tatamount to acceptance OF the offer OF
Intervention by the United States in the
conflict so long in progress between the
people of Cuba and the Spanish govern
ment said Tomas Estrada Palma, chief
OF the Cuban junta in this city, to an
Associated Press reporter to-day.
"As the administration believes that
peace IN Cuba can be restored only by
political Intervention It cannot reject the
favorable opportunity that thus presents
itself 10 intervene for the purpose OF end
ing the war In Cuba" continued Dr.
Palma. 1.-THE deplorable condition OF the
concentrates has been caused by the
cruel warfare waged by Spain and the
government, finding Itself unable to re-
llepe the situation, has applied 10 the
United States for aid. President Nc
Kinley must see by now that there Is no
chance for peace to be established in
Cuba without Intervention, and living UP
TO hls word, as given in his previous mes
sages, must intervene and Spain cannot
nationally aud consistently reject such
Intervention"
Coming down to the relief plan itself,
DR.. Palma sald: "If the American people
are willing to help the concentrates they
should send no money. Food, clothing.
and the like. but no money--that would
be the best plan to follow out Money

TAKING EDUCATION

If law should be passed by congress
to tax all the schools and colleges in the
country, beginning with Yale. Harvard,
Ann Arbor, Princeton, and so on through
the whole list, for the benefit of the gen.
eral government, there would be roar
of indignation that no Republican
sophistry could suppress. Yet that is
practically what the new tariff bill pro-
poses. Even more than that, for certain
text books cannot be bought unless i'm
ported and the new measure will not
permit of any foreign book-foreign his
tory, foreign language, foreign maps
without a grievous imposition.
The United States has boasted, and
with good reason, of its free schools,
that have placed knowledge within the
reach of ALL as free as the air we
breathe and the blue sky we look upon.
A heavy infringement on the national
pride will be caused if Mr.. Dlngley and
his friends entirely succeed Is such an
issue to come from the party that has
so long claimed the intelligence NOR
ality and decency of the country?

THE ADVANCE IN SUGAR

The Associated Press service yesterday
conveyed this bit of intelligence to all
readers of newspapers in the country.
"All hard grades of refined sugar ad-
vanced 1 cent today, and the principal
soft grades from Il to u Of cent. This
is the third advance that has been made
this week, and is said to be due to the
change in the tariff law"
LosAngelesall grades of sugar were
marked up u of a cent yesterday. This
is the fourth advance in ten days. High
tariff protection people will have it that
the foreign producer pays the tax i'm
posed on imports into this country. Now,
the cost OF sugar are attributed by all
sane people to the prospect of the Ding
ley bills becominga law and imposing a
tax on sugars, both raw and refined,
which of the great tariff statisticians
will undertake the task of tracing those
advances back to the pockets of the
Cuban and German producers of the
sugar?
Every householder or other consum-
er in Los Angeles is already paying
more for his sugar, in view of this pro-
vision of the new tariff bill, which is not
yet sure to become law. Once the
Dingley bill passes the senate. the great
sugar trust, created and fostered by pro-
tective duties, will proceed to collect
still larger taxes from the people of this
country, and not even the late lamented
juggler, Mr.. Hermann. would be able
to make it seem that this money comes
from the pockets of foreign producers
Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio is great at fig
ures. Perhaps he can show how the
American consumer is enriched by dear
sugar and how foreigners pay this tax

AN EvENER FOR THE TAX
BURDEN

There are some things in regard to a
protective tariff that few Republicans
realize. One is that when you produce
a surplus Of any commodity, the Liver
pool price fixes the price of the whole
product.
Let US look at the articles we export
every year and see what infant indus
tries need protection. We export agri-
cultural implements, animals, bread
stuffs, carriages, horse and railroad cars.
coal, copper ore and copper manufac-
lures, raw cotton, manufactured cot
ton. apples, hops. iron and steel manu-
features, leather, manufactures of par
affine, paraffine wax, beef products, hog
products. oleomargarine, dairy products,
distilled spirits, and vegetables.
There are others, but these are the
principal ones. Can any of these, by any
stretch of the imagination, be consid-
cred infant industries?
The only way to protect an export is
to pay a bounty, but when we are as well
able to take care of ourselves as we are
today, we have no need of bounties We
have had an illustration of the bounty
in the sugar business. The farmer took
the bulk of the risk in buying the land
of the sugar company and raising the
beets. Then the protected infant indus
try took the lions share of the bounty
and was glad.
Protect our infant Industries If we
have any, and raise revenue from our
luxuries. Use the income tax and the
other tax the way the farmers work
their horses. They give the strong
horse the short end of the evener and he
must do the most work. Stop indirect
taxation and tax each man directly for
his share Of the cost Of government.

LOS ANGELES THEATER-The Sec
ond night of Miss Georgia Cayvan's en-
gagement was devoted to Mary PEN
nington, Spinster," a charming little
three-act comedy-drama with a thread
of social interest, and written in dainty
English which is adequately interpreted
by a company singularly well chosen
and admirably fitted for the purpose.
The development of the slight plot
shows how a woman whose education
has been on lines of business and whose
character is strong on the plane of Sc
rious motives, inclining her to theo-
rize on the inequality of the sexes, lands
herself in difficulties through following
too closely the practical development of
Utopian notions. The change In her
ideas when love really dawns upon her.
and the complications that ensue when
the cup of happiness which is just at her
lips is dashed away for time, form a
most interesting piece of character
study. Miss Cayvan handles this deli
cate work with the f1nesse of an accom-
plished artist One ray the more, one
shade the less, as the poet remarks,
would have impaired the perfect balance
of the personation. 1t was tender, SYM
pathetic, frank and womanly to de-
gree that inspired the deepest admira-
llOH lOT tHt tdlttt that COuiQ oO aoiy
delineate q difficult role; and to this
must be added the recognition of GER
tain magnetism that imparts to all of the
fair actress work q charm that is as
rare as it is delightful.
Mr.. Orrin Johnson who takes the part
of the working partner in the mill busi-
ness, round which the story revolves,
has too much ability as an actor to be
allowed to spoil the character he as
sumes without being told of it's chief de-
fects. In a word, Mr.. Johnson does not
look the part. If he would for once sac
rifice his elegant wardrobe to some ex-
tent and look less like drawing room
darling and more like a hardworking
mill owner who has risen from the ranks
and is not yet rich, a man IN fact who
has no time to attend to the fashionable
crease of his trousers, but whose mind
would be intent upon business. he would
produce a better impression.
The old doctor was delightful, and lit
tie Miss Jerroid scored O. veritable tri-
umph by the clever way in which she
delineated the serious young girl
brought up as blue stocking and devei-
oping into an admirable specimen OF
normal girl-just girl, without affecta-
tions and with her heart full of love for
the uniformed but wholesome young
fellow who falls honestly In love with
her
The play has feminine OF the Rose
Coghlan-Jeffries Lewis type, but she
happens to be rich, and though she has

ter, and leaves a strong impression OF

On the goth ult in the house of repre-
sentatives, Congressman Barlow intro
duced a bill to reimburse excessive de-
mands from pre-emption and home
stead settlers on annulled railroad sub
sidy grants.
Mr.. Barlow was also busy on the 22d
ult.. when he introduced the following
bill to repeal an act entitled AN act
TO repeal timber lands, and for other
purposes. The text of Mr.. Barlow's 8
bill is as follows:
Be it enacted by the senate and house
of representatives of the United states
of America, in congress assembled, That
the act of congress approved March 3D.
1891 entitled 'An act to repeal timber
laws, and for other purposes" be, and
is hereby repealed, and all lands so re-
served under the said law of 1881 by
proclamation of the president of the
United States or otherwise. be, and are
hereby, returned to the public domain,
and thrown open to homestead settle

eral land laws of the United States.

in conflict herewith are hereby repealed
and this act shall take effect from the

A BRIGHT ExEMPLAE

The South Carolina legislature has
passed an income tax bill, together with
insurance license, insurance deposit an
THRUST measure, and bicycle baggage
bills. The income tax law, starting with
a tax of l per cent on incomes of s25O0
increases the tax until it reaches per
cent on incomes of SIS, 900 and over. The
insurance license law imposes an addi-
tional license on insurance companies
in accordance with the amount of busi-
ness they do-a graduated license. The
insurance deposit measure requires all
foreign insurance companies, those not
chartered in the state, to deposit $40 900
in valid securities with the treasurer of
the state before they can do business

A NEGLECTED INDUSTRY

While it is undoubtedly true that the
beet sugar industry is one that is des-
tined to afford comfortable incomes to
thousands of our agriculturists, there
is another and a still sweeter article,
that has never suffered from over-pro-
duction, and probably never will. When
it becomes generally understood that
honey is one Of the most healthful lux
uries in existence, the demand will more
rapidly increase.
The entire state of California offers
field that is unequaled by any other
state in the union, and already the busi-
ness has reached proportions that seem
enormous by comparisons-about 500
carloads year. When 1t is taken into
consideration that the original cost of
entering upon a successful business as
keeper of an apiary is but trifling, the
wonder is that there are not more bee
farmers.

at Cotton and for sometime the town

Rernardino. My friend l.. c. Waite ar
rived at Riverside as early as 1877, the
same year that my father and uncle

Permit me to add in closing a few
words of praise for the early settlers OF
Riverside. If ever people exhibited more
pluck, energy and perseverance nave
vet to hear of it. During the hrst ten
years of Riverside, from 1871 to 1881, 1t
was constant struggle, as scarcely any
thing was raised to sell except q rev
thousand boxes of raisins. Several times
the settlement was on the verge OF col
lapse, but when the famous navel or
ange came into bearing there was an
end to the experimental period and Hiv-
erside was placed on a firm basis:

"Hardship" and relief must now be re-
stricted to a more respectable class OF
unfortunates. Only last week certain Of
the shadowed population were detected
in the act Of swindling by the supreme
court of the United States. They were
magnificent operators, extending their
operations into the millions, and hence
too respectable for the ordinary felonious
accountability. There were no arrests,
no penalties, only just the grave assur-
ance that the felony would not longer
be permitted to masquerade under the
sanction Of contractual law.
Now these gentry say they have suf-
fered a great hardship. and they cry
aloud for relief. They own and control
vast incorporated instrumentalities.
through which their contraband enter
prise was effected. They revel in the
enjoyment of power and wealth, such as
the private citizens of any country have
never before enjoyed on a like scale in
the whole history of the world. They
could eliminate from their business en-
terprses every unlawful and every
criminal auxiliary and still enjoy fabu-
lous accumulation of profits. But they
will not. There are still producers to be
robbed, and go the work must go on.
They are to be relieved from the burden
imposed by the exercise of common
honesty, and public servant represent
ing the state of Ohio in the United
States senate is available to recognize
the hardship and to prepare the charita-
BILE measure of relief.
The right is to be given common car
riers to pool their earnings ,and compe-
tition will become thing Of the past
Congress will be asked to say to the
farmer and to the laborer and the con-
sumer: 1.-THE combinations Of the past
have made your yoke heavy, but I will
add to your yoke in perpetuity." And
this is the voice that was to ring in the
glad tidinge of the new prosperity. and
such is the only vitalizing sentiment. An
act that will relieve the carriers must
be one that will increase their earnings,
and every dollar of the increase must be
drawn from the substance of impover-
ished labor The riddle which the peo-
pie are called upon to solve is when and
how is this eternal encroachment to be

Riverside's Early History

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Her
aid: Permit me to correct your River
side correspondent when he says, as he
did in this mornings Herald, that xiv
erside had no existence as town IN
1875
The town of Riverside in 1875 contained
at least two good general stores, post
office. express office, two churcnes'
blacksmith and wagon shop. drugstore,
hotel, livery stable, shoe shop, school
house and, I think, two saloons; there
must have been 300 people in the town
and 600 in the valley. In the election that
year the precinct cast Ill votes. A daily
stage ran via Riverside from Spadra
(and of s. p. r. R.) to San Bernar-
dino.
During the winter of 1s74-75 the first
brick building was built in Riverside by
B. d. Burt & Bro. which Is still occu-
pied by them at the corner Of Main and
Seventh streets. The second brick build
ing was erected IN 1875 on the opposite
corner of Seventh street. 1t was during
this year also that s. c. Evans became
interested in Riverside. Judge J. WI
North was at the head of affairs and
remained so until the entire control
passed into the hands Of Evans and as
sociates.
In the fall of 1875 the first newspaper
was printed by r. A. Davis, jr., OF San
Bernardino, and called the News. 1t
was a small four-page sheet, five col
umns to the page, and printed one page
at a time on an old-fashioned Ruggles
lob press. The next year the paper was
enlarged to seven columns and adopted
a "patent outside" Its death occurred
about the beginning Of 1878, and River
side was without paper for six months.
