We have a city of about 110,e50 people, a
city Of handsome buildings, a city OF
wealth. culture and refinement-the queen
city of the great west.
Everywhere is heard the noise and bus
tie of metropolis. There are all kinds of
factories and the number is increasing
rapidly, so rapidly as soon to entitle Los
Angeles to classification with the great
manufacturing centers of the United
States. A large percentage OF the con-
sumers' supplies are manufactured here.
business is being kept right at home.
Even the material for our big steel blocks
is turned out at home. 1t Is these con-
ditions that will force Los Angeles ahead
and make it a Chicago.
This permanent home products exhi-
hition the work of that grand organiza-
ton, the Merchants and Manufacturers
association, will do incalculable good. IT
will act as a stimulus to home industries.
1t will ever keep before the eye of the
consumer the fact that Los Angeles can
produce as good an article as any other
section of the country. 1t will keep money
a home. Every one of US should help along
the good work. I know that every member
of the city government is heartily in SYM

/ want to state right here that the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association is
proving itself one of the greatest factors in
the upbuiding Of the City of Los An

NIT me to say in conclusion, that l wish
for this undertaking unbounded success
and that I bespeak for it the hearty sup

j. S. Slauson, representing the cham
Der of commerce, said that many mem

laudable intention of building up very
useful new institution. He alluded tc

Rebellion Rampant

NEW YORK, Jan. Pa dispatch to
the Herald from Panama says:
The following dispatch has been re-
ceived here from President Eloy Alfaro
of Ecuador under Quito date:
"Our enemies are endeavoring to in
wade our country from the south, but
thew fear the government of Peru, which
has nromised this country to prevent any
violation of the neutrality law"
Advices by wire from Guayaquil state
that Ecuador is seriously threatened
with a revolution against President
Alfaro. A large armed body, headed by
exiled chiefs of the Clerical and Con-
servative parties now in Peru, has gath
cred at the frontier, and will attempt to
invade the Ecuadorian Province of Lola.
Both Ecuador and Peru are putting

plements and illustrated his remarks by
referring to some of the exhibits in the
hall. The brewer, soapmaker, gasfitter,
creameres and others all came in for
some of his pithy observations, all of
which We're spicy and humorous.
He was followed by P. M. Daniels,
president Of the board of trade, who be-
lieved that the permanent exhibition of
home products must be a great factor in
the building up of the commercial future
of Southern California. The ladies
should imbue themselves with this idea
and patronize home products solely,
whenever possible. There was no telling
what good results would come from such
course. The one chief factor in the
development of this section consisted
just in this. He was certain that the
cooperation of the women of Los An
geles would ensure the success of the
home products exhibit If they did not
help it with their good will it would re-
suit in failure.
Col. Harrison Gray Otis, who was in
the hall, having been requested to say a
few words, spoke briefly and to the
point. He remarked that the exhibit
might be developed into something very
creditable to Los Angeles. When our
people undertake anything earnestly
they are sure to make a success Of it, In
the speakers judgment, there was no
spot on this continent which had before
it such a brilliant future as had Los
Angeles today. Her soil was productive,
the climate unexcelled, the communica-
tions good, the people enterprising, and
with such a multiplicity of advantages
we might be reasonably sure within the
next ten years of a development that
would astonish the world.
Tomorrow at 2 p. m. the parade in cell
ebration of the discovery of gold, under
the auspices of the Merchants and Man
ufacturers' association will take place,
and in the evening a free concert from

The permanent exhibit of home prod

last evening in the vast hall formerly
occupied by Meyberg Bros. on Main
street. 1t now rests with the women OF
Los Angeles whether this exhibit shall
remain a permanent one or not. If they
will it that home products shall be
patronized in preference to those that
come from other sections or other
states, then the success of the venture
is assured and the advancement of
home manufacture must result.
The foundation for this permanent ex-

An Incredible Assertion.

The Scranton Times estimates that
1000 RcpublicansinL LaCkawanna county
will this year vote against the Repub-
lican nominee for congress, thus caus-
ing the election of a Democrat. We
have never taken much stock in the
Scranton Times political prophecies;
certainly if 1000 Republicans have in
formed the Times of such an intention
they have not revealed this purpose
elsewhere.
Why should any Republican this year
vote against the Republican congress
sional nominee? In the great war con-
gress he never missed an important
vote or failed in any particular to do
all that he could to sustain the credit
of the nation. uphold it's hands against
the national enemy and stand by the
Republican president William McKin-
ley was not badgered by him to do
things which the presidents good judg-
ment opposed; William Mckinley never
had to ask him for support. From the
first day to the last William Connell
was i'm his place of duty, doing his duty
like man and no Republican in either
branch of congress was more faithful
or loyal
The Republican who at time like
this. when his country is yet under the
shadow of foreign war and the ques-
tons of a peace involving new and SOL
emn obligations and responsibilities
are awaiting answer, should permit any
personal bias or disappointment to
turn him against the nominee of his
party for congress, would not deserve
to be called a good Republican. Though
he might claim to be a Republican his
course would be that of an enemy to
the Republican party. a deserter of the
president and man unworthy of eX-
ercising an influence upon the opinions
and votes of his fellow-men. If there
are men Of this type opposing the Re-
publican nominee in this campaign we
trust that they will be given the power.
ere election day, to see themselves as
others see them; to realize in what an
unworthy relation they are putting
themselves toward the obvious best in
terests of their country.
But we cannot believe that there are
enough of such misguided Republicans
as to warrant the Democratic organs
jubilation. Republicans should show on
Tuesday that the Scranton Times is
mistaken

tions of the Democratic PARTY in Penn

irreVocably hostile to each other are

and the waging of n desperate and
determined and hopeful fight for the

the sound money Democracy can
swallow jerks they will not again
bolt free silver nominee for the
presidency in 1900. We shall have the
battle of 1896 to fight over again, lack
ing the help which in that year came
to the sound money cause from sound
money Democrats.
substantially every Democratic vote
in Pennsylvania will be cast on Tues

Republicans should not deceive them

In this situation what is the duty of
sincere Republicans? DO we need to
answer? The question virtually an
swers itself. The Republican voters of
Pennsylvania cannot afford to let free
silver and free trade carry the day,

HISTORY is REPEATING.

davits and statements alleging all man
ner of villainy have been numerous and

over a period of forty years will recall
the bitter personal assaults that Woe
made upon the founders of the party.
Seward was u BLACK Republican, a
"nigger worshipper," a freedom Shrek

as the first American, and by Henry Wat

epithet was too foul for his enemies TO

poraries believed him to he vulgar, un-
couth and ignorant fanatic. But the ma
jorty of his COuntrymen believed in him
and history has confirmed their iudg-

century, was stigmatized as a brutal

An Upright Judge.

The presence on the Republican
ticket Of Hon. f. w. Gunster as it's
candidate for judge in itself recon-
mcnds Judge Gunster to Republican
support, since it came about in re-
sponse to an overwhelming vote in open
convention and constitutes high tes-
timOnial of character and fitness.
But intelligent voters owe it to them
selves regardless of party and to the
fair fame of the judicial Office to re-
elect Judge Gunster For years the
drift of enlightened public opinion has
been in the direction of freeing the
bench from all entanglements with or
dinary party politics. In a number of
the judicial districts of PENNSYLVANIA
the precedent has been established that
an honorable and efficient Judge should
be retained during efficiency by cordial
concession Of both parties, and the
number of such precedents is continu-
ally increasing. This drift has fol-
lowed awakened recognition of the fact
that the man who sits in trial of issues
affecting property and life should be
absolutely free to give his best judg-
ment untrammeled by partisan or per-
sonal obligations
The record which +. W. Gunster has
made upon the Lackawanna bench has
won the approval of an immense ma
jority of the competent observers who
have scrutinized it closely. He has
been not only learned in the law but
fair and upright in its Interpretation
evincing that analytical quality which
probes to the marrow of causes and
intent and decides for justice without
fear or favor An ornament to our
judiciary in the judgment of every one
whose judgment concerning such a
matter Is entitled to weight, his vote
should be a measure of the countys
progress in intelligence and quick dis
cernment Of judicial merit.
