M'Kinley's Endorsement.

The President may indorse Mr..
Cages recommendations by piecemeal,
as he had already done as whole; bur
each link of the chain will be as OBJ
noxious as the whole, because it leads
to the whole. He has already COM
Tnitted himself to the central idea OF
Mr.. Cages scheme. He favors the
alteration of the contract in the law
making greenbacks redeemable in coin,
to making them redemable in gold,
and he favors the impounding of them
ir the treasury when redeemed, by the
repeal of the law now existing which
requires them to be treated as money
in the treasury to be paid out as re-
Quired. Such a measure would repu-
date the standard silver dollar as a
money Of redemption, and pave the
way forits final retirement. 1t would
contract the volume of money in order
to make it scarce and therefore dear
1t would make his administration as
odious as he thought Mr.. Cleveland
made his. This criticism may be ap-
propriately closed with the following
extract from a speech made by Mr..
Mckinley himself at the banquet of the
Lincoln Club of Toledo on February
II, 1891:
Mr.. Cleveland. during all his years
at the head of the government, aCaS das-
hOnortmg one Of oar precious metals, one
OF oar 01on products. He endeavored
even before his inauguration to office
to stop the coinage Of Silver dollars, and
afterward and to the close of his ad-
ministration persistently used his pow
er to that end. He was also deter
mined to control the circulating medi-
um and dena0netize one of the coins of
commerce., limit the volume of money
amOnt the people, make money scarce
and therefore dear. He would have in
creased the value of money and dimin-
ished the value of everything else
money the master, eUeTytlting else the SER
cant. He was not thinking of the poor
then. He had left their side He
was not standing forth in their de-
fense.' Cheap coats, cheap labor, and
dear money-the SPONSOR and promo
ter of these processing to stand guard
over the welfare of the poor and lowly!
Vas there eUer more gldring inconsistent
cy or reckless assumption?
Is it too late for the President to re-
trace his steps? 1t is much too late
for him to conceal the footprints he
has made in the past. He would have
no further to go to join hands with
Bryan and Teller, than he has travelled
from his support of the Bland silver
bill and the Matthews resolution to his
recent Endorsement of the Indianapolis
Convention and his Secretary's report.
So skillful and daring G thrower of
somersalts need not limit himself to
one performance. -SiLUer Knight.

not been advertised until about sixty days
before the city lighting should begin, which
made altogether too short time to install
the necessary apparatus.
The new plan, as outlined, must meet
with favor from all disinterested business
men. 1t does away with the great diff
Guilty in municipal ownership Of light
plants, viz, municipal management, and
will secure to the city every year hereafter
competition upon one of the largest con-
tracts awarded by the city. Los Angeles
is in position to have competition from at
least three large companies under the pro-
posed plan, but under the old plan there can
be no competition. The present rate for
lighting is $975 per lamp per month, In
stead of SO, as has been stated in all the
newspaper articles referring to the matter.
Recently bids were received from water
power companies operating in Sacramento
for $615 per lamp per month for lighting
every night, and all night. From this 1t
can be easily figured what can be secured
in this city under equal conditions, and the
city, from being one of the poorest lighted,
can be one of the best lighted cities in the
country without an additional cent of ex-
pense. In fact, there will be decided saw
ing. The city will secure $50 lights for less
money than it now costs for AGO. 1t is very
natural that the company now having the
contract should do all in its power to pre-
vent tho new plan from going through as
outlined; but too much weight should not
be given to the claim Of unfairness, par
ticularly as the company has enjoyed the
contract for long time, with prices rang
Ing as high as twenty dollars per lamp per
month in the earlier years, and 1t has only
been within the last year or two that the
rates have been lowered materially. The
last reduction occurred on account of the
competition feared from the West Side
Lighting company, then just starting. But
the rate is still very much higher than pre-
walls in many cities of the size of Los An
geles. A. c. Ballet.

Let the Truth Be Told

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald:
Your editorial in this mornings Herald on
the bond-issuing job that has been forced
upon the administration by such blooming
patriots as Dollar Mark Hanna and his CO.
consprators, sets forth disagreeabie
truths, but they are truths which the peo-
pie of this country ought to know. 1t Is
refreshing to see even one influential daily
paper in California come out boldly and
sound the note of warning in the public
ear.
People who prefer to shout rather than
think may deem 1t very 'unpatriotic" for
anyone to criticise the powers at Washing
ton or to question the proprlety of anything
the administration may do in the matter of
conducting the war, but such persons
would not know what true patriotism Is
If they saw 1t in the road. The war was
ostensibly begun for the definite and sole
purpose of giving the Cubans a chance to
free themselves from the oppression of
Spanish rule. 1t was for such purpose
only that congress and the people promptly
responded to the presidents call for money
and troops. The sinews of war have been
and are still being furnished In unstinted
measure. More than month has elapsed
since the beginning Of hostilities, and Cuba
lis yet apparently not as near being freed
as she was at the start. The president asked
congress to empower and instruct him to
use the army and navy to drive the Span
ish oppressors from Cuba and Cuban
waters. The request was unanimously
granted and the ball opened. At this time
there is strong and cumulative evidence
that the original purpose Of the war-the
emancipation of Cuba-has been completely
side-tracked, and that henceforth this is to
be war of conquest, rather than war for
emancipation. Our army and navy are
playing waiting game and Cubans are
starving and dying. But the government,

Those Floats

To the Editor of tho Los Angeles Herald:
I notice that 1t has been suggested that
the Fiesta floats be utilized In the Fourth
of July parade this year. If the suggestion
is taken seriously by the committee to
whom 1t was made it might be a good plan
for patriotic committee, appointed for the
purpose, to examine the floats and see
whether there be any that would better be
eliminated from the approaching patriotic
demonstration. La Fiesta Is Spanish
enough, without introducing the red and
yellow colors of the monarchical country Of
the don to the exclusion Of the red, white
and blue of free America.
There are not a few people in Los An
geles who have received. at least an i'm
preston, that Fiesta, preceding by few
weeks, Independence day, has tended to
cast a wet blanket over the Fourth of July
celebration. II those Fiesta floats were run
into the deep shadows of some warehouse

Flour Adulterated With Sawdust

Some time ago at the depot at Havre
the government seized consignment of
10000 pounds of finely ground sawdust. In
vestigation brought out the fact that for
more than two years bakers -four had
been Systematically adulterated by the adj
dition of a free sawdust. 1t was learned
that in one department alone one dealer
had disposed of over 500 wagon loads, and
that in various other departments his
sales had aggregated over 5000 The saw
dust was purchased in Paris and shipped to
the various points where the culprit had
sold it. His customers were mostly mill
ers, who supplied the adulterated flour to
tho bakers.
