JOINT POLITICAL DISCUSSION.

The joint discussion on Wednesday last
between Col II. Kyd Douglas, the Demo-
cratic Congressional nominee, and Hon.
Louis e. McComas, the Republican Con-
gressional nominee, brought out large
number of members of both political par
ties The Town Hall here where the debate
was held was crowded to uncomfortable
ness Many persons of both parties were
unable to gain admission to the building,
and those who were fortunate enough
to get on the inside were jammed and
crowded. Half of the hall was allotted to
each of the parties, the division being made
known by rope stretched the entire length
of the hall and placards with the words
democratic Side" and Republican Side"
The jam caused confusion and much of the
debate was lost thereby. The parties Justify
cheered their respective speakers. Several
ladies representing both parties were seated
according to their political proclivities, and
those Of the Democratic faith presented Col
Douglas with many handsome bouquets
Mr.. McComas received like favors from his
side of the house.
DR.. Edward Wootton acted as chairman
for the Democratic side, and Mr.. James
Dawson for the Republican side. The
speakers were allowed one hour and quar-.
ter apiece. Mr. McComas consumed one
hour in leading off the debate and the quar-
ter in replying.
AT the close of the debate the general ex-
preston was that Col. Douglas got the bet
ter of it. He delivered a polished, pains
taking speech, based upon sound judgment
In contrast with Mr.. Douglasi III: Nc
Comas' speech was fiighty and antchable.
The debate will always be memorable

Republicans are not saying as much abou,
wool as they were. They got tired of see
ing the farmers laugh at them The tariff
on all woods has driven American mills to
making shoddy almost exclusively. Pure
wool in American cloth is hardly KNOWN
How does the tariff, then, increase the de.
mand for woolp To make woolens many
grades of wool are required, and the coun
try produces only part of them. The fac.
tories must get their material on favorable
terms, or quit competing in the market
where good woolens are sold.

ON THE SIDE or THE PEOPLE.

ON THE SIDE or THE PEOPLE,
That was telling point Judge Thurman
made in his Fort Wayne speech against
Gen. Harrison's proposition to expend the
surplus revenues in buying at heavy pre-
MUM bonds not yet due. Hear the Old
Roman;
"Think OF it moment. Who would be
benefited by that? If were disposed TO
create feeling of antagonism on your part
against the men who hold those bonds
might relate a little history that would stir
your blood. You remember very we'll that
what are called the $50 bonds were pur-
chased with greenbacks, when greenbacks
were worth only so or go or at most 10 cents
on the dollar in coin. You remember that
those bonds were converted into these 4
per cents, and you recollect perfectly well
that the first act of congress under General
Grants administration was to make those
bonds, which were payable according to
their face or Endorsement, in greenbacks,
payable in coin and you know that the ef
feet of that was to send them up 80 or 40 per
cent in value; and you know now that they
are worth % per cent. premium, which
makes profit to those who originally pur
chased them of 88 per cent You know that
date for the Presidency is that your money
should be taken from your pockets, without
necessity-these bonds not being due until
1S91--and poured out with this immense
| premium into the pockets OF the bondholders
of the country. Applause.
am not going to play the demagogue at
| all. / am not going to say word against
| the men who hold these bonds, but between
them and the hard working people of this
country, am on the side of the people"
[Applause.]
Every workingman, every voter should
weigh all these plain and convincing words
of this honest and illustrous old statesman.
How clearly they show the bitter injustice
Of the Republican policy as laid down by
Gen. Harrison. 1t seems when the plain
truth as Judge Thurman lays it down is
looked at fairly that such policy would be
Infamous. 1t seems almost iacredibls that
any great and enlightened nation could do
such thing, and yet there is great politi
cal party blindly following bigotel and dis
honest leaders proposing to commit the GOV
eminent to that very policy.
There is no proposition to do Injustice to
the bondholders. They will get their due
more than their due, in fact, in any case.
There interest will not suffer. There is no
question of taking from them anything that
is rghtlully theirs, but why should the peo-
pie of the country who are not holders oil
government bonds be needlessy taxed that
the bondholders should get more than their
bonds call iorP
II am not going to say wOrd against
the men who hold the bonds" says Judge
Thurman, "but between them and the hard
working people of this country, am on the
side of the people," There rests the whole
case. The Democratic party in this contest
is on the side of the people.

Taxation NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS." played
an important part in struggle some hundred

is playing prominent part in the political
struggle of to-day. Taxation without repre-

The desperate fight the Republicans are
making in Indiana, while they are doing
comparatively little in New York, would
seem to indicate that they have no hope OF
the latter State, and that their only chance
is to defeat Cleveland by carrying Connect

According to the report of the Secretary

if the foreign manufacturer is paying this

New YoRK, February 14.--A fright
full accident occurred in Brooklyn this
morning, which caused the death cf
three persons and the injury Of Z
dozen others. Along Broadway a Sec
ton of the elevated road is now in
course of construction and huge
derrick is used in building it. This
morning the derrick was started and
had been hauled but short distance
when the girders began to spread
outward. just at that moment
street car was approaching the Sec
ton, but the driver did not notice
what was going on overhead. The
derrick pressed through the girders
and fell to the ground, striking the
horse car and cutting it in two. The
fire department was called out and the
ambulance sent for, but owing to the
escaping steam and heat of the boiler,
/ it was some time before anything
could be done. Finally the debris was
cleared away, and the dead and
wounded released. The killed were
Frederick Thompson, street car driv-
Ter, Charles Kirckner and Patrick
Clark. Two Of the injured will prob
ably die, the others are resting COM
fortably.

SAN FRANCISCO, February l4.-The
Mardi Gras entertainment and mas

the auspices Of the San Francisco Art
Association tonight, was, as it
was intended to be, one Of the
grandest social events of the
season. Seldom have rooms been
decorated more richly than
those in which the carnival was held.
The halls were hung with Persian
rugs, panel pictures and medallions,
with long rows Of mass suspended
over the stairways. Around the large
hall of the Art Association rooms
were hung pictures Of old masters
and suspended over the center of the
main Art Association room was an
immense sphere constructed Of
leaves and flowers, and twenty-seven
electric lights, which shed their
lustre !. upon innumerable JApan-
ese fans, Chinese lanterns.
and other ornaments that
went to make up the decorations.
The beautiful floral decorations Ia the
main room Of the club even surpassed
those Of the first hall, and the elegant
statuary belonging to club were 30 ar
ranged n to greatly assist in the eener-
alefect. The grand march besan e
9:l5. It being Mardi Gras and leapyear,
and the ladies being masked, they in
yited the gentlemen to dance up to
the time Of unmasking, which was
about midnight. The expenses Of the
carnival were over $500, but the fair
was such a financial success that the
obligations will be more than met.

SOME INTERESTING SPEECHES
Foraker Thinks that the Outlook
Of His Party is Quite
Satisfactory.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD. |
COLUMBUS, Ohio, February 14.-In
his speech at the banquet here last
night, Senator Sherman ran over the
history Of the pa ty from the first
State convention held by the party,
over which he presided, in the city of
Columbus, to the present. He said
that the Democrats were attempting to
tear down the financial system built
up by the Republican party, but they
cannot, in Democratic House,
agree on any measure. The Ser ator
referred to the powerful organization
of the Republican party, and sat down
amid a perfect storm Of oflong-continued
applause.
Governor Foraker responded to the
toast, "The Outlook" He said: "The
outlook is bright. There is no dark
ness. No matter whether our own
great leader, as we hope will be the
case, or some other man is chosen
standard-bearer, we are ready, rank
and file, as one man, to follow him
with vim and vigor to triumphant
victory" In closing, Governor For
aker said: "We have resolved never
again to have shotgun President.
Whatever others may think, l believe
that if Blaine had made his Augusta
speech one week before, rather than
one week after the election, he would
have been elected President"
Murat Halstead responded to the
toast, "The Press" He said: "We
may infer that if Mr.. Lincoln had
been an editor instead of lawyer, if
he had been of the press instead Of
President, and if for many years he
had spent long nights in writing, as
he thought of all subjects of current
interest, often upon imperfect infor-
nation, and there had appeared each
morning printed sheet upon which
was unchangeably recorded his can
did expressions of opinion, there
would have been many mistakes ac-
knowledged as to men and measures,
and many regrets confessed and judg-
ments reversed, misgivings as to
labors personal and public indulged-
all this, in his own language, with
malice toward none and charity for
all"-and he would have safely
and reverently invoked, as upon an
act held to be the most important of
his life, "the considerate judgment of
mankind and the gracious favor of
Almighty God"

brought to test the consitutionality
Of the act Of April, 10Th, 1880, which
provides for the protection of lands,
other than swamp lands, from over
flow, by formation of districts, elec-
ton Of boards Of trustees, and the

ment on lands in the district.
The court held that no provision is
made anywhere in the statute for the
hearing of land. d.owner whose land is
to be charged. No notice is to be
given him when the Board of Trus-
tees is to levy assessments, and if he
appears when such assessment is to
be levied, no hearing by the board is
provided for in the act. Assessment
is, by the terms of the act, made an
absolute lien upon the property, with
out any means being provided to show
its illegality. For these reasons the
act is declared unconstitutional and
the assessments and sales under it are

UNDER ARREST.
A Nurse who Robbed HIS Dead
Employer.

SAN FRANCISCO, February IA. -
Christian Reimus was arrested this
morning and will be taken to Hum
boldt County to answer the charge of
forgery. A few months ago, Reimns
was employed as nurse for William
Romayne at Ferndale. The latter
died suddenly and Reimus came to
this city and presented at one of the
banks Romayne's bank book, showing
a credit for $1,000 in Humboldt Coun-
ty. 1t is said that Reimus represented
himself as the brother and assignee
of deceased, and showed documents
to that effect. An investigation showed
that the assignment was forgery
and the arrest occurred to-day. 1t is
also said, that owing to Romayne's
sudden death, suspicious of foul play
have been aroused in Humboldt
County, and the body will be ex-
humed.
