THE MAN

The man who speaks
A kindly word to sooth an aching heart
Or light some tear-dimmed eye,
To break or turn the point of sorrows
dart
Aimed at a weary wanderer passing
by
The man who lends
A helping hand to raise whom cares bow
down.
Needless of friend or foe,
To boldly aid, though worldlings scoff OF
frown,
The hand that strikes at tyranny q
blow
The man who loves
All natures gifts-mightiest or most mi
mute
The bird. the brute, the flower
The tempest blast, the air that tunes TIA
lutte,
The rays that brighten and the clouds
that lower
He who thus speaks, thus lends a hand,
thus loves
Confiding in the genius Of the Giver,
("Unknowable'' maybe)
Gides to his rest--his record safe forever
In the great archives Of eternity.

THE HOME FIELD

Sentiment has little to do with COM
merce and the creation of trade relations
between communities, as rule, and
yet it is factor that cannot with profit
be entirely eliminated.
The upbuilding of Los Angeles as a
distributing point, and the extension
of it's trade into the interior, depends
primarily and fundamentally upon its
natural situation and artificial environ
ment, it's possession of resources and ad
vantages over other places for sue
cessfully attracting trade and inter-
change of commodities. These con-
ceded, however, something else yet re-
mains to be done, for if advertising is
essential to the prosperity of the indi-
vidual merchant, it can be no less potent
a factor in the advancement of the COM
merce of a community as whole.
Los Angeles is an ambitious city; in
no sense a "pent-up Utica" 1t is COM
mon point with other places competing
for the coast trade, and with transporta-
ton facilities by water and rail exceeded
by none.
Recognizing its paramount natural ad-
vantages and its great future possibill-
ties, capital, in constantly increasing
volume, is coming in to aid in the COM
mercial development of what Will one
day, in the confident hope and expecta-
ton of the more far-seeing of our people
become the most important commercial
emporium of the Pacific coast.
All else being in our favor, the most
important enterprise that now presents
itself is the comprehensive advertising of
our claims for consideration. Our mer-
chants are entitled to all of the trade
that can be attracted hither, and the
best way to attract larger share of it
is by community effort. Proper rep
resentation of our varied resources at
Omaha next year, and at Paris the year
following, is commendable. But we
should not at the same time neglect the
home field, nor do we concede that this
is limited by any natural or artificial
barriers. A large portion of the richest
most productive and populous section of
the Golden state is naturally tributary
to this city. We should not be satisfied
with what naturally flows into our lap
from the country bounded by the Te-
hachapi-our trade relations should ram
ify a much larger area, extending hun
dreds of miles beyond. Therein will be
found an expansive field for our COM
mercial emissaries, and it is hoped they
will never be disposed to yield it to an
other.
We cannot too soon begin to cultivate
reciprocal relations with the section soon
to be brought nearer to our doors by the
extension of the Valley road to Bakers
field. That is an event about to be cele-
brated in a formal manner in that pre-
tentious city, and Los Angeles has al
ready signified it's purpose of being rep
resented by it's chief commercial body.
The Herald hopes this will not be purly
perfunctory, as is too often the case, but
that, on the contrary, there will be some
thing like a general participation in the
function that is being arranged.

TO THE RESCUE!

How times have changed! But a few
statesmen refused to admit that the
great west was anything more than the
mere tail end of existence. 1t was as diff
cult to get an appropriation for pub
western river or harbor, as it is not tc
know what occurs in an executive ses-
sion of the United States senate. But
the balance of power and of reason and
empire toward the setting sun; and now
we hear things like this, from the New
York Times:
a deep, broad and safe channel ought
to be constructed in the lower bay. from
the Narrows to Sandy Hook. The need
of it is easily demonstrated, the justice
of New Yorks demand for it is indis-
putable. We have had but two and a
quarter millions of the three hundred
millions spent in river and harbor i'm
provement since 1880, and in the last
forty-one years the New York custom
house has collected four and one
quarter billions of the total six and a
quarter billions of import duties re-
ceived by the government. The two
sides of the account make shameful
exhibit for congressional contemplation.
We look for no notable change until the
disposition of the senate and house
changes utterly. Cheesequakes creek
will get its annual appropriation, but
New York harbor will have to be con-
tent with its three-quarters of / per
cent so long as the river and harbor
bills are built up by the log-rolling pro-
cess.
The great and generous west should
return good for evil. 1t should rise up
in its might and majesty, forgetting all
the snubs and injuries it suffered so
many years at the hands of the effete
east, and demand that New York harbor
be given proper attention. 1t is too bad
the New York delegation in congress has
smaller influence than the delegations
from Jayville and Horse Gulch; but for

This is the way Henri Rochefort, the
famous French editor, looks at the situ-
alton:
To really grasp the situation. the ex-
plosion on the Maine must be regarded
as the first battle between Spain and
the United States. AS for us, we only
see in it the last stage of the advance
of the Cubans toward independence.
The catastrophe has caused the death
of 25S unfortunate sailors, but it has
also saved the lives of millions of COM
batants, for it insures the final triumph
of the insurrection before many weeks.
There is an idea in Mr.. Rochefort' s
remarks that is worth pondering.
