RAPHAEL MERRILL,
A Fallen Idol

To the Editor Of the Los Angeles
Herald: Alas! our idol has fallen. He
whom we had revered as our heaven-sent
apostle of equality and Democracy is
an apostate to his early faith and wor-
ships at the shrine of that tinsel god
dess, social standing"
He is already our councilman, he
might have been our mayor; but now
what confidence can we have in one who
openly and unblushingly declares HIM
self ready to forget those Democratic
principles he so loud and long has ad-
vocated and those laws he swears to
obey, provided those Of social stand
ing" are injured by "colored" citi-
zens? admit the difficulties Mr. Hutch
ison, as a "southerner." encounters In
striving after consistency, and would
suggest that in view of saving our ex-
ecutive officers similar difficulties we

THE LATCH STRING OUT

1t is announced, through the Associ-
ated Press, that, if congress adjourns
in time, it is pretty we'll decided upon
that President Mckinley will visit Salt
Lake July 2S, and may conclude to ex-
tend his trip so as to include California.
The Herald hopes that President Nc
Kinley will be able to visit this state.
and that Los Angeles may have the
opportunity to welcome him. The head
Of the nation will receive no more cordial
greeting anywhere.
Politics is not to be considered upon
an occasion like the visit of President
and the Democrats Of Los Angeles will
assist in welcoming the executive head
of the nation should he decide to visit
the coast. 1t would be pleasant COIN
cidence and double honor to be able
to entertain within few weeks of each
other Mr.. Mckinley and his great rival,
William j. Bryan.
Should the president extend his trip
to the coast it is to be taken for granted
that he will personally investigate the
merits of the San Pedro harbor question.
Then perhaps he will go back and turn
down Secretary Alger.

simple case Of working girl being as
saulted, then let the law run its course;
but when 1t is a woman 'of character
and standing" assaulted by "black
brute" then upon the standing" ami
"color" being proved let the prisoner be
delivered to the mob, always provided,
of course, there is mob. 1t would also
be we'll to stipulate that the mob must
be of a certain size and of "our best cit
izens," both items to be certified to by
AFFIDAVIT.
Sheriffs and mayors in Justice must
have some settled rule to act upon. AS
it is now they are between two fires. II
they give UP the prisoner they violate
their oaths Of office. If they defend hin,
they take the chances of being forever
after reviled at as butchers of their
fellow townsmen." There seems one
thing certain, and that is the mayor
should be consistent in whatever policy
he decides upon. He either should give
up the man on demand or he should
draw up his troops and order them to
fire ON Ibis fellow townsmen and best
citizens" until they disperse.
The Urbana plan Of at first resisting
the mob and then. after killing off half
a dozen, to surrender the prisoner has
nothing to recommend it, 1t is the epit-
ONE of weakness and irresolution.

General Lee and by Mr.. Calhoun vii
abundantly establish this position In Its
every detail.
In view Of this fact It 10 safe to pre-
dict that Cuba will soon be free and that
there will not be any exchange of per-
cussion compliments between the
United States and Spain. either upon
land or sea- The settlement will be
purely a mater Of bargain and sale, and
Mr.. Sherman, being skillful lawyer.
will draw up the papers. The Cubans
are anxious to buy. and they can readily
float loan, either in New York or in
London. that will enable them to pay
any reasonable demand as the price OF
their independence. OF course Spain
would not be reasonable II left to her
self to fix the amount Of such demand,
but just here is the point at which the
ultimatum will apply the necessary
pressure to ensure settlement.
The herald., 1897-06-12
AN ULTIMATUM

Our accommodating secretary of state
Is said to be just now engaged in the
work Of preparing an ultimatum to be
sent to Spain. Secretary Sherman does
not emit his greatest fuorescence in the
drudgery of this particular sphere. An
utimatum is usually very serious
thing and always suggests a physical
clash, and the secretary, unlike his dis
tinguished brother who did so much for
the history of his day, is very timid in
matter would not brook further delay
or temporizing.
The facts so long known to the public
that American citizens were being tor
tured and murdered by the Spanish
soldiery upon the island, having been
officially established, there remains but
the one course open to the administra-
tion, and that course is an ultimatum.
That the government of Spain has
been expecting this crisis is apparent
from the attitude taken by Minister de
LONE upon receiving official informa-
ton that the state department was
about to submit a final vote offering
mediation on the basis of the independ-
ence of Cuba. This polite representative
of his government was most happy to
give the assurance that the sending of
such a note would not be construed by
Spain as an unfriedly act
In order to remove the Spariard from
his perch with as little shock to his petty
dignity as possible, the ultimatum will
recite the facts which make this course
necessary, in effect: that Spain has not
the actual control of the island; that
she is impotent to protect the lives or
property Of American citizens there and
that she has violated her treaty obliga
tions in dealing with the lives, liberty
and property of American citizens in
Cuba. The data furnished by Consul

Semi-Centennial Celebration

We quite agree with the suggestion of
the Herald, that a semi-centennial ex-
hibition should be held in Los Angeles
of the discovery of gold in California,
which occurred on the 9th January, 1S4S,
at Sutter Fort. 1t was an event in the
history of the world, and the produc-
ton of gold Immediately thereafter was
most remarkable known in modern
times. California is the greatest gold
producing state in the nation, and it is
fitting that its discovery in considerable
quantity should be CONNIE morated, and
it should be in this city, as it is the most
active and enterprising place on the Pa
cific coast. Under the policy now pre-
vailing, gold possesses more power than
any other material produced by nature,
and it will maintain its pre- eminence
until silver is accordede position which
it deserves.-Journal of Mining and
Metallurgy

START RIGHT

"A great deal of noise Is being made
Just now about the Chinese lottery evil
so prevalent in this city. The chief OF
police has presented a long report tell
ing how 1t has not been abated. Col
umns have been written about it, and
Everybody" agrees that an end should
be put to the demoralizing business.
The evil cannot be abated, no matter
how much may be said or done, unless
the crusade against it is begun in the
right place. The right place is in the
district attorneys office. This paper has
maintained that by tacit understand
ing between that Office and the lottery
people the law is virtually turned into
a licensing machine. When the fine in
cases of conviction is not over $40 the
gamblers pay and do not appeal, the
city secures revenue and the gamblers
practical immunity.
The district attorney has maintained
in excuse of this policy that it would be
impossible to secure the conviction Of a
Chinese gambler by a jury. He asserts
further that it is not his business to
prosecute the cases; that the city and
its officials have sole jurisdiction and
that the custom of having a deputy
from the district attorneys office de-
tailed to prosecute cases pertaining to
the city is merely a custom that has
sprung up, and an imposition upon the
county.
But Mr. Donnell valves his claim
when he says that he is willing to send
a deputy to the police court for month
to prosecute the lottery offenders. Let
him be taken at his word. Let the dis
trict attorneys office and the police de-
partment cooperate together in thor
ough. earnest crusade against the lot
terry evil. Let them provide for jury tri-
ais, the juries to be composed of reputa-
BILE business men, who will decide ac-
cording to the testimony submitted, and
inflict the full punishment of the law
where convictions are secured In this
way the abatement of the evil may be
secured.

issue as to the San Pedro harbor con-
tract, and will charge that Secretary
Alger has acted under Huntingdon s

THE SUGAR DANCE

| The sugar schedule of the senate tariff
bill has been reached at last, and there
is every evidence that there Is to be d
bitter struggle over it. That the force
of public opinion is felt, even in the SEN
ate, is shown by the withdrawal yester-
day of the original senate COMMITTEES
amendment to the house bill. This leaves
the house provisions of the bill. with
an amendment increasing the house dif-
ferential from S75-1000 to s5-100 cent
per pound. The provision relating to the
treaty with Hawaii went over by mu-
tual consent There is doubtless big
fight ahead in this quarter.
The withdrawal Of the senate amend
ments indicate nothing in particular,
so far as it may be judged at this dis
tance. 1t is a mere shifting Of ballast
to accommodate the new conditions and
features that have been caused by the
open war against the senate committee 5
complaisant acquiescence in the wishes
of the officials of the sugar trust. Pos
sibly chance is to be afforded for Il
little more speculation, with quiet tip
to those on the inside.
To say this is not to speak without
the bounds of probability nor in blind
partisanship. March 5, when Mr. Nc
Kinley called an extra session to pass
tariff bill. sugar stock ranged from
1151z to 118A, and 160,2 ,210 shares were sold
during the week March 10
March 22-31 the tariff bill was debated
and passed with the sugar schedule in
tact Over 900 shares were sold in
that week.
On May the tariff bill was reported
from the senate committee to the senate
with a schedule very favorable to the
trust. Sales for the week Of May 3-S
amounted to 164. 1893 shares, and the quo
tations ranged from 11Sa to lisa wide
variation.
During the week of May 1915 polls Of
the senate for and against the schedule
were published. Sales went down to
1ls,259 shares, and prices ranged from
112H to 116k.
On May 17-mark the date-Broke,
Chapman went to Jail, and Havemeyer
and SearleS were called for trial. The
spectators got scared and prices anl
the public took a tumble together. Dur
ing the week Of May 1922 only 49,2Sf
shares were sold, and quotations ranged
from 1925 to ia.
Then came a change. The Have
meyer trial was begun with the apparent
certainty that he would be acquitted.
Senator Aldrich. the godfather and
grandmotherlot the sugar trust in the
senate, opened the tariff debate in tha:
body and defended the sugar schedule.
Sales for that week, May 24-29, jumped
to 1882 shares. and prices ranged up
ward, from 113 to 1853.
Ex-senator ingalls, said of the senate
sugar schedule that it would add not
less than $40, 900, 900 to the already extor.
tionate gains Of the trust" but the su-
gar market, as we'll as the sugar tariff
schedule, affords opportunities to make
money, of which several of the senators
seem to have taken advantage Very
large sums must have been realized by
those on the inside, from the wide vari-
ations and heavy trading.
What the end will be nobody but the
officials of the sugar trust and the Re-
publican managers. debt-payers-in-
chief to the grand old party, can tell.
