Of fact, the Mckinley admins
tration is upon trial in the Buckeye
state, Mr.. Hanna being virtually the
locum teneps and good man Friday of
the president. In fact, Hanna confessed
as much from the platform when with
Senator Foraker he opened the cam
paign in Ohio apparently not for Hanna
but for the Republican party" A
stranger to the situation might easily
believe from Mr.. Hanna's remarks or,
that occasion that it was Mckinley who
was running for the senate and not the
great train dispatcher of the presiden-
tial campaign of 1896, Marcus A. Hanna.
After pronouncing la bored eulogium Of
my friend Mckinley" Mr.. Ham a s.
opening speech, among other things,
declared: Therefore, appear before
you today not as a candidate for the
United States senate, but as a Repub-
lican, to plead with you that you take
your stand by this administration,
which is your salvation
1t must be confessed that Mr.. Hanna
cut but sorry figure on the occasion in,

found respect for the United States SEN

mer status as the amphictyonic council
of the nation, where statesmen. jurists 8
and scholars met to decide great oues-
tions of state. They want it purged OF
vulgarity and illiteracy. They desire the
money changers who infest its once

ernment, and for the personal ag-

BEATEN AT THEIR OWN GAME

Henry George, and not Mr.. Van Wyck,
is the Democratic nominee for mayor of
Greater New York. The Democratic
party of New York city and the United
States as whole is firm and unyielding
in its adherence to the Chicago plat
form, and especially in the demand for
the free and unlimited coinage of silver.
These two facts have been clearly
brought out by the expressions on the
part of the Democratic national commit
teemer. A few of the committeeman
hold that Tammany is the real Demo-
cratic party. This view is inspired sole
ly by their single gold standard opin-
ions
Even if Mr.. George Is not elected he
will not have been nominated in vain;
he will not have fought the good fight for
nothing. The New York city campaign
comes just a the time when, deluded or
encouraged by the prosperity shouts
with which the administration howlers
are rending the air, the allied goldbugs
have once more raised the cry
that "silver is dead" Not all
the talking Of the friends of
silver in the west could have done
would have shown the actual situation
in its true light as clearly and as forci-
bly, as the nomination Of Mr.. George and
the progress of the New York city cam
paign have done.
When we have righteous cause, it
pays to stick to our colors. The gold
bugs themselves forced the issue They
asserted that silver should not be made
local issue so that they could point
to its absence in the campaign as prima
facie evidence that bimetallism is a
lost cause. They over-reached them
selves and got beaten at their own game.

SATURDAY., OCTOBER 16, 1897.
"LEGALIZING" A SWINDLE

Yesterday morning the district attor-
ney furnished Sheriff Burr with writ
ten opinion to the effect that the instru-
ment known as a wheel of fortune" is
not an unlawful device within the mean
ing Of the law, and therefore the sheriff
would not be justified in prohibiting the
game conducted with it.
The nominal effect of the opinion is to
give the gamblers the same protection
that Justice Morrison extended to the
tape game swindlers. 1t is bad enough
to see the law itself defed without hav
ing the officials elected TO enforce the
law siding with those who violate it.
The Herald does rot propose to argue
with District Attorney Donpell as TO
whether the wheel of fortune" is an
unlawful gambling device. Every body
with sound judgment knows 1t Is such a
thing. Everybody knows that it is
favorite device with CROOKED" gam
blers. Everybody knows that it is
swindling device as much as tape game
is swindling device. 1t is, in fact, one
Of the very worst gambling schemes
practiced, because it is quick OF opera
ton. cheap to play and enticing in man
ner.
And the district attorney does not
think it Is an unlawful device! How in
nocent, how childlike, is our district at
torney!
When the fair was in operation year
ago, the sheriff waged successful war
against the gamblers, and the wheel of
fortune was one Of the interdicted
games. Has the law been changed since
then? Is the wheel any less an unlawful
device than it was then?
The Herald has several times of late
voiced the growing feeling that the law
Is being perverted to the uses of its vio-
lators and the protection of the criminal
rather than for the protection Of society
and the punishment of the criminal The
situation is greatly aggravated when
the sworn officials of the law elected by
the suffrages of the people use the au-
thority conferred upon them in the in
terest of offenders against the law and
against society.
In the matter Of the tape games the
police department proceeded against the
games in spite of the urfavorable deci-
sion Of Justice Morrison. The result was
that the games closed and have since
remained closed. Sheriff Burr would be
justified in refusing to permit the wheel
Of fortune" swindles to operate at the
fair ground or any where else in the
county for that matter. If he does take
that course and sticks to it, the gamblers
will come out second best. In the mean
time we shall know where the district
attorneys office stands with relation to
the gambling evil-and the gamblers.

grandzement of the conspirators. And
they find in Mr. Hanna's opening speech
Of the Ohio campaign nothing to encour-
age their desires in this behalf. If Mr.
Hanna is rejected by the Ohio legisla-
ture next November the country-even
the Republican party, we have reason
to beleve-will not go into mourning.
The contest in New York will grow
more interesting day by day. Politics
in that state are complicated political
parties split up into factions to such a
degree as to knock all predictions for the
one or the other into hopeless smither-
eens. But the readers of The Herald
may rest assured that this paper will
keep them fully informed of the several
contests in the several states as the bat
tie wakes fiercer and the self-devoted
and patriotic candidates for office
Rush to glory or the grave"

George and the Party

The Los Angeles Herald takes issue
with the Mails declaration that Henry
George is not the regular Democratic
nominee for mayor of Greater New
York. We are bound to confess that
the poll of the national and state Demo-
cratic committees gives a strong color
of right to the claim of the George men
that he is the regular candidate. Yet
the stubborn facts remain that the
Tammany organization is the only
Democratic organization officially rec
ognzed by the party committees. Until
the national committee again meets to
pass upon the question at issue, certainly
Tammany remains in possession of the
regular title. And we know that Mr.
George only got his name on the ticket
by petition.
1t is true that thirteen of the twenty
members of the national committee and
eight of the twelve members of the
New York state committee polled have
unofficially stated the belief that Mr..
George is the regular candidate, but
The Herald knows, Of course, that the
unanimous unofficial declarations of
both committees could not change the
status of the case. Until the commit
tees in regular session recognize the al
lied Democracy, Tammany remains the
regular orga nization in the city. AgAd
it is certain that the courts would prop
erly hold that none but Tammany's
nomin ees can go upon the ticket as
regular Democratic nominees.
We yield to no man living in pro-
found admiration and respect for Mr..
Georges character and abilities. He is
empha tcally great man. We Shall
wear no mourning IL he chances 10 be
elected mayor. But we believe in party
organization, within reasonable bounds.
And we know that had not Mr.. George
appeared as candidate the defeat Of
the Republican candidate and the con-
troll of Greater New York by the regu-
lar Democratic orga nization would sure
| ly have beer compassed. AS it is, we
expect the election of General Tracy.
the cos.trol of the city by the Repub,i-
can machine, and, the hardest uphill
fight In the next presidential campaign
that the Democracy has had in years.
Our admiration for Mr.. George as a
man does not blind us to the danger In
which he has placed the party. Nor dc
we forget, amid, all the torrent of abuse
let loose upon Tammany. that that or
ganization loyalty stood by Mr.. Bryan

Well versed is he in all those ways con-

To comfort where least comfort can be
found:
He turns the seat unasked, yet unobtrusive
His little deeds of thoughtfuness abound;
Is glad to please you, or to have you please

Yet takes it very calmly If you freeze him.
He smoothes the Jove-like frown of some

True modesty he knows from artificial;

And if you are, be sure that he detects you
And if you're not, be sure that he respects

The longest session was that Of 1890
which began the first Monday of De-
cember, 1889, and closed Oct. G. 1890. II
was the one in which the Mckinley
tariff and the Sherman silver pur-

length began on the first Monday of
December. 1S49, and ended Sept 26, 1850
This session was prolonged by the con-

of which was the admission of Califor-

The insolence and arrogance Of Repub-

illustrated in the conduct of the admin
