olulu that the Supreme Court of Hawaii
has rendered decision in the case of
the heirs of Ah XII, against the trustees
appointed by the Legislature, to pay off
the Indebtedness of King Kalakaua. All

tees for the refunding of this amount.
The trustees refused to pay it and the
heirs commenced suit The Supreme
Court has decided that the trustees must
refund the money.
-Four members OF the Hawaiian legis-
lature have been expelled for accepting
bribes from Chinese. The inquiry which
let to their expulsion developed the fact
that the Chinese had paid the Legislators
to vote against the bill restricting Chinese
immigration.
King Kalakaua will leave Honolulu
next month for Melbourne to attend the
Exposition.
Information is received that the vote
in the New Zealand Parliament by which
it was decided not to renew the mail SUBJ
sidy to the Oceanic Steamship Company
was forty-five to twenty.seven.
Parliament will meet again in Nav and
it is understood that the friends of the
measure in the New Zealand Parliament
will make another effort to have the SUBJ
sidy renewed, provided definite prom
ise of assistance can be obtained from
the United States Government in the
meantime.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, September 90
About two dozen different Democratic
organizations from this city and neigh
borhood joined in torchlight procession
tonight, the line OF march ending at
Judge Thurman's residence. Many
clubs were uniformed. Judge Thurman
was greeted by the large crowd on the
sidewalk, to whose cheers were soon
added those of the twelve hundred in the
parade. Judge Thurman spoke as fol-

Harrison's reference to dogmatic free
traders as students of maxims and not
of markets had exposed in a sentence
the fallacy of their economic creed.
Blaine then went into history, and his
speech dealt entirely with the record OF
high tariff and low tariff and the relative
influence Of each upon the country. The
various tariff measures from the first i'll
1889, down TO the issues of 1874, between
Clay and Polk, after which free
trader, Robert j. Walker, of Mississippi,
became Secretary of the Treasury. and
under whom the protective tariff OF l842
was cut down and the free-trade tariff of
1916 was placed on the statute books.
Jefferson's messages to Congress, in
which he discusses tie several methods
OF disposing Of the surplus, were cited in
comparison with the utterances OF Cleve-
land on the same subject, and at each
luncture OF the national history where
tariff issues were involved, Blaine insti-
tuted comparisons between the Demo-
Gratis of then and now, and held up the
disastrous results of 1887 as warning
that the tariff should not then have been
lowered as it was, mar should it be now
Blaine's address was designed to pre-
sent the historical tariff situation analo-
gous to the present, and in each case his
deductions were strongly in favor OF the
election of Harrison and the defeat OF
Democratic endeavors.
Speeches were then made by John F
Finerty, Rev. w. r. Derrick (colored)
and others. A parade by torchlight
procession OF 5 900 men was feature ol
the demonstration. Blaine will star
west on Monday night.

The Public Ian ds.

The Tariff is the leading issue of the
present campaign. It is of so vital an
that it overshadows all less
considerations. 1t SO completely over
shadows the less prominent issues that
it goes far towards eclipsing them. This
should not be 80, for prominent as the
tariff question is at this juncture, the
Democratic party is not an affair of one
idea. There are other abuses to reform
scarcely less in their moment to the peo-
pie than is the war tax schedule. The
Republican party is the crea-
tor of abuses. Its term of rule
was made monumental by the legion and
giant abuses which it fostered, and on
which in turn it fattened.
The Democratic party in it's platform
looks to the reformation of other abuses
created by Republican misrule. Witness
these words:
1t (the Democratic party has reversed
the improvident and unwise policy of the
Republican party touching the public do
main, and has reclaimed from corpora
tions and syndicates, alien and domestic,
and has restored to the people nearly
100, 900 900 of acres of valuable land to
be sacredly held as homesteads for our
citizens.
Voters have recalled for years that the
Republican party, when in full power,
especially right after the war, voted
away immense tracts of the public lands,
but the magnitude of these gifts to rail-
road corporations has probably never
been fully realized. During the ten years
Of undisputed Republican control of all
branches of government, from 1861 to
1871, total of 1S3, ,643, ,944 acres of land
was voted outright by Congress. OF this
amount over IS, 900, 900 acres we're voted
away in the one month of July, 1866. when
Schuyler Colfax was Speaker of the
House OF Representatives and %, 100, ,00O
acres more were voted away in one day,
March 3, 1871, when James G. Blaine
was Speaker. The following table shows
the largest of these grants and the cor
porations receiving them:

Painful fkeminiscences.

There is one aspect of the local politics
OF Los Angeles county that should not be
overlooked by the voter, and which
ought to operate in favor of the Demo.
cratic party. Democratic officials have
always been safe. They discharge the
duties entrusted to them, and it is never
necessary to collect taxes second time
because Democratic officials have made
away with them. We are not presenting
any fancy view in this matter. CITY

lican masquerading as a workingman.

ago. Every taxpayer had to dig down
into his pockets to make good Mr.. Ham

conveniently removed himself and his

our most recent and most melancholy
experience was in the case of
Mr.. Ell Hammond, the Repub.
lican County Tax Collector. This
interesting individual took his thousands

circumstance in the history
of Los Angeles city and county that

A Noble Speech.

Turnverein Hall was crowded last

every grace and merit political Grafton

of the voter to hear such combination

BLAINE IN NEW YORK.
Pretended Admiration of Harrison,s
Little Epigram.

New York, September 29.-About one
hundred thousand people assembled at
the Polo grounds to-gight to hear speeches
by James G. Blaine and other Gistin-
guished speakers. The crowd from the
very outset inagurated set of cheers
that outlasted the meeting itself. The
decorations of the grand stand and other
platforms were on scale of profusion.
Stereotyped views were exhibited bear
ing on free trade and protection. Presi-
dent Humphrey, of the Harlem Rebub-
lican Club, welcomed the people from
the main stand, while others were per-
forming the same Office and introducing
speakers at other stands about the
grounds. He introduced Governor For
aker, of Ohio, who addressed the people.
Before he had finished there
we're cries of "Blaine," "Here
comes Blaine" and as that
gentleman appeared on the platform a
scene of indescribable enthusiasm fol-
lowed. CaLnons were fired, rockets
burst in the air, the band struck up
"Hail to the Chief" and deafening
cheers rent the air. The Chairman then

PROBABLY nothing is more seriously
pondered by Republicans than the prob
lem as to whether Blaine is doing them
more good or harm. If the Plumed
Knight were indeed the very Mephis-
topheles of politics, and had desired to
shut Harrison out OF any chance of sue
cess, he could not have taken a better
method than in his attitude on trusts.
Then Blaine has become 80 identified

true, but the Council empowered to

Ihe new Charter and the Dis.
trictinE of the City.

There are many features in the new
charter which the HERALD approves of.
and we have been anxious to approve OF
the work as a whole. There are some
things, however, which are radically vi
cious, and the most pronounced of these
is the distribution of the city into wards.
Whether it was intended or not, the
ward apportionment is in fact the most
sweeping gerrymander we have ever
seen. The Democratic vote is SO distrib-
uted that the city might be carried by
the Democrats by two or three hundred
majority, and yet the City Council would
be more than two-thirds Republican.
A careful inspection of the new wards
has satisfied US that, under the new an.
portionment, six of them will be Repub-
lican, one Democratic and two doubtful.
Such distribution OF municipal power
in city which is admitted to be nearly
evenly balanced politically is to be dep
recated on every ground Of fair play.
We are told, however, by the adyo-
Gates OF the new charter, that power ia

GEN. HARRISON has missed his proper

was evidently intended to be the mana
ger of spectacular theatrical perform
ance. No politician heretofore has de-
veloped half his faculty for the business

art OF mise-en-scene. Behold what q fig
ure the Republican candidate makes

the relative merits of free trade and free
whisky! How artistic the band of small
children telling him their fathers are

want to see him elected Pres

Associated Press Dispatches To- fbe Hpp.,nI
SAN Francisco, September 29.-The
great ocean yacht race between the pilot
boat America, and the schooner G. H.
White, which had its origin in the ri
valry of the two boats in the regatta of
Of the Pacific Yacht Club, two weeks ago,
at which time the America won the race
for first class schooners, took place to-
day over the course reaching from an
imaginary line drawn from Point Lobos
to Point Bonita, then out to and around
the middle rock of the Farallone
Islands, distance of 5615 statute
miles. The race was for 81 900 side,
but was of especial interest to yachtmen
as deciding the superiority of the one
style of boat over the other. Captain
Matthew Turner, owner of the America,
being the builder of the racing yachts
Lurline and Chispa and the sloop Nellie,
while Captain White was the designer
and builder of the yachts Azalene and
Virginia. The White is longer over all,
narrower and slightly less in depth than
her competitor, but the America pos
sesses the advantage of superior spread
of canvas and quality of making head
way against heavy sea. Both vessels
for some days prior to the race were be-
ing put in racing trim and to-day when
towed to the starting point presented
fine sight with their snowy canvass and
freshly painted sides. The start had
been set for 10sA. NJ, and by the terms of
the challenge the race was to be made
within ten hours time. The wind at the
start was very light, which gave rise to
the belief that the yachts could
not finish within the time linn
tied, unless the wind should rise
by noon. j. D. Spreckels' yacht Lurline,
which competed with the Aggie over the
same course, two years ago, accompanied
the yachts to-day. The White was the
| first to cross the line outward bound at
1904, AN; the Lurline followed at
1906 "a; the America at 1000, 26L.
Word was brought tosthe city by carrier
pigeons from time to time as to.
the progress of the yachts. The
| White held slight lead for three
hours, when the wind ceased
and the America went ahead.
The middle rock of the Farallones, which
was the turning point, was rounded by
the America at 2:10. The White
rounded eleven minutes later. On the
homeward trip the America widened the
distance between the boats and crossed
the finishing line at :46% the White
crossed at 5 1927. The Lurline, which
had gone around the course in the rear
OF the racers crossed the line at :26.
