In the face Of these incoptrovertibie

tion that the League for Better City
Government, which is made up of all
parties, and the leading newspapers,
which are opposed in politics, are en-
gagged in exposing corruption for par

The truth of the matter is that the
decent people of Los Angeles, Of all po-
litical parties. are a unit in demanding
that their school system be purged of the
corruption and corrupters that have
fastened themselves upon 1t. This very
fact, which the Call affects to regard with
such suspicion, is the strongest possible
evidence against the gang whose organ
the Call, by its detestable policy, admits

pECENCY AGAINT CORRUPTION

The San Francisco Sunday Call de-
votes nearly two columns of its space to
a bitter and biased attack on the League
for Better City Government, which it
says, is organized for political purposes
The Call began its attempt to dictate in
the affairs of Los Angeles by SANDER
ous publication, which it labeled Webb's
side of the school scandal. Its declara-
ton that the presentation was purely
disinterested and in behalf of fairness
might have had believers were it not for
the fact that Webb's San Francisco or
gan has since made daily attacks upon
everybody and everything not signed
over and delivered to Webb, soul and
body.
The assertion that there is politics in
the effort that is being made to purify
the board of education from the cloud
of scandal and corruption in which it be-
came enveloped through the acts of some
of it's members is absurd in the eX-
treme. The "Solid Six" which for a
time dominated the board under the
guidance of Webb, was made up of Re
publicans, Democrats and ond Pop
ulist. Webb is a Republican; Adams is
a Populist. Two of the board, Davis
and Conrey, were nominated at the in
stance of the League for Better City
Government, and these two, more than
any other members, are entitled to the
credit for exposing the corruption in the
board and working to eliminate it. Sew
eral other members of the board. Webb
among them, were indorsed by the

M'KENNA NOT CONFIRMED

President Mckinley sent the nomina-
tion of Attorney General McKenna as
justice of the supreme court of the
United States to the senate for confirma-
ton some time ago. The senate COM
mittee to which it was referred has re-
ported in favor of confirmation, but upon
motion consideration of the matter by
the senate was deferred for week.
Ever since the name of McKenna has
been mentioned in connection with the
justiceship of the supreme court, charges
of incompetency have been made against
him from various parts of the United
States, but more especially from the
Pacific coast
Before his appointment by President
Mckinley as attorney general, McKen-
ma was district judge Of the federal court
for the northern district of California
1t is charged by some of the members
OF the bar and of the bench of the Pacific
coast who have known him intimately

fornia will tend to oranges rather than to
other not favored crops. Arizona land will
tend to the same use as far as available.
Florida will be tempted back into the
orange producing states. and Cuba and
Honolulu, II annexed, will DO the same
The outcome must be production greater
than the home market can take. First
will come reduced freight tarins to the
east, or the fruit will rot in the orchard,
and, last, we will be forced to seek a for-
eign outlet, like the nall men, for the sur
plus. Doubtless the orange trust, already
foreshadowed, will be the result. But bee
fore the trust comes the orange industry
will go through a period of severe dis
tress,
! ask the Express, in conclusion, how the
orange industry would fare II Its doctrine
of producing what we consume was gen.
orally applied. Could California ever con-
sumo the oranges she now sends to seventy
million people, and even to London?
The Express advocates the construction
of the Nicaragua canal. The object OF tnis
costly canal Is to reduce the natural tarins
of time and money, now handicaping tne
commerce of the Pacific coast.

move the natural tariff due to inferior

to increase the commerce OF Los Angeles.
Commerce consists in exchange of COM
modities. How can the Express reconcile
the advocacy of these great and important
improvements while suggesting CONNER
cial boycott for American products sent
to Los Angeles, and while advocating the
artificial tariff of the politicians, imposed
to nullify the very advantages the port
and canal would give us?
And the Salt Lake railroad? That would
bring in cheap butter. In fact, this road
would deluge Los Angeles with Mormon

Salt Lake with fruit. Does the Express

experience ct all; that after his appoint
ment as district judge and up to the time
OF his appointment as attorney-general
his judicial experience has consisted Of
the decision Of several minor and unim-
portant cases. In fine, it Is charged that
the little experience he has had, the few
opinions he has written. prove his in
competency and unfitness to sit in a
court that is justly recognized as one of
the most august judicial tribunals in the
world.
These charges Of incompetency and
unfitness may be unfounded. but it is
well that the senate makes haste slowly
and investigates them thoroughly be-
fore it considers and decides upon the
confirmation of McKenna. Our bench
and our bar afford many men whose
qualifications cannot be questioned and
whose integrity is beyond reproach, and
If these charges are well founded the
senate can do the people noble service
by refusing to confirm MeKenna and in
sisting upon the appointment of jurist
whose ripe experience, careful training
and vast legal attainments fit him for,
and make him an honor and source of
strength rather than weakness to, the
highest judicial tribunal under our gov
ernment.
McKenna should have a fair and i'm
partial investigation, but If this inves-
tigation discloses even suspicion of
justice to the people, to
the senate and to the supreme court de-
mands that his confirmation be refused.

FINANCIERS AND CUBA

A ten-line dispatch has solved the
cause of the Administrations weakness
in dealing with the Cuban situation. 1t
says that financiers are apprehensive
that business affairs might be unsettled
by fears of foreign complications and
that th<V have wired the president to
withhold sending war vessels and to pre-
vent infiammatory speeches in congress.
1t is also said that European bondhold-
ers are exerting their influence at
Washington to prevent intervention by
the United States.
These dispatches furnish the only ex-
PLANTATION of the Indifference of pres
ident whose party claims letters-patent
on a vigorous foreign policy, and if they
be true, then the laws of nations, the
principles of justice and the precepts
of humanity are at last to be measured
in cold dollars and cents. 1t would be
gratifying indeed to those who have not
lost their manhood, their sense of duty
and their love of country in the struggle
for gold, to witness one act of the pres
ent administration which has not its
birth, it's growth and, let us hope, its
death in doing guard duty for the gold
dollar and the gold bond.
Our intercourse with other nations has
hitherto been conducted according to
the we'll established principles Of inter-
national, sometimes called natural, law,
which, as it's name indicates, is founded
upon the fundamental principles of JUS
tice and equity. The history of our for
egn affairs shows that the United States
has always endeavored to live up to the
very letter of this law and that in nc
instance has it transgressed it for pur-
poses of plunder, or for gold, or at the
sole instance of any man or class of men,
or failed to demand and, If necessary,
to enforce it's rights because of the objec-
tions, or more properly because of the
political influences of financiers.
President Mckinley has furnished a
protective tariff for the benefit of mill
owners; he is busily engaged in forcing
upon the people his gold scheme for the
benefit of bondholders; he is using his
influence and position to repeal or annul
the civil service laws for the benefit of
office holders, and finally, if these dis
patches are true, he is now conducting
our foreign office in the interest and for
| the benefit of dollar holders.
President Mckinley and his advisers
should learn that there are few things
| that are not measured by the gold stand
ard, and among these are duty, honor
and principle. Duty demands that the
wholesale starvation of women and chill
dren and the wanton destruction o1
homes and fields of the Cubans shall bt
stopped By the principles of interna-
tional law and by precedent this govern
ment has the right to intervene in behal1
of the Cubans, who look to this govern
ment alone for succor and assistance
Honor compels that nation which has
fed the famine stricken people of Europe
and Asia, and which stands as the pro
tector of the weaker governments of thi.
hemisphere as against the dominating
and plundering nations of the eastern
hemisphere, not to blot its good RECORD
by permitting the Spanish government
to exterminate the Cuban people.

A NEW FORCE LAW

The crisis in industrial New England.
accentuated yesterday by the closing of
half hundred mills and the throwing
out of employment of tens of thousands
of laborers of both sexes dependent upon
their toll for daily subsistence, has called
out flood of reasoning in current publi-
cations as to the causes and the cure.
The raw product of the factories, the
staple of the southern states, has fallen
in price below the cost of production. 1t
is now cents pound, the lowest figure
ever reached in the worlds history. La
bor has deprecated also to the starva-
tion figure, and the issue has been made
direct by demands for still further re-
ductions ranging from 10 to IL per cent
This exaction had no sooner been pro-
mulgated than the price of prints in the
markets of the world fell sufficiently to
about correspond with the proposed
wage decrease. Mill men claim to be
Indifferent regarding resumption. The
operatives plead they cannot subsist
upon the stipend offered. The thought
full student of the situation says: 1.-THE
spindles must go to the cotton fields"
Ex-Comgressman Elijah A. Morse of
Massachusetts, credits labor legislation
with the cause of the depression, and in
a somewhat cold -b1ooded way intimates
that the remedy is in return to the con-
ditions existing a quarter of century
Of in nj q
mills ran from IA to 16 day, when there
were no legal restrictions upon child la
bor, and when the simple suggestion of
a strike was deemed a crime.
The Boston Globe antagonizes this
retrogressive hint, but offers a remedy
quite as impracticable. 1t would make
the cheap workers of the south realize
more keenly both the worth and the
dignity of honest labor. and it suggests
that organization, which has accom-
plished so much for the wage earners in
the north and west, must be pushed be-
yond Mason and Dixon's line as never
before" 1t also hints at federal legis-
lation to govern the hours of labor and
the employment of children, and de-
clares that the sooner strong influences
are brought to bear in favor of such pol
icies at Washington the better!
Here we have, in an attempted digni-
fled discussion of an industrial problem
the acme of New England greed and
selfishness! Stripped of its sophistry
and ill-concealed platitudes, the sug
gestion of the Globe is that the federal
government shall now enact laws for
the control of labor in the south which
will prevent further competition in that
direction with the cherished industries
of New England, and that, while this is
being done, Yankee propaganda shall
undertake the organization of the blacks
in the south, teaching them how to stand
up for their rights, how to resist long
hours, how to object to the further en-
ployment of child labor, how to COM
mission the walking delegate, and go on
strike! Protected by federal customs
laws for three-quarters of a century in
their exclusive productions, largely at
the expense of the southern planters
who were the main consumers, they
now demand another form of protection,
the enactment of species of industrial
force law, boldly and brazenly aimed
at the young industries of the southern
states!
Oh Boston!
