In one afternoon, the day after the
San Diego chamber withdrew its support
from the local display, there were by
actual count twenty-five special demands
for matter relating to San Diego county.
OF course these demands cannot be
supplied II San Diego county does not
provide the material. Neither will 1t be
pleasant to look upon the magnificent
chamber of commerce display and re-
fleet that there is nothing there from San
Diego county.
1t Is but few months since the super
visors of Riverside county concluded to
economize by Withdrawing from the Los
Angeles chamber Of commerce display,
when such roar of disaproval went up
from all over Southern California, par
ticularly from Riverside county, that
the Objectionable action OF the supervis-
ors was quickly rescinded.
Surely San Diego will reconsider, and
the sooner the better.

to pay taxes, no attempt has been made
to reduce salaries, and very little to ap-
preciably lessen the expenses of govern
ment The last legislature of this state
was reckless with regard to the public
interests, and though Clerk Duckworth
numbered up the pay rolls, the lower
house refused to expel him because the
majority Of the members were parties
to his offense.
The question is. when will there be
reform? The answer is, not till the peo-
pie reform themselves. officials will
keep on doing as they have done until
they are taught to. have a fear of those
who bear the burdens of government
When it becomes known that the people
are watchful and are certain to admin
ister condign punishment to delinquents
there will be less official misconduct, and
if they persist in administering their
vengeance, official crime and delinquency

GORMAN THE GOOSE

Senator German Is very shrewd pol.
itician. He is about the last man, in thu
world any one who knows him well
would think of comparing to a senseless
goose. Yet at the Democratic convep-
ton Of his state the other day he played
the part of a goose, and of wild goose
at that.
At the time the Wilson tariff bill was
before the senate, Mr.. German was the
leader Of those who LAY down" at the
dictation Of the sugar trust, and Of all
the other monopoly infamies. His handi-
work and that of his colleagues made a
pretty mess of the Democratic tariff
measure. and tore the party asunder
from Maine to Texas.
Last fall he once more went away
on wrong course, with flock of his
own kind behind him, when he bolted
the Chicago platform and proceeded to
help elect the author of the tariff bill of
1890 to the presidency.
When the party convention met at
Baltimore the other day, Mr.. German
and his flock began to find out where
they were at" They were in the plight
of flock of wild geese flying over a
wilderness of woods, with ridiculous
little pond of water to light on. Did you
ever see a flock of geese trying to get
down on a handbreadth of water? It
is a difficult and perilous task. Mr. Cor
man and his birds found 1t so, and the
result of the awkward effort Is that there
is hardly a whole pinion in all the flock
of political geese.
The platform Is the basest surrender
of principles ever put before any intelli-
gent body of men. Shifty on every point,
vacillating in every phrase, weak in
each plank and mos. loosely put to-
gether, it can carry the party to nothing
but defeat.
There are other political wild geese
who have been in the sky since last fall,
who, like Mr. German, will try to light
on the first little patch of water that
comes under their eye. They will find
the same difficulties and will come to the
same unhappy results as Senator Cor
man.

GOING SLOW

I'd take her out to dances,
Shed ask me round to tea,
And often up the Riverside
She'd go to drive with me.
Thus through flirtations mazes
She led me quite chase.
And all the people in our set
Agreed Now there's a easel"
And yet somehow the matter
Neer to a climax came,
Il was really 10th to end it,
1t was such a jolly gameD
So when my friends remarked to me,
''Old chap. you're rather slow!"
1 merely pulled at my mustache
And said, "Oh, l don't know!'
And SO let things drift along
Till-to my lasting shame
A rival older far than
(And likewish richer) came.
In vain 1 strove brace to take.
That old bond-holding cove
In less than no time cut me out
And married her, by Jove!
The fellows guyed me fearfully,
And jeered, This is a go!
He left you at the post, old MANI.
drawled, "Oh, don't know!'
Her husband died. 1 lost no time
In offering consolation,

I'm sure in all creationD
I called TO see her daily,

She accepted my coincidence
And in time accepted me.
And when folks said 81 hear he lef,
A million cool or so!'
I dropped one eyelid, rubbed my chin,
And said, "Oh. l don't know!'

Quickest Way to Revive Business

Iron Producing in the South

Fifteen years ago, when observant and
far-seeing men predicted that the south
would some day be the gre attest iron
producing region of the continent they
were considered wild. The lapse of a
decade has gone far toward justifyins G
that prophecy. There are regions in the
south where the conditions for the man
ufacture of iron are superior to any that
can be found elsewhere. These unrl-
vailed natural advantages are being de
veloped on a scale that will soon push
southern iron further forward and add
immensely to the prosperity and wealth

FRIDAY, AUGUST 8, 1897.
OUR BURDENS OF TAXATION

We have no monarch with numerous
no great army, nor very large navy,
yet the expenses of government in its
entirety are greater in this than in any
other civilized country. Our govern
ment is dual; more than that, we have
national, state. municipal, county, and,
in some Of the states, township govern
ment. We expend more in taking care
of the criminal and unfortunate elements
than any other people.
The census of 1890 shows that we had
in prison $4,000 inmates Of juvenile re-
formatories; in almshouses 1000 and in
benevolent institutions 112000. The
criminal did not include those in the
jails who had been sentenced for misde-
meanors, nor those awaiting trial. Ex-
penditures in the police department of
the many hundred cities are enormous,
Besides, our school system is ubiquitous
and the cost of our educational systems
exceeds that of any other country, be-
cause they provide for more nearly uni
versal education than in any other coun-
try except Germany.
We have forty-five state governors
plete government machinery beyond
that of the general government. Our
municipal and county governments are
complete within themselves and both are
costly institutions.
When all these are taken into consid-
Grafton. the tremendous expense of gov
ernment becomes apparent. 1t is tax
alton here, there and everywhere. This
accumulated burden is beyond what is
generally realized. 1t is Of the highest
Importance, therefore, that there should
be the greatest economy on the part OF
officials of every grade and class, and
the utmost vigilance on the part Of the
people in enforcing it. If the people
depend on their own exertions or it will
not be done. The trouble is, our people
are negligent in choosing legislators who
alone can secure simplicity of system
government. The system is needlessly
expensive, to say nothing of the stealing
that is known to exist
The people have been so lax in regard
to public affairs (and they are those in
which every man is interested) that an
ambition has been developed to hold Of
flee, not for the honor il confere, but
for the money there is in it, This am
bition perfectly consists with the de-
sire 50 universally developed to get
money, il not in the ordinary way, then
in ways of questionable honesty OFF,
cials are quite apt to reflect the charac-
ter of the people who place them in
power. a stream can never rise above
its source. A public official may rise
above the character Of the voters, but
it is unusual.

the country has been passing. when
wages and prices Of property have been
low. and It has been harder than usual

Bond Issue in Prospect

The Republican leaders are now ready
to admit that new issue of bonds will
be unavoidable in order to carry the Nc
Kinley administration through the pres
ent fiscal year. and they regard the pros
pect with anything but cheerfulness.
The trouble with them is that they do
not place the blame where it belongs.
They will not admit that the cause of
the approaching embarrassment of the
administration is the fact that the Ding
ley bill rivets tariff fetters upon the limbs
of trade which will make bond issue
almost inevitable in order to meet the
obligations of the government.-Minn

wA1rE,s COLONIZATION SCHEME

It is a curious If not an interesting fact
that Ex-Governor Davis H. Waite of
Colorado, he of the bloody brides, does
not approve of the Debs colonization
scheme. He thinks it is impracticable
because it proposes to give land and
transportation to those who become a
part of it.
The fact that Mr.. Waite himself has
a colonization scheme may possibly enter
into his disapproval of the Debs idea.
The old gentleman Is going to establish
a colony in Texas. Each man will be
expected to take up five or ten acres;
the land, and after they pay for it they
will own it. They will raise fruit, but
they will not raise the characteristic and
proverbial crop of the Lone Star state
unless the old man gets elected to Office.
Then they may depend upon getting
several varieties of Hades, whether they
want them or no.
The people Of Colorado got a prize
package when they elected Waite gov
ernor of that state. Nobody had any
idea of the capacity he had for stirring
up things. He began as reformer, but
he ended as politician. Just how far
this result was his own fault, and how
much it was the fault of the advisers
with whom he surrounded himself, it is
hard to say.
The orchardist is proverbially of gen.
tie nature, and if the worm of politics
does not get into the ex-governor's crop
of ideas again, he may make a success
of his new colony. 1t will do no harm to
wish him success.
