THE PITH OF POLITICS. (By ARTHUR J. PILLSBURY.) Monarchies have been established on the ruins of republics, and imperialism, masquerading in the habiliments of free government is even now holding sway over millions of men. These are historical and verifiable facts and justify lovers of free institutions in exercising a keen solicitude on behalf of a liberty that they love and of the perpetuity of institutions which they hold dear. While this solicitude is not taking a right direction when it permits ambitious petifoggers to create panics by crying "wolf" at the spectre of imperialism it may properly prompt liberty-loving and patriotic men to study well the history of republics in order to determine those causes which led empires to be founded on their ruins. These causes are not far to seek. Let us first learn how republics are not converted into empires. That will relieve our minds of a load of care. History does not afford an example in which a republic, by allowing power to become more and more centralized, finally merged into an empire with a monarch on the throne instead of a president in the executive chair. And history does not afford an instance where a republic, by annexations and extensions of authority over outlying provinces, graduated into imperialism. The foregoing would seem, at first thought, to be natural methods of evolution from republics into empires, but there is nothing which a real seeker after truth so needs to guard himself against as accepting as true things which only seem to be true at a first glance, and it is because people are so prone to do this that demagogues are able to mislead the multitude to their own advantage and the public injury. Anarchy was ever the mother of monarchy. It was not until the several states of Greece had so warred against each other that the Greeks had become disheartened with the belief that they would never again be at peace with themselves that the spirit of imperialism resulted in the founding of the Macedonian empire. The wars of Marius and Sulla reduced the republic of Rome to faction and anarchy so that the people were glad to do Can the champions of Mr. Bryan say as much? Why, every speech that he delivers is a covert appeal to the antipathies rather than to the reasons of men and his fellows upon the stump are but echoes of their imperial master. Such is the fatuity of the human understanding that some millions of most excellent citizens will cast their ballots for Mr. Bryan in the forthcoming election, but they will not vote alone. With them will stand every voter in this republic who finds the restraint of law irksome, every voter who wishes to abolish the existing order and substitute another for it, every anarchist, every man who condones assassination for political ends, every man whose love for Grover Cleveland turned to hate on the duy that he overcame the mob in Chicago and established order with force of arms. In short, there is not a single real imperialist in this republic who, having the right of suffrage and opportunity to exercise it, will not cast his ballot on the 6th of November for William Jennings Bryan. The writer will not aver that the election of Mr. Bryan would pave the way for imperialism, as no sanely reasonable man will ever that the election of Mr. McKinley will result in establishing an empire on the ruins of this republic, but the forces of imperialism are with Bryan, not McKinley. The seeds of imperialism were sown in the Wardner riots, in the great streetcar strike at St. Louis, in the fury of the mob at Akron, Ohio, in every instance where the law is overridden and the officers of the law are overcome by mob violence, and every member of every mob will vote, if he vote at all, for William J. Bryan. The people of America love liberty and respect law, and the danger from anarchy, and a resultant imperialism, is not great; but whatever there is of such risk lies in the election of Mr. Bryan, not in the election of Mr. McKinley. EXPANDED AMERICA. No. 8. The Acquisition of the Philippine Islands and What Is to Be Done With Them. With the acquisition of the Philippine islands there came an inspiration in the shape of a new national motive. Always theretofore (except in the case of new markets, to acquire and strategic points of vantage, to open way for American capital and American enterprise and bring to bear lowly and stagnant peoples an American inspiration for American products? It is not the spirit of common greed, but of commercial enterprise that prompts a nation to make avail for its own people every coigne of age that comes within reach and to prove helpful in that world coignation from which there is no escape in oblivion. The life of this nation which does not look out for its people will prove brief and ingenuous. Despite the hue-and-cry which Bryan partisans are making in campaign there is little difference clared policy between the great nations as to the Philippine question. Mr. McKinley negotiated the which resulted in their acquaintance with Mr. Bryan procured the ratification that treaty. The Republican platform declares the establishment of a stable government consistent with their fare and our duties." Mr. McKinley platform coucedes this but does that we now declare for their independence and protection from side interference. As to the concluding declaration Bryanism the Republican party that we cross those bridges will get to them. In the language of Kipling, "A blackmail levled upon foolish unforeseen," and it is a very thing at this stage of public knowledge of the Philippines and the capitals of the Filipinos for self-governance announce an ultimate policy re-establishment. WILL BE A PLENTY OF Under the Herschel Rules, Rain Plentifully, Beginning With Present Week. So says George H. Peck, then brief valley weather prophet. He has studied the weather in South California for 25 years, and is known authority upon Anarchy was ever the mother of monarchy. It was not until the several states of Greece had so warred against each other that the Greeks had become disheartened with the belief that they would never again be at peace with themselves that the spirit of imperialism resulted in the founding of the Macedonian empire. The wars of Marins and Sulla reduced the republic of Rome to faction and anarchy so that the people were glad to do away with pretended self-government that they might enjoy security under an empire founded by Julius Caesar. The quarrels of the petty states of Italy and the want of order and security everywhere furnished the foundation for United Italy under the imperial sovereignty of Victor Emmanuel. The anarchy of Marat and Robespierre was the foundation upon which Napoleon built his empire. The ineffectual attempts of the English people to preserve order and give safety to life and property amid the contending factions of Independents, Presbyterians and Royalists made Cromwell dictator and finally restored Charles II to the throne of his murdered father. This has been the course of history through all the ages and so will run its course to the end of time. The first step in putting down anarchy is to make some strong man dictator and the next is to make that dictator king. It is mob law that engenders imperialism and when, under attempted self-government, social order is sacrificed to mob law a dictator is soon found and the crowning of that dictator king may not be long delayed. If the dictator be not crowned king in form he becomes such in fact and imperialism reigns in the habiliments of a pretended republic. It is so in Mexico where the will of President Diaz is the supreme law of the land. His has been the master hand that brought order out of chaos in that long distracted land and if, unhappily, government under his wise administration has not been by the Mexican people it has been most fortunately for the Mexican people. The pretended republics of Central and South America alternating between dictatorships and anarchy are unstable despotisms. A country can grow in population, the arts may flourish and wealth may accumulate while a determined war is waging against some other country if only there can be order and security at home: It was the eighty years in which the Netherlands waged their sanguinary war with Spain that marked the golden age of Dutch painting and letters and made the cities of Holland the financial and industrial centers of Europe. France prospered as she had not before during the Napoleonic wars, and the northern states of this republic increased in wealth and population while putting down the greatest insurrection in human history. With the acquisition of the Philippine islands there came an inspiration in the shape of a new national motive. Always theretofore (except in the case of the annexation of Texas and the conquest of California, when an extension of human slavery was an incentive) the sole motive prompting each expansion of the national domain had been the national welfare. We acquired each territory just as a prudent man would acquire a new farm—for his own good and not to oblige some one else. But in the annexation of the Philippines the nation assumed a great and honorable obligation. We interfered with Spanish policy on behalf of Cuba, but what Cuba had suffered at the hands of Spanish oppression and corruption the Philippines had also suffered. Cuba was near, the Philippines were far—that was the only essential difference—and the sympathies of the Great Republic were broad enough to reach to the farther side of the Pacific ocean. The political party which, a generation ago, struck the shackles of slavery from four million American negroes has not only freed from outrageous oppression a million and a half of Cubans and a million Porto Ricans, but it has stretched its mighty arms across the sea and liberated ten million lowly people and set them forth to meet an advancing civilization. The national obligation assumed was not alone to the Filipino people, but to people of other nationalities resident and having interests among them. It is definitely known that but for American interference in the Philippine islands at the conclusion of the war with Spain a series of atrocities similar to what have recently taken place in China would have taken place at Manila resulting in forcible interference on the part of other nations and the subjugation and parceling out of the Philippine islands, piecemeal, among the nations of Europe. Thanks to American energy the foreign residents in the Philippines have been protected, order has been established, the integrity of the Philippine group of islands has been maintained and the Filipino people are being put in the way to move forward. International law requires that who so destroys a government must establish another in its place. We had destroyed the Spanish government in the Philippines because we had destroyed the instrumentality whereby that government maintained itself—the Spanish navy. Our nation could not refuse or neglect compliance with this law except at the sacrifice of honor and prestige among the nations of the earth, and of being set down as a marplot and a medler, an ignominy to which no patriotic American would willingly submit. While our national obligations to the Philippine people to other peoples resi- unforeseen," and it is a very thing at this stage of public knowledge of the Philippines and the capita- of the Filipinos for self-governance announce an ultimate policy reathem. WILL BE A PLENTY OF Under the Herschel Rules, Rainfall Plentifully, Beginning With Present Week. So says George H. Peck, then brief valley weather prophet. He has studied the weather in South California for 25 years, and is knowledgeled authority upon its effect. Whenever he says rain—he hasn't made any predicting last three dry years, he comes forth in all the priests of his youth, and prophesies after to the following effect. And Hooray for Peck: On the 23d of February last forecast was read before The Farmers' club. At that time it was much depressed and singly anxious because this season had only 6.43 inches of rain up until 11th, and none had fallen terribling six weeks, and beside rain clouds were constantly giving strong expectations of date and good rains, when d winds would invariably interpellate the clouds and their These defeating conditions had for nearly five months. But winds seemed a law. A wind tion in that paper was that this spring rains, in the season of it would about equal the earlier rain preceding the 15th of 1900. And if this did not so would be the most exception this section had experienced years. What has been rea- Rainfall 1899. October. November. December. To January 15, 1900. Total. Rainfall 1900. February. March. April. May. Total for season. [The 15th of January is then accepted end of the earlier rain tables for over twenty years in Los Angeles county; date the division point betw early and later rains; these seems reasonable to consider after the 15th of January w about equal the precipitation date. In other words, to find fall for the season, double tation previous to January 15. This rainfall was at Los Ko Pasadena, a promontory cove trees. Localities destitute o magnets which attract and die clouds, may not have precipitation. The quantity being largely dependent on factors trees and elevation; last two we should have no rain. I would humbly suggest, to all who do not want rain best and shortest way is to all the trees, especially th It was the eighty years in which the Netherlands waged their sanguinary war with Spain that marked the golden age of Dutch painting and letters and made the cities of Holland the financial and industrial centers of Europe. France prospered as she had not before during the Napoleonic wars, and the northern states of this republic increased in wealth and population while putting down the greatest insurrection in human history. There is no load which a brave people cannot carry if only they can have at home, peace, security and the orderly reign of law, and when these essentials can not be had otherwise there is nearly always some ambitions, forceful, magnetic man who will undertake to secure them through the instrumentality of a dictatorship and, if possible, perpetuate them through the instrumentality of a dynasty. Where, then, are we to look for the real imperialists? for those who "put our most cherished institutions in great peril?" for those who make the issues which will "determine whether or not our children are to enjoy those blessed privileges of free government which have made the United States great, prosperous and honored?" The real imperialists are those who seek to lead those passions and prejudices, those emmities and jealousies which make men restive under the restraints of law, which incline them to "take the law into their own hands," as they call it, in order to right wrongs that they suffer, or fancy they suffer. The real imperialist is he who preaches the doctrine of hate, who seeks to make his wage earner believe that the rich have no other purpose than to plunder the poor, who strive by a carping criticism of government to bring it into repreach before the people, who seek to divide society into classes and array class against class for the advance of their own political ends—these are the real imperialists. And where are such as these to be found? Certainly not in the Republican party. Not a Republican orator will, in this campaign, be a hurler of firebrands into the midst of any assemblage of citizens. Not a single Republican writer will be found appealing to passion or prejudice. Not one of them will dip his pen in gall-in order to write bitterness into the hearts of his readers. International law requires that who so destroys a government must establish another in its place. We had destroyed the Spanish government in the Philippines because we had destroyed the instrumentality whereby that government maintained itself—the Spanish navy. Our nation could not refuse or neglect compliance with this law except at the sacrifice of honor and prestige among the nations of the earth, and of being set down as a marplot and a meddler, an ignominy to which no patriotic American would willingly submit. While our national obligations to the Filipino people, to other peoples resident in the Philippine islands and to the civilized world in the light of international law were the paramount and all compelling motives which prompted the Republican administration to acquire the Philippine islands, that administration was not unmindful of the great industrial and commercial advantages likely to accrue to the nation by reason of such acquisitions. Such material advantages would not have proven sufficient of themselves for, if we had been at peace with Spain and she had offered to sell us the Philippines it is not at all likely that we would have bought them. An independent harbor for a naval or coaling station we might have purchased but not more. Nevertheless, great commercial and industrial advantages are certain to acrue from our possession of the Philippines. Their resources are tremendous, their possibilities boundless, their necessities for an awakened industrialism imperative and the field of American investment and enterprise will be well nigh limitless. The Philippines are at the threshold of Asia and as Asia is to be the theatre of world development during the coming century their possession by the United States will prove a great national advantage in a world competition for Asiatic trade. And is it, as Mr. Bryan pretends that he would have us believe, an ignorable thing to seek to seize a great, national advantage in the field of commerce? There are 15,000,000 wage earners in the United States. With our incomparable industrial engineer these workers are able in half to three-fourths of a year to produce more products than the home market can consume during the entire year. Are they therefore to remain idle and dependent the rest of the year, or is it the part of true patriotism for our government to reach out for... Walnut PRICES THIS MONTH. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Monthly Review of Trade Conditions for August in Southern California. The volume of business does not materially enlarge either in the East or West, but the month of August showed no backward movement. On the whole there was a bettering of conditions. Some increase in jobbing demand is listed, and rather better reports are gathered of the two great staple crops, wheat and cotton. Business in iron and steel products shows steady increase and it is thought October 1st will see a general resumption by mills now idle. Monetary conditions seem sound, and there is a general feeling of security among borrowers. Commercial failures show best monthly statement for 1900. In our immediate district an unusually cool month has somewhat retarded fruit drying. The sugar campaign is progressing and meeting expectation. Bean threshing has commenced. The crop is uneven in quantity of yield. The market is strong. Heavy buying at San Francisco on the part of the government caused a rapid advance in prices; small whites selling at $4 and above. Grape picking is in progress. The quality of the crop is excellent, the yield about average in most sections. The season's citrus yield is running close to 19,000 carloads. Orange shipments practically over. Lemons going forward with good demand. Prices still remain at the high figure reached more than a month ago. The new crop promises to be large, and growers hope that the bulk of it will be late maturing as this year's crop has been. Oranges promise early ripening and indications show for large crop. Actual trade demand in cured fruits is not brisk. There is some business in apricots and some jobbing in choice peaches. While the peach crop is not so large in the State as expected, prices are not likely to top 8½ cents packed. Outside of peaches and apricots quotations are nominal. Fig crop is large and of good quality. Since Smyrna plague scare growers have advanced prices. Should embargo last long enough to keep out the larger part of the new crop of figs and sultana raisins, prices will be affected considerably. Walnut prices will be made this month, probably 7 to 8¼ cents. Crop will not run short of last year's output. Local money is easy, and clearances "Seeing is Believing." When you see people cured by a remedy, you must believe in its power. Look around you. Friends, relatives, neighbors all say that Wood's Sarsaparilla, America's Greatest Medicine, cleansed the blood of their dear ones and they rise en masse to sing its praises. There's nothing like it in the world to purify the blood. Hood's Sarsaparilla Never Disappoints Congress and Electors. Following is the complete Republican Congressional ticket: Frank L. Coombs, Napa, First district. S. D. Woods, Stockton, Second district. Victor H. Metcalf, Alameda, Third district. Julius Kahn, San Francisco, Fourth district. Eugene F. Loud, San Francisco, Fifth district. James M'Lachlan, Los Angeles, Sixth district. J. C. Needham, Modesto, Seventh district. The list of nominations for Presidential Electors is as follows.

So says George H. Peck, the San Gabriel valley weather prophet. Mr. Peck has studied the weather in Southern California for 25 years, and is an acknowledged authority upon the subject. Whenever he says rain, it raises the hasn't made any predictions during the last three dry years. But now he comes forth in all the pristine vigor of his youth, and prophesies a wet winter to the following effect. And we say ooay for Peck: On the 23d of February last a weather forecast was read before the Pasadena Carmera club. At that time the public was much depressed and distressingly anxious because this section had had only 6.43 inches of rain up to January 17th, and none had fallen in the intervening six weeks, and besides dense rain clouds were constantly forming, living strong expectations of immediate and good rains, when dispersing winds would invariably intervene and dispel the clouds and their hopes. These defeating conditions had existed for nearly five months. Blowing-off winds seemed a law. A leading contention in that paper was that the later or spring rains, in the season of 1899-1900, would about equal the earlier, or the rain preceding the 15th of January, 1900. And if this did not so result it would be the most exceptional season this section had experienced in thirty years. What has been the result? Rainfall 1899. Inches. October. 2:35 November. 1:68 December. 1:15 To January 15, 1900. 1:25 Total. 6:43 Rainfall 1900. February. March. 1:60 April. 1:14 May. 2:60 Total for season 11:77 [The 15th of January is the generally accepted end of the earlier rains. My rain tables for over twenty-five (25) years in Los Angeles county make this date the division point between the early and the later rains; therefore, it seems reasonable to consider that rains after the 15th of January will always be equal to the precipitation to that date. In other words, to find the rainfall for the season, double the precipitation previous to January 15th.] This rainfall was at Los Robes Park, Pasadena, a promontory covered with trees. Localities destitute of trees, the magnets which attract and condense the clouds, may not have so large a precipitation. The quantity of the rain being largely dependent upon these factors, trees and elevation. Without the last two we should have little or no rain. I would humbly suggest, therefore, to all who do not want rain that the best and shortest way is to cut down all the trees, especially the tall evergreen rain grow. Actual trade demand in cured fruits is not brisk. There is some business in apricots and some jobbing in choice peaches. While the peach crop is not so large in the State as expected, prices are not likely to top 8 cents packed. Outside of peaches and apricots quotations are nominal.

The most important development of the month was the assurance to Southern California of the immediate building of the Salt Lake road. Two lesser, but still important, enterprises were also announced. A glass bottle plant joined to a new brewery, and the incorporation of a company to quarry a new lithographic stone. The ledge is near Santa Barbara.

But if they want rain, grow trees—especially tall ones. Forecast.—The following, under the Herschel rules, is the rain forecast to January, 1901. They are reliable, except that dispersing winds and some years electric planetary heats may intervene: Beginning about the middle of September and continuing through October and to about the 5th of November, much cloudiness and considerable rain. [Would it not be well, he writes in the Los Angeles Cultivator, for farmers to put barley in early, and let it come with the grass?] Probably rain between the latter part of November and the 10th of December. Our scanty rainfalls for the past few years are due to denudation of the mountain forests. Fortunately, our enterprising, intelligent and enthusiastic townsman, Hon. T. P.

If you cannot get it send for a free sample. Address, Orator F. Woodward Le Roy, N.Y. 4p IMPOSSIBLE. The Prosecutor—By the way, weren't you once arrested for horse stealing in Arizona? The Witness—Fer horse stealin'? In Arizona? I'm alive and a-livin', ain't I? For two years the eminently successful comedian, Jno. C. Rice, won hearty recognition in Herbert Hall Winslow's satire on newspapersom, entitled "A Knotty Affair." It is a well constructed, lucidly written story of a cheeky young German named Von Keuren, who, to escape the fire of a too loving girl, changes his name and advertently takes the cognomen of a gentleman—Jay Proctor Knott—who is also in a vortex of trouble. Von Keuren as Proctor Knott is pursued by an irate wife, saddled with a girl to whom he must be guardian, caught in countless love complications and arrested for numerous crimes he never heard of. In fact, his persistent torture nearly drives him insane, and a strange coincidence relieves his overburdened mind. The participants in this domestic complication are a Portuguese professor, a tough office boy, two jays, the spurious Von Keuren, and a quartet of designing young ladies. W.R. Dailey will be seen as Wilhelm Von Keuren, the enterprising young German, a role in which he is highly successful. Mr. Conlon will essay the tough office boy; Miss Helen Hargreaves will be the girl in search of a "pon," and the balance of the long cast have congenial allotments. In addition, Conlon and Ryder, the Healey Sisters, and the wonderful Day Children will give special numbers at the commencement of the third act. Seats are now on sale. Prices: 25, 35 and 50 cents.

A Few Words about Pain-Killer A prominent Montreal clergyman, the Rev. James H. Dixon, Rector St. Judes and Hon. Canon of Christ Church Cathedral, writes: "Permit me to send you a few lines to strongly recommend PERRY DAVIS' PAIN-KILLER. I have used it with satisfaction for thirty-five years. It is a preparation which deserves full public confidence." Pain-Killer A sure cure for Sore Throat, Coughs, Chills, Cramps, &c. Two Sizes, 25c. and 50c. There is only one Pain-Killer, Perry Davis.' A Shocking Calamity "Lately befell a railroad laborer," writes Dr. A. Kellett, of Williford, Ark. "His foot was badly crushed, but Bucklen's Arnica Salve quickly cured him. It's simply wonderful for bursa boilis, piles and all skin eruptions. It's the world's champion header. Cure guaranteed. 25c. Sold by P.A.Derge. Next to the Lowest Bidder. "Said contract to go to the next to the lowest bidder" is the way that a local building contractor would have the closing sentence read in advertisements for bids on any particular job. While speaking of the matter recently this same contractor said that if the truth were known nine out of ten of the lowest bids made are made through a mistake in the calculations of the bidder. "If the contractor who gets the job was aware that his bid is oftentimes $1,000 below that of the one next above him, and this on a comparatively small job, he would immediately institute a search and find where he had made the mistake, thus having an opportunity of failing to qualify to complete the job. This privilege is often denied the bidder, however, and he gets well along with his work before the fact dawns upon him that he is on a losing venture. It is then too late to go back on the job, and the result is that the party who is doing the building and the contractors also are losers, and this because of the natural inclination of the contractor to shirk in order not to lose any more than he is absolutely obliged to in order to get out on the bad deal. "These mistakes are not only disastrous to the parties immediately concerned, but to the trade in general, as by the error of the unlucky bidder another worthy contractor is unable to get the work at reasonable figures. Give the work to the next to the lowest bidder, I believe to be a good general rule."—Omaha World-Herald. Working Night and Day.

Belgian Hares a Pest. An ordinance has been adopted by the San Diego Board of Supervisors making it unlawful for any person to liberate Belgian hares in the county or to permit any which may have escaped to remain at large or unconfined. It was shown that the increase from one pair of healthy Belgian hares would amount to 1,723,846 rabbits in ten years, and that with several thousand turned loose the county would be overrun with the animals, and the horticultural interests would suffer greatly, as the rabbits are very fond of young fruit trees and grape vines. The ordinance adopted makes it unlawful for any person to have in his care or control any Belgian hare without providing safe and sufficient means of inclosure to prevent the same from escaping or running at large. Every violation of the ordinance is made a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine not to exceed $100 or by imprisonment in the county jail not to exceed thirty days. Oil Notes. The Home Oil company of Whittier has completed a contract with the Los Alamitos sugar factory to furnish it with oil during the present sugar making campaign. It has already delivered within the past three months 6,000 barrels. A contract has been signed with the Pasadena Gas company to furnish that plant with 20 carloads of oil at $1.20 a barrel at Whittier. The company has a standing contract with the Redlands Electric company to furnish four carloads of oil a week at $1.20 a barrel in the field. The Liberty Oil company's well is down 1600 feet deep with 600 feet of water in it. Work has been suspended, but it is said that it will be resumed shortly. At one time this well yielded large volumes of gas and great encouragement for oil. Excursions to San Diego and Coronado Beach.

I was with him when he was purchasing his supplies.” The Hog. No other animal has been more modified by civilization and none reverts more quickly to the original wild type than the hog. Three generations of running wild suffice to turn the smooth, round, short snouted razorback or hazel splitter, thin, lank, leggy, lapeared, sharp snouted an Ishmael in bristles, running like a deer, if running be possible, fighting as only a wild hog can fight when battle is imperative. The tusks, which have been half obliterated in the process of civilization, get back size and strength. At a year old they are formidable, at 2, murderous; at 3 or 5, more deadly than a sword. They afford a certain index of age up to 6 years, but are commonly broken in fights long before that time. Wild boars are very ill tempered and, when worsted in fighting, often revenge themselves by ripping the bark from trees as high as they can reach. HEART-SICK. There are a great many people who have heart sickness, who have no chronic derangement of the heart. When the stomach is diseased it may affect many other organs, and produce all the evidences of diseased heart, diseased liver or kidneys, or disease in some other organ.
