pendous undertaking that now begins to
disclose itself. There is no question that
the United States assumes a certain
moral as well as political obligation In
all territory over which the national flag
becomes a fixture. Just how far our
proper duty extends in this direction is
a debatable question.
In taking a conservative view Of the
matter it would seem that our strict
line of duty demands nothing more than
is expressed in the presidents express
sion of our attitude in respect to Cuba.
We are bound to see that stable gov
eminent is established there, and that
naturally involves a school system. We
are under no obligation, either expressed
or implied, ito go farther than that. If
we give our new wards the opportunity
to help themselves it will be all that is
required, and all that can reasonably be
expected

and perspiration," and carrying a
wounded man much heavier than him.
self across his shoulders. He says:
That was only one of four badly
wounded men he carried on his Shout
ders that day over a half mile of trail
that stretched from the firing line back
to the dressing station under an I'M
ceasing fire. And as the senior sur
geon was absent he had the chief re-
sponsibility that day for all the wound
ed, and that so few of them died is
greatly due to this young man who
went down into the firing line and pulled
them from it and bore them out of dam
ger.
He adds with some excusable bitter
ness:
Some of the comic photographers who
wrote of the Knickerbocker club dudes
and the college swells, of the Rough
Riders organization, and of their i'm
aginary Wallets and golf clubs, ought,
In decency, since the fighting at Quasi
mas to go out and hang themselves
with remorse. For the same spirit that
once (at college) sent those men down
white-washed field against their oppo-
nents' rush-line, was the spirit that sent
Church, Claiming, Devereux. Ronalds,
Wrenn Cash, Dudley Dean and dozen
others through the high, hot grass at
Guasimas.
1t seems. by the way, that there were
1000 Spaniards engaged in this action
against 534 Rough Riders and 464 in
fantry under General Young-more thar
four to one. The Spaniards, too, were
entrenched in a mountain pass and hat

gallant victory for the Rough Riders.

RECRUITING METHODS

The methods of enlisting recruits for the
army in Great Britain differ greatly from
those employed in the United States. 1t is
mainly in the country districts, where
youths are 6azzled with the gorgeoustrap-
pings Of the soldiers, that the government
relies for it's raw material to replenish and
strengthen the army. Detachments OF diff
ferent branches of the regular service are
detailed to the principal towns OF each
county, band is furnished each recruit
ing station and it is the music that first
| attracts the peasants.
Fairs and markets are held In all small
towns and on such occasions the full de-
tachment from the nearest station, in
charge of a sergeant, is always present. 1t
is during the afternoons, after the farmers
have disposed OF their produce and their
young assistants have imbbbed the usual
quantities of malt, that the strains of
Garry Owen" on some other enMvening
air are heard on the street. Probably fifty
! redcoats. neat clipper and warlike, follow
the band The sergeant. pompous and
grand, brings up the rear. To a half tipsy
lad there is nothing more enchanting than
the sight of the warlike redcoats. He fol-
lows with the crowd into the recruiting
quarters and actually before he realizes
what he has dome he Is member of her
majesty.s service. The acceptance OF a
shilling from the sergeant binds the con-
tract, which nothing save desertion can
afterward break.
The Irish patriots have always tried to
preyHnt young men from joining the Brit
ish army, but their efforts have been rem
dered almost fruitess by the music and
trappings of the recruiting attachments.

WHY EMIGRATEP

Some Herald readers who live in
Randsburg are considering the expedi-
ency of emigrating to Hawaii. Through
one of their number they write for such
information and advice as may be useful
in reaching a conclusion. No doubt
there are many other readers of The
Herald who feel deep interest in the
subject, and we therefore concisely an
swer the more important questions in
the Randsburg letter.
An American who may now emigrate
to Hawaii will be on the same footing,
so far as government is concerned, as
il he should go over to the territory of
Arizona. There is no land there that
can be homesteaded or pre- empted, but
doubtless land can be bought very
cheaply from the natives. The matter
of value is determined by circumstances
as it is here. Sugar is the chief product
of Hawaii, and the only one that is i'm
portant as an export. Rice, coffee, hides,
bananas and wool are exported in a
small way. No doubt the soil is adapted
to various products. A broader field Of
agriculture will be opened by the new
conditions.
AS to the general question whether 1t
would be advisable for young men to
emigrate to Hawaii from Randsburg or
elsewhere, a direct answer is impossible.
We should say it would not be advisa BILE
to go without money enough to get a
start, and not depend on wages which
are very low. The labor there Is all
done by natives, or Japanese, or Chinese.
But why should young Californian
desire to emigrate to Hawaii or any,
where else on the face of the earth !?
There are just as good opportunities
for deserving young men here as can be
found anywhere else. A great deal de-
ponds upon the man. On the streets Of
Los Angeles you can see, any day, doz-
ems of men looking for work" with
their eyes shut. A man whose inclina-
ton leads him to hold down a curbstone
or hold up telegraph pole will not sue
coed anywhere. Our Randsburg friends
evidently have the requisite grit and in
dustry or they would not think Of going
to Hawaii. Our general advice to them
is to stick to California

A FAULTY SYSTEM

The deficiency in the city's finances,
and the consequent ENHANCEMENT in the
matter of appointments, leads to the
inquiry whether it is not possible to de-
wise a better system for apportioning
the municipal funds. This question is
peculiarly pertinent now because the
board of freeholders are at work franz
ing new city charter. The present plan,
in which the council is the controlling
element, is cumbersome and obviously
faulty. A simpler method, with more di-
rect individual responsibility, ought not
to be difficult of attainment.
The system in vogue in New York, for
example, seems to be entirely satisfac-
tory there. No such difficulties as our
officials are wrestling with are ever
heard in the metropolis. The duties
which in Los Angeles devolve upon the
council are in New York performed by a
board of estimate and apportionment.
This body is composed of the mayor, who
is chairman the president Of the de-
partment of taxes, who is secretary; the
comptroller (head Of the finance depart
ment), the president of the board of al
dermen, and the counsel to the corpora
ton. These five functionaries receive,
from all the heads Of departments, esti-
mates of funds required for an ensuing
fiscal year. At stated sittings Of the
board department chiefs are called up
as required and invited to explain all
about the items enumerated in their esti-
mates. If the figures are higher than for
the previous year, as they almost in
variably are, the board puts on the ex-
animation screws and reduces them to
the minimum. The board also has power
to transfer certain balances, and gener-
ally speaking, is clothed with a great
deal of power. But the men constituting
the board, as whole, always enjoy the
utmost confidence of the people, and the
system works with absolute smooth
ness.
Our official organization differs ma
terially from that of New York, but an
adaptation of the plan outlined would
seem to be feasible. In any case, in view
of the present financial confusion, it
would be we'll for the board of freehold
ers to investigate the matter of improv-
ing the existing system. Judging from
its present working any change would
necessarily be an improvement.
The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1898-08-28

That special dispatch in Saturdays
Herald, narrating the arrival of Maine
regiment at Jersey City, en- route from
Chickamauga, gives terribly vivid i'm
preston of the sufferings endured for
months by volunteers in home camps.
The dispatch says: zone thousand
skeletons. the shadow Of the first Maine
volunteers, reached Jersey City today
Out of the wreck of what was splendid
regiment, every fifth man was so weak
so emaciated by suffering and disease.
that he could not walk" When a cap
tain was asked what the Chickamauga
camp is like. he answered, TT is like
hell-hell-hell." What possible an
swer, what excuse. can the war depart
ment make for conditions warranting
such scathing invective?
