Y all odds the most important event in the B history of Los Angeles is the long struggle for the construction of a harbor ‘at San Pedro, ending, as it did, in a victory which-assures to that city a port of entry which virtually makes Los An- geles a seaport, and one of the foremost on the Pa- cific Coast. The contest against the powerful opposition of the Southern Pacific Company attracted the attention and enlisted the sympathies of all Californians. Its course and character are, therefore, familiar enough at present, and are not likely to be forgotten by this generation. For the purpose of preserving the story so that it may be fully understood by those who are 1o profit in future by the harbor, the history of the struggle has been written by Charles Dwight Wil- lard and published in an attractive volume hand- somely illustrated. The work is a valuable addition to the record of recent events, and may be accounted a permanent contribution to the history of the State. The next time Tammany has a banquet Mr. Hogg of Texas will be left to rest alone in his own little pen ‘down on the Brazos. The spectacle of a Bryanite kidnaping the tiger is not one the contemplation of which Mr. Croker could safely subject his nerves to a second time. E Reports from many localities show that a large per- centage of those wounded in the recent Fourth of July celebration have contracted lockjaw. What a pity so few of them were politicians and prize-fighters. It is not to be supposed for a moment, although the Southern Pacific roadbed over the Alameda marsh exhibits a tendency to drop out of sight, that it is a part of Huntington’s sinking’ fund. Tt might improve the situation in the Philippines during the rainy season somewhat if we had a general in command down there who knew enough to get in out of the wet ans to con- | 0 | STRIKING PARALLELS. ‘ HE Post is struck by the Parallel of Imperialism in the United States and the imperial career of The home-coming of the volunteers is | There is regret | ves to gloat | } | \ I | Rome. | the analogue of a Roman triumph. that no more spoils are brought, nor cap! ‘ over.

Indeed, the parallel is striking. Witness the denial | | of free speech, the violation of the privacy of the | s, the rigid censorship of all news from the dis- Wi 1 ant seat of a war of conquest that Congress never eclared, the trampling on the constitution and pro- posal to punish citizens who speak of liberty, the in- | solence of military officers and their interference in civil affairs. ness also the cunning deceit with | | which the servants of the people meet the ‘“round | robin” of the reputable war correspondents in Man- | :ila The censor cuts all the facts out of news dis- | | patches and then himself sends such dispatches as he | chooses to Washington, suppressing the truth and | lying to the people. To the charge of the cor- | respondents the authorities answer that they “have | made public the official dispatches,” and that is con- ! sidere-l an answer to the charge that the truth is kept | from the people, when the charge is that these same | officiul dispatches are official lies, coined to deceive the country. All these things are part of the Post’s | “striking parallel,” but they are no more a part of it | than the end that waits upon imperialism, the pit into | which it falls. Jefferson said that this republic was to | be a new departure, a Government that would eschew the criminal ambitions and bloody aspirations which had made Europe a hell. He and the fathers desired to avoid the striking parallel which impresses the Post | so favorably, and they must rank, therefore, with | Cato, Cicero, the Roman Silurians and the present “doughfaces.” THE MENDACIOUS EXAMINER. | HE traditional gobbler with its tail stretched | T and its ruffles distended in imbecile antagonism to the universe is a fit emblem of the Exam- iner, which struts and chuckles over its relations to the fusion Democracy, now apparently in the final | throes of dissolution. In its editorial columns of | | yesterday that organ of vicious idiocy in its langnage is unusually truculent and mendacious. Among other things it claims the existence in San Francisco of “a strong public sentiment in favor of the Democracy,” and proceeds to assail The Call, in terms that invite | a retort which will be temporarily restrained, for an alleged connection with the Huntington railroad monopoly, typified in the person of William F. Herrin. The Examiner consciously and deliberately lies. But that is a mere incident in its infamous career. That such a public expression of ‘individual egotism and vanity should have ever posed as the representa- tive of any approach toward political reform is one of the unsolved riddles of paresis. When the Democratic party, as established by Thomas.Jefferson and inocu- lated with the stern virility of Andrew Jackson, existed, it was the victim of a hundred mean and. sor- did treacheries upon the part of its pretentious or- gan. When the mongrel fusion between the Democ- racy and the Populists or socialists was embodied in the Chicago platform and in the hybrid State enun- ciatién of last year, it was again false to every prin- ciple it had pretended to revere. When the Hunting- ton corruptionists sought to impose Daniel M. Burns as a Federal Senator upon a disgusted people it sneakingly used its entire influence to promote the 4 B outrage, On the recent question of the valuation of property for the purpose of municipal taxation it patted mequality upon the back and pitted its chosen Assessor against the integrity of the Board of Super- isors. Years ago it was bought, paid for and re- pudiated by Mr. Huntington, and ever since its stupid revenges and its morbid thirst for restoration to monopolistic favor have been visible through all its pretensions and through all its hypocrisies. When the Examiner attempts to repudiate the oli- garchical control of the local Democratic organiza- tion through a combination between its managing | editor, Sam Rainey, and possibly the resuscitated Chris Buckley, it flies in the face of incontestable facts and of firm public opinion. Upon this issue may safely be left where it is. But when that promoter of “internal policies” in language of a per- sonal quality or in any language seeks to identify The Call with William F. Herrin it impudently parades a falsehood that will be resented by every decent news- paper reader and citizen in the State. In order to meet any possible suspicion of undue acerbity we quote one sentence in its own words doubt that Spreckels and Herrin would like to put felons and fugitives from justice in a position of prominence in_the local Democracy.” . This is a choice specimen of vulgar mendacity. The Exam- iner has toiled and struggled to secure the ascend- ency of corruptionists in the Republican party, not merely to aid particular schemes inimical to the pub- lic welfare, but to further the project, long ago de- tected by The Call and in which William F. Herrin is deeply implicated, to turn the State over to the fu- sionists in 1900. The Call, without a single break, and it may be said with a success that marks the com- mencement of a new era in California, has resisted every form of monopolistic aggression, whether i originated with Mr. Huntington or with any of his associates or tributaries. It has also welcomed and commended every evidence of independence and of manhood among Republicans and Democrats as ind cating a revival of the true conception of American citizenship. The independence that the Examiner has falsely professed The Call has actually manifested in a succession of controversies in which, almost for the first time in the history of California, the intelli gence and the respectability of the people have been triumphant. The miner is one of “the bushwhackers of politic It has worn about every costume through which the meanest hypocrisy and the most unblush- | ing falsehood could be detected. If racy had not constitutionally revived it would have been destroyed by the organ that represents it. The Examiner-Rainey-Buckley association will not es- cape its just fate under the hat of Mayor Phelan or by hanging on to the coat-tails of Assessor Dodge e e e i ROBERT G. INGERSOLL. Y the death of Robert G. Ingersoll the country loses one of the most gifted orators of the time —one who, had he possessed a _better balanced brain, would probably have been among the foremost of our statesmen His career is a striking proof that the most bril liant talents, even when accompanied by industry, courage and energy, fail to accomplish much if they are dominated by a fixed idea, which colors, ex; gerates and distorts everything presented either to the | mental or the moral vision. Ingersoll was sincere in all the purposes of his life, and at all time had the courage of his convictions. When the war broke out he entered the army and | served with distinction. During the reconstruction period he was a stanch upholder of the policies of the Republican party and was one of its most potent stump speakers. His speech in nomination Blaine for the Presidency at the convention of 1876 | s one of the classics of American oratory. It made kis fame national and his rfame familiar in every household. He was the_ bright particular star of the campaign that followed, and had he possessed a bet- | ter balanced intellect he might have aspired to the highest honors with a fair expectation of attaining | them. He could never get rid, however, of the fixed idea that the Christian religion is a cruel, unreasonable survival of barbaric superstition. On that subject he was almost insane. The defect wrecked his career, of | though it did not prevent him from attaining wealth and something of fame. His life was stormy and full of bitter controversies, but all antagonisms are ended now, and the country over his tomb will remember his nothing but his courage, eloquence and his| DISSOLVING CABINET. patriotism. A T the first blush the country will put only one | fl construction upon’ the resignation of Alger. | It will be taken as expression of the Presi- dent’s disapproval of the management of the War | Department, and a response to the popular demand caused by the revelations with beef and other army scandals. There is at present no doubt that the resignation was demanded. This will not wait long for confirmation, and when it is known there will be wrought a change in public opinion. To demand the resignation now will be taken as expression of the administration’s need of a seapegoat and of a timely | diversion of public attention from the errors and dis- asters of imperialism in the tropics. It can hardly be | said that Alger’s beef record and his differences with General Miles have caused this very late demand for the purgation of the Cabinet of his presence. The President, having laboriously constructed two com- | ssions of inquiry to cleanse Alger of blame, and | having taken upon himself the sins of Eagan, the | country will slowly but surely reach the conclusion | that the general polictes of the administration need to ripen in security from public attention before they can be trusted to command public favor, and there-‘ fore it is necessary to give the people something to occupy them. Official etiquette closes Alger’s mouth until he lays down his portfolio, as it did John Sherman’s, but then he may be expected to talk, and many things now greatly dark will be illuminated. The resignations of Alger and Sherman are two in- cidents that may well impress the public mind. Ia politics and their party they were enemies more bitter than Conkling and Blaine. In his book Sherman ac- cused Alger, point blank, of buying negro votes in the convention which had been pledged to Sherman for the Presidency, thus defeating the Ohio states- man. For two men in such relation to amicably con- cur in official contact was impossible. However, each has left the Cabinet for reasons in no way instigated by the other, but for causes inhering in the policies of the President and the necessities of their pursuit. This being true, the country will listen with interest to what Alger has to say. e . The parable of the loaves and the fishes has been eclipsed, if you will take the Examiner’s word for it.

The dominating figure in the opera is poor, woebegone Coquielicot. Humor of the broad sort has set its hall mark upon Mr. Wolf, and when kept out of military a play pie trappings he easily stands well to the front as a fun maker.

Her cryin song was as clever dramatically as mu. cally, and he who finds flaws in her voice distinct enough for criticism must be a microscopic bad humor. Miss Ricel walks out of her character straight to the front of the stage and sings her first solo for all the world like a concert singer.
