True American Patriotism

The young man Of an inquisitive turn
leaned himself against lamp post and con-
centrated his mind upon mastery of one
of those little cardboard affairs on which
is printed a cut of the Maine with instruc-
lions to flight the fuse and see how the
Spaniards did tia Thei fusei is designated
by a faint black line running to the corner
of the card.
Got light?" inquired the young man Of
a much older gentleman who happened to
be passing with lighted cigar. The older.
man stopped, critically examined the paste
board bomb and then agreed. in the alb
sence of a MATCH to touch the thing off
with his cigar.
'"That'll do" said the young man. Touch
it here
Siz-z-z-z, and then 1t went out.
"Touch her again."
A second time the cigar was applied. A
little more Sizing, and the fuse went out
again. Twice this operation was repeated.
Gone out again. Touch her once more"
Once more the cigar was pushed against
the black line which had now worried itself
to the hull of the Maine.
There was sudden report. The cigar was
blown half across the street and four pairs
of fingers were sadly burned. The old gen.
tleman looked al the inquistive young man,
and the inquisitive young man looked at the
old gentleman.
ut surely was an outside explosion,
wasn't it?"
That's what 1t was" And without an
other word the two parted. Such is true

One Stem Further

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald:
Charges have been made that shipowners
in San Francisco have asked the navy Ge-
nartment 80 per cent more for their vessels
than they are worth. Senator George C..
Perkins takes exceptions and comes to their
rescue in the senate chamber of the United
States by refuting the charges and goes one
step farther by stating that the steamship
company with which he is connected oe-
clined to sell any of lis ships to the navy
department. The senator's loyalty is not
in question. Up to date June 17th) the navy
department has bought and fitted out $50
vessels. No thanks to Senator Perkins
Our English cousins across the pond are
willing to come to our rescue if we lack ves-
sells.

kins, has been named assistant paymaster

How about those who spent four long
years in our last war and received honorable
discharge, who are eminently fitted for po-
sitions of trust, or even when executive
ability might be called in question? 1t seems

THE CITY's OFFER REFUSED

| The water company has formally de-
plant. as opposed to the cempany's price
Of S3.O00,00O. 1t suggests that arbitration
be proco' ded WITH and incidentally raises
two important questions. First, as to
whether a bond issue for the municipal
purchase Of utilities would be constitu-
tional; second, as to how the city could
be bound to accept the decision of the
arbitrators.
While the first question will have to be
thoroughly investigated and solid ground
reached before the bonds are issued, 1t
gives no great cause for worriment at the
present time. Opinions differ as to the
rgal phase Of the question. Good author
tiles say the issue would be all right
The same question was raised at Santa
Ana a few months ago over the issue of
some sewer bonds, but it was not per-
mitted to interfere. Still the point in
volved may not be the same in the case
of this city.
The second is the more difficult question
of the two. Tie water contract, which.
the courts have decided is valid, says the
decision of the arbitrator shall be bind
ing on both parties; but it cannot compel
the people to vote bonds if they choose no.
to do so. The water company suggests
that bonds be voted prior to the arbitra-
ment. sufficient to cover any amount
that might be named. This plan is open
to objections. 1t would not work. The
people would not vote a blanket bond
issue of that character. They would not
buy a pig in poke.
The city and the water company should
proceed to arbitrate not crossing these
bridges until they come to them, which
will be soon enough. 1t is not fair to as
sumo that the people will not accept the
result of arbitration. Arbitra ton is what
they have demanded all along. 1t is a
course to which they are legally bound;
and to assume that they will not abide by
it is to favor the presumption that the
board of arbitration will name an ex-
travagant sum, which, of course, would
be unjust. Let arbitration be proceeded
with. The selection of competent, hon
est and conscientious board. having the
confidence Of all concerned will clear
many of the clouds away.

Not a Popular Trade 81

Three men were standing in front of the
postoffice and to them came the fourth.
One of the three did not know the new
conner, and stepped aside slightly, but he
overheard the conversation
"Well, John, how's things?"
Poor, very poor. I haven't had thing
to do for three weeks"
"Is that so?"
Sure. If this streak of luck keeps up I'll
have to go out of business"
Instead of commiserating, the other two
men grinned, and one said in an unfeeling
tone: II don't care if you never have work."
John shook his head sadly and passed on.
The listener was shocked. He had never
heard anything so bluntly cruel. In few
moments he expressed his feeling somewhat
warmly. att
HE seems like an honest fellow and de-
serves encouragement" he concluded.
Both men laughed right outright

Old Glory Enough

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald:
l am regular subscriber to The Herald
which consider the best paper in South
ern California. Your editorials are all right
and have the proper ring, and certainly
espouse the cause of the people. but think
that the idea as mentioned in The Herald
of June IS under the head of Under Two
Flags" is not exactly the proper thing. The
Fourth of July is day of all days in our
national history. The day commentaries
the independence of the American people
from the British yoke.
We celebrate the Fourth of July as joy
Gus event, that we are free from British
rule, and the British flag, or Union Jack, in
the Fourth of July parade seems to me 10
be entirely out Of place. There should be
but one flag on that occasion-the glorious
Stars and Stripes.
If the English residents wish to march IN
the procession, all well and good; but let it
be under the folds of Old Glory. No other
flag should be seen. The Fourth of July is
an American day, for American people, and
under the American flag. We don't need
any British flag or Union Jack.

A FHUITLEss BLOCKADE

The administration organs have a free
and easy way of branding those who have
the Independence or the temerity to criti-
else the management of the war by the
heads of departments at Washington, as
traitors; which is an ill-natured though
not an effective way of trying to enforce
a gag law.
The criticisms visited upon the war de-
partment have been made to stick, not
withstanding the wriggling expostula-
tions of the iucompetents and the roars of
their defenders; and now it is the turn
of the navy department.
The Associated Press correspondence
from Havana printed elsewhere in this
mornings Herald, makes the most posi-
tive statements that the blockade Of
Havana is Intellectual. and that large
quantities of provisions are being regu-
larly supplied to that city. The details.
though circumstantial, are of sort that
cannot be set aside with conte mptuous
Indifference. Assertions of the same
character have been made before, COM
ing from Jamaica and other points that
were supposed to be sending provisions
to Cuba; but The Herald has preferred
to wait for more reliable testimony before
venturing upon adverse comment.
If statements of the Associated Press
correspondent are true, all the time spent
In the pseudo blockade of Havana since
the war began has been worse than
wasted. Nor is it easy to understand

where there is no special advantage to b.

The Herald fully understands that
captious, partisan criticisms upon the
conduct of the war are out of place; but
on the other hand the requirements of
patriotism do not include blind endorse
ment of incompetence. There are some
things the country would like to know
and which they have the right to know

AN INTERNATIONAL BANK

The senate has passed bill empower
ing the incorporators therein named to es-
tablish an international bank. The gen
eral idea is to establish the mother bank
in this country. with branches at suitable
and convenient points in Central and
facilities for effecting exchanges, and
thereby stimulating trade between the
countries of the western hemisphere.
| 1t will be remembered that in 1889
there was held in Washington Pan
American congress. Among the subjects
discussed was inter-American monetary
relations. Two measures were suggested.
one being an international bank and the
other being a plan for coming a money
that would be accepted in domestic and
international transactions by all the
American states, or as many as would
come into the arrangement.
The influence of the European gold
standard people defeated the latter prop
osition, but the bank idea was approved.
Balances of trade between the nations
of the western hemisphere are adjusted
and paid through London, which has
long been the clearing house for the
world. Balances have been invariably
against this country, largely so, in trade
with Brazil and Cuba, and slightly in
our traffic with Mexico and the Central
American states-and they have been
Nv ~ tic
monopoly of London has been a source of
great profit to the banks of that city,
and loss to this country to the extent
of exchange rates. Paying balances in
that roundabout way has been no in
considerable embarrassment to our trade
with our hemisphere neighbors.
If the international bank shall have the
effect to shift the clearing house for our
trade with American countries from
London to a city of the United States, it
will vastly benefit this country, and the
others on this side of the Atlantic. 1t
may prove to be an entering wedge for
the adoption of a western hemisphere
monetary system. or at least an inde-
pendent system of our own.
The present war has given us high
consideration in Europe as a military
and naval nation and has elevated our
position as a political power. Yet we will
not gain the highest respect until our
money system becomes American. We
cannot hold the highest place among ma
tons, however potential we may be in
numbers. wealth and ornaments, II our
money system is dictated to US. Should
the senate bill become law, and be exc
cuted theoretically, it may prove to be
beneflcent. 1t would be but step, how
ever, in the direction of the much that
should be done.
Let us burst the shell which has been
placed upon us, and free ourselves from
the financial trammels which have been
put upon us by Great Britain, assisted
by other European governments.
