Interest in Spanish

Tomorrow evening will occur the opening
of the evening educational classes of the
y. NJ. C. y. in the associations auditori-
um. Last year.. when the klondike fever
was epidemic, the class in mining boasted
the largest membership of them all. This
year, in like manner. the ambitions of the
young men have been influenced and guild
ed by tn great events of the time. Clerks,
artisans. carpenters and others think that
an unworked field of la Dor has been opened
to them by the capture of Manila ard
Porto Rico. To work this field they must
speak Spanish. The local Y. NJ. c. A., judg-
ing from the large increase which other
Spanish classes, and especially that at the
high school, have had. expects similar
addition to membership in its class. Some
new features have just been added to the
educational course. One of them Is a class
in the study of the violin and another in
the study of the either, conditioned upon
the appearance of enough pupils to make
these classes pay. Instructor in Shorthand

A Bicycle Rider Hurt

w. J. Findley of Azusa met with bad
accident yesterday morning on East Main
street. He had left the home of his moth
er, at 245 South Water street, East Los
Angeles, on his bicycle to ride to the court
house, as he is a witness in a water suit
now on trial there. He rode between the
car tracks, and when opposite the soap
works, north of Sotollo street, noticed a
truck and horses standing in the street
At the same time another wagon and team
approached, going north, and when in
front of the truck, turned over to the left
and crowded into Findley. He was unable
to turn out of the way and was struck
OIL the chin by the tongue of the wagon,
knocked down and his back badly
wrenched. Instead of Offering to aid the
injured man, the driver of the team
whipped up and escaped. Findley was
taken to the receiving hospital and attend
ed to by DR.. Hagan. He said he would
swear to a complaint against the driver IL
the latter could be found.

For Campaign Thunder

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald:
1 read in your yesterdays issue excerpts
from an 1894 speech by NJ. NJ. Estee. He
was then an ardent bimetallist or a con-
temptible charlatan. l think it not unfair
to conclude that he was one of the hun
dreds of thousands of Republicans who,
had the St. Louis convention in 1896 adopt
ed a bimetallic plank in its platform, would
have ruptured their throats shouting
paeons Of praise for such wise and long
promised action; but who. as it was, tore
away the mask and showed their true col
ors in coming out for British money-gold
only. doncherno?
But my principal object in writing this
Is to suggest that one Of the best campaign
documents we could formulate and send
out would be a compilation of silver
speeches made in 1894 by Mr.. Estee and
others, showing their hypocrisy then or

The Sixth Amendment

To the Editor OF the Los Angeles Herald
l desire to ask question concerning
Amendment No. 6. which IS to be voted upon
at the coming election. Said amendment
reads 80 follows: THAT the entire revenue
derived from the state school fund and
the state school tax shall be applied ex-
clusively to primary and grammar schools "
How then will our normal school be sup
ported? VIII our children not be COM
PEELED to nay In its support? If so, think
No. G will be good one to vote against.
Any information on this point will be highly
appreciated by us Of the country.

ut is not understood that the proposed
amendment cuts off the revenue of the
cormal schools, but rather that 1t Is a
movement to divert portion CT the money
now going to the primary and grammar
schools for tho benefit Of high school train

by good many authorities in educat anal
matters, and there is decided disposition
to vote 1t down.-Ed. Herald.)

The single tax man, think, believes the

of nature, the law of competition. He
wants 1t so ordered. however, that the man

How an Eastern Investor Regards It
To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald:
Anent the oil question. the writer has
just received letter from a gentleman in
Connecticut, who visited Los Angeles last
year for the first time, and was so pleased
with our city that before he returned east
he bought two improved lots fronting on
Olive street, opposite the park. paying
about $4,000, all cash, therefor. He then
decided to sell out his home and business
In the east and return here to make per-
manent home, and. with that end In view,
purchased rs feet and dwelling fronting
on Westlake park, and since added 20 feet
for which he paid s975O, making total cash
investment of about $4,000. How much

good people to prevent the ruination Of our
most thriving residence section by the oil
operators. We might easily conjecture
what impetus might be given to trade by
the coming of such men into our midst
successful business men, with ample
means to build homes and open up new
business enterprises.
This gentleman, owner Of large interests
in woolen mills bank stocks and lands in
and about Stafford. Conn.,. writes, under
date of September 26th, as follows:
l have been rather anxious about the
danger threatened the Westlake Sec
ton by the invasion of oil wells. have
faith, though, that the people will final
ly succeed in preserving this fine Sec
ton from the calamity which might
have come to 1t but for the decided ac-
tion Of the city council, and, as an In
terested party, 1 am sincerely thankful
for what has been done.
In deciding that l would make Los
Angeles my future home, decided the
question solely on the merits of your city
as fine place in which to live; could
make more money somewhere else. 1t
is surprise that such a residence city
should have to look out so sharply to
protect itself, and that after man has
bought home there. he cannot feel sure
but what nusances will be permitted.
Home-seekers should be encouraged; |
they will be of more value to Los An
geles, in the long run, than oil wells.

from this source in the future

An Astounding Flop

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald
Who has converted Henry T. Gage from an
opponent to a defender of the funding bill
At Hazards pavilion on September Sd he
said:
You and I and most men within the
sound of my voice have been unaltcr-
ably opposed from the early days of
California to the funding bill.
Afterward he and Gen. Barnes, the
regular salared attorney of the Southern
Pacific Railway company, formed an ora
torical combination and have since beer
travelling and speaking together. Note the
result. At Hazards pavilion on September
29th Mr.. Gage said
My remarks were never directed to
the deficiency bill. They were directed
to the refunding amendment, and he
we'll knows it. Now, that refunding
amendment was the proposed law
which Is now an operative statute of
the congress Of the United States, pro-
viding for the entire disposition of the
controversy that existed between these
great railroads and our country; 1t pro-
vided that the company should pay up
ward of fifty-nine millions of dollars
equal annual payments, with interest
upon interest.
Now, l say, on its face it would ap-
pear to me that If man owed another
large sum of money, and he would
pay every dollar that he owed him, and
interest, too, the creditor would have
no great ground of complaint. That Is
the way it would strike one of ordinary
mind. Now, that is exactly what this
bill Is.
Not only that, but so just, so care
full of the rights Of the people was that
bill that every member of the United
States senate-every Democrat, every
Populist every Republican-voted for
1t. That bill passed the United States
senate by unanimous vote. VIII you
kindly tell me when it was that my dis
tinguished opponent became pos
sessed Of more patriotism, more hon
esty. more wisdom than the entire
United States senate?
I say that any bill that passes that
great body, receives the Endorsement of
every Democrat, every Republican,
every Populist, must have virtue in it.
If the hypnotic influence of Gen Barnes
is so quickly effective upon Mr.. Gage now,
what will it be should Mr.. Gage be elected
governor and when Gen. Barnes relapses
an advocate of legislation in the interests
of the railroad which he represents?

An Abusive Orator

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald:
1 was deeply interested in reading the crit
icisms in today's Herald on the speech de-
Barnes, the well-paid attorney on the Gage
side of the important case of THE People
versus Monopoly, Greed & Co." The only
fault that could justly be found with the
structures Is that they may have be en- too
mild
One thing said by the eloquent champion
of special privilege is certainly deserving
Of the severest denunciation. allude to
the speakers characterization of Judge
Magure's supporters as "lunatics" That
was nothing less than a gross insult to
every man and woman in California who
desires to see James G. Mcguire made gov
ernor of the state. The sweeping remark
included very many Republicans who,
whether Barnes knows it or not wish to see
Mcguire elected, and will vote for him.
Yet, according to Barnes, the mouthpiece
and travelling manager Of Henry T. Gage,
all such persons and all Democrats, Popu-
lists and Free Silver men are "lunatics.'
And such talk from prominent leader of
a great political party that claims to pos
sess all the honesty, consistency and de-
cency to be found in this campaign I
wonder if Mr.. Gage and his friends imagine
that denouncing several hundred thousand
good citizens of our state as crazy folks
will help to make Gage it's governor.
Then, again, I wonder If General Barnes
is aspiring to become. In coarsness and
