GIVE ALL A CHANCE

The city council, It Is to be presumed,
wishes to become thoroughly informed
with reference to the new plan of lighting
the city through semi municipal owner
ship. 1t is proposed, in brief, that the
city shall construct or acquire a dis
tributing system, and then buy the nee
essary electric current from the lowest
competent bidder.
Under such plan there would probably
be from four to six companies competing
for the contract. The fact that no COM
pany bidding would, if successful, be re-
quired to go to the expense of putting
in distributing plant greatly simplifies
matters. Such bidders are doubtless as
would be after the city shall have ac-
quired a distributing system. All they
would be required to do would be to name
their price for furnishing electricity to
supply certain number of lights under
specified conditions.
Such being the case, the city should at
once invite informal bids to serve as a
basis of computation. 1t should also as
certain the competitive cost of an ade-
quatc, well-equipped distributing sys-
tenn. In short, it should learn in advance
so far as possible, the exact cost and La
blity of putting the proposed change into
working operation. 1t is seldom that this
can be done in a matter of this kind, SO
easily as in the present instance.
When this is done the city officials will
be prepared to vote intelligently and for
the best interests of the city, and they
will at the same time have given all in
terested a fair competitive chance.
The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1898-06-01
ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE

AS a last resort, the minority in con-
gress should antagonize the proposal to
issue $500, 900, 900 of interest bearing bonds
with a counter proposition for the sale
of short-time bonds, in small denomina-
lions, to be sold directly to the people
in blocks of $5O,OOOOOO. as needed, with
prohibition Of their use as basis for
national bank circulation.
Some such scheme, if accompanied with
measures for the raising of revenues by
taxation sufficient to take care of the
bonds as they mature, will be infinitely
preferable to the bond feature Of the
house bill, which is now likely to be re-
stored by the vote of the senate.
1t will not be SO acceptable as the al
tentative propositions of the finance COM
mttee, but Saturdays vote definitely de-
termines their fate.
The administration forces in congress,
at the behest of the money power, are Bit
terly opposing proposed issue of green
backs, on the ground that the imitation Of
The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1898-06-01
WILL SWITCH OFF

It Is commonly known that the darling
object of Secretary Gage is to nave
authority to issue large block of bonds,
and that in this he reflects the wishes of
the administration. 1t is also known that
he is champing his bits over the delay of
the senate in passing the revenue bill with
a bond feature included, and that so anx-
ious is he to place bonds promptly on the
market that he has already had them
printed
Senator Lodge is a bond man, and the
Offering of an amendment by him to the
bill providing for the annexation of
Hawaii was a surprise to the bondites.
He ought to have known that the amend
ment could have no other effect than to
delay the final passage of the bill, and
that if either must be sacrificed the ad-
ministration prefers that it shall be
Hawaii rather than the bonds.
Every device has been employed to force
the measure through the senate. 1t has
almost been made to appear that with
out a previous issue of bonds battles can
not be successfully fought. The first
thing to be done is to satisfy the syndi-
Gates and the contributors to campaign
funds, for without them the govern
ment does not see how it can get along.
Under the extreme pressure for haste
Mr.. Lodge concluded that, after he shall
have made a speech on his amendment.
he will withdraw 1t. He has probably

DEFEAT OR VICTORYs

The San Diego Vidette advances I'M
answerable arguments in favor of
harmonious union of the silver
forces in California this year. Comment
ing upon the declaration by Nathan Cole,
IT., of Los Angeles, to the effect that the
Populist state central committee, which
is trying to prevent fusion, only repre-
sents one-tenth of the Populist vote of
the state, while nine-tenths of the Popu-
lists favor fusion, the Vidette says
1t does seem that every sensible
man, every man who sincerely desires
free silver victory this fall, must ia
vor fusion, as divided free silver vote
and a united gold bug vote means de-
feat for bimetallism, and a victory for
the single gold standard, a victory for
greater Understanding national
debt, victory for government by in
junction., a victory for the outrageous
robber tariff of Dingley a victory for
the trusts, a victory for Hanna meth
DDS Of purchasing presidential and
senatorial elections, a victory for
everything that plutocracy Stands
for, and why sensible men cannot see
it is a mystery to men who can see the
result of a division of the elements
which oppose these Republican dog
mas. Will the sensible, patriotic por-
ton of the Popuist party permit this
faction to drive it to it's ruin or will
they rebel against it's dictatorial, sui
cidal course, and unite with the free
silver voters of the state, and by con-
centrating the vote defeat the Repub-
lican gold bug, bond-issuing party?
Which is the most sensible, patriotic,
course? Defeat or victory-which do
you prefer?
The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1898-06-01

the currency to that extent will prove dis
astrous, but the issue of an equivalent
amount of bank currency based upon the
new bonds, is contemplated, and it is
said the treasury department, in anticipa-
ton of the passage of the war revenue
bill substantially as it came from the
house, is actually engaged at this time
in printing the bank bills.
Greenbacks, according to the policy of
the administration, are redcemable i'll
gold coin, while national bank currency,
under existing laws, may be taken up
with lawful money"
The inconsistent and unphilosophical
scheme should be defeated at all hazards.
An amendment providing for short in
stead Of long time bonds would be en-
tirely germane. Such an amendment
would have to be considered, and though
its defeat be foreordained, it should be
offered and pressed to a vote.
The opposition of Democrats, Populists
and Silver Republicans to any further
increase in the interest bearing debt of
the nation is we'll understood, but their
objections should yield when the issue is
narrowed down to the alternative of ac-
cepting the measure drawn by Secretary
Gage, at the dictation of Wall street, and
which otherwise will be crowded through
under full administration pressure.
That the people may fully comprehend,
before called upon to choose another con-
dominant party to the money interest,
there should be a roll call upon every
rational alternative proposition that car
be conceived

Bellamy's idea

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald:
In recent issue of The Herald there ap-
peared an article upon 1.-The Life and So
cialistic Works of the Late Edward Bella
N.Y." from which is quoted the following:
1.-THE one stock argument advanced
against Mr.. Bellamy's theories has been
that he fails to take human nature. with all
Its shortcomings and frailties. into &C.
count There Is great deal in this 1t must
be admitted but nobody expects that the
reform of the world will be accomplished in
day. We should not feel dis
souraged that the present outlook is not
particularly favorable. Nothing is impos-
sibe Even human nature may change for
the better.'
Mr. Belamy had no need to consider the
frailties of human nature as serious OBJ
stacle in the way of future, more perfect
civilization. 1t seems strange that any in
telligent and attentive reader Of Mr.. Bella
my's works could fail to see that his main
argument is that by changing and properly
adjusting human environment and condi-
tons these frailties and moral deformities,
many of which have originated and all Of
which are fostered under the existing in
dustrial and social warfare, commonly
called civilization" may be eliminated
from human nature, which is essentially
divine, and would be so proven under just
and proper conditions.
Cooperative reform Is the hope of the
world today. Such reform along social and
economic lines is the FIST step toward the
evolving of such a glorious civilization as
Mr.. Belamy has depicted in his beautiful
pen pictures, Looking Backward" and
Equality" and will prove them to be
prophecies rather than, as they are occa-
sionally alleged to be, mere dreams"
/ The actual practicability of the co-opera-
tive plan, especially on national scale.
with its realization of such grand results
to humanity constitutes the vitality of these
works, which have aroused such deep in
terest throughout the civilized world, and
have caused the organization of co-opera-
tive clubs, societies and leagues among
the people of all countries, who are suf-
fciently enlightened unprejudlced and pro-
gressive to see the dawning light of a new
era and believe 1t "too good not to be
| true" EMMA BRUCE.
