THE NEW DESTINY

The promised revival of the Cuban
fruit industry, when the island shall be-
come pacified, is not particularly reassur-
ing to the citrus fruit growers of Cali
fornia. Since the decadence of that in
dustry in the Antilles their chief competi-
tors in the markets of the cast have been
separated by an expansive ocean and more
or less elastic tariff schedules. There is,
therefore, little good cheer in the sug-
s.stion that as soon as Cuba shall come
practically under the control of Ameri-
cans, there is to be a revival of the former
large production of semi-tropical fruits,
presumably to be entered free of duty in
competition with the surplus crops of
Florida and Southern California, or with
only such slight restrictions as may b.

WHY FUSION Is NECESSARY

Reform in the administration of the
public offices in this county can only be
brought about by the election of
a reform ticket. The present in
cumbents must be routed and
the nominees of the Republican party
defeated before there can be hope of a
more efficient county government. AS the
offices stand today they are all Repub-
lican. For the last ten years the Repub-
lican party has had absolute sway in the
| conduct of these offices. During these ten
years the spoils system has been gradu-
ally extended until we are face to face
with a close corporation which has for it's
object the perpetuation of the Republican
party in power through the political
manipulation of the public offices of this
county.
The abuses which have resulted to the
people from this spoils system are known
to every observing citizen. 1t has caused
inefficiency and aroused the just suspicion
Of corruption in the several departments
of our public service of which the records
show much and conceal more
Securely seated upon the throne of
spoils, enjoying the lucrative salaries
which their influences with the state leg
islature enable them to secure, and for
titled, protected and defended by the pat
ronage which the same influence and the
same legislature has placed in their
hands to be peddled out to those men
whose sole business is to retain their lords
in power. these petty kings of Republican
politics defy each of the three reform
forces, knowing full we'll that with their
well-fed and richly paid legions they can
rout any of these forces single-handed
upon the first onslaught
The question arises if there be a remedy
for the abuses and a solution of the diff
Guilty above mentioned. The answer is
not far to seek. The remedy is to change
the present Republican administration
to one that is pledged to inaugurate the
reforms so sorely needed in this county
instead of increasing the burdens upon
the people from year to year, and
the only means at hand of accomplishing
this end is by coalition of the three sill
yer and reform parties. This is the solu-
ton. That is the platform upon which
fusion must be fought for and
these are the reasons which de-
mand it. Change Of administra-
ton and reform are the issues which
transcend all other issues in county poll
Populists and Silver Republicans arc
united, and 1t remains to be- seen whether
these parties are of the people and for the
people as they profess to be or whether
they may be made the pliable but useful
tools of the Republican party

NEW STAMP ACT

The first silent but expressive effect of
the present war on business circles will
be made manifest on or about the first
day of July next, through the offices of
the collectors of internal revenue. On
that day the stamp taxes provided by
the revenue act of June 10, 1898, become
operative, and thereafter the afffxing of
the prescribed stamp to every document
or article within the purview of the law
becomes condition precedent to the le-
galty of the transaction.
This fact brings the matter to the i'm
mediate and serious attention of all bust
ness men and women in the United
States.
The words stamp act," figuratively
speaking, have for American ears a lin
geringly repellant sound. There is a his
torical "reminiscences about the phrase not

Under Two Flags

To the Editor of The Los Angeles Herald
What is the matter with the climate of
Oceanside, which hitherto l had believed
was one of the most salubrious spots In
the Italy of America? Or is the fruit in
that vicinity unripe or malignant at this
season? Surely, some physical ailment
must affect your correspondent who in to-
days issue inveighs against the proposed
demonstration of British born Americans
on the Fourth of July? No one, except, per-
haps, a few "Irish-Americans," who for
their own and selfish reasons, oppose any
sympathy between the United States and
Great Britain, believes that the ordinary
Englishman has aught but censure for the
foolish and knavish policy of the English
crown and the English administration
hundred and twenty odd years ago. Why,
sir. the John Bull of today, even If he has
never been on American soil. has the full
est sympathy for the day which commence
rates the independence of the American
people from the British yoke.
1t seems to me that your Oceanside cor
respondent is displaying an intelligence OF
very narrow .oportions, or spirit of mis-
cradle mein when he would wish to GUST
the British-born Americans from forming
distinctive ana novel feature Oh our OuTtH
of July parade. The United States is out
growing the vindictive memory of mistakes
which, after all, have been very much to
her own advantage.
The Fourth of July committee took the
initiative in this idea and it was warmly
taken up by the citizens of the United
States, who happened to be born within
British dominions and still retain an affec-
ton for the flag of their fatherland, while
they will yield to no man, born in Maine
or California, in their loyalty to the Stars
and stripes.
Only narrow or jaundiced vision could
dictate such sentiments as your corre-
spondent gives voice to. Without indulg-
ing in any pretentious truisms regarding
"blood being thicker than water" or as
to the destiny of 1.-The two great English
speaking nations of the EARTH allow me
to say that the spirit of the government
Of Great Britain and of the English peo-
Pile at large has been so just and so gen
erous in our present struggle that it seems
to me it would be with but poor grace
should we not accept any signal of good
feeling offered by those who, while born
ir the land of 'our traditional foe'-vide
the history books-are many of them our
fellow citizens, and who all by this action
bear us the best of good will. H. B.

Our National Policy

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald:
The question which many good and patri-
otto citizens are asking today in relation to
the conduct of the war is, "Shall our gov
eminent keep it's faith and word and pre-
serve it's honor or shall 1t stand convicted
of being a hypocrite and liar?"
When war was declared against Spain,
hut a few weeks ago, our government,
through it's chief magistrate, declared to
the world in the most solemn manner that
its purpose was not territorial acquisition
but solely to aid and protect the suffering
people of Cuba in securing and maintaining
their just rights.
Whatever any other nation might have
felt concerning the necessity or expediency
of the war, 1t must have been said, and was
said, that it was a chivalrous and disinter-
ested act in behalf of suffering and OPP.
pressed humanity.
Can this be truly said today?
Again. do we stop for a moment to con-
slider what policy of territorial acquisition
means-that it means great standing
army and costly navy that shall entail a
perpetual burden of debt upon every man,
woman and child?
Today we are the only nation on the earth
which does not spend more money upon the
military than upon schools. A few years
ago the commissioner of education al Wash
ington in his report showed that even the
British government expended more than a
hundred times as much for her army and
navy as for her public schools With the
ctner European nations the disproportion
was still greater
Are we ready to join this procession? Is
this the highest and best manifestation of
American patriotism?

AND CONVENTIONS

Politics is, or should be, a matter of
business. AS government is conducted
with us, all elective officials find their
way into public office through the instru-
mentality of politics. There is no other
way of placing the name of a desirable
nominee upon the ticket than by party
machinery. This machinery consists of
the primary and the nominating con-
vention. At the primary the men,
bers Of the particular political or
sanzation or party assemble and elect
delegates to attend a nominating con-
vention. The nominating convention in
turn selects the candidates of the party
for the office to be filled at the general
election.
This mode of selecting nominees is Dem
ocratic. for the members of the party
have voice and vote in. the selection Of
delegates to represent their particular
choice of nominees and their views upon
political issues.
The theory of this plan is that since
lit is purely representative of the people
the delegates to conventions and party
nominees must be men thoroughly rep
resentative of the party. In practice.
however, while in majority of cases
delegates and nominees have been repere-
sentative men, it is notorious fact that
primaries and conventions of all parties
have been manipulated and run by cliques
a hat
spoils and nobody but themselves.
The cause for this condition of affairs
may be found in the objectionable in
difference of that class of party members
who think they discharge their whole
duty by voting once every two
years at a general election, neglect
ing every other party and polit-
ical duty. They take no interest in, and
fail to attend primaries, thereby giving
to the rings and cliques the golden OBJ
portunity of capturing the delegates at
the primaries, and by this means of con-
trolling the conventions.
In short time the Democrats of this
county and state will be asked to send
delegates from their several precincts to
the state and county conventions, which
will be charged with the important duties
of nominating men for county and state
offices. The question naturally arises
whether the members of the Democratic
party of this county will permit the
county convention to fall into the hands
of few wire pullers when they have the
power to prevent such catastrophe.

CALIFORNIA OPINION
The Silver Republicans

The Vidette is glad to see the Silver Re-
publicans moving to effect county organ
ization. 1t is the proper thing to do, 10
doubt, there are many Republicans who
are friendly to bimetallism, who will join
in with free silver Republican organiza-
ton who would not join the Democratic or
Populist organizations. A name with many
people goes a great ways, and to overcome
the ,prejudices men have for a party name
let the Democrats, Populists and free silver
Republicans each have county organiza-
ton. and it will be found that this plan will
strengthen each organization and bring out
a larger vote. Then, let each organization
join forces in county convention and nom-
mate fusion ticket and with a close and
thorough union of the bimetalists' forces
not a goldbug Republican will be elected
this fall The Silver Republicans are en-
titled to fair representation on the union
ticket, and If they will organize their forces
and send their delegates to fusion ccnven-
ton they will be recognized by place on
the county ticket.-San Diego Vidette.

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald:

company. The rules adopted by that conf
pany are simply unique and represent re-

master mind 1t has divided the people into
two classes. First. those. who are able to
employ unlimited help and use large guam
titles of water at high rates; second, those
who have modest homes and while having
to pay are not permitted to use water at all.
Rule 1 provides as follows: Lawn
sprinkling shall be confined to the hours of
1880 to $3.50 a. m. and 1880 to b:3O p. m. on
alternate days"
This means that the ordinary citizen en-
