EVER since the initial effort to erect a
pedestal for the Bartholdi statue, the his
tory of the work and of the placing of the
colossal figure has been series of mortify-
ing halts After a vain struggle to raise
the money needed to complete the pedes-
tai, grade the grounds and set up and in
augurate the statue, Congress was APP
pealed to, and supplied the sum lacking
some $4,000. Now that the figure has
been erected, and the ceremonies of dedi-
cation performed, another halt has been
ordered on account of lack of funds to pay
for lighting the torch. When Congress
meets, permanent light viii unquestion-
ably be established on Bellows Island, and
the statue designated as the lighthouse.
But until that is done, it seems hopeless to
expect the torch TO be lighted The pa
triotism of the New York people has been
appealed to, but with even less success
than attended the begging for money for
the pedestal. Only the mean sum of a
couple of thousand dollars is needed, but
not even half that amount has been of
fered. This Statue business" is the first
instance we can recall wherein the Ameri-
can people failed to maintain patriotic
pride because of the nominal cost involved.
The French donors must be mortified to
learn that their superb gift to America is
so cavalieily treated.

Iugerson Says Anarchism is Out of
Place in America.
New YORK, November 15th.-Under the
heading Sermon of An Infidel," the World
has the following: The Free Thinkers
closed their Congress the past week. At
Chickering Hall Colonel Bob Ingersoll
made characteristic speech, in which he
introduced some rather startling ideas
{" No man can own 100000; the dollars
own him." he said. He becomes the KEY
to the safe in which the shining pile is
boarded. The poor have to learn that pity
rather than envy is what the rich need
from them, and the rich have to learn the
true and honest hearts that beat beneath
rags Anarchism is protest against tyran-
ny, and that is out of place in this country,
where we have, despite all its short-com-
ings, the greatest and grandest Government
the world has ever seen. The land which
God put out of doors is free to every child
of nature. No man has the right to own
more land than he can use. He ought to
be deprived of it. l do not blame the rich
for what they have, and would not take Il
pennys worth from the richest of them,
except at a fair valuation; but / would
take it until every man and woman born
into the world had chance to live through
his or her days here in comfort and happi-
ness Great inventions were never in
tended to pile up great fortunes and curse
the laborer. Nor will strikes settle any
thing. The first successful strike will be
the last, for the people will rise and show
that the grasp of the laborer tyrant must
be kept from the throat of capital, just as
sure as the grinding heel of monopoly
must not be placed on the PROSTATE form OF
toll When we have nation of homes, OF
those centers where love reigns, where the
race is not for riches but for happiness,
then the goal will be reached and content
will prevail

Further Elec.Ion Returps.

The following special dispatch to the
RECORD UNIoE, last evening, gives the
official vote of Humboldt county for Gov
ernor and Congressman, but omits the re-
turns upon the other State officers;
EUREKA, November 15th.-The official
count of Humboldt county is as follows !:
Swift 1877, Bartlett l,476, Garter 1884,
Thompson l SOB.
This makes gaia of 800 for Swift, but
in the calculations already given Bartletts
plurality was based upon a supposed Re-
publican majority Of about 400 in Hum
bcldt county. The following special to the
RECORD UNION, last night, indicates that
we shall not have the official count of San
Diego county until Wednesday:
SAN DIEGO, November 15th.-The Board
Of Supervisors began the official count of
the vote of this county to-day. Twenty
precincts out of fiity-four were canvassed.
At this rate the count will not be COM
pleied till Wednesday. The vote thus far
canvassed confirms the figures already tele-
graphed. J. d. Lynch and his attorney are
on the ground watching the canvass.

THE vAGRANT CLASS.

The San Diego Union devotes leader
to the immediate need of expelling a por-
ton of the population of that Furnishing
city. Those it desires to be rid of are tech
nically termed the "loyer class" more
appropriate designation may not be named.
These human pests of which our contem-
porary complains as disgrace to that
community have their representatives in
all cities. They are less offensive and no
tieeable in the metropolis, because they
are swallowed up in the multitudes
that throng the streets. In smaller cities.
however, they are conspicuous objects on
the highway and by reason of their vices,
the tyranny they exercise over debased
class of women, the privity they
maintain to crime and their presence upon
the streets, they are certainly objects of
public attention. They are, therefore, to
interior cities, the worst of nuisances,
more to be despised and abhored than the
unfortunate women, upon whose wages of
shame they live. They are blood relatives
to wretches known in police parlance as
''opium fiends,' and like them all, more or
less constantly concerned in petty crime.
They seldom hesitate to "rolp a drunken
man, and nos infrequently proceed so far
as to knock down and rob. They are ''con-
fdence men" often, and towards always.
They hang about low saloons and await
opportunities that always offer in such
places, to rob the intoxicated and cheat
guiltless ignorance. They never labor,
yet are uniformity well dressed-in short,
they are Migrants without having the ap-
pearance. The San Diego paper calls for
