An Old TER2.

Every day strengthens the belief of emf.
nent physicians that impure blood is the
cause of the majority of our diseases.
Twenty-Five years ago this theory was used
as a basis for the formula of Browns Iron
Bitters. The many remarkable cures effected
by this famous old household remedy are
sufficient to prove that the theory is correct.
Browns Iron Bitters is sold by all dealers.

YOUNG MEN FOR WAR

j. L. Murphy of this city, in letter
printed in yesterdays Herald, suggests
that the young men of Los Angeles or
ganize a volunteer regiment to send to
the front in the event of war, and men
tions ways and means by which be-
ginning in that direction can be made.
The idea is a good one and will doubt
less find a liberal and hearty endorse
ment. 1t is a fact that the young men
have not pushed themselves prominently
to the front in the public prints during
the present crisis, but that is by n means
to be taken as an indication that they
are not ready and willing to serve their
country. True bravery is modest, and
our young men are willing to let their
elders, who have been through theexpe
rience of war, do the talking for them.
When the call for troops comes, the
Los Angeles quota will be forthcoming
and it will not be necessary to call upon
the weareres of the blue and the gray in
order to fill it. If the old fellows posi-
lively refuse to stay at home, we must
give them their patriotic way.
In the meantime, let us hear from the
young fellows.

LOOKS LIKE MORE DELAY

Those who lay their ears to the ground
today anchhearken anXiously for the first
gun marking the outbreak of hostilities
between the United States and Spain,
will hear nothing but the beating of
their own hearts and the rumble and
roar of verbal artillery in the house of
representatives. The forecast from
Washington indicates that the oppo-
reuts of recognition and the thick and
thin supporters of the president are 60
ing to make vigorous struggle against
the senate resolutions, and with some
prospect Of success. tom Reeds gang
of reconcentrados" have been kept so
we'll in hand by the speaker that it will
require a strong pressure from the con-
stituencies to overcome the iron rule of
party. This outside pressure is already
being exerted, with what effect remains
to be seen.
There will be more or less jookeying
for position from a parliamentary and
political standpoint, and Speaker Reed
will see to it that the order of business
in a manner that will give the friends
Of the administration a coign of vantage.
One point that has been raised seems
to be worthy of consideration. The sen
ate resolutions expressly disclaim any
idea of conquest. 1t is asserted that if
we recognize the independence of Cuba,
General Gomez for instance, might ne
gotiate a peace with Spain and leave
the United States in the lurch. In the
revolutionary times, when France allied
herself with us, we were held to a com
pact that no peace should be negotiated
with Great Britain without the consent
of France. Such safeguard might we'll
be added to the action to be taken by
congress. The question whether recog-
milton is the prerogative of the president
will also come up, and altogether the
prospect for more delay looms up very
prominently.
The friends of recognition and repara-
ton should not recede from these two
fundamental propositions. Concessions
and safeguards based upon these princi-
the president, the senate nor the house
should assume to be the sole dictator in
the premises. If each will but listen to
the voice and wishes of the people they
represent, they will soon reach a har-
monious decision.

Let Both Volunteer

To the Editor Of the Los Angeles Herald:
Again In our eastern dispatches comes the
news that the treasury department Is pre-
pairing for an issue Of $500, 900 in bonds
II necessary, to carry on the war. Let US
insist that no bonds be issued. Between
the two evils Of paper bearing interest
(bonds) and paper bearing none (green-
backs) we will favor the greenback every
time. We have learned bitter lesson
from our last war, and now. thlrty-three
years after Its close, We are paying more
interest in the way OF farm products than
we did at the close Of the war. We have
found that bond Is more dangerous. more
hsidious than even a Spaniard. and to be
dreaded fully as much.
Why issue any bonds? Why not appeal
to that company OF rich. opulent. patriotic
and honest men who In the last campaign
prated SO valiantly Of national honor7
Why do not those patriotic citizens say to
Uncle Sam In his distress: Here Is our
money; take 1t and use it. and In your own
good time pay it back without INTEREST,"
hey do not care as much for their coun-
try as the poor seameu Of the Maine. Tho
sailors and marines gave their all; could
man do more? There is no north, no south,
no east, no west, and there should be no
bond syndicate to offset the great wave
OF Americanism that is welling up in this
country.
Let the farce stop. II congress has tho
sand" let 1t say to the rich: You fur
nish the money and the great American
people will furnish the men,"
We have had an elegant Sufficienoy' Of
the bond business, and the best thing this
country can do Is to pay off all bonds. and
never issue another.
Let the money volunteer as the thou.
sands Of patriotic men are volunteering all
over the United States today. Thus may
the money show that It 10 honest money,
and In favor of good government.
Let the money volunteer as tho thou
of both money and men, II not enough
of either responds draft. Pay the bills Of
the nation as we go, as any other business
does, and we shall have nothing to regret.

The battleship continued for little space

And as the victor dashed about through

Destroyers of torpedo-boat destroyers did
their work.
Whereat into the action something new In

with popular sentiment, to abandon the
proposed festival altogether.
| A decision is not to be reached hastily
however, and In the meantime there is
the matter of the children's parade still
in allegiance, to be finally settled at the
meeting of the board Of education to-
night. The Herald believes 1t has voiced
the almost unanimous wish of the
parents and teachers, the persons most
vitality interested in the question, in de-
claring that the children should not be
allowed to march. The board of educa-
tion, which is of course open to convic-
ton, should hear directly from the par
ents interested. There is all Of today in
be delegation at the board meeting to-
night to see that popular opinion and
the common sense view of the matter
do not go unrepresented.
Reverting again to the Fiesta proper,
the question naturally arises, what shall
be done with the money raised in the
event that war is declared and the festi-
val is abandoned? The Herald would
suggest that no better use could be made
of the fund than to equip a regiment to
send to the front. That would be prac-
tical way of expressing the patriotic
sentiment of the people of Los Angeles,
and there is every reason to believe that
the fund could be largely increased if
it were put to the use mentioned. The
suggestion is offered for what it is worth.
The subscribers will naturally have con-
siderable to say regarding the matter.

MORAL FROM THE LEMON
MAKKET

The price of lemons Is low. The one.
cent-a-pound tariff and a very poor cror
of very poor lemons on the Mediter.
ranean has reduced the importations tc
less than half what they were last year
The California crop is a good one, and
the fruit is of a fine quality, and yet
the prices are very low and orchardists
do not appear to understand why such
should be the case.
If they will stop and reflect a little they
will find that the prices of all commodi-
ties are low, Notwithstanding the high
tariff. Go into the stores and into the
markets and price everything that is
offered for sale and you will find that the
prices are about half what they were
ten years ago. Why should not the
price of lemons and oranges to the con-
sumers come down with the prices OF
everything else?
This condition of affairs is peculiarly
hard on the lemon growers because there
are certain charges against the lemon
account which appear to be fixed. 1t
costs almost as much to pick and pack
the fruit today as it did ten years ago.
1t costs as much for freight to carry the
fruit to market as it did ten years ago.
The railroads are willing enough to
charge what the traffic will stand when 1t
comes to raising the rates, but they are
slow to follow the rule when it comes
to reduction of rates.
With lemons at So box, freight rate
of 81 per box leaves fair margin of
profit to the producer. but when the price
of lemons drops to $3.50 the freight and
cost of picking practically take all there
is in the business.
The cause of present low prices is found
in the financial condition of the country
the depressed condition of business.
Revive the business of the country and
prices will advance.
The wave Of prosperity has not re-
stored prices. There is revival of
business to certain extent, 1t Is true,
but it is based on the reduced prices
made imperative by the gold standard,
ana nOCnlnS out d return W the llHdHcldl
basis under which the country prospered
for over century will remedy the evil
complained of by our lemon growers.
The railroads cannot reduce their
freight rates to correspond with the re-
duction in prices of products from the
fact that their investments were made
and their construction debts were con-
tracted on the high price basis, and to
reduce the freight rates to correspond
with the prevailing low prices of the
produce would mean bankruptcy to the
| owners of the roads
If freight rates are not reduced and
prices of produce remain as at present
it means bankruptcy to the producer.
The investments of the country have
been made, and its debts contracted on
the basis of a one-hundred-cent dollar,
and If the people are compelled to pay
interest on these investments and those
debts with a Northumberland dollar,
universal bankruptcy must be the ulti-
mate result.

Our friends of the south are making lots
of fun for the boys. Bulla and Grant want
the senatorship, but, In order to secure this.
it is necessary for them to throw the COVER
norship north. This Gage objects to and is
trying to play like trick upon them by
throwing the senatorship north.
