THE NORTH WEST.
Henry Wizards Best Card-Indians,
Going to WASHINGTON.

ST. PAUL, October 8.-Henry Willard
addressed the members of the Chamber
OF Commerce, by special invitation, to-
day. He said many had sharply criti-
cised his expensive Northern Pacific ex-,
cursion OF five years ago, but the outcome
had shown that it was the best card he
ever played, since from the confidence it
gave the German visitors came the
means of his later resurrection by Ger
man capital. He expressed unbounded'
confidence in the future of the North
west.
Pioneer Press specials announce that
the Cheyenne River delegation of Indian
Chiefs has reached Pierre, and will leave
for Washington in the morning. This
delegation is solid in favor of demanding
a dollar and a quarter per acre. Another
special says: "Agent Anderson and the
delegation from the Grow Greek and
Brule agencies are in Chamberlain, Da-
kota, this evening"" The delegations
will meet at Chicago Thursday, and will
arrive in Washington Saturday.

THERE has been good deal of reckless
grading of streets in Los Angeles and the
Council did we'll yesterday in referring
all future propositions OF this kind to the
superintendent of Streets, to figure up
the costs. Under the Vrooman Act the
city has to pay for all grading whose
expense amounts to more than one half
of the City Assessors valuation Of the
property. Thus, if lot is assessed at
5000, all expense incurred in the grading
over $l00 must be paid by the city. In a
city with SO many hills as Los Angeles
great care ought to be exercised in all
matters relating to the grading of streets.
In many municipalities of the United
States property holders have been ruined
by a disregard Of ordinary bust.
ness common sense in the grad
ing of streets. In city whose physical
topography is like that of Los Angeles
especial circumspection ought to be ex-
ercised. San Francisco neglected the
opportunity of making that city the most
picturesque metropolis in the world by
not adopting the terrace plan of streets.
Hills in Southern California can be made
too ornamental to allow of sacrificine
their graceful outlines to ugly cuts ant
i'm practicable straight lines.

AT THIS period the traveller from the
Western Addition eits him down under
an orange tree in Los Angeles and
sketches the ruins Of the boom. 1t was
an unwholesome and an unnatural boom
and all the kings horses and all the
kings men can never resurrect it. May
the bones of those Eastern dolts who be-
lieve that there is no good in California
north OF the Mojave desert, be buried
with it.-[San Francisco News Letter.
The foregoing choice morceau is taken
from the Town Crier's department OF our
lively San Francisco contemporary. 1t
belongs to the regulation cut and dried
wit made familiar by years of strained
effort. We may be pretty poorly off in
the city and county of Los Angeles,
nevertheless we still, "busted boom"
and all, sell from eight to ten times as
much real estate every week as does the
city and county of San Francisco. An
other redeeming feature of our not alto
gether hopeless situation is that our
eighty-five to ninety thousand people
know that they are on the high road to
metropolitan status and that they are
not, like the Golden Gate, a finished
product, with ten years of hard work a
head to fill it out to its already over
grown proportions. With four transcon.
tinental railways already centering here,
and two more a-coming, Los Angeles,
with the whole trend of California immi-
grafton plunging her way, can afford to
laugh to scorn such witless malice.

WASHINGTON WAIFS.
Another New Phase of the Chin csc
Exclusion Act.

WASHINGTON, October 8.-A telegram
was received at the Treasury Department
to-day from the Collector of Customs at
Niagara Suspension Bridge, saying that
Cinnamon en- route from Chicago with
through tickets to points in the United
States via the Grand Trunk Railroad, in
transit through Canada, asked to be per-
mitted to land under the Departments
decision No. 1922, of October "a, 1882.
instructions were requested by telegraph.
Assistant Secretary Maynard replied as
follows: "The Department has no auth
ority under the Chinese Exclusion act
of October 1st last to admit Chinese
laborers coming to your port from Canada
whether on Railroad tickets from Chicago
or not"
By an error made by the Committee in
preparing for publication the additions to
the free list contained in the substitute
Tariff bill reported by the Senate Com
mittee on Finance, it was made to ap-
pear that opium for smoking had been
freed of duty. AS matter of fact the
substitute bill expressly prohibits the
importation of such opium.
Members of the Chicago Baseball
Team were among the Presidents callers

After Judge Thurman left the Supreme
Court he returned to the Ebbitt House

regular report Of its operation and for the
auditing of the expenses of the home.
The title of the building is to be trans

REPUBLICAN journals are trying to get
up great ado about the probability that
there will be this year, as there has so
often been before, angular contest
for the Mayoralty in New York city.
They need give themselves no uneaslness
on that score. A lively competition
amongst the local Democracy will be
sure to bring out the full Democratic
vote, and Cleveland and Thurman will
benefit amazingly by these rivalries, just
as the candidacy of Governor Hill will
set every representative of every shade
of Democratic sentiment in the Empire
State working like beavers for common
success. They affect to see great danger
that Cleveland will lose his own State.
This time the reform President will
carry New York by ground-swell and
the shaking up will extend to Connecti-
cut and New Jersey, and possibly to
New Hampshire.

enact tariff law and subject foreign
products to taxation for its own benefit.
while home products were to be untaxed
for the benefit OF the home manufac-
turers. He described this as an unholv
and iniquitous system of taxation upon
the many for the benefit of the few,
How, he asked, did the Senate substitute
divide the burden of duties between the
Government aud the people on the one
side, and the favored class on the other?
1t took off the tax on tobacco 1925 ,0O, ,OOO)
and the tax on alcohol used in the arts
($7 900 ,000), and reduced the duty on
sugar, nearly all of which taxes (amount-
ing in all to $65 5,000,0 ,000) were purely
revenue in other words, the Senate bill
took SO from the Government for every
81 that it took from the manufacturers.
He characterized as sheer nom
sense, or worse, the assumption
that high tariff meant high wages.
Ii it were not so the operation of the tax
would be the same everywhere while
the fact was that wages differed in every
State in the Union and in different parts
parts of State. AS to the claim that
the manufacturers furnish home mar
ket for the farmer, he instanced as a
refutation of the claim that nowhere in
the United States was the decay of agri-
culture more noticeable and lamentable
than in New England, where manufac-
tories most abound. The effect of pro-
lection was to convert an independent
yeomanry into dependent factory opera
tives. The annual cotton product of
the South was 100000 bales, Of
which 100000 were surplus,
and with a surplus of wheat, corn
and meal, if it could not be disposed of
in foreign markets. if American producers
were confined to to the home market,
they would have to do what the Ameri-
can manufacturers did when they found
themselves in the presence of an over
stocked market, shut down their works
and turn the blessed American laborer
into the streets to beg for himself and his
children. The House bill, he said, was
framed not only to relieve the Treasury,
but to relieve the people, while the SEN
ate bill was framed so as to relieve the
Treasury and to increase the burdens of
the people. That is the difference be-
tween the two bills.
Hiscock obtained the floor, and after
an executive session the Senate ad-
journed.

THE Knights of Labor are making it
exceedingly torrid for the Indianapolis
Journal and General Benjamin Harri-
son, as the letter of E. F. Gould, Secre-
tary of the Executive Board of the
Indiana Knights OF Labor, published
elsewhere in this mornings HERALD,
shows in particularly conclusive and
convincing manner. The Republican
candidates own particular organ, the
journal which is controlled by the some
what notorious John G. New, made the
proposition to forfeit $4,000 if it could be
shown that Harrison had said that a
dollar day was enough for a working
man, the determining of the truth or
falsity of the charge to be submitted to
twelve reputable citizens, half TO be
named by each party to the controversy.
The Journal has chosen to back clear
down from its own proposition; has
shifted its attitude altogether; and
as will be seen by Mr.. Gould's communi-
cation, it resorts to contemptuous dispar-
agement of the Knights of Labor. Pre-
cisely how such kind of tactics are ex-
pected to further Gen. Harrison's can
vass, or augment his chances of success,
we fail to see. All the circumstances
favor the assumption that the grandson
of Tippecanoe said exactly what the
Knights of Labor say he said. The
Journals bluff has turned out to be a
boomerang Of great destructiveness,
knocking the News into the middle Of
next year. The entire detection of the
labor vote of Indiana would seem to be a
thing which any sensible Republican
would count upon as an incident of Har-
rison's labor record. He ought to be
beaten in Indiana now with far more
emphasis than even when Blue Jean
Williams snuffed him out by majority
of over eight thousand, in 1876.

Our evening contemporary puts among
its pertinent facts'' the declaration that
free trade would "turn the balance of
trade against u.s." This empirical state
ment might havs had some basis of
argument in 1887; but not in 1888. In
the former year, under high protection,
the balance of trade with foreign coun-
tries was only $23, 1863, 900. For the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1888, the balance of
trade was against us to the tune Of
$27, 1925, 900. This is another nut for the
high protectionists to crack and tough

IT begins to look as if California will

early blunders of the organ in saying
that protection did not protect and that
the Presidents message meant free
trade had not been made. It is a
terrible uphill fight to overcome the i'm
preston that was then made. Moreover
the wrong men are being put on the
stump, the southern counties are being
neglected, and the leaders in charge in
this city will dicker away votes on the
National ticket for votes for local offices.

There is now no question about the
Democratic outlook in California. We

cussion of the issues Of the campaign, land
the workingman is proving far quicker
and brighter student than he got credit
for being. In the campaign of intellect
he has proved himself, to the dismay OF
his Republican would-be patrons, re-
markably apt scholar. There may be
some truth in what the News-Letter says
about the neglect of the campaign in the
Southern counties. It might have been
more energetic in the beginning and
middle, but we shall make amends to-
wards the end. To notable degree the
people themselves have taken hold of
the matter. They are in the saddle and
pushing things.

THE Council yesterday refused to adopt
the ordinance closing the saloons at mid
night. As matter of fact, nine out OF
ten saloons are closed at midnight, and
the great majority OF saloon-keepers
throughout the city limits close at hours
ranging from nine O'Clock to eleven.
Doubtless the Council was largely in
fuenced in its action by the knowledge
that it was dealing with the thin edge of
sumptuary law regime which it is
sought to establish in Los Angeles, the
butt end to come later on, with all the
force that combination of Connecticut
Blue Lawism and Paul Pryism could i'm
part to it. They probably looked upon
it as the first step in crusade to tell
people not only what they are to drink
but as well as when they are to drink it.
The movement contempt plated moving on
the works Of the restaurant keepers and
eating houses. If it had prevailed, such
banquets as were given when the Odd
Fellows were here, little innocent feasts
such as are given ,as incidents of balls, ETC.,
etc., would be impossible. Excursion.
lists coming into the city at a late hour
would have to go to bed hungry, as would
the belated traveller from Fulton Wells
or hundred other places. In other
words, the proposition was to grade Los
Angeles as village instead of city and
a prospective metropolis. The Council
sat down on the wild propo al, as it
ought to have done. We don't want to
build Chinese wall of exclusion around
Los Angeles just yet while.

Mr.. Quay is out posing as purifier in
elections. Let us see; Matt did not run
the machine in 1880 when Dorsey and
Dudley spread "soap" over Indiana.
Neither did Mr.. Quay have anything to
do with the Oregon elections of last
month. And then if there is $25 900 for
the man who gives evidence to convict
OF frauds, what will Johnny Davenport
do in New York this trip? The offer, we
believe, does not extend to West Vir-
ginia, where the fine Italian hand of
Steve Elkins may be looked for in it's
results. Mr.. Quay is not the only case
of detective who purposely looks in
the wrong place to find the man he
wants.
