FACE TO FACE

The joy manifested in the Spanish cap
tiago de Cuba Of Admiral Cervera's ar
mada measurably warrants the conclu-
sion that the movement marks one step
| in the strategic plan Of our adversary.
rather than an alternative movement
dictated by the necessities of the envi-
ronment. 1t is obvious'that Cervera is
safer under the forts of Santiago than he
would be in the open, and unless he is
speedily besieged it is likely he will be
able within a short time greatly to
strengthen the defenses Of the harbor.
The situation is not wholly dissimilar
to that at Manila before the arrival of
Dewey, although it is hardly conceivable
that Santiago is so we'll protected as was
that city by the defenses at Corregidor
and Cavite.
AS in the case of the Philippine capt.
tai, Santiago is reported to be beleaguered
by a considerable force Of insurgents,
only patriot performance in Cuba has
been SO distinguished from premise that
we have come to take little stock in the
achievement of decisive results by the
forces under either Gomez or Garcia-lit-
tie faith in their ability to render mate
rial assistance to our army or navy in
an emergency. Still they may have some
surprises In store for US, and judgment
may we'll be suspended until they shall
have had an opportunity to display their
skill as we'll as their undying yalor.
Now that the enemy is definitely To-
Gated, it is not too much to expect de-
cisive movement against him. Fortu-
nately, there is not much prospect of our
hearing definitely as to it's character,
since press censorship is now quite ef-
fective. The plans of the combined army
and navy board Of strategy belong as
yet exclusively to the field of conjecture,
and since their publication in this coun-
try is tantamount to their promulgation
in Madrid, the best wish of every loyal
citizen is that they may remain unex-
posed.
We have the ships. the men and the
guns. and we can AFFORD to await results

TRIUMPH OF A TRIBUNE

There are few stronger personalities In
the lower house of congress than the rep
resentative from the seventh Kansas dis
trict who has just been renominated by
acclamation for third term by his ad-
miring constituents. The natural product
Of the unrest and dissatisfaction that be-
gan to manifest itself among the people
of the west. when the effects OF falling
prices for all forms of property sava
money first began to be felt, he at once
became the target for the venom Of the
eastern subsidized press, which took the
most dangerous form Of ridicule. Few
men in public life are strong enough. in
intellect and poise and purpose, to sur
vive a campaign of satire and ridicule,
systematically conducted by merciless
partisan press, whether exploited with
the view Of driving the victim from pub
lie life or altogether aimless. Dignified
opposition, however virile, may and often
does serve to strengthen rather than
weaken the public man Of really forceful
individuality, but the armor plate of the
statesman must be absolutely free from
blowholes If he would escape unharmed
the shafts of ridicule. No man in public
life during the past quarter Of century
has been subjected to such merciless
bombardment from the rapid-fire guns
of the masked enemy aShas the man Of
whom we write. Under just such storm
the venerable Greeley went down to an
unhappy grave, and his unfortunate col
league on the national ticket Of 1872 was
driven into unmerited obscurity by the
same miserable methods. Strong in the
consciousness of his own integrity, and
of the righteousness Of the cause he rep
resents, Jerry Simpson has steadily held
his head aloft to the coming sunshine of
political truth and economic redemption.
Courageously espousing the principles
he represents, forcefully combating the
heresies of the opposition, in evidence
only when his voice might be heard to
some purpose, he has won an enviable
position among the lawmakers Of the
country, and so satisfied his constituents
that all opposition to his return has been
completely dissipated.
1t may bel remarked, in passing, that
few men in the house possess a more
pleasing personality, few are more scru-
pulous in personal attire, the "sockless"
pseudonym having no more warrant than
that which credited the luckless Tabor
with wearing a $3.50 night shirt.

A DIsCoRDANT ELEMENT

While considerable progress is being
made in the praiseworthy effort to or
ganize a union of the free-sllver forces
for the coming campaign in this state,
there is a small contingent among the
Populists that seems determined to die
tate terms to all three parties. This con-
tingent, without consulting the rank and
file OF the party, or the other friends Of
silver, called the state convention of the
Peoples party for July 18th at Sacra-
mento, and laid down rules which, 1T was
declared, must govern the action of the
convention.
In the meantime, as is well known, the
friends of silver in the Democratic, Silver
Republican and Populist parties, had be-
gun preparations for complete fusion of
the three parties. Committees were ap-
pointed to consult together and make
such arrangements as might be deemed
best.
1t seemed especially desirable that the
conventions should not be held so early
as July. The Herald pointed out that the
present, when the country is engaged in
war, is a very bad time to inject politics
into the situation. 1t would simply add
to the burdens of the people without af-
fording any compensation. 1t would
make the campaign too long. On the
other hand. if the conventions were held
in September the war would probably be
over, and the people would be ready to
take up politics in earnest.
The great majority Of the three parties
undoubtedly favors a short campaign,
September conventions and a fusion
ticket. But small clique of selfish poll
ticians seems to have secured control of
the machinery of the Peoples party, with
the intention and determination to serve
its own interests, regardless Of silver,
and at the risk of wrecking it's party
organisation.
This clique insists that the Populist
convention shall be held July 18th, as
originally announced. Its members mean
that the tail shall wag the dog. They will
not do thing for silver unless they can
do it in their own selfish way. 1t has been
suggested therefore, that the state con-
vention Of the Democratic and Silver Re-
publican parties be held at San Francisco
July 18th, the day succeeding the Populist
|convention.
The Herald does not believe that the
majority Of the three parties interested
Is in favor Of making such concession
to small and selfish minority. 1t be-
lieves that those composing the
conservative element among the
Populista. having the best inter-
ests Of silver and Of the Peoples party
At heart. are heartily in favor of harmo-
NOUS fusion and short campaign. and
THAT they will 20 express themselves.
The herald., 1898-05-21

Populists. should proceed on the original
plan. II the middle-of-the-road Popu-
lists insist upon hooking by themselves,

nor, as The Herald believes. to the ma
jority of their own party.
Harmony, fusion, and short cam
paign. are the watch words of the true
friends to silver In California this year.

The remarkable statement is contained
in our news columns this morning that
the president, unable to trust all Of the
members of his cabinet with the detailed
plans Of the army and navy bureaus, de-
clined to submit them at the meeting Of
the ministers yesterday. The statement
is vouchsafed that, aside from Alger and
Long, none ofthe presidents advisers are
acquainted with what is transpiring In
West Indian waters. With an effective
press censorship, and the members of the

A Republican contemporary devotes
considerable space to serious discussion
Of the income tax feature Of the war reve-
nue. bill now pending. which 1t opposes,
on the ground that it would be tax both
upon production and consumption, and IL
DECLARES that II the government "shall
decide to seize some Of these incomes. the
recipients Of them will proceed to recoup
themselves at the expense Of the pro-
ducer and consumer" The humor Of the
thing consists in the fact that neither
the house bill, nor the bill as reported
by the senate finance committee. con-
tains any provision whatever for the tax
alton of incomes, big or little.

suffer In the early stages Of the civil war.

Much consolation may be CLEANED from
the fact that great many Of the obnox-

These newspapers are we'll paid, but
they do their employers sorry service.
The Lattimer free killing bee must be

murdered is not pleasant man to deal

less they can be put around the ballot

hot Time Coming.

Workingmen, in thinking Of the Lat&
avenged, need not feel that the lives OF
the murdered men were entirely wasted,
It is true that justice has been outraged
and that certain score some day to be-
wiped out is little bigger than 1t was.
But some good has been done. It Is not
likely that such a killing will occur
again for many days. 1t is probable that
the next coward armed with repeating
rifle will hesitate, fearing that murderer
No. 2 may not fare as well as No. /.
Public opinion has crystallized about
this Pennsylvania murder affair. Mur~
der on a cash basis will probably receive
a setback despite the verdict.
OF course, no such verdict could have
been rendered in England or in France,
where the rights Of ordinary men are
now recognized. They were not recog-
nized in France at one time. But the
most ordinary kind of men got sort Of
habit OF cutting off heads indiscriminate-
ly, and as it turned out that the heads
belonged to persons of high degree, the
memory OF that affair has stuck.
In England the ordinary British per-
son has reminded the powers SO often
of his presence, sometimes by cutting
of {. kings head, sometimes in other
playful ways, that he is considered quite
a serious quantity. The American loco
motive engineers, at their last strike.
managed to make it cleal at they are
not to be trifled with; the men OF Pitts
burg made themselves felt, and incident
ally defeated a Republican candidate for
the presidency. These are indications
that the American ordinary man is grad
ually establishing himself as an animal
with rights. The progress is slow, but 1t
is sure.
Constant use of the ballot, with some.
thing more drastic on occasions when
hired Pinkertons appear to shoot, Is
bound in the long run to frighten even
the Carnegies who hire the PinkertOna
and then run away to Europe.

AmalganatiOn. A

do not find any fusion sentiment in
the Peoples party in California outside
OF officeholders and office-seekers, but
there are a considerable number of
worthy Populists who are willing to have
union with Democrats and silver Repub-
licans upon basis Of amalgamation,
that is, the formation of a new party
which shall take a new name If the
Democratic party in California is willing
to unite with Populists and silver Re-
publicans at a state convention by agree
ing in advance to abandon the name,
Democratic party, and let the reform
forces select a new name, as Union Re-
form party or Peoples reform party, let
the Democratic party show its desire for
union by Offering to do so. Our position
is that the Democratic party is not re-
formed and that it does not desire any
such amalgamation or any real union,
but simply desires to go on as the Demo-
mand the confidence of reformers and as
such it will never be real reform party
It's refusal to even consider amalgama-
tion under new name leaves it respon-
sible for any lack of union of reform
forces. Let the responsibility rest where
it belongs. Knowing that Democrats do
not intend to offer any such union we
have taken our stand.
Fusion on lines heretofore attempted
is wrong in principle and failure In re-
suits and of necessity must be.-Indus-
try, Oakland, Cal.
