Historically asks the Chicago Times
Herald: "Now that war is on-egged on
to no little extent by the silverite party in
congress-we would like to know IL that
party is still going to play politics with
the question:" The silverite party voted
to man for an appropriation of 50,O00,-
900 for the national defense, giving to a
partisan president unlimited discretion
in it's expenditure, and before a dollar
of it had been spent a Republican senator
from New Hampshire declared that this
war will be fought under the banner of
Republican administration, or 1t will
not be fought at ALL" The partisan ma

The Herald has received letter from
some OF the young ladies of the High
school protesting against the name THE
American Boy" for the battleship
which the school children will build to
replace the Maine. They say the ship
should be called Young American" and
they are right. The girls are just as pat
riotic as the boys; they are working just
as nard, and are contributing Just as
freely and it would be unjust, impolite
and unpatriotic not to recognize them in
naming the new battleship. The Herald
said as much several weeks ago, and is
pleased to see the girls stand up for their
rights.

aid, suggests that the fiesta fund be used
in constructing the projected boulevard
between this city and Pasadena. There
will be something like $1,000 remaining in
the fund after all the bills are paid, and

amount would give employment for
time to worthy citizens and enable them
to save large number of horses that
otherwise, owing to the lack Of work and
the high price Of feed, would be killed
and used as fertilizer, infiicting a serious
loss upon their owners.

an annual cost per cat of IS marks, are

An Internal Danger

To the Editor Of the Los Angeles Herald:
I learn through your columns that our rep
resentatives in Washington are again
about to issue bonds, to be redeemed In
CON-" which, doubtless in the interest of
the money power, will be interpreted "a
mean gold" What are the men of the
United States thinking about? Are they
so overwhelmed by sympathy for the mis-
fortunes of Cuba that they forget the dam
gers Of their own people?
Will they fight the oppression abroad,
while being entrapped by the oppression at
home? Are they again going to allow
moneyed men to add to their millions at
the expense of the people? Are they going
to permit the same fatal legislation to be
enacted as that of the last war, and which
has made over 1000 millionaires, and multi
millionaires? Does any one doubt that,
while we all know silver is as truly coin as
gold, the Interpretation will be that it
means gold. 1t was so interpreted thirty
years ago, before silver was degraded, and
how can we hope for anything better now
Secretary Gage says bonds should be
paid in the "best money" Has 1t come
to this in this country "of and for the peo-
pie" that there is one kind of money, 1.-The
best" for the rich, and another and in
ferior for the poor? Is this idea and prac-
tice to be perpetrated?
Only because of the willingness or indif-
ference of the voters can 1t be. And are
the voters going to permit a repetition of
the infamy of thirty years ago, which has
led to such disastrous results?

mistake to teach US wisdom for the flu

1t is an old adage, and usually a good

man must have more or less solicitude
upon this very important matter. SO far
as President Mckinley can control 1t |
feel confident that he will follow what he
believes to be the wishes of his patriotic
fellow citizens and think it the duty Of
all such persons through the press and in
other public ways, to voice their scnti-
mcnts.
