DE LOME'S BAD BREAK

The sensation of the day is the letter
written by De LONE, the Spanish minis
ter at Washington, to his friend Can
elejos, a Spanish editor at Madrid. who
visited Cuba last September as the per-
sonal representative of Premier Sagasta.
The letter severely criticises President
Mckinley in very offensive terms, refer
ring to him as "a low politician, who de-
sires to stand we'll with the jingoes OF
his party and as catering to the
rebels
The authenticity of the letter was at
first denied but this mornings dispatches
affirm its genuineness. OF course Mr.
De LONE Is persona non grata at Wash
ington, and his return to Spain is a ques-
ton of but few days. His letter was
an international discourtesy and grave
breach Of official decorum.
While the incident of the De LONE let
ter, coming as it does at time when the
relations between Spain and the United
States are very strained, adds to the
doubtedly increase the unofficial war
like feeling, it is by no means cause for
war. Much will depend upon the at
titude of the Span government. There
will undoubtedly be much bitter talk on
both sides. President Mckinley can
hardly feel that his pacific and too toll
Grant course has been appreciated by
the Spaniards.
Whatever is thought about the incident
in this country, it must be remembered
that the insult was the work of an in
dividual, the unofficial act of an official
The Cuban junta will endeavor to make
the most of it, as it is natural that they
should: and the Cubans will undoubtedly
reap some ultimate profit from the fool

ZOLA'S DILEMMA

| Nobody is ever greatly surprised at
anything coming from Paris, and vet
the strangest of things are all the time
happening there. The whole course and
present attitude of the government and
the people touching the Dreyfus affair
is an enigma quite beyond satisfactory
solution. Such a condition could not
obtain in this, or perhaps in any other,
country.
| Was it not remarkable beyond prece-
dent that former president of the re-
public, summoned as witness in the
Zola trial, should decline to take the
oath? Pardon me-" said M. Casimir-
Perier, 'I cannot swear to tell the
truth, because 1 cannot do so. 1t is my
duty not to tell it."
! This statement, as we'll it might,
caused commotion. But what fol-
lowed? NJ Casimir-Perier proceeded
to take the oath, and his examination
began.
| What was the significance of this char
acteristically French incident? Was the
| declaration of the witness, prior to quail
flying, in the nature of a mental reser-
walton, and was his subsequent testi-
mony to be taken for only what it was
worth, coming from man of high char
acter, of noble lineage, of unblemished
repute and blameless private record, and
yet one who could not swear to tell the
truth, because he could not, because he
did not deem it his duty to tell it, but
rather the contrary?
| Surely an ex-president should be privi-
legged in such an emergency to aver, or
excused altogether, if his telling Of the
truth is calculated to disclose important
state secrets coming to his knowledge
while acting in the capacity of chief ex-
ecutive.
But in view of the incident and
others not less remarkable, that preceded
and followed it, the possibility of
NJ Zola being able to vindicate himself
and secure the liberty of Dreyfus is not
reassuring.

the company that acquired the property
took 1t out of the hands of the city with
out securing any appreciable compensa-
tion to the people.
Thus there are many Of the prin-
ciples of socialism that would be OF
must be honestly applied. Bad men will
make failure of the best system of
government. How, then, are we to
strike the keynote? Upon what basis
may all good citizens work together?
1t is clear that mutual ground must
be had. There are some reforms that
must be accomplished outside political
parties. Political parties are indis-
pensable; we would not do away with
them if we could. But there are some
things that cannot be done within their
lines. Socialism here offers a common
ground for the people Of all parties,
of all religious beliefs and Of all classes
to work on.
Public sentiment is not always aroused
to the necessities of the occasion. The
public conscience sometimes sleeps.
There is often need of John the Baptist
to awaken the people, and of a Moses
to lead them. If the advocates of So
cialism thus point the way they are
doing great public service. Instead of
leading toward anarchy, they are help
ing to bring about conditions that will
prevent anarchy.

ToDAY,S SCHOOL ELECTION

The people of the Seventh ward Will
hold an election today to choose sue
cessor to ]. +. Adams in the board of
education. There Is but one nominee
formally in the field Mr.. A. M. Bragg,
the Democratic candidate. Mr.. Bragg
is an old-time resident of Los Angeles, a
man of intelligence and ability, and a
citizen who has the respect and con-
fidence of all who know him. He should
be given, and doubtless will receive,
practically the unanimous vote of the
ward.
1t is to be hoped that the voters of the
Seventh ward will display proper de-
gree of interest in this election. A very
large vote will be taken as an indication
that the people generally throughout
the city are deeply interested in the re-
form work that has been done in the
board of education, and that they are
determined to have, so far as they can
control matters, honest, efficient gov
ernment in the school system of the city.
To cast his ballot for school director to-
day is a duty that every voter in the
Seventh ward owes to himself and to the
community.

Upon the Slide

The butchers boy had made slide in the
middle of the road;
1t was the very longest slide that ever
mortal slode
The bakers boy espied 1t, and observed,
''Now this is good;
I'll have a go at that there slide, and
subsequently slood
The village patriarch upon the slippery
surface trod
Most inadvertently and unintentionally he
slod.
The Misses Smith, though middle-aged,
felt youthful tastes renewed,
Glanced round-saw no one coming-and
started Off and slowed.
The curate. passing down the street, re-
membered that he had
Some skill in sliding as boy, and elegantly
slad.
The doctir followed boldly with the cry of
''Whos afraid?"
And suffered much from somersaults; in
agony he slade.
The constable remarked it. "Well," he
said. II never did!
I shall be slidin next myself" which hav-
ing said he slid.
At the END Of the slide they all came down
on a heap of frozen mud
And sat there, and were sorry that they
had ever slud
And did not love the boy who made in the
middle of the road
The slide that was the longest that ever
mortal sode. London Figaro.

will go in with or follow them. 1t is
highly desirable, inasmuch as the United

A resort to the foreign vessels in the

Fortunately at this juncture, when a
satisfactory solution of the problem
seemed quite beyond reach, our es-
teemed twilight contemporary, the Ex-
the Klondike pilgrims delay their jour-
ney until sufficient number of Ameri-
can vessels can be made in the idle
American shipyards to safely transport
them to the promised land. This is fea-
sible and timely, and we cheerfully ac-
cept it as a satisfactory settlement of
the whole difficulty, providing the stam-
pede is called off at once and some guar
antees are given that the bloody Brit
ishers will not in the meantime rush in
by way of Vancouver and gobble up all

A PERNICIOUs PRACTICE

Everywhere Is noticeable a growing
conviction of the fallacy of providing
bounties and subsidies for the encour-
agement of special industries, which, in
whatever shape it is presented, involves
the pernicious doctrine of the right of
government to tax the many for the ben
eft of the few.
Germany, for example, in order to
stimulate sugar manufacture, gives a
bounty to the surplus exported, and the
United States. to protect the Infant in
dustries' in this country, levies a dis
criminative duty upon sugar imported
from bounty-giving countries.
Additional restrictions of trade by one
country are met with retaliative meas
ures upon the part of another, and thus
are commercial conditions constantly
in danger of arrangement by the pro-
mitigation of new orders and reguia-

WHITTIER SOCIALISM LEADS

1t is to be feared that the Express
has not kept pace with the development
of thought and the progress Of the age
The word socialism is a bugaboo in its
ears, a term that evolves the dread
figure of anarchy in its brooding
mind, although the great majority OF
intelligent and well-informed people
hold it to be something widely differ
ent And yet the Express is, unwit-
tingly, perhaps, itself an earnest and
sincere advocate of one or more phases
of socialism.
Our contemporary, for instance, is in
favor of the municipal ownership of
the city water works, which is directly
in line with the principles of socialism;
yet it would not contend that the mu-
nicipal ownership of water works paves
the way to anarchy.
n-partisanship and good govern
ment in our educational system is an
other feature of the social economy that
is in accord with the principles of true
socialism. The efforts that have been
made to purge the board of education
were community efforts. All classes of
good citizens, all shades of political
opinion, were represented in the organ
ization that undertook the herculean
labor. The Express here took part as
form, and never dreamed that anarchy
was near.
But socialistic theories and socialistic
practices are not in themselves a cure
all. Society itself must contribute, and
the individual, who makes up society,
must do his share. Socialism in the
hands of corrupt individuals or organ
izations may make for evil. Take, for
instance, that form of socialism known
as the municipal ownership of water
works. The city of Philadelphia owned
and operated it's own water works for
many years at great loss and giving
poor service. The system was recently
leased to a private corporation for a
long term of years. The deal by which
the transfer was made has been cor
rectly characterized as the greatest
steal ever perpetrated in the ring
ridden city of Philadelphia. 1t
involved millions. 1t is charged.
and the assertion has never been sue
cessfully controverted, that the official
municipal ring in Philadelphia deIib-
erately mismanaged the water depart
ment, allowed the plant to run down
year after year, and then, by corrupt
bargain, profitable only to itself and
