TWO YEARS RETROSPECT

Two years ago, in the early days of
september, the two great political par
les had fairly lined up for one of the
most notable. electoral contests in the
history Of the United States. The Demo-
ratic party had new issue emblazoned
lpon its banners. 1t was vital. pres
mt and emergent issue, the free and IN
United coinage of silver at the 1G-to-1
alto. The chief issue inscribed upon
he Republican banners was the familiar
lemand for high protective tariff.
A strange anomaly was presented at
he outset of the contest. The Demo-
'ratic party was handicapped by the op-
position of Democratic administration
IN the vital silver question President
Cleveland was not only ar opponent but
! supporter Of the Republican platform
AS the campaign progressed all the in
luence of the administration was exerted
the effort to defeat the Democratic
ticket.
The Republican party, with their chief
ssue of high tariff, had peculiar advan-
ages The administration of President
cleveland, with its main reliance on the
wilson tariff, had completely failed to
tay the business depression which had

Syndicate Politics

Even before peace is signed the synd,.
Gates are at work. Porto Rico and Cuba
are TO be opened up and their resources
developed.
This Is as 1t should be. But Is II not
little strange that there is so much
'officialism" in 1t? The secretary of wal
seems to be the center of the movement
Associated with him are said to be Gen.
eral Shafter, who has been Alger's partner
in certain mining and lumber speculations;
Senator Mcmillan OF Michigan; Vice Presi.
dent Hobart, Steve" Elkins, Mark Hanna
and Abner Mckinney, brother of the presi-
dent. The ground floor is fully occupied
by these worthy men. Plain citizens with
no pull will have to make terms with these
concessionaires.
I, Is an awful fall from humanitarian
ism to syndicate politics. But that seems
to be the fact Of the matter. While Dewey
and Schley and Sampson and the army a,
Santiago have been fighting the battle of
liberty and humanity, these officials ap-
pear to have been perfecting their plans
to monopolize the gains. Is this 4 synid-
cate administration, after all?-St Louis

THE COMING GUESTS

All indications point to an unusually
large influx of tourists to Southern Cali
fornia during the coming season. The
natural process of accretion will of course
swell the volume, but there are several
reasons why the visitors should be i'm
PEELED to come here now. That they are
coming, in largely increased number, we
have evidence in the reports from trans
portation companies and from various
private sources.
1t is gratifying to know that Los An
geles will be a city that may be shown to
the stranger with feeling of pride. Last
year the feeling was one of mortifica-
ton, evoked by the wretched condition
of our most important business thor
oughfareE. If the paving work and 9TH
er public improvements are pushed as
they ought to be the city will soon be "a
thing of beauty" if not JOY forever.
Supplementing the work of the city
authorities, in street work and other i'm
provements, a great deal might be done
by individuals in the way of enhancing
the beauty of the city. There are GER
tain remains of the dead boom that still
offend the eye of the observer. Lots
with scrawny orange trees, neglected
and deserted. are seen by the score in
various sections of the city. little ef-
fort might lead to the removal of them,
as they are only an eyesore and a nui-
sance.
And might not our real estate agents
get along with little less glaring dis
play of their offerings? Strangers are
wont to say, on their first walk about
"Why, the whole town seems to be for
sale!" 1t is not necessary to plaster a
pisce Of real estate all over with speci-
mems of job printing to indicate that 1t
Is for sale, nor would it seem to be neces-
sary that half dozen agents should be
represented in the display.
Generally speaking, Los Angeles, in
dividually and collectively, should put
its "best foot foremost" in welcoming the
guests that will soon flock in, and In
impressing them with the advantages
of our thriving city as place Of per-
manent residence. We have a city to
be proud of, and the thing to do Is to make

Decline of the Drink Habit

The labor department returns, which are
carried up and through the calendar year
Of 1885, seem to indicate that the consump-
ton of alcoholic beverages of all kinds is
gradually declining In this country, when
estimated on a percap.ta basis. So far as
distilled SPIRITS are concerned there cannot
be the least doubt of this. This is not, In
our opinion, the result of prohibitory laws,
but of the gradual upbuilding of public
sentiment which encourages resistance to
the abuses of alcoholic liquors and which
makes 1t d!sgrace-and this in nearly all
classes of socety-for man or a woman
to use these beverages to an excess.-Bos-
ton Herald.

the stranger see 1t and appreciate 1t az
we do ourselves.
EFFECT OF HARBoR WORK

At last we have reliable assurance that
government work at San Pedro harbor
will begin early next month. In or
der to prosecute 1t advantageously the
employment of large force OF
laborers will be necessary. The money
is at command, and there will be moth
ing to prevent the steady continuance
Of work until the terms Of the contract
are complied with.
While the money expended in this en-
terprise will in the main find its way to
Los Angeles, we regard this benefit as
only secondary to far greater advantages
that will soon accrue to this city. The
fact that a harbor for Los Angeles is
now a certainty will have an immediate
effect in attracting capital and leading
to Industrial development. 1t is not
only In this neighborhood that the fight
for a seaport in Southern California has
been closely watched. In the east the
progress Of the project has attracted
more attention than has been indicated
in print. This interest is likely to take
practical form very soon after the be-
ginning Of active work.
The advantages offered for investment
both in Los Angeles and at its seaport
will not fail to attract capitalists. The
Importance of getting in on the ground
floor" will lead them to make invest
ments In the early stage of the work.
Before the Christmas turkey loses his
head we believe that a decided impulse
will be given to business as ar immediate
result of the beginning Of operations at
San Pedro.

TALKS WITH GLADSTONE

In a work recently published by Mr.
Tollemache, detailing talks" which the
author had with Mr.. Gladstone, we are
told that, referring to Professor Bryce's
Social Aspects of America, Mr.. Glad
stone said that the era of wealth that
is of colossal fortunes) was setting in
and that he regretted it. That the Duke
of Westminster was mere pauper com
pared to Mr.. Astor with his two and a
half millions a year, and that he thought
the responsibility attached to the con-
ditions Of holding wealth nowadays, es-
pecially in the United States, and the
difficulty or impossibility Of bringing
home to men the responsibility of riches
held under the present conditions. is the
black spot of the future.
In reply TO the question whether he
(Mr. Gladstone) did not take thorough
ly sanguine view of the prospects of this
very reforming age, Mr.. Gladstone said:
"Not altogether. The future is to me
a blank I cannot at all guess what is
coming"
do you mean," asked Mr.. Tolemache,
that you are afraid that democracy
may bring everything to a dead level,
or that science is too hastily removing
the old theological landmarks? ?"
Mr.. Gladstone replied: II am not
so much afraid Of democracy or
science as I am of the love Of money.
This seems to me to be the growing evil
Also there is danger from the growth of
that dreadful military spirit"
These words may now be considered
as a voice from the grave Of the great
est modern statesman. They should
intone solemn lesson for all nations
and, in special sense. for our own re-
"the black spot Of the future" but it is
present evil more potential of rapid
destruction to American modes Of social
and political thought than any other
love of money is gangrene in our body
polite that is gradually undermining &
the health of the state, and sapping that
principle of American govern
mental institution, equal and exact JUS
tice to all and special privileges to none.
1t is no less destructive to the wholesome
simplicity of American social life that,
before its poisonous fungus took root in
our society, scorned the very idea of
shoddy aristocracy.
We have also reason to beware "of
that dreadful military spirit" that wooes
the American people just now as an angel
Of light. AS intelligent, liberty-loving
men and women, we should heed the phil
osophic lessons which, by example, his
tory teaches us In the premises The
of military glory has been
the initial stage in the downfall of all the
republics, with the possible exception of
little Switzerland, that have, before our
time, enjoyed tn sweets of civil liberty.
Let us sterilize the present military in
toxication with the alkali of American
common sense. If our people, as the
New York World says, "are aglow with
patriotic fervor," so much greater the
necessity for calmness in considering

begun during the time Of his Republi
can predecessor. The people were cage
for a change and the excitement Of tn
campaign rose to fever heat.
The result of the election showed tha
the Democratic ticket had been defeated
by the disaffection of Democrats, wh'
had either been swayed by the admins
tration or influenced directly by the in
terests Of capital and monopoly. Not
withstanding all the adverse circum
lstances 6,5O2, ,925 unpurchasable votei
were cast for the Democratic ticket
against 7,1O4,779 for that Of the Republi'
can party.
How do the promises made by the Re-
publican party In the campaign two
years ago tally with the results expert
enced by the American people? The
promises of prosperity under the Ding
lev tariff have not materialized so far as
the mass of people are concerned. The
only remarkable outcome Of the change
of administration is the amazing growth
of trusts and syndicates of capital. The
new tariff has had a surprising influence
in fostering great aggregations of capi-
tai. If that is the Republican idea of
national prosperity the promises Of two
years ago have been fulfilled.
The tendency of the stream Of prosper
ity to run into the pockets of capitalists,
under present conditions, is seen I'M the
fact that the country as whole is un-
doubtedly prosperous. That Is to say.
the balance sheet of the United States.
In its dealings with the world, shows the
most cheering exhibit. Our exports
were never before so great as now. Our
manufactures are pushing their way
into new markets and crowding out COM
petitors at their own doors in Europe.
Our agricultural products have lately
been exceptionally large, and in fact all
our industries, taken as whole, seem
to be thriving.
But ask a given number of individuals,
in the common walks of life, whether
they have realized the bright promises
held out by the Republican party two
years ago. Ask the merchant, the small
manufacturer, the mechanic. or any
wage Garner. There has been no per-
ceptible change for them however it may
have been with large capitalists.
1t is a fact, easily demonstrated. that
the line of demarkation between capital
and labor has broadened amazingly since
the incoming Of the present administra-
tiou.- While conditions grow no better
for the masses, the announcements of CO.
lossal trusts have become so frequent
that they cease to attract the attention
that centered upon such enterprises
when they began to rear their heads as
a menace to popular interests.
Looking backward at the record OF
the present administration, and COM
pairing it with the promises made
in the election campaign two years |
ago. there is nothing in sight calculated |
to commend 1t to the man who earns his
living What 1t has done for the capt.
talists Is seen in the array of trusts that
have sprung up, embracing nearly every
industry, and gradually crowding the
small dealer and manufacturer out of
business.

SOME FEATURES OF THE WAR

In the war with Spain the American
soldiers and sailors displayed their PROV
ess and heroism. The victories
upon the sea were marvellous. OF de-
feats there have been none.
The achievements of our army and
navy have surprised and wor the ad-
miration of the world Our position in
the family of nations has been immense
ly elevated.
The most important result of the war,
however is that the American people
have gained a better comprehension of
themselves, and a more accurate esti-
mate Of the nations power.
In no previous foreign war were the
people as thoroughly united as in this.
In the revolution there were tories.
In the war of 1912 there was opposition
openly expressed, and charges were made
that blue lights We're displayed on the
coast as friendly signals to British ships
During the war with Mexico there were
men in congress who voted against sup
plies of men and money, and those who
made public speeches in disparagement
If the country's course. Until recently,
Turing the entire national existence.
there was sectional feeling of greater or
less strength.
In the recent war unity and patriotism
may be said to have been universal in
Ill sections, and without distinction of
party. The manifestation Of strength
as a war power has been no less reve-
alton to ourselves than to foreign ma
lions 1t has given the civilized world
fuller conception of what 100000 of
intelligent people can do when united
and aroused, and when the emergency
requires the putting forth of their ut
most efforts.
The results of the war have opened
20 us new questions, and thrown upon US
aew responsibilities. Our internation-
Il relations have been enlarged and the
current of popular thought changed. The
position achieved forbds abstention
from participation in the worlds affairs.
We cannot confine ourselves any longer
20 those that are western or which prop
.rly belong to the western hemisphere
Dur sphere of action will hereafter ex-
tend to the Orient Have our achieve
ments, and the rapid strides We have
made into the forefront of nations made
is vain? Will we be carried away byI
the glamour of militarism, and through
our acquisitions of territory are the
American people likely to be impreg-
mated with the spirit of Imperialism?
1t should be constantly borne in mind
that the great mission of the American
people is the perfecting of their institu-
lions, and the spread of the higher civ
lization to the less advanced nations.
Dur success in war and the ambition to
extend our commerce should not divert
attention from internal affairs. In a |
conflict of arms with a foreign power the |
United States is invincible, but is there
that general disposition to deal with do
mestic conditions in spirit of unison |
and patriotism that will assure
progress and the highest pros
perity and happiness of the masses?
The greatest questions which confront
he country are not foreign, but domes-
!ic 1t is to be hoped that in their pres
.nce sectonalism and partisanism will
lnterpose no obstacle to progress.
