navy IOr tne united States, what has
become Of those millions? Let the un-
happy shade of John S. Robeson, late
Republican Secretary of the Navy, and
his co.conspira'or contractor Chorpen-
ming answer. He, Stephens, had de-
nominated the surplus as a national
blessing. Some of the Republican ora
tors denied that there was any surplus at
all. If there was no surplus, or if the
surplus was national blessing, why had
Republican Senate reported tariff bill
affirming the principles Of the Mills bill,
and cutting down the surplus some $75,-
000,0 900 great applause.) Mr.. Stephens
put himself and his party in their true
position. 1t was party of inconsistent
cies, incongruities and absurdities. 1t
went upon the assumption that the
American people were fools-men who
neither read nor think. Dunnigan here
threw bomb into the para
disc which Stephens had built
around the great factories, by citing
statistics showing the multitude of men
in condition of idleness and poverty in
the highly protected States. OF the tens
of thousands of tramps-a class unknown
to this country during the low tariff
period and anti-war times-now found
wandering about the States asking for
bread white men reduced to beggary by
the unjust and unnecessary taxation inn
posed by Republican laws. He referred
to Pinkerton's detectives led on by such
men as Ben. Harrison, threatening
honest labor to death if it did not submit
to work for the miserable pittance Of q
few cents day doled out by the crafty
tyranny Of purse-proud capitalists,
owners of the great factories around
which Stsphena had located his paradises.

u. p. and q. z. COMPANIES

WASHINGTON, October 4th. - General
Joseph E. Johnston, the Commissioner of
Railroads, in his annual report to the Sec
retary of the Interior, states that the rail
roads south of the Union and Central Pa
cltc and east of California have been in
spected during the year by Hassard. the
engineer of the Office. The Commissioner
inspected the Union and Central Pacific
and all the roads in California and Oregon
connected with the latter, and those in
Washington Territory.
These roads" the Commissioner adds
are all in very satisfactory condition.
They were well built originally and have
been kept in excellent condition since
Steel rails have been substituted for iron
almost everywhere"
The examinations of the books and ac
counts of the subsidized companies
namely, the Union Pacific, Central Pacific
Sioux City and Pacific and the Central
Branch OF the Union Pacific-were made
by w. Nj. Thompson, Assistant Book
Keeper, and j. Kemper, the Clerk. These
included comparisons of the reports of the
companies made to the Commissioner
with their books and accounts. No errors
nor discrepancies were detected The re-
port shows that on December 81, 1887. the
Union Pacific had disposed of 1884. .78l
acres of land, the total cash receipts from
all sales amounting to $29, 1876, ,255. There
remained outstanding, on account of time
sales, $13,5 ,53S, S6l. Average price per acre
for all sales, 81 53 for the Union Division.

WHAT THEY SAY.
Expressions of Leading Journals ON the
New Tariff Bill.

New YORK, October 4th.-The Tribune
to-day says: THE people will observe
with satisfaction that the Senate does not
intend to kill off wool-growing in this
country. Instead of putting wool on the
free list it slightly raises the duty on the
finer grades of wool, and aims by modifi-
cation of the law to prevent the fraudulent
admission of manufactured wool under the
head of wool waste, and stop the fraudu-
lent importation of worsteds, as if they
were not manufactured wool. The people
will observe with satisfaction also that the
Senate does not propose to adopt the free
trade III lumber Or salt, or agree with the
Democrats of the House in depriving the
American farmer OF the meager defense he
now has in duties on meats, poultry, beans,
peas or vegetables. 1t does not consent to
kill the borax industry of California, or
help the French copper ring by placing
that ore on the free list"
The Press says: The surplus issue is
dead. The Finance Committee of the
United States killed it yesterday by report
ing to that body bill which, if it become
law, will reduce the annual revenue of
the Treasury $4,000, 900. 1t is no star
chamber measure prepared by the COM
mittee with ears stuffed with Southern
cotton"
The World and Sun make no comment
on the Republican tariff bill.
The Herald declares the bill humbug.
and intimates that neither party is in favor
of tariff reform.

tCopyrigh, 1885, by the California associated Press
WASHINGTON, October 4th.-There was
the biggest kind of row in the Democratic
camp to-day. The trouble all came about
over an adjournment resolution. Repre-
sentatives Oates of Alabama and Turner of
Georgia started in bright and early this
morning canvassing for votes among their
Democratic colleagues in the lower house
in favor of adjournment. They met with
such marked success that they determined
to consult their Senatorial brethren at the
other end of the Capitol Speaker Carlisle
and Representative Springer were given the
mission, and after an hours labor they
came back to the House and reported that
the Democratic Senators would support an
adjournment resolution PASSED by the
House.
A DIFFICULT JOB.
Accordingly Representatives Springer
and Turner retired to the Ways and Means
Committee-room to draw up a suitable
resolution. The work took some time. for
it was found to be quite difficult to explain
the why and wherefore of this sudden and
frepzied desire to go away Immediately fol-
lowing the introduction of the Republican
etAiii Siii- 1hSy iou dUOuJ
the resolution, and Speaker Carlisle had
passed judgment upon it, when Breckin-
ridge of Arkansas entered the committee
room. He has just returned from stump
ing tour of his Congressional District. He
was told what it was proposed to do. The
effect was pronounced.
THE FIERY LITTLE FREE TRADER
From the the West tore his hair and swore.
He said the resolution should not be intro
duced; that it was political death to run
away from the tariff question now, and
that, in short, the men Who proposed this
step did not have judgment or sense enough
to carry them through an election in anv
place short of the solid South This, of
course, made the gentlemen in favor of the
resolution mad. Turner said he would in
troduce the resolution in spite of the entire
party.
AT this interesting stage of the proceed
ings it was agreed to let the matter go over
for an hour. Breckenridge made good use
of that hour. He went to the Senate and
conferred with Senators Van Clief, Harris,
Vest, Reagan and number of others, and
with them swooped down on the House,
and not only carried the day, but the reso-
luton OF adjournment as we'll. He said to-
night that 1t would never be introduced.
